Running Too Slowly For Skype

We have a 1 month old NB300 with 1 gb standard. When trying to use Skype (battery or mains) Skype indicates that computer is running slowly. We can hear people from other end but our conversation fades out. This also happens on the Skpe test. All other programs are closed & switched to high performance.
Any suggestions? Will buying another gb of hard drive help. Running Windows 7 starter. Thanks

Hi,
Personally, i never used Windows 7 starter. But as I know, skype doesn't require much Cpu resource to run. The 1 gb installed memory is pretty enough to run it. Have you tried to use the previous Skype versions?

Iphoto is running too slowly.

My iphoto is running too slowly. I think I have too many pictures. I do not want an editing program. Is iphoto library manager what I need to? I have read so many of the questions here but can't find one that fits my problem. Will getting the library manage help? Do I delete photos from iphoto then? Is the trial version ok or do I have to pay the $30?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is you library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
what do you mean by "too slowly"?

My internet has started running extremely slowly for no apparent reason. Please help?

The internet on my Macbook suddenly started running very slowly, it can take 5-10 minutes to load a page. This isn't a problem with my internet connection as our other devices are working fine. I have tried installing updates but seems to be too slow for them to install and have also reset Safari.
Appreciate your help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have a MacBook late 2008 with OS X Lion 10.7.5 that is running very slowly for the last month

My MacBook is running very slowly. It takes an extremely long time to load an application, to respond to a command, and to quit an application. This has developed over the last month or so. Should I take to Apple Store? A friend suggested that I may need more RAM.

If you have 2GB of memory, that is the minimum required for OS X 10.7 Lion, however, many have found it needs 4GB+ to run reasonably well. Click on the apple on the left of the menu bar, then about this mac, to see how much memory you have.
To confirm if more memory will help, from Launchpad and utilities, load the Activity Monitor. Look at the system memory tab, specifically at page ins and page outs. If page outs is 10%-15% or more of page-ins, you can use more memory for what you run. When the system is low on memory OS X will write the contents of memory to the hard drive to make room for something else to run. Too much of this can impact performance. If you need more memory OWC and Crucial are both quality sources.
Also check your free hard drive space. Generally, you want 10% or more of the capacity to be free for systems usage. If free space gets too low, system performance will also be impacted.

Compression Job running too long for infocube 0IC_C03

Hello All,
I have loaded around 50 thousand records ( For two different Plants ) to infocube 0IC_C03 from BX , BF and UM .
I have compressed successfully BX request by removing the check mark for No market Update.
After that I started the Compression for the Request of BF by checking the NO Marker Update checkmark.
This job is running from last 8 hours .
System performance is Ok and there are no uploads going on.
The compression job is still active.
I tried to kill the job by taking the PID and from T code SM 50 but still I can see active job in SM37.
In Infocube also I can see the Running Compression job .
I could not understand why it is taking so much time to compress the BF data request even though there are very few records.
The BX compression completed within 5 minutes.
But why it is taking too much time for compression BF request ?
How to stop such a request which is active even after I kill the PID from SM50
Regards ,
Amol
Edited by: Amol Kulkarni on Apr 24, 2008 9:18 AM

I resolve this issue in this way ,
I noticed that in SM37 job is active even after killing it from SM50.
I wne to infocube Manage ...Collapse tab and then refresh it. So immdiately the job dissapers from Request Tab and when went to SM37 it become cancelled.

I have just bought a brand new iMac 27" with Snow Leopard but the MS office 2011 is running too slowly to even use...help!

I have litterally just bought my iMac with 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 so why is Word barely functioning?! I have more than enough free memory but Word is operating so slowly it takes a full minute for the cursor to stop spinning after selecting a section of the page to start typing in....it is utterly unusable in this state and I am very angry that this should even be an issue with a brand new iMac!
I would really appreciate any help or advice you have to offer.

Will not use up a license.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Lightroom 4 runs too slowly

