• Re: Satellite A500 slow even after a clean install of Windows7

  My laptop has suddenly slowed a lot about 4 weeks and seemed to have a virus problem causing a BSOD. Any attempt to solve this problem have failed, while we just do a clean install of Windows7, in the hope of resolving the issue of speed.

  However it takes a few seconds to respond to each click of the mouse at a point where only Bullguard antivirus and Windows 7 are installed on the laptop.

  I checked that the latest BIOS is installed v1.90.

  I checked that all device drivers are up-to-date.
  I checked the hard drive for the flaws and bad segments.

  Please can anyone offer help or advice?

  Thank you very much.

  Hey Buddy,

• HP Mini 210-1000 is very slow, even after disabling several programs.

  I bought a HP Mini 210-1000 little more than one year. 1 GB of RAM. Win 7 Basic. Since only my son used and that occasionally, I never realized how incredibly slow, it was. Often, it takes 1 min for IE open a page. Even though I have broadband, I can't watch Netflix movies. I have disabled several programs in the menu of boot, run CCleaner, but it is still slow. When I check the Task Manager, it seems that 60-70 memory is used even when the CPU usage is 5%. I tried to tune up with HP Support Assistant, but when I click on update, it fails to update, fails to analyze or gather information. HP Support Assistant is only for products still under warranty? Can I maybe just uninstall and reinstall? Or am I left with no other choice than the upgrade of perhaps the memory? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

  I was thinking about product and written a part.

  The first time I asked the correct thing and, unfortunately, I made a mistake.

  My advice? I would upgrade the RAM to 2 GB.

• My iPhone 6 guard making his power on and off loading when it is connected with the MacBook Air early 2015

  Hi Please help me. My iPhone 6 retains what load noise when connected with my MacBook Air early 2015. It makes me crazy! I tried with several real Apple's USB cables, update to the latest iOS (phone and MacBook), updated the iTunes, clean the orifices, everything! I just got this MacBook on the Apple store. Please help me! Thanks in advance!

  Hi mikaelaridz,

  I understand that you just bought a MacBook Air in an Apple store, and when you plug your iPhone 6 in it, you are to hear a sound indicating that the connection does not work.  If your MacBook Air has a port USB - C, you must use the USB - C for Lightning cable to connect your iPhone.

  Using the USB - C port and adapters on your MacBook (retina, 12 inch, early 2015) and later

  Port USB - C

  USB - C is an industry standard generation that allows to load and transfer of video data - while a simple connector. Your MacBook comes with a USB - C port:

  

  Through this port, you can:

  • Charge your MacBook.
  • Power output.
  • Transfer data between your MacBook and other devices.
  • Connect the video output such as HDMI, VGA and DisplayPort.
  • Connect to other technologies, such as Ethernet.

  Port USB - C on your MacBook supports data transfer speeds to up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1).

  USB - C for Lightning cable

  Apple USB-C for Lightning cable allows you to connect any device equipped with a connector of lightning with your MacBook. It provides data transfer and power of lighting fixtures. For example, you can use this cable to connect your MacBook to these devices:

  • iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
  • Magic Mouse 2
  • Magic keyboard
  • The Magic Trackpad 2

  You can also load these devices without using your MacBook by connecting to the C - USB to the lightning cable and plug the cable of the USB - C 29W power adapter.

  USB - C for Lightning cable supports data transfer at up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1).

  This cable requires no power to operate. However, devices that you plug into it could draw power from your MacBook, you should unplug it when you're not using it.

  If this isn't the issue, then I suggest taking your new MacBook Air and iPhone at the Apple Storewhere you bought it.  A genius can inspect your computer for you, there is no hardware problems and staff can help you set up.  Here's how Contact Apple and make an appointment.

  Take care

• My macbook pro mid-2012 is very slow. Do I need a new battery?

  Hello world

  Support on this community has helped me tremendously before so I thought I'd post again about a new problem.

  I upgraded my Mac with an SSD, which works very well, with more RAM; However, recently, it has been very slow and train, and I don't know why. RAM is not being crazy, so it must be something else.

  After reading the other posts, I'm thinking maybe I need a new battery? I mean I have 893 cycles ahah. Could someone help with this?

• MacBook Air 13 "2015 4 GB RAM enough?

  Hello AppleWorld

  I'm curious to buy my first mac, but unfortunately, the India did MBA 8 GB model,

  so I'm going to 4 GB will it be enough? Its 2 k 16, I am a DEVELOPER of the SEA and also

  draughtsman CAD actually I won't use a lot of things CAD on it

  or if I do it on Windows it will run ads? ☺ Thank you still

  I have a MacBook Air with 4 GB of RAM. I run multiple applications simultaneously without any problem, but I don't use CAD. He never runs slow no matter how many apps I opened.

  According to this site > https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-for-mac/troubleshooting/caas/sfdc articles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD-for-Mac.html#macmodel

  4 GB of RAM is recommended.

• Release of Lightroom CC 2015.6 VERY SLOW!

  Hi guys,.

