Before the machine was superfast, now it still is but the animations go slower. (for example: switching to fullscreen apps goes "laggy". When I empty the bin. The prompt window pops up laggy etc...) I had a macbook pro before also with Mac OS X Lion, i updated the ram too and became also laggy. After a while it disappeared. For no particular reason.
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), I5, just did Ram update
All the animations of the OS [expose, minimize, spaces, quick look] along with 3rd parts apps animations [coversutra, quicksilver, ect.] are very slow and buggy, it have just recently started before couple days.
Attempts that didn't help:
-VRAM and SMC restart.
-Creating a new user.
-Disk permissions verification and repairing.
Facts:
-Snow leopard 10.6.1
-Machine specs in sig
Time to get rid of the stuttering window animations of my Mac Pro. Both my additional displays (Dell 2007FP) show very slow window animations, watching videos also lags.
The centre display (30" ACD) is perfectly fine. The displays themselves are not the problem, I've tested them with my laptop and they are fine there.
I also tested all graphics cards configurations possible:
- only a single graphics card with one or two displays connected
- 30" to 4870, 1 20" to 4870, 1 20" to GT120
- 30" to 4870, both 20"s to GT120
The latter is what is running now (and what I'd like to keep it).
I really don't have any clue what might cause the lag.
Did anything change in OS X?
I never had this kind of problem with previous display setups. Everything was perfectly lag free.
And lost my Dock animations. what can I do..when I start an application from my dock it doesn't bounce anymore or show the little bubble under the icon to show that it is open. I have the bubble under the finder icon but nothing else.

I have installed the latest update that Apple posted a few days ago on multipl computers. It seems that after the update, screen sharing still works, but instead of bringing up the shared screen in about 5 seconds as it used to, it now takes almost 30 seconds. This has happened for me on two seperate networks so I believe it is not network related. Something in the Lion update seems to be culpret. My 10.6 server machines still can be shared fine.

Looking for an easy to use 3D software to do simple animations. Not Pixar type epics.Â

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter installing the EFI 2.7 update yesterday, my MacBook Pro 17" has had an odd bug.Â
When the display dims after x minutes of inactivity, it takes 10-15 seconds after activity (mouse click, key press, etc.) for the screen to "un-dim". Same happens when trying to wake from the screen saver or sleep.Â
I have tried restarting as well as restarting w/PRAM reset. After the PRAM reset, the MBP would wake as usual for a little while, but then reverted back to the slow wake bug.Â

Once i update iTunes to version 10.6.1, it runs very very slow... almost to block OS X.i wonder if iTunes is rebuilding the music library or what, because this is very unusual in apps or any OS X software..

My initial pleasure with the speed of my new-to-me Mac Pro (8 core) is turning to frustration as Lion and iPhoto get glitchier and slower with each update. Tonight, while simply saving a file in iPhoto, it crashed and took 97 seconds to reopen and stabilize (SBOD). I've seen posts as far back as early 2010 regarding iPhoto '11 being slow and unstable. Before being forced to "upgrade" my iPhoto library to accomodate the latest iPhoto update, I saved a copy, with the notion of returning to the previous iteration of iPhoto which always served me well. Has anybody tried this with Lion? I'm also considering going back to Snow Leopard.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter the OSX 10.9.3 update, whenever I open Finder for the first time, it takes 20-30 seconds to load (beachball is spinning the whole time). I've read other posts where people post the log from Console, so here it goes. This is what comes up as soon as I click on Finder.Â

Also, if I leave Finder alone for not even a minute and then come back to it, it is frozen w/ beachball and have to wait another 20-30 sec before it's responsive again.

Is anyone else having problems with iCloud mail at the moment? For the past few days it has been VERY slow to update, sometimes failing altogether. Yesterday, I deleted a number of emails, only to find them restored after a later update. I am beginning to think about no longer using iCloud mail and shifting my main email account to my gmail account - it works every time!

Last night I updated my iMac to Mac OS X 10.9.4. Whenever I'm using my computer, it freezes up. How can I make it fast and smooth again? I have a most recent Time Machine backup before I updated. If there is a way to gain my computer's speed again? If not, can I possibly go back to 10.9.3?

I have experienced horrible software update download speeds for two weeks. www.speedtest.net and other test sites show good performance (usually about 10 mbps down and 1.5 mbps up). The software update download progress seems to be interrupting and then continuing. Its been grinding out 1.09 GB for the snow leopard combined update for over 6 hours this afternoon. Anyone else having problems with software update? I'm beginning to wonder if AT&T is throttling my internet traffic. Is there a tool to check this?
