Very slow graphics when using AMD Radeon HD 6490M with Yosemite

I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro early 2011. When I switch to the GPU using gfxCardStatus (or because an app requires it), all graphics become very slow: window dragging, window miniaturize animation, moving the mouse in the menubar etc. 3D view in Maps.app is very slow. All is fine when using the integrated Intel HD 3000. I did not have this problem with Yosemite Developer Previews (I did not install the GMs), nor with Mavericks.
I tried using AMD kext from the DP, but things are worst (I suppose the kext are not loaded at all because the signature does not match).

Hi. I tried to do that with the same download package on my Pavilion DV6 CTO Quad edition and it fails to install the driver because of a conflict with the C++ Redistributable 2010 package build into the installer. Does anyone know if HP is going to update the switchable graphic drivers for Windows 8? They better!

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.

Exchange 2013 CU5 , Exchange Power Shell very very very slow reasponse when using get command.
First my organize has Exchange on 2 site like
site A (internet facing) : 2CAS 2 MB all are Services pack1
site B (DR Site , no user active on this site) : 2CAS 2MB all are Services pack 1
so today I upgrade Exchange 2013 from SP1 to CU5 start on "site B" and I found this issue and the details is....
When I open EMS on any CU5 for query something (like get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus) the response return very slow and some query will not return at all (like get-owavirtualdirectory).
But If I using EMS on SP1. Everything is ok then I try to use EMS on SP1 connect to CU5 and try to query something. the result is
some query command cannot return for any result that are server on siteB (just some query command)
Problem
EMS on CU5 return very slow result.
EMS on SP1 still ok.
Does anyone face this problem before for CU5??? Please help me figure this out. Thank you

Hi,
Have you used the above cmdlets to check your Exchange server health?
"all other command that I ran on EMS didn't logged on event viewer.", my environment is the same with you. I use Exchange 2013, only errors will be displayed in MSExchange Management. Actually, it is not related to slow EMS response.
Hope it helps.

Finder is very slow, particularly when using network drive

I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air, OSX 10.9.4, and Finder is extremely slow, particularly when I am navigating my Time Capsule. First, a little history.
I have tried the fixes listed in these three threads:
(1) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3358265?searchText=finder%20slow
(2) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1324280?searchText=Finder%20is%20slow
(3) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495797?start=30&tstart=0
Second, my Time Capsule is new. I bought it to replace a WD MyBook that used to work really well, and then something changed. Unfortunately, I assumed that it was some problem on WD's side, so after a year or two of waiting to see if either WD or Apple issued an update to fix it, I assumed it was some kind of file system incompatibility (or other interoperability problem) that wasn't likely to go away, and just sprung for the Time Capsule. However, after getting all the files on the Time Capsule, the problem remains. So here's a rundown of what I experience:
When I navigate the directories on my Time Capsule, if I haven't been in a particular folder, it takes a very long time to load the contents. On average, it will be 30 seconds, but it is not uncommon for it to be over a minute. This can happen even if a folder is empty or has just a few files in it. In addition, adding a subfolder and trying to rename it takes a very long time. After renaming a new folder, it can then take another full minute or more for the folder to actually show the newly assigned name and bounce into line in alphabetical order.
Here are some other observations. First, my connection is very fast, as I'm directly connected to the Time Capsule (albeit via wireless). Second, there is clearly something extra going on in Finder that is contributing to this issue, because I navigated to different directories using Terminal and did an "ls" command, and as you would expect, the list fired out virtually instantaneously. Yet, right after that, if I clicked on that same folder with Finder, it would take a minute or more to display the same file names.
Could it be that the Finder is doing other things at the same time as it is giving me a list of what is in the directory? For example, could the Finder be loading ALL metadata for each of the files into some database or index being built on the fly every time I pop into a new folder, even if I'm not using a view mode where I am asking to see those other bits of metadata? If so, that might make sense as I generally am using the network drive to navigate directories of my photographs, and they have a lot more categories of metadata associated with them than do Word docs and PDFs (e.g., date of picture, time of picture, aperture, shutter speed, exposure, etc.). Or, perhaps is Finder trying to load previews of ALL of the files whenever a directory request is made, so that bouncing through the previews takes less time? I sort of doubt that, because even after a directory listing finally comes up, it seems to churn a bit on each photo before the preview comes up, which I take as an indication that it's creating each preview only after a request is made for that particular file. Either way, I will say that in old WinXP and even in the newer Windows 7, if you want to view files in a Detailed setting where you can see other metadata (called "Attributes"), it definitely prioritizes giving you a directory listing, and then continues filling in the various selected Attributes one-by-one after that. Thus, if you want to sort by the date a photograph was taken (as opposed to its modified or created date, which seem to be default attributes that load as quickly (or nearly as quickly) as the filename), or by the photo's dimensions, it might take a few minutes to load in those attributes for a folder of a couple thousand pictures. But, critically, if you are not planning on using those attributes, but rather, merely want to see how many files you have in that folder, or select them all and load them into a photo viewer, you won't have to wait for the file system to load the file attributes before you get a listing of the folder's contents. It seems to me like the Finder, however, might actually be forcing you to wait until it has loaded all of those attributes.
Does the foregoing sound like a plausible explanation of the problem to those out there with knowledge of how Finder actually works? And if so, does that bring to mind any potential settings that could be turned off or any other work-arounds (since those I've tried have not fixed the issue)?
If anyone has other ideas, I am all ears. I am pretty annoyed that I sunk time into switching over to a Time Capsule on the assumption that Apple couldn't have had a bug this bad, only to find out that I was wrong. The biggest irony is that my old WinXP computer used to rip through the folder structures with ease on the MyBook, but my fully updated Air is practically crippled by the same task.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

