Slow running after install of 10.4.4

Since installing Tiger several applications either don't respond at all, or respond slowly to file>open or file>new. Just get spinning RGB wheel. Sometimes this behavior abates with restart. Do I have to re-install Tiger? The apps (CS, MicroOff, Stuffit)?

Well... Stuffit has been known to TOTALLY slow down when an internet connection to its server is not available -- once when their server went down, no one was able to unstuff anything. There is a Terminal command that will tell Stuffit to NOT attempt a connect all the time. Open up a Terminal Window and type:
defaults write com.stuffit.Expander allowVersionChecking -bool NO
See if that affects how Stuffit behaves. If it's convenient, try pulling your internet cable (or wireless card) and see if the apps open more quickly... there are several that open very very slowly at times because they are looking around for things on the local network (e.g. Dreamweaver, Peak 4).

Slow down after installing Lion OS

My Macbook pro later than 2009 model slowed down after installing the new OS Lion
any suggestions to speed it up

First suggestion ,there have been a number of identical user questions like yours, in the Lion Community. If you want to talk to other MacBook Pro owners, try the forum they have.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro
What you do not need is some gizmo to "speed up" or clean caches etc.
Maybe you need to make more room on your hard drive, or add more RAM.
For now, hold down Command-R and run Disk Utility to check the health of your system drive (Lion Recovery Mode)

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

Slow operations after installing Mavericks

Slow operations after installing Mavericks. How can this be changed to faster operations?

jlgapple,
whenever a new version of OS X is installed, Spotlight will spend some time reïndexing the boot disk to update its metadata on the updated files in OS X. If Spotlight has finished its reïndexing, have you ensured that all of your third-party apps, plug-ins, kernel extensions, &c. are compatible with Mavericks?

Very slow boot after installing 10.10.3

insanely slow boot after installing 10.10.3, it takes 10times longer compare to 10.10.2, using MBA 2014

Open System Preferences, select Startup Disk, and make sure your internal drive is selected as the startup disk. Then click restart!
This worked for me, personally with the same issue.
Good luck!

I am having problems with slowness, too - ever since installing the latest Yosemite update I downloaded a few days ago. EVERYTHING - Safari, QuickTime, MS Word for Apple, the DVD Player, everything - runs slowly and I get the "rainbow pinwheel of frustration". It's taken me three minutes to type these few sentences. It's really starting to frustrate me. Here is my EtreCheck report:
Problem description:
Since I installed the latest Yosemite update (10.10.2), EVERYTHING runs slowly. I get the rainbow pinwheel whenever I click on anything on Safari, and have trouble typing via Safari; videos stop and start on QuickTime; MS Word for Apple runs slowly - EVERYTHING seems to be slowed down. It took four minutes to get the above sentences typed. Please help me escape the “rainbow pinwheel of failure”!

Slowing up after installing Lion OSX

Since I got Lion OSX, my mac has been really slow to start up. When I bought my Macbook, One thing I was really surprised over was how fast it was to start up, like within 10 sec. it was ready to use, but now, especially after installing Lion OSX, it take more than 1 min. What can I do, to make it start up faster?
Thank you for your help
- Tarek

Maybe you are running some system tool that is incompatible with Lion. Double check your Startup Items, and compare with this page here:

Tomcat seems couldn't run after installing Oracle 8.0.6

After installing Oracle 8.0.6, my Tomcat seems couldn't startup. I have set the environment variable for JDBC and Oracle driver like: Classpath = .;c:\orant\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip and path = c:\jdk1.3\bin;c:\orant\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip. However, before installing Oracle, Tomcat was running smoothly. Is installing Oracle make mess between Tomcat and Oracle? Or, is the environment variables are set incorrectly? Please help me to solve the problem. and how to make database connection to Oracle using JSP(Tomcat). Your advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Add a reference to the oracle driver zip file (classes12.zip) to the classpath in the batch file that runs tomcat (i.e. tomcat.bat).
Then, the architectural decision is all yours. You can define a database access layer...
I'd look in to the model 2 architecture if you want to learn how to do this. There are loads of references, none of which I have to hand, but try searching the JDC, there's bound to be plenty.
On the other hand, if you want a quick and dirty solution, then model 1 is the way to go.
Cheers,

Freemind won't run after install, can't find Java

Hi,
I attempted to install freemind using the following command:
pacman -S freemind
It installed along with the relevant Java dependency.
When I try to run freemind I get the following error:
which: no java in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin)
ERROR: Couldn't find a java virtual machine,
define JAVACMD, JAVA_BINDIR, JAVA_HOME or PATH.
When I attempt to run 'freemind.jar' via java itself using the following command:
/opt/java/jre/bin/java freemind.jar
I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: freemind/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: freemind.jar

Could not find the main class: freemind.jar. Program will exit.
Any help would be much appreciated

I can run Freemind - no problem. I have (previously) installed Java using jdk package
There are two possible problems:
1) Program's execute file is /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh - it's shell script, so you will have to run it from terminal using command
bash /usr/share/freemind/freemind.sh (it's how I ran it)
Remember - you can't (usually) run Java programs from *.jar files, because Java has to have declared some variables first (that's what that shell script is for - Windows are using their typical exe files for running Java programs )
2) You don't have correct Java. There are two types of Java: opensource (openjdk) and "original" Java from Sun. openjdk is (fully) opensource, but lacks some of Sun's Java features, but because it's opensource, it's generally favourized (hope that it's the correct word) in Linux and Java-dependent packages in Arch usually installs that.
Try uninstall both Freemind and whatever Java you are using now and install first java from Sun (packages jre and jdk, jdk is mostly for Java developers and should not be needed to run programs) and then install Freemind.
Edit: It's possible that you will need to restart computer after installing Java (but probably not)

Some applets fail to run after installing jre 1.5/5.0

Hi,
I have a big problem. After installing java runtime environment 5.0 / 1.5, some java applets from sites no longer work. I can view certain java applets, but strangely, some applets do not work. For example, when I try to log into the Hushmail account <www.hushmail.com>, the applet fails to load properly. I enabled tracing and logging and this is the output from the console:
basic: Registered modality listener
security: Accessing keys and certificate in Mozilla user profile: <Note: PATH removed for security reasons>
security: JSS package is not found
security: JSS is not configured

Strangely, there is a message "JSS package is not found" from the console output above. What is this error and how do I rectify the problem so that I can view all applets without any problems?
This is my system configuration:
Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4
Java Runtime Environment 1.5
Mozilla 1.7.3

Probably due to Mozilla configuration, see this search:
