Installed Mavericks.  Computer runs slow

Since installing Mavericks, my computer is running very slow.  The browsers (Chrome, Safari) take forever, and Aperture  grinds away looking for the images.  Am I missing something?

Have you rebooted since the upgrade?

  • After installing Mavericks, computer is slow and applications are slow to open

    Mavericks has slowed my IMAC to a crawl. Applications are slow to open. Disc burning is slow as well as photo editing. Any Idea's

    We need more info about your iMac other than "My iMac is running slow."
    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    To find out info about your system, click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.   Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs. Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive.
    How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
    Conpletely uninstall any virus software you have installed following the anti-virus deveolper's instructions.
    Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?
    Another her possibilty is that some hardware, like your iMac's hard drive, could be failing.

    Hi Jon,
    Dreamweaver the following errors show up in the JavaScript.Log. I deleted the .dat file but no difference. I am not so confident in how to delete the preference file. I have been following the instructions (see link)
    https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs6-cc.html
    Windows:
    ~Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (folder)
    \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 (registry entry)
    When Dreamweaver launches, it creates new preferences files and folder.
    How do I get rid of these errors?

    Try renaming the configuration folder that holds the .dat file first, before attempting to restore preferences.
    Many times that will take care of it without having to do all the work required after a pref-reset.

  • After completing the OS X Mavericks everything runs slow

    After completing the OS X Mavericks everything runs slow.  Programs, menus and files.  When I click on them it is like they hesitate to open.  Programs are slow at opening and working with them.

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    Serious slowdowns, if not due to a hard drive failing, are caused by unnecessary third-party software. Please answer the following questions:

  • Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

    Since installing Maverick, speed has slowed down considerably. Not able to export photos form email to iphoto. What is going on?

    When did you install?
    Spotlight will need to re-index the entire system so that can cause slow performance if you updated recently. It can take many hours on a large disk with a lot of data. Click the Spotlight menu, it should say if it is still indexing.
    There is no point trying to fix anything whilst this is ongoing, because it may just speed up when complete.
    Are you able to drag photos from email to the Desktop or to iPhoto's icon? How about the 'File menu > Save attachments' option?
    Please clarify what you have tried, otherwise we may waste time on the wrong thing.
    If the system is generally unstable there are other things to try too, such as safe boot.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    That will isolate all third party software, if the Mac is able to do the things that didn't work it suggests that you have software that is loading at startup or login. The easiest way for us to see these is if you download EtreCheck & generate a report.
    Post the report here & we can try pointing to items that you can either update or remove.

    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.

  • Mavericks is making my computer run slow

    Since I updated my Mavericks my computer is running slow. I have done all the tricks. I brought it into the mac store and they said I have 55% free memory but I get the spinning wheel of death when i try typing it takes forever. Programs dont open or they take forever. Never had this issue until I updated Mavericks. I can applejack, did the shift control option hold power and the option command-p-r hold power. repaired disks, cleaned out system caches, re-installed osx?? What is the next step. apple said "well it may just be mavericks sorry! You may just need to buy more memory even though it says you have plenty." I'll type a few words and the spinny wheel comes up and the words don't appear on the page until about 30 seconds later. Any tricks, advice etc. Tey told me to go to this website http://www.crucial.com  and to install two 4 gb in the slots instead of the 2 gb I have in each slot. For stroage, under about this mac it says i have 163.18 out of GB of 319.21 GB free.  Thank you so much

  • After installing Lion, my computer runs slow and freezes a lot...like a PC

    Arg!!!   After upgrading to Snow leopard and then Lion so that I could use i Cloud, my macbook is running slower than a 1998 Dell.  All my programs are freezing, it takes me minutes to change websites in my browser and I have to force quit EVERY program when I want to shut down.  WTH?!?  Help!

    I'm experiencing increased slowness as well, but I wouldnt say my MacBook Pro is "older." I'm running a MBP with the Sandy Bridge Intel Core i7 2.3 GHz, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR Ram, and a AMD Radeon HD 6750M video card with 1024 MB of dedicated video memory.
    I've tried fixing permissions and repairing the disk, but still the computer is a lot slower than when was running Snow Leopard.
    Are there any other options besides buying a only slightly faster, but newer computer?

  • Why does my computer run slower with Aperture installed

    I installed Aperture on my MacBook Pro and now it runs slow when the program is open. 

    Nikon,
    Aperture does lots of background processing after you first install it.  It is likely that Aperture is performing some of this processing as soon as you open it now.  You can get a good feeling for what it is doing if you show the Activity with {Command}-{Shift}-0.
    You may have to let Aperture crunch away for hours or even overnight before it is done.

  • Why is my computer running slow since upgrading to os x yosemite?

    I upgraded my MacBook 13" Aluminum (2008) to OS X Yosemite earlier this year, and ever since, my computer has not been as fast as it was on OS X Mountain Lion or before.  It ran fine then, but my speed has fallen harshly.  Is there a way to make my computer operate faster?

    Etrecheck – System Information
    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.

    Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
    Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
    Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
    Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
    Change the address of the other device.
    Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.