DSL Connection Very slow ONLY when using wireless router

My DSL connection was running super slow (approx 136 Kbs) - I disconnected the Linksys wireless router and plugged by DSL modem directly into the computer. Then my internet speed increased to 1.4 Mbs (a 10 fold increase).
Any suggestions on how / why my speed drops so extensively when using the Linksys wireless routher (wrt45g).
Thanks

Are you using the same test each time to measure the speed?
The reason I ask is that Windows usually reports its download speed in KB/sec (Kilobytes per second). But most web (internet) speed tests report their speed in Mbps (Megabits per second.)
A 1.4 Mbps line will typically pass data at about 140KB/sec.
To help determine what kind of problem you are having, do the same speed test in 3 different ways:
1) Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
2) Connect one computer, by wire, directly to your router (all other computers and network devices should be off).
3) Connect one computer, wirelessly, to your router (all other computers and network devices should be off).
Report back your results, and also, please state what line speed you are paying for. Once we have this, we will hopefully be able to help you.

Very slow wirelesss when using iPhone 4S' personal hotspot for a MacBook Pro (MBP)...

Hello.
Last night, I was helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' personal hotspot as shown in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517 web page. It uses Verizon Wireless 3G for his 4 GB data cellular connection. We got the wireless (WPA2) connection to work fine, but it was very slow like crappy dial-up modem speeds. Is this normal? iPhone's iOS v8.1.2's top screen says 1X (is this a speed number?) and left of MBP. Updated Mac OS X 10.8.5's top screen shows an infinite(?) symbol instead of that wifi arc symbol.
Thank you in advance.

yes, 1x is a speed indicator, and it is very slow. Even with 3g speeds, hotspot will be pretty slow, but still ok for simple surfing and emails and such, streaming not so much. For hotspot, you really kinda want to have at least 4g, preferably LTE.
About that 1x speed, you may want to see if you get that everywhere or just in that location. Ideally, in a good coverage area, you should not be getting such slow speeds. Might have something to do with the building you are in though. If you get the same outdoors, and your coverage area is good, you may want to call in and have someone troubleshoot your signal.

Very slow queries when using oracle spatial

Hi,
I am new to oracle, please help with me the problem that I am facing.
I am storing spatial regions inside the data base. The data is in very simple in form. That is each region is a small rectangle. The boundaries of rectangle touch each other but they do not overlap. Basically I am filling the 2D space with rectangles.
I use the SDO_FILTER query to find regions inside the data base that intersect with a line. The data base contains a single table. With one column of type SDO_GEOMETRY. And the table has around 25000 tuples.
The problem is that when the result of the query is large (70% of the tuples) that means there are many regions in the cache that intersect the line, the amount of time it takes is a lot more(6 times) than if I do the same without using the R Tree.
I can do it without using the R Tree because all my objects are rectangles. I store the the left bottom and the top right corner of the rectangle in the data base. And then use a simple range query.
Is this behaviour expected? should I use an R Tree index structure, or something else. I know that when the result is very large the R Tree search will have to search many sub trees to retrieve the data points. But should the performance be worse than a sequential scan?
Or will indexes only work for cases where the selectivity of the query is high?
Please reply I need help,
Thank you,
Nishant

Hi,
I am using the version of spatial that we get with Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) or it could be
Oracle 9i release 2 (9.2.0.2).
I don't know how to check that.
Here I provide the create script, create index statement and a few sample data items that I insert into the data base.
Create Script:
create table out5d(

shape                          MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY,
HEIGHT                         NUMBER,
N                          NUMBER(9),

alter table out5d

primary key (ID);
Create Index:
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA VALUES ('out5d' , 'shape' , MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY( MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 0, 1, 0.0000001), MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 0, 1, 0.0000001) ), NULL);
CREATE INDEX out5d_rtree ON out5d(shape) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX;
I changed the fan out to 50. Because I read in the spatial user guide that in case you are expecting a big output result you should increase the fan out to 50 or 60.
Also here is a sample data items that I inserted into the tables.

