slow

Yes, it’s an old Mac. But what’s going on here? It’s been cleaned up, fresh install of El Capitan, then the battery died for the last time. It still runs off the power cord though. It’s just so slow, uselessly slow! You have to wait to register a button click, a key press, or even for the mouse...

I've often heard that Macs don't need to be defragged, but I have a 8tb external usb drive that is getting slow; when I open a folder sometimes I need to wait a few seconds to see the contents (when the drive is mounted and awake). I still have 5tb available on this drive. At this link I saw...

I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2012. Unfortunately I experience random crashes which are followed by "3 beep tones" when I try to reboot immediately afterwards. I then have to wait a few minuntes and can then use the MBP again. I knew, that there is something shady going on (possibly even faulty...

HELP! My Mac is getting kind of sluggish while I'm working with it. It's been a couple of months already. I do only mail stuff on Safari, after about 15 minutes, then it becomes very slow creating or deleting tabs on Safari, even when I click on the Mac logo, it takes like 1 sec to respond. I...

I am debugging this issue for several days now and slowly but surely I am going crazy :) My issue is that after startup, the MacBook is extremely slow. No icons/files are shown on the desktop. Finder cannot be opened. I can barely open the Activity Monitor. I also cannot type anything in the...

I'm on 10.13.6. I replaced the battery on my MBA, and I can't recall if I had this issue before, but the pointer is moving very slowly via trackpad on the login screen. When I log out after having been logged in, it's normal as set for the user, but restarting makes it slow again. Any ideas...

I've bought an iphone 11 pro max last month and I noticed that it doesn’t feel as crispy as my stolen Iphone Xs Max, so I did an antutu benchmark and my score was abnormal... Im panicking right now hahahaha I would like to gently ask, can you guys with the same device make the test for...

Greetings. Did a clean install of macOS Catalina on my Late 2017 27'' iMac and my Activity Monitor takes around four (4) seconds to launch. It was happening in 10.25.0 and still happening in 10.15.2. If I look in console I see this: default 21:12:36.586163+0300 Activity Monitor Synchronize...

Hey guys first time posting on this forum ever in my life. Yesterday I upgraded my Mac mini drive to a Samsung 860 SSD but when I tested the drive speed it never reached max potential! I got around 200mb/s RW. I would like to mention that this SSD was previously installed on my Windows pc and...

I had installed Watch OS 6.1 beta 2 on my watch series 2. The watch screen now reacts slowly after delay. Was working perfectly fine on watch 5.x. Should I try installing 6.1 beta 4 or leave as it is till the public version is released for series 2.

Do you have problem with downloading macOS Catalina too? For me, system update showing 14 hours reamining (8.09GB)... Everything is slow - iTunes, App store and all update downloads... DO you have same problem? (Europe)

This is Linmon table top & magic mouse. The gunk makes the mouse movement slower. Do I need a mouse pad for my office table ?

...I'd go so far as to say worst Mac we've owned ever... A while back we bought new from Apple a late 2015, 27-inch, Retina 5K iMac. (3.2GHz i5, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9) as our new family machine. Now our first Mac was an LC475 (also know as 'that pizza box Mac...') so we've been through quite...

Hi, So what I've been wanting to ask for a number of weeks and months is this; when in System Preferences and the Desktop & Screensaver portion of same - Is this also so painfully slow that browsing and adding wallpapers is a minute long process at times? For instance I have a series of...

The wifi speeds on my 2018 MBP w Touchbar 13” are ridiculously slow. On my other devices in the same room on the same network, the download speed is around 35mbps(not great i know). These other devices, phone and ipad, work fine though. Websites load fast and youtube can load videos very...

I'm rocking a 13" 2018 MBP w/ Touch Bar. Got it in November. But lately something is up... it's just so slow. First, wifi. Takes 10 seconds to load a page. My other devices in the home are fine, iPad, iPhone. Internet speeds are okay, not great but okay. But then opening applications too, just...

Does anyone else experience slowness with creating desktop items via drag-and-drop? It's been like this for the last couple years and it's still an annoyance. I'm wondering if it's just me and some software I have installed or does the Finder really have issues with drag and drop? Here's a...

Hello So, I've been using maya forever and have just made the leap to redshift and GPU rendering. Purchased a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1080ti gaming for my 2010 12 core mac pro 5,1 , 64 GB ram with High Sierra. Pleased with the render results I went ahead and purchased a Geforce GTX 1070ti...

Hi all! I have an iMac Mid 2010 that I bought around 2012. It was running very well until last year, I guess. I only did a RAM upgrade on this machine (it has 14GB of RAM). I wasn't using this computer for a while (8 months or so) and now I got a job that I need to do on this machine. It was...
