  How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

  As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

  If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.

• Re: My Qosmio F60 - 11f is VERY SLOW and stuck all the time

  Hi everyone :)

  I have a qosmio f60 - 11f with 2.26 to 3.3 with turbo i7
  6 GB of Ram
  640 GB HHD
  1 GB Nvidia GT330M graphics

  the problem is that since I bought it and its slow I don't know why!
  Now the laptop over 14 months and I did a lot of recovery time because of problems and stuck, I him.
  last day I did the cover and I noticed that the laptop is becoming slower!
  It takes about 5 minutes to get started! not only that, after started and open any folder you will notice how slow it is. Even in the videos I can't open it because the laptop will be stuck and play the video very very slow!
  Please help me.

  Hello

  First of all I recommend to check the HARD disk for disk failure HARD errors that may affect the performance of the computer, you should check the HARD drive using freeware tools one of the tools that I use is the Drive Fitness Test he has been published several times here in the forum and its really great software.

  If the HARD drive would be ok and if no error would be detected, then, I recommend disabling some processes that are not important for you in many cases different tools would be charged during the OS start process and these tools run in the background that slow down the operating system.
  Run msconfig and check the Startup tab
  Here you will see all the programs that are loaded at the beginning, you can uncheck the tools is not necessary

  Note: If you are not sure what means the only process, use google and search in internet for more details otherwise don't disable this.

• What can I do if my MacBook runs very slowly?

  Since a few days now my MacBook takes 10 minutes to start, a few minutes to open a file. The cursor will move into a spin if it cross the screen too fast. I started using safe, but doesn't seem different.

  Any suggestions?

  Run this test and post the results here.

  Also, try these basic troubleshooting steps.

  Restart your Mac.

  Try to start:

  -Stop your Mac

  -Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the power button

  -Just after you hear the startup tone, press in and hold the SHIFT key

  -Release the SHIFT key when you see a gray Apple sign and the progress under this sign bar

  -Once your Mac boot, restart dhcpd as you usually do.

  If this does not help, follow the instructions below:

  -Stop your Mac

  -Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the power button

  -Just after you hear the startup tone, press in and hold the SHIFT key

  -Release the SHIFT key when you see a gray Apple sign and the progress under this sign bar

  -Once you see office, start a scan Disk Utility to detect and repair file system errors (remember to choose your primary hard drive)

  -Click on the disc to check, then, if requested to solve the problems on the repair disk

  -After that click on verify disk permissions, and then click Repair disk permissions

  -Once the process is complete, stop your Mac and turn it on again after 30 seconds

• Early 2009 Macbook A1181 battery recognized but 0% all the time load

  Hello
  I replaced my battery buy new ones but those cheap but has a few months (maybe that's the problem). It worked well hold a charge for a few hours and then a few weeks ago my Macbook started to shut down unexpectedly. I didn't know if the battery was the problem that it looked ok so I tried to remove the battery and my computer without it allows to see how it will behave.
  Those several days without the battery of my laptop is not shut down once but works on battery or even related to the MagSafe and with the battery inside of it could still turn off give me the "previous judgment cause: 0" in the console.
  In any case, I put the battery in, but after a day or so it stopped charging. MacBook recognizes the battery showing all information about it, I see the sign up right at right angles to the battery, but the charge is still 0% (showing "battery not charging") load. The led is yellow not green. not.
  I already reset SMC, PRAM repeatedly - nothing works. I also checked the battery connectors - everything seems fine. Here's the info from the system battery (I have translated some things coz, that is not in English):

  You always have the battery you have taken. The former. The yellow on the magsafe tells you that he is at least try to charge the battery. If the battery contains nothing at all, at least it will tell you if it's the battery or something else. Or you need to find a good battery known for your Macbook model to try. Worst case may be the internal battery cable.

  6 easy tips to speed up OS X Yosemite on your Mac.

  Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac.

