Slow,Freezing,Quitting
Yesterday I powered on my MacBook after it had died. It took a really long to even come to the log-in screen.
Slow
Everything is slower. It takes forever for things to load! Most of the time it loads but then quits or nothing is there.
Freezing
When using safari, and other applications, it will freeze and the colorful pinwheel will appear. You can move the wheel, but can't click on anything, even outside of the application itself!
Quitting
I will try to open Itunes, it will bounce on the dock, but nothing appears, and then it just quits.
What's wrong and what can I do?
try checking for any updates of your os X or maybe reinstalling the mac osx as i see you have the 10.5.8 its not bad if you upgrade it to snow leopard as the lion is coming out and for lion upgrade you need the mac app store which is available on the snow leopard
if you don't want to upgrade try the PRAM reset and SMC reset

I upgraded to Yosemite recently. Now my computer acts like it has a virus although my virus checker says it is clean. It is slow, freezes all the time, I have to turn off my computer to get it to work again. I don’t like the new Yosemite.

Also I went through the list and saw this

Could this be the reason why my CD/DVD player quit working because it's crap?
thanks

Macbook Pro is slow, freezing all the time and has Wi-Fi problems
Hello!
My Macbook Pro started acting kinda strange a couple of weeks ago. It's slow, freezing all the time and constantly connecting and reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network after around half a minute of usage.
Here is the story, as far as I know:
In the start of 2014, pup-up boxes started popping up on my Macbook Pro. They said that I had to enter a password for the Keychain to gain access to a service or something. The odd thing about it was that I had never set up my iCloud Keychain. It just started appearing without me knowing why. Unfortunately, I didn't know the password for this due to the fact that I never set it up. I tried every password combination that could possibly work, but I didn't get through it. I tried different solutions, but nothing worked out. I solved it by simply making a new user account on my Mac. I used this for like 1 month before the whole Mac with all its user started messing itself up.
It might be worth to notice that this secondary-user didn't require a password to log in, so when I closed my Macbook and re-opened it, it would continue where it was left off. This might have been the reason for the Mac sometimes to get really warm while being in my backpack, which might also have caused the problem. I am not sure though.
After using the secondary user for a while, the Mac started acting strange again. This time it was something different. One day, my girlfriend started up my Macbook Pro and noticed that it was extremely slow. I assumed it was just in the need of a restart, but that wasn't it. The computer started freezing all the time at first. It froze when I clicked something in an application, and I had to wait like 10 seconds for it to go back to normal. If I was typing anything on Facebook, it would freeze, but I could still use any other tab of the browser without any problems. However, they would freeze to if I did anything special on other websites. Every other program would also freeze for reasons like typing or clicking on anything.
After a short while, it started being really slow during startup and use. A few days ago, my Macbook Pro also started disconnecting from Wi-Fi networks while trying to load pages. It doesn't disconnect every time, but it does sometimes. It tries to reconnect after that, and if it succeed's, everything is back to normal for a while.
Additionaly, the battery have been draining faster, and when it reached 0%, the computer turned off and closed all the open programs. Normally it has entered Sleep Mode, but not anymore.
Do any of you have any clue what the issue might be?
I have done the following:
- Reset PRAM
- Restore to system defaults
- Installed AVG Antivirus and scanned it
- Repaired and verified disk in Disk Utility.
- Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player.
I hope anyone can help me! I really need my computer for educational use!1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My macbook pro has been running slow for quite some time
Hello, my MacBook Pro has been running slow for quite some time now and it's frustrating. I hope you'll be able to help me. I've read this thread and figured out I should open a new one, so here it is.
I've already downloaded Etrechech and ran it and this is what I got:

When I quit a CS application (or use Shut Down) my CS Suite apps are very slow to quit. Shut Down often cancels, reporting that "Application A" is not closing. If I wait these apps will eventually close, it can take several minutes each though.
I usually have Pshop, InDesign, Illus, Acrobat and Dreamweaver running all day, bouncing between them. I work in print design so my files can
be large, Pshops are often 300 Mb, InDesign files are usually 10 to 80 Mbs.
Hardware is a Macbook Pro, 2.4 Ghz, 2 MB ram OSX 10.5.4(I've also had the problem with my Macbook Pro, 2.4 Ghz, 4 MB ram OSX 10.4)
Anyone have a fix or reason why?It seems to me that InDesign is the slowest application to quit of any on my computers. It is just about impossible to complete a Restart if InDesign is running when I initiate it.
I think it has to do with the way that InDesign releases virtual memory. It doesn't seem to have a "That's it, I'm out of here" algorithm. Rather it uses a "Remember this parcel of memory? You can have it back now. -- Ooh thanks a bunch, ducky" approach where that exchange occurs sometimes hundreds of times, depending on what you have been doing before the quit (or restart).
To see it happening, launch Activity Monitor before quitting from InDesign and watch the fun as the VM edges its way back to the point where quitting can actually happen. However, this will only be worth doing if you've been pushing InDesign for an hour or two. If you just fire it up and then quit, it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Hey gang-
I just bought a new 2ghz G5 iMac 20". I've updated everything and am running iPhoto 5.0.4 with OS 10.4.2. I imported my 9,000 photos from iPhoto 4 using Migration Assistant.
In general, iPhoto5 seems quite snappy compared to iPhoto 4 on my old 800mhz G4 iMac- EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. It is super-slow when Quitting! That's the last place I would have expected problems. Is there any reason- or solution- for slow quitting in iPhoto 5?
Thanks!
DaveiPhoto has some problems on my system. I tried cmd-option rebuild, and after a LONG while it says it's done. It claims to have over 700 photos in a "Recovered" album. It is displaying this new album, but all of the photos are blank.
Anyway, I try to quit, but even after waiting overnight nothing seems to happen.
I've repaired privies, done a safe boot, disabled Spot Light, but I run into the same thing. Surely it oughta quit given overnight, no?
I end up force-quitting it, and then I have to go through the agony of rebuilding again. Oddly, it claims that the iphoto library is that of an old version and must be updated (EACH TIME!) Maybe that's because I force-quit each time, no?
Advice welcomed. -
3rd party apps slow to quit since 10.6.2
Have anyone noticed that 3rd party apps (e.g., MS Office, Firefox, et. al.,) are very slow to quit?
Ever since I've updated, I've noticed a quite a bit of lag after quitting to when actually quits.
Any ideas?Its a mid 2009 MBP w/4Gb RAM and 2.8MHz C2D, lots of free HDD space.
Don't think its a memory issue. Did not have slow app to quit prior to 10.6.2 and Apple's apps behaves just fine... -
My blackbery 9860 crashed and freeze quite a lot
hello blackberry support.. i hope you can help me...
my blackberry 9860 crash and freeze quite a lot and it's annoy me..
i have the bundling OS which is 7.0.0 bundle 2395
i still have 93.9 mb of application storage...
2.2 gb of built in storage
and 97.2 mb from media card...
what should i do to get rid of the crash and freeze??Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Finding out what is wrong is a matter of deduction...there may be a badly behaving add-on app causing it. There may be corruption in your OS. There may be a hardware level issue. You may be leaving too many apps open. Some apps may have memory leaks. The OS level you are using may have a memory leak. Many possibilities exist...so it's a matter of deduction for you to figure it out.
I would suggest starting with a clean OS reload. At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software

I just imported about 8000 pictures to my new imac from a windows pc. Since I made the import the computer runs VERY slow when iPhoto is open and iPhoto runs especially slow. In addition, when I click the red x to close (but not quit) the program it stalls for about ten seconds then completely shuts down (quits). Any suggestions would be great!
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)Wow, that must be frustrating!
How much RAM do you have in your machine?
When you start getting that large of a library in iPhoto, it has been known to bog down, and slow down quite a bit. Generating all of the thumbnails can be an issue, and hadnling the scrolling through the main library display can become awfully slow as well.
Although it applies to an earlier version of iPhoto, try reading this particular article. The suggestions it gives on breaking up your Library into manageable chunks transcends versions.

