So Slow as to be Unusable!

I installed the newest version of Firefox and it worked fine for two days. Now it is so slow and balky that it is unusable. Whenever I click on anything nothing happens. After a while I click again and then the screen fades to pale. When it comes back to its normal hue I click again and then it works. I can't use it this way.

  • IPhoto slowed to a crawl - unusable - help!

    hi
    I returned to use iPhoto for the first time in a couple of months - during which I've updated to 10.5.2 and the latest iPhoto updates - now it's slowed to a crawl to a point where it's unusable - simply scrolling brings up the beachball - nothing's changed besides these updates - last photos added were at christmas - used to work smoothly and slickly
    the library holds 7200 images - there's 30GB free on my 120GB hard drive
    what I did so far was trash the prefs - empty caches - then rebuild the library checking all the option boxes
    trashing the prefs and caches seems to help for a moment - on restarting iPhoto is more responsive for a minute or two but then soon gets jammed up again
    I'm on the road and can't reinstall until getting home in a couple of weeks - next step I guess
    been using macs since 1994, iPhoto since it's release - this has me stumped - anyone got any ideas?

    Are you sharing between two or more Macs? If so try turning sharing off - some folks have found that helps a lot
    Do you have Web Galleries that allow photos to be uploaded? It appears to me that that can slow things down while iPhoto syncs with the web galleries
    You do not have a large library (I have about 22,000 photos and Old Toad has even more) and you have adequate free disk space
    check turning sharing off if it is on and galleries syncing (you can see the little wheels spinning to the right of the web gallery name in the source pane) and see if there is anything else you think might contribute to the issue

  • FCPX 10.1.3 Extremely slow and unstable - totally unusable

    Hi there, I desperately need a fix for this.
    I recently updated my FCPX to 10.1.3 after a couple of weeks away on work, and now upon resuming work on projects I had been working on without any problems before, FCPX becomes unusable - it is slow, refuses to render, ends up hanging up my whole iMac until I eventually manage to force quit FCPX.
    I have tried deleting preferences on start up of FCPX but this has not helped.
    I am working on a couple of large corporate pieces on a tight deadline and now I can't so much as change a single title, whereas before I was flying through it.
    What the **** are Apple thinking?! This is a professional application (apparently) and I need it to function properly so that I can earn my bloody wages!
    Specs:
    Late 2013 27inch iMac
    3.4GHz i5
    24gb 1600MHz DDR3 RAM

    OSX 10.9.4
    Please somebody help, or give me a direct line to Apple support...
    Thanks!

    No  2 computers are exactly alike  .  .  .  everybody has them set up differently with different combinations of apps etc.
    There are an almost infinite number of permutations possible and some of these can cause conflicts with other apps or the computer itself.
    The fact that most people have no problems suggests that, assuming we can discount user error, there is probably some conflict occurring.
    As the permutations of computer setups can be almost limitless there is no way Apple or anyone else can guard against conflicts arising occasionally.
    This is one reason why warnings are given to back up everything and not to update apps in the middle of a project.
    There are a number of general troubleshooting strategies you can try:-

  • Creative cloud and Photoshop so slow as to be unusable.

    I have been having an ongoing problem with both Creative Cloud and Photoshop. Both programs have slowed down to the point of being inoperable. For example, it takes 1-5 minutes just to choose a tool in Photoshop. When either of these programs are open, it slows the entire computer to a snails pace. It was all working fine until about 2 months ago, when it suddenly stopped. I don't recall if there was an update at the time of the slowdown. The only change I remember making was adding some Kyle Webster brushes, but I removed those and the problem still exists.
    I have run a number of diagnostics and virus scans on my computer, and all show no problems with it. (I have a mid 2010 iMac) So far, I have increased the memory to 16 GB, reset the preferences in photoshop, and checked the other things listed on the help site. I have tried to uninstall/ reinstall both Photoshop and Creative cloud using the adobe cleaner app a number of times. With the assistance of some help center employees, the system preferences have been reset, we have cleared the .tmp files, created a new administrator user and tried to open it in that user to test if it is a permission problem. Nothing has worked and the problem seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong, or something else I can try? I am a designer with a growing backlog of work that needs this program, so I really need to solve this problem quickly.
    Thank you!!!

