i have to restart it often. when i plug in my iphone it takes a while to synch if it does at all.
what to do?
thanks for your help!

This is unbelievable for Apple.
Since moving to iCloud My computer freezes, is extremely slow (sometimes have to wait 30 seconds just for a simple page to load in a program (not internet). My HDD KEEPS running and working for hours in a row
My contacts keep updating some adresses are in there 50 times or more now
I HATE THIS!
Have a quadcore iMac 27" on Lion, but also have 2 iphones (1 Iphone 3 that I cannot move to the cloud !!, My girlfriens is working on a white imac 20:" which cannot run iCloud, because her system won't allow iCloud and I cannot uypfgrade anymore.
Her emails get all mixed up.
This is a True MESS
Opening Programs takes forever.
THIS IS WORSE THAN PC !!

Why is my mac running slow after MOuntain Lion update??

after i updated my Mac Book it starts to browse very slow..why????

It doesn't sound like it, but you might try adding a different DNS server.
In Network System prefs, select the network service you use (ethernet or WiFi).
Click on Advanced.
Click on DNS tab.
Click the + button
Enter these numbers:
For OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Or Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Why is my mac so slow after installing Parallels?

I have the minimum memory alloted to Parallels and I have deleted all trash in Iphoto and any place else I could find it....
Does any one else have this problem?

Are you really running OS X 10.4.6 ? That might be one problem because to run that version of OS X your Mac is way old with a slow CPU and a limited amount of RAM for todays applications.

Mac running slow after mountain lion

Mac startted running slower about a week after downloading Mountain Lion. Is that possible related?

Probably not but you haven't said anything about your system configuration so that may have a bearing on things. How much RAM is installed on your machine? If you have the 2GB minimum then you almost certainly could benefit by a RAM upgrade. Please complete your profile so we know a bit more about your system, it won't help on this thread because the thread has already begun however it will be useful down the road. For instructions on how please click Profile Update.
Another thing you can do is open Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and run Repair Disk Permissions, I'd recommend doing that at least 2X.

Whys is my mac so slow with mountain lion

Hi
I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM. I recently installed ML and CS6 and I have had nothing but problems since. I have reverted back to CS5 Photoshop and illustrator which has improved things slightly but generally, my machine has become a nightmare. It's SO slow - and it's not just the system - my internet is also unbearable. I am a freelancer and connect to other networks onsite and I have exactly the same problems there too. When I have PS and ID running, Activity monitor tells me I am using 3.67GB RAM - and I only have 2 smalll files open. It has become virtually unworkable and it's just not good for the soul - I really need help!
Any suggestions or tips would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

why is my ipad so slow after updating it to iOs7

The iPad 2 is not as powerful as more modern iPads.
Backround updates (iCloud, App Downloads and updates - it can take a while after iPad was updated for these to stop.) , will slow things alot. The screen effects can be turned off, speed up things.
Here are two links with tips on speeding things up

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box

I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM.

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?

Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share? We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders. This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both. I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

Why is Safari running so slow under Mountain Lion?

I have other mac's on my home network that are still running Snow Leopard and the are performing well. I wanted to use the iCloud so I upgraded and instantly started experiencing the slow down, to the point of ridiculousness. Other function are mixed some normal speed, others a day on the beach with the spinning ball. Firefox is at full speed, good thought, haven't checked Chrome yet.
Last night and hooked into a projection unit that adjusted my screen resolution for a presentation and after the event my Mac reset back to the normal settings and Safari launched and is running normal speeds so far. In the past there have been issues with performance speeds and certain resolutions, has anyone had similar luck or is this a fluke?

Hi,
I also have this problem. My MacBook pro was brand new in august, but i bought it just a few days before the release of lion so i installed lion after i bought it. Only used it 1 day with whatever was on it before and seemed to work fine.
Ive been too busy to do anything about it but im very annoyed by how slow it is so i have to do something now, what can I do? can someone help with some specific steps? someone posted something about changing the network settings but I wasnt sure if that applied in europe (spain)... any guideance in non-technical terms please?
THANK YOUUU
