Why do some old Mac programs run slowly in Classic mode?

I successfully installed OS 9 Classic Mode on an eMac.  At first, some of my old programs (Thinkin' Things, Millie's Math House, both edmark) ran fine, but as time went on they started jerking and freezing as they ran.  I re-started and it continued to do the same thing.  Any ideas on why these programs run slowly like this? 

I gathered the info you suggested in previous message, but I was wondering if you could help me interpret it.
Here's what I got:
In Activity Monitor; System Memory; Page ins/outs = 12277/0.
Memory is listed as 1.024 MB, with 822.11 MB free.
I looked under CPU tab in Activity Monitor and did not exactly now what I was looking for.  What should I do with the CPU #'s?
I opened Console in Utilities & there were any clues or repeating messages.
The 40 MB hard drive has 9 MB free.
I ran the 9.2 CD-based educ. software again.  Some does not boot up.  Some run fine.  Others are choppy at times. 
Anyway, does this info suggest anything to you.  I wonder if it's a compatability issue between System 10.4.11, Classic Mode and the Power PC chip?  Was this common with Classic Mode? 
I thank you so much in adavance dor any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

    Don't do anything until you can restore and have repaired the disk drive.
    Post should get moved to either ML (10.8,.4) or iMac forum
    Swap out the hdd for an SSD : )
    Don't do anything to clean it up unless you don't know how to first remove browser history from within the programs; low on disk space (I consider more than even the 15% minimum, more like 3--40%)
    And do you have page outs? more than enough RAM? what actually leads you to ask? Programs aren't opening properly?
    Sometimes it is easier to take the long road: just reinstall and restore.

  • Retrieving Old Mac Programs

    Here is my problem. I have a lot of very old Mac programs that I would like to run on my Mac (PowerPC G5) under the Classic environment. These are quite valuable older programs that are not longer available.
    These programs are on discs. I am not familiar with the correct designation for these disks but some of them have an "HD" label on them and others are labeled "Double Density 800KB". I purchased and external disk drive, but was not able to read these these old disks.
    I think what needs to be done is have the old disks converted using an older Mac and older software into a format that can be read my my G5. Do any of you know of a company that provides such a service?
    Do you have other suggestions to help me retrieve these older programs?
    Thanks for your help.

    The mechanics of your intention having been dealt with—although neither Rainer in Germany nor I in Australia can be but an extreme possibility—you will need to consider the logic of the matter also.
    If these same applications are not already supported in OS 9 running on an OS 9-bootable Mac (that is, if the applications will not run in OS 9.2.1 at least), you will not be able to use them in the Classic Environment under OS X, and transfers to your G5 will not profit you at all.
    Machine-language programs may stand a chance of successfully making the leap (eg WriteNow runs in the CE of OS 10.3.9), but programs with optional (or obligatory) 24-bit operation will probably not survive the transition, nor will those that have no ability to run in a PowerPC (601 processors and later) environment necessarily do so unless they were 'fat binary' (containing the ability to emulate 68K processors).
    You may be doing the equivalent of expecting a mediæval barber to replace a cornea successfully. As has been hinted, at least, with the possible exception of machine-language programs, OS 8.0/8.1 may be as modern as you can go, using a 68040 processor probably, or a 60x if you are fortunate.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Can't run software in Classic mode

    Boy, I've tried to fix this myself and just can't. I have a new out-of-the-box Mac Mini with a generic USB keyboard. I've got some old Mac software (really old) which is really a main reason I bought the mini. I can't get Classic to run because it's not already installed. I have the OS9.2.1 disc, but I can't boot from the CD (I tried pressing C on bootup -- either my Mac can't boot from CD or my keyboard doesn't communicate properly). When I try to run the OS9 installer to get Classic to work, I get the hair-pulling error message that I need to run the installer in Classic
    mode.
    A friend said I need the discs which came with the Mini, but I don't think there are any. Can the software which should have come with it be downloaded and burned on to a new CD in order to create a bootable CD?
    Argh!!! Please help!
    Warren