Not a question, just a comment. I have loved my ipad 2 for several years, but now with the ios8 update it is as wonky and irritating as any android device. Slow, freezes, doesn't download properly weird things pop up-so sad. Is apple losing its edge?
I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

Re-set the phone, will work then will will slow, freeze,not receive text messages
Sluggish performance can mean that your hard disk drive is failing. Are you running Verify Disk while you're booted into you main partition or whilst booting into your Recovery partition. If you're not in Recovery mode, you should be - simply start up whilst holding down the command and R keys and use the Disk Utility app in the mix to Verify and, if necessary, Repair your hard drive.
If your hard drive has failed, you'll know with either Verify or Repair.
Try it and call back.

My iMac g5 starts up , responds slow, freezes after approx. 2 minutes, then upper fan starts running high and loud. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Worth fixing?
Could be over-heating. Try cleaning out the air vents.

My computer is slow, freezes, and often locks-up. What to do?
HP Pavilion Elite HPE
No matter what we do our computer is slow, freezes, and often locks-up.
We use system Mechanic, defraging, and windows security essentials but nothing works. Please helpDO not try to use things like "Double my speed. com". First thing is you didn't state how old you PC is. Have you tried clearing/deleting all history and temp files from ALL user accounts? Next, what type of anti virus do you have? Norton, just about every version is known to slow your PC, but not to the extent of causing major frustration and they do have a start up manager which allows you to run only certain programs at start up, and will only let them run when requested by you. How much memory do you have? This is always a big factor, you may need to install more memory. I think your problem is in the memory capacity, clear out and delete files/folders not in use and you may also want to delete programs that are rarely used or programs that you may not know are installed in your PC by some download you may have performed. You also might want to look at what process are running (you might have high cpu usage) and disable what is not necessary Hope this helps.

Slow, Freezing up, Unexpectedly quitting...multiple problems
I am having terrible issues with PPro CS5.5.
Fisrt off when making the switch from CS5 to 5.5 I noticed right away it was much slower...I then started encountering my projects to quit unexpectedly, freezes up, can't load certain media or freezes up while opening a project. Rendering times are much slower even on a simple internal drive edit.
For this particular project I have been having no success with: I have my entire project on a external with firewire 800. I moved my entire project onto the internal drive and no issues were solved. I then decided to try and open the same project from the hard drive on another iMac running CS5. It loaded very quickly no issues.
This particular project has over 50gigs of footage with a couple sequences and a couple After Effects projects using Dynamic Link.
I am editing 1080 DSLR 24fps footage in a 1080 timeline.
I've never had issues like this in CS5. I can even remember about a year ago how my friend was able to edit off two USB self powered externals on a 5 year old Macbook Pro playing back heavily color corrected footage without rendering easily.
Specs of the two iMacs:
Running CS5.5 on a 2.5 Quad-core i5 with 4GB memory with the latest version of Lion.
Running CS5 with a single 3.2 i3 with 4GB memory with the latest Snow Leopard.
I know they are not crazy fast machines but I have never experienced PPro like this until I upgraded to CS5.5
Is it just CS5.5? or maybe 5.5 in conjunction with Lion?
I've had to switch back to FCP7...really Adobe?
Please help any solution much appreciated.terrible issues with PPro CS5.5.
two iMacs:
Somehow I knew I'd find the second sentence as soon as I'd read the first.
This whole post will likely end up deleted, but you still might see it before it goes away, so here it goes...
The move from FCP to PP was a good one, but it's only half way there. Finish the move and build yourself a new suitable Windows 7 machine. Install everything yourself from scratch. You're issues are almost certain to vanish. -
