2013 MacBook Pro VERY slow with Mavericks

Hi, this is taking me quite a long time to type, due to the periodic (meaning about every 30 seconds) complete paralization of my entire system. As someone who needs this machine to make money, I would really appreciate some help!

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 slower with Mavericks

Do I need a faster computer? I aleready have 8GB RAM.

It can take a couple of reboots for all the caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.

MacBook Pro very slow to bring up homepage, won't open programs; likely related to attempt to upgrade Java software on the Parallels side, not successful because of low C drive capacity, recommended C drive compression not successful/completed.

MacBook Pro very slow to bring up homepage, programs won't open; likely related to failure to upgrade Java on Parallels, told that C disc low capacity, disc compression recommended was unsuccesful/failed. Rebooting, battery removal hasn't helped. Can't open Systems Preferences. Suggestions?

Linc, the resident dump guru, will probably be along in awhile and provide deeper insights, but here goes for now. I'm seeing an awful lot of warnings and messages from Chrome. Any chance you could lay off that browser for awhile and use Safari in the meanwhile? No red messages anywhere in the listing. Have you tried rebooting into Mountain Lion Recovery Mode to do a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions? (Cause in spite of what your config tag says, the dump indicates you are running a ML kernel)

MacBook Pro - Very slow, Full RAM, Fan is constantly on - With EtreCheck, etc.

Hello everyone! Thank you all in advance for any type of help or advice, I appreciate it a lot.
I am using:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Macintosh HD has 294,08 GB free (out of 499,25 GB)
I am a student, using my MacBook constantly during the day. Applications that I use daily - Safari, Word, Outlook and Finder are always on; a lot of the time I am also using Photoshop CS6, Skype.
Ever since the update to OS X Yosemite my MacBook did slow down noticeably. I left this issue unattended as I was using uni computer at the time. Recently I returned to the actual studies and design work on my MacBook. I couldn't cope with how slow it was, ended up in forums looking for the solution. I tried a couple of things already (was restarting/shutting down computer in-between these tasks):
1. Disabled FileVault (it was on for moths, I had no idea of what it is), completed the decryption process (it took around 10 hours).
2. After that I ran EtreCheck, that found a couple of actual and potential issues, I more or less sort it out, will attach the new report in the end of the post.
3. Tried to disable Spotlight to affect mds, not sure it worked.
4. Moved to Trash apps I wasn't using, properly uninstalled only a couple of them. Emptied trash.
5. Erased Safari history that emptied about 500MB of RAM, but then it went back to almost 3.98GB full out of 4GB.
At the moment I only have Safari on and kernel_task takes 570MB of memory, used RAM is 3,88GB out of 4GB.
Fan is constantly on, MacBook is very slow. If I understand correctly RAM is the main issue, unfortunately being a student I am not able to buy and install more memory. I also understand that Photoshop takes a lot of RAM memory, what can I do about it? Photoshop is a crucial app for me.
Is there a way to free some of the RAM memory and make my Macbook faster? Would a clean Yosemite install help? (Can Yosemite at all perform properly on a MacBook with only 4GB memory? What will help it run faster?)
Here's my EtreCheck report:

Thanks a lot in advance! Looking forward for the possible solutions!

Let Spotlight finish indexing your HDD. Stopping it is pointless.
Regarding the fans, it is always running when you turn on the MBP. It is a question of how fast. If there are light loads on the CPU, the fans should be near silent. If otherwise, try a SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
If that does not slow the speed at very light loads then there are other reasons that need to be explored.
If you cannot instal;l additional RAM (your MBP will accept up to 16GB) then you will have to accept slower performance. Yosemite is a RAM glutton. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are Owc and Crucial.
Time Machine or any other backup is only necessary if the data you have on your MBP is important. Ask yourself this question: What will be the degree of inconvenience should the internal HDD fail? All hard drives eventually fail.
Ciao.