    Thanks -- I did try that, just forgot to mention it. the CD isn't one of the options in startup disk. It says I can choose the hard drive or the network, and I've tried both. A friend said that Mac Minis can't boot from CD -- don't know if that's correct or not, but I can't seem to get it as an option.
    I've tried to find any CD that may have come with the Mac Mini -- my friend said to look for one called "additional software and apple hardware test CD that came with the Mac Mini" but that is nowhere to be found. Either it didn't actually come with it (my hunch) or the staff in the receiving department took them out for safekeeping and hid them in a drawer somewhere and have forgotten. (Also possible.)
    I can't imagine that I'm the only person in the world with this problem, but my tech support staff warned me in the first place. I wanted to try using some macs mixed in with our PC setup (because they can run this software, and because it seemed easy) and they said that they wouldn't be able to provide much support, since they're all PC people. I figured "how much support can it need? They're designed to be easy to use!" Oh well.
    I'd really be keen to get any more suggestions from anyone who can help!!

  • Mac is running slowly

    My iBook G4 on OS X Tiger has begun to run slowly. The CPU jumps from around 10% usage to up to 98%. Programs all run slowly, the Internet browser freezes and takes a long time to load pages, and I cannot run an Internet browswer and say MS Word at the same time or they are unbearably slow. I don't know what to do to fix this.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Did you repair permissions after the 10.4.8 upgrade?
    When was the last time you performed system maintenance on the machine. System maintenance ought to be performed at least once a month. If it is sporadically done, a small problem can cascade over time into a large problem.
    For regular maintenance (about twice a month) I use OnyX.
    If you don't have a copy, ,make sure you download the version specific to Tiger.
    In OnyX, you'll use the automation panel selecting:
    Optimization - full;
    Maintenance scripts,
    Cache's - clear "system" and "user".
    Ordinarily you wouldn't clear the cache's, however, given the problem you describe, I think it would be best done now.
    Restart the computer once OnyX is finished (do not use the computer while it's running). On the restart, repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utility folder. One last thing, the restart will take a little longer since the cache's are cleared.
    If the above doesn't speed up the computer, post back. You may need to check the HD for corruption.

  • 3 issues on Apple Mac, program runs fine on Windows

    Hello,
    some users have trouble running my app on their apple macintosh machines. i don't have one myself, so it's pretty hard for me to find what is causing the issues, i'd appreciate your help therefore.
    1) frame not receiving close notification
    public class Trakker_Main extends JFrame
         public Trakker_Main()
              // snipped some code
              addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter()
                  public void windowClosing(WindowEvent winEvt)
                       doShutdown();
    }on my windows pc, "doShutdown" is called when i press ALT+F4 or the close button in the top right corner.
    on a users mac pc, it is not called when he presses the "apple + Q" combination. why?
    2) (drag&)drop not working
    i have a JTable and enable drop support for files from windows explorer / apple "finder" with this call:
    fileTable.setTransferHandler(new FSTransfer());
    public class FSTransfer extends TransferHandler
             public boolean importData(JComponent comp, Transferable t)

    dropping files in windows works perfectly, but not on the mac. what am i doing wrong?
    3) table sorting not possible in java 1.5
    in java 1.6 (available on windows) i can easily sort tables with:          TableRowSorter<FileTableModel> sorter = new TableRowSorter<FileTableModel>();
              fileTable.setRowSorter( sorter );
              sorter.setModel( fileTableModel );
    unfortunately there is no java1.6 on mac, only 1.5. do i need to implement my own sorting algorythm now?

    1. It's been awhile since I've used it, but you might want to check out Apple's [OSXAdapter class|http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/OSXAdapter/index.html] to handle OSX-specific stuff. It provides a means to do Mac-specific stuff (single menubar, Preferences/About in the application menu, etc.). It also supports specifying a "quit" operation, which may be what you're looking for. Best of all, it has a "dynamic" implementation so that you can use it without directly using any Apple-specific Java classes and thus breaking cross-platform compatibility.

