Yosemite everything slow, freezing up, Help before I toss this machine in the trash!
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite my machine has gotten slower and slower. At this point functioning on this machine is a train wreck. Open an application - go get coffee, fold laundry, check...still application bouncing.
When it finally opens every action brings the spinning beachball.
Multiple pages while browsing the internet? Can't do it.
Multiple applications open? Nope
Everything loads impossibly slow and often crashes - I spend more time Force Quitting and trying again than I do actually getting done what I set out to do.
So far this is what I have done:
Multiple disk utility repairs
SMC reset
Wiped the computer completely clean and reinstalled.
Problem description:
Yosemite issue. Everything has slowed to a snails pace. I can’t have multiple applications open. The computer locks up, freezes, applications don’t open or freeze and I have to force quit. Even though FileVault is OFF I can’t configure automatic log in, It’s a mess.

The system when I did the reinstall was better than before but has progressively gotten worse. I had new ram which I just installed but I am not seeing an improvement.
I might revert back to Maverick maybe things will revert to better performance.
So the system is now at 12 GB ram:

Why don't you just give it a try to uninstall it, use Firefox and see it it does not improve. If it is not it, you can always install anew your preferred browser. It is cheaper, and quicker than having a HD replaced. Plus you can do it yourself immediately.
If it is not that, I will also support the HD theory, with one variation. Check if there was not a Firmware update for your WD HD. If I recall correctly, there was a problem and some firmware and software had to be updated. Worth a try?
Have fun

The core clock is slow or no core clock connected for this ILA or the ILA core may not meet timing.
[Labtools 27-1395] Unable to arm ILA 'hw_ila_1'. The core clock is slow or no core clock connected for this ILA or the ILA core may not meet timing.
I have seen related forums but cant get any help. My timing is completely fine. I tried all JTAG frequencies from 1.5MHZ to `12 MHZ. My clk for ILA core runs at 100 MHZ.
If i remove one IP , then the ILA core works. THE BD is attached. If i remove the right most IP(HLS_croppin) it works. I really cant understand. There is nothign worng with the timin in either case.There are four possible reasons for this problem:
- The trigger condition is never met;
- The trigger clock (clock mapped to the ILA Core) is stopped;
- A known issue exists with the Storage Qualification feature;
- BUFG is not being used on JTAG CLK (for the ICON).
The trigger condition is never met
Check the message at the bottom of the ChipScope Analyzer window. If it is similar to "Waiting for trigger, Sample buffer has 0 samples(0%)," proceed as follows:
1. Go to "Trigger Setup" and "Trigger Immediate." If ChipScope Analyzer starts the acquisition and shows the samples (the waveform appears), your design is fine; the clock is running, but your trigger condition never occurs.
2. In the "Trigger Setup windows, ensure that you have set the condition correctly if you are sure that this event (the trigger condition) happens in your design.
The trigger clock is stopped
If the message at the bottom of the window is similar to "Waiting for Core to be armed, slow or stopped clock," the trigger condition is not the problem -- the ILA Core does not have a valid clock and is not able to start the acquisition. To fix this, ensure that you have mapped a valid clock (in ChipScope Inserter or ChipScope Generator). If you are not sure if the clock mapped to the ILA Core is running, try to connect your system clock instead (or a clock that you are sure is running).
BUFG is not used on ICON's JTAG clock
If the JTAG clock does not use a BUFG, the "Waiting for upload" message can appear.
In some instances, slowing down the cable speed might provide a suitable work-around.

I have the CANON REBEL T5 1200D, and when i connect it to my mac which is 10.10 the new OS X YOSEMITE it says that it "Cannot be used with this version of the operating system" why does it say that if my camera is listed under the supported digital cameras for OS X YOSEMITE?
Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so. -
After ripping about 75 cds everything slowed down. Help- is it cache issue?
Please help me out. I am new to this. I ripped about 100 cds into itunes and everything slowed where I couldnt rip and listen at the same time, or use other programs for that matter. Definitely a RAM issue or so it seems. I cleared my temp internet files to see if it would help, but no. I had also downloaded some updates by coincidence around the same time so i restored my puter back to yesterday thinking that was those updates. Everything went back to normal and started ripping quickly 10x, 11x while playing tunes and me surfing. Now it slowed again about 75 cds later. No reason why. i didnt do anything but rip the tunes.
Is there some play to clear the RAM or cache or something? What is stealing away my resources. Rebooting does not help.
I hope you can!!!
Thanks a lot !!NOT true. Going back does not reverse all the work you have done. It simply restores settings and files to where they were. All the cds I burned remained as did every other file i created or edited.
But going back is not recommended and certainly shouldnt be done regularily. -
Black thing on Photo settings..help, before i get bumped off to the bottom
Hope this info helps.. I just got this iMac intel dual core few days ago coz the iLife 6 sounded better with new features but too many glitches??? To get around this black thing on Photo Settings, i just drop same picture from my pane to replace old UN-editable picture. It works but what's with the black thing! And i get this spinning wheel everytime i play the movie, even fresh from reboot. Will it also help if i up the ram? I have 1gb of it now.
"Help!! If I edit a clip (still picture) with Photo Settings, it's all black, and no image of the clip. Thus, i can't edit it. But i can adjust time (it's not disabled) but can't do ken burns effect and zoom coz I can't see what i should be editing!. I've done everything--close the app and reboot my machine.
I don't like that Photo Settings is floating. I wish it was permanently on the pane. "Hi mit 1 - Your problem is most likely caused by the fact that once a photo has been worked on, and then iMovie trash emptied, the photo can no longer be further edited. As you found, you had to re-import the photo. In future, if you think you might need to further edit the pics later, then drag the photos out of the iMovie trash, to the Clips Pane. iMovie will then allow you to re-edit them. For some reason, once a photo has been edited, iMovie dumps the original, un-edited version into the trash!

