Slow Application launch time

I have a 13 inch MacBook (mid-2012) bought in 2014. 2.5 Intel Core i5 to GHz, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

Operating system: OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

I have known launch of the application slow times, ranging from 15 seconds to launch iWork applications, 20 seconds to launch Chrome and iTunes and up to 50 seconds to launch Microsoft Office applications (2013). Once the applications are running for a few minutes, they work quickly and without problem.

I tried a few options of troubleshooting for general slowness of mac, but they have not improved launch time:

  • Updated all the software
  • Moved old documents to an external hard drive and erased from the laptop
  • Started in mode 'safe' and attempts to launch slow applications
  • Run 'First aid' disk utility
  • Cleared the cache of bookstores
  • Removed the unnecessary plugins of Chrome & Safari.

This could be the cause of slow launch times and how can I solve this problem?

Could be an application such as an antivirus by using memory resources program in the background. You can open the activity monitory and see if something is using too much memory.  Or download and run EtreCheck and post here.   http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • Slow application

    Hello

    I have the problem with one of my request. When I access requests, his talk to a lot of time to react.
    How can I solve this problem and this is the issue of the production. What should I do first to bad response is

    Can you tell me the audit resources please


    Thank you
    Deep

    There is very less information to suggest where to start from. There could be reasons for the application to be slow: -.
    1. not enough Heap size... GC pauses longer and causing slow application.
    -Active GC for further investigation. (Not so easy to do in production systems)
    -You can monitor the use of the bunch of the administration console.

    2 resource conflicts.
    -Take thread dumps while you see the slowness of the application. There might be some contention son resources / blocked causing the slowness.
    -In production systems give a break of at least 10 seconds or more between the thread dumps because it can cause high CPU usage. Collect at least 5 such thread
    landfills.

    3. check the newspaper for all the reported errors that might give you the clue.

    4 and other reasons... (Issues of database / network issues etc.)
    I suggest you to contact support because it is the issue of the production.

  • I2C communication slows down over time using USB-8451

    Hi all!

    I try to communicate via a device slave using a USB-8451 I2C and I noticed that after a while the communication speed slows way.

    I can send and receive data very well and apparently my system seems to work. But the problem is that over time the speed of data transfer slows down so much so that if I let it run all night it has slowed to a crawl in the morning. My ultimate goal is to gather data, draw and save every second and at the beginning it is easily achievable, but after 10-15 hours I can no longer collect data as fast I need. I'm not quite sure if this is a problem with my code LabVIEW, the NI USB-8451 box or the slave device. But if I stop running the LabVIEW program and start it again, everything returns to normal.

    The slave device is a personalized card with a microchip PIC which acts as a slave I2C and returns the data at the request of the master. I can't imagine anyone will be able to determine if this is a problem directly, but if we can rule out the other two (code LabVIEW or the NOR-8451) as the source of the problem so I know it's my slave device.

    I've greatly simplified the LabVIEW code that I used to collect data on I2C and I see even this gradual slowing down over time. Attached, it's that the very simplified VI and the data file, it produced. I only ran it for about 45 minutes, but from the beginning to the end we see again that the enforcement timeframe is rising.

    I hope I'm just doing something stupid, thanks in advance!

    -Aaron

    Aaron,

    Do not have the additional module responsible for these functions, but I'm sure I know whats going on.  It seems that each time through the loop 'OR-845 x I2C Create Configuration Reference.vi' creates a new reference.  After a while it will start to slow things down.  Better to open the reference before the while loop starts and spend just the reference in the loop.  Don't forget to close the reference after the loop stops.

  • Java 7 u45 Web Start application launches

    I maintain an Eclipse RCP application launched with WebStart. Java 7 u45 made some security changes, and now my application crashes at startup.

    I added to the manifest:

    Permissions: permissions everything

    CodeBase: *.

    Trust-library: true

    This removed all the control panel warning messages. But I still have a problem of class loader when you try to load the first required class in my pot.  It's new to update 45. To add to the complication, my application using Eclipse RCP, so the classloading is through OSGi.

