U410 Suddenly Slow

This has been going on for some time now. I ran MalwareBytes and CCleaner to get rid of any malware, cleaned my registry using CCleaner, and still am having these issues:
*Slow login after entering password
*Slower connection to webpages
*Slower video streaming
*Delayed responses using the trackpad & trackpad driver failures
*Overall, slower computer all-around
Specs:
Windows 8 64-bit (NOT 8.1)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8050MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce 610M
I have double checked that my drivers are updated, but wonder if upgrading to 8.1 and having those October 2013 drivers would help any.
Thanks guys,
Will

Dear wghanson
You can try do a recovery for the machine to get it to the factory state but make sure to do a backup for you data first
press on the small button with the arrow to start the recovery process while the machine is off and make sure that the charger is connected.
Thanks

10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely. When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again. Any idea what the problem is? Here is my EtreCheck report:

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge. Suspect the black is low in ink or defective. Please check all cartridges.

Sudden slow down in data transfer

I'm reading data from the hard disk on a Target PXI System (8106 RT) and sending it via Ethernet to a Host PC and writing it to its hard disk. I read a chuck of data from the Target, send it using TCP Write function. The Host uses the TCP Read function get the data and write it to its hard disk. Data is being transfer over a Gbit Ethernet. A total of 9 files ranging in size from 700 MB - 2 GB are being transferred. The process moves along at an adequate speed until it suddenly slows down to slower than a snail's pace in the middle of a file.
By using probes (see enclosures) I've been able to determine it take approximately 17 seconds between when the data is read on the PXI to when it is written on the Host. However, an iteration of the loop on the Target has increased to over 3 minutes. The CPU usage on the Target and Host are minimal, less than 1%. Memory usage on the Host is also small. Any suggestions on how to diagnose what has caused this sudden slow down?

I would recommend using smaller chunk sizes for your data transfers. I would recommend something inthe 10K to 50K range. I have done quite a bit of profiling for sending large amounts of data and I have found that it is better to send lots of smaller chunks rather than fewer large chunks. Also make sure that you are not automatically building up large buffers in your application if you are using shift registers. If you are reading from a file read the file in chunks and send the chuncks. Don't read the whole file in in one read. One experiment I ran resulted in a single read of a large file (2 MB or so) took something like 10 minutes to read it in one read. However it only took a couple of 100 ms to read the whole thing in 10K chunks. Same applies to wrinting very large chunks using the TCP write. You can easily get a timeout if you write 1 MB as a single write because the receiver has not consumed all of the data within the timeout period. However, multiple small writes will reset the timeout for each chunk written.

Seems to have worked.
We hooked up the external HD, turned on Time Machine, and everything backed up.
Then we ran Disk Utility. The disk repair required the reboot thing and took two tries. Then repaired permissions. Also updated Flash.
Seems to be running okay now, but we have ordered a new SSD (as well as a new iMac 5k ). We use multiple computers so hoping we can get a couple more years of use out of this old computer as it ran fast and fine until this problem.
Thank you so much for your help! We really appreciate it.

Sudden slow down after an auto-shutdown - kernel_task running hot.

Hi,
I was playing Braid on supremely low battery, and my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011) running 10.7.2, automatically turned off. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Booted it up next morning and it is so incredibally slow. No warning, no gradual slow down, just all of a sudden. No peripherals attached at all.
Checked my Activity Monitor, kernal_task is running at 330mbs, from what I've seen that is pretty bad. That's the only thing I can see that is out of the ordinary.
Anyone want to take a stab at the cause of this sudden slow down? It's making using my laptop very very tedious.

Note: In Safe Mode kernal_task is running at 220mbs. Is that a clue? I don't know.

File Suddenly Slows Down

What do I do when a file suddenly slows down? It takes 20 to 30 seconds for one sentence of text to slowly appear on the screen after I type it.
Problem is associated with one chapter (file) in a book of twenty. The other 19 are fine. Same symptoms when the same file is opened in another computer.
I tried starting with a new, blank chapter, copied and pasted the text and the problem reappeared.
I tried starting with another new, blank chapter, and retyped all the text. The problem soon came back.
I don't know if the problem is associated with a photo I place into the file, or with some text, or what.
Please help, very frustrating to not be able to work.
Thank you,
Henry

Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping

Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You

Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

Dreamweaver suddenly slow?

Running CS4 on Mac OSX v 10.5.8, PowerPC G5, 1.5 GB RAM. Normally Dreamweaver runs fine -- not super speedy, but workable. Every now and then, it suddenly slows down. Today it's taking over a minute for the beachball to stop spinning after changing a margin for a div, or even to load a page. Everything else is closed except Firefox (and even rebooting and having nothing else open doesn't solve it.) MacFileCache-********.dat has been deleted, still no help.
When this has happened before, time has solved the problem. Except, of course, I have a final project due next week and I need to get some serious work done this weekend. I'll cry if I have to code everything by hand in a text editor... Help!
Kathy A.

