13" MacBook Pro slows to a snail's pace - constant spinning pinwheel...
My MB Pro was getting a bit slow using Lightroom, so I restarted it. Since then everything is moving at 1% of it's normal rate. About 10 minutes to start up, 15 minutes to transfore 8GB of data to an external FW800 disk, bout a minute for a finder menu pane to respond to a click, immediate spinning pizza wheel on any mouse click. i.e. unusable. There's 25GB of free HD space.
Activity Monitor does't show any apps hogging RAM and this happens when only the finder is open (i.e. no major memory usage). Could it be that one of the 2GB memory chips has become faulty?
Unless I hear otherwise on this forum, I'll try taking one out and then the other.
If that doesn't work, I'd be grateful for any other suggestions.
Many thanks.
Richard
Start the machine up from your most recent OS installer DVD, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select your hard drive in the DU sidebar, click the First Aid tab, and check the hard drive's SMART status near the bottom of the DU window. Is it Verified or Failing?
If it's Verified, click the Repair Disk button and wait for the repair process to be complete. If any errors are reported to have been fixed, run it again until you get a "clean" run in which it's reported that the disk "appears OK."

New MacBook Pro slower than a snail
I have just upgraded to a new MacBook, and am having speed issues, first with Mountain Lion and now with Mavericks. It seems as though almost all operations, even selecting a file in the Finder, bring up the beach ball of death, and opening applications like Keynote or Pages can take 30 or more seconds. I am not here to knock Apple, although as a 20+ year user I am disappointed since this is the first time I have ever encountered anything lke this, but I am lost as to where to begin to correct this. Below is the latest EtreCheck output -any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, 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 View menu or 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 Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
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. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
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. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Macbook pro slow as a snail on a Monday.
Well it got quite slow a while ago and I sent it into atmac. They said it needed more ram and put 2GB in for the charming price of €300. It was fast for a while but is now even worse, and applications such as mail and safari are crashing most excessively.
Well, I would suggest a major spring cleaning, to try and eliminate any sort of crud that might be clogging up the works:
# Back it up just in case something goes wrong.
# If really paranoid, stick the Install DVD #1 in, reboot holding down the D key, run all Apple Hardware Test items. Repair if anything found amiss.
# Keep/stick Install DVD #1 in, reboot holding down the C key, run Disk Utility, Repair Disk. Repeat until no errors are found. If unable, repair disk with stronger stuff such as DiskWarrior.
# Reboot holding down the Shift key (Safe Boot Mode). Wait awhile, will take longer that usual. Remove Install DVD #1.
# Run Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions. Wait (quite) awhile.
# Reboot into Normal Mode.
# Force the Daily, Weekly, Monthly scripts to run using OnyX or any other suitable utility.
# Purge old logs using OnyX or any other suitable utility.
# Purge all caches using OnyX or any other suitable utility.
# Reboot, enjoy.
Yes, I will catch major flak from the purists: "Nooo, don't purge the caches, the system can maintain them without your intervention" Don't care: I'd rather it create them completely afresh, than have it screw up trying to figure out if a cache is corrupt or not. -
Mac Pro slowing to a snail's pace and hard drive constantly active
My Mac Pro is running very slowly. Programs are slow to load, I frequently get "beach balls" for non-intensive operations, and the hard disk never seems to stop. Both Safari and Firefox are especially slow. This is without running any resource intensive programs like video editors, or Photoshop. My wife is having the same problem on her account on the same computer. I have repaired disk permissions, reset PRAM, manually run the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance scripts, and even done a reformat and reinstall. Only about 3/8 of the primary hard drive is used. Any help would be appreciated.
Leroy,
I did restart in Safe Mode and the computer seemed to run fine. Then went to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and removed what I thought were the suspect programs, namely Shove Box, Butler, and Smart Reporter. I then restarted my computer normally, and left it on all night. Now the computer is back to running very slowly without the suspect programs running. To give you an example, iTunes took over 45 seconds to load completely.
The question I have is how do I tell what programs are not loaded when I boot in Safe Mode and what programs are loaded when do not boot in safe mode. That way I can try to figure out which program is causing the problems. I did review the article you linked to, and could not find anything that looked problematic except that the Caches folder in my Library folder is 905.3 M. As I write this my hard drive is whirling away for no apparent reason.
In reference to The Hatter's comment, that I could have a corrupt Spotlight index or database would that fit in with the facts that we have thus far? -
Mid 2010 macbook pro slow to sleep. No print queu issues.
Hey everyone! My Mid 2010 macbook pro slow is slow to go to sleep. I have read several community forums and I've checked for old print jobs (which seems to be a common issue) and have found none. I've also reset all printers and jobs. Anyways, it takes 35 to 60 seconds to go sleep (until fan/harddrive turns off/I see blinking white light). This slow sleep occurs even with a complete fresh install of Mavericks, and even after installing a new SSD. I am honestly at a loss.
I did the "pmset -g log" command and I have found two reoccurring things that I think might be the reason (though I don't really understand it fully). I commonly see "TimedOut InternalPreventSleep "com.apple.powermanagement.darkwakelinger" 00:00:15" commonly and "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep "Address Book Source Sync" 00:00:30". I have bolded both of these below:

Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?
Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?
I am having the same issue. I hook it up to the charger in the evening and close the lid. When I go to use it the next time it takes a good 30 seconds or so to wake up. The screen shows the log in screen but typing doesn't work and the cursor is frozen. Sometimes it will even give the rainbow wheel for the cursor, so it seem like it is processing whatever to get going. I also notice that my battery won't be fully charged at anywhere from 95%-99% after being charged a full evening. What can I do to change whatever is happening because it is pretty crappy to charge it all night expecting to have a full battery for the next use, plus the issue of having to sit there waiting for it to boot every time.

Why is my MacBook Pro slow? Beach ball
Boy, I was looking at a discussion of this from TODAY, about a half hour ago, and now can't find it.
"Why is my MacBook Pro slow?" brings "screen tearing issue" and other things not related to my problem.
I got and ran Easyfind, and got rid of MacKeeper.
What else do I need to do?
I have the beach ball way too often.
I just made an iMovie, but optimizing it for YouTube is impossible. Boxes keep getting grayed out; complete hangup.
Can easyfind help further?
Thank you.Hi Tomo 2,
Kim Komando said get Sophos, so I did. I see it found something called Bredo-K on Nov. 22.
It's now scanning my OVER 5 MILLION FILES. Seriously, I don't think I need that many.
Right now about 50% of CPU idle,
about 1.03 GB Ram free.
Sophos is using about 90% of whatever.
This scanning could take all weekend. I need to get rid of some stuff. Hard to know what, though.
Thanks for any more ideas.

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!
Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

Why is my Macbook Pro slow all of a sudden?
Question repost as the first question posted, only received one answer that did not assist at all, unfortunately.
I have a 2013 Macbook Pro that i purchased earlier this year. My second. First one had 0 problems, ever. I upgraded from 8 to 16gb of RAM, and it was running just as it should. All of a sudden, and without any warning, it has slowed to a snails pace on just about everything. I get the pinwheel of death constantly, it's taking 20-30 minutes to move 1.77GB of data, which used to take under 1 minute. Programs are slow to open, and the stalling is constant. I've read a few forums, and all signs seem to point to the beginning of a HD failure? Can someone please assist?
Sidenote: i went and checked the disc permissions, which did show many errors, all of which, however, i repaired. It started working again fairly well for a day, and is now back to the same level of slow. What could this be? Please help.Question repost as the first question posted, only received one answer that did not assist at all, unfortunately.

Sidenote: i went and checked the disc permissions, which did show many errors, all of which, however, i repaired. It started working again fairly well for a day, and is now back to the same level of slow. What could this be? Please help. -
Installed Yosemite on my macbook pro slow down the RAM
Hi Everyone
few Days ago I Just Installed new Operating System from App Store, Unfortunately My laptop stop working while typing in Word file. After 24 hr of installation my mac book worked perfectly until there was two application of iphoto and iMovine that asked me for update, which I did.
but since then I couldn't access my file or do anything in normal running. the good thing is that I managed to back up all my file through the safe mode.
So far what I did: I deleted All my catch file all the applications that I believed that is taking so much memory, ( Iphoto and Imovie), did the repair permission,
and other suggestion like download application like CleanMyMac 2 to delete all unnecessary file
As I read from other ppl that experienced this I download Etrechck to show you the details of my system configuration:
Could someone tell me what should I do.. I was thinking of replacing my cable to my hard disk ... that might be cause of slow running or should I re-install again ..! any advice will be appreciated

2 yr old Macbook Pro slow & has frozen 13x past 2 days
I need assistance on figuring out what is causing my MacBook pro to slow down. There are three things that are happening here:
-Every 45 seconds to 2 minutes I will get the spinning color wheel...probably my Macbook thinking, but it was running like a stallion almost 72 hours ago.
-When I boot the Macbook up there is an extra long wait at the grey screen with the apple logo in the middle.
-Often times when viewing youtube, streaming pandora, or playing league of legends the computer will freeze - causing me to hard reboot.
I've tried several things:
-Verified disk (nothing was wrong) still verified it anyways.
-Checked permissions and repaired permissions.
-Started in Safe Mode and rebooted.
I have read other forum discussions and went ahead and deleted non-sense apps that were unnecessary. I have moved my user files to my external hard drive and have an appointment at the genius bar on Wednesday...but I still want to know how to fix the issue. I really dislike having my personal belongings not working as they should be and it's really bothering me.
I appreciate your support and assistance. Also, if you have a solution - please provide me with a reason as to why I am doing it so I can understand it better. I would prefer a little bit of validation...I don't want to make things worse than they already are.

I also used TSM adware removal app and it deleted 'spigot'..that's the only thing i caught. Do you have any more recommendations? I'm going to use Safe mode right now and see if it freezes like that. -
Why is my MacBook Pro slowe when I open it off line to view photo images?
I had recently activated iCloud. I have it set not to copy my photos or data, but only settings and a few other categories. I opened it offline in Preview to quickly view photos on memory cards. I found it slow, with a drop down box periodically flashing open from the top of the screen. It appears to be attempting to copy or save my images. I presume this is to iCloud, though I have it specifically unchecked and do not want it saved to iCloud. I have Dropbox, which I quit, so it is not a factor. I never save my photo images there either. In the past, it was never problem to open and view images with Preview. Now it is extremely slow to open and load images for contact sheet view. All this is recent with the addition of Mavericks and iCloud. Also, I attempted to get out of this by quitting, but had to resort to a forced quit, as it continued to do what it was doing.
Is there a way to be sure iCloud is not copying things and slowing down my computer? Is this a glitch caused by Mavericks?
I have done scans with Sophos Antivirus and it does not appear I have any virus. I have lost all the speed of having a Mac. It is now slower than my old dual core Acer PC. I recently added a Caldigit Thunderbolt dock which has worked great to add USB 3.0 to my early 2011 MacBook Pro which had not 3.0 ability, but this
was bypassed, as my card reader is only 2.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
<Edited by Host>I think I have found the source of my problem detailed above. Apparently, there have been problems with Preview running on OS Mavericks, dating back to October 2013, which Apple has yet to acknowledge or address. Many have had similar problems with photo images loading very slowly to the point of making Preview unuseable.
It may also explain problems I have had with flash drives and hard drives that ran on my Mac Book Pro under Lion no longer working since upgrading to Mavericks. I found other postings on these issues.
It is a shame that I have to resort to Google as the best source to identify problems with my Mac and possible solutions. In many cases, it directs me to the source on Apple Support, which is difficult to find when one attempts a search via Apple Support. This could use some improvement.
I am new to using community support sites and Apple does not seem to provide simple, clear directions on how to get started. Jumping in with both feet, not only did I get wet, but I apparently "splashed" someone, as I got a hostile response from another community member on the first issue ever posted. I never did get an answer to the problem, though. I hope some find these comments helpful.
Oh, and wake up, Apple. We all would hope you monitor and glean information from these postings and act promptly to remedy problems with OS Mavericks.

