Sudden slow-down of my MacBook Pro
I have experienced a recent significant slowdown on my MacBook Pro. Since it occurred soon after I finally got around to loading Yosemite, I was concerned that the new OS was a bit too much for the 5yr old laptop. I found an older (long!) thread that recommended etrecheck and post the results in a new discussion. I know there are some things I need to clean up too.
Problem description:
Sudden and significant unexplained slow-down of my MacBook Pro. I get a lot of spinning pinwheels just opening and closing applications.

were any of the crashes due to GPU panics?
It looks like something has modified your /etc/hosts file — do you know which of your apps has done that?
Did you ensure that all of your installed third-party apps are compatible with Mavericks before upgrading to Mavericks?

Connection drops/slows down on new Macbook Pro but works perfectly on older
Hello,
I have 3 Macbook Pro's and one AirPort Extreme (bought dec 2008), *all has been working flawlessly* for a year until about two-three weeks ago.
*This is what happens:*
_Old Macbook Pro (2007)_ - *Works perfectly 100% of the time*, always at least 20mbit/s connection
_New Macbook Pro 15" (2009)_ - *Drops/slows down*, sometimes fast 20mbit/s sometimes slow 0.01mbit/s
_New Macbook Pro 13" (2009)_ - *Drops/slows down*, sometimes fast 20mbit/s sometimes slow 0.01mbit/s
_iPhones (2G/3G/3GS)_ - *All Work perfectly 100% of the time*
*I have reset the Airport Extreme 20 times* and tried the latest firmware 7.4.2 without luck. I have *even downgraded* to several other types of firmware. But problems still remain. This is doing my head in since I cannot any longer use the Airport Extreme with the newer MBP's.
So, only the new macs seem to have this problem. But the strange thing is that my older computer works 100% all the time!!!
_*Has my Airport Extreme broken or is anyone else having this problem?*_I seem to have found a temporary solution. If I change the DHCP address series from 10.0.1.X to 192.168.0.X it works for about a week. Then it starts to drop/slow down again. So I use airport utility to again change it back to 10.0.1.X and it works for another week.. And on it goes.. This is so strange I can hardly believe it.

My lightroom 5 has slowed considerably on my macbook pro
please help. My lightroom 5 has suddenly slowed considerably on my macbook pro. It can take ages to carry out out a simple task like spot removal, and when you run the activity monitor it will show that lightroom has stopped responding,
In the "performance" tab of the Preferences dialog, if you turn off the use of the GPU, does it stop crashing?

Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping
Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You
Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

Sudden slow down after an auto-shutdown - kernel_task running hot.
Hi,
I was playing Braid on supremely low battery, and my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011) running 10.7.2, automatically turned off. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Booted it up next morning and it is so incredibally slow. No warning, no gradual slow down, just all of a sudden. No peripherals attached at all.
Checked my Activity Monitor, kernal_task is running at 330mbs, from what I've seen that is pretty bad. That's the only thing I can see that is out of the ordinary.
Anyone want to take a stab at the cause of this sudden slow down? It's making using my laptop very very tedious.Note: In Safe Mode kernal_task is running at 220mbs. Is that a clue? I don't know.

Hi all, my mac's suddenly slowed down significantly - can anyone help?
Hi there, a couple of weeks ago my mac suddenly slowed down significantly. Since then I've installed the new operating system and that's helped a little but it's still not running as it should.
Here's my EtreCheck report. Any ideas you clever people?