I had tried that the last time I had this same situation, with no improvement.
Since I posted, I have found one new thing that may shed light on the situation. It's only happening on pages where I have smart objects on the page. It doesn't happen every time I have a smart object, but the larger the original Photoshop files, the more likely it is to happen. I took one of the offending pages, removed all the images in a text editor (for other reasons), saved, and then accidentally opened it in Dreamweaver -- it worked like, well, a dream. Added back one smart object (small file size for the png, but large PS original file), and it took over 90 seconds to change the padding of a div on the page. Took the smart object back out, and back to normal.
The only thing I can think of at this spot is that 1.5 megs of RAM just isn't enough to work with large originals. If that's the case, I can live with the extra step of resaving png's out of Photoshop everytime I modify the original file. (Not going to throw more ram into this computer when I'm saving up for an Intel-chipped Mac.) If it's something else, I'd love to know what I'm doing that's causing it.

Photoshop CS5 suddenly slow.

Never seen this before. My 8 core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro has 10 GB RAM and a blank 100 GB scratch disk. Photoshop is always quick. Has been for years. Suddenly today, Photoshop is slow like molasses to open & save files. Lots of progress bars and wait cursors. Everything else on the Mac is fine. It boots quickly & normally, and other apps are happy. My boot drive, a clean installed Mountain Lion system, says S.M.A.R.T. Status: Verified. In Activity Monitor, a process with ID # 0, Kernel Task, was using 700 to 800 MB RAM, while another process, mds, with ID # 44, is using 350 MB RAM. Does anybody know what is going on?
I should add that I booted from a backup system and its copy of Photoshop was also doing the same thing. In addition, a high level troubleshooter on Apple Discussions informed me that my present level of 500 MB RAM for Kernel Task is normal. So all I know is Photoshop is suddenly slow.

There's a fair bit of noise in that thread, and at least some folks found the 13.0.1 update to fix things up or them.

Compressor suddenly slow

I am using DVDsp vers.3 on a G5 dual 2.0Ghz processor with 2.5GB ram.
I use the "build in background" preference when I import a 45 minute Qt video file (16:9 anamomorphic)for encoding. I have used this basic method for several years but all of a sudden the process is very slow, taking 4 hrs or longer to encode the 45 min.video before ever beginning the muxing process. The Mac console lists a "CGContextSaveGState2" problem but I don't know if this is related to sudden slow down. Does anyone have an idea what would cause the slow down?

Nick, thank you, good idea to keep things clean. apps in the final cut studio often seem to benefit from trashing prefs, too.

An application I have used for years suddenly slowed down.

A CAD application I have used for years suddenly slowed down to a crawl. It is virtually unusable. My other apps seem ok.
The application in question runs under Rosetta since it is a PPC app.
I have plenty of disk space and nothing obvious has changed. Any ideas how to resolve this problem will be appreciated.

Computer has suddenly slowed to a crawl

Hope you can help out there!
--MacBook has suddenly slowed down.
--Takes 2 minutes from login screen to seeing my desktop.
--Took 2 hours to repair permissions.
--Safari begins to start-up and then stalls. Have to re-start.
--Can't back up--Time Machine says "preparing" for 2 hours--I gave up.
--Tried to re-build directory with Disk Warrior--found lots of problems, but would not let me replace with the "preview" directory. It recommended I back-up the "preview" directory, but I didn't see any way to do that. Permissions repair went through quickly. Diagnostics on hard drive ("S.M.A.R.T." function) indicate that hard drive is OK.
--I've run Cocktail (latest version), and that went through okay.
--Have re-started the computer multiple times without beneficial effect.
--Now trying to back-up via Time Machine one more time--will let it stew overnight.
Any suggestions most welcome. THANK YOU.

Hello Robert:
As I indicated above, I think an archive and install would be something to seriously consider:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
An archive and install will install a fresh copy of OS X (which should be updated using the software update feature) while preserving your files, programs, and settings. As always, I strongly recommend a backup before any software update (Time Machine is a good solution).
An erase and install, IMHO, should be reserved for a disaster (I have never done one myself).
By the by, running GUI programs like OnYx (I have one that is pretty good - Cocktail), while not harmful, would not (IMHO) fix the sort of problems you describe. For example, OS X 10.5 runs the UNIX 'cron' (the daily, weekly and monthly processes mentioned above) automatically. There is no reason to manually initiate them. Also, the cache cleaning most of the GUI maintenance programs initiate may atually slow a system for a period of time. There is little or no reason to run any maintenance programs under OS X 10.5 - unless one is troubleshooting.

What causes a sudden slow-down of cursor movement?

I'm laying out a multi-authored volume in CS6, and when I get to one specific chapter, the cursor suddenly slows down and will barely work. Is there some sort of hidden formatting in the original text file that could be causing this?
