ThinkPad -Fingerprint Software very slow
Hey guys,
I have got a rather small question concerning the synaptics fingerprint sensor with the Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro Software. If I enable log-in with my fingerprint the system start up is much slower than usual - I have to wait about 10 - 20 seconds longer until I can log-in using the fingerprint sensor if I have configured my system to use the sensor. If I uninstall the Fingerprint Manager Pro, WIndows Log-in screen appears promptly and I can enter my password.
My system has the following setup:
Thinkpad T440s with Win7 64bit
12GB RAM
i5 4200
256GB SSD
Why does it take so long to show the log-in screen when the Fingerprint Manager Pro is configured? May I use another software to run the sensor? I have nearly all Lenovo Software installed, just the Access Connections Tool and the Password Manager are not on my disk (and currently, Fingerprint Manager Pro).
Actually, the sensor is quite convenient, but I am not willing to wait at each startup just for the fingerprint sensor.
Thank you very much for your help and advice!
I managed to rip the driver itself from the package. I assume you're running 64-bit.
Install it with Device Manager and then try having Windows handle it.

Thinkpad T400 - Fingerprint reader very slow to come available
I've been having an issue with my fingerprint reader. At startup, it would sometimes take upwards of a minute to be available for use. Sometimes, it simply never came on at all, even after leaving the computer to sit for half an hour it would still be telling me "please wait..."
This has been going on for about a year, but I never really paid much attention since it was intermittent (would happen about once or twice every two weeks). But lately it's been doing it just about every time I turn on the computer, which sort of defeats the purpose of a fingerprint reader. Does anyone have a similar problem, or any suggestions to fix?
If it helps, my machine is a 2764CTO.hey Halman,
uninstall the fingerprint driver from your unit.
head over to >> http://suport.lenovo.com , download and reinstall the fingerprint driver for your unit.

Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?
after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

Since download of Firefox Hello my home desktop & laptop, both on Windows 7, are very slow to open. I have refreshed firefox, removed download history and turned off the anti virus software in extensions. All the plugins are up to date. Can we revert back to Firefox without Firefox Hello?
Firefox Hello is simply a wrapper for technology already in Firefox, it doesn't negatively impact performance if you aren't using it. Are you saying that your entire computer is slow or just Firefox?

Software updates download is very slow
Today I downloaded 2 software updates; OSX 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1. The download speed was very slow and erratic. The activity monitor showed that the process "softwareipdated" was receiving data at anywhere from 1 to 25 kbs. My DSL connection is never very fast but typically receives 130 to 150 kbs. Other downloading such as streaming music or video has been normal. Any ideas why this happened and could this be a symptom of some more fundamental problem?
It may not be exclusive to Verizon but considering that Apple updates are severely affected on my system, yet my next door neighbor with Comcast has no problems whatsoever, I am 100% confident that Verizon is playing a role in my woes. In fact, I updated my wife's iPad to iOS 8 OTA on a relative's Xfinity wifi just to get it completed. Took me about an hour to complete. I came back home, less than a quarter mile away to my lovely FiOS and boom, 15-20 hour download estimate on my rMBP to update my iPad Mini (which I'm saving for last or at least until this issue is resolved). Changing my DNS seemed to work briefly on my rMBP but less than a day later my speeds were back to being slow as molasses. At least I had the opportunity to update both my rMBP and iPad Air before the speed took a nosedive again. Just wish I had updated the Mini too. I figured the problem was resolved and I'd get a chance to update it later.
Judging by several posts I found online (links to two examples posted below), I see I'm not alone in thinking something funny is going on between Apple and Verizon. I won't refute your claim that it is also affecting other providers, because your experience sounds pretty close to mine, but everyone I've encountered with problems in this area has FiOS. Folks around me who subscribe to other ISP's seem fine. The link below to the discussion on dslreports (2nd link) is particularly telling because I read it after trying various troubleshooting steps and was surprised by the number of people who posted in that thread that had identical issues and troubleshooting experiences as me. Several people also mentioned that the problem disappeared after they connected to Apple update through a VPN.
I assumed it was primarily on the East Coast because I have relatives in the West and Midwest with FiOS who have not had any issues.
I called Verizon but that was about as useful as your experience. They didn't even bother pointing fingers. They simply said "if everything else works then I'm getting what I pay for". I promptly replied that as an almost exclusively Apple household, I am most certainly not getting what I pay for if I can't upgrade my software, apply security patches or use my Apple streaming devices. Unfortunately, no one seems interested in fixing the issue, so we're left to find our own solutions.
And that's exactly what I did roughly an hour ago. Comcast will be out to swap my equipment and service in 14 days. Problem solved... At least I hope.

