Poor/slow window load with 8mb of ram and A7 chip ***

A new Macbook pro with all the trimmings and its slower then my old dilapatated h/p ***.

i just wonder why this so. i check my networking and cpu usage and it seems fine but then while on line my windows either wont completely load or some other silly glitch and its odd for suck a new and equipped laptop. am i missing something or should i take it in to have some one give it a once over.

  • Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
    Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
    Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
    Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

  • I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" Snow Leopard Quadcore icore 7 with 8Gb of RAM and Im a Webpage Graphic Designer but why is my Macbookpro is so slow!?

    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" Snow Leopard Quadcore icore 7 with 8Gb of RAM and Im a Webpage Graphic Designer but why is my Macbookpro is so slow!?
    I'm opening like Skype, AIM, Chrome the Memory Hog, Adobe Photshop and Illustrator...  Its so slow! I tried Onyx, CleanMyMac, iFreeMemory or just purging  but still i still have to restart to get it back to normal after closing all the applications... im not really impressed with the memory swapping thing,Even though my inactive RAM is like 2GB its so SloW! Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

    It's hard to say why your machine is slow, but that machine with 8 GB of RAM should not be slow.  Could be any number of possible problems.  Try taking a look at the Mac OS X Speed FAQ.

    I am upgrading from Tiger to SL in a MCBPro with 2 gb ram and an intel chip and I get the following notice:  Installation failed.... THE INSTALLER COULD NOT COPY THE NCESSARY SUPPORT FILES. Any help is appreciated...

    Yes.   I've found that works best.  Especially if the drive is external, since external connections are typically slower, and Spotlight loves to eat up space going back and forth.   Time Machine will eat up as much space as it can, and typically needs drives at least twice the size of the original hard drive that is being backed up, if being backed up in full.   So unfortunately there is a lot of empty space that is needed for smooth operation.

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

    I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia.  Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1.  Now it is showing that sim is not valid.  The same sim works fine in other phones.

    Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
    This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
    Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
    And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If  i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this:

  • W520 with 32 GB RAM and slow performance

    hi all
    I post this info for those of you running into similar problems when upgrading the W520 to 32 GB RAM.
    I've a W520 2720QM with Windows Server 2008R2 installed which I upgraded to 32 GB RAM with 4x8 GB CORSAIR Value RAM Modules. After doing this, the Laptop was incredibliy slow on performance and starting of programs took a long time.
    I solved this with changing the Grafic option from Optiums to Integrated in the BIOS (1.35). After that, performace is back as before. In the BIOS there is a message saying, that the Optimus setting should be set only if Windows 7 is installed. As I'm not running W7 I had to change the setting.

    Hmm, currently another guy with 24GB of RAM have similar issues here

  • Slow to respond with 2 GB RAM

    Hello to the community,
    I have a 20-inch aluminum iMac running on a 2.4 Ghz Intel processor with 2 GB of RAM, and Leopard 10.5.2.
    I find the system responds sluggishly when running the following:
    - Parallels Desktop (1 GB allotted)
    - Robert and Colling bilingual dictionary (running in Parallels)
    - Voice recognition software (running in Parallels)
    - Word 2003 for Windows (running in Parallels)
    - Firefox (running in Leopard)
    - PowerPoint (running in Leopard)
    - Entourage (running in Leopard)
    - Skype (only occasionally running in Leopard)
    Now I realize Firefox has memory-hogging issues and any voice recognition demands lots of processing power, so basically my question is:
    a) Is it normal to experience slow-downs under such conditions (checking available RAM in Leopard indeed shows less than 100 MB left when running the above programs)?
    b) If I upgrade to 3 (or even 4) GB or RAM, will my problem be solved?
    Thanks ever so much for your time.

    Hi Duane,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    Yes, I'm quite sure that shutting down one or several of these applications would free up some RAM, but the reason I listed these programs is precisely because I work with them all the time in parallel.
    Undoubtedly, voice recognition needs both RAM and raw processing power, which is why I wanted to know if levelling up to 3 GB of RAM would solve my problem.
    I will (hopefully) soon be able to run voice recognition software directly in Leopard, as a product called MacSpeech has been announced and is scheduled for release later this month or early next month.
    That will at least allow me to shut down one program in Parallels Desktop. Next step is to buy the PC/MAC version of the bilingual dictionary I use!
    So what do you think? Will the extra gigabyte help me run programs more smoothly?
    Thanks again for taking the time.
