Slow down with update!

I just updated to GB 08 and it has slowed down by a lot, my computer is a 2.33 Macbook Pro with 2 gigs, I don't know why it is doing this, I already optimized the system settings. Is my desktop or hard drive too full or what?

I totally agree.
This is the first update of GB, or, frankly, iLife in general I've been totally bummed about. Aside from iPhoto (barely) I not only feel like I wasted $79+tax, I feel like I wasted $79+tax for 4 programs that are slower, and overall WORSE than their predecessors.
I didnt' say 5 programs because it won't even let me install iMovie '08, even though I run the latest version of every other high-end video, audio and graphics app without even a hiccup.
In my humble opinion I think Apple is getting haughty. I think that after finally getting some much-deserved market success, they're starting to make the same sorts for mistakes the Sonys, and Microsofts of the world make: rushing bloated, glitchy software out the door and not responding to level-headed criticism; placing arbitrary hardware "requirements" designed to force loyal customers to upgrade; etc; etc.
And no, from everything I've read they DO NOT paruse these forums. Which is a huge, huge, huge mistake.

Tethering with AT&T, any slow down with increased use?

I am between buying a Iphone4 and a DroidX. The tie-breaker likely is going to be tethering. Apparently on a DroidX with Verizon, after 5 gigs, the intenet slows down to a crawl, something I can't live with. I gather there is no slow down with AT&T, you just pay more, $10 per gig. Do I have that right? Does tethering the Iphone4 work as well as a wireless card? Thanks.

It works fine...did I mention it was EXPENSIVE!

3g slow down with unjailbroken iphone

Is this slow down with os4 affecting anyone with an unjailbroken iphone 3g or am i the only one
problems im currently facing
slide to answer bar not sliding resultinting in loads of missed calls
slow text input
apps crashing
phone crashing
apps very slow to start

You are not alone!! Although there are a lot of nice new features with iOS4 if I could revert back to the old OS I would. I am experiencing all of the problems you describe with the addition of the device switching itself off for no reason, then taking an age to restart.
I am guessing that the hardware in the 3G just isn't up to the job anymore, but some kind of warning from Apple about possible negative impacts on useability might have been nice.
As Steve Jobs said a few days ago "we care about every user" so lets see if they do anything to sort this out for iPhone 3G users

IPhone 3G screen response slowing down with OS updates

My iPhone is getting slower with every new update of the OS. Sliding bar, received SMS list...generally every screen presentation now takes 1 or more seconds to display. This has only slowed down after the last couple of OS updates. Not happy...it used to have an instant response. Is the new programming for the new iPhone 4 included slowing down the OS for iPhone 3G?

iOs4x definitely does slow down a 3G. The 3G just doesn't have a powerful enough processor.
One trick that seems to make a big difference is to switch off Spotleight indexing. Go to Settings, General, Spotlight Search amd deselect all items.

RT target slows down after updating with a shared variable

I am using a shared variable that is defined in the RT target (cFP-2110) to transfer data from the host PC. The shared variable is a cluster of scaling parameters that needs to be stored in the RT target. The host PC is only connected temporarily for system setup and calibration.
There is only one instance of the shared variable in both the host PC vi and the target vi. The shared variable in the host is located in an event case that is activated when there is a value change. Everything works great until I make a value change in the shared variable. The target vi promptly slows from 30mSec to about 500 mSec and stays that way. The only way I can get the RT target to run full speed again is to recycle power or reset it.
What am I doing wrong?
Temporarily slowing down the RT target when the shared variable is updated is not a problem for this application. The problem is that I have to restart the target to get it running at full speed again.
I’m using Win-XP, LV 8.5.1 and FieldPoint 6.0.1
Thanks,
Dave J.

Hi Mark,
The host is sending the shared variable via an event case. When the event is activated, the data is sent to the target and it functions as expected, except that it slows down to a crawl. I have to restart the target to get it working up to speed again. The are no error codes.
The shared variable is a cluster of several items and it is attached.
In the mean time to promote the project, I split up the cluster into smaller clusters to use several shared variables and now I do not have a slow down problem. In other words, it works great. As an experiment I have sent the several small clusters at one time and I get the slow-down problem again.
I've come to the conclusion that large single cluster (which is attached) is too much to send at one time.
Please advise if there is something else to learn or understand.
Thanks,
Dave J.

