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:

    Hi ..
    Better to troubleshoot Yosemite.
    Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.   OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
    As for Safari, might be a cookies, cache, extensions, or plug-ins issue.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • 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)

  • HP P1006 DOES NOT PRINT after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7

    HP P1006 does not work after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7 2,6 with Mac OS 10.6.3
    I have used Time Machine to migrate from my previous MBP 15 C2D.
    I've tried to remove the printer in system pref. and install it again.
    The installer works fine but close to the end of the installation a new app is starting: HP Laserjet Firmware Update Utility, which won't start and just stays jumping at the dock, although the HP Installer succeeds to finish installing.
    So when i try to print, the printer stays idle.
    I have tried to download the installer from HP official website. Same story.
    Also tried to do Permission Repair in Disk Utility
    Please, if anyone knows a solution, help!

    After the 4th try of Installing the software it finally worked!
    Thanks anyway!

  • Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

    I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced  a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
    Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
    Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
    Thanks so much,
    Anthony

  • 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.

    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.

  • No Sound, Safari Slow & MacBook Pro Very Slow after upgrading to Yosemite.

    Hi All,
    Upgrading to Yosemite has resulted in the following issues with my computer/laptop:
    1. I have lost all sound and the sound options are no longer there after looking in Preferences.
    2. Safari only loads parts of pages and then takes forever to load the rest.
    3. Generally the computer has been slow with processes taking over the CPU and there seems to be a lot of hard memory swaps.
    Attached is the EtreCheck.    Any help would be appreciated.   It appears that I also am missing some daemons that are launching.
    Problem description:
    MacBook Pro has been running slowly ever since upgrading to Yosemite.

  • 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!

  • Why is my MacBook Pro very slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.5. - Solutions?

    Hello, hello
    After waiting quite a while - I paid the relatively small amount, and got myselves a new OS.
    But I am very disappointed of the speed - I see that this also was a problem with OS Lion?
    Please assist me. Perhaps others have this problem as well?
    Some info:
    - 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    - 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Also
    - Sometimes I run the Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 software, does this affect specs of the new OS?
    Hope to hear from you guys.
    Sincerely,
    Harald

    With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
    I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
    Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

  • My MacBook Pro very slow after restarting and can't open some programs

    One day I was using my Mac pro everything was fine until I restarted it, now I can't open any downloaded programs like google chrome and activity monitor crashes when I open it. I get beach ball of death by dong simple things like typing and clicking a link, and sometimes when i put it to sleep the fan is still on for a minute but the apple light is off and when I turn it on sometimes I get a blue screen

    Maybe you need to provide more information?
    What model MacBook Pro do you have?
    What version MacOS X?
    Do you have any aftermarket add-ons? e.g. an added SSD?
    What have you done so far to diagnose the problem?
    e.g. Have you scanned your hard disk for errors with Disk Utility?

  • Early 2008 MacBook Pro - Very slow start up, very hot

    Hi All,
    Looking for some help. Searched quite a few of the online forums and have not been able to resolve this issue.
    A few months back, my old reliable MacBook Pro (early 2008) started behaving oddly. Have no idea why, but went to start it up one day, and it took forever to start up and get me to the login screen. Been like that ever since. Occassionally, when I finally get to the login screen, the keyboard will not function. After a few minutes though, it always works. This only happens about 5% of the time. Once I log in, everything about the computer from a performance perspective seems to be pretty normal In addition to the slow start up, however, system gets extremely hot at the top of the keyboard, near the monitor. Fans run fast almost all the time when the system is powered on, and often when it is 'asleep'. CPU Temp goes to about 170, and the fans are always between 2400 and 3500.
    I took it to Apple a while back, and based on the incredibly slow start up time they believed it was a disk issue. I went ahead and purchased a 500GB internal drive and this past weekend used SuperDuper to copy the original boot disk. All went well and I now have a new internal disk. At the same time, I upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB.
    After all that, the system is still very slow at startup and runs as hot as it did before. I will say, it does seem to be slightly faster on the startup, but not what I had become accustomed to for the first 4 years of use.
    I looked at the activity monitor and don't see any processes hogging resources.
    No anti-virus software running.
    Currently running Mac OSX 10.6.8
    My battery is pretty muc shot, but I never really use the system unplugged.
    Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Hi there
    I am having a similar issue, my mac is the same age but I am getting a major heat issue.
    looking for some possible solutions.

    Your MBP needs more RAM based on the quantity of 'Page outs' vs 'Page ins'.  4 GB should be the minimum upgrade, 8 GB would be better.  The RAM specifications for a 2009 MBP are;  204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
