Scrolling suddenly very slow
Good evening,
I'm having trouble with my up and down arrows for scrolling through anything, websites, PDFs etc...I can swear it was fine just a few minutes ago before I was playing around with the settings, but I can't seem to find anything that has anything to do with this feature so I can turn it back. I know I can use the trackpad to scroll, but I like having my up and down arrows since I don't have the page up/down keys on my Macbook Pro...
Any ideas would do, its starting to bug me!
Thanks
I just completely uninstalled the browser with the box marked including my personal settings checked and then reinstalled. It seems to be okay now. I'm guessing it was one of the plug-ins I recently installed. Problem is, I have no idea which one.

Today, WebDav became suddenly very slow on my iMac running the latest version of Mavericks. Yesterday everything was OK.
When I try WebDav from my iPad things are OK, so I suspect something is wrong on my iMac. I already tried rebooting and resetting PRAM and VRAM.
Does anyone have a good suggestion?Hello,
Check to see how much free disk space there is. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Check the hard disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.

Mac Book Pro suddenly very slow
MacBook Pro suddenly very slow despite good wifi connection. Should I be scanning for virus? and if so, which product?
Scanning for a virus will be a waste of time. To date there are no know virus' affecting Macs.

My Apple TV is suddenly very slow
I am going to have to use laymen terms here. I purchased my Apple TV a year ago and have been using it successful since. About two weeks ago it suddenly began streaming very slowly and has maintained a very slow rate of transfer between my computer (Windows XP) and the Apple TV. To be frank I cannot use it without frustration. I tried upgrading to 2.0 but it did not help. So I did a factory reset which only put it back on 1.1 ; but the performance is still painful. I have made no changes to my router (ADSL) or my computer that is running iTunes. I have three other laptops that are running on the wireless laptop and they are running fast and fine.
Can anyone help?davidwh1,
I may have misread your original post... but I interpreted your message to say that you have your information on a laptop, and that the laptop and AppleTV are both connected wirelessly to your router. And if that is the case you can connect your laptop directly to your AppleTV for testing purposes. However, if your iTunes is on your desktop PC, perhaps you could try to sync one of your laptops (if you have iTunes on it) to your AppleTV in order to rule out that it is a connection issue. Sorry if I misread your post and I wish you good luck.

JDeveloper IDE suddenly very slow for past two days
Hi All,
I have Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 for more than a month now. Suddenly the JDeveloper IDE has become very slow. It is very annoying having to wait for the code changes to show across and windows take long to get in sync. I have 3.25 GB RAM running on XP service pack 3. Also, I scanned my machine for likely virus, but has come clean. It is only with Jdeveloper I am having problems. All other applications are running fine. I even tried just running JDeveloper alone. No luck.
ThanksSuddenly the JDeveloper IDE has become very slowSeems like something changed.
Did you install any new extensions? When is it "slow?" Is it when doing a specific activity, or just overall "slow?" What does your OS show (is JDev using lots of CPU, for example)? Have you tried making a backup of your "system11.1.1.4.37.59.23" folder (numbers may be different depending on version) and then deleting it so that JDev recreates it for you (you'll lose all of your preferences/settings)?

Hi All,
A couple of days ago, my aluminum macbook suddenly slowed to a crawl. Lots of beach balls, or just freezes with no indication as to why. In addition, certain applications (iTunes, Disk Utility,...) would crash, with crash reporter giving a KERNINVALIDADDRESS error code. I also ran into an error message in Terminal that the dylib shared cache was corrupted, and I wasn't able to rebuild it. I reinstalled OS X, which fixed the dylib and crashing issues, but the computer is still very slow. I've run memtester to investigate whether the RAM is faulty, but didn't find any problems. Disk Utility didn't find any problems with my HD either. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!HI,
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
And help here for the The Spinning Beach Ball of Death

All of a sudden my mac started running very slow.
first i opened activity-monitor to see what was wrong. I didnt see any unusual ram-usage. But the kernel_task had a CPU-time of 32 000. I cant seem to find any other explenation for why this is happening.
when i try to use my computer pretty much every task takes ages. Everything from doing stuff on the internet to browsing around in finder. Im also having trouble starting up my computer, i have to hold in the power button very long for it to respond. It also turns itself of without any reason.
Whats weird though is that my computer still manages to run movies in VLC smoothly.

