Songs all of a sudden seem slower to import

Have an HP m8200n PC- noticed that just recently, when I import songs into iTunes from CD, sometimes they import much slower than usual..and it looks like the sample rate when importing seems to show a lower rate than normal. Usually they go zoomzoomzoom when importing. Is it the CD? Does the condition of the CD affect how fast they get burned? (These are all fairly well-played CDs checked out from library.)

Where are you importing from? Disk, card in reader, card in camera, other?
Whenm you say you have no prolems with the other applications is that with the exact same setup (card, images on card, import method) as with Aperture when you get the error?
Have you tried reformatting the card?

Safari all of a sudden very slow on one account

I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.0.5 and all of a sudden Safari slowed to a crawl on one account. It takes more than a minute to load a page. Other apps are not having any problems. After trying many things, including deleting Safari and reinstalling it, I read on another post to try and create a new account to see if Safari worked on that account. Viola! It works great on the newly created account.
What might possibly be the problem on my other account? I did not make any changes. However, I have several children who use the iMac and they might have done something. I am not running any extensions. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

Update Safari > Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard
Restart your Mac after the update is installed then try Safari.
If Safari is still running slow...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Macbook Pro all of a sudden very slow.

My Macbook Pro has all of a sudden become very slow. The rainbow wheel shows up about every minute, and battery life has reduced a lot. I lost about 10% of my battery life within 10 minutes. It freezes all of the time. I recently upgraded to mountain lion about a month ago and everything has been fine since about 2 days ago. Any ideas on what it could be?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Email all of a sudden incredibly slow to download, show on screen

Over the past 13-14 hours, whenever I attempt to access my email via my iPhone 3GS, the inbox screen remains blank for an extended period of time before finally showing up on screen. Prior to that time, it was almost instantaneously showing previous email while it searched for new.
Any reason this could be happening all of a sudden?
Could it be just the normal Xmas overload of the Internet?
Could I be running some sort of app in the background that is slowing things down (I did download a new app yesterday)?
Anyone got an attempted solution?
Thanks in advance.

Common fix to most performance issues:
Reboot. Not turn off and on but reboot as described in manual.
Hold BOTH the HOME and LOCK buttons.
DO NOT let go when it says slide to turn off, KEEP HOLDING.
Screen will blank. DO NOT let go.
When you see the Apple Logo, then you can let go.

My iMac is all of a sudden very slow - help?

My iMac is all of a suddden very slow and the incoming gmail is no longer working. However my incoming mail works fine on my iPad and other devices? The slowness is on every thing?

First question to ask is: how much free space is still available on your hard drive?

bumping because I dont know what to do

All of a sudden SUPER SLOW!!! Why?

For no apparent reason my Powerbook G4 1.5ghz with 1.5gb RAM just started doing EVERYTHING super slow. Annoyingly slow. Clicking on the bookmarks menu in Safari took 10 seconds for the color wheel to stop spinning and to display the small to medium sized list of book marks. I just restarted and zapped the PRAM and tried to log in, and typing in my password took at least 5 seconds to acknowledge that I had even typed in the first 2 characters of my password.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I zapped the PRAM, did a disk utility verify and it was good. I checked the activity monitor and nothing out of the ordinary...
The only thing I've done differently is downloaded and installed Google Earth, which, if that is the source, I'd gladly remove it. Is there a way to uninstall a program so there are no lingering files?
I have the higher RPM drive, 80gb and it's 1.5gb away from full, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Please help... This $2600 computer is far too young to be replaced.
Scott

Hi Scott --
Sorry to hear about that. Seems from a MacFixIt article linked to on Applejack's home page (written byu Dan FDrakes) that Applejack is a pretty powerful program, that has both serious pros and cons: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=2005041817191411
I found a MacFixIt discussion thread that appears to outline the steps needed to delete Applejack from one's computer -- they reference the readme that accompanies Applejack.
Of course, these steps may not be of use to you can't start your machine properly. ;-(
Maybe you could try starting your machine in Safe Mode: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 ; http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393 Then, perhaps you'd be able to delete Applejack and restart your machine properly.
All of which, if successful, will bring you back to where you started, which (imo) is when you need to begin freeing up some hard drive space.
Well, hopefully Apple's phone support will help you recover your system. I would, of course, try all of their suggestions first.
Please post back how everything turns out.
Good luck.

