Trying to fix Sluggish System

My Firefox has been slow for a while. I see online some say to reinstall 3.5 or to make a new profile. After the xorg 1.7 upgrade, however, I had to switch to nouveau drivers instead of nvidia and now my system seems unbearably slow sometimes. When I launch an app or save a spreadsheet, it takes literally a few seconds. Should be fast on a dual core 2G CPU with 2 G RAM.
My only thought is to downgrade xorg as per http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 93#p651793 and try to return to nvidia.
I also have a bug with nouveau that sometimes colors change at random in FF and Thunderbird. What happens it that half the text on a page on FF suddenly goes white, for no known reason. I must restart FF and then it's OK. I realize this is *may* be a bug with nouveau and not Arch, but anyway I need a stable system.
any other suggestions beyond the above forum post?
Thanks.

  • How can I fix my system preferences so the system preferences window don't freeze up every time I open it?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
    Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Fix for System Preferences Keyboard Shortcuts crash

    This is not a question, but a solution to a problem that proved difficult to identify and fix for me and three Apple Support personnel, so I thought I should post it here in case others encounter the same issue. I spent a lot of time searching the web and Apple Discussions for this and related issues did not come up with any solutions.
    After migrating from Snow Leopard on 2009 MacBook Pro to Yosemite on a new MBP using the Migration Assistant, things went surprisingly smoothly for the most part, until I opened the Keyboard pane of System Preferences. Then, clicking on the Shortcuts tab immediately caused System Preferences to crash, reproducibly.
    Crash Reporter pointed loosely to a keyboard-related preference setting. But "com.apple.preference.keyboard" is the name of an OS process, not a .plist file. I searched the web to try to find out where Keyboard Shortcut settings are stored in Yosemite, and also for a possible way to reset the settings to default in Terminal (e.g. using the "defaults" routine), without success. (Apple Support was not happy that I had Terminal open when they shared my screen, and seemed never to have heard of this routine).
    Process:               System Preferences [948]
    Application Specific Information:
    objc_msgSend() selector name: retain
    com.apple.preference.keyboard v.14.0 (Keyboard)
    objc[948]: GC: forcing GC OFF because OBJC_DISABLE_GC is set
    Repairing disk permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, zapping the PRAM, and trashing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences, some keyboard-related .plist files, and the system prefs and International prefs caches did not fix the problem. With Apple Support, we isolated the problem to my user account, as the same crash did not occur in a test account, or in another account migrated at the same time. Nevertheless, Apple's techs had me removing various menu items and programs also running in these accounts that I had deactivated (Sophos AntiVirus, Little Snitch, etc), and downloading and reinstalling Yosemite, which seemed unlikely to address the cause, given that my main user account was the only one affected.
    Apple never had me check 3rd party preference panes (which I should have thought to do earlier myself). Opening and closing an older version of Default App ((RCDefaultApp 2.0.1), a free 3rd party utility, in the Preferences pane, transiently solved the problem. However, it recurred on removing it, and was not fixed by installing the latest release of this preference pane, nor did removing three other 3rd party preferences panes (MacFUSE, a Citrix app, and Flash Player).
    Finally I went back to ~/Library/Preferences and looked for any files that had been modified around the time the problem transiently disappeared, and stumbled upon com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist. After viewing its contents with Property List Editor and finding this article, I thought that this file was likely the problem.
    I logged into my root account, verified that Shortcuts worked fine there, and that this file changed with a change in Shortcut settings, and (after renaming the offender to save it as a backup), replaced the file in my main user account with a copy of the one from the root account.
    I repaired permissions in the offending account, rebooted, and voilà - problem solved!
    NB If you are in a similar situation, before trying this fix (at your own risk!), I strongly advise backing up your computer first, and saving a copy of the presumed offending file in case you have to put it back because of unforeseen consequences. You do not need to enable and use the root account; instead you could log in to a new administrator account, or another user account, verify that Shortcuts works fine there (it would not be a bad idea to set up any user-defined App Shortcuts you want there); and copy the file to a shared folder.
    Then switch back into the offending account, go to your user Library/Preferences folder (~/Library/Preferences using Go To Folder in Finder), and replace com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist in that account with the one from the shared folder. You should then repair disk permissions afterwards and restart.
    If it works, Shortcuts should open fine. Be sure to check each category  in the left-hand panel of the Shortcuts panel (e.g. LaunchPad & Dock, Mission Control, etc.) for conflicts, and resolve those by disabling the offending duplicate key combination assignments (I had two, marked by yellow triangle alerts).

