Wetransfer js error causes my computer to slow down

Every time I send a file via WeTransfer I end up with a js error and then my MacBook Pro slows down to a grinding halt...literally. You can hear the hard drive grinding away. Every time I try to move the mouse or select a file or drop down I get the beachball which will hang for about 10-15 seconds before anything happens. I end up having to shut down all my programs and restarting to get the laptop back to normal. This only happens with WeTransfer. Any ideas what I can do to resolve the issue other than not using WeTransfer?

First my computer turns off and goes black, then this window shows up...
After that this shows up after typing in my password on the log in page...
If I leave the HD plugged in after clicking either response the computer will just shut down again.
If I unplug the HD this window shows up explaining the problem...

    I am having issues related to storage and I believe this is causing my computer to slow down. "Other" files part is the major occupier(180 GB). I have done Omni disk and multiple other cleaning(iTunes-device, restart, etc), yet have not been able to empty any more space, nor to speed up my computer? Any suggestions? All your contributions are welcomed. Thanks. Mehmet Mazhar Celikoyar

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • I am running xp and the last time I tried to upgrade to Firefox 5 it caused my computer to slow down become unstable and eventually my hard drive crashed.

    However I do believe the hard drive had other issues that just might have been further compromised by downloading 5. Talked to a couple of others who have also had bad problems after downloading 5 and that is what really concerns me is that my problem is not isolated. I have just got my computer back up and running and am very concerned about continuing with the 5 upgrade that was automatically downloaded and will be installed the next time I start up. How do I prevent the download from installing upon start up next time until I can get some clearer info on why 5 is causing some problems and can avoid them?

    My mother just had this problem. After uninstalling a bunch of search malware, i was still seeing the bing tab come up on start up. The way I fixed this is to delete any shortcuts, remove it from the task bar and the start menu list. It appears this crappy malware modified the firefox and chrome(if installed) shortcuts to open bing.
    Of course another way is to modify the shortcuts to remove the link that they added. It was easier for me to remove and just re-pin.
    Hopefully that solves your problem too.

  • Quicktime Causes Computer to Slow Down/Lock Up

    Hello, for the past few days, I've encountered an odd problem with Quicktime. When I try loading .mov and .m4v files, Quicktime will cause my computer to lockup for a few seconds then go back to normal. If I attempt to even move the window around, my machine will lock up for a few seconds then return to it's normal state. Now, that's just with moving the window around, if I actually try to play a video, forget it. The sound stutters, no video, computer goes berserk, the only way to stop it is to minimize(which causing everything to go back to normal) and shut it down through the Task Manager.
    I have not installed any third-party plugins for Quicktime, and this seems to have started when I upgraded to 7.3.1. Another interesting tidbit, there's some .mov files I can play and others I cannot. For example, I can play an h264 .mov file perfectly, but an h264 .m4v will cause my computer to lock up.

    Just spent the past 10 min creating an account and alias just for this post. I'm having a similiar problem. Quicktime seems to lock my computer for a min when I try to play videos in a web browser.
    Try this if you're having a web browswer problem, open a quicktime video, preferably from your harddrive, directly into your quicktime player. If it asks to restore mime/file type associations then click yes, this is hopefully the fix. Now try to play any quicktime video on the internet and see if it stutters.
    This seems to have worked for me, for now. I've also tried other things that worked for a little bit. There are two addons loaded into IE and took turns disabling them and trying to play in IE. Disabling one of them seemed to work, but then it started stuttering again the other day. I've tried playing videos in firefox, same problem. Course I tried updating. Uninstalling and reinstalling ect. I actually had quicktime completly wiped off my computer for a few weeks cause I was sick of it taking my system from me every time I tried to watch a video in the web browser.
    anyway, tell me how it works

  • Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

    This is a strange problem but here goes...
    Some useful background info:
    I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
    The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
    When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
    The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
    Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
    Additional details:
    Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
    I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
    There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
    I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
    The router is still the WRT54G on ATT's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
    The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G; an older version of this device that I replaced recently with a new one [although this copy worked with the new one as well prior to the issue I'm posting about coming up].
    The firmware version of the WTR54G router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (this issue was occurring over the WRT54G's wireless network before the firmware upgrade to the Airport Express).
    If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
    This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilettantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in the art of network configuration.
    I've been using a LinkSys router for a long time with a Mac/PC internal network that connects to the internet and computers inside the internal network for many years now and have had few issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    Darin

    I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

  • I am trying to connect my iPad to my windows pc ( xp) but it does not recognise the iPad and I get a blue screen error causing the pc to shut down. Any ideas

    I am still not able to connect my iPad 2 to my Pc ( windows xp). When I try to do so I get a blue screen error and the computer shuts down. I have reinstalled iTunes. iPod works fine. Any ideas?

    Not sure, but try these.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

    When it slows down, are you able to jump into the Task Manager to see what's eating up the resources?
    If not, run task manager in front of other windows and try provoke the slowdown.
    AE can often bog down the hard drive on machines with less ram than the project requires, as it caches a lot of stuff. I had same issue until installed an SSD for AE cache

    How much free disk space do you have?
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
         a) verify the disk
         b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
        Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
          is being checked.

    Look at what is happening with your Mac when you run Activity Monitor.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor
    1) Be sure you select all processes in the double arrow selection just be low the window title line.
    2) Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window to see how much time you are using and if any applications are hogging the CPU.
    3) Be sure the triangle in the CPU title is in the down position.  This will list the processes from high to low.
    You can gain some understanding of Activity Monitor by  looking at it every once in a while.  Look at the small graph.
    Here is how I have my CPU display set up:
    Do you need more cpu memory.
    Click on System Memory to get statistics on memory usage.  You should have some free memory.
    The number to look at is page outs.
    Mine is 13397. This means that some of my programs and data had to be written to disk because cpu memory filled up for a time.  It means my programs ran a little slower than they could have.  I could run fewer programs, deal with the slowness, or buy more memory. I'd say you want at least 512meg of memory for 10.4.
    If the entry for entry for Page ins/outs is:
    Page ins/outs: 29163/0
    Notice I have 0 pageouts which says that I am not using my harddrive for extra memory space.  Thus, I have enough memory.