Help before I throw this printer out of the window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just purchased a Deskjet 2540 all in one printer - I will only ever need to print boarding passes etc. -
this looked so good on Amazon ideal for my iPad and said how easy to set up!!! In my dreams - I have now spent 10 hours
Trying to set this up and last night was close to cracking:-
I am setting this by wirless. I have the password and the printer showing on my iPad.
Each time I try and load the softwear I am told an unexpected error has occurred please try again later - I
Have tried and tried to no avail. Apple staff have said I do not need this softwear????????
The network test results say:-
1 check the printer network name ssid matches your wireless router network name ssid exactly!!!!!
2 if they do not match exactly, run the wireless setup from the printer software to configure your hp printer!!!!!
But no where can I find how to do this and sorry I really do not understand what this means.
Reading Amazon some people have set up in 15 min!!!!
The cost of bringing in an expert to set this up is worth more than the printer cost!!!!!!
Thanks for reading feel better letting of steam will defiantly be a 0 from me for the feed back to AmazonHello SueJon,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I hope this reply finds you with the printer not thrown out of the Window. Regarding the Deskjet 2540 setup to work with the iPad, I would like to help.
There are two ways that you can print from the iPad to the 2540. The first, Wireless Direct. Wireless Direct is a network that the printer broadcasts and the iPad would connect to it. This method will leave the iPad with no other network access while connected.
Second, and more functional, is having the printer connected to the same network that the iPad is connected too.
In order to setup this connection, follow the steps outlined below;
Turn Wireless Direct on from the front panel button on the printer. (number 4).
Connect the iPad to the printer network, Settings> Network> HP-Print-2540.
Open Safari and type this I.P address into the address bar, 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter.
Go to Network or Wireless and then Wireless Setup Wizard.
Select your network and enter the needed information.
Once connected, the Wireless light should be solid, connect the iPad back to your network. To print, open a document, hit the Share button (), and if an option to print is available you will be able to select the print option.
I hope you find this information helpful.

Help! I put every photo in the trash and now they are unorganized
I put every photo in the trash and was not able to restore them to their original position.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc. Plus, I had photos saved outside of iphoto and imported in to iphoto. Now iPhoto is full of empty squares.
What is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half. Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake? Should I just re-import using my back up as an intial state?
Please advise!
I appreciate the help as my sanity is in question,
SaraWhat is the best (and fasted way) to get to a restored state?
Restore your backup from before you made this user error
Unfortunately, I have not backed up my computer for a year and a half.
Very unfortuant and a really bad decision and a hard way to learn the critical nature of always haveing a current backup - Time Machine is included with every Mac - if you run it you always have hourly backups to go back to
Can I drag photos into Masters and somehow keep the existing framework of iphoto that way it was before my terrible mistake?
No
If your Masters folder is intact you can start over from scratch and get the event structure you had - drag the Masters folder to the desktop, start a new iPhoto library and drag each folder from the Masters folder to the open iPhoto window - this will recreate the events you had
and maybe if you provided some details about what you have and exactly how you recovered your photos theree is more that can be done
.Thankfully, I was able to save these photos but they are now a jumble. Every photo spawned 5 or so derivatives- face photos, PM, etc
Gives no clue about what you did or how you did it
and knowing the version of iPhoto and of the OS is good information for us too

Should I upgrade to Mac OS X v10.7 before I use Time Machine for the first time?
I bought a macbook pro in 2008. I recently purchased an external hard drive and I can't decide what's the best option:
1. Use Time Machine using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 ?
2. Upgrade to Lion before I use Time Machine (first time)
3. Or just drag my photos and music manually (those are the only things I need to back up)
Thoughts?I see. My only fear is there seems to be a lot of people who orginally were using Time Machine on SL, then upgraded to Lion and now Time Machine becomes screwy.
Also, if I buy a new Mac (eventually) with Lion, I worry that if I've been using TM on SL, the transition to Lion wont be smooth. I may be overthinking this, but I just want to get it right.
But I see your point: I need to get a full back up of my system as it is now before I make any changes. Thanks for your help. -