Super slow connection when using additional linksys SD205 router with WRT54G

Hi there,
I have a WRT54G that distributes my cable modem's internet connection. All my wired and wireless connections work perfectly.
I recently got a Linksys SD205 5 port switch and connected it to a wired port on my WRT54G router, then connected 3 network devices to this 5 port switch (a mac running OS10.4.10, a pc running winXP SP2, and a network printer).
The problem with this setup is that my internet connection has now slowed to an absolute crawl - if it works at all.
I've tried switching cables but nothing makes a difference. Plugging directly into the WRT54G eliminates the problem - network speed goes back to normal.
What am i missing here? Shouldn't this type of setup just work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Brendan

The WRT54G firmware is version 8. I just upgrade to v8.02. and now everything's working fine. thanks for reminding me to do the obvious

Limited resolution when using Philips 8800 4k TV with Yosemite

I've a Philips UHD TV 8800series (55PUS8809/12) attached to my MacBook Pro Retina late 2014. I connected the screen to my laptop with Mavericks and could pick a 4k resolution from the display resolution picker. Then I updated to Yosemite. Since then I can only pick 1600x900, 720p, 1080i, 1080p resolutions. The 4k resolution is gone.
Any idea how this happened and how I can get this back ?

Hi Euchre,
Thanks for replying. My tv specs see below.

I have the one with no VGA port.
I have a mac ppc g4 1.42. I have received ram today in post so plan to do a full install of Leopard 10.5 and upgrade to 10.5.8.
I hope this is enough? Thanks again for the reply.

My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made.

Hello,
My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made, with those little moving lines indicating the selection (the lines that look like walking ants). When I'm adding to the selection, it's fine again, because the "ants" aren't moving, same with when I hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode--as long as the "ants" aren't moving, my Photoshop isn't slow. Is there any way to fix this? To either speed up Photoshop or to stop the "ants" from moving, and simply allow selections to be indicated by broken lines, but not moving broken lines?
Thanks

've never used a Mac before, recently i purchased a MBP13" which came loaded with LION OS by default. I upgraded the OS to OS10.7.2 when prompted. Now after the upgrade, my MBP feels very slow - specially when typing emails !! What is the solution ??

After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

wen6275,
It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot".
It looks like you're on a Mac. Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file. Would you mind elaborating?

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Text converted to graphics when using shapes from iWork

I'm in the process of constructing a web site and want to have a site directory along the right side of each page. I started off using square text boxes and making room for the directory by using iWeb's text wrap, adding an inline transparent square to a conveniently located paragraph and resizing it as necessary. However, I found that sometimes depending on which object was selected when I uploaded the site the square seemed to cover up my link box - possibly even when it was sent to the back.
Then I learned that I could use shapes from Pages and edit them in iWeb, so I created a polygon with an opening for the site directory, and used it for my text box on each page. That worked great in that the directory was no longer behind the text box. However when I uploaded the web site, I eventually realized that my text boxes were all converted to graphics.
As a test I created a page identical to an existing page with a square used as a text box, and it reverts to being text.
Here's my web site if anyone wants to check it out - look at the main page and also at the Test Page reachable from the directory on the right.
http://web.mac.com/peterynh
A couple questions:
1. Does this mean that shapes created using the drawing tool in Pages that are made editable and then modified in iWeb will always produce graphics when used as text boxes? Is there any way around this?
2. Is the same a problem if shapes are created in other programs (e.g. Illustrator)?
3. Is there any other way I haven't thought of to create the same basic design which would preserve the text boxes as text?
Thanks for any help!,

James - Thanks for the suggestions and ideas.
You know, I think it's possible to put a textbox
inside another text box......and in that fashion
still be able to wrap text in the main text box
around the interior text box. However, I am not sure
whether that will necessarily make all the text
converted into an image.
I tried that with interesting results. I couldn't resize the text box except through the Inspector for some reason. Once I pasted in the text, the box moved down below the site directory box to where there was room for a full-width text box; so it didn't accomplish the purpose.
About using iWeb's built-in text-wrap through adding an inline graphic:
This would work too...just make sure to select your
text box and click on the "Backward" button in order
to make sure that your main text box with the
transparent "placeholder" image is behind your
directory box that you want displayed. The same
thing can be achieved by selecting your directory box
and clicking "forward" so that it becomes the
frontmost element.
That makes sense. I tried that originally; maybe I wasn't careful about sending things to the front/back. The biggest problem is that if paragraphs don't line up with the site directory box, or if I edit text on the page, the text doesn't wrap very neatly around where I want it to. Otherwise this would be a good solution. I may end up doing this unless a better idea materializes, if such is even possible ...
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be interested to see if any better ideas appear; if none do in the next couple days I may just declare the problem solved as well as possible until iWeb 2.0 appears.

My firefox is running very slow, espically when I am typing, scrolling and in many simple activities. On the other hand my internet explorer is going normally like simple browser.
