Mac Pro :: Fan Runs Faster After Sleep But Then Slows To Normal?

Apr 21, 2012

I've usually in all my year with Mac not had my drives sleep. I note now that when my drives awake one of the fans is spinning faster than normal. Just a little nothing crazy and then it slows to normal.  

Is this the sound of a problem fan or something on my motherboard or something?  

Should I do a PRAM reset? or whatever it's called these days? Running OSX 1.6.8

MacBook Pro :: New WD, Runs Faster, Also Noisier?

Dec 6, 2010

So I bought a new WD, did a 1:1 backup with a Carbon Copy Cloner, put it in my 2010 MBP13.

It runs faster, but is also noisier. With this I mean the operating noise, not clicks or anything like that. I'm 100% sure I fastened every screw tightly. And before anyone asks: Yes, I also moved the torx screws from the original drive to the WD.

I thought it shouldn't be louder?

MacBook Air :: Clean It Up So It Runs Faster?

Mar 3, 2012

I have a 2010 Macbook Air with 17GB out of 60GB free on the HD. Lately it has been a little slow (especially in Numbers, sometimes in Safari). I'm looking for ways I can clean up any unnecessary files and just do routine maintenance. I have recently run Disc Inventory X and deleted big unnecessary files.

MacBook Pro :: No Sleep Mode When Runs Out Of Battery?

Jun 2, 2010

So my Macbook Pro has been working wonderfully, until recently when it runs out of battery it goes into sleep mode but when I plug in the power cord it does not do the restoring from how it was before (i don't know what its called, but its when the screen goes grey and the white bars go across until i can get back in) it does not show me anything so I have to press the power button and even then it does not show me that screen it just reboots (i don't hold it in but just press it normally like when booting it up) Then when it is booted the date and time are reset and the Wi-fi does not work. I have to reset the clock and it then works fine.

OS X Mavericks :: Runs Out Of Application Memory During Sleep

Aug 27, 2014

Shortly after updating:

Safari (to 7.0.6)

Java (to version 7 update 67)

Pages (5.2.2, which has "An error has occurred" note in the purchases section of my App Store application)

Keynote (6.2.2)

Numbers (also has "An error has occurred" note in the "Purchases section" of my App Store application, and while it shows "installed" in same section, Numbers does not appear on the recently updated list in the "Updates" section)

and iMovie (10.0.5)

I also recall an Adobe update occurring (Macromedia?). 

I began experiencing slow wake-from-sleep behavior. More recently, I have been getting "out of application memory" dialogs upon waking from sleep. There have also been a couple instances where the computer would not wake and had to be restarted. At one point, without having gotten the "out of application memory" dialog, I did note that virtual memory had ballooned to over 14 GB. That stayed like that until I logged out and logged back in. 

This behavior seems to be specific to a user account (did not repeat when logged in as admin for one overnight test, but haven't tried an all day admin login).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling BOINC, as well as removing an Adobe Resource Synchronizer app from the user login items (given the recent Adobe update, and having read that said item could cause trouble). 

So, I'm not sure how to proceed beyond offering the reports below:

User report:

No admin access System Version: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)Kernel Version: Darwin 13.3.0 Boot Mode: Normal

Power Mac G5 :: Fan Runs On High And Won't Wake From Sleep - It Freezes?

Dec 10, 2007

I have a G5 (Power PC, g5, Dual 1.8 GHZ with 1.25 GB SDRAM, and Mac OS X 10.4.10-phew!) and I recently: added more USB ports using a PCI card, and purchased a non-Apple 22" widescreen display.

Prior to adding USB ports, I was using a hub that ran off its own power source, and used a Samsung 19" monitor.

My situation now: everything starts up fine, but ultimately the fan will kick in at SUPER HIGH and won't stop. I can put my Mac to sleep--which stops the fan noise--but then it won't wake up.

I have run the Apple Hardware test and everything checks out OK. I've also reset the SMU according to directions from this forum; AND I've vacuumed out all the dust bunnies.

The fan runs so loud and so high it sounds like it's an airplane that's about to take off.

