Windows 8 lagging and slow response but CPU never above 33%

Hello, I have an up-to-date windows 8.1 running on a dell inspiron 1520 laptop with a T7100 cpu with 4gb memory and an ssd hard drive. My computer frequently lags even with just browsing with IE11 - I can even out type it sometimes - however
when I look at the task manager during these periods the cpu utilization never exceeds 33% and the memory utilization never exceeds 66%. Disk and network utilization are always low. I suspect the bottleneck is the cpu and I wonder why the utilization seems
to max at 33% ?

Here are the 2 pages of listings when I search Firefox on "this computer"

HiHI
Have you tried upgrading service packs? I believe there was some networking
issues with SP3.

New pc running on Windows 8.1 and OfficejetPro L7480 but the printer won't scan.

Have new pc running on Windows 8.1 and OfficejetPro L7480 but the printer won't scan. It will print via usb and I've downloaded the full drivers Full_win_WW_140_408 but won't install. I've also tried to install the original drivers but they were for windows XP. The printer is approx 7 years old but still works (or did!)

Hello RevPhil,
Welcome to the forums!
I noticed your post about your printer not installing properly for you on your Windows 8.1.
I would suggest trying to use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to install the printer.
If that doesn't work, please let me know what exactly happens when you try to install, for example, do you see an error message or code? Does the installation stop?
Have you tried installing both USB and wireless methods?
Hope to hear back from you shorly!
Enjoy your weekend,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you should be able to log into iCloud on a Mac from system preferences > iCloud and set up photostream to download any photos that are there. You should also be able to use your iCloud back up to restore any replacement phone to reflect the phone you lost.

Skype increasing lagging and using too much CPU

Hello,
Since Oct 15 which is approximately when I was upgraded to version 6.9(517) I have noticed that Skype has been lagging very badly. It starts as very tiny lags and eventually over an hour or two the lagging increases to 4-6 second lags. The person on the other end will be talking and in mid sentence Skype will stop (freeze up), the timer on the call will halt, and in 4-6 seconds I will hear the other half of the sentence. While all this was happening I noticed while I was running the "top" command on the command line that my CPU usage would spike anywhere from 60% to more than 100% on Skype. The lagging and freezing would happen approximately every 20 seconds or so. I also noticed when trying to hang up the call and having the other person call me back that even the "ring tone" that is played when a call comes in was lagged and froze in the middle only to resume a few seconds later. It seems the over usage of the CPU might be the culprit but I'm not sure. I've tried everything from resetting the router, reinstalling Skype, clearing out my User/Application/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist and also the shared.xml in the Application Support/Skype directory. Oh, also once the lagging gets very bad I am unable to close Skype without force closing it. Anyone have any suggestions? This only started a few days ago and prior to that I have zero issues with Skype on a Mac.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've been spreading the word since my friend found out a solution!
A friend of mine in IT googled and it so far it seems to have eliminated the constant lag I've been getting every 20-30 seconds.
Here it goes:
Close skype completely.
Type in your spotlight: Terminal (black box looking icon)
Press enter then type in exactly:
cd ~/Library/caches/
Press enter again and then type in exactly:
sudo rm -d -v -r com.skype.skype
WARNING: It will give you a notice of caution that it could delete files, stay calm, all is good (I panicked too), then it'll ask you to type in your password (this refers to your actual mac password: the one you use to make changes to programs, give permission for installations, etc.)
Following the entering of your password there will be a giant wall of text, tons of code that you will not understand. Wait till this finishes (stops) and close terminal. Then proceed to re-open skype. Problem should be fixed! Ta-da!
Be sure to check activity monitor to compare your now normal % CPU levels to the abnormal ones that you were having before !
Goodluck and please let me know if it helps!

Editing my library, lags and slows up the proccess

while editing my library I find that the system lags and it becomes very frustrating when I have to wait for the system to do what I need it to do. I have one of macs most recent and their more powerful units. I do have quite an extensive music library that I am always trying to work with and get as much info on it as possible. I am becoming disappointed with how things are going and even concidering finding another media format. this is not what I prefer, but if I am unable to come to a good resolution for this I don't see a choice. any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Since you can click on it to delete it give this a try: Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
If that doesn't fix the problem continue with:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. (This is the downside to the method but it should give you functioning library with no bad actors in it.)
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

HT1349 I just purchased new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to. How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

Edge 130 overheats and shuts down, but CPU fan runs at low speed

Hi! I am having a problem with my Edge E130, running un Windows 8.1 64-bit. When running under high load the laptop will at times overheat so much that the system does a hard shutdown - it simply powers off. I installed Speedfan - it shows the CPU at above 90 degrees celsius. The weird thing is that the CPU fan is not running at full speed. I do not know why. Is there a way to fix this? The fan should at least run at full speed. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the reply! I can't seem to find a black and white sticker. There is a sticker which is black with light grey text. Is it one of these two numbers? label P/N 0B07208CT1 label P/N 0B95210 I am not using any fan control software. Also, my BIOS version is the latest available from Lenovos support site. (when I update the BIOS last time, the fan was running at very high RPMs for a while during the install. So it seems it would be possible for it to run faster)

Slow response - but over 500 activities per second doing something!

