Aperture and iPhoto Running Slow Since Upgrading to Yosemite

IPhoto and Aperture is now running so slow it is nearly unusable. It has an especially slow startup. It was running just fine at first. I had imported some Canon 5D (original) RAW files, and it has been grinding ever since. I have tried deleting OS preferences and creating a new library. Neither suggestion helped the situation. This happened just a couple of days after the Yosemite update. I have added all of the latest patches. I am running it on a very recent MacBook pro.
I rely on this software heavily, so if it is not fixed soon, I will have to switch to Lightroom.
Thanks,
Chris

As kq6up mentioned you should try to repair your iPhoto/Aperture library. You can do this by holding down the option-key and the command-key simultaneously as you are launching iPhoto/Aperture. You will get some options to try out.
If that doesn't help, I would recommend using iPhoto Library Manager from Fat Cat Software that looks for duplicates and old thumbnails from previous versions of iPhoto. It should be able to fix Aperture libraries as well. I managed to clean up nearly 40 GB off from my 110 GB library using it and with prog99 tip iPhoto runs blazingly fast again.

Why does my iPhoto open and run slow since upgrading to OSX 10.8.5

Why does my iPhoto open and run slow since upgrading to OSX 10.8.5? I have an Imac - Intel 2.5 GHz quad core I5 - with 20 GB of memory. Before the upgrade it was much faster.

My macbook is running slow after upgrading to yosemite

Other's have posted similar experiences by when I ran etrecheck I didn't get a bunch of fails and yet my computer is extremely sluggish since moving from snow leopard to Yosemite. So much so, that I'm considering going back. Programs load slowly and switching between programs has a delayed response. Reminds me of the PC I had before I bought my macbook in 2008.
Any ideas on what might be causing the slow down?

Why is my iPad running slow since upgrading to 5.0.1?

Since my iPad was upgraded to 5.0.1 it seems to run slower and now it's been crashing out of applications frequently. Any ideas? I reboot it all the time to get it to run at a decent speed.

I didn't suffer anything like that with mine, but have hear about people who had the same after restoring from backup. Some said that restore the iPad from scratch (not from a previous backup) solved the problem.

Unless you've added RAM since you bought the computer, you could probably increase the performance by adding RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

I just want to crop my photos! Preview and iPhoto not working since upgrading.

I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and since doing so the edit function on Preview is non-selectable and iPhoto won't save any of my edits!? Please help this is an urgent requirement! I'm not interested in upgrading to the new Photos app - I've head terrible things about it.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Applications on MacBook run slow since upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard

I have upgraded my MacBook from Tiger to Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, my Mac runs very slowly and it takes several minutes to load a program. I cannot use my graphic softwares and firefox properly, because it takes several minutes to actually start up the application and also to use the application.
My MacBook states that 45 GB from a total of 110 GB are available space. Do I need to upgrade my HardDrive disk space, or do I need to upgrade my Ram?? What can I do so that my applications/software on my MacBook runs quicker (as they have been prior the Snow Leopard upgrade)?
Please advise! Details of my MacBook below.
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz

Hi...If it were my MacBook I would repair permissions via Disk Utility...(in your Applications > Utilities) folder......as well as 'Verify Disk' while you are in the Disk Utility....both functions are under the 'First Aid' tab...single click 'MacIntosh HD' to select it (left column) and then run First Aid.....see what that shows and does first
Expect some odd error messages while repairing permissions....ignore them...

