My mac has slow performance when running two or more applications, ran onyx and cleaned cache but my macbook is still running slow. Recommendations?

I've had my MacBook White running on Mac OSx 10 for about 2 years. My sister has the same type of MacBook and she isn't having any slow performance. I really don't want to install RAM and that can't be the end all be all of solutions. Please help!!

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Slow performance when running non-swing Application?

I created a very simple GUI Application with some buttons. The App is sitting on a UNIX box and I am running it from my local PC. I have Hmmingbird Exceed running. It seems to come up very slowly. I am specifically not using any swing components. Is this normal? Anything I can do to speed it up? Thanks...

Regardless of whther it's a Java or a Hummingbird
issue, I think this is a valid place to ask for help
about this since the odds of there being someone else
here having conquered this same problem would be
rather high.Yep, people have the problem. I have had the problem. I haven't seen anyone that claims a solution.
>
I would also guess that there isn't much of any wayto speed it up.
What I don't understand is why the behavior of the
Java app on the Unix box is quite fast and yet the
redraw on the Exceed clent is excruciating slow. This
effect does seem to be present with our older apps
written in other languages.
Why would Exceed treat a Java app differently than one
written in any other language? I don't get it.
I believe someone at some time suggested it has to do with the way java interacts with the unix environment. But my memory on the subject is very fuzzy and the person explaining might not have known what they were talking about.
Of course I question the wisdom of running a GUIapplication written > in a language that is portable
across platform via a remote access
program in the first place.What is so unwise about it? The customer will run the
app in Unix. I have a PC on my desk. I use exceed to
connect to a Unix box to test behavior in Unix on my
PC. Sounds wiser than walking halfway accross the
company to sit in front of the Unix box.
Testing, of course, should only be done in the environment that will actually be run.
Admittedly I might be overly sensitive to this as I worked on a project where a customer complained about the same thing. Given that the contract did not specify running via hummingbird there was no grounds for complaint.

Slow Performance when program was once 100% proficient

I am working on a 2011 Macbook Pro - OS X version 10.9.5
For over a year I have been working in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on this computer with no issues. Recently the program began running EXTREMELY slow - for example., taking well over an hour to render video that previously would render in only a minute or two. Went to Apple - thinking it was my MAC - diagnostics on the MAC show the computer itself is fine.
Purchased Premiere Elements 13 (liked the new features and offerings) and was naively hoping it would fix my slow performance issue.
But program is still running horribly slow.
Any suggestions or similar issues?

laurabodey
Premiere Elements 11 or 13 on Mac Computer.
Which program do you want to troubleshoot first?
Let us assume Premiere Elements 11....
1. Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk
Where are the Scratch Disk pointing and how much free space is at that location
Please assure a clean up of any pile ups of any preview files (Adobe Premiere Elements Previews File Folder), conformed audio files (Media Cache Files Folder), and conformed audio (best cleaned out through Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database area Clean button.
2. Download, install, and run the free ccleaner.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac
3. How much installed RAM does you computer have? Are your source media stored on external hard drive (with the appropriate formatting for Mac)?
4. Does the information in online articles such as the following make any impact on your situation?
Seven ways to free up drive space | Macworld
Let us start here and then decide what next.
I am strictly and Elements Windows user who tries to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to address some of these issue. So, I am
not all that great on Mac locations. Please help me translate from Windows to Mac if necessary.
We will be watching for your results.

What is the best spec to run multiple programs with photographs? Includes: Lightroom, PhotoMechanic, and Internet DAM system?

What is the best spec to run multiple programs with numerous photographs? Includes: Lightroom, PhotoMechanic, and Internet DAM system?
For a Macbook Pro. What's the least amount I need to process, upload, download images using these 3 programs?

