After installing OS X Lion on my Imac (middle 2007)
start up is very slow. Screen stays white with grey progress bar very slow to complete.
Then, after maybe 15 minutes, the desk screen appears and the Imac seems to work normally. I had upgraded the RAM to 3 Go before installing OS X Lion.

I have an iMac intel from 2009.. the computer is used only for simple internet exploring, word documents, emails... etc. The hard drive has 140GB of free space, and I have erased the free disk space with 1 pass.The computer runs SO slow to the point where it's almost unusable. To me, it feels like a memory issue, even though the programs that are used require very minimal memory... I tried ejecting the RAM stick blowing on it and popping it back in, but no luck... It has 1GB of ram total. Â

View 1 Replies View RelatedMac started to run slow every now and then, updated to yosemite and now getting worse, slow to open programmes like iPhoto (getting jammed when using), websites and switching between the two. Get a coloured wheel often. More worryingly recently when waking from sleep, the left half of my screen is distorted like an old unturned TV!!

Ive recently upgraded my Imac to Snow Leopard and then to Lion. The mac seems to take a long time to boot up now and starting any application is not as rapid as before the upgrades.Also, browsing the net thru Safari is painfully slow.. (alsp very very slow in Firefox) I've alredy done a disk utility verify and repair and the Mac HD repaired OK.. Ive since re-booted and still have all the same issues?

Lately the machine is not detecting wireless keyboard, trackpad, and mouse unless the iMac is restarted. I tried to run the AHT using the restart and holding the D key but this doesn't seem to work I'm not sure how to run the AHT using the original DVDs, especially if the original OS was Leopard or Snow Leopard.Â

I have added all of the updates and patches but the problem continues. It started with one application and now it's happening to others where they shut down suddenly at start-up and have to be restared and the windows restored. It's a brand new computer and wasn't doing this initially.

I am running the 27" iMac with dual hard drives and have recently upgraded to Lion. Two things are happening.
1. On cold start / boot up, my system has no sound. And by no sound I mean - no sound. When I go to the Sound option in System Preferences, everything is greyed out and I can not adjust or access any of the controls. The only solution has been to immediately restart my computer. After restart, everything is fine.
2. On cold start / boot up, sometimes I receive a pop up telling me that TestGen is not installed properly and to please re-start. Of course, since I have no sound I'm automatically doing that.
Lastly, and I'm not adding this to the list because there is already a thread about it . . but I will mention it I am getting error messages trying to play certain videos "This video requires Quicktime which is not supported by this version of iTunes."The workaround is that you apparently have to delete the video from your Library -- DO NOT DELETE FILE FROM HARD DRIVE -- and re-add to your Library.

My father who is 91 purchased an iMac in January used it once. He is now just setting it up again after he has recently moved and this will be his only computer… finally getting rid of the PC world of Bill Gates and into a real computer. However, he has forgotten the login password at start-up which was set-up at the Apple Store. Can I reboot the machine with a CD (have one for Snow Leopard) and change administration details this way even though is running OS X Lion?Â
View 3 Replies View Related just installed bootcamp,and the drivers from the apple cd,it went smoothly
it was installed on a new 20GB partitionI use Windows XP,and OS X 10.5.7Now,after the windows was installed,i restarted my mac,holded option,and chose the OS Xisk...
there was the apple logo,than a blue screen,and it stayed that way...blue screen was changed by a bluish-gray screen every 25 seconds or so,but that was short,and it got back to the normal blue screen...that went on for some time,and i had to hold the off button for 5 seconds to turn it off...i tried starting os x from safe mode,but it only started windows on safe mode,even though i chose the os x disk...
I installed the following version of logitech cam on my mac. It asked for restart and it freezes from that point on.
Software:
* Title: Logitech Control Center for Macintosh� OS X
* Software Version: 2.6
* Post Date: 6/8/2008
* Platform: Macintosh OS X
* File Size: Approximately 13 Mb
Whenever i restart using the power switch it comes to the screen which has only apple symbol and freezes with that.
I think i should remove that and then it will work fine. I dont have any mac os cds to reboot from the cds.
If i have to can i purchase any mac os cd and reboot from that? But I would want to do that without getting the cd. is there any command using which i get in and delete that installed file.
My Macbook Pro 13" Mid-2007 wont show any signs of powering on after I tried installing a second RAM card to make it have 2GB of RAM. No lights turn on, I don't hear ANY sounds coming from it, and the screen is blank. The battery is fully charged, but I still tried charging it over night but nothing changed. I've tried powering it on with it plugged in and still nothing at all. I've tried it with just its old RAM and still nothing. Then I tried resetting the SMC, but nope. After that I opened it up and looked inside to make sure i put the RAM cards in correctly and from what I can tell, I did. Then I checked to make sure the power button was ok and it looked fine, then I made sure the cable that connects the keyboard (which also happens to include the power button) was securely connected and it was. I am at my wit's end and REALLY dont want to take it in to Apple seeing as it not under warranty anymore so the price of just diagnostics would be high.

Today I downloaded Jin which is a program for chess. Upon installation I was told that "Rosetta" needed to be installed.
1- What exactly is Rosetta?
2- Will Installing it slow down my Laptop?
3- Is it a good idea to install it?
My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick.

Whenever I boot up the SL install disk (either plugged in via USB drive or remote disc from my iMac), I select English as my language, "Continue" on the welcome screen, and when I get to the portion where I have to choose a disk to install onto, my MBA's hard drive has a yellow triangle on it and a caption underneath that says "Mac OS X Cannot Start Up From This Disk".
I've used Disk Utility to Verify and Repair, but still get the same result.
My MacBook Air is a 2nd generation machine, 120G hard drive (45G free), and MS Office 2008 installed. Other than that (and all my music and files), it's exactly as it came from Apple when I ordered it.
my Mac's start up is fine, until I get the the window with the bar that says "OS X starting up". This is the *really* slow bit. I am grateful for the fact that my old Power Mac is yet still faster at starting than my PC, but it is a whole lot slower than it should be. When I say "should be", all the Macs at school, or at the apple shop barely show the start up bar window. Ok, granted that they are a great deal newer and faster, but after a clean install of OS X on my machine, that bar was there for a maximum of 5 seconds. Now it usually takes 20-30 seconds.
Right, on to the things I have already tried:
* Cleaning out login items
* Turning off auto login
* Checking all my fonts
* Disabling the unused fonts
* Cleaning cache files and restarting twice
* Unplugging all of my hardware, bar the monitor
Even after trying everything on this list, plus a few hundred restarts, it is still booting up slowly. Does anybody have anymore ideas? Also, if somebody could please let me know where the log for system start up is stored, I will look through it and post it. Also, I should note that I am running OS X 10.4.11 'Tiger'.
