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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • My mac shows very colourful patterns and completely freezes my system. This bEgan after rendering footage went sour. My mac tries to restart itself but never works. Please help!

    hey team? My MacBook Pro is completely lame after rendering footage out of Adobe premier pro cc14 ( the legit one).
    2.6ghz 8 gig ram and 1 terabyte. The footage was 4k go pro stuff. since then and now every time i successfully turn on my mac; patterns appear and violently change as if possessed. It is actually quite impressive. The one thing I remembet doing was in limiting the kb per second from the 10,000 to unlimited. this I fear may have caused my computer to burn eight theoug  the graphics card.
    I Took it to a place to get fixed ( core ) in New Zealand - who couldn't determine anything theafter because they never had the glitch when try used it. Still chargede though- So never use them.
    Thoughts?  Please : /

    Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

  • [Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

    Hello,
    Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
    As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
    It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
    I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
    I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance
    Last edited by Neldar (2015-03-04 15:54:29)

    It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

  • Ever since I updated my ipad2 and iphone5 to ios8, both devices are running slow, apps take forever to download (Google is STILL downloading on both), and they freeze/crash.  This is VERY frustrating!  Anyone else having the same problems?

    Had same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release.  I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup.  That seemed to fix my issues.  I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.

  • 10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

    My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely.  When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again.  Any idea what the problem is?  Here is my EtreCheck report:

    Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing.  I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now. 
    I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
    Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee.  I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them. 
    So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

  • Slow restart - blue screen BSOD and Boot Camp restart issue

    After Snow Leopard install on Macbook Pro I have experienced a very slow startup and restart. The grey apple screen appears for about 25 secs and then the blue screen hangs for 2mins and 2 secs. Also when restarting from Boot Camp blue screen just stays and restart fails. I waited approx 25 mins and blue screen was still there. I have searched Console system log for clues but am not technically adept. hopefully someone can help. I have copied log below form recent restart (in OSX mode, not boot camp). My Windows Boot camp volume is called ERICGLPC and I can see some issue on the log but unsure what it means.

    Without that, it could have been anything.
