MBP is very slow, much beachball, up to date OS
This 15" MBP is 4 years old, has been slow for about two years. Genius at Apple store in Chicago no help. Why is the cause of this so hard to find?
Is this a case of programs interfering with each other, "or something"?
The hard drive has 40 GB free. Should I get a SSD?

I've never used a Mac before, recently i purchased a MBP13" which came loaded with LION OS by default. I upgraded the OS to OS10.7.2 when prompted. Now after the upgrade, my MBP feels very slow - specially when typing emails !! What is the solution ??
After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

MBP working very slow, rarely displays working wheel
Hi guys,
My MBP is working very slow.
I have taken off AVG, and in my user account I've stopped Soundflower from launching automatically. This seemed to help for a few days, then it's back to dragging.
I used Etre; but don't know the items mean...
Thanks so much in Advance.

Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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 test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. 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 test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

MBP running very slow since Mavericks upgrade - etrecheck included
I've read through a number of answers, but still having the same problem. Since upgrading to Mavericks in October, my MBP has been slow. Ot goes through periods of being OK, but recently perfomance has degraded again. Any suggestions more than welcome - I feel like I'm running Windows 95 on a Pentium machine...

I have the MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.33Ghz C2D, 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD. Nice huh! Well over the past couple of days its been running like a dog!
Safari cashes all the time, Mail crashes all the time. Photoshop sometimes will not open, dreamweaver wont open at all!
Any ideas what could cause this and any suggestions for things to check???Have you tried repairing permissions in the Disk Utilities app?
EDIT: You may also need to let the chron scripts run if you consistently shut down vs. sleeping. You can use Onyx or Yasu (etc) to run these scripts outside of a schedule. You can find these apps by searching for them at www.versiontracker.com.

2007 iMac runs slow with beachball
just updated from snow leopard to yosemite. IMac now is very slow and beachball spins constantly. iPhoto was very slow before but will now not run. Has 2 x 1 gb of ram but these are both nearly full. If I upgrade them for 2 gb each will that solve problem or is it something more sinister?
I must say that I had the same problem before but not as much
Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac recently? Or installed any antivirus software? They can mess up things big time.
Download the free MacTracker application to see how much memory your model can use. Some models can use 6 GB when Apple only will certify 4 GB because they haven't tested it with that amount. Some suppliers have. Crucial.com is a very reputable supplier of Mac RAM. -
In 10.7.5, Safari 6.05 very slow, crashes often. How can I reinstall?
Should I reinstall Safari? Mac OS 10.7.5, Safari 6.05. Safari freezes, crashes, or is very slow much of the time. This is becoming an increasing problem. Firefox works fine. I have a highspeed cable connection. Any help much appeciated.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
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.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

We are using BO XI3.0 on a Windows server with an oracle database on a unix platform.
We have build severall dashboard for data analysis, each one with "interactive metric trend" and multidimensional queries analysis.
We found Infoview very slow to display the performance data and also to run and get the multidimensional queries data. Keep in mind that the DB is not big (less than 100 K of row)
The users are using windows Internet Explorer version 6 for accessing Infoview.
Are there any requirements on the client site such as required RAM or specific version of Java ?
Is there any tool for analysing the infoview performance ?
Thank you.Can you try increasing you Client Side java virtual memory by setting up following variable.
JAVA_OPTS = -Xmx512m
Also, Check your server performance, It should have enough space on the drive on which BO is installed, also do check memory, you can shutdown unrequired servers, like Dashboard,PM,Desktop INtelligence, Crystal Reports, if you are not going to use it.

im new to mac book...in the start few weeks mac book was very fine i love it...but as time passed its getting slower & slower.what should i do.it has updated software MAC OS X 10.7.4 but still very slow.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
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.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
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?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. 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.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt Adaptor is very slow on new MBP
I have new mbp 13" md101 and Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt Adaptor + seagate go flex 1TB, and speed is only 16mb/s tested with black magic and 13GB files copy. I did software update too, but the result is same, Whats wrong with this new MBP ?
Just in case someone else comes across this… The reason you're seeing slow speeds with a thunderbolt adapter is that you have formatted your disk with NTFS. Macintosh computers cannot recognize this format natively but you can use NTFS for Mac (http://www.paragon-software.com) which will allow you to use the disc with both platforms. I did this and found no benefits whatsoever. It is MUCH better to dedicate a USB 2 or USB 3 external drive for windows use only. I formatted a 1.5 TB drive with NTFS then installed the NTFS for Mac software. The drive worked fine HOWEVER, when you do a search with the Mac to find a file or something it cannot search the NTFS drive. So basically, anything you place on the NTFS drive from your Macintosh you will be unable to find when searching. That's a big deal! The other limitation I found was using the drive on my new Seagate thunderbolt adapter. Unless you're booted natively in to Windows on your Macintosh, Windows cannot see the drive. Secondly and very important of course, it's very very slow. It took forever to copy the information I had stored on the drive to other drives… Reformat and use the drive as a Mac external. The data transfer is ridiculously slow and reformatting the drive from NTFS back to Mac OS extended journaled also took a very long time.
To summarize, formatting a drive with NTFS so that you can use it for both Windows and Mac sounds like a great idea but in reality it's not so great unless you're okay with slow speeds and the inability to search the drive with the Mac. -
Very slow wirelesss when using iPhone 4S' personal hotspot for a MacBook Pro (MBP)...
Hello.
Last night, I was helping a client with his old iPhone 4S' personal hotspot as shown in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4517 web page. It uses Verizon Wireless 3G for his 4 GB data cellular connection. We got the wireless (WPA2) connection to work fine, but it was very slow like crappy dial-up modem speeds. Is this normal? iPhone's iOS v8.1.2's top screen says 1X (is this a speed number?) and left of MBP. Updated Mac OS X 10.8.5's top screen shows an infinite(?) symbol instead of that wifi arc symbol.
Thank you in advance.yes, 1x is a speed indicator, and it is very slow. Even with 3g speeds, hotspot will be pretty slow, but still ok for simple surfing and emails and such, streaming not so much. For hotspot, you really kinda want to have at least 4g, preferably LTE.
About that 1x speed, you may want to see if you get that everywhere or just in that location. Ideally, in a good coverage area, you should not be getting such slow speeds. Might have something to do with the building you are in though. If you get the same outdoors, and your coverage area is good, you may want to call in and have someone troubleshoot your signal. -