All of a sudden Very Slow Printing and Print to PDF

I am running OSX 10.4.11 on A G4. I was having no trouble printing to a HP2500. The time to print or print to a PDF was fast from all my applications. I am focusing on InDesign CS for this discussion. I changed recently to a HP 3600N and also to 10.4.11. Now it takes 1 hour to prepare a 28 page color document for printing. Once job is sent to the printer it takes about 3 minutes to actually print it. The slow rendering of the document also occurs when creating a PDF using the Print dialog. I tried the 2500 as a test and found the same problem. It appears that 10.4.11 is the culprit. I tried the same document on my iMac running an older OSX and I had no problem. I wish I had my back up drive still on 10.4.9 so I could check that out but alas I backed up and now have the 10.4.11 OS mirrored on that drive.
I am out of business until I can resolve this problem.
Eagerly awaiting advice!
Dan

Drive A is 60 GB with 3.66GB free.
Running OSX from that drive should really slow it to a Crawl, and is getting to the dangerous point... you need at least 12GB fre, 30 GB would be better.
Nt certain why the other is so slow... did you open Activity Monitor & observe CPU, Memory & such while it is slow?
If you can free some space on the Internal, Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Have you tried playing something in Quicktime and Windows media player?

My printers have become all of a sudden very slow over my network when used with my Macbook. What could this indicate ?

My two printers on my network (HP 8500 All in one Officejet and Lexmark Pro 805) have become very slow with processing and printing my documents. When printing, they have also made it not possible to do other applications on my Macbook until finished printing. WHat does ths point in the direction of ?

Empty your print queue of excess print jobs that didn't go through.
If you are within 1500 feet (500 meters) of someone who might connect wirelessly, make sure any wireless network you have is WPA2 encrypted, and not using 802.11b. Reboot the printers, and any routers they may be connected to.

Some more information will be very helpful.
Which version of OS X is running?
What happened last before the MacBook became slow?
Software installed or deleted?
Other major changes on the system?

My computer is all of a sudden super slow! What's up and what to do???

I've been working on a massive project in iMovie. Downloading from my camera and DVDs. Somewhere along the line it said my hard drive was getting full. So I set up the external drive I bought when I bought my computer (but which I had never used yet). I dragged my project to the external drive and continued working.
But now everything is really slow and weird. It always took only a few seconds to turn my computer on. Now it takes like 5 minutes or something crazy. I don't know what to do!
(OK, I just got my computer on, but the hard drive isn't showing up. I'll post this and restart the computer, hopefully the hard drive will show up and the computer will come on...)

Always leave at least 15% of free space on your hard drive and don't ever, ever ignore warnings that it is getting too full. A disk without adequate free space can easily result in some extremely nasty, non-recoverable disk errors. iMovie and most other graphics/video programs use temporary files (scratch files) when you edit that can suck disk space like a black hole. iMovie will use the disk where you first save your project for scratch space so make sure that disk or partition has plenty of free space. If you are working with large graphic files it makes sense to keep the scratch space for them on a partition or an external other than where your system resides.
Back up your internal hard drive immediately. It's also a good idea to have a second backup of any mission critical data. After you are absolutely sure that you have a rock solid backup use Disk Utility to repair your internal hard drive. If any errors are reported keep repeating the repair process until Disk Utility gives your internal a clean bill of health.

Computer suddenly ridiculously slow. Please read, and help if you can.

Problem description:
I very recently did a clean install of Yosemite, and everything was going great, but all of a sudden, everything slowed down like crazy today. The cursor moves slow. Clicks take MINUTES to register, and Chrome, Firefox, and Safari lock up completely. If I don’t start Activity Monitor and have in running in the front pane to see what is happening, it becomes impossible to load it at all, and I end up having to do a hard reset.

Suddenly I can't import mp3

Hey!
All of the sudden I can't import any mp3 in my spotify playlists no more.When I try to drag and drop something into my playlist or local data nothing happens,I think it doesn't even recognize the data as mp3 because there is not the little "+" icon while I move the mp3 over spotify.It began a couple of days ago and I can't figure out why and didn't find any information on that online. Anybody got advice? because that sucks big time :D!Greetz!

Did anyone figure out the 'import MP3' problem?I ripped a CD into Windows Media (making sure that it was ripped as MP3) and nothing I do will make it playable in Spotify. The tracks are showing as greyed out in Local Files - and greyed out in playlists too - but when I click to play, I get the message: 'This tracks was added as a local file. If you have the file on your computer you can import it.'I tried adding the source, but it just won't work - and, of course, the import option has now been removed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
