WiFi detection is slow after wipe (autoload install of .1917)

I did a reinstall of .1917 from scratch using an autoloader. My PB now flies, so overall I'm quite happy.
One minor nuisance, though: it takes quite a bit longer to connect to WiFi than it used to. Typically, I have WiFi off because I mainly use the PB for offline viewing/listening. But when I switch the WiFi toggle on, it remains white (searching) for a good 10-20 seconds before it turns to green (connected).
I've double-checked my WiFI settings and all looks good. I deleted the saved profile and readded it manually, but I still notice the same symptom.
Anyone else experience this? Again, it's not a big issue, and I can live with it given the current performance after I used the autoloader, but thought I'd toss out to the forums to see if anyone has any suggestions.
TIA!

Thanks. It's been a few weeks now that I've observed this behaviour, so seems like it is what it is. The WiFi connect definitely seems more delayed than before, but the autoload improved overall performance so I can live with this.
I had some success when I toggled airplane mode and reconnected to WiFi. The reconnect was pretty instant, but when I toggled the WiFi switch again, the usual delay was back in place. Seems like a software issue.

My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
What can I do?

Ha ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

Slow after download and installing Aperture 3 on my Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.3. Have any one else same experience and an idea of how to solve the problem ?

My recently bought and up to date MacBook Pro 17" became very slow after downloading and installing Aperture 3. Is there onyone out there who have experienced the same problem and have an idea of how to go about fixing the problem ?

Are you experiencing the slowness only when you are running Aperture or all the time since you installed it?
Have you done anything with Aperture, imported images, iPhoto library etc?
How much memory is in your system? Did you have any external disks attached? How big and how much free space is there on your internal disk?

Macbook Pro slow after Maverick's install

My Macbook Pro is painfully slow after Maverick update last week. HELP

gramacindy,
yes, thank you. Insufficient disk space is not the cause of the slowdown. Depending upon which apps you typically run, you might benefit from upgrading its RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB — but whether that upgrade would help depends upon other factors.
If you boot into Safe mode, log in, and immediately restart into normal mode, is your MacBook Pro still painfully slow? If it is, download and install EtreCheck, and please include in your reply a copy of the output generated by a run of EtreCheck.

Sakis3g stopped detecting the modem after a fresh install

Mac wifi really, really slow after 10.9.4 update

Hi,
So the other day I updated my MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) to Version 10.9.4. Everything worked fine that evening, then I packed up my mac and drove all day home. Then when I got home my wifi was being ridiculously slow, almost as if I was using Dial Up! But the wifi works fine on other laptops and cell phones, just not my mac. However my mac works fine when connected via an ethernet cable. I tried some troubleshooting and deleting the majority of my downloaded applications, but that didn't help. I did an Etrecheck, and will post the results below. Any help would be great!

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is 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.
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 was significantly reduced since Tiger. 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. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
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 command line. 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.
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):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
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.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Macbook pro 2008 super slow after fresh mavericks install

I install fresh snow leopard and mavericks after that, before i do this, my mac worked super fast and everithyng was great with snow leopard, after I intall mavericks the computer just got super slow, in every situation, opening apps or surfing the web is a pain in the... I hope apple fix this fast or I`ll be forced to go back to snow leopard again.
I have a macbook pro late 2008
core 2 duo 2.53hz
4gb ram 1067 mhz ddr3
512 nvidia geforce 9400m 256mb & dedicated geforce 9600m gt with 512mb
HD: TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100

That is normal for a few hours. Spotlight is rebuilding its index of all connected drives. Disconnect any that are external and it will settle down soon. You can reconnect them when you go to sleep so that Spotlight can complete indexing.

Wifi is extremely slow after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite, i have extremely slow connection on Wifi and also Ethernet connecting to the internet. Had no problems with Mavericks and also my other wifi devices.
Have tried deleting my network configuration and starting again and also have deleted my System Configuration folder with no success
can anyone help??

Finally found the solution. Apparently it is as I have guessed. The fault lies with the latest HTML 5 player added with safari instead of flash player to save battery.
The problem was solved by selection Safari 7.1 from developer option !!

