Slow launch and intermittent freezing in Windows 8.1

Been trolling through the threads and cannot find a solution. I've also tried the QTMovieWin.dll solution but no change. I've also uninstalled, then went back and deleted all reminants of iTunes related files (incl. Bonjour, iCloud, etc), then re started the computer and re-installing the latest iTunes program (via run as administrator). I've done this several times to date. On each occasion I launch iTunes but it take at least 10minutes for it to launch, and when it is running it intermittently freezes for a couple of minutes or so. Problem is worse when I attach one of my devices, and then becomes a pig of a thing to complete certain tasks.
Has anyone come across this behaviour? As far as I'm aware the drivers are update, but are any specific drivers that I should double check?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello eycon
Try out the article below to troubleshoot your issue with iTunes freezing on you. Also check to make sure that when you removed iTunes, did you uninstall in the order of the second article as it does make a difference when troubleshooting the issue.

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

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups, despite being enable, and slow tracking and frequent freezing

Since the upgrade to 4.0.1, both of my mac osx computers get multiple popups and popunders, despite the block popups being enabled, as well as slow tracking(at regular card game sites, and frequent freezing of open windows.

Honestly I would never run both Win 7 & XP at the same time in a VM. 7 needs at least 4GB to run properly and uses more resources then XP.
I personally use VMware Fusion and XP. At this time there is no software, that I'm aware of or use, that does not run on XP. So for my Mac Win VM purpose I only run XP with the software in need to use in Windows. This work very well for me. I have 2 CPUs and 3GBs of RAM assigned to XP. Leaving the other 2 CPU cores, 4 HT cores, and 5GBs of RAM for OS X.
Not sure why you need, or want, to run both versions of Windows at the same time. I don't see the need as stated above.

Very slow launch and usage of Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator and inDesign.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and having major problems with my Adobe CC Suite. Takes forever to launch and once/if it does it is painfully slow. All my software is up to date, running yosemite, and Suitcase fusion 5, Experiencing the problems mostly with Illustrator, photoshop and inDesign. Any suggestions?

Moving the discussion to Illustrator.
Thanks,

Since updating a few days ago, Firefox suddenly doesn't work properly - it keeps getting very slow, within minutes of launching, and ultimately freezing/crashing. This is new - how do I go back to the previous (non-updated) version?

This has been occurring since the Sept 15 security update. Mozilla seems to be using 100%+ of my CPU.

Spinning Beach Ball and Intermittent Freezes

I've got an iMac running 10.6.2. For a little while I've had the occasional time when I would get the BBOD and things would kind of freeze up for a while. The pointer would move around. I could switch between windows and drag them around, but couldn't interact with them—close them, type in a field, etc. If I pressed command-option-esc the dialog wouldn't show up for several minutes. After several minutes everything I had tried to do during the stall would happen all at once—windows close, menus drop down, etc.
It has been happening more and more.
Tonight I tried to use the arrow keys to change my selected e-mail in mail app, but I got the "bonk" sound and no response. I tried to quit mail, but it wouldn't let me. Eventually my menu bar disappeared...the whole thing including the background was gone. My dock would come out of hiding, but selecting an app did nothing. Shift command Q did not log me out.
I had to hold down the power button and restart. The first time it just went to a blue screen and froze. The next time it went to a grey screen and froze. Then it took a very long time but rebooted.
Upon reboot I've had several freezes while trying to get to this site. However the last five minutes it has behaved.
So I don't know where to look or what to fix. Any ideas?

Thanks I'll try that. I also had this happen today:

Slow responsiveness and occasional Freezing 7.03

Good morning,
I continue to experience very slow loading of Quick Time, and subsequent use of all its features. Eg when using Picture Viewer it can take 60 seconds to load. When setting preferences it can take a similar length moving from one menu to another. CPU usages strains away at 100%. if watching a movie clip again it will take an age to load and then sometimes will freeze on play back, necessitating a reboot. I keep the system clean and up to date with Mcaffee and Microsoft Anti Spyware. This is the only programme I run where I have such problems. I'd be really grateful for any suggestions.

I'm going to give you several things you can try that can and does slow down XP.
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings, remove the Temp files from the following folders. Temp, Temporary Internet Files content IE, jpi_Cache [file] 1.0 and [jar] 1.0, Cookies, Recent. Remove the Temp files not the entire folder they are in!
C:\Windows\Prefetch, delete all the temp files in there except Layout ini.
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Temp\Cache, delete everything in there.
Defrag your Hard drive or drives.

Slow boot and eventual freeze of system

ok here is the low down, my computer is booting up fairly slow at times, and other times at normal speed. Sometimes it does not boot at all. When it does boot up, it appears to be running normally, then all of the sudden nothing happens. I can move the mouse but nothing is reacting. the programs do not respond, nothing that is supose to be animated moves, and essentially everything stops, except I can still move the mouse freely. I am getting about 15 min of good use out of it before it kills over and freezes up, that is if it will boot properly.
Is this a Hard Drive or system error and how would I go about getting my information off of the computer.

