Sims running slowly after update

I am playing the sims complete collection at the moment, and have never had any problems with it. Since installing the lastest update, to 10.6.4 it has started to run very very slowly to the point i quit after two mins as it takes so long to do anything or respond.
Why is this? what actually did the update do? there are no noticeable differences. I was always told to keep the computer up to date in order to prevent things like this happening.
Is there anything I can do to get it running smoothly again?

Did you check the developer's website to see if your version of the game is compatible with 10.6.4 or if any updates are necessary? When operating systems are updated, third party apps sometimes also need to be updated.
Edit: Did you use Software Update? You can also try to download the combo update from the Apple website and re-install it; don't forget to repair permissions before and after and restart.

  • I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite.  I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available.  Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

    After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time.  There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store.  Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

    Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
    Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

    Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
    Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
    Locate iPhoto app
    Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
    Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
    Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
    Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

  • Why is my safari running slow after updating my mac?

    My safari is running slow after completing a software update.  I have cleared the cache.  It did not help.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
    Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Sim not valid after update to IOS 8.1.1

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5 and I have update it yesterday from iOS 6 to iOS 8.1.1 and after update I can`t activate it.
    My iPhone has been purchased from SFR France and has been sim locked by SFR.
    I have official unlock it last month and it worked well on Orange Romania until yesterday.
    On all servers it look like unlocked but I can`t activate it.
    iTunes say that sim card is not compatible.
    Now It have iOS 8.1.
    Please help me.

    I haven't contacted SFR directly, I have used a service like "apple official unlock. com/ apple-official-imei-iphone-unlock" to do that and I verified the simlock status on other site like this. I think that site contacted SFR for unlock.
    The iPhone has been unlocked after I connected it to iTunes and I think that is official unlocked.

  • Emac G4 runs slowly after upgrading from panther to tiger

    I have an Emac G4 with a 1.26 GHz HD and 512 MB RAM. I just bought and installed a full install (3 discs) for Tiger. Then I added the upgrade to 10.4.11. I had been running 10.3.9. Now the memory is close to maxed out and the computer runs slowly. And it occasionally freezes up on a program so I have to force quit. Is it running slowly because of the almost-full memory? Is Tiger that much bigger than Panther? I already trashed the Internet Explorer and Netscape programs to free up some memory but what else can I trash? I went into prefs to get rid or all IE and Nestscape stuff and I don't think I trashed anything else (that would cause it to run slowly or freeze up). I redid the permissions but I don't think it helped. Anything else I should be doing? Upgrading firmware? etc.?

    If you can Backup, be sure to do it of course!
    Depending what you use it for of course...
    On HD space 13GB, that's getting down to the point where it's slowing things a tat bit.
    On Memory, I'd forget the 256MB, my eMac 1.42, (uses same Memory chips), has the "2GB PC3200 PowerMac G5 Memory Upgrade (2x1GB Matched Pair) DDR 400MHz CAS 3.0", here...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/Item_XLR8YourMac.cfm?ID=6077&Item=OWC3200DDR2GBP
    You can get 1GB here...
    "1GB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CAS 2.5 184 Pin DIMM"
    "512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CL2.5 184 Pin Module"
    by searching here for a bit of discount...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/Specials/XLR8YourMac.cfm
    If the budget is really really tight...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/2700DDR256/
    I take it that you feel that Tiger IS that big...
    As an example, just the latest Keyboard update for Tiger is 35.3MB!!! ???
    The more RAM you get and the more HD Space you can free up, the Happier you'll be!

  • Fan runs continuously after Update to Leopard

    Hi,
    after updating my macbook pro to leopard after a few minutes the fan runs continuously. I think the problem is the bluetooth process, which consumes 56 % of the cpu. The bluetooth firmeware is 2.1.0f17. I have installed the latest updates 10.5.3.
    Can anybody help?
    Thank you.
    Susanne

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Assuming you're using Activity Monitor to identify the offending process, you can quit the process from there. Does it return after a reboot?
    Hope this helps...

  • Qosmio G20-156 running slowly after system restore

    please help since my son crashed my pc and i restored it with the cd that came with the machine im having problems with screensaver running slowly and some programs running slowly like nero vision which was fine before. i tried all the usual stuff like lowering graphics acceleration but no joy please help
    e-mail me at [email protected]
    my machine is a qosmio g20-156 pqg21e

    Hi
    The screensaver is running slowly??? I dont know what you mean but possibly some pictures or anything moves slowly. So I dont think that this has something to do with the hardware but more with the screensaver settings as suggested above.
    The Qosmio is a very powerful notebook and a application such screensaver cannot be a problem.
    But Silas gives you a very nice advice. Check the background processes and disable not necessary applications which starts at the beginning

