Sandboxed apps perform poorly

Apps now sandboxed -- e.g., iPhoto and Mail -- perform very poorly compared to previously (Snow Leopard).  iPhoto for example takes 5-7 seconds at launch while the gear spins, and an equal amount of time at Quit. Mail always seems a couple of seconds behind my clicks.
Both apps were near instantaneous under Snow Leopard.
I assume this is due to being sandboxed into a container file.
Any suggestions to improve performance?

You could be running into memory problems -- at least, that's what it usually us when this sort of thing happens to me. I typically leave my machine on and logged in all the time, just letting it sleep when I haven't used it for a while. I also tend to leave Safari and Mail open at all times. I've noticed that sometimes, my machine will slow down, and at those times, Activity Monitor reports that there's no free memory. Safari is usually the culprit, hogging all available memory for itself. I imagine it must have some sort of memory leak, which means it is failing to properly release memory that it is no longer using, resulting in a constant escalation of memory usage. Quitting Safari and relaunching it fixes the problem.
Check Activity Monitor. If the pie chart has very little green, this is probably your problem. Sort the list by Virtual Memory, and you should see the culprit at the top. Right now, I see that Safari on my system is using up 1.27 GB of virtual memory, leaving me with a teeny wedge of green on the pie. Guess it's about time for me to quit Safari!

  • InDesign CC is performing poorly, slowly when working with text.

    InDesign CC is performing poorly, slowly when working with text. I tried updating and it seems like everything installed except for Extension Manager 6.0.7 which failed to instal. Any fix for this?

    Thanks, I think the problem is solved. Previously, the CC Extension Manager failed to install when I did an update via the InDesign Help menu. InDesign CC updated successfully, however, InDesign was still acting wonky. Since downloading a new full CC Extension Manager a little while ago, InDesign seems to be working better. Is there a correlation between the two apps for future reference?

  • Generate keystrokes in a Sandboxed app

    I would like to know how to generate keystrokes in a Sandboxed app? I am currently using CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent and CGEventPost, but Sandboxing is disabling such feature.
    Why do I need this?
    I have an app that detects human gestures using a depth camera, and I want to translate these gestures into keystrokes, so that I control other apps. For example, I simulate a "spacebar" keystroke to play/pause QuickTime.
    Just for info
    Product name: Gestoos

    Thanks!

    Once you say "control other apps" you are out of the sandbox and the Mac App Store.

  • App performance influenced by hardware power?

    Is flash app performance in anyway influenced by the hardware of the device?the ipad3 is coming out in few days and i was wondering if apps that used to run bad on ipad2/iphone4 are going to run good on the new ipad.Iphone 4S was at least twice as fast as iphone 4 did this mean twice the perfomance?15 fps becomes 30?this is the standard rule of PC'S,if u double the power of your harwarde your fps doubles also,as simple as that.Is it like this in the mobile world also?If so this means in 2,3 years we should be able to run any flash app flawlessly on any device.

    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=20298
    yup on 7 march they will release ipad 3. it will suport 2000xresolution meaning more pixels.More pixels = less performance,even if it will have more power it will need it to render this high resolution.Curious if old apps will run better.

  • Launching xcodebuild from within my sandboxed app fails

    I need to call xcodebuild within my sandboxed app.
    My app generates objc files and projects, and I would like to compile it using xcodebuild - like in the past.
    But the new required sandboxing, refuses to launch xcodebuild from within my app. I tried the "temporary file access read/write" to set to root ("/") and other solutions, but it still won't work. lsboxd tells "refusing to spawn" reason -10811
    Is there any solution or chance to solve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards, Bernd

    Why? Apple will reject an app the depends on the presence of Xcode to run. You would have to write a non-sandboxed extension or plug-in to run xcodebuild.

  • HT1515 I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
    It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
    Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
    This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
    You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better

  • App-V - "Excel & ESSBase Plugin" perform poorly

    Hi,
    using App-V 5.0 sp3 client for RDS 2012 R2.
    *Excel 2007 & ESSBase Add-in sequenced into a connection Group
    *Standalone Mode/ Normal mode so no streaming server 
    *The App-V client UI (or PoSh commandlet) is showing package is fully loaded in local cache
    *when I run Excel v-App, Excel Plugin "ESSBase" is registered fine
      I can open large .xls files with no issue
    The performance issue escalated by a user is when loading a .xlsm calc sheet
    and starting a data retrieval from ESSBase database server
    - the operation takes around 2min 50
    - compared to a "native setup" where Excel & ESSBase are installed locally, the same operation takes 30 seconds
    TCPView.exe shows that starting the action throws tons of new network connections to the ESSBase database server
    Procmon.exe filtered on Excel.exe shows :
    - that compared to a native install, the App-V setup has tons more result="Path Not Found" or "Name Not Found" 
    TaskMgr shows that on the App-V setup, Excel.exe enters "Not Responding" time window many times during data retrieval
    => on Native setup, Excel.exe don't enter "Not Responding" status
    The tests were made on two identical RDS Session Host 2012 r2 VMs, 4 GB, AMD Quad Core, 1Gb Ethernet
    with as single load the Excel test
    => I would be surprised if this is a ressource bottleneck - Excel.exe uses max 90 Mo.
    I'll do benchmark tests using dummy network traffic tests using
    measure-command powershell commandlet
    from Inside App-V bubble & compare it to the results from outside the App-V bubble.
    while I'm sure this shoundn't be a App-V limitation in itself, to be honest not knowing what to optimize
    is frustrating.
    Any help would be welcome,
    Thanks.
    MCTS Windows Server Virtualization, Configuration

