2012 Macbook Pro running slowly since mavericks update

Since updating to Mavericks when it was first released my macbok pro has been running very slowly. Starting up apps takes longer, hangs occur when switching between apps or even browser tabs, when i close the lid the laptop won't go to sleep but instead heats up and i can't listen to a song on itunes the whole way through without several 20 or so second pauses. I have tried repair permissions (this oddly improves performance when its running), resetting NVRAM/PRAM. resetting SMC and a Hardware test but nothing worked/ no problems identified. The problems still occur in safe mode and when i added a new user. I also removed any apps or software that could be causing it such as chrome but this didn't help.
Similar problems occured the last time i update the mac, though they were much more severe and lead to the hard drive being replaced at the apple store. It had been running smoothly until the mavericks update.
After looking at similar posts i took the liberty of providing the following information:

Hi Somajoe,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you have tried a lot of good troubleshooting steps. Since the behavior persists in safe mode and a new user, and you have effectively ruled out third party software conflicts, I recommend reinstalling Mavericks next:

    If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check.
    If none of these suggestions work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility.Repair a disk

  • Macbook Pro running slowly, bad crunchy(?) sound, and now shuts off randomly

    Hi there,
    I have an early 2011 13" Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.4. For the past six months or so, my computer has been running relatively slowly. I brought it into a shop, but the guy couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. In the past two months or so, the sound has been terrible, whether it's watching youtube videos or listening to something on itunes or playing a game. it will sound fine, until like 30 seconds in when it will go all crunchy and garbled and terrible sounding. I don't know how else to describe it. Just now, my computer randomly turned off in the middle of me playing a game, and at first it wouldn't turn back on. I'm a little freaked out by that, as I'm a graduate school student and my computer is my life. I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with it. :/
    I've attached the crash report from the shut down here. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for your help!

  • Macbook Pro Running Slowly and Pinwheeling a lot

    I have been having an issue with my macbook pro running very slowly lately. Everything just feels slugglish, and sometimes menus and other programs take a while to respond. I have 4 GB of RAM, and I just feel like things are running too slow for a computer with a Core2Duo and 4 Gigs of RAM. I have snow leopard installed.
    Also, the computer came with 2GB, but I upgraded to 4 myself. I did not buy the memory from Apple though, I bought it directly from crucial. Is it possible the memory has gone bad or something. I really don't know what to do.

    Do you still have the slowness problem when running OSX from the DVD (not running AHT)?
    Is this symptom occasional, or all the time?
    Most of the classic problems causing slowness that can be user fixed have been covered, but it does not mean totally eliminated.
    The hard drive can still be intermittently bad despite the SMART status. I would put the original RAM back, and boot from an external Firewire hard drive with my backup HD clone. If you don't have one, you should - you might need it sooner than you think. This test can confirm if your internal HD is causing this or not.
    I suppose it's also possible that you've developed a software problem and reloading OSX might help. This is quite a lot of work without a backup clone or Time Machine backup. You may have to take it to a technician if you don't feel up to doing this.

  • I am asked to Sign in with my Apple ID each time I boot my Macbook pro running the current and updated version of Yosemite

    Each time I boot my Macbook Pro running a currently patched version of Yosemite I am asked to "Sign in with my Apple ID."  After that I have to approve the use of Find My Mac, and then I have to agree to the Terms and conditions of Use.   This is very annoying since I use Bootcamp a lot and it adds a fair effort to the reboot process.   Any thoughts?
    Some additional clues that may or may not have bearing on this.
    Once I am booted into Yosemite completely, if I open Safari (also current version)  I am told my Safari Extensions have been migrated and I have to re-enable each one individually.   They have all been disabled.   This will occur each time I completely close Safari and reopen it.
    I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions everyone!   Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    Hi chc517,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on a couple things about your specific configuration. The message you mentioned about the disk being encrypted would seem to indicate that you may have File Vault enabled. If that is the case and you are having a login issue, you would need to use the File Vault recovery key to reset your login password instead of your Apple ID, as noted in the following article:
    OS X Yosemite: FileVault recovery key

  • How do I install Lion on a partition on a 2012 Macbook pro running Mavericks?

    I need to run software for which the latest OS that it is compatible with is OSX 10.7. How can I install 10.7 on a partition in my Mavericks Macbook pro?

    Another way to find out is to call Apple (or stop at the nearest Genius Bar) and give them your serial number - they will be able to tell you with that.
    FWIW, if you bought it used and it had Mavericks on it but the original OS was anything earlier than that, the seller didn't do you any favors as any OS (or app) purchased/downloaded from the app store is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever - and it is not transferable. What that means is that unless he did a complete erase and reinstall the original OS (as required by the licensing agreement), you won't be able to update any apps and/or won't be able to reinstall as you'll be prompted for the seller's Apple ID/password.
    So, let's figure out what it came with first; then you can try internet recovery (press Command + Option + R keys during boot up until you see it is connected to Apple's servers); in the Utilities screen, choose Disk Utility and erase your drive. When finished, back to the Utilities screen, choose reinstall OS X. While in Disk Utility, you should be able to re-partition - although I can't guarantee that'll work at that point because I've never tried it, but I don't see why it shouldn't. After you have it installed on one partition, install it again on the other partition. Once that's done, you can download/install Yosemite (or whatever) on one of the partitions using your own Apple ID.
    Note: you must erase your entire drive in order to do any of the above.

