Is anyone else's computer performing worse after upgrading to Mavericks?

My laptop's battery life has decreased by at least a fourth and my computer now takes forever to load anything whether it's just loading a webpage or trying to open a program such as Pages or iTunes. Everything is just so much slower. My laptop also starts heating up faster and is loader than it has ever been after making the switch. OSX Lion was much better in my opinion. I have tried reparing permissions in disk utililty and that made my laptop perform better for about 30 minutes and then it went back to running like crap.
Please if anyone else has had this problem and has fixed it, please let me know a solution, I've been using a Dell now because my MacBook Pro isn't performing well enough.
Thanks!

Check Activity Monitor and sort by %CPU to see if any processes are hogging memory.
If mds and mdshelper are hard at work, that's Spotlight indexing, and after a few hours things should speed-up.
Also try Safari->Reset Safari

Anyone else having trouble with Elements after upgrading to Yosemite???

I recently upgraded my Mac to Yosemite and now my Elements 12 is not working correctly!!!! Anyone else having this issue or have any answers?

I would suggest you trash the prefs file so that they get automatically re-built on next launch.
Quit PSE12
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following files:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Settings

Has anyone else lost their iTunes app after upgrading to ios7

When upgrading to iOS 7 I lost everything and had to start from factory settings on my ipad2. I've recovered everything except the iTunes app. I have an app named "Music" and I have the iTunes Store app. I tried going to Ap Store to download it and it states that iPads already come with iTunes... Well mine's gone after the upgrade. Does anyone have suggestions?

Has anyone else been experiencing CPU panics after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

Mac Pro, 8 core mid 2010, 32 GB RAM, 6 TB storage
Before upgrading to ML, I ran it in Parallels as a VM with no problems. However, once I upgraded, I began to get CPU panics. The core dump doesn't really point to a culprit. I am using Apple approved RAM, all matched pairs at the same speed and I've not added fiber channel to my system yet. I am running four to five VM's at a time and, during the time of panics, I was not compiling any code.
I've seen similar threads throughout the forums, so I am thinking that this is an OS level issue with a patch coming out at warp speed but I am curious as to wheither or not anyone has found the "smoking gun", the actual trigger for the panics.

Many thanks to the hatter. Parallels, it seems is the culprit. I am going to try to find a workaround but this ***** majorily.

Anyone else having wi-fi issues after upgrading Macbook Air to Yosemite?

We just upgraded brand new Macbook Air to Yosemite, and are now have the most sluggish internet imaginable. Any Ideas?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
Are you connected to Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi? If so, disconnect the Ethernet cable or adapter and test.
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

Is anyone else having iPhoto spinning ball after upgrading to the 27''

iPhoto has become really sluggish and clumsy in editing, transiting to the next photo viewing, even sizing the window. All this since changing from the 24 to the 27. No new app/internet/ add-ons. Deleted the iPhoto preferences. Using an ethernet cable rather than wireless (although it is enabled). And yes there is the flash choppy-slowdown and Safari intermittent sluggishness too. I migrated all my previous settings. Finally I know this isn't the iPhoto discussion but thought its inclusion here was justified relative to the new iMac. I'm really relying on the next 10.6 point upgrade as a resolution. Thanks. d

iPhoto seems OK, but iMovie seems very sluggish in my case...

Why is my computer running slower after upgrading to Maverick?

So my computer seems to be running slower, doing anything at all after I installed the newest OS, Maverick. Anyone have an idea as to why that might be? What can I do to make it better?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I found this other discussion below. Thanks.

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.

My computer is slow after upgrading to mavericks

I just did the free upgrade to mavericks and now my laptop is running slow...ugh!!
ran sophos for any threads and it was all clear. any suggestions???

I am having the same issue with a year old iMac with an i7 and 12 gig of mem. The system is incredibly slow and is virtually unusable. Activity monitor shows most of the applications are not taking large percentages of processor loads.. But I get unresponsive applications and beach ball just doing simple things. Even clicks on button and such can have anywhere form a half second t a five second delay from time to time and it lasts for a few minutes. Disutility running repair permissions has no effect. Extreemly frustrating.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

Has anyone else lost their scroll bars after downloading the newest version of IOS?

What does the iPhone/iPad OS have to do with Mavericks?
Mavericks does remove the scroll bars as they are not needed, but you can set them to show always in the General System Prefs.

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.

Hi,
After upgrading to Mavericks, all my mail folders in Mail are gone. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix this. I only use the apple Mail, not anything else like gmail etc. Its very frustrating as I had importantant documents there.