After upgrading to Mavericks, macbook pro very slow

Hiya
I upgraded to Mavericks and ever since then my macbook pro is very slow.
When I try to open a new finder window, I get the rainbow ball. Chrome is extremely slow. Word is also slow to open, slow to wake, and slow to shut down. Pretty much everything is slow!
I did repair permissions using disk utility, but that didn't solve the problem.
I ran EtreCheck and here's what I got:

Macbook pro very slow few weeks after Mavericks update

Hi,
Please I am in need of assistance. I have noticed some significant performance degradation after my OS upgrade. Slower system, spinning wheels, hanging and once crashing and restarting. I used to be able to run many apps simultaneously while zipping along. These days not so much.
I have run an etrecheck (following the example found in some other discussions). Please see output below. Any suggestions or advise is very welcome:

15” MBP Mid 2010 models have been recalled for GPU issues. See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5681.
Official Apple statement: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of this Knowledge Base article and go to an Apple store or Apple Authorizes Service Provider with your machine and the documentation.
Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
If it has been three years since your date of purchase then you are past the date covered by the recall but sometimes they honor it anyway.

Macbook pro very slow at startup, with often "repair disk" demand

I have a mid2009 15'' macbook pro. I have an issue of it being veery slow and some times non-responsive for no reason. It also takes a considerable extended time to startup.
I use only 35-40% of the HD, i have the least posible apps opening at startup, i keep desktop clean etc.
Another thing that is strange is that very often when i perform VERIFY DISK, most times it sais i need to repair from partition (can happen even every day or two)
Is my disk failing? Is there any way to test it?
Note: My optical drive is not working any more (like the drive of every mac owner after 2-3 years ) so i cant use the Hardware Test Cd.Is there any other way?

Use an external drive.

Macbook Pro late 2008 with Mavericks gets Grey screen of death.

Hey guys..
When Mavericks was released, I updated my old Macbook Pro (late 2008) 2.8ghz on work, and since then I have had a couple of Grey Screen of Deaths.
I had none of those before Mavericks, so I guess thats the source of the problem.
I've been trying to figure out what might cause it, from the crash log below, but I can't seem to figure anything from it, so I was hoping you guys could help me?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a kernel panic, caused by some PowerManagement from kernel_task. But how do one fix that?

I am having similair issues : MBP 4.1 2008
It does not want to reboot at all .
Stops with the grey screen .Spinning wheel / gear stops spinning and Mac reboots automaticly to.... get stuck again .
Ive tried the recovery : No automatic reboot But same screen : ( grey , stuck stopped spinning wheel)   some how it enters Disk Utility because I can trigger the voice that ask for the language etc. (I left it there overnight without result ) I dont see DU on screen ( tried second monitor : No luck )
Did a hardware test : No issues
Did single user logon :   fsck   : No problems with the drive ( after 2 runs ) ( 1st runs : changes were made )
Did Logon Verbose status : Initial messages : shutdown reasons : code 128 ...   now followed by code 3
Tried to reinstall the original OSX ( 2008 )   No luck : grey screen changes to darker screen coming in from the top asking to reboot the system .
1st real bad signal was : When donwloading Maverick ( again ) to create a bootable USB the screen started flickering ( this started when pressing the download button ??? - I had to reboot the mac to stop
2 days later :
Last Live activity with this mac was : Trying to create maverick Bootable USB using diskmaker X )   During this activty the mac died on me .
I have a full time machine backup : so no worries about data...I hope )
This mac is one of the lucky ones with the bad NVDIA 8600m gt cards ... after upgrarding in march 2013 to Lion ..it crashed on me with the black screen of death ...Since apple stopped the guarantee I baked it in the oven at 200 c for 7 minutes . For the last months it was working Fine .   ( Hardware check shows no issues - and upon reboot it chimes happy ..)
What could be my next options ? ( Obvious buying a new one ... This is allready launched as an idea .   I need more creative thoughts :-)

Why is my Macbook Pro very slow to boot and also everything else?

Hi,
When I start my computer, it remains at the silver screen with Apple logo forever. The startup boot is supremely slow.
Even while i am opening applications, the icons keep on jumping at the dock for a long time before the application starts.
The problem started about two months ago however it has worsened a lot recently. This is my etrecheck profile. Hope it helps. Any help will be appreciated.
My MacbookPro is very slow. Here's the Etrecheck report.
Let me know what i should do.

