System running slow since installing yosemite

thanks,
todd

I've also done the Etre Check report and would be grateful for any help.

There's also a process called "defaults", which I can't seem to find the origin. If never seen a process named like that. Maybe someone else knows. It might be linked to the symantec though.
Also, either disable Time Machine, or set it up again, because it's not working.
More over, a system preference file is constantly crashing called "cfprefsd", which is linked to an app using a Cocoa Framework (I might be talking Chinese to you, but some may understand). I can't find any help regarding this particular crash, but reinstalling OS X should solve the issue (To reinstall OS X, follow the steps described on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18872 ) -
Mac book pro running slow since installing yosemite
hello
since I have installed yosemite on my 2012 mac book pro most things are VERY LAGGY and slow things don't close I have to hard power the machine down is there any way to do a system restore back to mavericks ??
this yosemite is crap
mickHi ..
Make sure to quit all open applications prior to shutting down your Mac.
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
If there's enough free storage space, open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items there.
Same with: HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac.
And check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X. -
Fan runs constantly after installing replacement battery
I received my replacement batteries on a timely basis, charged them as instructed and get proper running time from them.
My issue is that suddenly the fan runs almost perpetually. I have zapped the PRAM, stared at the console utility looking for a problem, and watched activity monitor. All seem normal.
The CPU now runs at 140-142 degrees all the time. It would spike there occassionaly before but only when I knew I was pushing hard. Even connected to AC hoping that will vent the machine better has not helped.
Is it the replacement battery or just coincidence? Suggestions appreciated.You might also try a different battery if you have access to one. Unfortunately, many of the replacement batteries being shipped by Apple are defective. They don't fit properly into the battery bay. I suspect that if the quality control is this poor, then it seems likely that other problems will arrise as well. Check carefully that the battery itself is not overheating. Another possibility which also happened to me is that after installing the last upgrade to the operating system, one or more of the third party widgets became problematic, causing the same problem you describe. After removing all third party widgets, the problem stopped. Good Luck

Fan running constantly since Mavericks...
Since I installed Mavericks my Macbook Pro is running hotter & the fan seems to be on constantly, anyone else had this & know what's going on & what I can do to shut it up?
Try a SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If there is no improvement, open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set % CPU to display values fro high to low. Look for applications that may be taking a lot of CPU resources. You can shut them down if they are not root activities.
Ciao. -
Macbook Pro 2011 - running slow after installing Yosemite
Can anyone help me - my late 2011 Macbook Pro is running very slow since installing Yosemite. Also my Microsoft Office for Excel is not allowing me to type into cells - I can copy and paste but not add new text.
I have run the Etre diagnostic app (as suggested on another thread) and these are the results I get. Can anyone help - or do I have to uninstall Yosemite and how would I do this?

Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?
Thank you Thomas
First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while. -

Since installing yosemite my computer/screen blacks out, but still running
Since installing yosemite last week, my computer/screen blacks out, but still running. I have since rebooted everything, started from scratch and utilizing my external drive transferred all files/apps back. Did not help, in fact it is getting worse. Computer screen blacks out every 5 min or so and have to power up again. Also, continue to get Java message updates even after all have been updated over and over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Macbook Pro fan running constantly and CPU running slow
So, I have a Macbook Pro 2010 2.3 i7 that has started running really slow and the fan is running constantly.
In activity monitor it shows a kernel_task running constantly at around or above 200%.
I have tried all the regular tasks. PRam reset, SMC reset and nothing seems to fix it.
I have also tried a system reinstall to no avail.
Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but from what I have read, the kernel_task might be trying to slow my CPU down because it thinks it is being overworked?
Maybe the fans are also being activated because it thinks the computer is too hot?
Anyway, if anyone has any idea as to what I can do to figure out what is going on, let me know. ThanksHere is the EtreCheck results:

Cooling fan runs constantly on Tecra A3
I have a Tecra A3 an my fans runs constantly, even when idleing, and it has done this since i got it (about 18 months ago). It also runs at a constant rate, and it's just like hear Arnold talk - very annoying. Sometimes one (?) of the fans stopp running for just a couple a seconds, and then it starts again, back to the same speed. I've had the computer in for repairs, and they changed the fan and cleand the cooling system, but this didn't make things better, well, okay, I got rid of the ratteling sound, but that was all!
I've tried everything i can think of, currently I'm running the computer fixed on the lowest setting for the processor speed and battery optimized cooling by the help of the Power Saver utility, but it doesn't seem to help at all. I also tried setting the processor speed to low in the BIOS setup, this made some difference, and the fan stayed of for periods of up to 30 seconds (!), bur the performance of the computers performance was horrible with these settings so I had to change it back to dynamic processor speed.
As for the the temeratures i get at temperature of about 36-37 degrees celsius (95-97 degrees Fahrenheit) for the HD temperature (using speedfan). So theres no problems with overheating (?). This leads me to believe that this might be due to a bug in the software. I'm currently using a norwegian install of Windows XP with SP2, it's a custom install, provided by my university (my computer is a student PC bought through the university).
So, can anyone help my make my computer quiet, like normal, sane computers ?!
Thanks in advance for any help!Hello Stigs
I use Tecra notebook (M1) for years and I can tell you that this model is really one of quietest notebooks I know but it is definitely no utterly quiet and cooling fan runs almost constantly but on slowest level. I know that it has nothing with your problem but I just want to say that quietest notebook produces noises.
Reading your posting I can just say that you are probably right when you say that it can not be because of hardware because the notebook temperature is OK and there is no sign of overheating. The fact is that all newer notebooks are louder than some old models and Tecra A3 is one of them and unfortunately there is no much to do. As far as I know nobody has reported about any software bug till now. Many bugs are fixed by BIOS updates and all I can recommend you, is to check if new BIOS version is available and see if this can help. Please before you start with BIOS update read carefully Instructions how to do this.
Good luck! -
Mac mini slow startup since installing yosemite
I have a late 2012 mac mini and before installing Yosemite it would take just a few seconds to start up when I turned it on. Now since installing Yosemite it is a lot slower to start up, and i get a "progress bar" when I turn it on, which I never had when running Mavericks. Any ideas how to fix this?

Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite
Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.
sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!...
However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.
