Why did my Macbook Pro got so slow after formatting and reinstalling Mavericks?

I had Mavericks a month ago, then i upgraded to Yosemite, and my computer got extremely slow, so i formatted it and reinstalled Mavericks again, i feel it's slower than the last time i used it with Mavericks, i have no idea why. i erased my hard drive and reinstalled from an external drive. Seriously i thought it was going to be faster than how i had it before since it's going to be more fresh without so many apps that i don't use often...
Is there anything that i could do?
Thanks

This is the new result i got just surfing on Safari:
This is what i got from the app EtreCheck:

HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.

My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion? Is anyone else having this issue?

If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

Macbook pro runs really slow after sleep mode

My MBP ( MacBook Pro (13-inch, medio 2012), 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB), runs very slow after sleep mode. I notice that when I wake it up, my memory usage is nearly 8 GB. After a restart it is back no a normal level, between 2 and 5 GB depending on how many programs I am running. Any ideas what causes this? My IOS is Yosemite 10.10.2
Kind regards

Hi Japib
Thanks for your reply. Here is my report:

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Macbook Pro is running slow after mavericks upgrade

Hello everyone,
I recently downloaded the last update of Mavericks on my Macbook pro (13 inch, mid 2012).
Since the upgrade, my mac has been incredibly slow... I have tried different things including: completely re downloading and installing mavericks, running the apple hardware test (both short and long tests), I have tried to fix it through resetting the macbook to factory settings. None of my attempts were successful.
The Hardware:
Mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
Running OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
2,5 GHz intel Core I5
4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
The Problem:
I updated Mavericks to its last version (10.9.4) and all of a sudden my macbook became super slow. It had no problem before, even under Mavericks, so my guess was it is a problem linked to this last version...
What I've Done Thus Far:
- Apple Hardware Tests (both long and short): All passed
- Reinstalled Mavericks
- Restoring to factory settings
Any suggestions on what do to?
Thank you!
Nathan.

MacBook Pro runs very slow after upgrade to Yosemite? Why did you turn my Mac into a Windows computer?

I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (non-retina). Now the system is incredibly slow.
1) wake-up form sleep takes up to a minute
2) Various icons will not open or respond until I have clicked on it three or four times and get the spinning beach ball (Finder, Calendar, iTunes)
3) Using Outlook for Mac app - similar issue as 2 when trying to send mail, add attachments or do anything
I am very frustrated by this upgrade. Any recommendations for speeding the system back to Mountain Lion levels?

Why is my Macbook pro now extremely slow and not running things like powerpoint any more?

I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Mavericks installed. Now my Macbook Pro is slower than a one-legged tortoise.
It won't run powerpoint, which just crashes. en my keyboard misses the first part of sentences because it can't keep up. I have to double check everything I type. I'm trying to run a business, and I'm losing time, money and the will to live.
I cannot reinstall microsoft office, as I bought my macbook Pro (2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3) from a seller who cleanly installed Mountain lion for me, and installed Office 11 on it. I do not have any installation disks. I have been forced to downgrade to Mountain Lion, which I'm still waiting for Apple to send to me.
Is there anyone out there who can give me any help. I'm not paying Apple any more money. Why should I? I've already been forced to rebuy an operating system that my Macbook previously had installed.
Not only that, I think I have an expanding battery issue, and my trackpad is now broken. Just to add to my woes.
Has anyone had a solution to solving the Mavericks debacle?
Please somebody, help.
Please.
Before I start self harming.

Hi all;
I agree with stobston, many thanks to cbs20 for your inputs. I was stuck with this one also.   I'm a former UNIX sysadmin; thanks so much for pointer to etrecheck. It's nice to be able to look under the hood.
I had the same problem, Powerpoint was so slow as to be nearly useless. Apparently different cause&effect from stobston's case. Here's what worked for me. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious below; I'm new to MacOS after many years on MS-Windows;
First, I ran etrecheck and got the following;

Note that I had no heavy CPU processes like stobston had. There are some processes using lots of memory though. Made me wonder, could it be a swap or contention issue? I have a Macbook Air, so 'swapping' doesn't mean what it used to mean. Anyway, I tried closing Excel and Finder. Powerpoint was still slow.   I ran etrechek again. WebProcess and mds are still running at the same memory usage; nearly half a gig between them. WebProcess is Safari; shutting down Safari didn't help.   I have heard that Safari has had memory leaks, I don't know if that's true or not. mds is the MetaData Server for SpotLight. I had run Spotlight several times today, and also did a lot of desktop cleanup.   That might have triggered mds.
I don't know how well Mountain Lion reclaims memory ( now I'm really getting into the weeds ), so I shut down MacOS and restarted it. This time, I started up PowerPoint first, with nothing else running. Problem solved. PPT is running fine.
Thanks again all for your inputs. An hour ago, I had no idea where to start.

Why is my Macbook Pro Running So Slow. I have the i7 2.8 GHz. I Have the Late 2011 version. I Have 4GB Of Ram. Help!

I have a 2.8 GHz Macbook Pro with 4GB of Ram and also it's the Late 2011 version. It's also a i7. ALSO IT HAS 750GB, Why is my Mac Running SLOW!!!!!!!!

