Safari on my new iMac 27" running 10.6.3 suddenly EXTREMELY slow.

Hi is anyone having a similar problem, suddenly my Safari browser has completely ground to a half. I tried installing Chrome on my Mac to see if it is a Safari problem and Chrome is just as slow.
I am running a Windows 7 and a Linux machine on my home network as well and they run perfectly via the same Wireless router and ISP.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Several things to try...
One, login to another user account, launch Safari. If it lags there then it's a system wide issue, not just isolated to your Home Folder.
Next, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Reset. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Relaunch Safari. See if that speeds things up.
If that doesn't make a difference, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If the issue it's third party plugins, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
If you have anti-virus software installed (for Mac), that could be a factor.
If you didn't repair disk permissions after the update, do that as soon as you can.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

I have a new IMAC 5k running Yosemite and when I log in I am asked a whole series of questions as to what keychain can access. How can I authorise all of these to be available upon login? Items concerned are such as "Talagent", "Messages agent" etc

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

How do I move Elements 11 photos and catalogue from iMac to new iMac both running Yosemite?

I've been researching best way to move my photos and catalogue from my current iMac to my new iMac. I'm using Elements 11. Both iMacs running Yosemite. I know I need to deactivate the current computer's version of Elements if putting it on the new one runs me over the license limit - I don't think it will. I have read enough to be pretty sure I have to NOT migrate the Elements 11 program to the new iMac because it won't work properly - I'll have to reinstall it from my installation disc on the new iMac. So far, so good.
Now, I want the easiest way to get the photos on the new iMac, in the same folders, and preserve the catalogue and my current ratings on the photos. I am unclear on how the catalogue works with its backup and restore function. Should I move all my photos in their folders in exactly the same locations on my new iMac before installing Elements and trying to restore the catalogue? I read about the ways to restore the catalogue and I am unsure about whether it just looks for the pictures in the places it expects to find them (which will be the same if I copy everything on to the new iMac first), or whether it restores the pictures where it thinks they should be (in which case I should NOT put the pictures on the new iMac before restoring the catalogue or I'll end up duplicating everything). Also I have read - and been confused by - the options about restoring catalogue in new location, old location, etc. I don't want my folders changed. I have my pictures stored where I want them and I want to keep them there - and I'd prefer not to add some extra layer under the basic My Pictures on my iMac.
I have stored the most recent version of the catalogue, with all photos reconnected, on an external drive. All the pictures in the catalogue have their meta-data associated with them. I hope that this will allow me to preserve ratings. Going through thousands of pictures to find the really good ones again is a time-consuming mess. When I went from Windows to Mac 3 years ago - I lost the catalogue and all ratings. When I upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 11, I lost the catalogue and all ratings. I do NOT want to ever go through that again.

I appreciate your answer and agree that it is correct, but you told me nothing I did not know. There is an Elements technical paper which says this in much greater detail, but still does not answer the questions I was trying to ask.
The catalogue file seems much too small to include my thousands of photos. Are you telling me that it has magically reduced the size of all those photos - from 64 GB to 33 GB, and added the catalogue information - so that the photos will just appear out of nothing but that smaller catalogue file when I restore catalogue? If so, will you explain the options of same location, new location, new location with existing file structure, etc?
I understand installing the program. I understand that I should backup the catalogue (I've done it). I understand I will use restore to restore the catalogue. I found all this on other sites. I need someone, somewhere, to explain to me if I need to copy the photos themselves to their new location before I restore catalogue - or not. And which option in restore to use. I thought I explained this in my original question. Any help on these questions about matters I do not understand will be appreciated.