To get the information off the computer, if you can get it to boot, you should backup your data. There are many means of backing up data, though if you can't boot, Getting an external Firewire hard drive that is at least 80 GB, and Prosoft Data Rescue may be necessary if you haven't backed up. Prosoft Data Rescue can be found here:
http://www.prosofteng.com/
Once you know you have a complete backup of your data, you may want examine the drive's directory and see if it can be repaired following these instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
If it can't be repaired, you can either get Alsoft Disk Warrior from:
http://www.alsoft.com/
Or erase and install the operating system while there are no hard drive's connected externally, and upgrade back to 10.3.9 with the combo update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
If after doing that and not installing any third party peripherals or software it still is slowing down, then you may have a hardware issue which needs to be examined with the hardware test disk that came with your machine. I'm not certain, but I think all 17" Powerbooks have the hardware test as a second bootable volume on the restore disk that is bootable via the Startup Manager described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
Run the extended test, and report back the results if you end up having to go this far.

Installed OS X Maverick on Macs...having problems slower system and apps freezing

I installed and downloaded OS X Maverick last week and installed it in relatively new Macbook Pro and IMac...both purchased last year...have experienced applications freezing, slower start up time several times, once was unable to start my Macbook Pro...had to reboot..and slower system response...anyone else experiencing the same?

Checked to see how much space is available ??
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
As for slow startup, delete all apps in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Anti virus software can slow your Macs down if installed.

My Mac pro desktop is slow! And will freeze up.

I was trying to move a lot of pictures to another user to the shared file folder. During the process I quickly discovered that it was moving it to the desktop. So I stopped the process and that's when the computer froze up. I ended up restarting the computer but no luck. I even went as far to re install the operating software. I have looked in the activity monitor, desk repair, but nothing shows a problem. What's weird is that all the other users work fine. I didn't have the time maching turned on. The computer is only about a year old with tons of free space. Some of the programs work ok before the desktop fills up. Is there a cache that I can empty? I don't have too many apps or even use the computer all that much. Please help I am somewhat new to Apple, but a fan for life!

Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
You may now be able to log in and move the files off the Desktop. Then reboot as usual.

Slow Launch and Scan of iPhoto Videos

When I launch iMovie 11 (9.0.4), the app launches very quickly, but then beachballs for over a minute while my iPhoto Videos load. Previously, iMovie would ask if I'd like to build thumbnails and I'd answer no, and then manually import only the videos I wanted to work with. Now, I'm never prompted to build thumbnails and it seems iMovie is scanning my iPhoto library everytime the app launches.
Is this normal behaviour for 9.0.4 and is there any way to speed things up?

Someone else was having a related, though not quite the same issue with iPhoto Videos. I did a lookup on Google to see what some people recommend and found this on the MacRumours forums: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=477746. It seems pretty drastic to pull the videos out of iPhoto just to get them to disappear in iMovie, but that's what one person that forum was suggesting. It would be way better if there was a switch that turned off the monitoring of the iPhoto Video folder in iMovie, that's for sure.

Slow, Very, slow navagating and screen freeze's through menu screens.

The other day I Purchased AV RCA cables from the Apple store. I took them home and hooked my Ipod up to my TV. Later I downloaded rental from Itunes, and then noticed my I pod would freeze over and over even after 4 resets. Then I went to my settings and saw that my memery was at 0kb. I know for a fact that yesterday I had around 30gb, and now I have nothing. Can anyone that may have gone through this tell me what is going on. I'm so lost. Thanks

Sharpeiboy,
First thing is please correct your profile, there is no such thing as a iMac G5 Intel. Either your machine is a G5 which is PPC based or it's an Intel iMac.
However where I would check first is how much available disk space you have. In Finder right click iMac HD in the left pane and choose Get Info. Mac's need a minimum of 10-15% of the HD space available in order to operate well. If you have over 15% then look over 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac, chances are the solution is in there.

Windows 8.1 slow restart and logons.

Hey,
We are experiencing slow logons and system restarts with Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 3 device.
When the issue occurs the event id 7011 if logged consistently in the event log with a number of service timeouts.
Have read that Microsoft recommends increasing the time out period via a registry key to 60000 milliseconds but this does not resolve the issue.
The issue occurs randomly but when is occurs the events are logged in the system log.
All patches and firmware are up to date and device is domain joined.
The services startup options are set correctly.
Hitting a brick wall with this one so any assistance appreciated.
The DNS Client
service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not
respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
A timeout (30000
milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the
Dnscache service.
A timeout (30000
milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the
NlaSvc service.
The Netlogon service
depends on the Workstation service which failed to start because of the
following error:
The service did not
respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
The Workstation
service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not

Hi,
For this problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you make Clean boot to check if this problem caused by 3rd program or service startup with system caused this problem.
Clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If problem persists, it would be better to use boot trace tool to caputer Windows startup trace log.
You can refer to the contents of the link below to collect the boot trace log, then upload these log file log to your Sharing Space and post the download link here.
