  • Very slow Aperture on MacBook Pro 2.16 Duo

    Hi All,
    This is most likely a topic that has been covered before but Ive looked and cant find the answer. Ive got a 1.5 yr old MacBook Pro 2.16 intel duo with 2GB RAM (its maximum )
    I bought Aperture 2 a few months ago, and its now started to run very, very very slow. I store my referenced files on a Lacie Drive (USB 2), however the issue seems to be that when I start browsing, exporting, editing and generally moving around the program, it gets to a point when the beach ball is on spinning overload. My Mac's fan is wizzing round like mad, It sounds like the things going to take off! Im really starting to lose faith and seriously looking at lightroom, but I love the structure on aperture. I have taken my Laptop to a mac store and even they have had a look over it, and cant understand why it runs slow. Its really disappointing that if its a hardware issue I cant do anything about it, plus I easily surpass the min specs to run it. Its holding up my workflow and costing me money in delivering files to clients!
    Any help what so ever would be great,
    Cheers Guys
    Matt

    I'm running the same model Duo with a 120GB drive and an external LaCie. It does not support the 800 Firewire, just the 400.
    Aperture runs adequately fast, although after two months I'm still learning a lot about the features. The search HUD seems a bit slow, but I do have alot of pictures.
    My Aperture Library is 14GB, 13,000 files, 90% are jpegs. All picture files are referenced and take up an additional 17GB.
    I found Aperture (and Parallels) choking whenever the free space on my internal drive gets down below 6-8GB. Some non-Apple forums recommend keeping at least 10GB free for working with media intensive apps like Aperture. I also find that even when I quit Aperture, it doesn't free up the temp space on the disk drive it had used. Restarting regularly recovers the 1.5GB or so that Aperture was leaving behind after quitting.
    I'm slowing breaking the big project I had with 11,000 files into several smaller projects and migrating the referenced files to an external LaCie. File management, renaming files, finding duplicates, etc., is not an Aperture strong point, (Expression Media is better at file and metadata management, but has limited editing and integration features with iLife, etc.) but over all I'm satisfied with performance on the Core Duo with an external monitor attached.
    Cheers,
    Flack

  • Running Aperture and Slow Performance on MacBook Pro

    I am running a MacBook pro w 4 GM interal memory, lost of HD space, and OS 10.8.4.  Often when working with Aperture system performance seems very sluggish to the point of becoming unuseable.  Export of 20 images to mail can take 10 min.  It just becomes so slow as if strangled for memory.  I find I shut down other apps but don't think this should be necessary with current OS technology.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Have you checked what it going on, when Aperture becomes sluggish?
    I'd recommend to launch some diagnostic tools, if you have not already done so:
    Aperture's own "Activity Viewer": From the main menu bar: Window > Show Activity
    This will tell you, how Aperture is spending its time : rendering, previews, scanning for faces or places, raw processing. Inparticulur, check, if Aperture is hanging while processing one particular image or video over and over again.
    The Console window: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Look, if you see error messages or warnings in this window, when Aperture starts to hang.
    The Activity Monitor: Launch it from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. This window will tell you, which processes are using the cpu, the RAM, and doing page outs to the disk. You can see, if other processing are competing with Aperture and slowing it down, orif Aperture is starved for memory.
    How large are images? Do you have very large raw files or scans, or are your photos moderately sized?
    Is your library on the internal drive or an external drive?
    Do you see this slowness only with your main Aperture library, or also, if you create a new, small library with a few test images?

  • Slow performance from macbook pro

    I am running a macbook pro on 10.6.8.  Generally speaking it is very slow and speed doesn't always seem to correlate to the load, though the load does tend to run high. On average it's 1.5-2 load, even at times where it gets down to about 1 it is not uncommon for programs to take seconds to launch, the keyboard buffer gets backed up when i'm typing and i'll type for 10 seconds and nothing will display, then it'll catch up and display all of the words i've typed. Often times in Terminal mode even if i try to run a simple command like launching a text editor like joe, it'll take 5-10 seconds to load.
    I usually have outlook open but even when i close it, it doesn't decrease the load very much. 
    Any ideas on where to start?

    Start with:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    And, also:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Lion Cache Cleaner, CockTail, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup

  • Suddenly VERY Slow Internet On Macbook Pro

    My MacBook Pro is less than a year old, running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. A few days ago, the internet suddenly became very, VERY slow. My computer says it is receiving a full signal, and my girlfriend's computer (a Dell, I might add) is on the same wireless network and is working great. I have tried everything suggested to me when searching for the problem online: I've reset my router and modem (but again, my girlfriend's computer is working well on the very same connection and my MacBook claims to be getting a full signal), checked for software updates, emptied Safari's cache, reset Safari, disabled plug-ins, tried Chrome and Firefox (the problem persisted), scanned for a DNS changer and viruses/spyware (the scan came up clean), added open DNS servers, reset my TRAM, repeaired disk permissions and have restarted throughout this process. I cannot trace this changed internet speed to anything - I have no idea what has caused it or how to fix it. Please help!

