Scrolling is really laggy and slow

For a week or so I've noticed that my scrolling is really slow and laggy on some sites. A site most often visited that makes my scrolling really slow is youtube. Has anyone found a solution to fix this? Was it maybe due to an update?

Hello everyone!
User Hakaitz of the Apple Support Communities has worked out a solution, that has helped me getting my old Mac performance back. It involves installing the graphics drivers from Snow Leopard in Lion.
This performance bug really annoyed me to no ends... Here's what user Hakaitz says in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3198002?start=45&tstart=0:
There is a fix for this problem.
I just load with kext helper, the Snow Leopard Kexts from version 10.6.2 for the Radeon.
End of stutters on laggy animations on any version of lion. Works on 7.1 and 8.1 imacs (at least).
Here the fix:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=11INQM1D
How to use ONLY RADEON 2600 USERS:
execute kext helper
drag and drop this files ONLY:
ATIFramebuffer.kext
ATISupport.kext
ATI2600Controller.kext
put your admin password and click on "easy install". I tooks a while to do the work. When finished, reboot (the kext helper aaaaalways hangs, its normal.
After that reboot your computer wont stutter anymore.
Hope it helps!

My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

Hi..
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
And disabling the resume feature can help.

Xperia z gone really laggy and slow suddenly

Hi, ive been using my xperia z with kitkat for a while now and suddenly its become very slow and laggy. Even after complete reset twice, its still the same. As im typing this on the xperia z. The letters come on screen a second after i type. Thia happens in every app i use. Scrolling gone laggy as well.
Another thing i noticed is when i watch a youtube video which has been embedded in artical for example some articles on feedly. Video has gone laggy there as well, i have to put it to full screen for it to play smoothly. It was perfectly fine before.
In conclusion, tbe whole phone has gone slow and laggy and even a factory reset doesnt fix it. What cN i do?

Hello, I'm having the same problem. It's laggy, and booting takes a while, when my phone has booted it gives a black screen for 2 mins. or something like that, when I boot to safe mode I still have the problems, it's a little less than when not booting to safe mode but it's still slow and laggy even though I just did a clean install using Flashtool and XperiFirm. EDIT: I did a clean install using XperiFirm and Flashtool a couple of weeks ago, everything was fine, until last night. From one moment to another my phone was laggy, slow, and the apps crashed and took hours to open, if they did. Tried the same fresh install this morning, it's a little less laggy, but it's still laggy with the factory set apps. Before I did the fresh install I had my phone charged to 100% of battery, 6 hours later, the battery was at 37% even though I haven't used it at all.

Program is really laggy and horrible

For some strange reason, when I tried to add some more
functions to my code, the program became really laggy and things
such as the shadows started to have horrible quality. Aside from
that, the screen does not clear the old lines from the screen, so
it keeps making an "array" of lines, if you will. Not exactly sure
what's wrong; I've looked through the code several times and am
stumped. I need your help! Thanks so much in advance.

Well, I'm not sure what exactly I added to make it do this,
but what I've discovered is that when the problem occurs, and I
"undo" to the last stable compiling, the error still occurs. I have
to close Flash and reopen the file to make it go away. But if I've
saved, I have to make a brand new file (basically by copying the
library and Actionscript over, thus "cloning" the file). Not sure
what this could all mean.

Laggy and Slow Performance

We are an architectural company, and we use photoshop to create masterplanning, arhitectural, landscape plans. So keep in mind that theres a bunch of layers with drop shadow, textures, bevel & emboss etc in it.
We recently upgraded to CS6, our PC's are installed with Windows 7 64-bit, 16 Gb or RAM, 1 Gb NVIDIA Quadro 2000D Graphics cards.
As Graphics Support, I make sure that updates, fixes are installed and all that stuff. But still, we experience some laggy and slow performance from Photoshop. The file is 660 MB, and is set to 150 Resolution. Takes a while to open, I can understand that it might be reading all those details, but once opened you wont get a realtime response from Photoshop. This happend before but was able to fix with the update that Adobe had released.
With our PC build, I cant find any reason why would still we get this kind of performance.
Please let me know if you have some solution to this.
Thanks.

CUDA is (and always will be) NVIDIA Proprietary.
Apple has made a strong commitment to OpenCL (not to be confused with OpenGL) to harness the power of every manufacturer's GPU. OpenCL will work with NVIDIA/CUDA or AMD cards.
Adobe has committed to OpenCL for the newest versions of their Premiere PRO CC software.
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2013/06/adobe-premiere-pro-cc-and-gpu-support .html
In my opinion it is only a matter of time before most production software supports OpenCL.
Gaming, on the other hand, may not feel that same pressure. Those guys tend to do what they want.
Any thoughts on how dramatically a second display would affect performance?
A second display does not seem to affect these cards in any sort of perceptible way.

Firefox has a delayed response time and is laggy and slow. It has a delayed response time.