    Thanks, V.K., for your comments.

    not for me. it's both displayed and treated differently. I suspect what you are seeing is a byproduct of using a haxie such as Menu Master.
    no it's not. it's treated differently.
    In Leopard, Menu Master let me assign Command+Enter to Address Book > Edit Card. When I attempt the same using Keyboard Shortcuts, both Command+Return and Command+Enter are displayed as Command plus a "return arrow." After that, in Address Book, both Command+Return and Command+Enter invoke the "Edit Card" menu action.
    not for me.
    if you want to use those keys in the shortcuts use one of the many 3rd party app launchers. any one of them will let you do this: Qucisilver, Butler, Spark, Launchbar, ikeys, quickeys etc.
    I've been using QuicKeys since the beginning of time, and I have some experience with Butler and LaunchBar. They're useful for what they do. But, as far as I know, none add keyboard shortcuts that are displayed directly in the menus. That display feature is what makes Menu Master and Systems Prefs > Keyboard Shortcuts so attractive.
    that's because Menu Master is a haxie. none of the other programs mentioned are. you want such functionality you are going have to use a haxie. personally - i stay away from them as they destabilize the system.
    When I'm considering new shortcuts, I use KeyCue to display all current shortcuts in a single display. KeyCue now displays QuicKeys shortcuts in the same display, which is a big help.

    I am having a lot of trouble downloading itunes.My latest error message is that MediaToolbox.dll is missing. I have been trying to fix this for three days now .And it all started with the last update .Can anyone help?

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    I had failed to mention in my previous comments that each time the attempted attacks took place, a blank Adobe PDF page appeared. As you suggested, I disabled the Adobe add-on and have had no further attacks. I am extremely dilligent in keeping my SuperAntiSpyware Pro, AvastAntiVirus 5.0, ThreatFire, Vista Firewall Control, Malewarebytes and Windows Defender up to date. However, after any attack I always run these in safe mode just as a precaution. I had suspected the Adobe drop-in may have been the culprit because of the page that appeared and your suggested fix has in fact fixed it!

    Hello Deaf Dave.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    Also, it's possible that your system is infected with malware. To scan for malware, install, update and run these programs ''in this order''. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in their "free mode", but the features you'll miss are not really needed to find and remove the problem you have. Remember that ''not all programs detect the same malware''!

  • Not starting on after trying to fix Kernel Panic crash

    hello
    my macbook pro crash, at first once few days, and now once couple hours.
    it notified a KERNEL PANIC, asking to restart the computer. i have done it few times, without doing anything else in order to fix it.
    today i tried to fix the kernel panic.
    first i tried to click the 'c' during restart, but the system didn't download and got stuck in the apple display, without downloading.
    with another restart the system downloaded well.
    second i tried to use the COMMANDOPTION+PR click while starting up, and it also got stuck in the apple window display.
    but now, also re-restarting, while clicking nothing, the system don't downloading and staying stuck in the apple display.
    what can i do to fix it?
    i feel lost, would appriciate any help!
    thanks, avihay.

    yeah, i'm sorry for the mess.. I'll try to make it clear..
    i tried the hardware test and it found nothing.
    i boot again from the correct disk, which came with my machine. i set the disk utility from it, and repaired the hard disk. it said that my hard disk is ok.
    will it be ok now? or is the disk utility was unnecessary because on the hardware test the hardware have found to be ok. and in that case - would i need to re-install the operating system and backup everything first? or can it be ok just now, without more coming kernel panics?
    thnx

  • Problems trying to do a system restore

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4717 laptop. My touchpad mouse is only working intermittently. I have updated all the drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled the mouse, nothing is working. The tech support people tell me it's not a hardware problem since it does work occasionally, and that my best option is a full system restore with the restore discs. I don't have my restore discs.
    I am trying to restore the system from the computer's hard-drive. I've tried following the directions, but the computer asks for an admin password before I can proceed past the first screen and I don't have that. Is there a way to fix that?
    Also, is there a screenshot tutorial on how to restore the system? Because the instructions given on this website do not match what is appearing on my computer screen.