Has anybody else noticed a 10-25% openGL slow down with 10.7.5?

Hi, I was running x-plane 9.70 at certain settings on my 17" MBP (early 2011, 10.7.3) and noticed I was getting about 70 fps... nice. I do an update on firmware and OS (10.7.5) and I notice that the x-plane fps has dropped to about 55. The settings and environment the same as near as I can get. I thought this was bad but maybe just x-plane or something peculiar. I also couldn't tell if the performance drop was caused by the firmware update or the OS update.
I remembered I'd done an xbench benchmark with 10.7.3 so I did a new one with the updates... sure enough the openGL numbers had dropped by 20% or so. So, I hooked up my backup drive with 10.7.3 on it and ran x-plane and xbench again to try to isolate the firmware update from the OS update.... The results were x-plane still showed a drop of about 10% and xbench about 25%. Looks like there is something wrong in 10.7.5.
Has anybody else noticed a performance slow down in openGL functions with 10.7.5?

Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

Scan slows down with each increment of loop

Hi
I am using labview to raster scan a piezo stage and collect fluorescence. To do the scanning, I have an X loop and a Y loop. Each iteration of the loop steps a voltage which is output (using DAQmx assistant) through a PCI 6229. It's very bizarre because the scan rate starts very fast (I monitor by probing the X) but subtly slows down after each iteration. When I stop the application and restart (without exiting labview) it remains slow and even gets slower. When I exit Labview and restart the program, it begins fast again, and then slows down. Any ideas??

A very inefficient programming method is your use of "insert into array" to append new data, especially since you insert a column at a time. The way the data is linearly arranged in memory, replacing a column requires rewriting of the entire array every time because the new elements are not consecutive in memory.
(I would think that appending a row at a time would be slightly more efficient, because they would be written consecutively, and at the end of the array in your case. This would be identical to a simple "built array" node).
Still, all these methods cause a resizing operation of the array, always an expensive condition that should be avoided.
Preallocating a fixed size array, then replacing rowns as you go is the most efficient. The array memory is allocated once.
You should update your graph as little as practical, so definitely not a pixel at a time. A row at a time is probably OK but if the loop rate is very fast, you could even put the graph in a case structure and update only every 10th iteration.

New IMAC slowing down with spinning ball

I've had my MAC for about 3 weeks (I switched from a PC). Today it started slowing down. First whe n I tried to print something and then when I was in Excel (Office for MAC 2004). Both times it didn't do anything for a minute and then the clorful spinning ball thing appeared. About a minute later it finished what I was doing (saving a template file).
I looked at the system memory and I have 2GB of RAM with an OK status. I have two printers - one USB attached to my MAC and the other on another computer (Windows) that I am sharing. This was not a problem before, so I don't expect this to be the issue, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
I haven't bought virus software yet - perhaps I have a virus?
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Macs don't get viruses, so you can rule that out. Do you have any shared drives or network connections? Something there could be slowing things down. If you do have some connections, try disconnecting them and see if that speeds up your access. When was the last time you rebooted the machine? You could always try that.
There is a utility in applications\utilities called "Activity Monitor". You could look there to see if anything is hogging the memory or processor. Have you installed anything recently?

Mac Mini 2011 slow down after updating to Yosemite

Hi all!
After updating my Mac Mini (half 2011) from Mavericks to Yosemite, it became extremely slow and unresponsive. I have to wait a lot of time for apps to open and commands, like clicking a button, to be executed executed. File Vault, that I read is a common cause of slow down, is NOT enabled.
What should I do? In these cases, for my Windows PC, I insert the OS DVD and format: what's the equivalent operation for a Mac?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Render Queue Slows Down with Large Queue

I recently bought a 2014 Mac Pro for the specific purpose of rendering large volumes of After Effects Compositions.
I am rendering approximately 40,000 After Effects Compositions - the reason being that I am using an After Effects Script to create personalised videos from a CSV file.
I've segmented the list into batches of around 1,000 at a time and each film is 1m25s long. I am also using the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL). The videos are added from After Effects into AME.
The Problem
When I start the render, it churns them out at about 3 minutes per video. If I leave it for more than around 9 hours, the render time dramatically slows down. After leaving it for more than 24 hours (a weekend) I've seen render times of around an hour per composition.
Question
Is there a way to stop the queue from slowing down?

