Troubleshooting/fixing slow performance?

I gotta 2008 iMac with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo / 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.9.1 and this thing runs slow as mud. When I have my usual suite of apps open for work (Chrome, Outlook, Word, Messages, sometimes iTunes or Spotify) everything basically grinds to a halt--it can take up to a minute to respond to a mouse click, and often text takes twice as long to appear as it takes me to type.
I have basically the same computer at my office at work (I think), and I don't have nearly as many problems.
Differences: I have four user profiles on this computer and only two on my work computer. I also have more stuff stored on this computer.
What do I need to do to troubleshoot/fix this?

Server 2012 R2 slow performance over all

This is a DELL PowerEdge R820 / 256GB RAM / 4TB onboard storage configured as Remote Desktop Services Host /TS... running QuickBooks, MS Office 2010 STD, Symantec EndPoint Protection (basic antivirus installation ONLY)... 1 month old server... SUPER fast,
super powerfull.... Part of an AD in SBS 2008 Premium... single NIC card 4 ports / 3 ports disabled. single IP... no VLANS... server is able to resolve ANY pc, DNS record with no problems... able to resolve DC by name, able to receive GP, able to update, able
to do everything that I can think of.... EXCEPT... anything I open, word, excel, QuickBooks, IE.... takes forever to open... after the application is open is fast but to open anything takes 3-4 minutes.... open ticket with Symantec all looks good, created
lots of exceptions for antivirus/real time scanning, open ticket with QuickBooks: files look good application was removed and reinstalled to be sure all was done correctly... check the binding order for the disabled NIC; the active one is TOP option, no errors
at all in event viewers for system, application, setup, no errors at all in DELL management tool, no hard drive errors, no controllers errors.... this server is replacing an old dell poweredge 2008 STD with 24GB RAM... the old DELL opens the same applications
way faster than the new one... same Quicken version; old server opens Quicken in seconds, new one 3-4 minutes..... Real time monitoring NEVER goes above 1% for CPU and 3% for memory utilization.... one more thing... removed antivirus 100% restart... same performance
without antivirus.....
Any ideas will be great as of how to troubleshoot the slow performance....
Thank you!

Hi,
As Sam suggested, please check if there any issue occurred in hard drive.
On current situation, please also refer to following steps and troubleshoot, then check if we can find more
clues.
Please check if you have installed all necessary updates for the Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if there has software conflicts.
Please use Resource Monitor to troubleshoot and check if we can find some more details.

Windows Server 2012 very slow performance executing files

Hello,
I am running windows server 2012 as dc with 2 clients connected running win7 pro x64, this is a new setup.
Whenever i try to open a large file from the client or an application from the client it takes forever to startup or to load. The performance monitor indicates a maximum workload of 15% at all times.
I have tried all the following potential solutions i found, however none of them seem to do the trick.

How to fix iTunes extremely laggy/slow performance?

Hi, does anybody know of a way to fix iTunes' extremely slow performance?
Just about every action in iTunes takes ages to perform. Below are two YouTube movies demonstrating the problem.
Examples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGSQZ50GPa0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDFHRejnA4A
Thanks in advance,
Jasper.
ps. iTunes used is the newest iTunes 8.0.1.11

Definitely NOT a Windows only problem! It happens on my PowerBook G4 (I've even added more memory with no improvement - it's beginning to drive me mad!) It's specifically an iTunes 8 problem (iTunes 7 was absolutely fine for me - no problems at all). Unfortunately I can't reinstall iTunes 7 because I updated my iPhone firmware which then locked me into using iTunes 8...so essentially Apple locks you into using iTunes 8 even though it's crap and slow.