  • ICal is so slow it's almost unusable

    I've seen other people posting about iCal slowing down but haven't seen many answers.
    I use a Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5 with 4G RAM as my main computer, though I've got a MacBook Pro, two Powerbooks and sometimes an old Dual 1G G4 on my network as well. I'm updated on all my software and I use .Mac to sync everything but the G4.
    My problem is, I moved my whole life into iCal, scheduling my personal life and even keeping track of my billable hours through iCal and now the program has slowed down to a very frustrating speed. It literally takes 8 seconds to change a time from AM to PM. Changing an item from one calendar to another can take 12 to 20 seconds.
    In an earlier post by another user experiencing the same problem a responder suggested that maybe a Widget or some other program might be slowing iCal. I've tried running iCal alone without any other apps open. I've tried getting rid of every Widget and I've tried turning off iMac sync. I also tried, as someone suggested, Resetting the Sync history in iSync. Nothing. I've also tried disaling any calendars that are updated externally (Brewers' schedule, Packers' schedule). That didn't seem to make a difference either. I've also tried turning off any repeating dates and birthdays. Nothing seems to change the speed.
    Does anyone have any insight into where iCal might go for information or what programs might try to access iCal information. Are there any logical places where bottlenecks can exist? iCal hasn't always been slow. It seemed as though it was slowing down on my MacBook first. Now it's slow on any computer I use.
    I really don't want to go back to Microsoft but I can't live with this reduced speed.
    TIA,
    Peter

    Ugh, this is painful. I've tried to delete all of my recurring events, but the last one will NOT delete. My computer hangs, the laptop fan starts going, the computer gets super hot. Spinning ball. My plan was to delete all of my recurring events, and make new ones with end dates. But any time I click on this one event the program hangs. This is terrible.

  • After 6.01 update on Mac, Firefox runs way slow, and is almost unusable

    Running 10.5.8. After FF updated to the latest version, it is unbearably slow. Tried reinstalling, but it didn't help

    After the latest update, Firefox is much better. Using it again.

  • Firefox (3.6.6) has become so slow that it's unusable, especially with videos.

    I'm a long-time Firefox user. Suddenly, it's become so slow that I can't use it, even for simple browsing. Videos play but are so delayed and choppy that they are unwatchable. When Firefox is open, it slows down other applications as well. I've noticed that Plug-In Container uses a lot of memory, so I followed suggestions in https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/657035, including disabling plug-ins and installing only the latest version of Java (6.0.21), but there's been no improvement. I would appreciate any suggestions. Also, are Firefox developers working on this issue? If so, is there an estimate of when the problem might be resolved? Thank you.
    == This happened ==

    I'm about to get rid of this browser. It uses 1.5-2+Gb memory and it will freeze after some hours for no apparent reason. one time it is starting a movie, the other time it is when closing a tab. Exiting the proper way may take ages. Starting FF when a ghost process is still running; no stupid user! The only reason I use it is because of ad-block. Yes, got a fast machine, yes, up to date, yes, disabled and even uninstalled plugins, yes, applied about:config hacks-for-geeks, yes, still the same.

  • LG G3 Vigor - slow/unusable since Lollipop upgrade

    I've had the Vigor since February - it shipped with KitKat installed, and it ran fine. Shortly after I got it, it received an OTA upgrade to Android 5, and since that time the phone is so slow as to be unusable. Some apps (inlcuding basic fucntionality like phone call and text message) can take 20-30 seconds or more to come up. There have been times where I missed a phone call because the device did not respond to my attempt to answer it in time. Sometimes apps do come up faster, but overall performance is substantially worse than it was before the upgrade - and even worse than the Galaxy S3 it replaced.
    I am a fairly savvy android user - I have tried multiple things to impreove performance. I have reimaged the phone multiple times, cleared cache, tried running the phone with just the "factory" apps - nothing helps. I'm now trying multiple things to try and keep memory usage down and boost performance, but again - nothing I've tried has helped. I have the phone for work, but it is officially reaching the point where I can't rely on it to work if I need it. Is it possible the phone itself is defective?

    Hello there 
    I’m sorry you are experiencing phone issues after updating to Lollipop; I would be happy to assist you.
    You stated that you have tried many troubleshooting steps. You said you cleared cache, but did you clear all cached data?
    To wipe all app cache, follow these steps:
    From the home screen, tap Apps.
    Tap Settings.
    Select the General tab.
    Tap Storage.
    Wait for menu options to finish calculating.
    Tap Cached data, and then tap OK.
    Have you downloaded the LG Support Tool? The Support Tool allows you to create a backup and also download firmware updates. To download the free software click here.