Battery discharging and fan running constantly after upgrading to Yosemite

MBP Early 2011. Just got back a month ago from Apple Support for video related issue. Almost EVERYTHING was replaced (logic board, video, ram, battery, cdrom, even my dented case. Thank you Apple!). Has run for a month flawlessly on Mavericks. Upgraded to Yosemite 48 hours ago. Light on magsafe stays green. Battery indicator icon states Battery is not charging (currently at 75% and falling). Power source: Power adapter. While plugged in and operating, battery is discharging and fan constantly running. If I shut down, mag safe light turns yellow and battery will charge to 100%. If left plugged in and running in Yosemite, battery will drain all the way down.
Have tried:
Rebooting, putting into sleep mode, shutting down completely, unplugging and replugging power supply from wall and MBP while on and off, resetting SMC with Shift Control Option Power keys/buttons.
No third party battery or power apps installed, fresh load of Mavericks from factory when I got it back. This feels like something with the new energy management in Yosemite isn't working as expected to me. Thoughts & suggestions appreciated!

UPDATE: Resolved!
Disabled all login items but problem persisted on normal boot. Resetting SMC and PRAM had no effect. After booting into Safe Boot, problem did not exist. Looked in console logs and saw this right as problem started to occur:
10/20/14 6:49:07.004 PM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.gspy.MO3V2Daemon[93967]) Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 2: No such file or directory: /Library/MO3V2/MO3V2Daemon.app/Contents/MacOS/MO3V2Daemon
This pertains to the Steelseries WoW MMO gaming mouse. Ran the uninstall.command from Applications for this mouse software and rebooted. Fixed.
Light on MagSafe connector is orange, battery shows as charging, fan is not running constantly. I can't begin to understand how this would effect the battery charging functions but, after uninstalling this, the problem was resolved. Hope this will help someone else.

Iphoto very slow since upgrade Snow Leopard

Hello
i aprreciate your help, here.
Since we've upgraded our MacBook to Snow Leopard, iphoto '09 is very very slow. it takes up to 45 sec to go from one photo to another if I use the adjustement tools or crop.
What do we do?
Thank you

I really don't understand why you're surprised. The idea that software makers somehow cripple existing apps to make users upgrade is common. It's also silly.
Let me give you a simple example. Today I paid €900 to repair the clutch on a Renault Espace that has 36k on the clock. Should I suppose this is a plan by Renault to get me to buy a new car? If it is, it's a remarkably stupid plan, because I can pretty much guarantee you that then next car I buy will not be a Renault. So too with Software. If you really think that Apple are trying to trick you or force you to upgrade, wouldn't you be stupid to do that? Wouldn't a sensible person instead by software by some other maker, rather than the one you think is cheating you? In fact, you'd really have to be very stupid to continue to use the software of a company that you believe is cheating you.
So, assuming you're not a stupid person, and assuming Apple are also not stupid, how would it make sense for Apple to trick you into upgrading?
Plus, of course, the fact that I ran 08 on 10.6 with no issues and so do most people.
And, you know, I am quite familiar with this forum, and yes I see the reports of performance issue. Of course, I actually read the posts and learn that there are many possible reasons for the issue. It's a symptom with several possible causes.
Have you tried creating a library in a new user account? What's the performance like on that?

My computer seems like it runs slower since upgrade.

Is it just me or has mountain lion affected the speed of my computer. I also switched to Firefox and got rid of unneeded stuff so as to clear hard drive space. Loading seems slower, everything seems a little bit slower. I know I should have more than 25 gigs available on the hard drive, but it has been that way even before the upgrade. So no change in that department.
I'm using a 2009 macbook. Can anyone think of any reason besides the hard disk space? I had only 25 gigs before the upgrade and it seemed to be running fine.

How much RAM do you have? More is always better and it is cheap right now

Take a look at this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/five-tips-to-speed-up-your-mac/
Try these steps:
- Shut down your Mac
- Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the Power button
- Right after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key
- Release the Shift key when you see a grey Apple sign and the progress bar below this sign
- Once you see Desktop, start a Disc Utility scan to detect and repair file system errors (don't forget to choose your main hard drive)
- Click on Verify Disc and then, if asked to fix problems, on Repair Disk
- After this, click on Verify Disc Permissions and then on Repair Disc Permissions
- After the process is finished, shut down your Mac and turn it back on after about 30 seconds
Hope this helps!