    I had the same problem with an older application (RCP based on Eclipse 3.2.2). After adding permissions, Trusted-library and name of the Application to all the jars of the disappeared of the warnings of additional security, but we still had "java.lang.RuntimeException: no id of the application has been found." in the journal and the app would send strange http requests to the server to request a "config.ini".

    I found the solution for this only today, the problem is that 7u45 will transport you not "precarious" to the application properties unless the JNLP is signed, so the OSGi framework did not get its bundle-list, instance-zone and a bunch of other things.

    Signature the JNLP was not possible for us because the JNLP is generated dynamically and change of properties for each deployment, using a model of JNLP is also not good because you can use wildcard characters in the properties there.

    Properties 'Precarious' can be transformed into "secure" by putting "jnlp." at the beginning of the name so I added this prefix for all our possessions and wrote a small wrapper that removes again and then calls the main of the previous main class.

    If you use properties in your JNLP that could be your problem as well.

  • Older applications launch Services database

    I have a problem with older applications, which are not yet on my machine, appear when I right-click on a file and choose "open with...". ». From what I can tell that this list is what we call the launch Services database. I can clean with Clean My Mac 3 to rebuild the database, but in a day or so old applications (which as I have said, are not yet installed more) appear again.

    It became a real problem about a week ago when Adobe Lightroom couldn't run Photoshop - I kept getting a weird error message. I posted the problem on several juries of Photoshop which resulted in my uninstall and reinstall several times, until I hit on the idea of rebuild launch services database. That fixed it for a while, but the old version of Photoshop crept into the launch services database and I could no longer run Photoshop of in Lightroom. I did Clean My Mac 3 reconstruction and it has cleared up, but I really want to solve this problem once and for all.

    Don't use software such as "clean my mac"...

    Only uninstall completely.

    The launch services database can be erased with a small Terminal command, you don't need additional software to do this - and beware of any program that wants to 'clean up' or 'protect' your mac, as it is likely to more damage than any good. Some are outright scams.

    If you need a reputable software to adjust the settings not available and to avoid dealing with the Terminal, try Onyx. Free, was there for many years, quickly updated and from a reputable developer.

    Or triple - click the following line (it's a very long single line) to select it, copy and paste into a Terminal window, press ENTER to execute the command.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
  • Why laptops is going slower at the time?

    I have a few laptops, some are more recent, some are old, some are stronger, some weaker. But I have a feeling that each of them become slower time. And I ask: what's happening?

    Because of updates to Windows systems? They get heavier? Or is it something wrong with the hardware of the laptops? For example, I have an Acer with 256 RAM, and when I bought it, it worked fine with the system and applications. Now, I can hardly run fresh restore of the system on this computer, some applications and it practically does not work...

    It is the same with two Toshibas I. One is 512, one is 1 G, it was quite a lot for XP a few years before, now they work, but they become significantly slower... I don't think it's just a feeling, so, maybe someone can explain to me what's not here?

    PS.
    Sorry for my English, please correct me in my errors, to help me improve the language :)

    Hi mate

    Computer laptop don t GET slower

    First of all laptops are different from desktop PC.
    The laptop uses additional features such as command buttons, the buttons fn, a kind of other features like gesture control, etc.
    There are a lot of processes running in the background all the time and material resources of the waste

    In addition the new software and applications needs more material resources these software are not comparable with other applications developed 10 years ago

    Finally, and especially the slower gets installed OS because of the trash and debris on the HARD drive
    During the use of the system you will be updated recessive, would be installed tools and other utilities that modify the registry. This affects the performance of the system, thus

    If slimily said there are many factors that can affect the performance of the system, and it's nothing unusual

    You can use a cleaner system called CCLeaner. It s for free. I also use it.
    In addition, you should defragment the HARD drive once in a while it helps too

  • Slow pre-launch sequence on end of 2013 rMBP13

    Hi guys, I tried to understand this problem of slow boot for about a year and a half now, and I can not pin down what is the problem or how to fix this reliably.

