MY iMAC starts slowly

• Satellite P750-13N starts slowly

  Hello

  I bought a new computer for my birthday earlier in the month. I installed all my software and transferred all my data from my old laptop and I noticed after a week or so that the start-up is time consuming.

  Basically, once that windows loads, theres a circle over the wireless icon and it seems to take ages to locate my wireless network. I try to load firefox, but it dosnt open for at least 5 minutes, and nothing responds for about 4 or 5 minutes.

  I tried to do a clean boot, and although it seemed better, I can't seem to locate the problem. I uninstalled AVG and tried to uninstall most of the bloatware without success. If I do a clean install, it will be the second time I did and I really don't want to go that route.

  Can someone tell what could be wrong with my laptop.

  The sysinfo are:

  OS version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit
  Processor: Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz, Intel64 family 6 model 7 Stepping 42

  Hello

  Your laptop starts slowly because your system loads a lot of junk at the beginning.
  First of all, I recommend turning off some process that would be loaded while the laptop starts.

  Launch msconfig (in the search type msconfig) and go to the Startup tab.

  Now you can uncheck certain processes is not necessary.
  I would like to disable all Apple processes... they don t had to be loaded at the beginning

  + C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\APSDaemon.exe +

  Also turn off steam.exe

  After restarting again uncontrolled processes should not be loaded

• Satellite L100 113 starts slowly after upgrade memory

  Hello

  Toshiba Satellite L100 113 PSLA3E-02401JRU starts slowly after upgrade memory with Kingston KTT533D2-512 (512 MB) of memory.
  When I press the 'power' button, it flashes, starts the fans and HARD drive several times. Then it shows BIOS start messages by memory full 768 MB and starts Windows XP without a problem.
  This behavior is noticed only after "shut down."
  It does not happen with "restart".
  What can I do to eliminate this long "attempts" to start my laptop computer?

  Thank you
  Novomir Kovalenko

  Hello

  This problem appears before upgrade memory?
  Have you used exactly the same memory modules?
  If this isn't the case, then perhaps there are a few compatibility issues.

  Usually, after the insertion of the modules you must enter the BIOS and then save the settings. Please it and eventually the laptop will start without any problems.

  Well, your system seems well except it is lack of RAM. An iMac 2009 end can support up to 32 GB of RAM, I recommend you install 8 GB that you would get up to 12GB. If you decide to do, then use only Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com) RAM. iMacs are skittish about the use of high quality RAM. The two recommended providers who provide at reasonable prices and outstanding customer service.

• My new iMac runs slowly

  Hello. First time poster. I use Mac Laptops since 2008 and have been super happy with them. Got my first office in April, but didn't really use it until about 2 months ago (perform a certain work of photoshop and illustrator). I was immediately surprised by the slow the iMac running right from the start. I kept hope he would run faster, but it didn't, and it's so frustrating. Basically, I get the color wheel when I'm trying to do. Almost every command takes much longer it would take on my laptop more old. I can't imagine that this is normal. I have applecare, but I didn't drag my 3 grandsons and the iMac to the store just to have to tell me, it's good. Following the suggestion of another post, I saw, I did etrecheck and he said that the performance was good (I did not understand the rest of the report). Any advice?

  Hi tinyhouse, can you please share the EtreCheck report with us?

• Thunderbird starts slowly after update

  I've recently updated Thunderbird version 31.4 and since then TB starts very slowly. What happens is that when I click on TB icon in the Quick Launch bar, the borders of tuberculosis appear but nothing else. After about 20 seconds the rest of tuberculosis appears, but until that what is happening I just the four borders around an empty space. Is there something I can do for TB take less than 30 seconds to be in place and working properly?
  Out of curiosity why just the borders appear and put the empty space for 20 seconds?

  When your problem has been resolved, can mark this thread as "solved" Please?

• Problem with iMac Start Up - file flashes and no sound

  Hello.

  I was using my iMac mid 2007 earlier today, when he started to slow down, with the color wheel appearing whenever I tried to click on something.

  I left only for a few seconds, thinking that he just needed some time, before the screen went all white. I turned off the computer in decision-making, tried to restart, but after several attempts to turn it back on, all I get is a white screen and a file flashing with an exclamation mark on the subject.

  I tried the cmd + R trick, but it does not work and there is also no startup sound, that is, or so I read, when you're supposed to press these keys.

  According to me, the iMac has been updated to OS X El Capitan (10.11), otherwise this was Yosemite, but I don't know what level of the update, I was on. I can't access the computer for you tell all the other details, but I'm sure he had a memory of 4 GB, I have improved the memory myself.

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  The flashing? means that it cannot find your hard drive. Looks like your hard drive is faulty / failed.

• iMac responds slowly

• HP Probook G3 450: Start slowly after bios update

  Hello everyone,

  I am a new user of laptop Hp so I need your help, I want to thank you for your time to read and help me with this problem.

  Yesterday, I updated the bios Hp SoftPaq Download Manager recommendation. Progress to succeed and the result of this action made my laptop boot really slowly. The first time, it took just 10 seconds to start windows 10 compared to more than two minutes after the update of the bios.

  I've already searched google for help, but it still does not originally.

  Please help me with your experience on it, I really appreciate all your help.

  Best wishes

  Assuming that this PC came with the edition of Win10, all I can guess at this point is the default setting for FastStartup is in conflict with the new version of the BIOS.  It is a new form of hibernation which is supposed to speed up your boot process, but in some cases, it actually slows down.

  There are two ways to disable FastStartup Win8/10; (1) via the control panel and (2) through a command prompt high.
  
  Control Panel - open Control Panel-> Power Options.
  Select ' choose what buttons power. "
  Select "change settings that are currently unavailable".
  At the bottom of the window, under stop settings, uncheck the box about quick startup
  
  High - command prompt run the following command:
  REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power" v HiberbootEnabled /T REG_dWORD 0 f d
  
  In both cases, restart Windows.

  If this doesn't fix it, there is something to play and while this PC is still under warranty, you should contact HP Customer Support directly so they put you in contact with HP Tech Support to see what they can do on the diagnosis and repair of your machine remotely.
  
  I did recently, and HP technology was able to remotely access my PC on the Internet and to make the necessary repairs.

• After the restart, firefox starts slowly, a script is not responding and answers continually.

  Hi everyone, I have a true glance.

  My firefox has always worked fine before, but I had to do a factor reset on my laptop and now there is a serious problem.

  After installed, firefox works fine, but after a restart of the computer, it hangs, becomes sensitive and always this message after only 2-3 mins "script is unresponsive script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml.2425 ' either press on continue or stop the script does not stop at his lack of reaction

  This problem occurs in Firefox and Windows safe mode. I do not have Add ons installed and I also scanned for malware and there is not. I tried to reinstall clean without result.

  Any help much appreciated!

  In this case the Firefox homepage integrated display and no other site?

  In order to exclude Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or two of the following ways:

  (1) disable the Safe_mode of the Flash Player plugin.

  The following pages provide different ways to do this:

  • Adobe technical support under the heading of 'Last resort' article: Adobe Forums: how to fix protected Flash Player for Firefox mode?
  • Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
  • Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078

  Flash must unload completely from memory (Firefox restart might help) before it would take effect.

  (2) the value of Flash Click-to-Play ("ask to activate").

  This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve, which will distinguish the questions generated by Flash to load and layout problems.

  To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

  When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

  Any improvement in these scenarios?
