MBP leopard 10.5.8 is getting slower and the spinning wheel is constant

My 1 year old MBP running OSX has got more sluggish. The little multicolored spinning timer wheel keeps appearing a lot more now, and I hate it! My MBP takes drastically longer to boot when i turn it on as opposed to when I just got it. My web pages take a long time to load. Can anyone help me? WHat can I do to speed up my MBP. I am a novice mac user. this is my first mac. I appreciate the help. Again my mac is getting slower by the day and i dont know how to increase its overall performance. Is there any simple software that can boost overall performance or will I have to reformat my MBP? I have a 200gb HD with 50 gb free and 4 gb of ram. I thought with that ram i would have a super fast MBP but I dont. Please help.
Thanks in Advance,
Dave

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Launch the Activity Monitor utility. Pull down the list near the top and set it to "All Processes". Click on the "CPU" column heading to put the highest CPU consumers at the top. Also click on the "CPU" tab in the lower part of the window to check the value for "% Idle". If that value is much above zero, check the other categories for signs of resource problems. If nothing there points to a possible problem, launch the Console utility and look for messages that might suggest a problem. If you see messages that you have trouble interpreting, post them here and someone should be able to help.

Aprreciate help on this.

To resolve this, you need to reconfigure the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service" (OATSHelperSvr) to start as a user who has privledges to run open script tests rather than the default SYSTEM user.
Reconfiguring the OATSHelperSvr Service:
1. Open the services panel (Start > Run > services.msc)
2. Find the Oracle Application Testing Suite Helper Service
3. Right Click > Properties then select the Log On Tab
4. Specify an interactive user that has rights to run OpenScript (test by logging in as that user and running tests):
5. Click OK
6. Restart the service after dialogs are closed by Right Click > Restart
7. You should now repeat this process for the "Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service" (eLoadAgentMon) Service (Two services in
total)
You should now retry running the test in Oracle Test Manager

Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
Is there certain times of the day when you notice the Internet is slow?
If so, that's probably the reason.
Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
That will slow your connection, too!
Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
Might be time from a newer, faster router?

Crack in outer case / screen bezel on 20" iMac G5 getting worse by the week

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem ...?
About a month ago, I noticed a very small crack in the bottom left-hand corner of my iMac's outer casing - at first I thought it was a mould mark that occassionally picked up sunlight coming into the room in the mornings, as in the evenings it was barely noticabable - but more recently I it has increased in length and can be clearly seen in any light ...
Have a look at these photos .... one is with a flash & one without ...
http://tinyurl.com/ejjq6
http://tinyurl.com/hvrpg
My estimate is this crack is now growing by the week but I am not sure exactly why ... also, for the past couple of months - more & more CD's & DVDs are falling out of the 'slot load' without halting after an eject - I have also had a power supply issue recently where my machine keeps switching itself off randomly and without warning (at present I can only use it successfully for lite duties such as checking emails in Entourage & browsing) .... and my hunch is that something inside my machine is getting hot and has warped or buckled the casing.
This machine has been on my desk since new about 9 months ago - the room temparaure is around 22º - 29º celcius (70º - 85º farenheit) on average. It's never been moved or shipped anywhere & is not likely to have been damaged by anything else - as the space is mininal with a bed, desk chair & my Mac - I also live alone and am the only one who has ever used it and that 'direct sunlight' I mentioned earlier is minimal ... so it's a total mystery as to how & why this crack has appeared ...
I would like to know if anyone else has noticed any cracks in the outer casings of your iMacs .... there were a couple of previous threads from late last year, but as these have been archived I could not reply to them so have started a new post ...
you can see previous case-cracking thread here: --> http://tinyurl.com/nr2wx
And - can any of the Mac Daddy's (you know who you are in these forums give me some advice on how best to approach Apple to have it checked ?? My machine still has 3 months left of it's initial 1 year warranty - it goes in for a PSU check and/or replacement in 1 week - but something tells me I might be not be taken too seriously regarding the crack in my machine ...