Frankly, I was dissapointed when I got my MBP last year. Moving from a single core, windows laptop with 2GB of Ram and an IDE HD, I expected better performance from my new 2.2Ghz i7 quad core, 4GB RAM MBP. I got the hi-res antiglare upgrade because more screen real estate is always good. I do a bit of multimedia work so I upgraded the HD as well to the 750GB 7200 RPM option.
I fired up my new mac, downloaded updates, loaded up my software and was off to fresh new beginnings. During the first week I started seeing the "spinning umbrella" Even during simple tasks. With only a few apps open the system was sluggish. Even the dock would jitter. Being a bit tech savy I opened up the activity monitor and saw that the system was running low on RAM. Who would have thought that 4GB of RAM would not be enough? My previous machine had 2GB of RAM and did the same tasks quite reasonably. Anyone would have concluded that a machine with double that would perform better. Aparrently not. At least not this MBP. I was so upset because I just spent about 2000 USD for the "best laptop we've build to date" WITH UPGRADES! and I'm going to have to spend more to upgrade the RAM.
Anyway I upgraded to 8GB of RAM and runs reall really smooth now.
My suggestion if your MBP is running slow, is to upgrade your RAM to 8GB or more. Check out the guys at Other World Computing, they have lots of upgrades for macs.
Here is a link http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade
The hard truth cut through all the marketing and hit me. I'll say it this way; a computer is a computer, is a computer. Forget all the hype. With the same specs, a mac gives just sbout the same performance as a PC. That said, I really love my MBP(now that I have 8GB of RAM). This mac gives me the best computing experience I have ever had. Apple really shines in their User interface and user experience. I really love the gestures and hot corners, and mission control. I usually have a lot of apps open the same time, so those features really help in switching between my apps.
I'm going to further upgrade my RAM to 16GB and upgrade the HDD to an SSD pretty soon. I want my machine to be really snappy.
I hope this was helpful.

Why is my Macbook Pro running so slow when returning from sleep mode?

I got my new Macbook this past Christmas so it is about two months old. I have the 13" Macbook with the standard 4GB of RAM (not sure if that matters), but when I got my mac I downloaded a bunch of games and such which may have slowed it down initially, though I have downloaded OnyX and Appzapper to uninstall apps and clean my computer. Also I have deleted EVERYTHING from "Login Items" which I thought might help. Basically whenever I am done using my computer I just shut the screen, I don't shut it down or actually click "Sleep Mode" so I'm not sure if shutting the screen puts it in "Sleep Mode," but whenever I open my computer back up I get that spinning loading icon when I click on anything on my desktop and it usually takes 5-10 minutes of this super slow loading before I can actually use my computer. Not sure what the deal is but it is clearly super annoying and I'm hoping to find out how to get around this. I have six 2GB sticks of RAM that I am hoping to trade for two 4GB sticks of RAM to speed up my computer but I am not sure if that would even fix my problem. This is my first Macbook, besides my mothers Mac desktop that I have been using for years throughout High School, but I am a windows guy. I consider myself pretty good with computers, not an expert but I can fix 95% of the problems I encounter, but this one has been stumping me! Thanks a million in advance!

Hello Linc -
I hope you don't mind but I have a similar issue. Might I be able to enlist your assistance with this issue? I've done as you said, and I have copied the approximate range of messages during my most recent incident. What I'm noticing is that my Mac is staying busy even while asleep. I'm concerned about this behavior, hoping you might be able to help debug the situation and set me on a good path to resolution.
Here's my data (I don't know for certain that I grabbed the proper amount or range of data, but hoping this will help):

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow?

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in September 2012, and it has been running absolutely fine until last week. I left it on for an hour while I went out, and when I came back it was suddenly running really slow (couldn't get rid of the spinning beach ball of death). I thought maybe it was because it needed updating, so I attempted to do this. However, it didn't do it properly. Not quite sure what happened but then it wouldn't even get past the startup screen. I know it's my own stupid fault that all this has happened, I kept ignoring the 'updates available' banner. Anyway, I googled what to do and got so impatient, I tried resetting the PRAM, verifying disk permissions, fsck, checked activity monitor etc. Nothing was wrong or out of the ordinary. I reinstalled OS X, took 24 hours but for some reason still wasn't working. So I tried it again, still didn't fix it and was stuck on the startup screen. Not quite sure what happened but then it eventually came on, although sadly somewhere along the way I had completely wiped my hard drive. Again, I was stupid for not backing up my data, and should have just left everything to the experts rather than being so impatient. After all of that, I've installed mavericks but it is still no better. It is just as slow as when it first started playing up, although at least it is actually functioning on some level now. I've accepted that I'm never getting my data back (unless anyone can tell me if there's a way?), but I'm baffled as to why it still isn't working properly, and I have lost everything for no reason. Please can someone help me as I am ready for throwing my laptop at someone or something.

chunk1234,
if your lost data is of considerable value to you, then you could try hiring a data recovery service, but their time is expensive. If you wish to go down that route, cleanly shut down your MacBook Pro, and don’t turn it on again until after the data recovery service has returned it to you — every time you do something on your hard drive, you make it more difficult for data recovery to succeed.
You might want to buy an external hard drive for use as a Time Machine backup destination, so that this situation doesn’t happen again — restoring from your last backup is far, far cheaper than hiring a data recovery service.
Regarding your current slowdown, have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

Why did my Macbook Pro got so slow after formatting and reinstalling Mavericks?