External USB Maxtor One-Touch 3 suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:
External USB HD suddenly fails to mount on MacBook Pro:
My One Touch III 600GB drive, external power supply, suddenly will not mount and is not recognized by the system profiler or Disk Utility, however, drive, connected USB, appears under windows XP.
1. Power cable and usb cable working.
2. Using external AC adapter(not relying on USB power).
3. Other USB devices, mice, flash drives work on both USB ports.
4. Drive works on Windows, folders and data integrity ok.
5. Drive format is NTFS.
6. No Maxtor software installed.
7. No humming or strange noises emanating from drive.
8. No problem to January 14, 2008,
9. Mac OS 10.4.10 updates last downloaded and installed Jan 20, 2008.
10.1 blip of the light on "The One Touch Button", then light turns solid white.
Questions:
1. Does Apple set sleep or lock switch for devices (drives)?
2. If so, can it be reset manually?
3. Does Apple have configuration profile for devices, like a registry key?
4. If so, where is it located?
Configuration:
Dual 2 GHz MacBook Pro 15”
2 GB DDR SDRAM
OSX 10.4.10
2 USB Ports Left and RightNOTE: This Update is required when using a OneTouch Drive as a bootable device. Seagate suggests that you dismount and disconnect your FireWire Drive before continuing.
Users have identified issues when connecting OneTouch External Drives to FireWire Ports on their Mac G4 and/or G5 computers. These Problems range from system hangs, kernel panics to slow data transfer rates. The cause of these problems has been traced back to the FireWire Driver. Seagate has resolved these problems through updated FireWire Drivers.
I am using USB and not trying to use drive as a boot device. -

This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.

Sudden slow down in data transfer
I'm reading data from the hard disk on a Target PXI System (8106 RT) and sending it via Ethernet to a Host PC and writing it to its hard disk. I read a chuck of data from the Target, send it using TCP Write function. The Host uses the TCP Read function get the data and write it to its hard disk. Data is being transfer over a Gbit Ethernet. A total of 9 files ranging in size from 700 MB - 2 GB are being transferred. The process moves along at an adequate speed until it suddenly slows down to slower than a snail's pace in the middle of a file.
By using probes (see enclosures) I've been able to determine it take approximately 17 seconds between when the data is read on the PXI to when it is written on the Host. However, an iteration of the loop on the Target has increased to over 3 minutes. The CPU usage on the Target and Host are minimal, less than 1%. Memory usage on the Host is also small. Any suggestions on how to diagnose what has caused this sudden slow down?

Slide3.PNG 39 KBI would recommend using smaller chunk sizes for your data transfers. I would recommend something inthe 10K to 50K range. I have done quite a bit of profiling for sending large amounts of data and I have found that it is better to send lots of smaller chunks rather than fewer large chunks. Also make sure that you are not automatically building up large buffers in your application if you are using shift registers. If you are reading from a file read the file in chunks and send the chuncks. Don't read the whole file in in one read. One experiment I ran resulted in a single read of a large file (2 MB or so) took something like 10 minutes to read it in one read. However it only took a couple of 100 ms to read the whole thing in 10K chunks. Same applies to wrinting very large chunks using the TCP write. You can easily get a timeout if you write 1 MB as a single write because the receiver has not consumed all of the data within the timeout period. However, multiple small writes will reset the timeout for each chunk written.

What do I do when a file suddenly slows down? It takes 20 to 30 seconds for one sentence of text to slowly appear on the screen after I type it.
Problem is associated with one chapter (file) in a book of twenty. The other 19 are fine. Same symptoms when the same file is opened in another computer.
I tried starting with a new, blank chapter, copied and pasted the text and the problem reappeared.
I tried starting with another new, blank chapter, and retyped all the text. The problem soon came back.
I don't know if the problem is associated with a photo I place into the file, or with some text, or what.
Please help, very frustrating to not be able to work.
Thank you,

Illustrator CS4 crashes when using save drop down menu on MacBook Pro Yosemite. Just purchased a new laptop and it has Yosemite installed.
Hi Parisian tiger
What happens when you try to open any file from the same location where you are saving the file using Save As command ?
Will it be possible to join a connect session with me ?
Please do let me know about your time availability ?

An application I have used for years suddenly slowed down.
A CAD application I have used for years suddenly slowed down to a crawl. It is virtually unusable. My other apps seem ok.
The application in question runs under Rosetta since it is a PPC app.
I have plenty of disk space and nothing obvious has changed. Any ideas how to resolve this problem will be appreciated.