Boomer ... thanks for your reply ...
Regarding my Apple approach - I went through the iBook logic board fiasco, way back in the early days before it was acknowledged by Apple to be a manufacturing flaw. The company here in Auckland who are the Apple representatives for New Zealand is a company called Renaissance (our official Apple head office is actually in Sydney, Australia) - when I first informed them of my iBook 700 starting up to a garbled start-up screen and then freezing, they told me I must have dropped it and would not consider repairing it under warranty or Apple Care. Many months of conversations, tests by Apple service technicians and eventually, talks with the management at Renaissance, and out of pocket expenses by me, eventually got me nowhere and the final conclusion was that I had misused my machine and it would not be repaired under warranty. After several discouraging months later, I eventually sold it as spare parts for a fraction of what I had paid for it ... 6 months later the iBook Logic Board fault was acknowledged - but for me, it came way too late ...
Fast forward 3 years …
I purchased my iMac G5 last July, which has now developed a serious power supply issue where it randomly shuts down without warning when processing an average size (350MBs) video file in Toast or resizing a medium size image in Photoshop with the internal fans going ballistic on a regular basis whenever a heavy task is laid on the processor - and more recently, the crack in the lower-left hand corner growing larger. Also, the disks falling out of the slot-load - & all this from a machine which apart from the above - looks in minted brand new condition ... because it really hasn't had that much use in it’s short life - if it was new car, it would only have done about 20,000kms ...
My point is. Although the PSU issue is widely acknowledged and the one in my machine is most likely to be checked & replaced by Apple NZ free-of-charge - I feel that I might not be so lucky with the cracked case. The level of service here in New Zealand I would say is but a fraction of the support one might receive in Australia & the States – or at least for me it appears that way ... you would not believe that 'attitude' I have come up against when dealing with managers at Renaissance – and any request to have a speedy check done on my iMac by 3 separate service centres will take more than a week (closer to 2 weeks) to complete as the replacement PSU has to be ordered, then shipped from Australia – there is no such thing as a routine ‘same day or next day’ service or repair! I have lodged the crack complaint with Apple Australasia through our local help-line which diverts automatically to the Apple Customer Liaison desk in Australia but when I spoke to a local service centre, an Apple tech suggested it was unlikely to be replaced if there were no other ‘documented’ accounts of cracks on other 20” G5 iMacs anywhere else. And even without seeing it, he suggested the crack has most likely been caused by ‘blunt force’.
And as I know that is not the case, I sense I am in for another battle with the honchos at Renaissance who will most likely decline the repair or replacement of the casing under warranty.
Hence the reason for this post – I am trying to gather information to help support my case. I am adamant this crack has appeared on it’s own and has not been hit by anything blunt or due to misuse.
You might be asking why I have not just taken it in already to have all 3 things checked at the same time?
Firstly, the fans started acting up about 2-3 months ago – I have performed several maintenance tasks on my machine since then (resetting the power parameters: resetting VRAM & PRAM), & other maintenance tasks (Ethernet/network tweaks & running Yasu to refresh the system) & which combined, reduced the fan noise by about 50%, & that’s something I considered I could live with, considering the amount of others in these forums who are experiencing the same problem. I figured the iMac G5 is always going to be noisy – because no-one in these forums has posted an absolute fix yet - I didn’t see the point in taking it in and being without a machine for 2 weeks, only to be told there was nothing wrong with it. It was also around this time that CDs & DVDs began falling from the slot load & down the back of my desk.
Then the crack came to my attention about a month ago, which I reported immediately to the help line (including the excessive fan noise) and was issued a specific ‘case number’– again, I was told to bring it in to a local service centre but when I called to arrange a time to drop off, I was again told it would take up to 2 weeks for an assessment – that’s when the tech suggested the crack was not a defect but damage caused by a blunt object and was unlikely to be covered under warranty.
My alarm bells starting ringing when I heard that, & I could see myself re-experiencing the long-winded battle with Apple NZ again to be taken seriously.
I was actually in the process of winding down my current assignment, (which is worth $2,000 to me) in preparation of not having a machine for 2 weeks to fix the PSU as I do not have another unit with which to work on - when my iMac started randomly switching itself off without warning last week – as a result, I have had to persevere at a snails pace – saving my work every 2 mins, as I have to get this project finished before I can afford to hire a replacement machine in the interim ….
I am stuck in a catch-22.
My machine will be going in this Monday to have all 4 malfunctions inspected: fans, PSU, cracked casing & the disc eject problem … my expectation is to have all 4 issues repaired under warranty as I have looked after this machine, as with any other machine or appliance I own – with love & with care !!
To round it all up - and I apologise for the drawn-out and rather convoluted explanation, but I am trying to find others who might also be having case/bezel issues with their G5 iMacs, which could hopefully support my claim when I come up against the impending ‘NO’ regarding the cracked casing …

Seriously. Slow down the credits help!

