Start up and navigation is slow in iphoto
I have a fairly large number of photos from my wife's 35mm camera loaded into iPhoto. When I start up, it takes some time and general navigation is very slow. What can I do to improve the speed of the application?
Your question is very vague. What version of iPhoto and the OS? How many is "a fairly large number"? How much Ram on you machine? How big is the Hard Disk and how much free space on it? What size are these files typically? How long is "some time" on start up? Do you have lots of Albums and Smart Albums? Anything else you can think of that might help?

My iMac won't start up and running so slow
Hello,
Since I upgraded my iMac to OS X Yosemite its been running so slow.
Yesterday out of the blue it won't shut down it froze so I forced the shut down by holding the power button.
Today it won't start! It goes till the apple logo with the download bar then it shuts down. Tried to unplug everything, reinstall but it won't work. It said the Mac HD driver is locked as well as the recovery one. I'm trying to repair the disk now its been going for ever.
Any help...Light blue bars is a new one.

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

Apps won't open and computer is slow to start up
My mac book is screwed up. About a week ago I noticed that everything on my computer started working extremely slowly. So, I ran a verify disk in disk utility. I got a message that my start up disk had an error. So, I started up from the install disk and ran repair disk in the utility program. Once that finished I got a message that there were no problems found. So, nothing changed still slow. I decided to start up in safe mode and see if that fixed things. Well, after starting safe mode and then restarting regularly it was still very slow to start up and on top of that no applications, except for Mail and Safari, will open. Also, I have tried to back up the few files I have that were not backed up already and I keep getting error messages and can't move files. So, what do I do now? I live quite a long way from the nearest mac genius bar and would like to fix this here if possible. Any suggestions?
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's sounds like there's some corruption on your hard disk that Repair Disk fixes but then returns.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Then download DriveGenius you can use the tools there and the surface scan to diagnose. If the surface scan shows bad blocks, you'll need to replace the drive sooner or later and I'd suggest sooner.

My Macbook pro Early 2008 is randomly slow at starting up and when I am backing up to my time capsule I am receiving the following message 'Time machine could not complete the backup.

Im using a Macbook Pro, running a Mac OS 10.6.8, with 400GB free of space and it is running slow. It takes more than 15 minutes to start up and things like that. I cant seem to do anything as it is so slow. The 'beachball of death' is also present during start up. What should I do? Please help
Try these two steps first.
Get the Original Installation disk and boot the MBP holding down the C key. When you get to the point where you see a menu bar on the top of the display, select UTILITIES. From the drop down menu select DISK UTILITY>FIRST AID. Run verify and repair.
See if there is any improvement.
Try a Safe Boot:

iMac 2.9Ghz intel i5
8GB
21.5"
Data migrated from a macbook pro and previously from an older iMac.
Can I restore to a clean start-up and re-install apps (docs, photo's music etc)from time machine without
bringing the issues that are causing a few issues.
ie Some web sites will not open ( I have checked that the sites are live).
Slow start up.
Some web sites ask me to check cookies- I've not changed them, and the problem is not constant ? (Safari is main browser).
Any advice gratefully received.
Tony1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My lap top is extremly slow. It studders. It kind of sounds like there is a fan inside and it constantly stopping and starting. And, it takes a really long time for it too start up. Whats wrong with it?
Do you have current backups?
Those symptoms could indicate a failing Hard drive. If it dies, all your documents go with it unless you have Backups.
I have had very good luck with physical and battery problem diagnosis at the Genius Bar. Those guys put their hands (and their ears) to these machines, all day every day, and they know immediately what all those sounds mean.

I haven't figured out if there is a pattern here, as of yet.
This happens with larger files (1500 pages and so forth) and not all the time.
- Bookmarks may take up to 4-5 seconds to go to its page. Scrolling up and down pages is just as painfully slow.
Even when I break the big file into smaller sections, the navigation remains slower than molasses.
- When I try to Optimize certain files, or Reduce their size, I get a Runtime Error. I have disable the Updater (I read this could be an issue) but that made no difference. I have also broken the larger files into 2 or 3 pieces. One of the pieces may work out well (I can optimize and so forth) but the other(s) may not.
Thank you.
PS: I use Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3. I have requested an upgrade (several times) but my wishes are not their command, I am afraid.HI ,Thanks for your response. That was an error in the code I posted, but wasn't the error I was trying to solve. Once correcting that error you pointed out I am getting the problems not when I send a plain text email like:
if(!sendmultipart)
// send a plain text message
msg.setContent(msgText, "text/plain");
}but when I try and send multipart messages doing this:
else
// send a multipart message// create and fill the first message part
MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp1.setText(msgText);
// create and fill the second message part
MimeBodyPart mbp3 = new MimeBodyPart();
// attach the file to the message
FileDataSource fds = new FileDataSource(soundfile);
mbp3.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp3.setFileName(fds.getName());
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
//adds the text to the message
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
//adds the attachment to the message
mp.addBodyPart(mbp3);
// adds the content to the message
msg.setContent(mp);
}So i get the error when executing the else branch.
Can you spot any errors here? I get the same error as mentioned earlier.
Thanks a lot,

Start up and shut down is slow after erasing free space using disk utility?
I went to Disk Utility, clicked Erase, and then "Erase Free Space." When I saw that it was going to take 1 hour and 30 minutes, I tried closing disk utility. It wouldn't let me exit, so instead I pressed "Skip." But when you hover over the "Skip" button it says, "Erase all data and reformat the disk."
I'm wondering if the fact that I pressed the skip button has anything to do with my computer shutting down/starting up A LOT slower now. If so, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!Just wanted to give an update. I called Apple and apparently, you shouldn't empty the free space using disk utility while you're logged in. I had to insert the Installations CD and press the "C" button while my computer restarted, and used Disk Utility from there. My start up and shut down speed still isn't exactly the way it was before, but this definitely made a difference.
Thank you to those who replied to my question! -
My iPhoto starts up and freezes. I have tried rebuilding and using iPhoto Library Manager. I have an iMac running 10.7.3. It was working before recent updates by Apple. How can I troubleshoot?

Intel Core Duo, very slow start up and doesnt recognize airport
Hi,
I just got upgraded to a 2GHz Intel Core Duo (10.4.7) by Apple, after they couldn't fix my iMac G5 iSight. But ever since I got it, on the initial start up every morning, it doesn't start up right away. When I press the power button, the sleep light dims on a little, stays on for about 30 seconds (with a blank screen) then the computer will eventually start up (Much much slower than normal)
Once it finished starting up, and gets to my desktop, my airport icon doesn't show up, and when I look for it, the computer tells me that there isn't one installed (There is).
I tried just restarting it, still doesn't show up. So I shut down, and power-up again. It starts up fast and normal, and then my airport card shows up.
Any idea what is causing this?
Thanks in advance!

But ever since I got it, on the initial start up
every morning, it doesn't start up right away. When I
press the power button, the sleep light dims on a
little, stays on for about 30 seconds (with a blank
screen) then the computer will eventually start up
(Much much slower than normal)
Once it finished starting up, and gets to my desktop,
my airport icon doesn't show up, and when I look for
it, the computer tells me that there isn't one
installed (There is).
I tried just restarting it, still doesn't show up. So
I shut down, and power-up again. It starts up fast
and normal, and then my airport card shows up.
Any idea what is causing this?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
parks2,
Have you reinstalled your RAM?
Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Check System Profiler under Diagnostics after each startup, as well. -
Xcode causing slow start up and shut down times
Hi,
Before installing Xcode my mac had a start up time of no more then 30 seconds and shutdown 5 seconds, since installing Xcode these have changed to 1 minute 15 seconds for start up and 10 seconds to shut down. Is this normal? My friends mac has done the exact same thing, is there any way to fix this without removing xcode?
Many Thanks,

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I have Xcode installed on my Mac but haven't noticed that it affects startup or shutdown times. Perhaps that's because I've had Xcode installed for a long time.
As far as I can tell Xcode has no "helper" applications that might slow startup or shutdown. You might look at the "Login Items" list in the Accounts panel of System Preferences to verify that.
I'd also launch the Console utility and search for any messages during the time your Mac is starting or shutting down to see if you can see anything that explains what you're seeing. -
Dear mac users,
I know this might be normal for every Mac or PC,
my PB is 6 months old, and it's start up and shut down time is kind of slower than before, can anyone kindly tell me the reason about this please??
Thanks^^Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes repair thread.
Doing the things in his link is a good start for a monthly maintenance program.
Do everything in the link and let us know.
Cheers!

