Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • Mail problems, slow browsing and Facebook problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hi !
    I have a 27” iMac from late 2009 which started acting really strange after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Before that everything works fine but now Mail does not work, will not send replies or add attachments and browsing has become so slow that it usually times out. Another strange problem is Facebook messages which does not work at all (cannot read nor send(.
    I have Lenovo laptop connected to the same network so I can benchmark and browsing works just fine on that aswell as FB messages.
    Anybody got a solution to this other than using the iMac for offline use only ?

    Hi !
    I booted both the modem and router but it did not help. Then I tried using the iMac on wireless and now it works so must be something in my D-Link router.
    Thanks for pointing me to the right direction !

  • MacPro usb very slow after upgrading to mountain lion

    When backing up with Carbon Copy to an external USB drive very slow, eventually the system freezes. After upgrading to Mountain Lion its been a complete pain when trying to do back-ups. Does Apple have a USB software fix for this?

    Disconnect the external drive and see whether there's an improvement.

  • With Lion I had 2 user accounts. Why do I have three user accounts after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

    I had consistenlty had a master admin user account for myself under Lion, plus the "Guest" account recommended and created by Lion. After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I now have the same 2 accounts, plus a new one called "Other." Why do I have that? Why was it created? How do I get rid of it if it is not needed?

    I meant to include this info from the System Profile:

  • My 2011 Macbook has become exceedingly slow after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

    I have a 2011 Macbook which has become really slow after I upgraded to Mountain Lion in March. At first it wasn't that bad, but it's getting worse and my computer has begun to overheat even if I'm only using Google Chrome. I used to be able to keep multiple applications open at once and never closed many of them, but now if I want to get anything done I have to use the absolute minimum. My CPU has reached 86 degrees Celsius and temperatures slightly below this seem to be the average, even if I've only been on for ten minutes. It heats up VERY quickly. The fan has been operating at 2919 rpm, but it has said that for days and I don't know if this number should be changing? (I know that normal is about 2000 rpm, so I know it shouldn't be that high anyway.)
    I'm currently working on cleaning out my harddrive of duplicate and unnecessary files and I plan on restoring to the default settings and backing everything up on an external harddrive... but are there other things I should be doing to speed my computer back up, like good programs to clean out my computer's temporary memory on a regular basis? The problem seems to have come on pretty fast though, so I don't know if there could be something else wrong with it and if I should take it into an Apple-approved repair place.
    Also, I'm not one to illegally download/pirate things from sketchy websites, so I highly doubt a virus is the cause, especially given that Macs rarely get viruses.
    Any suggestions of what to do and what programs/apps to install would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  • Missing Mail Folders after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Prior to my upgrade to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard I had setup mail folders.  After the upgrade they were gone.  I cannot see them.  I cannot see a way to build a folder now.  Can someone assist?  Thanks.

    "Folders" are now called "Mailboxes". To add a mailbox, select Mailbox --> New Mailbox. You will be prompted to enter a location and a name. Then you will see your mailbox appear in the sidebar and you can drag messages to it. You can also make smart mailboxes that automatically add messages to themselves according to a set of predefined rules. Select Mailbox --> New Smart Mailbox and enter a name and a set of rules.

  • App Store and Mail crash after update to Mountain Lion

    I installed Mountain Lion on an empty partition on my HD and then used Migration Assistant to bring over my user account.

  • MacBook Pro slower after upgrading to mountain lion?

    MacBook Pro 2009
    Factory setting: Snow Leopard
    Just 2 days ago, I reformatted my macbook back to its factory settings. Processing speed was fast and opening of apps does not seem to lag. Booting up and shutting down only took seconds. After reformatting my macbook, I upgraded my iOS from snow leopard to mountain lion and that is where the problems arises.
    1. Booting up and shutting takes much longer time? It used to be less than 10 seconds however, now it takes about 40-50 seconds.
    2. Opening of apps seemed to be slower. Example: When I open my iTunes, the app will bounce a few times and takes a few seconds (longer than before) for the app to appear.
    3. Whenever I try to select something when surfing net or doing some other programs, the mouse cursor will never fail to change to the "colourful ball" which I will have to wait for it to load.
    Can anyone help here?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive

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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.

  • My Mac is running super slow after upgrading to Mountain Lion....Help!

    I'm really not very good with computers so I may need a bit more basic help

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps 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.
    Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    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.