Help, I accidentally put a desktop icon the trash (my photo booth!). I don't know how to undo it!
Help me. I accidentally created a desktop icon from Iphoto and when I wanted to get it off the desktop, I put it in the trash. Now, it appears that my entire photo collection is in the trash bin and I don't want it to be there! How do I tell it to take it back out of the trash bin???
Please explain in more detail, how you created, made or moved that "icon" to your desktop...?
If you not sure, open the trash, control click on the "icon" in the trash, select Get Info and report back.
If it looks like this > with nothing after it, then you need to drag it out of the trash and put it back into your user Pictures Folder.
If it is a copy or alies and you can currently open iPhoto and see all your photos, then there should not be any problem just emptying the trash and making it go away. -

Also another great free program is OnyX, just run everything, cleans your machine out on a system level.
You can cancel the reboot to run another cleaning section, just make sure you reboot at the end before using the computer.

Also use the Firefox web browser, it's insanely faster, the fasest of all browsers. The choice of Add-ons is numerous, personalization is just awesome. Everything can be changed, moved around etc. Persona's, themes etc. Just insane.
Not only that, Firefox is for Windows, OS X and Linux, the same browser on all.

Macbook Pro is slow, freezes constantly and I'm forced to hold down the power button to turn it off.
Hey all,
This is my first post/discussion so hopefully I'm posting in the right section and all. Anyway, as of recently (few days) my Macbook Pro 15" (model previous to the one just released) has been been slow + lagging, also when this happens my computer freezes, but its kind of different: I can still move the cursor around and stuff, but for instance, if its google chrome that freezes I won't be able to close it, (tried force quit), after this, my whole computer kinda freezes and I can't close any of my programs, I can't click on the menu's at the top to shut down or doing anything really, eg. change internet connections. Closing my macbook, like shutting the lid doesn't solve anything, only turning it off by holding the power button for a few seconds, which I'm almost certain isn't a good thing. I've had to do this like 3 times today and its getting pretty frustrating.
Something tells me that it might be because of memory usage, but I'm not entirely sure, I only say this because when looking at the available/free memory using iStat sometimes, its really low, like 12mb, 30mb, etc.
Anyway, I know that's quite a lot of infomration but hopefully its useful, if there's any additional information you require that may be of help to you, please tell me and I'll do my best to provide it.
Thanks,
Roshen.Roshen,
There are a couple of things you can try, but it sounds to me as if it's a problem with your hard drive.
First, open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and see how much of your CPU % is being used by any one application (you can sort by %). If any one application/process is taking up more than 15% or so of your CPU, try killing (quitting) the process.
Second, since yours is a 2011 model, it will have come with Lion installed. Shut down your machine and boot up while holding down the Command and R keys. Open Disk Utility and verify your disk. If it comes up with errors, click repair.
If neither of these work, take your MBP into your local Apple Store. You should still be under warranty, even if you didn't purchase AppleCare. All beforehand and make an appointment.
Good luck,
Clinton -
Help.. before i throw this thing out the window
I've had my macbook pro for about 2 weeks now... at first the internet was running insanely fast; you know, as it should have been. Lately, however, when i try to get online the pages wont even load, and when they do load, they load half-assed. Half the pictures don't show, only 3/4 of the text... i was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this. If there is a way to clean the computer.. i dunno just get it running to what it was like when i first got the thing.. thanks.
Here's a few questions, some which others above have implied:
1) Click the Airport icon in the Menu bar (the icon that looks like waves spreading in a v-shape in the top right-hand corner). Are you connected to YOUR network? Sometimes your MacBook Pro may connect to another network, and that network may have a low signal strength or a slow internet connection.
2) Try using Firefox or another browser to see if the problem doesn't lie with Safari.
3) Try connecting your laptop directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. If the internet runs fine, you may have a problem with your Airport card.
4) I'm no expert to know if this will help you, but the following has helped with a few software glitches I've had. Run Disk Utility, select your Mac partition (NOT the hard drive, and be especially careful if you have a Boot Camp partition), click the First Aid tab (which it probably opened into), and click repair disk permissions (this may take several minutes). Try out Safari to see if its any faster.
I have no idea whether force quitting any application would affect internet speed. But like I said earlier, I'm no expert. You have a Mac, so you don't really NEED an anti-virus program, but if you have to or insist, the best av program would be a free one. See:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6743168�
or just search these forums for antivirus. But again, you don't really need it as many posts throughout Apple Discussions have said they cause more problems than they fix. Hope I was able to help and that your problems get solved soon. The MacBook Pro is a wonderful, powerful computer and it's a shame that your having problems with a slow connection speed.