Short of bringing in my Mac to a technician, can you recommend anything? My Mac has been glitch free up until now.

mac G5

MacBook Air :: Battery Runs Out / Computer Doesn't Go To Sleep

Feb 28, 2012

Anyway, sometimes I'll leave my MacBook Air on without the power adaptor attached, and the battery will drain.That's all fine and dandy.The problem is, is that instead of going to sleep LIKE IT SHOULD, it will completely turn off, and everything I had up (web pages, anything and everything) will be GONE when it starts back up.

OS X :: Windows 7 Puts My Macbook To Sleep Faster Than Snow Leopard?

Jan 1, 2010

I have a unibody Macbook Pro and I installed windows 7 64bit with bootcamp and one thing that i noticed is that windows 7 puts my macbook to sleep when I close the lid about 10 seconds faster than Snow Leopard does.
Snow Leopard takes about 10 to 15 seconds to put it to sleep and Windows take 2 to 5 seconds. Is this normal? It'd be funny if windows can do things faster than mac can with apple hardware.

OS X :: IMac Waking From Sleep During Night - Is It Normal

Dec 19, 2009

Newbie here, It has just come to my attention that my 27" iMac wakes up during the night. It is always put to sleep at night rather than turned off. My parents are staying for the weekend & sleeping in the same room as the imac, & mentioned this morning that screen turned on a couple of times during the night. I looked at the time machine back ups & found it had made 2 during the night.

IMac (Intel) :: Makes Normal Startup After Had Been Put Into Sleep

Jun 24, 2014

iMac makes normal startup after had been put into sleep..One strange behaviour can be observed with iMac Late 2013.At the end of day the user puts the mac into sleep.On next day pushing the power button is necessary to activate the mac.

The main point is that iMac starts up as it was shut down at the previous day(this is conclusion based on screens shown after mac activation). 

User expectation is, that on next day when activating it the mac show screens as it was leaving sleep instead of showing screens typical for normal startup (after hard power down).

Software :: Parallels 6 To Run 40% Faster/launch Windows 2x Faster Than Fusion

Sep 8, 2010

Parallels is expected to announce as early as Thursday the sixth major upgrade to its Windows virtualization software for Mac OS X, delivering a significant performance boost over its predecessor, as well as 80 other new features.

The new Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac has been shown on average to run 40 percent faster than last year's edition, according to people familiar with the matter. Those same people said that the upgrade -- expected to retail for the same $79.99 price as its predecessor -- will also feature Windows boot times that are roughly two times faster than version 3.1 of its primary competitor: VMWare Fusion.

VMware and Parallels have gone head to head in the virtualization market since 2008, when the Fusion product was first introduced. Parallels has existed since 2006, and both products retail for an identical prices. In a recent study, Parallels 5 was already found to be 30 percent faster on average than VMware Fusion 3.

Parallels 6 is also expected to showcase tighter integration with its users' natural environment, adopting support for the Mac OS X's keyboard shortcuts, Spotlight search engine, and Expose windows management features. Similarly, the upgrade will offer the option to automatically apply a Mac's parental controls to their corresponding Windows applications, according to those familiar with the product.

Another major focus for Parallels is said to be gaming. Version 6.0 will reportedly deliver up to two-fold performance improvements while adding support for Dolby 5.1 surround sound and better handling of 3G environments.

Parallels 6 will sport compatibility with an enhanced Parallels Mobile application that will offer users the option of remotely accessing their virtual machines on an iPad, as well as an iPhone or iPod touch.

Parallels Transporter, previously a standalone application that allowed users to migrate a virtual PC image to the Mac, will come built into the new release as well.

Earlier this week, Parallels Desktop 6 was spotted on the shelves of a Fry's Electronics store in California. The product has not yet been formally announced.[ View this article at AppleInsider.com ]

Hardware :: Unable To See Video Or Anything / Fans Spinning Faster And Faster

Aug 7, 2009

My father owns one of the original G5s, so its power pc not intel. Today while browsing an excel spreadsheet he says part of the screen turned black, then the monitor shut off, then the monitor came back on but not video. Mean while the fans started spinning out of control. Now when he tries to turn it on, he gets power, but all that happens is the fans spinning faster and faster and faster until he turns it off. No video or anything. Just speeding fans. He fears the CPUs died since they control the fans. Any suggestions? He also says the fans were spinning unusually fast these last few days.