    That deletes system caches that may help. A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop click the Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    If that didn't help, try uninstalling Sophos >  http://help.bol.ucla.edu/app/answers/detail/a_id/879
    Then try your browsers. It could be the security software that's slowing your browsers down.
    If that helps, you could try a different anti virus software such as ClamXav. It's free and Lion v10.7 compatible.

  • Search on Safari is very slow on my MacBook Pro. Sometimes it doesn't even finish.

    Post in the Safari community for whichever os is installed on your computer.

  • Windows 7 very slow on 2012 MacBook Pro?

    When I first got my MacBook Pro in September 2012, I installed Windows 7 on it. I was really impresed how fast and smutch it was, but then after couple of weeks I deleted it. Now I installed it again and it got really slow. I have to wait like 5 seconds just for the Internet Explorer to open. What happened? Does the Windows get slower every time you install and delete it? Is it okay to do that or is it bad for the hard drive? By the way, its the base model MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5, 500GB hard drive, Intel HD Graphics 4000, and 4GB RAM. Thanks for help!

    The windows 7 enterprise disk I was using included service pack 1. I think bootcamp didn't like that the disk was sp1. I downloaded the non service pack iso and it installed just fine. I had been using a fully updated os 10.6.7. It works now.

  • Express very slow with new MacBook Pro

    I have a 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro, a Mac Mini and an AirPort Express. When I connect to this network with a 1st gen Core Duo (802.11G) machine, transfer rates between computers run at typical G speeds. When I connect with the 2.4 Ghz machine, transfer rates between it and the Mini are much, much slower - less than 20% as fast as the 802.11G MBPro.
    All machines have updates and show four bars of signal strength. I have no idea why the new MBPro is so dramatically slow.

  • Slow performance with macbook pro retina

    Saving an image (JPEG) with my lightning fast new macbook pro 2012 retina edition takes 30-60 seconds.  Any ideas why?  Mountain lion Mac OS, 8GB RAM.  Can't upgrade RAM but shouldn't have to!  I moved images to external hard drive since I was filling up memory on laptop quickly.  I would appreciate ideas from anyone who knows Elements and Mac .  Thanks.

    This is my only computer now. Will check into auto analyzer (never heard of it). This is Elements 11, not the whole photoshop.  It is the regular, not app version.  I did move some of the photos from a past pc to it, but it seems to have the same slow speed with new photos as well.  I installed Elements 11 on my mac with a disc.  When I bought it, it came with both pc and mac discs.  A guy at the apple store had me move all the photos onto my external hard drive.  Its a new Apple 3 TB external hard drive.  I actually tried to increase the RAM at the suggestion of my camera club friends who had similar problem and got relief with increasing RAM of 4 up to 12 or 16.  Mine is 8 and can't be increased. 

  • Very slow Time Machine MacBook Pro Mid 2009

    After installing Mavericks Back-up for my MacBook has become very slow. I checked firmware update as recommended by some, but that was rejected by the application provided for by Apple. Also a larger back-up device did not do the job. To back up 1.15 GB took about 30 mins. Before a back-up would take just minutes or maybe 1 hour, if I had not backed up for some days.
    Any ideas?

    Running Virtual Box and based on the number of 'Page Outs' swaps more RAM would be useful.  Your MBP will accept up to 8 GB RAM with the following specifications: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    Ciao.

  • .MKV files play very slow on my MacBook Pro (3gb ram).  What do u suggest?

    Hey FOlks.
    Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing slow rendering (playing) of .MKV files on their MacBook Pro. And what to do?
    I have Perian, but Im not convinced QT or Front Row can play .MKV files.
    What do you recommend? What software for mac that can handle .MKV files good?
    CoreAVC?
    -Joey

    It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
    It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to properly support the Apple platform. I have found this:
    http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
    which may help.
    But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
    2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.

  • Very Slow Streaming from MacBook Pro to Apple TV

    I am trying to stream movie from my MacBook to my Apple TV but the movies do not stream. My library shows up on my Apple TV and when I select them they do not load. After a few minutes a message will show up saying, "An error occurred loading this content, Try again later." I have had my Apple TV for about 5 months and have not had any problems streaming content before except when I had to do some port forwarding through my router but about a week ago it started with this issue. I have a PC hooked up to my network and am able to stream from that without any problems. My MacBook is running OSX 10.8.2 with iTunes 11.0.1, my Apple TV is running 5.1.1. Please help with any suggestions you might have.

    now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement
