Macbook pro slow after yosemite 10.10 update

I updated my Mac book pro 2010 from mavericks to yosemite. And now it is so slow it will take 20 minutes just to turn on to the login menu. If i turn the laptop off for a couple of hours it seems to speed up a bit but then after 30 minutes or so it will start to freeze and take forever to load. Please help.

I would get rid of uTorrent because you can download all sorts of malware using it. Also try taking Chrome out of your login items as it tends to be a resource hog.

The report show many hard drive errors. Did you run Disk Utiltiy from your recovery partition before upgrading the OS? Always a good action. You can run Disk Utility now while booted from your Recovery partition (press and hold command-r while booting) and see it it can repair the issues.
You hard drive is not full enough yet to cause major slowdowns but you need to keep and eye on it and make sure it does not get any more full. You have 53GB (about 10 percent) free space now. You should make sure you don't go below about 20GB. If your physical RAM fills up, Virtual Memory must find qualifying blocks on the hard drive to write swap data and, when teh drive gets crowded, VM's search process slows as does yo uoverapll performance.
You have LOT of third-party stuff installed. "NoSleep" sounds like it could be modifying system resources; see if disabling it helps.

Is it failing to Restart, or failing once it restart?

2012 Macbook pro Slow after final Yosemite upgrade

I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 13" with 8gb Ram and 256gb Samsung SSD (Upgraded from the stock apple 128gb SSD). During Mavericks and the whole Yosemite Beta (1-6), my Mac has been running really smoothly and quick. After the public release of Yosemite, it is now super slow. Everything takes 45 seconds to do (like opening something). I took it to the Apple store today and they said it was an early hard drive failure. We did the test and it appears to be a SMART (S.M.A.R.T.) hard drive failure. They offered to put a new 128gb Apple SSD for $450 + service fees. (Why would I ever even think about doing that?!?! That is outrageously high!)
I looked online and I am not the first to experience this problem. I saw at least 8 people that got the SMART hard drive failure after they upgraded to Yosemite. I have a funny feeling that Yosemite is doing something to cause this problem. We can't all just randomly get this hard drive error after upgrading, can we? Seems more unlikely than not.
I know that SMART is non OS specific. I know that a SMART failure can become bad and I can lose all my data. I am just wondering if this is REALLY the issue. Anyone else experience the same thing? Is there a way to bypass SMART? I can't wait 2 weeks to warranty the SSD. I am a college student and I use this all day every day, and I have important stuff on here (which yes, I have backed up).
I am under warranty. I can go and return and get a replacement drive, but I would much much much rather not. I have also disabled File Vault.
So to sum up: Can I get around this feature? Can I do something other than replace this? Anyone else experience this? When is the next version of Yosemite coming out?

Get rid of Kapersky unless you enjoy having a 2014 computer that runs like and old DOS Machine from the 80s.

Macbook pro slow after shockwave update

Macbook pro slow after update...

I did a clean install on my macbook pro 2010 using snow leopard. After i updated it to 10.6.8, it started lagging, whats the solution to this problem other than doing another clean install and not updating it?

Have you downloaded any software since installing 10.6? I've seen similar performance issues where someone downloaded the wrong level of program which installed a wrong level of driver. Check on the System Prefences pane and the bottom and under your login ID, any login items.
You can easily check if that's the issue by booting into safe mode (hold shift key down when booting). The boot itself will take longer than normal, because it does some disk maintenance. After it completes, see what response times are like.

Macbook Pro slow on Yosemite?

I have noticed that my macbook pro (mid 2012) is running quite slow after updating to yosemite. when i on the computer, a bar appears and takes ages to start up. apps bounce in the dock for ages, and when i unfold it, the time it takes to wake is somewhat slow as well. is there any way i can improve on the device's performance? i have not done any damage to my computer like dropping it or anything like that.

Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
Then try a safe boot:

Any improvement?

