OS X :: System Runs Slower When External Hard Drive On?
Aug 25, 2010I've been using a LaCie Quadra 2TB Hard drive for a little over a month now.
I've been noticing in that time that whenever I have the HD mounted my system seems to run slower in that it has lots of sporadic hang ups. I get the spinning beachball in all sorts of programs from Safari to Microsoft Word.
I am of course assuming the Hard drive is to blame, so I was wondering:
Can running an external hard drive (for use with Time Machine and general storage) slow a system down (in particular applications)?
The hard drive is a 7200rpm drive and its connected via firewire 800 if that is of any importance.
OS X :: System Considerably Slower After Large File Transfer
Jan 8, 2011I copied a lot of information to my friend's mid-2010 MBP, about 80GB of data. Used iChat - transfer took about three hours but it got there.Before the transfer her laptop was very quick - didn't have much installed, plenty of free space. After the transfer, the laptop still have a lot of free space (>100GB) but is very slow. Before the laptop would take maybe 1 minute to boot up.. now it's over three. She experiences bouncing beach balls when loading applications.

A while back I "upgraded" to Yosemite and noticed my system ran slower and some web pages wouldn't load. I had Mountain Lion with less issues and less pinwheels. I went to YO to improve the slow loading but I now feel it is worse.
Should I return to ML or work out issues with YO? I've talked with a AppleRep a month back and did a PRAM reset and disc repair..My modem and router have been replaced without any notice in improvement.

IMac :: External Memory Drive Making System Slower?
Jun 19, 2010After owning my Imac for about 12 months or more now I've noticed lately that it has become much much slower. I expected it to slow down just like all computers once you have used up a fair bit of memory space but I haven't used up much at all. I've tried to avoid using up too much space on my Mac by using an external storage drive but I'm wondering if that has the opposite effect? I've got the usual apps that help the Mac to run efficiently and I've followed various threads that show how to optimize the mac so I'm assuming there isn't all that much tweaking left to do... could be wrong though. A long time ago (i'm not sure what got into me) but I downloaded the apple developer software, I don't intend on using it but i don't what the correct names of the apps are and I don't want to uninstall the wrong stuff. I have tested the speed of my Mac with and without the external memory drive but didn't find much difference, but perhaps my tests weren't entirely accurate.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X V10.7 Lion :: Installing A FULL System On A USB Key?
Jun 21, 2012I am trying to install a full Lion system on a USB key. I am not talking about a Cracker Jack installer and disk utility thing. I am talking about a full useable system. Why would I want to do this? Let's see, I have a 3 month old MacBook Air with a failing SSD, a brand new Mac Pro with NO THUNDERBOLT jack, an over-designed FireWire to Thunderbolt dongle that Apple took 2 YEARS to develop and still has yet to bring to market (which may or may not support Target Disk Mode on FireWire Macs... like my brand new tower) and NO way to run Carbon Copy Cloner on a booted system that can see the failing SSD as a local disk. I'm sure I don't need to mention the kick in the pants that is Spotlight trying to index a failing drive, corrupting data as it does so. Sorry but I don't have access to a THIRD mac with Thunderbolt. Just these two very new machines. If there is no way to get the MacBook Air mounted in Target Disk Mode on another mac, I need to boot it from a System that is not corrupting files like crazy due to media failure. I can't use the brilliant new "Recovery Partition" thing they created because, well, that's also on the failing disk.Â
When I run the 10.7 installer on the MacBook it says this is an unsupported system. Years ago it was possible to install OSX to a disk other than the boot disk without rebooting the machine. Not any more. When I clone Mac OS Install ESD to a thumb drive and try to boot from it, I get the big X. When I try to make the USB key on the tower, after needlessly rebooting it, of course, using ANOTHER USB key with the ESD image, my target USB key (which is 64gb) is greyed out, and hence not selectable as a target volume for the installation.Â

MacBook Pro :: Putting The Full File System On A SSD?
May 4, 2012I'm thinking about getting a macbook pro with an SSD (and I know the refresh is just around the corner, but for business reasons,this money has to be spent now).  It seems most people put the OS and apps on the SSD, and keep a hard drive for all their data. If I could pare down my data suffiently, would it be reasonable to put the whole file system on an SSD? My worries is that the frequently-created files like various /tmp files would significantly reduce the life of the SSD, even if I have TRIM support.(I'm thinking about getting one of the OWC Mercury Extreme SSDs, for what it's worth.)