Slow Performance when program was once 100% proficient

I am working on a 2011 Macbook Pro - OS X version 10.9.5
For over a year I have been working in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on this computer with no issues. Recently the program began running EXTREMELY slow - for example., taking well over an hour to render video that previously would render in only a minute or two. Went to Apple - thinking it was my MAC - diagnostics on the MAC show the computer itself is fine.
Purchased Premiere Elements 13 (liked the new features and offerings) and was naively hoping it would fix my slow performance issue.
But program is still running horribly slow.
Any suggestions or similar issues?

laurabodey
Premiere Elements 11 or 13 on Mac Computer.
Which program do you want to troubleshoot first?
Let us assume Premiere Elements 11....
1. Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk
Where are the Scratch Disk pointing and how much free space is at that location
Please assure a clean up of any pile ups of any preview files (Adobe Premiere Elements Previews File Folder), conformed audio files (Media Cache Files Folder), and conformed audio (best cleaned out through Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and the Media Cache Database area Clean button.
2. Download, install, and run the free ccleaner.
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download?mac
3. How much installed RAM does you computer have? Are your source media stored on external hard drive (with the appropriate formatting for Mac)?
4. Does the information in online articles such as the following make any impact on your situation?
Seven ways to free up drive space | Macworld
Let us start here and then decide what next.
I am strictly and Elements Windows user who tries to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to address some of these issue. So, I am
not all that great on Mac locations. Please help me translate from Windows to Mac if necessary.
We will be watching for your results.

Slow performance from Premiere Elements 10

Hi guys,
I recently purchased Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements 10 to edit some wedding video. I am experiencing some slow performance with the software (and random lockups for that matter). My CPU usage shows nearly nil when using the program and with IE with multiple tabs open at the moment and the Premiere Elements open, I am showing that I still have about 5GB of RAM free. However, I am still getting some slow performance from the software with random lockups. The video came from a sony HDR-CX700V camera, it is all 1080P video and there is about 3 hours worth of footage added to my current project. I imported the footage by just dragging and dropping the video folder contents into the "Project" tab within the program.
An example of the slow performance I get is this. I added a Title card to start before the video. When I hit play to see how it looks, the preview screen shows nothing, but you can see the time scrolling, then the video suddenly starts, but the video is really choppy. I also had a heck of a time just adding that title card, as when I did it the program crashed once and locked up a couple of times. Any ideas how I can fix this? What other information would you need to help me further troubleshoot the problem?
My system is has an i7-720 with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GTX260M with the latest driver from NVIDIA.
TIA guys!

One - your project must match your video... if you have a red line over the timeline immediately after importing the video, your project is wrong

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
Two - how many hard drives do you have, and how is your project configured?
My 3 hard drives to edit AVCHD are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files

CS5 or Pc Slow performance?

Hi there,I have a problem with my pc at work and because I am not quite sure in which one is exactly the problem I decide to ask you.The pc is intel pentium 4 with 3 Gb Ram XP professional service pack 3 Photoshop CS 5.
The pc is connected to server(data base).When I open a bunch of photos (20-30) approximately 8 - 12 MB each one and sometimes I experience a slow performance(for example I am trying to retouch/clone something and it takes a lot of time for the pc to redraw/respond) the interesting part is that it doesn't happen always(sometimes can be even 3 photos and it will take ages to do something) also I notice that after appr. 20 minutes it's suddenly start to work as it should normally(it's like there was an update and when is updated/complete everything is fine).When that start to happen today I restart CS5 and load the same photos and it work fine, so it is really bizarre for me.I put a 89% ram usage to the CS5(I pretty much use only all the time Photoshop and bridge ) also made the history steps to 7 and the cache to 6 for big and flat files.I was checking the Efficiency and it's all the time 100 % so it's like it's not the photoshop but like I said today i just restard the ps and upload the same photos and got fix...I tried to copy the photos on my hard drive(so it should not be affect of the performance of the server but still the same as when I take them straight from the server.Because the hard drive is only 80 gb ( I don't store anything there ) i did clean up and disk defragment still the same situation.Do you know what can be the problem and is it the Photoshop or the Pc?I'll appreciate it.
Thank you

Could be that your PC is sometimes looking to check things on the server, and maybe the server or network is busy/bogged down and you PC gets caught in that cycle mess.....so,
suggest next time you use Ps, set win performance monitor perfmon.exe or perfmon.msc ; setup to view graph of disk use and network activity and cpu usage.....then you may see/track a problem area.
on win7, task manager does most of the same stuff

Slow Performance - Java Related?