Old MacBook Pro slow and hangs frequently, hard drive problems?
Hi,
I have an old Macbook Pro (one of the originals, from about 4 1/2 years ago). Recently I've been noticing that it runs really slow, especially when its been running for a while and there are multiple programs open. It will take a long time to switch between windows, opening a tab in Safari will usually cause a spinning beach ball for 10-15 seconds and Safari crashes frequently. Other programs have similar problems, but don't normally crash. It's running Snow Leopard and has 1GB of RAM. Obviously I expect it to be slower with lots of stuff open, but my usage patterns haven't changed and its performance certainly has. The harddrive always seems to be being accessed when I have these problems.
The hard drive S.M.A.R.T. status is "verified," and I ran the Apple Hardware Test and it came out fine. But I'm still really worried that something could be going wrong, especially with the hard drive and since I am going away in a few weeks to work on a project and will be away from my backup drive I really want to make sure any problem is taken care of beforehand.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the the problem or about anything I should try?
Much Thanks.With lots of concurrent processes and insufficient memory you will experience slow performance and beachballing. This is because the OS is forced to use the hard drive to replace the non-existent physical RAM. See the following:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Also, a small hard drive with too little free space and a system lacking in any regular maintenance can also lead to slow performance. See the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
ynchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
This should give you a few things to start sorting things out and getting better performance from your computer within its limitations.
If you have a Core Duo model then 2 GBs is the maximum RAM you can install. If you have a Core 2 Duo model then you can install up to 4 GBs but they system will only make use of 3 GBs. As for the hard drive it can be replaced. Notebook drives in the 250 to 500 GB - 7200 RPM range are relatively inexpensive. Visit OWC for pricing on drives and RAM. Visit Data Mem for pricing on RAM. -
Macbook Pro Slows To A Crawl, Please Help!
Ok so here's the problem. I realize people get this problem all the time but it's usually for various different reasons so I figured I'd throw my story down and see if any of you know what it could be.
About a week ago I dropped my Macbook Pro from my bunkbed at college. I know, I know. I know more than you guys how stupid and terrible of a feeling it was just witnessing it fall to the ground without me being able to do anything about it. Luckily(?) it fell directly on its top. I freaked and frantically opened the thing and to my surprise it worked perfectly fine...
...Except for the fact that now every single time I open up the lid to use it the SuperDrive I believe makes 3 annoying sounds that sounds strikingly similar to a disc being ejected or inserted. I discovered some things to help that but I realized that it wasn't too big of a deal, especially when the laptop decided to hit the ******* today, making my problems much greater.
I was simply putting some music files into iTunes, with my iTouch connected. As they started to download or whatever they do in iTunes, it would always freeze at a certain song, making me restart the laptop. Every time I loaded iTunes back up and it attempted to download the songs I would get an error messages saying that 'my backup may be corrupt and to delete the files'. One time after restarting I went to iTunes to find all my songs gone and only the ones from the Cloud (not mine, my sisters) on there. This is when I decided to get rid of all the cloud songs and re-put all mine (2700ish) back onto iTunes. About 2/3rds of the way through it hit the can and gave me a beachball. I then went to look online for how to do that and before long the entire laptop began to slow. I mean slowwwwwww. Its only gotten worse. Clicking on anything will result in a beachball and a 10-15 minute wait at the minimum, and that's just to click on a icon on the dock. The slowing begins immediately from booting up the MBP. I believe the process of turning it on after a Shut Down is now beginning to take longer.
It's too slow for me to even attempt to do anything with these 'corrupt backups'. I just don't know what caused it, seeing as I was doing something I do all the time. And I surely don't know what could be done to fix it.
Also interesting(uninteresting?) to note is that nothing on the Activity Monitor is out of the norm. When no application is being used (I wouldn't be able to test it out otherwise) the CPU, RAM, and all that good stuff is per usual, like 98% idle, 2% used, etc..
Any help is much appreciated!Damage was done when your computer fell. Your warranty if you have one and Apple Care do not cover accidental damage. Your only alternative is to take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them. -
MacBook Pro Slowed to a CRAWL after less then a week....
Hello All,
I'm new to Mac. I just got a MacBook Pro last week.
Well, for some reason it has slowed to a crawl....
The dock show/hide and magnify isn't working either. Neither is the "active screen corners" feature on the dashboard. In addition to that, the system does not highlight menu items and show the submenus.
Also when starting applications they take forever to load.
It's acting like it has no ram even though it has 2 gigs and a 2.16 processor. The ram is showing up in the "About this MAC" screen though.
I've tried turning off all startup login items. Nothing is being loaded into memory. I've also tried running the disk utility.... still having the same problems.
I'm new to Mac so perhaps I'm missing something completely obvious.
What would you all suggest is going on, and what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)James:
I suspect Wizard's problems resulted from too many widgets and possibly some not quite compatible software. Slowdown can result from lack of free physical RAM, so that Virtual Memory swap files on disk have to be frequently accessed. I don't think he mentioned how much RAM is installed. His symptoms go beyond mere slowdown, however, so I would suspect other software problems as well.
Cutting way back on widgets together with restarting can work wonders sometimes.
OS X handles file fragmentation pretty well, for file sizes up to about 20 MB. It's probably not necessary to run defrag on a Mac unless one wants to clean up a large space for video work. I don't have defrag software. I'd rather wipe the drive (maybe once a year) and reload from a backup drive. I do swear by DiskWarrior, however, and hope they release an Intel version soon. DW does a great job of correcting disk and file errors and optimizes the directory.
Apple has been packing a lot of changes into OS incremental upgrades. To interpret that as comparable to Windows Service Packs probably isn't very accurate. Yes, some bugs are fixed but there have been steady upgrades of core features. Security fixes are often included as well. But I've experienced no stability problems whatever.
Some users recommend using Combo updates instead of using Software Update. I've always used Software Update and have never had a problem. The important thing, either way, is to make certain the operating system and disk directory are 'clean' and trouble-free before and after the update.
I've never had to do an OS reinstall except once, when I was tinkering with System files and slipped up. Routine preventive maintenance works.