How to transfer Painter 12 with my custom brushes from old iMac to a new iMac both running Mavericks

Hi,
I just purchased a new iMac. Have Painter 12 on my older iMac and want to be able to transfer Painter 12, with my custom brushes to my new iMac. Tried Airdrop but got a message that it was damaged and that I should trash it. Does any know how to get Painter 12 with all my custom brushes to my new machine? Both are running Mavericks.
Thank you,
Jim

etresoft,
Thank you for your response. I did try to use Migration Assistant and I got as far as the two machines trying to communicate with each other. So I guess the answer to your question would be I tried, I failed and it worked until a certain point. I understand that there are other ways to connect the machines, I would have to see if I have the proper cables to do so. Airdrop did get data to my new machine and that tells me that they do see each other on the network. I do not know why they did not see each other via Migration Assistant. I assume that I could go to Corel's site and download Painter 12 to my new machine, ( my new machine does not have a disk drive ), but I will not have my custom brushes etc. and would have to totally make them up in the fresh install version and I am trying to avoid that.
You are probably correct in saying that Painter 12 probably needs a full reinstallation to work properly. Am I to assume that Migration Assistant will do a full reinstallation, including my custom brushes? I guess I am a little confused here.

Can I install OS9 on a Brand new iMac to run Photoshop 6.0.1?

Hi there;
Today I purchased a brand new iMac. I have been installing my old applications and found that I cannot install Photoshop 6.0.1. The following is the message shown:
"You cannot open the application "Install Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1" because it is not supported on this system"
My old iMac is a G3 and runs on a Panther. Can I install Mac OS 9 on this new Mac so that I can install Photoshop 6.0.1? If yes, how can I do it?
Regards.

Hi KP4ABC;
Since the official position of Adobe is that they are no longer supporting PS 7 at all, I would think your chances with PS 6 are right up there with the snowball in that hot place. In order to get anything that works with any reliability you will have to upgrade, probably to PS CS3.
I have to say that PS CS3 is a significant upgrade over PS 7 which is as far back as I go with Photoshop.

Can I get my new iMac to run ancient applications?

I just bought a new iMac (OS 10.5.2), which doesn't support older "Classic 9" apps that ran fine on my eMac (OS 10.3.9).
Is there any sort of download that might make these older applications functional?
Thanks,
Carl

There are some options. First is SheepShaver, and the second is Mini vMac Full Edition. Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

My new iMac 27 i7 quad core (early 2011) is slower than the iMac 21 core duo 3,06 ghz (late 2009).

hello i've just bouth my new imac 27" ( spring 2011) with quad core i7 3,4ghz 4gb ram and 2gb ati radeon graphics..
I've proceded with the migration assistent and just copied my old configurations, programs and datas from the old one ( imac late 2009 27" 8gb ram intel core duo 3,06 ghz, 256mb ati radeon graphics) to the new one...now they are twins with boot lion 10,7,2..what i've just discovered? that the old one is a litttle faster than the new one.
photoshop is opening faster
and more or less all the adobe suite..
is that a joke? how is that possible? i can think that the issue is all about the RAM (4gb new imac, 8gb old imac)..
could someone help me please?
thankyou.
Andre

As far as I am aware iMacs do not have upgradeable CPUs.

My iMac with Comcast is suddenly extremely slow

Suddenly my imac with comcast internet with apple airport is extremly slow.
This sort of came out of the blue.
I have called Comcast and they said everything on their end seems to check out fine.
Going a bit nuts here. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Anything I should test?

Installed Itunes on new computer and transferring songs to playlist is extremely slow

New computer purchased, running Windows 7, and after installing Itunes it takes forever to transfer music to playlists. It takes about 1-2 minutes to tranfer the song to the playlist.
I downloaded Itunes the first time and lost the dialog box to finish installing so I downloaded again and installed. Music is on an external hard drive connected via an USB port.
What can I do to speed up the transfer process?
Thanks

This is driving me insane!

New iMac 27" runs loud

I guess loud is an overstatement, but it certainly seems as if the fan or something is running at an audible level that I haven't heard before. The only thing running right now is Firefox and Safari. The machine doesn't appear to be hot in any way. Any suggestions?

If your in a quiet room and at night you definitly would here some of the moviving parts like the fan, or the hardrive spinning. But during the day where the noise of the cars in the streets or even outdoor noise would leak in your room, it should be less obvious,

Safari on my new iMac 27" running 10.6.3 suddenly EXTREMELY slow.