This is an old box that I bought used recently, but the system install is recent. The system performs very slowly - about 50% of the speed of comparable Mac's in the XBench database. If I use Xupport to manully run "All" of the system maintenance crons I get some improvement, but it quickly goes back to being slow.
Looking at my logs I have a "boat load" of Java errors under CrashReporter; there will be a string of "JavaNativeCrash_pidXXX.log" entries - many of them, as follows:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : Bus Error occurred at PC=0x908611EC
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=/usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib
NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.
Many of the line entries that follow, but not all of them, refer to SargentD2OL, which is a Java app, which I installed, but it did not work properly so I removed it. Yet I continue to get Java errors that refer to this now non-existant app.
I have read that Java apps use a lot of resources, and that D2OL in particular uses a lot of resources. Can my slow performance problem be Java related? If so, any idea of how I can fix this problem?
G4 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500 MHz, 512M RAM

Sorry to take so long to respond, but other issues in life have demanded my attention.
None of the solutions given have had any affect. My Java folder has both a 1.3.1 and a 1.4.2 app - the Java Update 2 will not reinstall because it sees an up-to-date app in the folder. But reading the update file it says the older Java will be removed - but it is still there. Problem?
On XBench the system scores a 9 to 10, while similar boxes on the XBench database score around 18 to 20. My cpu, memory, and video scores are very low. The HD through-put scores are the only ones that are normal. TechTool Pro 4 finds no problems. I have removed the memory sticks one at a time and retested after each cycle - no difference.
I have two drives, each with a 10.3.9 install. One works fine, scores around a 17 on XBench, the other scores a 9 to 10. So it appears to be a software problem. The slower install is a drive from a iMac G3 that has been moved to the G4 - are there issues with this?
My favored drive is the prior G3 one (newer and faster than the other drive that system tests faster in XBench) - it has my profile and all my info on it. It worked fine in the G3 - no problems.
Thanks for the help,

Slow Performance Weeks after Encryption

I encrypted my organization's laptops several weeks ago and did not return them to users until after I could tell by device performance that the bulk encrypting task had completed. I have two users that are experiencing extremely slow performance on their systems. When the users are typing anything like a Word document, upon each keystroke they see the Windows 7 "circle" icon at the mouse cursor. This seems to come and go several times over the week, and every few days we are getting a request to resolve the issue but after restarting the behavior may not act up anymore.
I found a TID suggesting to change HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell-FDE\Parameters\ThrottleEncryption to a lower level like Idle or BelowNormal. Is there anything else that I should also try? Thanks!

Yes, but nothing from Novell yet - I will keep pushing them forward and let you know if I get some results.

Hi,
We have had (maybe) similar issues with our FDE setup that FDE policy
assigned devices tend to loose the policy and start to do disk decryption
and suddenly get once again the policy back and start to encrypt again. This
could be found from "ZCM agent, Full disk encryption, about, Agents status,
Settings, on section "Emergency Recovery Information" you could see events
'Zone Changed' what according to Novell support meant that the policy was
"re-initialized / changed" even our policy counter have not changed = policy
got lost in some phase.
We are now suspecting that there is some issues with the policy service that
plays tricks on us.

In ZCC on the devices that you are having issues with look at the Emergency
Recovery tab and see if you have multiple listings in here that corresponds
to the slowness. If so your devices are decrypting and then re-encrypting.
Your mention of being asked to reboot leads me to believe that is what is
happening to you.
I have had a few SRs going on this one for a while and it got bumped to
backend but no info in a month or so.