    Satellite A215-S4717 
    See the section Hard Drive Recovery Utilities starting on p. 57 of the User's Guide.
       Satellie A210/A215 Series User's Guide
    If your model does not have those, then you will need to order recovery discs.

    Heres the fix for "System Error" error message when trying to open search and the dictionary...Open main menu->applications, Scroll down to the last app's icon and press the options button and choose organize, now select the last icon and choose remove, now it will ask "yes" or "no" wait there for 5-6 secs and give "no" and then choose "done", now the icons would refresh revealing the "Search", "Dictionary" and "Update" apps on the screen...No you will not get the "System Error" messages..

    If you're on Mavericks, boot and hold down the Command and R keys. That should bring up the recovery partition. From there you can reinstall. It sounds like you're not exactly sure what you did, so a clean install might be your best option. To do that, run Disk Utility from the recovery partition and reformat the drive then exit Disk Utility and reinstall. Be careful to back up all your stuff first. If it were me I'd make an image of the existing drive with Carbon Copy Cloner and selectively bring stuff back after fixing the system.
    I'd get all this resolved before adding an SSD into the mix. That's relatively easy but you have kind of a mess right now. Usually an SSD is a smooth installation but there are sometimes problems with internal SATA cables and you don't want to be troubleshooting multiple issues at once.

  • I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.

    I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • What happens if BC can't fix a system error?

    I am really concerned about a system error we are getting www.simona.com.au/simona
    I posted this a few days ago, have tried deleting catalogs and start again, same error.
    Have submitted to BC support, but all I keep getting is "thanks for your patience" messages..
    In fact, I am not being patient at all, I am immensely frustrated, embarrassed and impatient!
    What I'm really concerned about is, that BC won't be able to fix this system error at all. Where do I go from there?
    This is a new client, new website and we were supposed to have finished their e-commerce section this week, but can't go any further until the system error is fixed.. Contacted BC a week ago, but still getting those annoying "thanks for your patience" messages..
    I get that they're working on it and they're only human, but what happens if it can't be fixed? Do we just give up and lose thousands of dollars???

    What's actually happening? You haven't described your system issue. Someone in the forum community may be able to help troubleshoot it.

  • Trying to fix up a broken SL script to work with Lion

    I'm a totally new to applescripting. I'm trying to fix the code below that changes the sensitivity of my mouse in system preferences. It's these two lines that don't work"\:
    =======
    click menu item "Mouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
    delay 2
    set value of slider "Tracking Speed" of window "Mouse" to trackingValue
    =======
    Heres' the entire script:
    set trackingValue to 5
    --Open and activate System Preferences
    tell application "System Preferences" to activate
    --Attempt to change settings using System Events
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
             try
                  --Open the "Keyboard & Mouse" pane
                  click menu item "Mouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
                  delay 2
                  set value of slider "Tracking Speed" of window "Mouse" to trackingValue
                  --end tell
             on error theError
                  --An error occured
                  display dialog ("Sorry, an error occured while altering Keyboard and Mouse settings:" & return & theError) buttons "OK" default button "OK"
             end try
        end tell
    end tell

    OK, I was able to figure it out:
    --Decrease mouse sensitivity to a value of 2
    --Open and activate System Preferences
    tell application "System Preferences" to activate
    --Attempt to change settings using System Events
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            try
                --Open the "Keyboard & Mouse" pane
                click menu item "Mouse" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
                delay 0.5
                click radio button "Point & Click" of tab group 1 of window "Mouse"
                set value of slider 1 of tab group 1 of window "Mouse" to 2
            on error theError
                --An error occured
                display dialog ("Sorry, an error occured while altering Keyboard and Mouse settings:" & return & theError) buttons "OK" default button "OK"
            end try
        end tell
    end tell

  • Tried the fix from last contact and still does not look right.

    I tried the fix that you recommended and that had no effect. The colors on some web sites are off to the point that I can not read the material since the colors are so dark or even one site came up with an all black background that I never had that before on that site. Some sites are scrambled so much that it shows the site as an outline looks when writing a paper. On Monzilla, when you click on; i.e., 'cut' the bar highlights but the writing on the bar becomes so faint that you can not make it out. I never had this problem until I allowed the latest version to load. I also shut down the computer but that had no effect. If I look for something and use Yahoo it comes up with writing over writing on some lines. So why did this occur?

    That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.

    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