Hi. I'm having trouble with my iMac running slowly with lots of hangs. The system.log.7.bx2 is showing the following activity apparently over 500 times per second!
Apr 24 11:15:12 kelvin-08e2b175 sandboxd[7358]: mDNSResponder(19) deny file-read-data /private/var/db/com.apple.parentalcontrols.keychain.jZOTiS
* process 7919 exceeded 500 log message per second limit - remaining messages this second discarded *
I've checked the parental controls and they are all off except possibly for the Guest login which seems to show it as the default.
There's also a line saying something about a slow response on refreshing the log as follows -
Apr 25 00:31:23 kelvin-08e2b175 configd[14]: Kernel configd com.apple.powermanagement.applicationresponse.slowresponse 6960 ms
Can anybody give me a pointer as to what could be wrong? Many thanks. Kev

I have windows 7 64 and downloaded ADE but cant open library book

I checked out books from my local library to read on my laptop but ADE says file corrupt. Deleated everything and re downloaded but still wont open. Contacted library and they told me to uninstall then reinstall. I also checked out another ebook and that one too is unreadable. Do I have to have a Nook to read this type of book? Anyone can help be greatly appreciated :0

Ain't ADE's problem - no matter what they say at the library. This is a
pretty straightforward problem that is created when the sending software
screws up the file in the transfer.

Why does my iPhone become so lag and slow after downloading iOS 8?

My iPhone 5S and iPad Mini Retina Display become so lag after after downloading iOS 8. When i open an app or press any button, it response very slow. For instance, opening a Facebook app take about 30s for it to load, answering a phone call take half a seconds to response. Not only that, my iPad keep restarting when I am FaceTime-ing about 3 minutes. This update has got me so frustrated! It is so unstable!

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Wacom tablet brush features lagging and non-responsive

I am a photographer and rely heavily on my Wacom tablet to edit my images in Photoshop. The latest CS6 update and CC update disables any tool that uses the brush feature. If I work with a tool for example the quick selection tool, before I can use any keyboard shortcuts or hot keys I have to click anywhere else in my workspace, then my keyboard will work. I cannot increase the selection size of the tool, cannot adjust hue or saturation, and cannot choose another tool using the keyboard shortcuts.
THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM for me at the moment. My editing time has nearly TRIPLED because of the additional steps I have to take.
I contacted Wacom support and they told me to contact Adobe. All of the Adobe forums said to contact Wacom. I am now stuck in an endless battle of neither company wanting to take responsibility.
The most recent Wacom drive supports Mac 10.8x-10.10x so Wacom does not believe that their driver is the cause of the malfunction. When I use my Apple mouse I do not have any of these issues in Photoshop. Yes, the simple answer is to stop using my Wacom and just use my mouse but that is not a plausible argument for a left-handed person.
I am also frustrated that I could not contact support via email that I had to start a discussion. Hoping someone from Adobe will respond or even see this. Clearly there is an error with the Adobe software.

Ok the problem seems to be fixed for me. Here what I did:
Before, I was running Yosemite 10.10 on an iMac i7
I had the latest driver from Wacom (I tried a couple of older drivers, to no avail)
I'm running PS CS6, with all update
I'm using a Wacom Intuos 5 medium tablet
I was getting super bad lag while using the brush and other tools. Let's say I'd open an image to edit. After selecting the keyboard shortcut for my brush, I'd make one pass with the brush on the image. The brush stroke would be there, but it wouldn't show up in the history palette. Only after making another brush stroke would the previous action be recorded in the history palette. I was lagging real bad. In between brush strokes I wouldn't be able to change tools or even change the size of my brush. Nothing worked. I'd have to click off the image to regain control, or click the trackpad to regain control. BTW, the trackpad worked perfectly. NO lag for anything in PS. The polygonal lasso tool, one of my favorite selection tools, was basically unusable with the lag. I'd have to click several times before it would catch up and then sometime it would just randomly close the selection. So that was useless.
Ok, so that's what was happening to me. My tablet was basically useless. It took triple the time to work with it.
All I did was update Yosemite to 10.10.1 and the tablet now works PERFECTLY in photoshop cs6 for me. I'm not sure you'll get the same results but it worked for my computer. I really didn't think it would work so I was pleasantly surprised when it did.
I had tried installing older wacom drivers. Didn't work.
I tried reinstalling PS CS6 in a new user profile on my Mac. Didn't work.

Skype increased lagging and using too much CPU

This seems to be an ongoing problem - I haven't seen any 'fix' for this and I am also having the same problem.
Windows process is showing Skype using 1.45gb of resources.
Is there a fix for this yet?
If not, does anyone have a similar online program they use?