Slow Performance, Windows with My Documents Redirection, path temp

I've been annoyed by the SLOW performace on Itunes for Windows ever since i purchased my iPhone, i think i know one reason for my slow performance now.
My Windowx-box is member of a domain (connected to a Windows Small Business server) and for security we use folder-redirection on "My Documents" folder (i.e instead of "C:\%username%\my documents\" we use \\server\%username%\my documents) this is a quite common setup on any businesscomputer using windows.
Itunes on windows defaults to storing its cache and library in My Documents and in my case its on \\server\ , this hurts performance tremendously since im on a wireless 54g connection.
I'd like to be able to configure where I want the library stored AND wich HD to put temp-files/cache on...
If this is something that takes ages to fix I welcome any reghacks or directions or wich file to hex-edit to make a workaround.

Copy the iTunes folder on the server to you local hard drive.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library*.
Select the *iTunes library.itl* file in the iTunes folder on your local drive.

Slow Performance Forms 10g !!!!

Hi,
I have migrated several forms from 6i to 10g and i use a 11g Database.
Most of the users accessing from different countries complain of slow performance but the basic idea of migration is to get a better performance. My users mostly work on laptops.
I am unable to find where the problem is. Is this might be due to network traffic since they are accessing via internet or any server related issues. Please help me to find and fix the problem and is there any tips for gaining better performance in using forms 10g.

So, were they running on 6i via laptop and accessing via the internet before you migrated ? (ie: was it 6i client server or 6i web forms)
Did you migrate the database too ?
Slow performance as in : it used to be seconds and now it's taking minutes ?

Slow performance on characteristic dimension filter

Hi folks, I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot something. We have a report in a cube that's been in production and stable for a while (a year or more). We're getting some complaints about slow performance, and I'm noticing that it takes 15 to 20 minutes for the selection screen to refresh with possible values for one of the characteristics of the Material dimension. The characteristic only has 3 possible values for my selection. I would expect it to take more like 1 or 2 minutes. What should I look at to find the cause? We're running BEx with version 3.0B of Business Warehouse.

Carolyn,
In the properties for the characteristic - set it to read data from the dimension table - this can be done from the BeX tab for the infoobject or from WAD if you are using a web template or from the properties in the characteristic in BeX..

Slow Performance or XDP File size very large

There have been a few reports of people having slow performance in their forms (tyically for Dynamic forms) or file sizes of XDP files being very large.
These are the symptoms of a problem with cut and paste in Designer where a Process Instruction (PI) used to control how Designer displays a specific palette is repeated many many times. If you look in your XDP source and see this line repeated more than once then you have the issue:
The problem has been resolved by applying a style sheet to the XDP and removing the instruction (until now). A patch has been released that will fix the cut and paste issue as well as repair your templates when you open them in a designer with the patch applied.
Here is a blog entry that describes the patch as well as where to get it.

My XDP file grow up to 145mb before i decided to see what was actually happening.
It appears that the LvieCycle Designer ES program sometimes writes alot of redundant data... the same line millions of times over & over again.
I wrote this small java program which reduced the size up to 111KB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wow what a bug that must have been!!!)
Here's the sourcecode:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class MakeSmaller {
private static final String DELETE_STRING = "                           <?templateDesigner StyleID aped3?>";
public static void main(String... args) {
BufferedReader br = null;
BufferedWriter bw = null;
try {
   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
   bw = new BufferedWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(args[0] + ".small")));
   String line = null;
   boolean firstOccurence = true;
   while((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
    if (line.equals(DELETE_STRING)) {
     if (firstOccurence) {
      bw.write(line + "\n");
      firstOccurence = false;
    } else {
     bw.write(line + "\n");
     firstOccurence = true;
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
   if (br != null) {
    try {
     br.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   if (bw != null) {
    try {
     bw.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
File that gets generated is the same as the xdp file (same location) but gets the extension .small. Just in case something goes wrong the original file is NOT modified as you can see in the source code. And yes Designer REALLY wrote that line like a gazillion times in the .xdp file (shame on the programmers!!)
You can also see that i also write the first occurrence to the small file just in case its needed...

Troubleshooting/fixing slow performance?