MacBook Pro :: HDD Create Noise, Everything Slows

Nov 15, 2009

I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro and recently, it seems like there are random 5 minute sessions where the hard drive would make noises as if Spotlight is indexing. However, during this time, nothing is happening. Just me browsing the web, not doing anything special. When the hard drive does this, the whole computer slows. It can still be used, but opening new tabs in Safari can take a good 5 seconds and same with opening programs and finder windows and sometimes I even get the beachball.

MacBook Pro :: System Slows Way Down IMovie

Feb 24, 2012

My Early 2011 MBP 15" core i7 2.2 when finalizing a 720P HD movie in iMove slows to a craw. Is this normal as no outher MBP pre-Lion acted like this. I've been to the Apple Store once because I was getting a charging not charging error with green and amber light while it was creating a 720P HD video in iMovie. Previous MBP's I've had pre-Lion did not act this way, and I'm wondering if its Lion or something else. And the Apple Store seems to act like its ok.

V10.7 :: Imac Slows Down After Installing Osx Lion

May 14, 2012

Since installing Lion on my iMac a couple of weeks ago, everything on my computer seems to be running slower. It's not unusual to sit and watch the spinning rainbow wheel for 5 minutes at a time, waiting for something to happen. This rarely happened before the the new OS. Even within applications like Safari, Mail and other apps, things do not act like they used to. I find myself having to click on action buttons 2 or 3 times before I get a response. For example, sorting my mail from "by date" to "by contact" rarely works without having to go to the main menu. I backed up my hard drive before the install, so I could revert back, but I hate to go backwards.

OS X :: Computer Slows Down When External Disks Spin Up?

Apr 2, 2009

I have had this issue for years now on all my Macs.

It happens to me with my current iMac intel, which has 2 firewire drives connected to it (one 800 and one 400).

When the firewire drives randomly spin it, it sometimes makes my iMac stall a bit. Like the beach-ball will sometimes even come up, but otherwise it just like it freezes a split second while it's bringing the hard drive back up the speed.

Why does it do that, and is there anyway around it?

It makes using an external drive frustrating and hurts the beautiful mac experience.

I have 4GB of memory, very fast computer otherwise, so it's not that.

OS X :: Mac Pro Slows Considerably With Additional Hard Drives?

Sep 20, 2009

So my Mac Pro has been incredibly slow as of late. It's an older model, but it's been holding strong for a while. For some reason though, it seems the hard drives inside of it had been spinning wildly and at random times.

It took me five minutes to shut down Safari, TextWrangler, Final Cut Studio 3 and iChat. Ridiculous.

I had remembered that when I put in Boot Camp, I had pulled out my additional HDs, so I figured, why not, lets try that.

I removed the three additional drives. (Drive 2 was my WinXP bootcamp, Drives 3 and 4 are both media/backup drives)

Low and behold, once I booted up with just the primary my Mac Pro is screaming again. (The good way this time.) Everything loads faster. It's like night and day with and without the drives in.

Anyone have any clue as to why this would be? All my captured stuff is on my 3rd and 4th drives, so I need them in there, but the click-beachball-click-beachball has got to stop.

Applications :: Safari 4.0.3 - When Downloads In Browser It Slows Everything Down

Apr 19, 2010

When I'm downloading, say, PDF files in Safari (4.0.3), at times it will download IN the browser itself, at other times to the 'Download' folder ... I can't seem to control when it does whatever it does; it seems entirely random. When it downloads IN the browser, it slows everything down, so I want to enable it to ALWAYS download to the folder instead (meaning I can do multiple downloads concurrently without slowing things down to a crawl on 1 GB Ram ...).

Ive called apple and they cant figure it out. Ive taken it to the apple store and they tell me they cant figure it out.
