    How to speed up an iMac mid 2010 that's running very slow?

    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...

    MacBook Pro late 2013 running hot

    Hi there I've got an A1502 MacBook Pro 13" late 2013 (MBP 11,1; ME867LL/A) which I got secondhand. It's got the 2.8GHz i7 4558U, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Thing is; it runs hot. All the time. Idle temps fluctuate between 65°C and 99°C most of the times. I changed out the thermal paste twice...

    iPhone Cercube v4.2.2.10 Download Time

    Been trying to download an audio only file and noticed it's taking FOREVER...and if the iPhone goes to sleep, the download stops and completely deletes. Suggestions? Back when I used YouTube++ or ProTube, this never happened as speeds were always under a minute or two.

    4,1 with Apple 512GB SSD on Sintech slow pre-boot

    I dropped in a 512GB SSUBX AHCI blade removed from a 2014 Mac Mini into a Sintech card in my Mac pro as the boot volume. Performance is great, ~1500MB/sec. The problem is AFTER the boot chime, it takes 60 seconds at the gray screen before it starts to boot. GPU is boot screen capable. It acts...

    Decided to "migrate" my current user login to a fresh one — let's discuss

    I have a 2.8 GHz MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM. It's always been quite fast and it was basally the top-of-the-line model from that model run. But semi recently, it's be SLOOWWW. In particular, text input has been slow. Key combos take longer to activate then usual; there's...

    Apps Continuously Get Slower With Updates?

    I once made the mistake of updating to iOS 11 on my iPhone 5s and I suffered a lot because of that. The iOS 11 made the 5s as whole very very slow to the point where day to day tasks with the phone became irritating. iOS 12 however made things a little bit better, although it was nothing...

    MacBook Pro failure or SSD failure?

    Hi, The other day I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2011 (with an SSD) from Yosemite to High Sierra, it rendered it unusable. I attempted to do a clean install but it kept falling or stopping. I've now reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD that came with the MacBook (this took 17hrs). Again it's...

    Games lag - unless screen recording is on

    Hi guys. I've got a two-weeks-old iPhone XS (bought new from an Apple store) on iOS 12.1 facing a strange issue. I've been playing a lot of Girls' Frontline and noticed that the game lags and stutters a lot during combat. I mentioned it offhand to some friends and they said that it runs...

    iMac 21 (Late2013) slow boot on Mojave

    Hey, guys. I have a Late2013 iMac (2,9Ghz i5 / 8GB / 1GB video) running the SO in a external 1TB SSD and I never had speed problems. I use the internal HDD for storage only, there is no SO installed in... That internal 5400rpm is really a joke. I was at Sierra (not the High) and decided to...

    2018 MBA Slow WiFi Transfers

    Has any body else experienced slower than expected network file transfers over Wifi? I have noticed transferring large video files (2GB+) from my 2018 MacBook Air to a Western Digital MyCloud NAS is 4x-5x slower than it was on my 2013 MBA. Very puzzling.

    New M.2 drive has very slow transfer speeds

    Hello everyone, Yesterday I installed an ADATA SX8200 M.2 drive via a PCIe adapter in my 2009 Mac Pro (flashed to 5,1) and have found the read/write speeds to be less than stellar. For a drive that is supposed to get speeds of 3200 MB/s read and 1700MB/s write, I am getting lackluster speeds...

    iMac Pro Slow Boot - FileVault?

    I picked up a refurbished iMac Pro recently. I set it up and have FileVault running. I noticed when it starts up it takes a very long time (40 seconds +) after I hit the login screen (the one with the icons) before the Bluetooth mouse connects. The loading also feels a little glitchy and the...

    MacBook Pro 2018, Mojave, Throttle issue again

    Hi. I just updated from 10.13 -> 10.14 on the i9 MacBook Pro and now major throttling issue is back. Not like in High Sierra before the fix from apple, but just constant lower multicore clock speed (~2.6 in 10.14 from ~3.0 in 10.13). Cinebench has dropped from ~1050 to ~850 over 10 runs...

    SSD way forward?

    Hi, Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree as I'm not up to speed on tech. I have an early 2009 iMac with 8mb memory running El Capitan (the latest OS it will take). Recently start-up has been a problem: it takes ages, especially after a crash when each app gets a spinning cog. I've slimmed...
