MacBook Pro :: OS 10.7 Lion The Slowest System Ever?
Mar 4, 2012
I recently upgraded to os 10.7 from the App store, along with all the various things that need upgrading as well (.e.g Microsoft Office, etc), on a 2.53 GHz 4GB/500GB Macbook Pro (1.5 years old). The systems is the SLOWEST and most ponderous I've used in 20 years!! It can take 10 minutes to start up when opening a couple of programmes (Mail, Word, Excel), the Office programs crash incessantly, switching between applications is slow, starting up Parallels is GLACIAL, applications freeze all the time. I've still got over 100 GB free on the hard drive.

I am obsessed with Mac Minis, and have bought at least one of every generation. Now that I bought a couple of the newest ones to be my new HTPCs, I have a bunch of unused ones. I do some web design and 3D work as a hobby. I bought OSX Server 10pack and a 10.5 Family Pack. I want to cluster them in some way with X-Grid and also use one as a media server. Here is my question: Should I install OSX Server on all of them? Should I only put it on 1 as a main server? Should I use my fastest one (1.83 Intel) or my slowest (original G4 of some speed) as the server? How would you set this up? They will all be headless and controlled remotely.

I recently took the plunge and installed Lion after being content with Snow Leopard....well now I have quite a few issues. When I open system preferences for some reason it automatically opens to Network...why I'm not sure. When I click show all, then click sharing, I can't make any changes in the Sharing preferences without my entire system locking up. I can't force quit or anything. I can still use the mouse but all I have is the rainbow wheel!
I have searched and searched and haven't been able to fix it. I have tried booting into the Guest account and the same problem happens there. I have trashed all the plist files everyone says to try. I have tried repairing permissions etc. I feel like I have tried everything. Is there anything else that I can do without have to do a clean re-install. I'm hearing if I do this that I won't be able to migrate my files from by backups due to permission problems?
I also took a look at my system log and it is full of this!

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS10.9.x and in an attempt to troubleshoot another issue I moved all the system fonts into a folder on the desktop. I didn't delete the font folder, just moved the fonts. When I went to restart the computer all it would do is flash between a white and gray screen and randomly display a progress wheel but won't start up.

I was asked to performed a system update with a reboot which I proceeded to do. Once the reboot was complete I had lost my system time (which had been reset to December 31, 2000 and my background had been replaced with the original generic MAC background. I have been unable to find the source of this issue and I am unsure how to fix this. I was able to change my clock by adjusting the Date & Time Preferences and fix my background image as well, but I am concerned that this is a temporary fix. Has anyone else experienced this with a system update?

So, I did the sysytem update for my iMac desktop. It restarted the computer and loaded the initial page. It came to the log in page, so I click on my username and typed in my password. It goes to a white page and loops back to the log in page. Have reseted the computer but it's still not working. I don't know how to reboot it either. I have tried the control + s to reboot it but it's not working!

I have downloaded Lion OS 10.7.XX trhough App Store. When I tried re installing the OS it failed after the bootup due to the Hard drive error. Now it is recommending me to format the Harddrive then re install the OS. I'd like to go back to my previous us so that I back up my data prior to formatting the hard drive. How can I boot from my previos operating system that was installed on the device?

my system preferences froze on me a couple weeks ago while i was trying to change my screen saver. i've forced quit the program and computer, but when i boot back up, and reopen system preferences it opens up where it froze in the backgrounds settings. yesterday i shot down to see my buddy at future shop and he tried a few things and nothing changed. he called apple and they said this issue has come up a few times now. they recomended to delete a few uneeded files in the program or reinstalling the operating system. we deleted the files and nothing happened. so he told me how to reinstall the OS. i said goodbye because he left for cuba today. now i have time to do the reinstall and dont remember how he said to do this.

Last night I attempted to change my desktop picture and thought I'd scroll through my own photos to choose one. When I got one in particular, it obviously changed the picture, then I couldn't change it back again. All I got was the spinning beach ball. After a force quit, I went back, started up System Prefs and immediately the ball started spinning again. Tried this a couple more times - same result. I shut down the Mac and started up again this morning - still the same. System Prefs always opens on the 'Desktop/Screen Saver' option and the ball appears and spins, neccessitating the 'force quit' option again. (running 10.7.4)
