After updating to 10.7.4., my MacBook Air (2,13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067Mhz) my became very sluggish. Logging in lasts 5 minutes, all programmes are very slow, internet is slower, even typing is something difficult.

i have an older G4 1.25GHz that i still run Tiger on. if i go to leopard, will it slow down the computer? i remember switching from OS9 to 10- my computer was never the same again. granted, the difference between OS9 and OSX was pretty significant, but i just wanted to check here.

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.

I'm trying to update my Macbook Pro to the new 10.7.4 I have downloaded the update twice (no interruptions during download) and when i click to restart the computer to install the update, the update dosent install. I keep getting an error message saying the download is corrupted, when the update tries to unpack to install. Â

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.

when I upgraded to lion (I think). I also run VMware fusion with windows 7 so maybe a virus? I ran disk utilities, followed suggestions on these communities to no avail. Our IT person and then apple support told me I should replace the hard drive. So I did. I played around a little bit and everything seemed good. Then I did a full restore from time capsule and everything is going downhill again.

It is frequent that the computer delay to an input takes several seconds. I find this in both my computers a mac mini and a macbook pro with LION, particularly with the wireless touch-pad.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Intel MacPro dual core with 8gb of ram and over 300mb available in disk, I just finished installing Lion and suddenly the computer started running very slow. When I finished the installation the computer was running pretty well and I really don't know why is running slow like this. I checked the system and everything looks fine, I mean, plenty of ram memory, over 4gb available, plenty of space in my hd and resources seams like quite a bit of usage. Is this due to spotlight doing indexing?mI was wondering if this is the probable cause of this drop of speed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've spent today copying all my apps and files from my 2yr old 2.5GHz MBP onto my new 2.66GHz UMBP. Even with them essentially holding the same data, the new one is a lot quicker at opening apps etc.
As a test, I timed the start-up:
Old MBP: 1m12s
New MBP: 29s
I remember a time when my old one booted up just as quickly! So, what is it that will undoubtedly cause my new one to gradually slow down?

since I plugged in a self powered usb hub (for photo printer, webcam) I am running very slowly- did all the basic maintenance stuff. Can the hub or the peripherals attached to it be causing the problem? Can software associated with the webcam (icecam by macally) be the culprit?
I have a power pc G4 733 mhz with 768 mb ram whenever i try to play some games and all games on the internet they run VERY slow do you have any ideas how to speed it up enough to play games at least decently that would help also if you have any ideas on speeding the computer up would also help as the computer is slow overall
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to tell which one is slow, if anything is going slow?
I have an extremely old PC which is normally ok for most things, but gets bogged down if I am doing too many things.
I was so annoyed with our national real estate site after they changed the format that I wrote a letter once a long time ago.. and I was ready to let them have it again, listing all the reasons why it is so bad and so much worse than the original.
Today for the first time, I accessed the site (mls.ca) using my new iMac. It was like lightening speed, comparatively speaking.
Wow, suddenly I knew why the mls people hadn't changed their new format.
But then I started going to other sites.. like airmiles.ca for example, and it was slow as heck... and stalling.. etc.
How would I be able to tell whether it is an internet slowness or the computer being slow?
well i bought a refurb macbook with 250 gbs hard drive, it came with 215 cus of the os etc. now i have 208 gbs. my question is when does hd space start to slow u down

WoW is on that hard drive and I was wondering since WoW has a reputation of slowing down computers, if I play while on the external drive will it still degrade performance of the computer when it's booted off the internal hard drive? ANd if it does, how noticeable will it be?
View 3 Replies View RelatedFor the past week I have been having a lot of problems with iCal and Syncserver. .Mac syncing has been hit and miss. Syncserver continually takes up 99% of the CPU and iCal hangs and is very slow. The computer is still (somehow) usable but overall very slow.
I have tried the following:
1. Restarts
2. Dump iCal plist files.
3. Turned off .Mac syncing
4. Trashed all calendars
5. Used syncrospector to reset syncservices.
6. Dumped syncservices folder.
Does anybody have an idea of what is going on, and what I can do?

I have been trying to get certificates from our AD PKI to our Mac Laptops for some time now under 10.6 so they can authenticate WPA2-Enterprise to our Cisco ACS wireless and Juniper SSL VPN.Since then working with Apple I was told to move to trying this under 10.7 with Profile Manager.I have set up the Windows 2008 r2 NDES server to accept the SCEP requests from the payload that Profile Manager distributes to the 10.7 clients.
After a lot of troubleshooting and work over a few weeks all is working well now. The test users can auth to wireless and the VPN.However - The cert that is returned to the user's login keychain for the client is exportable, even though we mark it as non-exportable in the certificate request template.I have been told that this is expected behavior by keychain when it requests a certificate via SCEP.
So I am looking for two things:Really?? You cannot get a cert in there as non-exportable? andDoes anyone know if this is a defect in Keychain or SCEP?The only other workaround I can find is to then request the cert, and from the client (an admin as we dont want the user to have the exportable private key) exports the cert, deletes it from keychain and then re-imports it with the import -x flag so it cannot be exported. This obviously doesnt scale and requires an admin to touch every laptop.

My computer is running very slow. Beach ball all the time. I have about 35mb hard drive free space and 4 MB RAM. I monitor with Activity Monitor. Everytime I open a program, like Safari, Adobe, Activity Monitor shows they use up to 99% CPU. It goes downafter a little while to a small perecntage, until I try to do something with them. Then many times, it will jump back up to high %CPU and give me the beachball and run very slow. This is a new thing. Does anyone know what may be the problem with my computer?

has anyone else noticed that the new safari update has made the program slower when loading pages? notably, the end of the page takes a second or two to load (whereas before it was much much quicker), and it will beachball for a sec as it finishes?
View 19 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.