  I use Lightroom CC 2015.6 contacted Camera RAW 9.6 out of 10 Pro 64 bit and I have pretty decent rig: i7 6950 X (10 carrots), Asus Radeon Strix 1080 GTX, 64 GB 3200 RAM, SSD on PCI.  'Use the graphics processor' is enabled in my preferences of LR, but I don't see an important when different it is turned off.

  First of all it takes LR about 3-4 seconds per image to build 1:1 previews, which means several hours if I have thousands of images from a shoot.

  When I try to get a glimpse of some of the images at 100%, and to quickly move between them it works fine for maybe 5 minutes and then it starts to slow down: it takes LR seconds to create each preview and also from seconds to move between images. Furthermore, the previews are 3840px in size and average quality.

  In Manager tasks I can see that at the start after start LR uses only 5-10% of my CPU resources and about 2 to 5 GB of RAM, but after a few minutes the use of RAM increases 15-20 GB and that's when LR becomes very slow. It seems he keeps each image previewed in memory and not release to the system when I close the preview.

  I also tried another software to compare and other programs were significantly faster (Aftershot Pro is the fastest, followed by DXO Optics Pro and Capture One).

  So it seems that this problem is strictly linked to the software and not to my material at all. Also, I noticed that after the recent updates, so I wonder if relling until one of the earlier versions might help.

  Ideas to improve my experience with the latest edition of LR?

  I'm really scared, because I don't really have time to wait for the software when working on thousands of images each week.

  Your response will be appreciated. Thank you!

  This is the official Adobe performance help page.
  Adobe Lightroom GPU troubleshooting and FAQ

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/KB/Lightroom-GPU-FAQ.html

  You have your system configured to save all 1:1 previews in your catalog for ever? I set mine to delete every 30 days, so I don't have all that stored somewhere in a cache with LR.

  

  Because it goes so slow down anyway I don't think you have much to lose by trying to clear your cache. But read up on it before making this decision.
  

  In addition, if your photos are stored on an external I wonder if there is a problem with this external hard drive bus speed?

  Or if it's all beings stored on your local disk with the OS and applications, maybe it's having a shape any conflict with something the OS or a partner app? Do you think these performance issues when other applications are turned off? Just think-tanking with you here because it seems to have no else responded yet.
  Hope of those is the solution.

• Very slow even with instances.

  Hi all, I am trying to compress a bunch of my own videos to save space. I have the compressor 4.2.2 on El Capitan 10.11.5, latest version of the software. My specs are:

  iMac 5K end 2015

  4 GHz Quad Core i7, hyper threaded to 8 logical cores

  32 GB of RAM

  AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4096 MB

  I export source H.264 in MPEG-4 h.264. I'm very slow sometimes, and this becomes even slower when I add an instance. Also, I edited the .plist preference file for the compressor and added more cases that I have been authorized by default because it was not maxing out my CPU. If I have 1 instance (as the compressor allows me) or 4 instances (which uses 90% of my CPU in the activity monitor), it seems much slower than the single instance. Why? My iMac is the most high-end model and a 8 logical cores, how is it unless its slow export when I use more instances? Its already very slow with just a single instance. How to speed this up?

  The Mac Pro is the most high-end model.  When transcoding to H.264 format, use not all instances.  The CPU has a built-in H.264 encoder that uses the compressor.  So bodies indicates compressor to ignore that and just do it via the encoding only software.  The speed you get is the speed you get.  Without knowing the length of your videos, what are their original format and the codex, or how long they take, I have no way of knowing if your Mac is slow or if you expect too much of him.  This information would be useful.

• After the malware problem, firefox is very slow, even though I uninstalled it twice.

  I have a malware problem. I have restored the windows and installed the Malwarebytes program. Also, I deleted the registry. After that, I send using firefox. However the mozila was very slow but not internet explore.
  Then, I uninstalled and installed mozila twice but the problem remains.

  Please try to run AdwCleaner and see if Firefox accelerates. If this does not help, try the following steps.

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

• Lenovo Ideapad Y560 very slow just after the start

  Hello!

  I have a weird problem with my laptop Ideapad Y560 (2 years). I was wondering if any of you have a similar problem and looking for a possible solution.

  As soon as I start the laptop (either), it is very slow for the first 3-4 minutes. Nothing to really works or opens, it hangs for a while and runs my entries of keyboard and mouse with a considerable delay. After this period of 3-4 minutes, it works perfectly fine, also responds well/crisp as the lappy was brand new. I can't understand why he behaves in this way.

  I almost never stop the laptop and generally just put it to sleep. However, I have this problem (as described above) if I turn on the lappy a stop or a State of sleep also. Anyone seen this before? Could someone please suggest possible solutions? Any help is very appreciated! Thank you!

• Very slow PC after installing xp sp3

  I recently installed windows xp SP3 on my PC. Once all installed began to go very very slow. I ran avast antivirus, once disabled or uninstalled the PC worked fine, so I removed and replaced by AVG 2011. The same thing is happening again. It seems to be a conflict between the installation of SP3 and both of these virus protection software.

  Does anyone have experience of this and how to fix it?

  Or someone has a suggestion of a different virus software to use?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Gordon,.

  Try the following.

  Method 1: You can check if installing Microsoft Security Essentials of AVG in place can help.