  • ITunes Running Slowly after 10.6 update

    i just fixed my external hard drive, where i keep all of my music and was so happy to finally use iTunes again. However i notice now that itunes has a laggy feeling overall and is generally unresponsive. For instance, adding new tracks takes about half an hour (100mb worth). I drag the folder into iTunes, and i get the spinning wheel. it stays for about 5 min, then shows its uploading the tracks. the tracks tend to move at a very slow rate. Even once they have been added, iTunes is "determinig gapless playback" and that takes a good hour for 100 songs. while this is going on, if i try to click on a song or play a song, the spinning wheel comes back. Now once everything is finished loading i play a song, and am enjoying it right until the end. With about 3 seconds left iTunes freezes up and takes about 2 min to change to the next track. really frustrating and annoying issue. any help would be appreciated.
    ps i have always stored my music on an external drive and this has never been the case, so maybe its something with the new iTunes because the R/RW speed of the disk is good for everything else.
    OS X Lion 10.7.3

  • Macbook pro 13" running slow after update

    After the iTunes update(version 10.7) and OS X Lion update that was rolled out a few weeks ago, my macbook pro 13" has been runnning slow at times. These are mainly those times when I am listening to music on itunes and browsing on safari (and no other activity). In case I am using more than these two applications, it almost certainly runs VERY slow and I am forced to restart. Without itunes, it runs fine though.
    Any help anyone?

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    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.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Has anyone else had issues with their Mac running slowly after installing Mavericks?

    Ever since I installed Mavericks, my MacBook is running waaaaay slower. One of my favorite things about Macs has always been how fast they boot up, but ever since Mavericks, mine takes forever. A lot of programs like GarageBand and Premiere Pro are also running really slowly. They used to work great. Anyone else having this same issue?

    The first thing to do is ensure you have adequate backups, because what you describe can be a symptom of impending disk failure.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting. There are four separate parts to it; read everything first.
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.
    Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
    System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

  • Can't run programs after update

    I'm running a MacBook Air. I ran the software updates yesterday. I've also run Repair Disk Permission (multiple times).
    I'm not getting responses when I try to run any program (Safari, Bento, MSFT Office programs, Force Quit, anything!
    Also, machine won't properly shut down or restart.
    Unfortunately, I also can't get to Time Machine backups from my IMac: The following disk image couldn't be opened, user's MacBook Air.sparsebundle, Resource temporarily unavailable.

    Thanks so much teekay! Okay I just did a series of tinkerings, constant "systemctl restart sickbeard" + "systemctl --system daemon-reload"'s and finally I got it working. What seemed to be wrong was having sickbeard.service in the wrong place and/or not symlinked properly, as well as I had the wrong group in "Group=" line in sickbeard.service. Also, the "ExecStart" line had "datadir=/opt/sickbeard" which had to be taken out. In case anyone else runs into this:
    [Unit]
    Description=SickBeard Daemon
    #After=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=bobby
    Group=users
    #ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config /opt/sickbeard/config.ini --datadir /opt/sickbeard
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config %h/.sickbeard/config.ini
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    This is the sickbeard.service file which I put in /usr/lib/systemd/system/, and then made a symlink to it from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants. Finally I reloaded the daemons after restarting the sickbeard and it's up (tested in browser as well of course):
    sickbeard.service loaded active running SickBeard Daemon
      Thanks for the help!

  • 2009 iMac is running slowly after installing Yosemite

    Dear Community -

    Any suggestions for how to rescue my iMac from being a brick?

  • Can't run sickbeard after update

    I'm using the sickbeard-git package that has always worked fine from AUR, just updated and followed the instructions in the update message. Now running the command gives an error:
    ┌─[ 11/18/12 10:23:59 PM ][ ~ ]
    └─> systemctl --user start sickbeard
    Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
    I do have dbus running in rc.conf and with ps it shows it's running:
    └─> psaux dbus
    dbus 535 0.0 0.0 17692 1368 ? Ss 03:23 0:00 dbus-daemon --system
    bobby 1278 0.0 0.0 12820 716 tty1 S 03:23 0:00 ck-launch-session dbus-launch startfluxbox
    bobby 1295 0.0 0.0 17408 1228 ? Ss 03:23 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
    Haven't run into this with anything else so not sure what's up, appreciate any help, thanks!

    Thanks so much teekay! Okay I just did a series of tinkerings, constant "systemctl restart sickbeard" + "systemctl --system daemon-reload"'s and finally I got it working. What seemed to be wrong was having sickbeard.service in the wrong place and/or not symlinked properly, as well as I had the wrong group in "Group=" line in sickbeard.service. Also, the "ExecStart" line had "datadir=/opt/sickbeard" which had to be taken out. In case anyone else runs into this:
    [Unit]
    Description=SickBeard Daemon
    #After=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=bobby
    Group=users
    #ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config /opt/sickbeard/config.ini --datadir /opt/sickbeard
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python2 /opt/sickbeard/SickBeard.py --config %h/.sickbeard/config.ini
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    This is the sickbeard.service file which I put in /usr/lib/systemd/system/, and then made a symlink to it from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants. Finally I reloaded the daemons after restarting the sickbeard and it's up (tested in browser as well of course):
    sickbeard.service loaded active running SickBeard Daemon
      Thanks for the help!