    I have an end of 2013 rMBP 13 running El Capitan (although the problem existed in Yosemite as well, but I don't remember what happens in the Mavericks) and 10 Windows in bootcamp (it used to run windows 8, but then the slow start came with it as well). I don't remember exactly when this happened first, but it was about half a year or so after Yosemite was released. I was running Yosemite and windows 8 in bootcamp without problem before and Maverick and the same installation of windows 8 before a year very well.

    The problem:

    The laptop appear to have a slow sequence of pre-launch. I press the power button, hear the Apple chime, then wait about 20 to 25 seconds until the apple logo on the white black screen or selection of start up, screen am I holder of options. After the apple logo or the boot selection screen, it starts normally in less than 5 seconds on the desktop. All the following which works perfectly well without notable accidents and slowdowns during normal use. Also never actually, it fails to start or give any error message.

    The delay seems to also occur before the computer records the NVRAM reset - I must press Cmd/Opt/P/R for about 20 seconds before the screen backlight turns off, the computer restarts with a second chime.

    The biggest problem is I switch between OSX and Bootcamp quite often, and I need to sit near the computer and hold the option key for nearly half a minute each time when I do that... Otherwise everything else works as expected.

    Things I've tried:

    Reset NVRAM - I think it would work once a large earlier. Right now reset which does nothing for the boot time.

    Select volume OSX in the startup disk - I tried this time OSX recovery and even in the recovery of the internet. This used to work once or twice sporatically, but no longer works. I also tried setting Bootcamp partition as the starting volume, and it still does not work.

    Reset SMC - never done any good.

    Wipe the disk and reinstall - it's been a while since I've done it, but I remember that it worked fine when OSX is the only volume, but when I install bootcamp and then try to select OS x as the default volume, he is still confused and slow down during pre-launch.

    Repair of permissions of the drive and stuff - has never done any good.

    Wiping Bootcamp - worked at least once, but as soon as I reinstall it and boot in there and back, the same problem occurs.

    The changing property and rebuild kextcache-

    sudo chown root: admin /.

    sudo kextcache-system-pre-bound-kernel

    sudo kextcache-system-caches

    It was the last thing I tried with success. I have done this in the terminal about 3 months ago and restarted. Apple logo appeared in the 5 seconds of power and I was super excited. But then I started in bootcamp and returned and the pre-launch was always again. Now it is once again not even speed up the first reboot.

    Any idea guys? I feel as if it were an EFI problem where laptop computer confused at where to start from and he concludes then somehow in 20 seconds. But if that were the case why not selecting disk start not fix it? Also why it not immediately save the NVRAM reset?

    I don't know if you still have this issue, but I think I could have solved on my rMBP after finding http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/209-69-windows-bootcamp-black-screen-blinking-curseur-Age-boot(not without first OS X repartitioning and by performing a clean installation, which now seems as if was not necessary).

    I had to get Windows Recovery mode.  F8 does not seem to work with boot camp to the to do, I started Windows and held down the power button to interrupt the boot sequence, after that 2 - 3 times it would show "Please Wait" instead of the usual circle of points (10 Windows).  Otherwise you can use the Windows installation media, but I had only one practice ISO file I installed via boot camp assistant.

    Open the command (under Advanced Recovery).  Enter the following command:

    Bootrec.exe /FixMbr

    Bootrec.exe /FixBoot

    Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

    From there I could reboot and there was no delay start in Windows.  In now option button to select the startup disk also didn't cause any delay and was admissible.  I started to OS X and selected my OS X disk as the startup disk, restarted several times and did not have questions that I would have usually experienced.

    My guess is that it may have been caused by a recent update of Windows 10.

    Hello

    It is not easy to give you a proper answer to that kind of question because we don't know how to use this device is installed and configured. Everything that you already made, it is good, but you can try to check the Task Manager and all running processes. It is possible that some processes running in the background, slow performance of the unit as an anti-virus program.

  • Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

    Hi all

    I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

    THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

    Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

    Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
    However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

    DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

    HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
    I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

    Any ideas more how to debug this?

    Thank you

    > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
    It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

    I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

    So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
    Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

    I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
    I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background