  Start in Safe Mode , and then repair your hard disk and permissions:

  Fix the hard disk and permissions before Lion

  Boot from your OS X install disk. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the button continue. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu. After that the charges of THE select your entry from hard drive (mfgr. ID and car size) in the list on the left.  In the status area, you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is faulty or has failed. (State SMART is not reported on external drives Firewire or USB). If the drive is "verified", then select your OS X volume in the list on the left (subentries under the entry for the road), click the first aid tab, then click the repair disk button. If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the installer.

Otherwise, restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the OPTION key until the Boot Manager screen. Select recovery HD disk icon and click on the button below.

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility. After that the charges of THE select your entry from hard drive (mfgr.

If THE reports any errors that have been corrected, and then run repair disk again until no errors are reported. If no error is not reported, then click repair permissions. Wait until the operation is complete, then exit FROM and return to the main menu. Select restart from the Apple menu.

  Restart your computer normally and see if it helped at all. Then do little maintenance:

  For disk utility can't handle situations, the best third party is Disk Warriorutility;  Fixed DW only for problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by the corruption of directory; Warrior drive 4.x is now compatible with Intel Mac.

  Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will boot Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. He cannot start Mac that came with Lion or later preinstalled, however, DW will work on these models.

  Suggestions for OS X maintenance

  OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are supposed to take place on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Maintenance scripts that are run at the beginning AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep). If this isn't the case, then a great solution is to download and install a shareware like Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacronor Anacron utility that will automate the maintenance regardless of whether activity if the computer is off or asleep.  Dependence on third-party utilities to run periodic maintenance scripts has been significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have little or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later version, and must not be installed.

  OS X automatically defrags files smaller than 20 MB in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files it little need to defragment the hard drive.

  Under no circumstances should you install operating MacPaw or ZeoBit software (CleanMyMac/CleanMyDrive or Mac Keeper, respectively.) You don't need special software to keep your computer.

  Useful links about malware Protection

  "If you have an immediate problem with ads popping up see the Mac without danger" Adware removal Guide and AdwareMedic.

  Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click the Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If it stops your problem, then re-enable one by one until the problem returns. Now remove this extension as it is the origin of the problem.

  The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

  Difficulty a few pop ups browser that supported Safari

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

  An excellent link to read is Tom Reed Mac Guide of malicious programs.

  Also, visit the FAQ XLab and read of detection and avoid malicious software and spyware.

  Check out these articles from Apple:

  Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection

  OS X Lion-Protect your Mac against malicious software

  OS X Lion mountain - protect your Mac against malicious software

  OS X Mavericks-Protect your Mac against malicious software

  On the quarantine of file under OS X

  If you need antivirus protection Thomas Reed recommends to use ClamXAV. (Thanks to Thomas Reed to this recommendation.)

  The user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:

  The facts are:

  1. There is no anti-malware software can detect 100% of malware out there.

  2. There is no anti-malware that can detect all targeting the Mac.

  3. the best way to prevent breaches the most is for you as the user is aware that

  the most successful malware attacks rely on sophisticated social engineering

  techniques preying on human greed, * and fear.

  4 Internet pop-up windows telling the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on

  your computer is designed to trick you into installing their malware thinking it's a

  protection against malware.

  5. some of the anti-malware market products are worse than malware

  go where they are supposed to protect you.

  6. be careful where you go on the internet.

  7. don't download anything from sites, you know are safe.

  8 avoid links that you receive in email, always be wary, even if you get something

  you think a friend is, but that you did not expect.

  9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume that it is malware.

  Troubleshooting Applications

  I recommend that you download a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaneror hiding a Cocktail that you can use to delete the former newspapers and archives, cleaning, etc. Corrupted cache, logs or temporary files can slow down the application or OS X crashes and panics of the kernel.

  If you have leopard snow or leopard, then for similar repairs install Applejackfreeware utility.  If you do not start in OS X, you can boot into single-user mode , where you can run Applejack to make a set of routines for repair and maintenance of the command line.  Note that it takes 1.5 AppleJack for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later versions.