    Fixed !
    now the App-V app (Excel & ESSBase plugin) data load from the database server
    has simply the same performance as in the Native Installation Environment or is even a bit faster...
    The ‘guilty’ was : “COM Mode” setting witch was set up on the App-V package’s dynamic configuration
    XML file as in
    Isolated Mode witch according to App-V: On COM Isolation and Interaction
    meant that it is being Virtualized
    On – w/ GUID Spoofing
    I deleted the App-V package & set that bit of code inside of the XML like below then
     tested again – the result is now satisfying !
    <COM
    Mode="Off"><integratedcomattributes
    inprocessenabled="false" outofprocessenabled="true"><IntegratedCOMAttributes
    InProcessEnabled="false"
    OutOfProcessEnabled="true"/>
    </integratedcomattributes></COM>
    I watched the below TechEd North America Event
    Project Virtual Reality Check: Microsoft App-V 5.0 Performance, Tuning, and Optimization (App-V PTO)
    it is briefly said that to troubleshoot execution performance issues,
    - check unnecessary Extention Points wich could slow execution
    - double check COM Mode setting as it could also horribly slow the App-V App user experience
    See also the section Writing directly to Excel
    where The scripting Guys explain two methods
    & how COM is known to be horribly slow …
    sample powershell code snippets from
    PowerShell and Excel: Fast, Safe, and Reliable
    to inject cells & generate and Excel file…
    This was not easy to find as the majority of the documentation around ‘performance tweaks’ for App-V was leading to the Streaming or Package Publishing process optimization wich was not my case – I was more interested
    about optimizing a process started during the package’s execution when it was already fully cached locally.
    Thanks.

  • Color managed apps have poor blue performance

    Hi. I'm having trouble with calibrated displays on multiple macs. In all cases saturated blues look very purple. The easiest way to see it is by looking at the highlight in the system menu which should be blue and instead is purple. Other ways to see it include opening a color bar graphic in both Safari and firefox. One will be blue and the other purple.
    Here's the setup:
    Both macs are running Snow leopard 10.6.2
    both macs were upgraded in place from leopard
    colorimeter used is i1 display 2 with iMatch 3.6.3, white point was set to native and gamma to 2.2, used the notebook and LCD modes.
    one machine is a 24" iMac
    one is a 15" MBP with an external up LCD (both displays have the problem)
    I have verified that the contrast setting in the system preferences is set to normal.
    I'd appreciate any guidance. I've heard of others with similar sounding problems, but never an answer. I'm trying to decide I'd I should send the calibrator back.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a Spyder2Express a couple years ago to calibrate my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.x. When I was running OS 10.5.x up through 10.6.2, Spyder turned the blue color bars in iCal to purple at all times (even though the blue text in iCal stayed blue). I recently upgraded to OS 10.6.3. After the upgrade, iCal blue colors looked as though they should be. Then I ran Spyder2Express, and now the blue color bars in iCal are back to purple at all times. I saw a similar problem posted here a year and a half ago:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1780020
    I guess not much has changed. Considering the variety of colorimeters getting an unwanted blue-purple translations, I assume it has to do with Apple and not the calibrators.

  • Restoring minimized swing app performance

    Holla,
    i am writing a swing application and there is a performance problem
    waking up the app: i mimimize the application (send it to the WIndows taskbar) then i
    start other 'large' programs like word, my email client, or the IDE. when i maximize
    the application now, it needs about 5-15 secounds to paint and 'come to live again'.
    during this period of time the frame stays gray. this is poor response time..
    I've seen other swing applications doing similar things. Netbeans for example.
    Does anybody know the reason for this behaviour?
    -mike

    This question is even more confusing then the one you asked before. Do you understand how PHP works because your question appears to have nothing to do with PHP whatsoever... unless you are confused which appears to be the case.
    Could you describe the flow of your application a little please? That might be helpful. Like your user does X then Y happens etc. Rather than configure the PHP script which makes no real sense at all... because that sounds like a script editor which is fine in and of itself but is not related to a question about browsers Java or otherwise.
    If you don't like this answer than I will say this. Yes it is possible in Java but not on alternate Tuesdays and as always, beware the classpath.
    Good luck.

  • New ipad mini with retina display 128gb performance poor

    i just bought my new ipad mini with retina display 128gb, but i after i tried to run in for some apps, i found out the performance is very poor, and i just wondering izzit im the only one who had this problem which i get the lousy ipad mini or every one else who bought the ipad mini 2 got this problem?? My game apps list like below. the game will lag 1 second sometimes: anomaly 1, anomaly korea, minigore 2. And when i run anomaly 2, it's lag like the old device >_< (p/s when i run anomaly 2 on my ipad 2, it run smooth than my ipad mini 2 ) so izzit other got the problem like me?

    Well I don't think is the app problem, since yesterday I already called my country apple customer centre, they told me to reset all setting for my device, the problem is then solve, my anomaly 2 not even lag anymore, and they call me observe 24 hours see how the device work. At first the device work well and no lag anymore for my other game and anomaly 2 too, but after a night, this morning when I wake up, the problem is occurring again, my anomaly 2 is lag as before >_< so I make a call and they call me to restore factory setting, then after restore, the problem solve again , but still I had to observe few more days, if same thing happen again, then they will call me send back my ipad to give them double check and if the device got problem , they promised me will exchange the new one for me ~ will keep update see how after a few day~

  • Partner App Performance

    We've registered our major Java application as a partner to the Login Server. The partner applications server cluster receives thousands of logins every day. I've noticed that after the partner activates the login cookie, it still goes back to the SSO SDK to "unbake" the application cookie with each request.
    Are folks out there storing the decrypted user information with the session to prevent decrypting the cookie with each call? Is it fine (and more secure) to just let the system decrypt each time, or is this a potential area for peformance improvement? Unbaking the app cookie takes about 134 millis for us.