My question is, what can I do to start/restart my Mac and is there anything else I can do to free up my Startup disc.

Jul 28, 2010Got a new (used) 15" MBP and I'm trying to do a full system restore via Tima Capsule over the network. Started it last night at 11PM Estimated time was 15 hours.. Just got home from work the next day 5PM and it now says 5 Hours. But it jumps up a few minutes then down.
I did find a ethernet cable so my question is, can I cancel the restore? And restart it via ethernet cable? It doesny list an option to cancel but can I just turn off by the power button or turn off time capsule?

OS X :: How To Repair System After Full Restore To Time Machine Backup
Jan 13, 2011 I decided to restore to a Time Machine backup I had done a few days earlier, hoping that I would just "start" fresh. Without realizing it, I had inserted the Leopard install dvd that came with my computer, and restored to my 10.6.6 backup. I got the "You must restart your computer" error, which I found out was a result of using the Leopard disk. So, I redid the restore using a Snow Leopard installer on USB.
After this, everything appeared to be working fairly well. However, today, I've started to get system crashes quite frequently, and at times I haven't been able to properly shut down or restart. I noticed that Spotlight was indexing, and would hang at "3 hours remaining" or "estimating time left." Right now, I have created a second admin account, and I have disabled indexing. It seems to be working, at least temporarily, because I'm using it right now.
Software :: System Makes Many Copies Of Each Photo - Startupdisk Full
Jan 15, 2010I have a 2007 Mac and my start up disk is FULL. I have tried deleting files but nothing helps. I only have music and pictures on my computer and for some reason my computer makes 6+ copies of almost every picture I have. I can't tell which photos to delete because some are small or out of focus and it would take days to go through every photo.
I did buy an external hard drive and started backing up everything but I'm not sure what the next step would be.
Mac Mini :: How To Use Mini As Home Theatre System?
Oct 14, 2010So I purchased a stereo output to composite red/white cables. I then plugged the HDMI and composites cables into the receiver, but the it reads only the HDMI (which should include audio and video), or composite (yellow, red, white). If you have HDMI plugged it, it doesn't read from the composite, and vise-versa. So how exactly can I fix this? Why doesn't Apple have the HDMI contain audio and video (like most things, PS3, 360, consoles)? This is really odd and I cannot really use it as a home theatre system at the moment. I was hoping that it wasn't my receivers fault (2008 fancy Denon receiver, cost a few grand), but if it was to find some kind of converter that takes HDMI and stereo out, and outputs it as HDMI with audio/video.

Mar 15, 2012I have reviewed notes regarding selective app restore method and am aware that there are issues assossiated with failed apps since the original app installer installs files in various libraries and system settings..My backed up Mac contains rogue programs such as the programming app python 3 and various rogue bugs and system settings
1 Does a full restore reset all backed up system settings or does it keep the fresh installation and include all your apps and settings such as mail accounts mail folders documents pictures movies podcasts etc without the bugs
2 Should the answer to 1 be a yes all compromised settings will be restored, then will I have issues with installing VMware fusion as its an encripted integrated app that I keep all my master business applications but store documents in the Mac documents area
Other factors
1 My accounting tax business has been hacked over and over again for the last 7 months from start of tax season
2 I have lost 50% of my clients due to the interruptions and been hospitalized twice from sitting on the computer for extended hours and days reinstalling fresh system and restoring Mac documents only, 3 times over, as well as trying to learn everything about best practice, hacks etc
3 I'm using fire vault 2 however the time machine backup is not encripted are there any potential problems with either of the two methods?
4 I will be using a proxy server when I next build the Mac will this be enough to mitigate potential security breach using the full time machine restore method?
5 I have many apps that I have not purchased through the app center and have not kept the keys and will be a headache to get all my details
6 what implications are there as far as the prior keychain access is consurned? How does that get restored?
What is the most effective and efficient method to restore from time machine given above scenario?
