IPhoto is very slow after Mavericks upgrade

I'm running a 27" mid-2011 iMac with 4 GB memory and I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I've had a chance to load iPhoto 11 (9.5) a few times now and it does so slowly each time. I have about 33k+ photos/videos and they're stored on my main hard drive. Basically, iPhoto slows to a crawl and lags when I try to scroll up/down or try to view photos. In addition, my iMac exhibits the same behavior when I try to switch between applications, run Spotlight search, or load a page within my browser. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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. It will be slow, but maybe not as slow.
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • IMac 2008 running very slow after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded to Mavericks not long after it was released and my machine has been struggling since.  It's very slow for normal everyday computing - and I actually had to stop using certain programs, like Chrome.  Chrome would get stuck just trying to load google - and I would get stuck with a spinning beach ball for upwards of 5 minutes.  I've switched to Safari and that's helped - but when switching applications, the system still really struggles.  It makes multi-tasking very challening.
    I downloaded EtreCheck, could anyone help me out to interpret the results?  Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
    Thanks!

  • My Macbook pro (early 2011)become very slow after maverick install

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro (early 2011) has become very slow after installing Maverick.
    System is struggling to open any web pages, apps etc.. Even booting time is more than 5 mins. My macbook has 8 GB Ram and 750GM memory and also got 200GB of free space memory..
    Could you please advice me on this. Thanks

    etresoft  a long time contributer to Apple Support Communities wrote a very useful app he called etrecheck which helps in diagnosing many problems caused by third party installs etc.. Go to his website, read his information and from there download and run the program according to his instructions

  • Mac slow after Mavericks Upgrade

    I recently upgraded my mac to Mavericks and now it is running very slow, and constantly rainbow wheeling? Is there something I can do to fix this. I just bought my Mac in August of 2013 so its basically new. It is especially bad in preview, it will freeze on screen and not let me move the document up or down, and typing is delayed. Also on Safari it was very delayed?
    Thank you,

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the suggestion of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking  anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in 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.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The script will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
    If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the output, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • IPhoto and iMovie gone after Mavericks upgrade

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and lost ALL of my applications.  I finally have most everything back in order, but iPhoto and iMovie are gone and now the App Store says I need to purchase them.
    Why should I have to purchase them when I already own them from the purchase of my MacBook Pro? Getting a free Mavericks upgrade should not cause me to have to spend $30 to get the applications back that I already owned in the first place.
    Please help me restore those two applications.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    so please read my responce
    2 - to get them back you reinstall from the original source - which may be the restore disk that came with your computer, a purchased iLife upgrade or the app store using the Apple ID  you used to set your computer up
    Maybe it is clearer using bullet points rather that standard English puncuation
    To get them back you reinstall from the original source
    which may be
    1 - The restore disk that came with your computer,
    2 - a purchased iLife upgrade or
    3 - the app store using the Apple ID  you used to set your computer up - in this case you go to the App store under purchases
    Only you know what the original source is
    As as to who should pay for yoru mistake  --  obviously if your mistake creates a cost then you should pay the cost you created - pretty simple stuff
    As to Time Machine - yes they should be there but it is better to reinstall them - copying from a backup dose not work well for applications

  • Computer is very slow after maverick installation

    I downloaded and installed maverick 10.9.4 last week, and my MacBook Pro (early 2009) has been running very slowly ever since (and only in Safe Mode).
    I have read through several discussions that others have been having, and tried some of the recommended solutions but my machine is still not running well.
    I have noticed an EtreCheck report is often requested and I will copy that report below (This was run while computer was in Safe Mode, again the machine is not functional unless it is in Safe Mode).
    Some general observations:
    Web browsing causes the computer screen to flicker until the web page has load, then it stops until I move the mouse or try to click on anything at which point it starts to flicker again.
    Using programs (microsoft, adobe, ect.) take a little longer to load up and save but generally seem to respond to typing in a normal way.
    My battery will not charge past 80% (this is new since installing maverick) even while plugged in. The machine hibernates normally and when it does battery life appears to run down at a normal rate. I mention this because I'm guessing some system is running inappropriately, draining the battery, and perhaps slowing the machine down???
    Again all of the above are in Safe Mode. When the machine is not in Safe Mode, it takes about an hour for the machine to load to the point that my docking station, clock, and desk top icons appear. After this nothing progresses past the rainbow wheel of death. I have not been able to open a file, folder, or application.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • My macbook pro 13'' boots very slow after mavericks update, and after booting its loads for a long time

    Processor:     2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7
    Memory:        8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    HDD:             1TB (5400rpm)
    Graphics:       Intel HD Graphics 4000
    OS:               OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes   after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract—not at the end.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entirecontents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • MBP slow after Mavericks upgrade?

    Ever since installing Mavericks (or maybe it's unrelated, who knows) my MBP just seems sluggish. My impression is that the sluggishness is related to disk IO. I've thought about upgrading to an SSD since I know that would help, but I think it would jsut be masking whatever the underlying issue is here (barring hardware failure). Below is my EtreCheck output. Any ideas?