Mac with vpn tracker software running very slow
Hello,
I leave in Seattle and I use a Mac G5 running vpn tracker software tunneling into a Microsoft corporate network in San Jose, CA. My mac is plugged into a router and it is very very slow. I also have a PC with vpn tracker software which is running wireless and it is fast. Any ideas on what I need to do to make the Mac run faster. Could this be issues with my clients network? Should my Mac G5 be running wireless in order to get it running faster? Any advice would be appreciated.
StephenI have the same problem. It is really, really slow. Does Windows work better than the Mac in this respect?

Very slow buffling after changing a software from Norton 360 to Norton Internet Security
When I download movies using "Norton 360", it doesn't take long time. But when movies are downloaded, using "Norton Internet Security", it takes 10 times longer. (For one-hour movie, it takes more than 2 hours to watch it, waiting for very slow~ download/buffling).
Antivirus software is NOT needed if the Mac you are running is only running OS X. Antivirus apps interfere with normal performance and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls into the main OS X system software impacting general performance of your Mac.
Here are some of my tidbits of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
Java is still a vulnerability concern, if you do not need it, don't use it.
Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
Install security updates when they become available
Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
ClamXAV

I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

I am using iPhone 4S. Recently I updated my software to iOS 6.1 since then my Iphone become very slow. Can anyone help me to resolve it?
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
Creative Cloud Software is very slow to open
When I restart the computer, and then I start any of the Creative Cloud Software is very slow to open.
If I close the software and I open it again, it starts fastly
Is there anything I can do to increase the performace of the 1st opening of the creative cloud software after the pc rebootFirst let me disclose that I am not an expert nor even much less. However I used to have this slow as a turtle opening of FF until I got rid of my antivirus software which at the time was Avast. I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials and have had no problems since. FF loads in 3 to 4 seconds!

Did you restart your computer after repairing permissions?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
Your system info says:
MacBook Pro
Yet, in your postings you say: "MacBook" which is an entirely different computer. Typo? Are you in the correct community area? -
Iphone software update 8.1 very slow download
Hello,
iphone software update 8.1 is very slow download = Announced 14h00
iPhone 6 plus 124GB
My home line is optical fiber performance measured when iphone software update 8.1 is very slow download = Announced 14h00:
Download measured at the same time = 94.4 Mbps
Upload measured at the same time = 95.3 Mbps
What's going on? Is it the Apple server performance?

If installed, disable anti virus software then resume the download. The App Store is sensitive to security software.

IPhoto slideshow is very very very slow after the latest software update
As the subject states, iPhoto slideshows are very slow: after clicking on the slideshow-button first nothing happens, after a while the screen goes black (that lasts about a minute or so) and the (finally) the slideshow starts. which is very annoying because it displays no options screen at first as it used to do, it just starts using very annoying standard music... quitting slideshow again to go to the options menu takes ages!! this problem started after the latest software update... way to go Apple...
suggestions anyone?!EelcoR
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Well I haven’t seen this problem.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

is apple product going down hill it seems their updates are creating a lot of problem now the wifi connection is really ******* me off it doesnt connect or even if it does its very very slow i used to love using iphone but i think its time to move on to something else they have taken everyone for granted
Welcome to Apple Discussions, Mark.
I've never come across your first problem on any of the Apple notebooks I currently own (or have owned in the past). Then again, perhaps I'm not looking close enough.
Have you compared it with any other 12" PowerBook? If not, perhaps you might be able to try that at a local store with units on display.
Otherwise you might want to give AppleCare a call. Alternatively, if you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider near you (I don't know where you are located) then you can take it in to be checked.
As for your second problem (uneven illumination), that has been known to afflict other notebooks. My own 15" PB has had its screen replaced on two occasions because of this. Depending on the severity, you might be able to get it replaced. Mine became so bad that the screen was effectively unusable.
To be honest, here in the UK, I would actually try for a replacement PowerBook - if the problems were severe enough and also because your PB is still very new. However the consumer laws in your country (wherever that may be) might be very different to mine.
Maybe you are looking for
