Shutting down iTunes causes system to slow down

When ever I shut down iTunes my computer slows down considerably. When I check windows task manager under processes it shows iTunes to be still active and taking up about 90% of my system resources. I have to shut down iTunes in task manager to solve this problem. Does anyone know what may cause this?

When your mailboxes were moved to Office 365, your directory should have been updated so it pointed to the mailboxes in Office 365, not to your local Exchange 2003 mailboxes.  Just thinking this through, I think your consultant didn't do a complete
job.  With the Exchange 2013 PowerShell tools, you should be able to update your 500 accounts so they point to the proper system for the mailboxes.

  • Does locked documents in sm12 can cause system to slow down in reading

    hi experts,
    When I check locked entries in sm12, i found some locked entries which are already past 8 hours and sometimes more. Do those entries contribute to the system's slow performance? When should I delete those entries? I hesitate to delete locked entries and kick users out of the system because they maybe editting some documents and have'nt saved them yet.
    Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hello,
    System Lock mechanism doesn't slow down system. But sometime it's required to delete the entries of hanged uses login processes, which can be done through SM04/AL08 as described by GURUS.
    But sometime though you try to delete from these T-Code the process doesn't get delted, then you can proceed for the below mnetioned two steps:
    1. SM50 and delete the corresponding process through PROCESS > CANCEL WITHOUT CORE
                                                                                    PROCESS > RESTART AFTER ERROR -> NO
    2. If you have access to OS level, then the same can be deleted by following command:
                                                                                    kill -9 <process no.>
    In case any issue, please feel free to revert.

  • Probook 6540b; more memory causes system to slow down dramatical​ly

    Hi,
    I have a Probook 6540b with Intel i5 and I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I bought the notebook with 4GB RAM installed. I heard from the supplier that the computers tend to be "buggy" with more than 2GB RAM, but I needed the memory so I didn't mind much.
    Recently my computer slowed down significantly. Taking ages to boot up and just as long to open even an internet browser.
    Remembering what the supplier told me I removed the extra 2GB RAM and my computer suddenly responded as if it was brand new.
    I would like to be able to have 4GB RAM available, but not at the cost of performance.
    Is there a solution available?
    P.S.. The extra 2G RAM is a Kingston module - if that could be of any help...

    Turns out it was a problem with the battery and removing the RAM was just a fluke... Sorry...

  • System has slowed down considerably after updates from Apple. Is SyncServer the culprit?

    I use MacBook with preinstalled OS Leopard since April 2009. I have also regulalry updated my computer system using the Software Update application. However, since my last update on 12th Aug 2011, I have noticed that my system has slowed down. There is long pause between every character I type, delay in switching applications, battery dries out quicker, slow response to every command.
    I have started facing this problem after updating following software like iTunes 10.4, Safari 5.0.6, Migration Assistant Update for MAC OS Leopard & Quick Time 7.7 from Software Updater. Although, my OS is still leopard.
    I noticed on the Activity Monitor that syncserver is using majority of my RAM and reappers even if I stop the process. Some of its subprocess like AddressBookSync also appears and consumes lot of memory. Is this the problem? Though, I never noticed earlier what size it consumed.
    I use Microsoft Office suite for Mac and have also checked and deselected all sync services. Yet, the Process (PID 305) continues to appear in Activity Monitor.
    I am no techie, and would appreciate quick help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks!

    I was just about to write the same problem, but I don't have VMware; my laptop is late 2008 was running Snow Leopard (uptodate version).
    I've scientific softwares so probably would require a clean re-installation of ML. I MUST MENTION HERE that those software which were written for PPC will NOT work on ML. Just found out that one of my important softwares version won't work on ML; need $500  to upgrade that software .
    Therefore, I'd also want to know how can I go back to SL.
    I'll let you know how clean re-installation has worked.

  • System gradually slowing down?