Suddenly VERY Slow Internet On Macbook Pro
My MacBook Pro is less than a year old, running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. A few days ago, the internet suddenly became very, VERY slow. My computer says it is receiving a full signal, and my girlfriend's computer (a Dell, I might add) is on the same wireless network and is working great. I have tried everything suggested to me when searching for the problem online: I've reset my router and modem (but again, my girlfriend's computer is working well on the very same connection and my MacBook claims to be getting a full signal), checked for software updates, emptied Safari's cache, reset Safari, disabled plug-ins, tried Chrome and Firefox (the problem persisted), scanned for a DNS changer and viruses/spyware (the scan came up clean), added open DNS servers, reset my TRAM, repeaired disk permissions and have restarted throughout this process. I cannot trace this changed internet speed to anything - I have no idea what has caused it or how to fix it. Please help!
Hi...
Try Starting up in Safe Mode
That deletes system caches that may help. 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 corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
If that didn't help, try uninstalling Sophos > http://help.bol.ucla.edu/app/answers/detail/a_id/879
Then try your browsers. It could be the security software that's slowing your browsers down.
If that helps, you could try a different anti virus software such as ClamXav. It's free and Lion v10.7 compatible. -
Hi. Basically, my export has gone very slow. I will give what details I can, but the main thing here is that I am doing what I have always done, but suddenly it is going very slow. I export to MPEG2 DVD as that goes straight onto a DVD without further render in my Sony DVD maker program. Export in Premiere usually takes between 30 and 40 minutes. Latyest project is warning me of over 3 hours! I thought I would ask here before waiting and seeing if it still works okay in case there is an obvious answer. MPEG audio, multiplexer on, maximum mrender depth, CBR slider set to make a file that will be as large to preserve quality and still fit on a DVD (I go for around 4GB or just over) Stick to CBR as the estimated file size is more accurate than messing about with VBR sliders. Projects are standard definition, two video sources mixed (full DV) and separate sound source added and synchronised. I film stage plays with two cameras. Projects typically between one and a half and two and a half hours long. This project is actually at the lower end. No other obvious problems with the PC in general. Is it worth a system restore? It was fine for a project similar size rendered last week. I am asking befoire i try system restore as they are getting hard to do. They never seem to work unless I remove all my virus protection stuff! CAn I think of anything different about this project? Well, only that the venue I was filming in was not quite level, resulting in a bit of an angle that I corrected by tilting the film just a few degrees. (Only affecting the part of the picture that would be off the TV screen) just to make the stage look level. I often do this with a few shots from one of the cameras, but maybe not the whole film for both cameras like in this case. I even tried pressing enter and doing that render thingy before export. That did not help. Maybe that is just to get something better in the preview window. Normally it just takes around half an hour or just over. Media player can be a bit crackly and choppy playing the rendered movie, but then it is always fine on the DVD so I just put that down to windows media playing being a bit rubbish and not important in my case. Sorry if I have neglected to tell you anything important. I usually get told off for this on this forum, but I have tried to give you details about the settings I am using. The main thing is that I am only doing what I usually do. If I was exporting to a different format I might expect a different time. I can tell you that I got bored waiting and cancelled a few times before coming on here. A couple of times the screen went very white and said windows would close the problemn and notify me of any solution. Program closed but no useful information (I would not really have expected Windows to give me any!). Maybe someone here can? I suppose I had better wait for the three hours or more and at least see what comes out, but cant help being scared it will freeze at 37.34 percent and I will give up after waiting three weeks! But any suggestions would be helpful. Sorry not very tech-savvy so please keep it to plain English. Thanks in advance
Without knowing your computer specs, hard to comment on how long an export ought to take. However, you said yourself that you may have applied rotation to much of the video, and perhaps that is slowing things down from normal.
Please check that your hard drives are defragged and are not getting more than 70-80% full as performance can quickly degrade. I would turn OFF the "Max Bit Depth" and "Max Render Quality" if being used. Should not be needed for DV clips going to DVD. As for pre-rendering the timeline, not recommended. This just adds another layer of compression (quality loss) to the final render, IF you check "Use Previews" in the Export area. If not using Previews, then it is all getting re-rendered anyways, so just a waste of time and drive space really, unless playback is so terrible that you want to render a section to check the results before exporting.
I notice you have MultiPlexing ON for the export - is that how the Sony DVD software wants it? Most authoring programs (like Encore) perform better with separate elements of audio and video, meaning the .wav and .m2v files. Reason being that the DVD program will usually be creating Dolby (AC3) audio for the final DVD, so if you feed it the raw elements, it can convert the .wav to .ac3 quickly, and will NOT need to transcode the video. If you Mux (combine) the audio and video, the audio has then been compressed to lossy MPEG audio, then the DVD software needs to separate the audio and video and re-encode them again in most cases. Not the best workflow. Unless your final DVD uses MPEG audio, but I'm not sure that is a legal part of the spec worldwide, is normally PCM or AC3 for player compatibility.
Not a big fan of anti-virus programs, have found many of the popular ones to really take over and bog down the system. Personally, I use and recommend the free solution of Microsoft Security Essentials. My computer, and those of my kids, have been virus-free the last couple of years since going to that solution, and I see no decrrease in performance and it runs in the background totally transparent to me.