That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop. I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance. When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive. Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
My Documents
Desktop
Downloads
Look at Bridge cache
iTunes backup
Other stuff like that.
Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch. Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours). If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it. You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

Have exact same issue on my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

Duplicate emails in Junk E-Mail folder when running multiple Outlook clients

Has anyone experienced problems when running multiple Outlook clients - and a junk e-mail is received?
We are seeing that when a user is running 3 Outlook clients (2007/2010) - and they received a junk email - Outlook seems to take that email and movie to the folder. However, with 3 clients, there end up being 3 copies of the email.
Mail clients are Outlook 2007/2010 running in native Exchange mode (no IMAP, POP, etc). Server is Exchange 2010 SP1, RU2.
Antivirus is McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i - but we believe that the problem occurs even with it disabled.

hi, we also faced the same issue.
we had a common mailbox that is accessed from different workstations, and the outlook profile is set to cached mode. when a junk mail is received, it will create duplicates according to the number of outlook clients, as what jbuschmann mentioned. Is this
a known issue in outlook 2010? Understand there's a fix for outlook 2003 for a similar issue, is there a similar fix for outlook 2010? thanks!

ZBook 17 g2 - poor DPC Latency performance when running from z Turbo Drive PCIe SSD

I'm setting up a new zBook 17 g2 and am getting very poor DPC latency performance (> 6000 us) when running from the PCIe SSD. I've re-installed the OS (Win 7 64 bit) on both the PCIe SSD and a SATA HDD and the DPC latency performance is fine when running from the HDD (50 - 100 us) but horrible when running from the PCIe SSD (> 6000 us). I've updated the BIOS and tried every combination of driver and component enabling/disabling I can think of. The DPC latency is extremely high from the initial Windows install with no drivers installed. Adding drivers seems to have no effect on the DPC latency. Before purchasing the laptop I found this review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-HP-ZBook-17-E9X11AA-ABA-Workstation.106222.0.html where the DPC latency measurement (middle of the page) looks OK. Of course, this is the prior version of the laptop and I believe it does not have the PCIe SSD. Combining that with the fact that I get fine performance when running from the HDD I am led to believe that the PCIe SSD is the cause of the problem. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? As it stands right now my zBook is not usable for digital audio work when running from the PCIe SSD. But it cost me a lot of money so I'd sure like to use it...! Thanks, rgames

Hi mooktank, No solution yet but, as of about six weeks ago, HP at least acknowledged that it's a problem (finally). I reproduced it perfectly on another zBook 17 g2 and another PCIe SSD in the same laptop and HP was able to reproduce the problem as well. So the problem is clearly in the BIOS or with some driver related to the PCIe SSD. It could also be with the firmware in the drive, itself, but I can't find any other PCIe drives in the 60 mm form factor. So there's no way to see if a differnt type of drive would fix the problem. My suspicion is that it's related to the PCIe sleep states - those are known to cause exactly these types of problems because the drive takes quick "naps" to save power and there's a delay when it is told to wake back up. That delay causes a delay in the audio buffer that results in pops/crackles/stutters that would never be noticed doing other tasks like video editing or CAD work . So it's a problem specific to folks who need low-latency audio performance (very few apps require low latency audio - video editing, for example, uses huge buffers with relatively high latency). A lot of desktops offer a BIOS option to disable those sleep states but no such option exists in HP's BIOS for that laptop. In theory you can do it from within Windows but it doesn't have an effect on my system. That might be one of those options that Windows allows you to change but that actually has no effect. One workaround is to disable CPU throttling. That makes the CPU run at full speed all the time and, I believe, also disables the PCIe and other sleep states. When I disable CPU throttling, DPC latency goes back to normal. However, the CPU is then running full-speed all the time so your battery life basically goes to nothing and the laptop gets *very* hot. Clearly that is not necessary because the laptop runs fine from the SATA SSD. HP needs to fix the latency problem associated with the PCIe drive. The next logical step is to provide a BIOS update that provides a way to disable the PCIe sleep states without disabling CPU throttling, like on many desktop systems. The bad news is that HP tech support is not very technical, so it takes forever for them to figure out what I'm talking about. It took a couple months for them to start using the DPC Latency checker. Hopefully there will be a fix at some point... in the meantime, I hope that HP sends me a check for spending so much time educating their techs on how computers work. And for countless hours lost re-installing different OSes only to show that the performance is exactly the same as shown in the DPC Latency checker. rgames