Slow start up and printer connection
Hi, I have a iMac 10.6.8 which froze up a few weeks ago, so I had to turn the whole thing off without shutting down. Ever since that happened, it is really slow starting up and really slow sending information to the printer. It is connected with the normal printer cable and has always been very quick before the computer froze up. Now it takes 2-3 minutes of the rainbow spinning circle to get anything to print, even just a simple word document! Any clues on what may have happened and how to fix it?
Thanks.First backup immediately, it is possible you have a damaged or failing HD. Run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode and if it reports errors either Google them or post them. If the disk suffered some minor damaged it may be able to be repaired using Disk Utility however you will need to run DU from the original OS X Install Discs that came with the computer, a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD or if you use a Bootable Clone as a Backup you can boot from it and run DU from the Clone.

Slow start up and no Apple logo during post
Greetings everyone and Happy Holidays.
My question deals with my son's mini which is configured slightly different than mine. His has 256mb ram, no super drive, he has the 1.42 cpu and 80gig HD.
The problem is slow start up / post speed and slow overall system performance compared to my mini and my grandson's mini. My grandson's mini is exactly the same configuration as my son's and they are networked at home and have a broadband cable connection to the net.
We didn't realize the difference in start up methods between our minis until recently when I restarted my son's system and noticed a screen filled with text scrolling down as the mini started up. I asked if this just started happening and he said it did it from the day he first started it up. Then I noticed there was no Apple logo like the other two mini's has during post.
We compared settings between my grandson's mini and my son's system but didn't really find much. We tried reinstalling 10.4 with no change. We looked at the system resources and didn't really see much other than the system showed only having about 4 mb ram free. We are all running OS 10.4.3 with all the recent updates.
It takes a good 2 minutes for this thing to boot compare to our mini's taking about 45 seconds. I didn't look at start up items in his ACCOUNTS area and I'm not currently at his computer. Thanks for any help you can give.
We LOVE our mini's and I'm sorry I put up with MS for all these years. Apple truely does have a well designed, well built, reliable product.
Thanks,
Kenny GHi again.
Thank you all for your replies. I will be talking to my son shortly and will pass - on your info.
Upon returning to this forum to see the replies I got to my question, I reviewed my original post and it seems a bit confusing so, I'll summarize with more clarity.
Me, my eldest son and his son (my grandson), all have mini's. I bought my son his mini first (1). Then about 3 months later I bought my grandson his mini (2). Finaly, about 3 weeks ago, I bought mine (3).
Now, my son and my grandson have pretty much the exact same mini and they are configured like this:
CPU = 1.42gig
RAM = 256mb
HD = 80gig
WiFi = not installed
Bluetooth = not installed
DVD/CD = combo drive
OS ver = 10.4.3 Tiger
Both of these are networked in my son's house.
My grandson's mini (2) runs much faster AND (this is what concerns me with my son's mini (1)) the boot sequence does NOT show anything on the screen until the Apple logo appears then contiues to boot to his login screen - all taking about 45 seconds. This appears to be a normal (good) boot sequence, which is the exact same method that MY mini goes through at boot.
NOW - My son's mini boots very slow and what concerns me with his mini is that the system boots showing text such as what you would see when a DOS system boots, batch files running and such. All this text scrolling up the screen certainly does not show one my grandson's mini nor mine.
I did the reinstall of Tiger 10.4 but I did NOT do a clean install.
So, mini (1) boots and runs slow, showing a bunch of stuff on the screen during boot. Mini (2), which is the exact same mini, boots fast and runs almost as fast as my mini.
Anyway, I hope this helps clear up my problem and will be awaiting any further info. Thank's
Kenny G