I have spent weeks trawling forums now and implementing as much as I can from people's suggestions as to how to try and get Lightroom to run better.
As an example, alway leave the Details section til last, as it makes a significant impact on slowing Lightroom down.
I flush the cache before starting any work, I bought a new 1tb drive, and downloaded a brand new, up to date nVidia driver for my card.
I've spent some considerable time ensuring that all meta data has been written to xmp and none is outstanding, and all 1:1 previews have been rendered for every image in the catalog. Standard previews are set at their lowest level, and I have set all LR locations including the cache, catalog and preview locations as 'excluded" from MSE, which is the only anti-virus type program I run.
I have tried using process 2010, then changing to process 2012 when the work is complete and implementing the changes, the same problems occur. Using process 2010 in LR 4.3 does not seem to be any qucker than using process 2012.
I've been through all Windows services to see which ones I can turn off and which I can't. All those not necessary for the operation of the computer are turned off.
The cache has been set at everything from 10gig to 150 gig, that doesn't seem to have any effect but it is at present on 100 gig. I flush it regularly when working. I also have tried deleting history from each file I work on, although this doesn't seem to have any positive impact either.
Now, the issues.
When using Lightroom, there is a 'hang' or 'lag' of a fraction of a second before any command is carried out. So, if I zoom into full size, grab the small selection box from the view on the left to move it around my image, it is a half a second before it responds. Often on any task, the cursor doesn't change, as if there is still something going on.
If I click using the healing brush to get rid of dust bunnies, it is 1-3 seconds before it appears and is editable, then I can move onto another. When using the spot healing tool, after 2 -3 photos have been completed, each time I click on the image the 'target' for the tool appears, but it is in the top corner of a very large black square, which does not disappear for 3-5 seconds.
I can do an image with maybe 20 of those then it begins to get real slow. If I then use the sliders, it can be up to 4-6 seconds before they respond. During this period, at random times on the top bar of Lightroom I see the message "Lightroom not responding" flash on and off, sometimes for minutes before it clears. If I then go to export the file as a jpg, it can take as much as 3 minutes to export one full size image from a RAW file. During that whole period the processor is toiling away at 100% and LR is using the max amount of memory, which for some reason is only just over 700mb. (I will paste the system info from LR at the end of this.) Once this begins, LR pretty much thrashes away at 100% of processor power for many minutes even when doing nothing, and trying the slghtest thing starts it off again.
Once I've exported 3-4 images, everything slows down to the point it's really unusable. If I try to export an image at that point, I get a 'not enough memory' message. I can try 5-6 times to export and I always get the same message. My only option then is to shut LR down, and start it up again after a minute or so, flush the cache and start again. Obviously this is an unacceptable workflow.
So, I know that LR works fine for some people, so please don't say "It works for me", I know it does. It doesn't work for me though, and I am trying to establish why. If your car breaks down I don't point and say "It must be you cos I have the same car and mine is fine." What I would like is for anyone who has useful suggestions to help. Perhaps someone who it didn't work for and they solved the problem?

I think the "Available Memory" figure is pretty standard for a 32bit system, which is what I think the OP is running.
@howmanyetc: A couple of observations: the systems specs would seem to be not much higher than the minimum requirements for LR4, so blazing fast it ain't ever going to be. Also is the J drive the new external drive that you bought? If so I'm guessing that it may be USB2 connected? If so having the catalog on a "relatively slow" external drive is probably not the best idea from a performance perspective. The "red lining" of the CPU during exports is entirely likely, the processor is simply not sufficiently powerful to do the work quickly. As a comparison, exports which take maybe 3-4 seconds on my desktop would take upwards of 30 seconds on my old Thinkpad laptop (similar specs to yours) with both cores at 100% with no deviation (and that was back in LR3, so I can't imagine how slow it would be using LR4). The "getting real slow" after a while is more than likely due to your RAM limitations, especially on a 32 bit system.
I'm not saying that you should rush out and buy a brand new powerful system, though I do think you might struggle to make significant improvements given your specs. It sounds as though you are doing everything you can to improve things, however as I said, if the catalog is on a USB2 external drive, trying it back on an internal drive would be the first place that I would start. Having the images on the external is probably OK, your bottleneck for things such as Exports is CPU, not I/O.
Do you need to be writing XMP for all your files? Do you have the "Auto write XMP" setting enabled? If so, turning that off and using Ctrl+S to manually write the XMP at the end of a session may help a little.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

LR 3.5 is Really Running Too Slowly! Help

Hello,
I have been using LR for some time now, and I have loved using it in the past. Currently I have moved to Camera Raw to get my work done because LR takes entirely too long to load and process updates. I'm sure that I there is something that I must be missing, but I'm not sure what it is. I am working with a very large catelog. Do I need to use multiple smaller catelogs? That would seem to be a bit incoveinient, but I would like to take full advantage of the benifits of LR if I can just get it to respond faster. Please let me know what I am missing here. Thanks!
BBV

The first think you already said: you have a very large catalog.
Maybe it's not the Main reason, but could be...
What's your machine comfiguration?
Have experinced this same issue, with new or smaller catalogs?
Can you try and tell us?
Your images are storaged at the main HDD or in a separeated one?
One thing you can try is Optimizing and make a Integrity Check of your catalog.it can increase some performance.

This forum is running very slowly for me....

Hi,
I'm on a new 24" iMac and for the most part things have been running well. But starting yesterday, this forum started running very slow. Especially today, just clicking the link to this forum from my bookmark takes at least 2 minutes to go through.
When I click a link to go to this forum, the blue progress bar progresses one (1) inch and then stops for a long while. Finally if I wait, the link usually goes through.
I've browsed to other links around to make sure and it seems to be mostly this site. Sometimes other forums (The Parallels Forum) may run very slow as well.
Is this just the way it is with forums on the web or is this a real defect I'm experiencing ?
I know this question seems stupid, but I'm very curious as to what could be happening.
Many Thanks for any help on this, Frank B.

I concur with Kappy and Bee. I'm in San Jose and I've observed a distinct slowdown in the past few months. Nearly unbearable, such that I don't read them much these days.
The only thing worse than reading the forums on a Mac, is reading them over the Edge in Safari on the iPhone. Most of the time, the app times out before a forum page comes up .
Maybe they are doing some sort of upgrade in transition, just like the Apple Store in Valley Fair Mall (Santa Clara, CA). You'd have to see to believe the congestion they are dealing with there in their temporary 'boutique-shoe-store-sized' store -- could be < 800 sq ft) !!