Please uninstall "Cisco AnyConnect" and see whether there's an improvement. If there is, check to see whether there's an update, or preferably, use the built-in Cisco client instead.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

If you choose to use garbage such as "Intego VirusBarrier" you are going to need more memory, a lot more. I suggest you uninstall it according to its instructions, and evaluate your Mac's performance without burdening it with completely useless junk. As long as Intego remains active, your Mac will have few resources remaining to do anything else.
Using Intego's "Virus Barrier" and "Net Barrier" products on a brand new Mac containing nothing but one minimally configured user account resulted in performance degradation so severe that it became nearly unusable. No knowledgeable Mac user would consider using it even remotely tolerable.
Intego should only be uninstalled using the uninstaller included with it. Don't use anything else. A successful uninstallation will result in the following:
After that, restart your Mac. Other Intego components will remain but they will be inert and will not affect your Mac's operation.

MACBook Pro - Extremely Slow with Freezes

Hi,
I have this macbook pro model
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:          2.5 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
And with 385 GB out of 499 GB of free memory.
I have practically nothing on it, no huge files & not more than the basic apps., nothing !
However, I have a very slow response. Word sometimes takes a minute to open when I only have just Chrome running in the background.
It gets worse when many apps are running together, but even then its only basic apps nothing major. Safari would normaly take not less than 20 seconds to open. I have just dropbox thaat run automatically after start up but nothign else. Still most of the time I am faced with the slow response. The spinning beack ball is always on to, which makes me force quit alot of time.
My battery is working quite well
Thanks for the feedback !

MacBook Pro: Very slow download

Hi, I'm experiencing very slow download speed with Macbook pro recently. Tried download the same file using a Window notebook worked fine. please help.
I was downloading a spreadsheet from Hotmail: Download speed on Mac: 700b/s; Download speed on Window Notebook: 2Mb/s.

That's insane.
Are you sure you don't mean 30Mbps?
Anyway, have you downloaded a test file hosted via ftp by your ISP?

Audio problem and macbook pro very slow

Hello,
I have a macbook pro for less than a year.
The latter has begin to be very slow. In addition, I have no sound which are emitted from my Mac, setting apart the opening gong. By the jack, there is no red light that are emitted. I tried to go in the program "audio setup midi" but it does not even want to open. So I tried to open the configuration panel go to select a new audio output device, but to my surprise, after an interminable waiting times, I got a list of blank audio device .. .
I noticed that it started when I put my Mac to version 10.7.4 ... So this is very recent ...
When downloading the update, I was editing a script with automator and my Mac was rammed by an HDMI cable has a television, if it ever can help.
I was wondering how to solve my problem.
thank you
Bonjour,
j'ai un macbook pro depuis moins d'un an.
Ce dernier a commencer a être très lent. De plus, je n'ai plus aucun son qui es émis de mon Mac, mise a part le gong d'ouverture. Par la prise jack, il n'y a pas de lumière rouge qui es émis. J'ai essayé d'aller dans le programme "configuration audio midi" mais celui-ci ne veux même pas ouvrir. J'ai donc essayé d'ouvrir le paneau de configuration pour aller sélectionner un nouveau périphérique de sortie audio, mais a ma grande surprise, après un délais d'attente interminable, j'ai eu droit a une liste de périphérique audio vide...
J'ai remarqué que cela a commencé lors que j'ai mis mon Mac à la version 10.7.4... Donc, c'est tout récent...
Lors du téléchargement de la mise à jours, j'éditais un scripte avec automator et mon Mac était banché par un cable HDMI a une télévision, si jamais ça peux aider.
Je me demandais comment résoudre mes problème.
Merci

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Why is my MacBook Pro running slow with spinning rainbow icon?

I currently have a MacBook Pro 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB running Snow Leopard that is a little over a year old and lately it has been getting really hot on the bottom right corner and will randomly have a spinning rainbow icon when I try to surf the web or multitask. It never did this until about 3 months ago. It now runs very slow at times. What is causing this and how can it be fixed? Thanks.

Go to the bottom of that window and click the submenu "CPU" to see the dynamic read-out of I/O [in and out]. This will give you an overview of the system activity. If you want to isolate one process, then click on it to highlight then look at the read-out.
If the numbers are low with no unusual spikes then you need to look elsewhere to discover the slow down in the system. It might be lack of operating room on the HD. Check your Macintosh HD icon in the upper right of the desktop: highlight and press Command + "I" [⌘I] for Info. If your disk is starting to fill up and there is not enough free space, that can slow down the works.
