You can always shut it down manually via the Task Manager
(CtrlShiftEsc)...

What can I do?

I would ask in the dedicated iCloud forum. Good luck. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud

Compaq sr1320nx /win xp after keystroke/command, the system is very slow 10-15 secs. before response

after keystroke/command, the system is very slow 10-15 secs. before response

What I've done is that I reinstalled 10.8.1 and each time, I ran disk utilitiy. It has helped but fter a while, especially when waking up from sleep, EVERY app can take a lot of time to come up, including those already activated. Every click would take at least 5secs to respond... and then the spinning ball comes up.
It's only after the same app was used, then it would be smooth. For example, I run my cursor down to the bottom of the screen where my dock is hidden. It would take a few times of running down before the dock shows up. From that point on, it would would work nicely unless I click on any of those apps in the dock. Then, it would take another 5secs or more before something shows on the screen such as clicking on Mail. It takes more than 5secs before mail pops up. Then, when I click on any mailbox, it would take another 5secs or the spinning ball comes up. From that point on, clicking on Mail is smooth and cicking on the same mailbox is smooth unless I click on a different mailbox or go to preferences, for example.
So, I keep running disk utility almost everyday and now, it works 99% of the time. If it slows again, I run the disk utility. I guess that's the way to go until they come up with a proper fix.
All this housekeeping work reminds me of Windows and the endless defragging and optimising. That was one of the few reasons why I switched to Apple and now...
Dear Mr Steve Jobs, please send some enlightenment to your Apple teams!

Teatimer periodically starts paging like crazy(1500+pfs). It slows the system down very noticiably. How do i stop if?

It occurs several times a day and eventually stops. It often runs several minutes. I use the system task monitor to watch it. cpu usage is very small, in 3-5% range. I think the paging activity is overloading the paging subsytem for the rest of my tasks. If I stop teatimer, paging activity falls off markedly and everything else returns to normal response.

I have the same problem and I cannot find any way to turn off the internal bluetooth without killing all bluetooth including the dongle. If someone has a way to turn off the internal bluetooth I want to see it.
Thanks

The system become very slow when I installed FCP X

Hi,all
Could anybody help to solve this problem?
MY OS X is 10.6.8, and When I installed the FCP X, it runed very slow. Each step would cost 10 sec. or even more to go over.
I use the lastest MAC Pro (QUARD 2.8GHz, 8GB, 2TB, ATI5800), so do not worry about the perfermance.
Moreover, how can I archive the project files and the events?
Thanks.

I am not sure about your speed issues, but you can find your project and event files in User/Movies/Final Cut Events and User/Movies/Final Cut Projects from there you can duplicate folders and files to backup your events and projects. Hope this helps.

I am having problems downloading files from the web. After a number of files are downloaded, the system become sluggish, and then hangs. I traced the problem to the download history file: downloads.sqlite.

After downloading a number of 1.0 MB files, the system became very sluggish, and I started to get lots of (Not Responding) messages when trying to download or just use Firefox for browsing. Using Performance Monitor, I observed that the Firefox executable was growing larger and larger - up to as large as 1.2 GB on a system with 2.0 GB memory. Page faults were off the chart.
Looking for a similar problem, I found one that discussed the downloads.sqlite file becoming corrupted. I first noticed that this file was over 600 MB in size, so I deleted it. I then downloaded additional files, and observed that the new downloads.sqlite file would increase in size by about 150% of the size of each file that was downloaded. Once it would get up to 500 MB in size, the system started slowing down again.
I don't know the purpose of this file, but it appears that it keeps a full copy of every file downloaded, which may be the function of a download history file, but it does not seem correct that the file should grow in size without limit, and thus impact the system.
I would also appear that the Firefox executable is trying to read the entire contents of this file each time a new file is downloaded, which does not seem right.
Temporary fix is to periodically delete the downloads.sqlite file when it gets too large and starts impacting performance.. Apparently it is smart enough to open a new file if the old one is not found. I am not sure what the correct behavior for this file should be. Apparently is does not re-initialize when a new Firefox session is initiated.
Please feel free to contact me if more information is desired. I'm not sure what details you might need to troubleshoot this type of problem.

