slow

Hi all, in apps with such as Safari, but also the Music app in macOS 14.4.1, the sound plays too slowly after a while. You can also see this because, the sound in YouTube videos plays slower than the video. At first I thought this was due to YouTube, or to the cache or Cockies in general. But...

Hi, my MacBook Air 2012 suddenly fall into the situation of Super Slow like Super Lagging and it seems "Almost" would never Login after started up! I've tried, Reboot, Safe Mode, Recovery Mode, PRAM Reset, Disk Utility to Repair Disk, work without any connections (Bluetooth or WiFi or USB...

Background: Bought a 14" M3 Max 64G 1TB. Thought it was great. Did a test export with Devinci Resolve (details to follow) and it took 37s. Decided however 1TB was to small for my work flow. Returned it and ordered 14" M3 Max 64GB 2TB. Tried the same export. 1m 4s. May not seem like a big...

Hi all, I have loved using this laptop for the last 10 years but in the last 12months it seems to have become slower and slower :(. I have found Firefox becoming very slow when browsing Facebook and other sites and Thunderbird and Keynote can be incredibly slow - complete stop. Occasionally...

We picked up 4 Airtags and bound them to my wifes iPhone, which she then shared to my account using the new feature in iOS 17. Both my iPhone and iPad can see them. However the location of the tags updates very very slowly, if at all. I tested this today by putting my spare iPhone with her in...

Hello. I'm on macOS Ventura 13.5 on a mac studio with an M1 Ultra on the latest version of Safari. None of this matters as I have been experiencing these things forever, but that's to show I don't lack power and updated software. I'm just noticing that despite safari being touted as the...

A few years late on this, but apparently when Gatekeeper was added in Catalina, it caused quite the splash (see Allan Odgaard's post, MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design). One of the big issues is that syspolicyd (aka Gatekeeper) phones home to Apple before the first launch of any new executable: not...

I recently purchased an iBook G4 12" 1.33ghz. It's the fastest 12 inch ibook out there. I did all the servicing, thermal grease, cleaning, and a new 100gb toshiba hard drive. However, I notice that when I turn it on, it stays for several seconds on a gray screen before the apple, for me this is...

Updated my 2019 Intel iMac from Monterey to Ventura in December. Aside from some light browsing, etc. hadn't used it much since the update, but have started using it more lately and am noticing slow Internet connection speeds (Zoom not working well anymore, podcast downloads slow, speed tests...

I tried Googling this but only get generic answers or solutions to different problems. I recently reacquired a Mac Pro (7,1) and it worked well initially. When I added 2x spinning disks and a SATA ssd using a sonnet J3i, it takes a long time to boot. The spinning indicator spins for 3-4...

Hi. Just received my MacBook Pro (M1, 2021) but when I airdrop something from my iPhone or iPad to Mac it is so slow, it takes up to 40 seconds to start sending files and transfer is not as fast as my previous Mac, however that doesn’t happen when I airdrop from Mac to other devices. I...

I've been using iMovie forever... since it first came out. I still have a copy of iMovie HD I use from time to time on an old G4 tower. I have Premiere at my disposal, but I've always liked the quick-simplicity of iMovie. I am up an running on the a Mac Studio, base MAX option. I have never had...

When is apple going to speed up iCloud. Why should a 15GB photo library take longer than a few hours to download. For example, my wife's 40GB photo collection took 2 days to download on her brand new Mac mini m1.. I pay for the 2TB iCloud option and it is ridiculous slow. I also have dropbox...

Yesterday a friend asked if I could call her elderly mother who lives several hours away because her mom's iMac was really slow. A 2017 i5 8GB w/ 1TB HDD running MacOS Mojave. "All mom ever does is email". So I called mom, had her reboot, try Safe Mode, no change. Talked her through signing into...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the community and I am trying to remedy my issue. I just purchased a Mac Mini mid 2010 for $15 that was expected to have a bad hdd but turned out it was the sata cable. I ordered a 1tb SSD Hynix gold and 16gb of ram. I updated my Mac from snow leopard that it came with...

I've had my Macbook Air since 2020 after my last computer broke. It was great in the beginning, worked super fast and had no real issues with it. Now a year and a bit down the line it's starting to act up. Tad slower, overheating, etc. I've always made sure to use it on flat surfaces, so...

Hello Community, I own a 21.5 inch iMac from 2011 with 2.7 GHz quad core processor i5 from Intel and last month I removed the old AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics card and replaced it with the Quadro K610M. I chose the K610M because I'm not very handy and would have to mill something up for another...

Hey guys, I have a really strange issue (at least for me) with Time Machine after upgrading to Monterey. Normally, a new complete backup takes between 3 to 5 hours for me using a 4TB USB 3, my Passport drive as the time machine drive. After upgrading to macOS Monterey, the system is very...

I have been using a QNAP NAS 6-bay setup at work for the past 2 years with R/W speeds upwards of 1.4GB/Sec (thanks to 2TB cache and 32GB Ram in the NAS). Until about a month ago those speeds were constant. Now, all of a sudden, I'm hitting 100MB/sec with absolutely no changes to my setup...

hi, I recently swapped out my (2TB) dual fusion drive setup on my 2017 iMac 27", to a singular 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe with the Sintech adapter. Alongside the SSD swap, I also installed 32GB of Crucial memory, coming from the stock 8GB apple memory. Before I sealed the screen back up, I...