Crystal report run from ASP code significantly slower than when run in CRS

We have CRS XI R2. I developed a report that contains several on-demand sub-reports. The report and sub-reports are very fast when run directly from CRS. However, when I run from ASP (users run a link from the intranet), it takes 4 times longer (1 second on CRS, vs. 5-10 seconds on intranet). The report takes longer, bringing up a sub-report takes longer and paging through sub-reports take longer. What can be done to improve the speed of the report that is using the ASP code? I used a sample program provided at this support site to develop the report and it is pretty basic code. The only time I have a problem is when I have many sub-reports. Since they are on-demand, I do not know why this would matter.

This has been created as an incident with SAP support. Things that you will want to check is making sure that you handle the postback to the code as you do not need to run your entire code on every postback. This will help performance after the original load.
One other thing is to compare performance with the viewer within Infoview that uses the same backend server as your application, ie PSReportFactory uses the page server, so you'll want to test with the DHTML viewer. RAS code (reportclientdocument) uses the Report Application Server so you will want to test with the Advanced DHTML viewer.

Windows 7 is Error reporting when running a program generated with in Labview LV 7.1!

Dear Labviewer's
Once back in the yaers I'd generated a program with - Labview 7.1.
Now I'm informed that the version LV 7.1 is not supported by Windows 7.
Now when i try to run the Program generated by Labview 7.1. in windows 7 , I get communication error by the serial port.
Is there somehow somthing I can do to get this work. Is there any Runtime engines From NI for Windows 7.?
Please Feed back if anyone got info for help.
4 Stars ...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you installed a newer version of the NI-VISA runtime engine that will work with Windows 7?
The most recent on the NI website appears to be version 5.0.3.

Slow performance when resizing windows

Hi I have a macbook pro 2.2ghz with 2gb ram. Certainly capable of resizing windows, however when I resize windows I get very poor performance. I always have to wait for the window to redraw on screen. This is unacceptable. This powerful of a machine can't resize windows in real time? I'm running Tiger 10.4.11. Is this normal behavior? Anyone else experience this? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

That's not right. What happens when you run your visualizer in iTunes? You should be able to get 60 FPS. Try running your hardware tester once and see if you may have a graphics problem.

Issues when running multiple apps on same JRE?

I've created an application that launches other Java applications, all running on the same JRE. I've noticed that this results in significant memory savings (60% or more). Performance doesn't seem to be measurably affected, but I've never run more than 4 applications at the same time on the same JRE.
Does anyone know of any performance issues in situations like this? JRE limitations? Any information would be appreciated.

"It's just not obvious from the 1.3 API docs that the classLoader is what's responsible for associating a set of classes with a set of threads."
No, that's not what I was implying. The default classloader caches the definition of previously loaded classes (ie, bytecode, static variables). By default, there is no way to unload a class. Static variables will also retain their values -- which could confuse an application that is run multiple times.
This is the suggested implementation defined in the JVM spec:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/html/ConstantPool.doc.html
Basically, if a class has already been loaded, it returns it. You can write your own custom classload to prevent this (as the link you found suggests) or use multiple classloaders.
Imagine what happens when you write an application and then recompile a class WHILE running your application. Will the next instance of that class be updated? The answer depends on whether your classloader will reload the class from disk, or use a cached instance in memory (as the default one does).

Macsafe 85w still not enough when running Heavy program on Macbook pro 2011 Quad Core