With 3.6.10, on certain sites, screen and cursor freeze with warning: Macromedia 6 is running too slowly, do you want to cancel this script, but since the cursor is frozen, it is impossible to escape.

Many sites are producing this problem. I have to shut down the computer to get out of the site, and I have no idea why Macromedia would be running slowly, as I am not engaged in any media play at the time.

A space monitering script is running too slowly !! How can I make it faster

Hi. all.
The following db space monitering script is really taking too much time.
The script is from a certain db monitering solution.
It is running on a 30-minute regular basis, and one of top sqls from AWR reports.
As you know, "dba*" objects are not a physical table.
I would like to know how to figure out this performance issue..
The database is oracle 10.2.0.4 on a solars, and has about 110 tablespaces and 2300 data files.
The total size of the database is about 36 Tera size.
SELECT a.tablespace_name || ' ' || ROUND ( (a.used_bytes - NVL (b.recycle_bytes, 0)) / a.total_bytes * 100, 2) USAGE

WHERE tablespace_name != 'SYSTEM')
Any help from your experience and knowledge will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

My tablespaces are sized with approximately 2 months data growth is always free;
so I check them once a month to see if any need to be expanded more than previously allocated.

InDesign CC (2014) running very slowly

InDesign CC (2014) is running too slowly to use - it just crawls, with many seconds between a click and the response.
It is up to date and was running fine until yesterday afternoon. I can think of no reason for the sudden degradation. I'm running Windows 7. I have renamed the preference files and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign, to no effect. Any thoughts welcome.

I have renamed both Adobe folders and copied across the fresh folders from the second user account. I had to boot into Safe mode to do so, as processes were locking both folders.
However, despite that surgery, InDesign is still freezing after it starts. It appears to start normally and fires up quickly, but then immediately freezes. So if you have any other ideas, I'd be grateful to hear them.

IMac running very slowly

I have an iMac 27" running 10.9.4 which has been running exceedingly slowly for ages - I'm fed up with seeing the beach ball spinning. It has an Apple keyboard, magic mouse and trackpad connected via bluetooth. Under instruction from Apple chat support, I have created a new account and also started in safe mode but all to no avail - it just takes ages to move between apps and start new ones (sometimes up to 2 minutes with the icon bouncing like a good 'un).
I have also taken the machine into to an Apple shop genius bar where he discovered Spotlight had got into a loop and could not complete indexing. He sorted that out but after a few hours back home, the machine seems worse than ever and independent on whether I have the Mac HDD added or not in the Spotlight Privacy tab under System Preferences.
I have been tracking another similar post where Linc Davis has suggested pasting a long character string into Terminal and then asking that the output is pasted into the poster's discussion. Rather than butt into that thread, I thought I'd create a new one and hope Linc sees it. On that assumption, here is the output from the instructions previously provided.
I hope this leads somewhere......
Cheers

213JB, Thanks for response. Yes, this happens with another account (as requested to create by the Apple chat support) and also in safe mode.
I have done as you suggested (surprising how many different ways there are on the web for resetting home folder permissions) but the system continues to be slow.
I hope the info above will lead to someone spotting something untoward in what my machine is doing - or not doing.
Cheers

After automatic update of Firefox 3.6, it is now running VERY slowly!

After having Firefox automatically update itself on June 22, 2010, it is now running VERY slowly for me, and is taking a LONG time (10-15 minutes) to even open!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday,Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I installed 3.6.4 on XP June 23 and had much the same experience, except Firefox 3.6.4 never finished opening, even after nearly an hour, and brought my entire system to an excruciatingly slow crawl, even though pgm mgr showed FF getting 0% and system idle with 97-98. This happened twice with a reboot in between. Finally had to roll back to a previous restore point and all is fine now, except--no new version of Firefox. I'll wait to see more feedback about 3.6.4 before trying to install again.

Equium L10 - Is running very slowly

I have a Toshiba Equium L10 (496MB RAM, 1.5Ghz celeron M Processor, 37.2GB HDD)
It has been running very slowly for a while now and am getting really annoyed with it. It takes like 8 minis for the desktop to load plus a few more mins for the programs to load up. I am fairly ok with computers and things like registry editing etc to some extent.
Please could you help me out as i cannot afford to upgrade my laptop at the moment?
I have tried to uninstall as many of the unwanted programs on the computer and am left with a 23.7GB free hard disk.
It is a bit of an old laptop now but I am trying to get the most possible out of it at the moment so plase help me
Thank you

To be honest I dont know what you want at the moment.
Do you want to upgrade your notebook or you want to make Windows faster?
I dont know what programs you have installed but after you have removed all programs that you dont need you should clean your system using CCleaner.
Furthermore disable all start up programs that you dont need in msconfig and in the start up folder in start menu. Dont forget to defragment your HDD.
In worst case you have to reinstall Windows. Not all Windows problems can be solved without complete new installation.
Last but not least the Equium L10 can be upgraded to 1GB RAM. This can also help you to make Windows faster.