    I hope I'm not picking up a topic which has been discussed a gazillion times, but I couldn't find my specific questions after doing some searches. There's a few things I won't to clear about Mac OS.
    I have a MBP 2009 with 4GB mem and 500GB HD. It still runs smoothly however it defenitly runs slower than in the beginning. I guess that's a bit normal (more programs, files, mails, junk,...).
    I've been a PC user most of my life and switched about a year ago. i'm happy. I always found it necessary to do a reinstall of the OS on a pc every 1-2 years (even though I try to keep my stuff very clean). I'm curious how this effects on Mac OS?
    If I would do a reinstall, let's say from a Time Machine Backup (so with all my files, programs, mails, settings etc.), would the system run exactly the same or are there some core OS operations that will run 'smoother' after a re-install (with a TM backup). (I guess for a PC that would be a clean registry and not having 'unknown' processes/programs loading at the back).
    Also, is having installed a lot of applications (even when they are not running) slowing down the system. I guess it shouldn't as long as there's enough disk space.
    And then finally, do disks slow down after a while. Is having a 10% full HD (much) faster then 60% full (mine is around 60%). also disk defrag is no longer 'necessary' in the latest versions of Mac OS but I just can't imagine that after +1y heavy usage some files are "spread out".. (I'm no expert on file systems so I could expect an answer as: "no, EXT FS doesn't have fragmentation"
    Anyways, these are a few doubts I still have around a Mac OS system slowing down:
    -reinstall OS (this one particularly since i'm thinking of upgrading to new laptop, and wonder if I should start from scratch and copy manually or use my Time Machine backup to reinstall)
    -having many apps (not running)
    -disk fragmentations, or just hardware slowing down
    cheers!

    If you have not already done so, run Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" & "Repair Permissions" steps on your HD. All utilities that do permissions repairs use exactly the same built-in function of the OS to do so, so it doesn't matter if you do this through Onyx, Disk Utility, or Disk Warrior.
    The verify/repair disk step is a bit different: all utilities use the same method of detecting file system errors but (for example) Disk Warrior rebuilds file system directories from scratch (including perfectly useable ones), which often can repair damage Disk Utility can't, & has a side benefit of simplifying directory structures. Once, back when HD's were much slower & less sophisticated than they are now, this could make a large difference in file system performance. Now, it is debatable that an otherwise OK directory structure would show a noticeable improvement.
    IOW, if your HD's file system is healthy or only has minor problems, Disk Warrior won't do much of anything of real value that Disk Utility can't, but it can be a lifesaver if Disk Utility can't repair certain kinds of problems it can detect.
    The same is true for file fragmentation -- unless the drive is full of very fragmented files, defragmenting it probably won't show much real world improvement.
    The number of inactive applications on your Mac makes almost no difference in performance. What can easily do so is the number of active processes running at any given time. As a former PC users, you may not fully appreciate the difference between quitting an app & closing all its windows. Closing all an app's windows is somewhat like old TSR (terminate & stay resident) DOS programs -- it is still using some system resources, although not as many as when it is active. So, if you aren't already doing so, remember to quit applications you do not plan on reusing for a while.
    Just as importantly, don't load down the OS with a lot of unnecessary add-ons, especially ones that modify the user interface in some way. Each of these things uses some system resources; a few can destabilize the OS, causing recoverable code exceptions you may not be aware of without searching through system logs but still creating extra work for the CPU.
    If or when you remove add-ons or applications, be sure to check the documentation for the proper way to do that. If you don't, you may leave behind files that impact performance.

  • System becomes slowing down!

    My desktop environment is Gnome3 and use Radeon HD 3200 Graphics.
    The whole system starts become slowing down and slowing down after I watched video on Internet or in local computer.And the totem also has some bugs.This problem puzzles me for some days.Does anyone encountered this case?
    By the way,the system is all right when I don't watch the videos.

    Sorry, don't use Gnome.
    The system is going to slow down because something is using processor bandwidth, or because of page faults (disk thrashing caused by excessive swap operations in low memory situations)
    Investigate your processor bandwidth with tools like top or htop, and check your memory with free  (I've heard tell of significant memory leaks)
    Report back what you find.

  • AddressBookSourcesSync Causing Sever Laptop Slow Down

    After updating to iOS 5 and Icloud my Laptop has some severe slow down issues. I started the Acitivity Monitor and found that the AddressBookSourcesSync user process is using as much as 90% of the CPU and lots of Memory both virtual and Real Memory. I can stop this process and the system returns to normal. But every time I start up I can not use the computer until I quit the process.
    Here is a process sample from the activity monitor.

    I have the same problem. While working I can detect a major slowdown that almost brings my iMac to a halt. Activity Monitor always shows addressbooksync using 80 - 95% of CPU. I quit the process to get back to work until the next sync.
    This is a major issue that will soon drive me to turn off iCloud. Unfortunately my iPhone and iPad use will suffer.
    Any solutions out there?

  • What causes a sudden slow-down of cursor movement?

    I'm laying out a multi-authored volume in CS6, and when I get to one specific chapter, the cursor suddenly slows down and will barely work. Is there some sort of hidden formatting in the original text file that could be causing this?