I typically have 3-4 windows open (use a compaq laptop and windows 7) and there is a "freeze" before firefox responds and it's laggy and slow.

Have you disabled hardware acceleration?
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Can anyone help with my 2010 mbp running slow i.e. games are very laggy and slow to open apps

i have a 2010 mbp and i cant run games that i was able to run flawlessly a couple months ago im not sure if iv done somethin to cause this issue i really only use my comp to watch movies and videos nothin that i would think would slow it the way it has if someone could give me some advise as to how to get it running 100% again it would be much appreciated

Use this as a trouble shooting guide:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
Check the status of your HDD. Open DisK Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair. Also is the HDD full? Often that is a problem.
Try a Safe Boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Often third party applications have a negative affect on performance. Performance or cleaning apps as well as anti-virus apps are often the culprit and should be deleted.
Ciao.
You might also open Activity Monitor and examine if additional RAM might be useful.
Note that Macs are not good gaming machines.

AirPlay Mirroring via ATV3 really laggy and awful sound

Hey all,
I'm a bit frustrated, I got the new MacBookPro 15" retina (i7 2,6 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM) and also bought the new AirPort Extreme and an Apple TV 3 gen.
Now all 3 devices are in the same room few meters away from each another (no thick walls, no microwaves, nothing i can think of that can interfere).
5Ghz N network enabled and the MacBookPro and the ATV are on it, while the iPhones (mine and my wife's) and her white MacBook (+ a 1st gen Time Capsule 1Tb running as a network extension in another room) are on the 2,4 Ghz network (Just connected nothing is downloading, back-uping or anything). I have all other applications except the video player (VLC) quit and yet i cannot watch anything because of the massive lag.
Tried different video formats (encodings) and video files resolution but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Tried restarting the Airport station, the ATV and my MacMookPro and it didn't help. There are few seconds now and then when it doesn't lag but then the audio really gets bad.
All firmware and OSs are fully updated. ATV3 is not jailbreaken. All used applications are final versions.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Alex
P.S.
Sometimes the connection between the MacBookPro and the ATV just drops and I have to wait untill they reconnect and then restart AirPlay Mirroring before I can continue watching. I have the feeling this might be part of the same problem whatever it is.

Thanks for the suggestions, but...
Apple TV is, as advertised by Apple, to be fully capable of streaming full HD ( 1080 p) over an N standard wifi network. I'm aware of more than 1 set-ups (including my brother's home) where the ATV is set in absolutelly the same conditions (even with the same hardware) and works just fine.
Are you suggesting the AirPort Extreme Base Station is "low to mid grade wifi hardware"? What would you substitute it with?
All devices described (except the iPhones) are on the 5Ghz network. Swithing them (all, including the ATV) to 2,4 Ghz changes nothing.
Well, the TV set is in a location in the room that I can't easily set a UTP cable to (where it is not visible), AND I hate cables. If I wanted a cable I'd use an HDMI to connect the MacBookPro to the TV directlly, which will defeat most of the purpose of having the ATV.
Apple made this quite awkward. I would love to run all my videos with only one player (especially airplay enabled one like iTunes), but unfortunatelly I can't. I have to convert them all to iTunes format first which is pain in the *** and I'm just not going to do it, and no one else is doing it either, btw. That's why I'm using VLC (being imho one amazing video player) that would just play anything you drop on it.
So, any other ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu. Select the Bios option ( f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.

Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing this? It is a huge issue as I use this a lot during the day.
Is there anytime line for a fix if that has been noticed? Also is there a way to roll back my upgrade?
Thanks

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Since I installed IOS 8.0.2 (was ok on IOS7),on my iPad 4 "photos" don't scroll properly, it freezes and staggers, it's really slow to scroll to the bottom of the page (in Album, Events From My IMac) it's very annoying!

I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

Reader scrolling is laggy and choppy

Reader scrolling is laggy and choppy in Mac (OS 10.7.5) to the point it is so slow and unpleasant that I avoid it at all costs. How can I fix this?
Preview refuses to search many pdfs; so I keep both apps open -- Preview to read, Adobe to search. It's very slow and unproductive.
I see an earlier post (2011) that mentions a possible contlict with an app called RightZoom, which I don't have; nor do I understand the solution posted for people without RightZoom (how do I log into a program I haven't installed?).
I'm not a techinical person, so need a clearly explained solution, if there is one. Thank you.

Odd. I know for a fact that RightZoom will have no effect on this, since it is only a UI mod for maximizing windows with the green button. Besides, you don't have it installed.
There's an app called "AppZapper". It completely removes an app and all associated files (preferences, plugins and .plist files)
Download it, Install it, and open it.
Drag the Reader app to the window and "Zap it".
Empty your trash and then download and reinstall the offline installer.
Then open a PDF the was lagging. Let me know if it persists.
