My MacBook is running slow and freezes
My MacBook is running slow and freezes.
If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

MacBook Pro running slow and freezing--Installed OnyX
I am having problems with my MacBook Pro. For a while I was using Safari and getting the beachball A LOT. So, I switched to Chrome. For the past two days it has been running slow and freezing...when typing it would freeze and a few seconds later it would resume and the letters I typed would appear. After reading forums, I did the repair disk permissions. Nothing changed. I downloaded OnyX. After executing two tasks under cleaning..I believe System and User, it is already running better and hasn't froze once. My question is...which tasks should I perform on OnyX? I read somewhere that not all of them should be done. Like I said, I only did 2 and then stopped. I'm kind of over my head and don't want to screw anything up or do anything that doesn't need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

HT2353 Macbook Pro running slow and freezing
So it just started yesterday running slow and freezing. I'm starting to get very frustrated. I research to see what could be the problem. I saw people suggesting that it could be the storage. My storage is 464.75 free out of 499.25. I just brought this computer last year on christmas. I thought it could be adblock but it never cause me problems but I paused the app and it still doesn't work. What is wrong? Should I restart the computer? If I do how can I backup my things? Also i'm really not a computer person so if you can describe to me the problem in layman terms that'll be great!
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
OH! and it's not just safari that's going slow but itunes,word,etcHello,
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts? -

Macbook Pro running slow and freezing...please help?
Hi there everyone. I have a Macbook Pro that's a few years old and it started to experience some slowdown and freezing recently, which was even worse after installing Yosemite. It's mostly running slow on Safari but it seems that programs are freezing and taking way longer to open and close too. I'm not all that familiar with diagnosing these sorts of issues on Macs and was hopeful that someone could take a look at this for me? This is the EtreCheck report, and any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

2011 MacBook Pro Runs slow and Freezes
I have a Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 running 8 GB of RAM and it runs like a dog - freezing and crashing like a PC would - have to keep rebooting it. What is going on. Has Bill Gates poisoned the Apple?
NO - it takes forever to load finder (files and subfiles take ages to load) and most other programs and then just stays busy forever & eventually I have to force quit everything and reboot.
I ugraded to 10.7.3 this afternoon and it seems to have made a small improvement. Not much.

MacBook Pro started running slow and freezing up
Hi,
What are some things I can do when my MacBook Pro starts running slow and freezing up? For example, windows are slow to open, and that pinwheel thing keeps spinning. Clean up tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.tamyc,
You can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller;
You can try booting into Safe mode, to see whether it runs just as slowly (and freezes up) then;
You can try disabling your antivirus software, to see if that makes a difference;
You can download, install, and run EtreCheck, and include in your reply the output from an EtreCheck run, which might help identify software which should be uninstalled or updated. -
Recently started running slow and freezing up while loading web pages etc.

Computer running slow and freezes up for a few minutes from time to time, I have owned it since 2011 with no issues until now.

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
Dec 15, 2014, 09:48:45 AM Self test - passed1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the 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 act on 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.
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.
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 and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return 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 return three 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 what happened. 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.

why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -

my macbook is running slow and i wanted to know which SSD is compatible for a 2009 model macbook pro??
GitongaKuria,
several people here use Crucial, OWC and Samsung SSDs. I have a Samsung 840 PRO SATA III SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and your 2009 model and my 2010 model both have SATA II interfaces — these brands of SATA III SSDs (at minimum) work well in MacBook Pros with SATA II interfaces. In the case of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, make sure that you visit the Samsung SSD firmware page to download and install its latest firmware. -
Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes
Good Morning.
This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
Additonal information:
When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.
Help please.

That recall is not just for the Retina model:
From:
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Affected Models
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
"Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
"Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
Re:
http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. -
Arg!!! After upgrading to Snow leopard and then Lion so that I could use i Cloud, my macbook is running slower than a 1998 Dell. All my programs are freezing, it takes me minutes to change websites in my browser and I have to force quit EVERY program when I want to shut down. WTH?!? Help!
I'm experiencing increased slowness as well, but I wouldnt say my MacBook Pro is "older." I'm running a MBP with the Sandy Bridge Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR Ram, and a AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card with 1024 MB of dedicated video memory.
I've tried fixing permissions and repairing the disk, but still the computer is a lot slower than when was running Snow Leopard.
Are there any other options besides buying a only slightly faster, but newer computer? -
Mac suddenly running slow and freezing frequently after software update
Hi, first post. I have recently wiped my hard drive after my new macbook pro started crashing frequently and suddenly running slow, however, it all seemed fine for a few days until I ran the software update, and after failing because it was unable to "expand", everything started running slowly and freezing left right and center.
This is really grinding my gears, and I have been looking for solutions online for ages now, can anyone here help?coove wrote:

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care and get a case number.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
#2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
#3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
#4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years. You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. -
Hello ,
I am not very good with tech things , I have a Mac Book Pro and have had it for almost two years with no problems. Now for the past week or so it has started running extremely slow and freezing up all the time. I am not really sure what is going on but is there any advice on something to do or any idea what could be wrong.My MacBook Pro is running very slow.