    I don't see anything that is among the usual culprits, but you do have a lot of 3rd party software installed and loaded. You might try removing some of it using the developer's uninstall instructions. You also might try running fewer programs at the same time or increasing your RAM.

  • Macbook Pro is running slow after mavericks upgrade

    Hello everyone,
    I recently downloaded the last update of Mavericks on my Macbook pro (13 inch, mid 2012).
    Since the upgrade, my mac has been incredibly slow... I have tried different things including: completely re downloading and installing mavericks, running the apple hardware test (both short and long tests), I have tried to fix it through resetting the macbook to factory settings. None of my attempts were successful.
    The Hardware:
    Mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
    Running OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
    2,5 GHz intel Core I5
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    The Problem:
    I updated Mavericks to its last version (10.9.4) and all of a sudden my macbook became super slow. It had no problem before, even under Mavericks, so my guess was it is a problem linked to this last version...
    What I've Done Thus Far:
    - Apple Hardware Tests (both long and short): All passed
    - Reinstalled Mavericks
    - Restoring to factory settings
    Any suggestions on what do to?
    Thank you!
    Nathan.
    ps: I ran EtreCheck, here are the stats.

  • MBP running very slow since Mavericks upgrade - etrecheck included

    I've read through a number of answers, but still having the same problem. Since upgrading to Mavericks in October, my MBP has been slow. Ot goes through periods of being OK, but recently perfomance has degraded again. Any suggestions more than welcome - I feel like I'm running Windows 95 on a Pentium machine...

  • MPB mid-2010 very slow after Yosemite upgrade from Snow Leopard

    I updated my MPP (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard to Yosemite some weeks back. It is painfully slow since, particularly when Mail is open. I attach the etrecheck output below, but would really appreciate any help in recovering what was not-so-long-ago a very useful machine.
    EtreCheck version: 2.1.5 (108)

    Your Mac has been considerably altered from its factory configuration. Given certain modifications, some of which are described below, it is not reasonable to expect it to operate properly.
    1. Back up your Mac. Your report indicates the last backup was performed a month ago. No more backups can be created because the backup volume's capacity is insufficient.
    2. Uninstall any McAfee products. Your Mac cannot operate properly with it installed.
    One or both of these removal instructions may be applicable.
    How to install or uninstall McAfee Internet Security for Mac
    How to uninstall and reinstall McAfee Agent 4.x on Macintosh computers
    3. Your Mac has been affected by MacPaw "CleanMyMac". Uninstall it, but beware its uninstallation instructions are not completely effective. Depending on exactly what you used it to do, a complete erasure and reconfiguration may be required.
    4. Update OS X. Open the App Store and install all Apple recommended updates.
    5. If you require a VPN I recommend OS X's native VPN, not Cisco's flawed implementation of it.
    6. If you elect to use Adobe Flash Player you must keep it maintained. The version installed is outdated.
    7. If you elect to use Google's products you must accept the detrimental effects they will have on a Mac's performance.
    8. Adware is installed and will interfere with Internet browsing. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.

    Everything was fine until I upgraded from 10.7 to 10.9, now runs like a dog.
    It'll work for a few seconds, and then stops for twice as long with the BBOD, then it comes to life again.
    Any ideas would be fabulous.
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably:
    Virtual Box
    Logmein (note the failed launch agent, which means it was incompatible, and that it loads a ton of background processes)
    and Perian isn't supported by the developer anymore.
    The Google keystone daemon is known for slowing down macs with excessive phoning home. See  HOWTO: Remove Google Software Update on Mac OS X - Raam Dev
    I'd uninstall those for starters.
    And I'd get rid of as many of the other background processes as you can.
    4 GB of RAM is probably not enough with all this stuff running all the time, particularly with emulation software. You can never have too much RAM.
    A quick way to test this theory is a safe boot: (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). This does some diagnostic testing and then starts up without third-party added on software.   Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

  • IMovie, IPhoto won't update after Mavericks upgrade from OSX 10.06

    Upgraded to Mavericks, iMovie won't update, says, "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." And then I get a null error.
    However, I am using the only apple ID I have to sign in to the app store.

    You can update for free to version 9.5.1 in the App store

  • IPhone 4 (CDMA) very slow after iOS7 upgrade

    Upgraded over the weekend to iOS7 a process that took several hours only to regret that decision.  My iPhone has never been so slow, the battery power is not what it used to be, sometimes I can text and send pictures, some times I can't.  Some apps work, some don't and visually, the OS looks cluncky  Are you trying to copy Microsoft's boxy design?
    I decided to downgrade back to iOS 6, only to learn that I couldn't.  What a mess.  Apple used to stand for easy, plug it in and go. Usually the bigest challenge was trying to figure out how to open up the box.  Not anymore....
    Apple, please do us all a favor and allow users of older generation devices to downgrade from this aweful platform. 

    Apple, please do us all a favor
    Who are you talking to? We are not Apple.  Apple doesn't read these posts.