  • Internet connection suddenly slow for iMac but OK for iPad and iPod

    A few days ago the  WIFI internet connection on my iMac suddenly became so slow as to be unusable. However my iPad and iPod Touch on the same network still connect as normal. I have tried everything I can think of together with some ideas posted on various forums, including the following:
    Rebooting and reformating the router - a Netgear DG834G v2
    Connecting the iMac to the router via ethernet cable
    Trying different channels on the wireless network
    Altering the physical position of the router
    Using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive on the iMac
    Using Disk Utility to repair permissions on the iMac
    Disconnecting the two external hard drives (one used for Time Machine) in case they were affecting performance
    Running anti-virus software on the iMac and deleting any infected files
    Disabling the anti-virus software
    Deleting the network location on iMac and creating a new one
    Trying different DNS servers including 208.67.222.222 / 208.67.220.220 and 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4
    Removing Skype from the iMac - the application my daughter was using when the connection suddenly became slow
    Trying to browse in both Safari and Firefox
    Resetting caches on the iMac
    Rebooting the iMac after trying all the above
    Swearing at the computer
    Pulling my hair out!
    None of these have made any difference. Sometimes when I reboot the iMac the first page I browse to loads reasonably quickly but then it immediately slows to a crawl again. The iPad is still connecting perfectly so I don't think it's an issue with the router.
    The iMac is a 24-inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Running OS X 10.7.5
    The hard drive has a capacity of 320 GB with 62 GB free.
    I'm at my wits' end trying to sort this out and don't know what else to try.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi BDAqua,
    In Disk Utility the disk is listed as S.M.A.R.T. Verified and comes up with no errors when checked.
    Activity Monitor: with no other applications open Activity Monitor itself is using the greatest percentage of the CPU at approx 3%. Opening Safari and trying to load a web page initially used about 20% but immediately dropped back to less than 1%.
    Whilst trying to open the web page I noticed on the Network tab that the Data received/sec is generally between 0-20 bytes/sec, sometimes jumps to a couple of hundred bytes/sec and very occasionally peaks at about 1,000 bytes/sec. Data sent/sec is generally mirroring data received.
    Free RAM is at 2.5 GB and free disk space is just short of 63 GB (out of a total capacity of 320GB).
    In Console I am getting the following messages:
    usbmuxd: AMDeviceConnect (thread 0x100781000): could not connect to lockdown port (62078) on device 6 - d81bda1a752c658f30b839f53ca2fdb6a55f4816: 0xe8000084

    Thanks for your help. It's really appreciated. By the way, it's taking me forever to type all this on my iPad!

  • My 2009 Macbook Pro is running very slow

    After installing Maverick on my 2009 Macbrook Pro initially the result was very slow, practically unresponsive and unusable. After investigating many reports of similar problems I have not found anything to rectify the problem. Have downloaded and reinstalled Maverick - have tried many suggestions but whilst currently marginally usable I am getting to the end of my patience and am very disapponted that it would not seem that Apple have sorted this problem out with an answer or even an apology. Please, please Apple sort yourseves out - you will cause yourselves iripairable damage if you continue to ignore the many problems that are being reported - this is my question to you - when and if will you sort this out please?

  • My computer is slow after upgrading to mavericks

    I just did the free upgrade to mavericks and now my laptop is running slow...ugh!!
    ran sophos for any threads and it was all clear. any suggestions???

    I am having the same issue with a year old iMac with an i7 and 12 gig of mem. The system is incredibly slow and is virtually unusable. Activity monitor shows most of the applications are not taking large percentages of processor loads.. But I get unresponsive applications and beach ball just doing simple things. Even clicks on button and such can have anywhere form a half second t a five second delay from time to time and it lasts for a few minutes. Disutility running repair permissions has no effect. Extreemly frustrating.

  • Streaming HD video from iMac to ATV2 too slow, but from iPhone4 works fine

    When streaming HD (720p) video from iTunes on my iMac (2006 2Ghz Intel Core Duo) to my ATV2 it is painfully slow. So slow as to be unusable (watch 2 minutes, wait 5 minutes of buffering, watch 2 minutes...and so on). However, if I stream the exact same HD video from my iPhone 4 via AirPlay to the ATV2 it works perfectly. There's hardly even any initial buffering delay. The iMac, ATV2 and iPhone 4 are all on the same 802.11g WiFi network. What the **** could be causing such a difference in data transmission speeds between iMac and iPhone 4??
    Is the AirPort in my iMac so much worse than the WiFi in my iPhone4?

    The file is decreased in size from the size you have in your library in order to load on the iPhone and play there.
    No, in this case the file is exactly the same size (1.95Gb). The iPhone 4 can handle 720p HD video.
    A g network is plenty fast enough to stream 720p HD, which requires 4-5Mbps, a tenth of what a g network is technically capable of. In any case, the fact that I could stream the exact same file from my iPhone to the ATV2 via wireless shows the network itself is not the problem.
    After doing some tests, it would appear that the wireless performance of the AirPort on my iMac is the culprit. My ISP connection is a 50Mbps fibre link, and in network speed tests my iPhone (sitting right next to my iMac) can get 8Mpbs whereas the iMac struggles to get 1Mpbs. Running ethernet to my iMac is not practical and in any case, the g network should be plenty fast enough for what I need. I need to try and figure out what's holding my iMac's AirPort back.