Macbook Pro slow after Maverick's install

My Macbook Pro is painfully slow after Maverick update last week. HELP

gramacindy,
yes, thank you. Insufficient disk space is not the cause of the slowdown. Depending upon which apps you typically run, you might benefit from upgrading its RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB — but whether that upgrade would help depends upon other factors.
If you boot into Safe mode, log in, and immediately restart into normal mode, is your MacBook Pro still painfully slow? If it is, download and install EtreCheck, and please include in your reply a copy of the output generated by a run of EtreCheck.

MacBook Pro Slow after upgrading OS

Hey guys, I'm having a problem my MacBook Pro is running incredibly slow after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I started having the problem originally after upgrading to the latest version of Mavericks. It is just incredibly slow for some reason, things are lagging upwards of 2-3 minutes I got sick and tired of it so I installed a brand new 120 GB SSD from PNY, and installed Snow Leopard because that's what originally came with the computer, I figured it'd work best. When I installed the 10.6.3 disk everything absolutely FLEW! Then after I upgraded to 10.6.8 it is like frozen molasses and I don't know why. It's a fresh install and doesn't have anything going. However when I open up the Activity Monitor it says that my CPU Usage is being ate up by system processes and I don't know what to do. I also started it up in Safe Mode and it works just fine like that. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I've got a Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.66 GHz Intel Cor 2 Duo and 4 GB ram. I upgraded my HD to a 120 GB PNY SSD.

And make sure there's enough free storage space.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.
Make sure your Mac's software is up to date. Click Software Update from your Apple  drop down menu.
Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility located in your Applications > Utilities folder.
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Repair Disk Permissions
This can take awhile so don't be alarmed.
Restart your Mac after Disk Utility is finished
Reindex Spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, start up from your Mac install disc to make repairs.

Macbook pro die after 10.6.5 update

The last week i update my macbook pro (2008) with 10.6.5 and my laptop die. Now when i try to turn on my computer it lose the power after 3 secods and it turn of. I can not boot from devices, i can see nothing in the display, my adapter and battery are ok.
I belive the 10.6.5 damage the smc and now i can not update the firmware. i can not reset smc. I was try all. Somebody help me.

That's a lot to go thru!
For the future, I would recommend buying DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way. But sometimes a badly damaged system can be deemed unrepairable by the installed version, but if booted and repaired from the DW disk it may still be repairable. This has happened to me.
I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. DW has repaired every big and little issue I've had on all three of my Macs.

Macbook Pro lags after Yosemite upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro (8gb, Jan 13) to Yosemite yesterday....
Since the upgrade it is painfully slow and sluggish. It takes ages to boot up. Once finally booted up everything lags. I see the coloured pinwheel permanently.
I tried running the internet but it's impossible to move around and type. It freezes constantly. text has to catch up with my typing.
I have tried all the tweaks and scans I can find and even reinstalled it. Nothing has changed. I am hardwired to the web so wireless is not an issue, but I did turn off bluetooth etc as advised.
I am at the point where I will need to go to recovery and revert back to its original purchased state!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am desperate to get back to a machine that works!

Hi ..
Since boot time is slow open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Remove all items listed there. Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Restart your Mac to monitor boot time.
And make sure there's enough avaiable disk space. Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Check the hard drive.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X.
As far as the internet is concerned, if you are using Safari, try the following:
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Macbook Pro slow after Mavericks Install

Hi all, new here . I have a problem with my 2012 Macbook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3, OSX 10.9.5). I originally had Lion installed on it... never bothered to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but about 2 months back I upgraded to Mavericks.
I don't use heavy programs like Photoshop or iMovie; mostly just browsing, email, videos etc. but I may have multiple programs open at the same time. I've never had a problem with Lion.
Now after upgrading to Mavericks, I noticed a distinct slow down. Not super slow... but slow enough that programs would take 5-8 seconds to open. Like Microsoft word, or a second window of Chrome, or Activity Monitor. Never had this lag on Lion.
I've researched upgrading RAM, but I wanted to get your fine folks opinion first on what it could be. Any ideas?

Hi PacNorWest,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If your Mac is running slowly in Mavericks, I would recommend using the information in the attached article to help alleviate the issue.

You don't have enough RAM for all the software you are running. Quit all the applications. Remove everything in Login Items. Restart the computer. Try running as little as possible until you upgrade to 8 GBs of RAM.