I've noticed it with more than 40+ objects in the Queue as well. Now I just save the Queue and stop and exit and re-open if it looks like it's slowing down. Mind you this is a 4Ghz Hex core, 64GB Ram and Quadro 5000 + Tesla C2075 so I know it's not a system issue. CC prior to CC (2014) I never experienced this issue.

Slowing down with Office:mac

ever since installing office:mac (yesterday) my new macbook slowed down a LOT! Is it now handling this software well? I noticed it was VERY slow with PPT especially. I was putting together a presentation with .jpegs and the machine bogged right down...
any body HELP?

Hey, nice to see another user from TO.
I am replying to your question since I feel that my whole Mac is acting strangely since I installed Office. Is it your Mac or just Office for you?
I just set up a second user account and was amazed at how fast things ran on it.
As mentioned in other reply, Rosetta is the reason Office:Mac more slowely since it was written for Power PC and Rosetta must translate in order for Intel Macs to use it but i am curious if it is slowing down your machine too.

Severe Site Slow-Down with multiple DNS/Sites

Alright.. this is a bit of a strange situation, any help is appreciated because I'm pretty much out of troubleshooting options.
Mac OS X Server hosting a few important sites and then several "redirect" sites.
- A PHP/MySQL system
- 2 normal PHP/MySQL websites
- 8 Redirects (domain.bz, domain.biz, domain.name, etc..)
The redirects are set up like so:
- A DNS entry with a "www" alias pointing to the local machine.
- A site with a .html file containing a meta-refresh to domain.com
The Redirects work just fine when they are enabled, www.domain.biz goes to www.domain.com, etc.. however, the 3 sites that run on the server experience severe slow-down to the point of not even loading.
Normally the sites are blazingly fast..
Anyway, if the redirect site entries are disabled, the slow-down disappears.
As an added oddity.. if Safari is experiencing the slowdown, but I cancel the site load.. the site pulls up missing images/css in varying degrees, depending on when I cancel, so it's like something is "hanging".
There's nothing apparent in the error logs other than a report that 'there is a mismatch between the domain name and reverse DNS' etc.. 'may cause some services to not work properly'.

Nevermind, I found the problem.
The performance cache was enabled for the redirect sites.

Speed of ipad2 slowed down after updating to ios8

Audio will slow down with speed change, but not speed up

I'm using FCP 6.0.6 and am trying to adjust the speed of an audio clip and some odd things are happening.
If I change the speed of a clip to, say, 130%, the clip shortens appropriately, but the audio don't change. It just crops it off. And in the speed dialog box, the drop down menu is grayed out and Constant Speed is chosen.
If I choose to slow down the clip, to say 75%, everything seems to work. The audio is slowed, the clip lengthens, but then I can't change it to anything else. It says slow regardless of any adjustments in the speed dialog box. I have to go back through "Undo"s to get it to change.
Am I doing something wrong? I read some questions about this with people using FCP 7 and that seems like how mine should be working.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Well, it is an .AIFF file converted from .WAV in Quicktime. It is 187.5 megs and has a datarate of 344.5 k/sec. It is stereo at 44.1K and has a 32-bit Floating point.
That help? I actually just was able to do the time compression in Soundtrack Pro. But I'm sure I've done it in the past directly in FCP.

A55M-P33, CPU fan not slowing down with Cool&Quiet

Hi,
I recently build a computer with an A55M-P33 motherboard and A4-3400 CPU with stock fan. That CPU came from my computer and was working fine, the fan too and both throttled down with Cool&Quiet enabled.
On the A55M-P33, the CPU does throttle down (checked with CPU-Z), but the CPU-fan does not. It keeps spinning at full speed.
Did I miss a setting in the BIOS, besides the setting to enable Cool&Quiet, or is there something else going on? It's not a big issue though, just a little bit of extra noise, but I hate it when something does not work as it should.

Only solution to that is to determine if you even need the case fan. If you do, then perhaps you can parallel the case fan with the CPU fan if its PWM, else, look at an aftermarket fan controller.