  • [SOLVED] System suddenly slowed down

    This is my first post on this forum, so - Hello, everybody
    My problem occured yesterday:
    1. I've made a big upgrade (don't remember exactly, but kernel was upgraded for sure)
    2. I've noticed a serious slow down of the system: web surfing (firefox), AUR packages compiling (took almost 10 minutes to compile subtitlecomposer-git!) and other performance problems.
    It had never happened before. My computer is Dell E6400 with  2 GB RAM and up to yesterday everything was working fine. Maybe I can deal with my problem on my own, but I just need some clues, where to look for any information.
    It's really annoying
    Well, I also made some mess last time - I've tried to install MATE and Gnome with both: LightDM and GDM. At present: everything is removed, and I'm using only KDE.
    Seems like system start-up time didn't change, so I think the problem source is on "higher level".
    htop is telling, that RAM consumption is 743 MB (only KDE + firefox with 4 tabs running), and processor load oscillates between 3 and 30% (when switching from Firefox to yakuake).
    Thx in advance for any help and sorry for poor english.

    I've checked with iotop - nothing strange.
    I will try old kernel and let you know.
    Thx.
    EDIT: Unfortunately, downgrading kernel didn't change anything. Still looking for solution
    EDIT #2: Strange thing... I've just changed theme and some look-n-feel settings in KDE Settings and it works fine now. Also KDE was upgraded recently, so maybe this fixed the problem.
    Anyway, it works
    Thx.

  • I upgraded to Maverick system really slowed down, All file access 10-15% slower. Solution?

    After I upgraded from Mountian Lion to Maverick (OS10.9) accessing files and directories on external drives slowed down by at least 10 - 15 %. I get the color wheel and a long wait almost 25% of the time. Is there a solution other than downgrading to 10>8?

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Keeping itunes media folder organised slows down itunes

    My itunes became very very slow indeed when I updated to version 9. I looked at self help forums and discovered that it should speed up if I unchecked "keep itunes media folder organised". I did that, and sure enough, itunes was cured.
    Somebody then said that if I re-checked it, then the folder would be re-organised, and everything would be OK. I did this, and it took all night to organise my library (although it wasn't actually 'disorganised'). However itunes had just returned to being glacially slow.
    So why is this happening? I can't find any cure for it, although I suppose one might have been found by now.
    This is on a G4 ibook, 1.42 GHz. It ran itunes 8 with no problem at all. Leopard

    I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
    It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

  • Flash causes Firefox to slow down and even freeze (and on a gaming laptop, too). How to fix this?

    Every time I use the Flash plug-in (for videos on YouTube or PutLocker or whatever), FireFox just slows down a lot and even freezes. It happens very often now and it's really annoying.
    By the way, I am using a gaming laptop so I am not sure why I am having these problems. My Flash plug-in and firefox are updated to the latest versions, too.
    My specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Intel i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHZ (8 CPUs)
    nVidia GTX 560m 3GB vRAM dedicated
    16GB RAM

    Okay, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. That helped only for about ten minutes and it started doing it again.
    I don't know what else to do. :S

  • I suddenly have no sound. Also system has slowed down.

    My IPad has no sound and has slowed down.

    1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • Upgrade to IOS 6 has caused everything to slow down, noticeably..ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS PARTICULARLY ON MY MAC

    Is anyone else seeing this noticeable slow down? 
    Ever since the IOS 6 , at least since then, everything slows down and nothing is wrong, just nothing is any where near as fast as it used to be... Other friends who have macs also say the same....
    Is there a fix coming or something to restore thiings back to normal.

    Allan,
    Just about everything...The internet is slow and I have a very fast FIOS connection 25 up and down....
    You click on something, i.e. a bookmark and it takes a while for it to do anything...Dock items seem to react slower to open, it is like it thinking about it before anything happens....
    Not sure how to describe it, but several friends have said the exact same thing...even on our Ipads...
    Do you see nothing slower?

  • ITunes Causing System Freezes

    After playing a CD or listening to my music library for a while, I get random freezes; eg spinning beachball in iTunes. It happens when an album is finished or a playlist is finished and I go back to iTunes to eject or quit or play a new playlist. Freezes. When I try to click Apple (in order to click on Force Quit), it isn't available...the beachball rules. The only thing I can do with the cursor is click on Finder in the Dock; or the desktop area outside of open apps. Cmnd+Q doesn't work. Cmnd+esc doesn't work. CmndoptnQ doesn't work. Cmndoptnesc brings up the force quit dialogue. That leads to a "force finder to quit?" dialogue. A couple times I've had to resort to hard rebooting.
    Suggestions would be appreciated; but another issue is the fact that this is causing system freezes and I was under the impression that the cool thing about OS X is that one app won't cause system freezes.
    There's another similar thread titled 'it crashes', but system freezes aren't mentioned.
    Any ideas?

    Still doing it...but I give up on getting any help.