I've read a ton of your answers to this question in the archives, and still have yet to solve the problem. I understand how to make the credits roll slower, I understand you have to extend both the background and the text. The problem is that when I extend both to about 20 seconds, the credits are finally rolling at a pace I am happy with, but the text is finished by 9 seconds and I have 11 seconds of black background! Which I do not want for obvious reasons. When I tried to only get rid of the black background, everything changed to a 10 seconds frame and the text was back to scrolling far too quickly for anyone to read. This problem needs to be fixed. As I don't think it is anything I am doing wrong, the whole feature itself is messed up.

hmmm ... :
2 lines of text in 20sec = slow
20 lines of text in 20 sec = not so slow
2 lines of text in 5secs = fast
2 lines of text in 50sec = way too slow
What I want to tell you here:
the 'speed' depends on LENGTH in min:sec of clip AND of amount of lines ... -
if you have many lines of text, make the clip longer = slower.
you can NOT expect to scroll an amount of text 'slow' within 3secs, that's nonsense.
remember school:
speed = distance (here; amount of text) x time (here: 'length' of clip) .. .
and a credit-title starts and ends with 'emptyness'.- or, you overlay it over some video ... -

Getting Day of the Week

I have a table with a bunch of columns with random stuff in them.
One of the columns is a date + time column that has this kind of format:
- 11-01-24 00:00:00.000000000
- 11-01-27 02:00:00.000000000
Now, as you can see, the first few numbers are the year, month, and date, the next few numbers are the hour, minutes, and second, but the last part, well, I'm honestly not too sure; I took over this database a while ago, so that format is a bit alien to me (if someone can clarify this, it'd be great; not important, though).
Given this format, is it possible to get the day of the week?
I know for some scripting and programming code, you can usually find this kind of information by using some sort of date function, but I can't seem to find one for Oracle SQL.
It would be something like:
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE some_function(date_period) = 'SAT'
Thanks a lot for any feedback!

Hi,
As Centinul said, the function you want is TO_CHAR, and here's one way to use it:
WHERE   TO_CHAR ( date_period
          , 'DY'
          , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH'     -- If needed
          )   = 'SAT'This assumes that the data type of date_period is TIMESTAMP (or DATE).
The third argument to TO_CHAR is optional. You can skip it if you're certain that Saturday in your session is called 'Saturday', and not 'Lördag' or 'Sabado', or something in any of the other languages that Oracle supports.
You can use TO_CHAR wherever a string is allowed. For example:
SELECT TO_CHAR ( date_period
          , 'DY'
          , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH'     -- If needed
FROM    table_x;To see the different things that you can put in the 2nd argument to TO_CHAR, look up "format models - date" in the SQL Language manual:

Single of the Week Help!!

Hey everyone!
I have used iTunes for a while now, but I got my account today. I noticed that there was the Single of the Week application, so I downloaded the song (The Wishes Pile Up - Jim Bryson). On my purchase history it says that the song was free, but when I looked at my statement of my online Visa, it said that I had a purchase on iTunes for $1.00. I have not bought any other songs, and I am wondering why the supposedly "free song download" wasn't exactly free. I would appreciate any responses! Thanks so much!
-Rhadd

Since you just signed up, the $1 is simply a hold placed on yoru CC to verify the account. It's done only when you add or change the CC info.
The $1 hold will be removed, usually within a day.

Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in iTunes enable it for disk use, this is required for most if not all the utilities listed below so they can access the files: Using your iPod as a storage drive
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward, just check for one that soecifically state they work with the iPod shufle. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
There is also manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and was written long before iTunes 7 and Windows Vista so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location mention for instance but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes

I cant get connected....help please.

I received my hub yesterday which was also activation day and I can't get connected to the internet. The hub has an Orange constant light and a red flashing b. When I have my phone and the internet connected to the white box neither work, when I remove the internet the phone line works. I have spoken to the bt call centre, after doing all sorts of tests they have decided its the little white box that's faulty, I don't agree - I think I'm being fobbed off, both with the same fault? I don't think so. I found another box in the house and its still the same. Hoping someone can help.

welcome to the forum where customers help customers and only bt employees are forum mods
have you tried the test socket to see if that makes any difference?
