iMac (retina) - Fusion 8 - 10 Windows - very slow

Hi guys,.

I need help troubleshooting a Windows 10 virtual machine that runs at snail's pace. Installation program:

-iMac (retina 5 k, 27 inches, end of 2015)

-Processor: 3.2 Ghz Intel core i5

-Memory: 8 GB

-Storage: 1 TB drive of Fusion

-Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 M390

-OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

-VMware Fusion 8

-10 Windows Home / 64 Bit, completely updated according to the settings / Windows Update.

I installed Fusion 8, installed 10 Windows using the ISO from Microsoft site and added VM Ware Tools. The installation went without any problems.

VMware for this Windows 10 VM parameters:

-CPU: 1 heart of processor

-RAM: 1 GB (shown as recommended in the control panel)

-Hard drive: 60 GB

I adapted only screen size settings in order to have Fusion / 10 Windows using the full resolution on the Retina display (Scaled high resolution) for unity and full screen. "Accelerate 3D graphics" it's on.

I'm now trying to use this virtual machine and it is extremely slow - both in full screen mode and one-stop shops. For example, after you click the icon on the start menu, it takes about 10 seconds until the start menu appear effectively. Chrome opening = 90 seconds. What switching applications or dragging of windows, you can sometimes watch the screen redraw. Sluggish _really_.

OS X monitor shows only moderate, activity should the CPU activity.

In the Windows 10 VM, the Task Manager / processes tab shows moderate (30%) Support CPU but memory, its use is constantly between 90 and 100% - even when no apps are open. However, no task stands out as a resource hog.

I went on "Pre-allocate disk space" in the control panel merge and change RAM of 2 GB to give VM more. Performance feels a whole little bit better, but the load high memory remains even when the system is idle.

This feels like a cheap $ 250, low-power PC. Is this normal?

I'd appreciate any help here.

1 GB of RAM for Windows 10 is far from weak. It will be 'run', but not well. Even 2 is pushing it. 1 processor is pushing it too.

It behaves like a PC $250 because that's essentially what you have given to resources.

  • DW CS5.5 and 8.1 of Windows - very slow dw & design mode does not work for 1 Web site

    Hello

    I use DW CS5.5 and 8.1 of Windows on a PC. The PC has a lot of memory and power. I use DW 5.5 for the manufacturing and Assembly of Web sites. My laptop has a 17 inch screen. For a site specific Web I have change, page not in 'Design view' without going to "Live View". Also for this one site, DW5.5 is very, very slow and unresponsive. The site is great but has not much JavaScript which would slow down so much performance. I won't change the preferences registry because it is the only site that I'm working on that has this problem. If you answer, please be very clear and explicit in the steps I have to take. Thanks in advance for your help and support. Sorry that the wrong title was on my post.

    The first thing I would do, because it seems to only be one site, is this site 'wrong' for html errors. Run the validator at http://validator.w3.org/nu and clean up all the errors that it finds.

  • Photoshop CS3 for Windows very slow

    I use Photoshop CS3 on a Windows Vista Help. He got a quick bicoeur processor. In the last couple months Photoshop started to run so slowly that it is virtually unusable. I have reset the preferences again. I brought up the RAM in the PC from 2 GB to 4, and offered no relief. I allocated more RAM to Photoshop. Nothing did.

    I reached a breaking point today and spent a whole day of troubleshooting. I have concluded that it is a problem with the installation of Photoshop, asking way too much space to work. For example, when I open a 2.5meg file on this computer, it requires 3.6 GB of disk space to work. When I opened the same exact file on another machine, you must only 95 megs of disk space to work. I more than 4 GB of available disk space for the use of disk work on the affected machine, but the fact that it is done all this reading and writing to a disk hard kill the performance of the application.

    Of course, there is a problem with the installation of the software. I tried to reinstall, and it does not help.

    I called Adobe tech support line, and they don't touch this questions. They wanted me $39 to even hear what the problem was and said that they were not sure they could solve any problem - load especially one like that - after accepting the payment. (So, why would I give them a credit card number?) They suggested I post here instead. (Uh, great support strategy, huh?) I'm a little frustrated, if you can't tell...)

    OK, so off the complainant now. Ideas for what I can do - short clamping this PC and buy a new one to reinstall on?

    OliverSSSSS wrote:

    Yet one thing I might add that could lead a thought for someone. When I launch Photoshop, the boot process hangs for about 2 minutes on the stage where the application is 'reading preferences.'

    I assume that already reset you your preferences as described in the FAQ.  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/375776?TSTART=0

    You must physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if you use the Alt, Ctrl, and shift, don't forget you get a confirmation dialog box.

    This resets all settings in Photoshop default.

    Another source of slowness can be no local printers or on the "recent" list files that are on the network drives.

  • Just downloaded Photoshop CS6 on my new iMac, and it seems to be very slow when I try to change the images?

    When I use spot Healing Brush tool and clone for example stamp, I have to wait for a while see the changes I'm making. On-site 'dark marks' Healing Brush tool made of brush, stay on the photo for a long time, before it disappears.
    and the little corner, I tried to remove it, disappeared. Sometimes, I have to click somewhere else in the picture, to make him disappear dark spot. A little hard to explain, but it seems much slower than when I used Photoshop Cs6 on my Macbook Pro.
    for many years. Not had a problem with Photoshop so. Is this normal? Is there something I can do? Updates? Have tried to reinstall Photoshop.

    Please make sure that the computer meets the minimum system requirements.

  • race of retina iMac 5 k very slow!