HELP - Mac Pro Running Very Slow (After Additional RAM Installed)

I have recently upgraded my Mac Pro (2007) and increased the original memory up to 10 GB 667 MHz DDR2-F8-DIMM.
I also added an optical disk drive as the original would not play some of the newer DVDs/DVRs. Believe me, I'm not much of a do-it-your-selfer, but was encouraged by How-To DVDs on the net on how to install memory and the optical drive.
I am using Mac OS 10.5.8 and the original processor is 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.
Just when I thought all was well, over the last few weeks my MAC has been getting slower and slower. Now, whenever I re-start or shut down, the Mac can take upwards of 5 minutes to come up. It hangs on the blue screen for what seems to be an eternity. Now whenever I use Safari or Firefox, the rainbow wheel spins and spins and this did not happen much before my "upgrade".
If someone would be kind enough to walk me through or educate me on how/why this is happening, I would be very grateful!
Sincerely,
Don

Did you try with just the new RAM? what was it, and you added.... 4 x2GB?
Riser A: 2-2-512-512
Riser B: 2-2-512-512
The ideal balance is symmetrical sets of four.
Clone your system and run Disk Warrior, reformat your fastest drive for system, and restore with SuperDuper. Or try starting over with clean install, would be useful as an emergency and backup, especially as it seems possibly overdue for some maintenance.
Make sure you have 30-40% free on disk drive, and add more if you haven't to separate scratch and data from system.
Run AHT and something like Memtest or Rember. Memtest you can run 40 concurrently each in its own Terminal window makes it go fast for even 5 cycles.

Canon MX870 is not detected by Yosemite after new driver installed

I just downloaded and installed the new Canon drivers from their website that are supposed to support Scanner/Printer functions for my MX870 with Yosemite, but when I go to Settings for Printer/Scanner and try to add the printer from the wireless network, the computer does not detect it.
Anyone know what else I can do, or if I'm doing something wrong here?

Hi JordoGelbo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are trying to set up a printer wirelessly, first take a look at the guide found at this link:
OS X Yosemite: Add or remove a printer
You can review the steps in the "Add a Wi-Fi or network printer" section to make sure your printer is being properly set up.
If the printer is still not visible, the section called "Add a network printer by its IP address" can be helpful.
For more troubleshooting tips, see the advice at this link:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Boot and page load very slow after 2nd HD install

Good morning.
I recently added a second slave HD (80 GB with a OS X partition) to my beige G3 MT. I am using the original 9 GB drive as the boot drive. Northing else was changed.
Since that time, the boot time has increased significantly (2-3X pre 2nd drive).
Also, page load times have been increased with the Norton AntiVirus symbol being displayed.
1. What's causing the slow boot? Is the CPU looking at the new drive and applying Norton before the original boot drive?
2. Are there settings in Norton that might help?
3. Is it even worth continuing Norton use for this OS 9.1 machine?
Thanks for your time!

Hi, Bruce. NAV is probably scanning the entire new drive at startup, thus accounting for the major startup slowdown. And no, there's no good reason to have NAV installed at all. Your Mac doesn't need antivirus protection.

Export from FCE extremely slow after Snow leopard install

Instead of increasing my export times from FCE Snow Leopard has made them slower by a factor of ten. It is taking an hour to convert 3 minutes of 1080i to 720p !!!!! On an 8 core machine !!!
I am exporting 1080i to 720p with a bitrate of about 2000 for uploads to Utube. I tried using QT10 for export but I am not happy with the loss of control over my exports, it does work but not directly from FCE. The process called by QT10 is very fast and uses all 8 cores, but that process is not being called by FCE.
So at this point I wish I had never gone for the upgrade.
Lots of crashes with QT 7 during the open file dialogue and also same problem with MPEGStream Clip crashing on the file open dialogue as well after this OS upgrade

I may not be having a snow leopard problem at all.
Going back to an old project in 1080i of an 8 minute length. the estimated time to render is about 50 minutes it says @20% of the way thru. Thats about 6x real time.
Maybe thats what I should expect. I was hoping for a significant speed increase in rendering times with the new OS. What is teh factor averaging for other people ?
I am rendering down to 720p multi pass 2320 kbit rate .MP4 in h.264
Maybe I have a settings problem in project properties in my other project.
I also got inspired and moved the render folders to a separate disk from the source files and put the caches on a 3rd drive. my I/O readings now are at 60 reads/sec.
Thanks for helping me work this issue out with you guys. Will keep you posted.