  Basic backup

  For some people, Time Machine will be more than enough. Time Machine is part of Mac OS X. There are two components:

  1. a panel of Time Machine preferences as part of the system of preferences;

  2. a request for Time Machine, located in the Applications folder. It's

  used to manage backups and restore backups. Time Machine

  requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the

  drive being backed up.

  You can also get an external drive at least equal to the size hard disk internal and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the disk utility's restore option. You can also create and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (the order is not significant):

  1 Carbon Copy clone

  2. get backup

  3 already seen

  4 superDuper!

  5. Synk Pro

  6. Tri-Backup

  Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the backup and restore.  Also read How to back up and restore your files. For using Time Machine, visit FAQ Time Machine of Pondini for help with all this time Machine.

  Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate .

  Additional tips

  Make sure you have a sufficient amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run simultaneously. Make sure to leave a minimum of 10% of the capacity of the hard disk as free space.

  Add more RAM. If your computer less than 2 GB of RAM and you use OS X Leopard or later, then you can do it with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion works much better with 4 GB of RAM that is their system. Most concurrent applications, that you tend to use the more RAM you should have.

  Always have at least 15 GB, or 10% of the capacity of your hard disk as free space, the largest. OS X frequently accesses your hard disk, so offering enough free space will keep things slow down.

  Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:

  Before Mavericks

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  Mavericks and later versions

  Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

  This problem occurs often because of a corrupted cache or the preferences file or an attempt to write in a corrupted log file.

• MacBook Pro (3-inches, mid-2012) suddenly started running very slowly; Beach balls very common

  About a week and a half, it started running very slowly with the spinning beach balls popping up all the time.  This reminds me of how when I have too many tabs of the browser as in the past, but now, even with browsers had closed, open Word or Skype is really slow.  (I'm sorry for any confusing formulation; I'm not very computer customer connected, unfortunately!)

  Some of the things I've tried so far and EtreCheck below):

  -safe mode

  -detection of hardware problems (control + D)

  -reset the PRAM

  -using the utility disc for repair/first care; also check

  -wipe the hard drive and reinstalling original OS X Lion (was still slow with beach balls; I tried to install OS X El Capitan to see if that would help, but installation could not finish)

  -wipe the hard drive and restarting from a backup previous (one month before the problems started)

  You Mbps HARD drive is suspect.  Start the recovery (COMMAND-R) partition and select in menu 4 disk utility.  Run disk utility > first aid > repair.

  Unrelated, but your battery has seen a lot of use.  I suggest to replace.

  Ciao.

• Since the installation of Kaspersky Internet Security my computer is running very slowly.

  My computer is running very slowly since the installation of Kaspersky Internet Security... Can we have too much security, causing a slow computer?

  My old security provider (Hauri) ran well which allows a fast download...

  I am an elderly person with no knowledge of these things and need advice... Thank you

  What to do if your computer is running slowly

• I updated my drivers and now my computer runs very slowly. How to solve the problem?

  I've recently updated my Intel graphics driver and my drivers Nvidia because they were terribly outdated. As a result, I am able to run some games that I couldn't run before, but my computer became very slow. Now, the startup time is significantly slower, and the worst part is that the actual performance of the system is slower. I checked in the Task Manager, and my physical memory constantly rotates between 40 and 60% (I have 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7) without any game or program being open, except the web browser and Skype.

  What is perhaps the reason for this problem? Is certainly the problem in the drivers? How to solve the problem?

  "My graphics card is GEFORCE GTX 660 M. Is it compatible with the latest driver? »

  Ah! A laptop computer. With laptops, it is generally better to download the driver from the mfg, not Nvidia.

  This is because the computer laptop mfg bring changes that can make the improper generic Nvidia driver.

  and while I always count should not slow down the system... You never know.

  "What services I need to run.

  
  Just to keep the correct terminology-

  Services is the area where you stopped the service of bitlocker.