    I bought this iMac a year - 1/2 years ago. The first months worked well. But since then, it is incredibly slow! It takes forever for anything either load, the beachball showing constantly and is even when you type. My internet connection is fine, so is not. I called Apple support last year and the diagnostic test came back as ADPOOO (no problem) and Apple support person told me to reboot and press a few keys shortcut (don't remember now) and it seemed to solve the problem... If only temporarily! The question came back quickly and I got frustrated and ended up not using my computer much and just use my ipad and iphone instead. Now I need to use my computer and the problem is obviously still there. I could call the Support, but this time that it will cost $40, so I'll do this as a last resort if I can't find a solution here. I have attached the report of EtreCheck below. If someone could help me I would be very grateful!

    Correctly, uninstall the security software.

    If you do not know how, do a web search to find how to properly uninstall the security software.

    It is not necessary on Mac and OS X and use all the resources of your Mac.

    If you really need the security of your computer, change the security setting inside the software for your Internet MODEM/router.

    Good luck

  • Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

    This has two questions:

    1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

    2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

    3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

    Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

    The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

    Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

    Is there a way to get what I need?

    That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

    After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

    Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

    A. take backup

    1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

    B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

    1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

    Cs diskutil list

    2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

    I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

    Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

    and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

    This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

    2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

    Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

    3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

    C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

    1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

    D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

    1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

    2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

    3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

    4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

    -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

    -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

    -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

    5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

    It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

    Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

    For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

    Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

    6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

    7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

    E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

    1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

    2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

    F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

    Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

    1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

    6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

    The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

    The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

    G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

    1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

    2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

    3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

    4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

    5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

    Cs diskutil list

    6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

    diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

    CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

    7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

    1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

    / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

    1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

    2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

    3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

    4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

    5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

    8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

    diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

    Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

    In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

    So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

    9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

    diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

    10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

    11 exit the terminal, go back to OSX El Capitan install screen and select the name of the fuser unit 'Macintosh HD' proceed to begin the installation of the os x for installation.

    12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

    13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

    14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

    15. yet once please take personal responsibility on damage if you follow the instructions in this article.

  • Very slow performance on iMac, please help

    I installed VMware Fusion on my iMac and my normal iMac works perfectly. However, the VMware runs MUCH MORE slow. Here are the specs on my computer:

    2.7 GHz i5

  • Merger of retina 21.5 "iMac does not Bootcamp for Windows 10 drivers / auto diagnosis repair

    Hi all

    Hoping someone has encountered this before. We have a 15 Apple 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB fusion drive that must have bootcamp for a classroom environment. I am trying to build at least one of them. Here's the context:

    1 El Capitan for Mac environment

    2. Windows 10 (education)

    3 21.5 "Retuna iMac with 1 TB disk fusion (16 GB of RAM)

    Question: Windows 10 starts in "diagnostic auto repair", after that the bootcamp drivers are loaded. The iMac restarts in Windows 10, but forced to do a "restore" which throws pilots bootcamp (version 6)

    I try to reinstall 6 new bootcamp drivers (I managed to copy it to a Flash DRIVE via the OSXReserve Partition) but the same problem occurs.

    Any suggestions? My thought was to upgrade to Windows 7, use this version of bootcamp, Windows 10 upgrade together but alas, the iMac of retina does not support Windows 7. I have to get an ISO of Windows 8.1 and I hope this can work...

    Stuck in bootcamp *.

    W10 forced updates seem to be your culprit.

  • very slow Powerbook fine, iMacs

    My family uses 2 iMacs (1 2013, 1 earlier) and an Apple Powerbook at home. 2 iMac is incredibly slow, but the speed of the Powerbook is fine. IMacs both have a lot of unused storage and memory and I completely restored two iMacs and deleted unnecessary files, but they are very slow. I have everything back up on Dropbox and wonder now if the slowness is something to do with the combination of the signal at high speed and by using several connections of Dropbox in the House.  We have a Virgin Media Hub Super 2ac with advertised broadband router of up to 150 Mbps. I made a speed control using www.speedtest.com and the download speed is 105.81 Mbps and download speed is 9.70 Mbps. Any ideas anyone?

    You can view a report of etrecheck for later analysis

    but I would like to disable and remove dropbox to test the system and if they improve the problem there.

  • my 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow

    My 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow - I think especially after I've upgraded to El Capitan. Otherwise, everything in the computer works perfectly and I m using only 200 I have the 1 TB. Onyx and other tests can't find anything wrong. I mainly use my computer for word documents and to manage his photos about 30 000. The internal memory is 2 x 2 GB. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to speed it up? Thank you.

    I wish I had an answer, but all I can do is rather echo to your problem. I have a 19 mid-2007 "iMac, contributed to the maximum with the RAM, 1 t disc hard less that half full, who did the same thing - he has worked with El Capitan until I updated to the latest version. Once that has happened the machine became so slow as to be unusable. It would take ten or twelve minutes to record a mouse click. When I restarted the machine, it took 32 HOURS to start (Fortunately it isn't my main Mac production).

    Last week, I tried all the remedies of common sense - by removing unused software, keeping an eye on the activity monitor (there is nothing fancy here), etc. Finally, I did all the stuff start, PRAM, run utilities disk (no noted problem) and even tried to reinstall El Capitan to a bootable USB I did with my first Mac, the reinstall, but seemed not 'take' somehow - he wanted to repeat the installation procedure again and again.

    I use the little Mac for Internet, e-mail and (as Karlis2) deal with some of the oldest pictures in my files - I'm sure that I have pictures on Time Machine, so I'm not too worried about it, but this was the first Mac way back in the day, I bought with my money and I'm a little sentimental on and would like to resurrect if possible... I wonder if there is a way to restore the operating system to an earlier version and it would make a difference?