  • 2012 MacBook Pro running extremely slowly with constant color wheel

    I have a 2012 MacBrook Pro and yesterday it randomly began to function extremely slowly and has almost a constant color wheel. This does not just happen when on the internet, but happens with any function of my computer. Even the typing is lagging.
    The following information might be helpful in attempting to find a solution:
    -All of my updates are up to date
    -I have tried turning off my computer and restarting it a few times, including trying it in SafeMode and there was no difference.
    -My computer has never done this before.
    -I did not have an abnormal amount of activity happening on my computer when it began to function extremely slowly.
    Anyone have any ideas of what could be happening and how I can fix this?
    Thank you!

    Are these typical problems that happen when there are problems with a startup drive or another hardware component?
    Yes.
    When the slowdown is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

  • Why is my macbook pro running slowly?

    My macbook pro is running really slowly, even after I reinstalled the OS. I thought I would just live with it, but then I found etrecheck and thought I could get some help through this forum. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. Here's the output from Etrecheck. Any feedback would be very much appreciated:

  • Macbook Pro VERY SLOW since mavericks! Please Help!

    My Macbook pro is a late 2012 model, 2.3GHz Intel Core i7 with 4GB ram
    Ever since upgrading to mavericks, it has slowed down immensely! It was never this slow or buggy with Mountain lion
    It takes a good 2 minutes to load mail, finder is very buggy - it will take a good minute to load a photo - which was not normal
    I also run Adobe CC design software - and it is very very slow
    Safari is extremely slow and buggy, and sometimes shows screens as below:
    I was going to upgrade to 2x8GB ram which will be 16GB of ram - will this solve the problem?
    Should i upgrade to yosemite? will these problems be fixed please?
    I have tried asking the Apple Outlet here in Malta but they are of no help at all, don't know where else to ask!

  • Macbook pro runs slowly even with tons of free memory??

    Hi,
    I've seriously tried to follow everyone's advice on how to keep your Macbook running efficiently, even so I have serious problems with it. For one thing, Microsoft Office programs run more slowly on my Macbook Pro than they would on a PC from 1995. If I open Word or Excel, it takes at least 6 minutes to load, and then functions ok (most of the time) but if I try to save a file, graphics wig out and typing the name of the file, it's like each letter is processed 3 seconds at a time after taking a whole minute to understand what I'm even typing in the first place. I use Google Chrome (no, safari doesn't run any faster) and I sometimes have issues with that. Finder also! It takes so long to click around my folders because my computer responds so slowly. It also sometimes wigs out when I try to jump between desktop screens. And actually even the mouse cursor decides not to respond for a few seconds.
    I have 411 GB (out of 500) of free memory. I don't run multiple apps at once--usually I will run Chrome and Word, and then if I absolutely must, also Excel or Powerpoint, but I really try to use at most 3 at a time, and then I still have these severe problems. Sometimes I only have Word open and I still have these problems. My desktop is not cluttered; I clean it out regularly so I have like 5 files on there, pretty much all screenshots. My downloads folder does not have a billion files in it; it has accumulated some but I do make an effort to clean it regularly so there really isn't much. I don't have tons of music or movies or pictures or anything on my computer, and I also clean out my deleted files in the trash regularly.
    That being said, I'm not an expert on computer maintenance (because I always seem to have these issues), so maybe there are other things I haven't tried that people could recommend? I'm pretty sure that my RAM or CPU (I don't know the difference because I don't know much about computers) are being overexhausted, because sometimes I can actually hear the fan going off because my Mac is trying hard to process stuff (this happened 5 minutes ago when I had nothing but Chrome opened but I restarted and now it's quiet again). But I don't know how to check RAM or CPU usage on my Mac? And since I don't run that many apps anyway I don't know how to resolve this problem.
    Is there anything else I can try? Some other folders I should clean out? If so, can you please explain where to find these folders on OS X Yosemite? Because I used to be a  person, but I bought this Macbook Pro a year ago and I still have trouble navigating. Or if you think I should take this into the apple store and have it looked at, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance. \

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    Brad,
    I think this is a good choice. I "zero" any computer I get right out of the box, then reinstall OS X myself.
    Boot to your OS X install disk (isert the disk, then start or restart while holding down the "C" key. Your MBP will boot to the install disk.
    Once the installer loads, choose a language for the installer, then open Disk Utility from the "Utilities" menu. In Disk Utility's list on the left, select your computer's HD. Not the "volume" name indented underneath, but the device you will see listed at the top.
    In the "Erase" pane of Disk Utility, you will see a button labeled "Security Options." Click on this button. In the dialogue that appears, check the option for "Zero Out Data," then confirm your choice to return to the "Erase" pane. Choose a name for the new volume that will be created, then click "Erase."
    This process will take up to an hour. When it has completed, quit Disk Utility to return to the installer, then proceed to install a new copy of OS X.
    Scott
