Recent upgrade slowing computer?
I recently installed an upgrade to Mavericks but the computer has become quite sluggish since then. I'm running OS X 10.9.5. I aslo backupped the computer too but can't imagine that affected its speed.
OK--I was able to follow your instructions until you asked for "any messages I've having trouble with"! Not sure how to tell what those may be but I'll paste a possible suspect here. It makes no sense to me but I hope this is what you are looking for. (BTW the word "wakeups" below reminds me that for several weeks now I have discovered that the computer had not been shut down entirely as I had assumed. Don't know if that relates to the general slowdown or not.) Thanks,
Denise

logged in to iTunes today and my playlists were gone and all uploaded music was gone-no recent upgrade or computer change-why?!
There is one way, however I strongly recommend you back up your music since while this process has a very high success rate, very rarely it messes up with your iTunes, so better safe than worry, yes?
Please read first through all the instructions and make sure you understand them before doing anything
Once you have backed up:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Open the iTunes Music folder, on a Mac this is in ~/Music/ and in Windows it’s in Username\My Music\
3. Drag the file labeled “iTunes Music Library.xml” to your desktop
4. Drag the “iTunes Library” file to the desktop as well (make sure this is no longer in your iTunes folder at all)
5. Relaunch iTunes
6. Before doing anything else, go to File -> Library -> Import Playlist
7. Now navigate to your desktop to the “iTunes Music Library.xml” file that you placed there earlier and select it
8. iTunes will recreate your playlists
Hope it works -
Hi I recently upgraded with a new computer. I see that when I open my itunes that my old playlist did not transfer to the new computer. I want to transfer my paylist from the old computer to the new one without loosing what I have on my IPOD Nano (7th Gen) at present. I saw that you can link the IPD directly to te computer and download the playlist to my new computer. Okay so I just hook in directly once I have it set up what do I push to transfer the playlist frommy IPOD to the computer> A by-the-number explanation would be appreciated as I am not computersavy and over 60. Thanks
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not entirely sure if this is what you mean, but the following User Tip may help you.
Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. -
i have an iphone 3gs. i recently uprgaded my computer which ment it went from windows vista to windows 7 ultimate.I want to add new music from my computer to my iphone but it says i have to restore it and loose my itunes content. If i do that will i loose everything including texts and contacts? Help ! im so confused because im using the same computer as the first time!
The iPhone "thinks" it's a new iTunes libarary because your computer has a new operating system. As long as all your music and other media is on your computer, you will be fine. The iPhone will be erased because it "thinks" it's a new iTunes library, and the "new library" (which is actually your unchanged data) will be put back on.

Recent upgrade, slow performance, shown in Activity Monitor
I have been experiencing gradually slowing performance in the last couple of weeks, the only thing I have done a couple months ago is upgrade to Leopard, though the timing does not indicate it's this precisely.
It is most noticeable in Safari and PS CS3 and Bridge, the programs I mostly use.
In Activity Monitor, when this occurs there are a couple of offending processes, and they are always hanging when the slowing phases happen. They say, in red:
UserEventAgent (not responding)
and/or
coreaudioid (not responding)
Does anyone know what this might be? How I can correct whatever this is?
thxThat thread indicates the cause points to various plug-ins primarily from Pro Tools. I do have PT installed, and I have now uninstalled it. We'll see if things improve. Otherwise I don't know how to isolate the cause, for example another random plug-in, so the thread was of limited value. Good start though, thanks.
Pro Tools LE 7.x is apparently not yet compatible with Leopard, joy. -
To all:
I recently upgraded my computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. Now my Itunes library is no longer available? When I try to sync my IPod or Iphone 4 to ITunes, it states that the content on my devices belong to another Itunes Library and do I want to transfer purchases, erase etc?
How do I get my old Itunes Library back? Some of my music are from CD's I own and really don't want to start the years of building my Itunes library all over again?
How do I bring all the contents: contacts, music, apps etc from my Iphone4 back to Itunes?
Confused.The ipod/iphone/ipad are not backup sotrage devices.
Certainly you did not upgrade your computer without making sure that your backup copy of your computer was up to date. Just use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back. -
i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing. For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work. It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly. I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too. I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously. About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working. However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it).
Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances? The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution. Does anyone have any solutions? Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues... -

SLOW computer...due to Snow Leopard upgrade?
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard on my iMac as it seemed I had to in order to keep my iCal syncing with my iPhone, Microsoft Exchange, etc. Now that I've upgraded, my computer is so stinking slow! Firefox and Safari are brutally slow and even iTunes and iPhoto struggle. I have to force quit all the time too. NEVER had any problems before I upgraded. Did I do something I shouldn't have? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks in advance and please let me know if you need any more info to help solve my problem. It says I'm running 10.6.7 on my About This Mac with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM....let me know if you need more!
THANKS!
MPI do remember something about Rosetta - (I installed SL myself) - is there something I need to check for that? Or uninstall?
I read the FAQ (wow...pops and buzzes...) and about the only thing that stands out to me is that I didn't disconnect my external hard drive before ugrading. Otherwise, I don't really understand much else - I'll have to reread it and concentrate a little more!
The only "stuff" I have added to the iMac is my external hard drive (OneTouch4), my printer (HP - it's newer), and copies of Apple's versions of Word/Power Point/Excel. I have an Airport too. Everything else came with the iMac. Nothing has changed other than the addition of Snow Leopard.
I am happy to read all the info you suggest and try things but if it's too complicated for a beginner, then I don't mind having the Apple Store do it. I just want my speed back!
Thanks so much for your patience with me! -
I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before). It says the serial number is invalid. Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?
You are allowed to have two activated installations. If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?). Talk to Adobe support thru chat. They might be able to resolve this with you:

I recently upgraded toSnow Leopard, after that I was given a continual message that I had to reinstall my Internet Cleanup. So I did. Then I turned my computer off and now it will not turn on at all. Help!
See if your Mac will boot from the install DVD.
Then uninstall Internet Cleanup.

I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
"Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple"
I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
CheersThis is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
*My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card. -
I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?
I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