  • Old DOS program running in MED-V - WordPerfect 5.0

    I'm struggling with getting an old DOS program, WordPerfect 5 to run in MED-V. I've gotten it to laund when running a workspace in Full Desktop but not in a Seamless configuration. Does anyone have any tips on getting older programs to run happily in Seamless
    mode?Orange County District Attorney

    I realize this is three years late, but maybe you'll see the answer. You can most definitely run MS-DOS programs in seamless mode in Windows Virtual PC, and presumably in MED-V also. You can find the method in this message on another forum:

  • 5 year old mac book running slow

    Does anyone have any suggestions of how to improve the performance? Or is it just because it is outdated?
    Thanks Donna

    The MacBook should be able to run as fast as it did when
    new, if it had the original content, system, applications &
    had the same amount of free or unused hard disk drive
    space compared to used capacity, as when it was new...
    And the same internet. Web page content takes longer
    and has more stuff to load, so that is slower acting now
    since it wasn't as busy some years ago. My Macs are
    all older models and run a few versions behind new.
    You could check the information on how to look into what
    your computer has in it, and get a few ideas on what a
    user should do about their accumulated saved content.
    A third-party gimmick to cleanup or modify the computer
    so you may think it could be faster, is a false economy.
    Those usually damage the system and can put adware
    or malware into the OS X, so it runs much slower overall.
    See what the author of this site says about slow macs...
    •Mac Performance Guide - The Safe Mac:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/mpg/
    Sometimes when visiting web pages with poor content or
    quality control, they may not be secure or may allow bad
    content to accompany downloads of what may seem OK.
    So the problem with adware or bad content arises and
    that can be running in the background. To see or try to
    identify that kind of thing, you'd have to be interested in
    directly acting on it; and not rely on some mackeeper or
    other garbage product that won't fix it. A fair look into
    ways of removing 'adware' and other issues can be found
    in TheSafeMac site. There also is an adware removal tool.
    See these other guides at the same home page:
    •Tech Guides - The Safe Mac:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
    A performance increase may be had by keeping an off-
    computer archive of things you want to keep, then delete
    or Trash the originals; an externally enclosed hard drive
    can be helpful. Such a device also makes a good backup.
    Not just one for Time Machine, but another (or two) so
    you can choose to make a fully bootable system clone;
    w/ utilities such as CarbonCopyCloner or Superduper.
    The amount of RAM installed in your computer may be
    upgraded, if not already to the maximum, and this is a
    way to increase actual performance if you have larger
    applications and a later OSX than the Mac shipped with.
    What is the total RAM capacity installed in the MacBook?
    If your MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008) is this:
    Model Identifier
    MacBook5,1
    Model Number
    A1278
    EMC
    2254
    Then the total upgrade amount of RAM should be this:
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    If you were to upgrade the capacity of HDD storage...
    Hard Drive Interface
    3.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
    ...or get an SSD instead, this info is helpful.
    {the above, from http://mactracker.ca database, a free download}
    More RAM and an upgrade to a solid state drive, could make the MB5.1
    scream along OK. However it may not be adequate to run a later OS X
    than Mavericks, if you even needed to go there. Some older Macs do
    OK with OS X 10.9.3, others act like they'd prefer Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    A few good sources of upgrade hardware can be found through these
    mac-centric online vendors, who offer Mac-tested products... Crucial
    and macsales (OWC) have sites and upgrade parts. Also information
    on how to perform some of the upgrades. iFixit.com has repair guides
    that may be helpful to see what one may be up against to upgrade.
    So there are a few things to consider, to clear out your saved stuff and
    make an external hard drive a home for libraries of music, photo, video
    and documents; some libraries can be used directly by their application.
    When an application can use files that way, the duplicates in the Mac
    can be removed, those Libraries that can be huge need not be internal.
    Be sure to read up in the Support database before moving libraries.
    There likely is a ton more to know, but it is better to learn about it than
    find out something wasn't too hard to know, before an issue arose.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Program running slowly

    I'm running an iMac with maximized RAM and the latest OS. Past couple of days, Lightroom 4 has been running slowly. The interface with the Nik software plugins especially. I optimized the system with CleanMyMac software and optimized the disk permissions. I keep my photo files on an external Drobo system, which has been optimized. Anybody have any clues?

  • Program running fine in Debug mode but failing in direct execution

    Hi All,
    I am facing a peculiar problem, I have created a report that create STO then Delivery and then Shipment one after one. I have used BAPI to do so. If STO creation is successful then Create Delivery and if delivery creation is also successfull then create Shipment.

    Can any one help???
    Regards