Hi Katy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What is the exact name of the file?
Is it aim.bin?
Which requires either Stuffit Expander, or the Unarchiver to deflate.

You are referrring to how long it takes to startup your Mac?
If so, open System Preferences > General
Deselect: Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
And remove any apps in HD > Library > Startupitems
Make sure there's at least 15% free space on the startup disk.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac then click More Info then select the Storage tab from the menu.
If you have anti virus software installed, disable or uninstall the software to see if that makes a difference.

Acrobat XI Very Sluggish After Update Ver. 11.0.09

After ver. 11.0.09 updated my Acrobat Pro XI, the program operates very sluggishly. In a multi-page PDF, there is a several seconds lag when scrolling through pages. And as one page changes to the next, there is always a "ghost" remnant of the page bottom before the next page appears. Also, when I have the thumbnails viewer open on the left and highlight a new page, there is a longish delay of several seconds before the full view of the page opens up. And sometimes when opening Acrobat XI, the entire viewing area is just white (although some of the menu bars is visible) for several seconds before the program interface fills out. All in all, with the update to ver. 11.0.09, my Acrobat XI has become a lot slower and downright slow. None of this existed before the update 11.0.09. (I actually uninstalled the Acrobat XI program and reinstalled to see if the program's function would improve, but no such luck.) Is there any way to fix the slowness of the program or restore it to its efficient operation level before ver. 11.0.09?

So, just for everyone's FYI: if you weren't having problems with Acrobat Pro XI before the 11.0.09 update and you are now having issues because of 11.0.09, like I was with totally sluggish and non-responsive commands and performance, you might want to do what I did. I completely uninstalled Acrobat XI, ran the Adobe Acrobat clean up tool, then re-installed Acrobat XI and updated it manually starting with 11.0.01, then 11.0.02, then 11.0.03, skipped 11.0.04 (issues it created), skipped 11.0.05 (won't install without .04), then installed 11.0.06, 11.0.07, and 11.0.08. Did not bother with 11.0.09. What is important to remember, I think, is that just because Adobe puts out an Update does not mean you need to install the Update, especially if you are not having any usage issues or performance problems. So, I am back to Acrobat XI, ver. 11.0.08 and totally satisfied with the efficient and great performance that I am getting out of the program.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

Printing TIFF files hangs the system, is there a workaround?

When printing large tiff files (e.g., exported layout images from CAD) the system becomes unresponsive and it takes time to print. Even after the image is printed, the system works very slowly.
It seems to be a bug, or is there any workaround to prevent the system to hang?
Thank you, Jan

There are two similar bugs:
The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

I can not complete the boot on mountain lion after try to recover some deleted files, the macpro become very laggy and I needed to restart it so the problem apears

Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility and verify the drive. If it's damaged, repair. If it works properly, reinstall OS X Mountain Lion or restore your backup

K7T266Pro2, bios ver. 3.6, 3.7 - the system is unstable if the CPU is

I've a problem - after flashing to new versions of bios the system becomes very unstable if the CPU is even slightly overclocked (140х11). Now I have the bios version 3.3. It is stable, but does not support fast CPU's (when I overclock my cpu to 1862 MHz, the results in SiSoft Sandra 2002 are much lower then with non-overclocked cpu). What am I to do?
P.S. How to rename the thread?

what is the problem with 3.3 memory timing? I upgraded to 3.7 bios and found that I cannot restart Windows - every time I restart, the bios is stuck in the POST screen - I went back to 3.3 and the problem is gone. I also did not notice any difference in SisSandra 2002 score (including memory benchmark), 3dmark2001se and all other benchmark software I threw at my system between bios 3.3 and bios 3.7.
BTW, I was also like Kolian before in that once I flashed to any bios above 3.3, my system cannot overclock. It turns out I fixed my CPU heatsink the other way around. Once I fixed the heatsink correct, I can use bios 3.7 stably, only problem being it not able to restart.

The system is very sluggish