Is there any official announcement from apple on how macsafe 85w works & design flow or diagram..??
We know the magsafe 85w is not enough to run macbook pro quad core i7 and their family.. But there must be some reason why apple only allow maximum 85w only.. rite
I run this multiple test on my Macbook Pro early 2011, 17" 2.2 Quad core i7, 8G ram, to proving that the 85W is not enough.
-Im running this test on both OSX & win 7
-the battery capacity is 20% when i running this test
-the power adapter "macsafe" is plugin when i run this test
1) macsafe 85w turn to green to stop charging when rendering HD movie in Final Cut pro 7 in OSX ( but then it will turn to orange to charged again after you cancel the render)
2) macsafe 85w turn to green to stop charging when playing high graphic game such "Razor F1 2010" in Win 7 ( but then it will turn to orange to charged again after you quit the game)
3) macsafe 85w turn to green to stop charging when editing AVCHD on Sony vegas Pro 10 in Win 7 (it will turn to orange to charged again after you quit the program)
4) when the baterry reach 100%. then I run all of 3 heavy program above.. the baterry will drain slowly until 93% then it turn to orange to charging again.
(this will happen only when you run heavy program) 85w macsafe itself also not enough to run these program.. still need little battery support..
As i know this will happen to all macbook pro since before Quad core model. You must run heavy program, then you can determin this systoms..
Lastly, I really hope that all of this symtoms are the "macsafe work design", & not the macsafe fault... & really hope this symtoms will not damage the battery because regullaly charge on & off.
Maybe This is why new macbook pro design,, you cannot take out the battery... It still need the battery support also, while plugin..
Thanks &
Sorry broken english..

"Maybe This is why new macbook pro design,, you cannot take out the battery... It still need the battery support also, while plugin.."
Yes — but only when you're working the machine very hard. Most of the time, 85W is ample.
"But,, we need the official announce by apple regarding this issue"
No you don't. That's how it works. What good would an announcement from Apple do you?

Ridiculously Slow Performance when Movie Scoring - brand new macbook

Hello there guys ! Sorry for my bad english, i will try to do my best.
The title almost says it all. I have a brand new Intel Core Duo Macbook (White, 2ghz, 512 ram, I haven't added any extra ram or anything).
The machine is blazing fast, I am really loving the experience. But when it comes to using a feature I would love to use everyday, it disappointed me. The movie score feature in Garage Band 3. So, I create a very simple movie in iMovie HD 6, capturing video from my fireware camera.
It is a very simple video, no soundtracks, just the original sound that came with the camcorder footage. No stills, reverse, slow-motion, effects or anything. Plain video with sound, just the way it came from the camcorder.
The problem is when creating a movie scoring project with that footage in garageband 3 , the performance is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW. I mean, I press space and the movie strats playing after 1,5 seconds, and the video is halting every other second. It is so laggy that when i press space again to stop the video, the motion continues for another 1,5 seconds until it pauses.
There's absolutely no way to do any work in conditions like that. And the strange thing is that when using garage band to do other stuff, or when working in iMovie with that same movie there's no lag at all. I have even edited 30 minute long videos with effects and soundtracks in iMovie and it was blazing fast, no lag, no halting.
But in Garagaband even the simplest of all videos gets this ultra-slow performance, and it makes me wonder why.
- I have tried desabling recording on the audio track in garageband. I have tried to lock the track. I have done all the steps in the optimizing garage band performance in the help. I don't have firevault activated.
Any help ? Does anyone have a macbook just like mine that is able of doing moving scoring ? Because EVERYTHING ELSE is ultra fast, including video and audio editing, but when movie scoring it *****.
Apple Macbook 13inch 2.0ghz Core Duo 512 60GB White SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Ha! It's funny really - you say it all yourself; no extra ram, it doesn't come with enough to run Pro Apps and when you start to use the Scoring feature you are accessing two different functions - playing movies and music tracks - movies are always a stress unless they are very small and the Right Codec - so first up - what format is your movie? Do you have Quicktime Pro? if the answer is No - get it, it's not expensive and it gives your machine many extra abilities - you can then convert your footage to something easy to play.
How many tracks are you working with?
Get more RAM - MacIntel or MacPro needs 4-6 gigs to multi-task happily - with only the base load of RAM it can't.
I have a DP 2 Ghz G5, no where near as fast as yours but I have 4.5 GBs of RAM and a fast graphics card with 512Mbs VRAM - this means Motion and FCP can fly.
We are about to get a MacPro 2.66 Dual with 6 GBs RAM, essential.
Hope this helps.

It has an error when run a program in background job
