Help! Why is my computer so SLOW??!!!

I have an imac, a little over 2 years old. i have never had a problem with it up until i upgraded to Leopard (AKA worst OS EVER!). At first everything ran smoothly, as time goes on it gets slower and slower. Half the time my applications run so slow they crash. This isn't just with one app, it's with EVERYTHING (mail, safari, even just clicking on the HD takes forever) It took me forever just to get on this site to post, i had to force quit safari and start over.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to get things to run more smoothly? Please please please, i would be thankful for any help!
(I would like to try and avoid taking it in, our apple store's overpriced service *****)

Hi,
The activity monitor is a nice little utility that is located in applications -> utilities. After you start this you will be able to see all of the programs that are running and may be surprised by what is there. You can see if there are any old PowerPC programs that are still present as well as the memory and CPU usage that each program garners. Below the list of programs are a series of buttons labeled CPU, System Memory etc. These will show you overall performance of these systems.

You need to purchase and install more RAM into your iMac.
Your IMac year and model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM Max.
Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).
OWC only has the 6 GB RAM kit here.

Ditch ALL Googlewares. They are ALL a serious resource hogs on the OS X system.
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95319?hl=en
If you do not like Apple's Safari web browser, download, install and try Mozilla FireFox, instead.
The current, up-to-date version of FireFox is fully compatible with OS X and is regularly updated by the great developers of the Mozilla group.
I have, also, stopped using the Google search engine regularly (due to Google's privacy policies or lack thereof) and I now use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.
Good Luck!

Why is my computer running slow since upgrading to os x yosemite?

I upgraded my MacBook 13" Aluminum (2008) to OS X Yosemite earlier this year, and ever since, my computer has not been as fast as it was on OS X Mountain Lion or before. It ran fine then, but my speed has fallen harshly. Is there a way to make my computer operate faster?

Unless you've added RAM since you bought the computer, you could probably increase the performance by adding RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Why is my computer running slower after upgrading to Maverick?

So my computer seems to be running slower, doing anything at all after I installed the newest OS, Maverick. Anyone have an idea as to why that might be? What can I do to make it better?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I found this other discussion below. Thanks.

Why is my computer now slower than when I had leopard

I have 10.6.1 and macbook pro 2.4 GHz 500 GB 7200rpm hard drive and now my computer is slower, sluggish with applications, WORD 2008, Endnote X2, Powerpoint, PRIMSM 5.0b, etc,etc. I installed twice now. It was super fast when I had 10.5.8.
SL is NOT faster, it is not smoother. Is there a way to get refunded for this purchase? I also would like to replace SL with Leopard 10.5. Does Apple offer an exchange?
Please help

If you want to go back to Leopard, and assuming your don’t have a clone, a complete TM backup, etc., then you will need to do an erase and install. I would first try the Leopard (i.e., 10.5) DVD. But, you may have to use the Snow Leopard (i.e., 10.6) DVD for the erase part. Let's assume the first for now. Startup from the DVD by holding down c when starting up. Next, when able, choose your language and stop. Then, using the menus at the top, select Disk Utility and erase you drive. Next, quit Disk Utility and continue the install. After the install is complete, insert your Leopard applications disk and install the programs you want. Now, you are done except for restoring you data, apps, and settings using whatever media are available to you.
In the other case, you will have to exit the installer after exiting Disk Utility. Next, you would startup with your Leopard DVD again by holding c down during startup. Now, after selecting your language again, just click install. After the installer is finished, install your applications as above.

Why is my computer so slow

my computer is a macbook pro with snow leopard installed, it has just recently become slow. what could have done this?

Have a read here http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html
Stefan

Why does my computer run slower now with OS X Mavericks?

I installed OS X Mavericks on my Mac, which is an older MacBook, and now it runs much slower and I have to Force Quite just about everytime I want to downloard something. Needless to say, I am frustrated!! Now when it boots up, the last web site I was on is fron and centre! I don't get my home page. What can I do to speed this thing up and make it run the way it did before this installation! I thought it was suppose to be better!

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clickinganywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may offer you advice based on the output of the script. They speak only for themselves and I don't necessarily agree with their views.

Why is my computer now slower, with Firefox 4, then it was with previous version? It stops and crashes constantly. How can I go back to the previous version?

When I am on Facebook or playing a game, it will freeze and I have to hit control alt delete, to get any response. Within a couple more seconds the same problem occurs. I did not have this problem with the previous version.

I tried so hard with FF4 but no deal. It was considerably MUCH slower than 3.6. Every page just had a 2~3 second wait before it loaded up. This was tested on a brand new Windows 7 64-bit install machine too.
Flash ran much more cpu intensive as well. I played many flash based games in 3.6 and my cpu usage was never always as it was with FF4 in the 90%-100% range.
I had to get rid of it due to the slowness and the lack of older plugin support: ANYCOLOR which I must run and cannot stand the light colored menu pop ups. Also the buttons in FF4 are worse than 3.6. You can't see them when you have a persona applied.
Staying with 3.6 until 4 speeds up or will give 4.1 a try.

Why is my computer so slow after update??

I updated my moutain lion software earlier this week and ever since my mac book pro has been EXTREMELY slow! Any tips on how to fix this??

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Why is my computer a slower responder?

Hey, I went to filmschool earlier this year, and even my instructors little old G4 laptop was faster with FCP than my Dual 2.7 GHz G5, what's up with that?
Thanks for the help.

First check the FCP version on both mac,
And check how much ram did on the Powerbook and your mac.
And check if you and your instructors using the same resolution for the project or not, for sometimes instructor use lower resolution video file and short one just to served the demo purpose only, and not broadcast quality.
And compare your installation and scratch disk destination with your instructor settings.
Good Luck.

Why does my computer run slower with Aperture installed

I installed Aperture on my MacBook Pro and now it runs slow when the program is open.

Nikon,
Aperture does lots of background processing after you first install it. It is likely that Aperture is performing some of this processing as soon as you open it now. You can get a good feeling for what it is doing if you show the Activity with {Command}-{Shift}-0.
You may have to let Aperture crunch away for hours or even overnight before it is done.

Why is my computer unbelievably slow after getting the top case replaced?

I got it replaced recently as the keyboard and trackpad didn't work and now it's the rainbow wheel of death if I'm lucky, or just freezes. Either way, I have to restart with the power button in the corner at least once an hour. I know I have had it for years, but it's worked perfect (until I spilled tea on my keyboard and that and the left side of the trackpad broke) and even then, it was still as fast as can be, even though only the right clicker on the trackpad worked. It took fifteen minutes to just load this page and type (it kept freezing/jamming). Not only the price was double what it was supposed to be for some reason, but now this. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Take it back to where it was repaired and let them fix it.

Help! Why is my computer so SLOW??!!!