  The start is where you keep things from loading when you start in Windows.

  -Most of the time what's in Startup deactivation is something personal need, but there are some things that

  I must be on the left.

  I leave the Intel common user interfaceand Installshield update service, mainly because I don't bother

  Discover what they are doing.

  I also let anti-virus, Realtek audio, software profile keyboard and a few other things active.

  I don't have Adobe Flash loading with Windows, but I don't use it a lot, and when I do the software that

  uses it it launches automatically.

  The bottom line here is that if you have software that you use all the time, it is more convenient to have it start with

  Windows.

  -Concerning the Services. This also has to do with personal preferences to a certain extent, but most things can be left alone.

  I do not use the Services tab in the Configuration of the system, because I think it's only a one time adjustment.

  (Clean boot, linked earlier, is the best tool for the verification of conflicts with Services)

  To stop or disable a Service manually, tap - services.msc - in the run command to open

  the main window of Services.

  There is an Adobe Flash update in Services that should be kept, but when Adobe makes an update

  I select the option notify me, but not to install it automatically.

  I always preferred this with any updates, including Windows updates as there is less chance of a corrupt

  Update If you're aware, it happens and do not do something intensive system while the update is being installed, particularly when an update requires a restart to complete.

  -Registry. In the control run, type - regedit - and browse the registry with the file path in the

  previous post and follow the instructions. You can save the key you are modify if you wish, that the use of the

  backup to change the value to what is current would be faster than navigating to the key again.

  -When playing around with things you are not familiar with creating a System Restore point before you

  making these changes is a good insurance policy.

  If you don't know how to create a system restore point - time to do some research.

  In fact, all of the above is covered by tons of tutorials out there in the www.

  SSD vs HDD - the specifications of the system for you the machine should be in your user manual or on the

  MFG web site.

  Prefetch is useful with HARD drive, because it improves performance somewhat, but read-ahead is not really necessary with SSD.

  and can reduce the life expectancy SSD a bit (there is debate on gravity)

  More research for more details. D

  -If you use a HARD disk and that you have enabled Prefetch, the Prefetch will be rebuilt over time, if you delete the files.

  -Here's another tip for when you are not sure of the impact of deleting files.

  Rename file/folder. You can do something like add another couple of P to the front, or a 1a which will move

  the file to the top of the window. If nothing is wrong in the next few days, you can delete the folder.

  This method protects to empty the trash accidentally and lose the file/folder.

  -Speaking of deleting the file. A great TEMP folder can slow things way down.

  Run Windows, Disk Cleanup . This will remove many files in the Temp folder.

  Or, for a full, clean, go to the - your User\AppData\Local\Temp

  Open the Temp folder and delete anything that can be deleted (impossible to delete the files that are used).

  -Defragment your HARD drive

  -Run the Zig - zag Kit you'd use again and analyze the results.

  It was a long, huh!

• My new macbook freezes all the time, I hard shut - downs, just Mac Tech run diagnostics and say that everything is fine. I think I bought a lemon.

  My new Macbook Air freezes all the time, I do closures hard then it comes back, in general. The tech simply ran Mac twice diagnostics and says that nothing is wrong with it. I think I bought a lemon. Any ideas what I need to do? Is it's better to go to a real Apple store rather than just Mac for repairs/diagnosis? Is the customer service nothing better in a real store?

  The guarantee gives the right to the free phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  If you bought the product in the United States directly from Apple (not a retailer), you have 14 days from the date of delivery where to Exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you purchased from a reseller, its return policy applies.

• Messages running very slowly

  Hello

  I had problems with the Messages from Apple these days. The application runs very slowly. When I try to type a new message, roulette rises and the application crashes. Or sometimes he will stop in the middle of typing and then catch up later. Switching between messages is also very slow.

  Any advice?

  Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Click on the clear view icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that does not work the way you expect. Select all of the lines that appear in the Console window. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.