Jeff Pulera

Suddenly my MacBook Pro is very slow. Spinning beach ball of death appears across platforms. Might have a virus or malware. What can I run to detect what's up? Any suggestions?
You may be able to improve the speed with some software work but it could also be your disk or SSD is corrupt or failing.
Backup your data immediately:
Before proceeding you should make sure you have a current backup. If it has been getting slower over time your disk could be a failing slowly. SATA drives have two retry modes: short and long. They can continue operating as read errors are increasing. The long retry cycle is very long and can cause significant performance degradation. If it has started long retries then it is likely to get worse and eventually fail. SSDs also have a failure mode where the fail slowly.

- A clean install.
After you have backed up your system twice to two different disk drives.
Preferably with one of the backups being a clone.
Time Machine restores are complex and can sometimes fail.
You don’t want to risk all your data on one backup as you wipe out the data on your Mac.
As part of this clean install procedure for disks, erase the disk with Security Option Zero
that writes zeros to all sectors and remaps bad sectors as it does so.
That is a time consuming operation, but worth it.
See https://discussions.apple.com/message/24057867#24057867
If you have an SSD, to not write a pass of zeros to it.

Hardware replacement or upgrade?
Hopefully by now your Mac is back to its normal speed. If a hardware repair is indicated take it to an Genius bar at an Apple store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs. If it is under warranty or AppleCare they will repair it for free. If not, you can compare their estimate with DIY repairs.
Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
You can speed it up further by upgrading some hardware. (Do not upgrade the hardware if it is still covered by the warranty or AppleCare.) For the following memory, disk or SSD replacements and upgrades check out OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/, Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ and Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/. You will need to know your Mac the year and season your Mac was first sold and model number which can be found here:
> About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Model Identifier:
If your Mac has 2 or 4 GB of RAM, consider an upgrade to 8 GB (if the memory is upgradeable). An 8 GB memory upgrade is only $100. When I upgraded a MacBook from 2 GB o 8 GB it booted thee times faster.
If your Mac has a disk and it won’t repair properly, is low on disk space, or you just want a considerably faster disk, check out an upgrade to an SSD-Hybrid disk. Google "Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch" or consider an SSD (120 to 480 GB).
OWC has SSD replacements and upgrades for MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros.
Good luck. May the software fixes do the trick. -
Macbook Pro all of a sudden very slow.
My Macbook Pro has all of a sudden become very slow. The rainbow wheel shows up about every minute, and battery life has reduced a lot. I lost about 10% of my battery life within 10 minutes. It freezes all of the time. I recently upgraded to mountain lion about a month ago and everything has been fine since about 2 days ago. Any ideas on what it could be?
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Using Express and Extreme - Suddenly very slow.
I've got a Mac Pro (2009) with 10.6.8. It's hooked up to an Airport Express.
In another room I've got an iMac hooked up to an Airport Base Station. That's where my modem for the internet is.
I've had no trouble for a year but suddenly the Mac Pro is running VERY slow. I got the latest firmware but didn't change anything.
The Airport utility says "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device."
I went to download the update but it's for system 10.7 and up.
