My mac book pro very slow after update to Yosemite
hi. my mac book very slow after I upgrade to Yosemite. Is anyone like me? How should I do?
Yes, many are like you. Most of them have incompatible or poorly written software or not enough ram though. Download and run EtreCheck http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck and post its result here so that we may get a look at your aystem.

Brand new mac book pro very slow
I just purchased a brand new mac book pro 13" with and i5 processor, 2.3ghz, 4 gb ram, running osX Lion. I bought it to replace my 2008 mac book pro that had a failing hard drive and a bad logic board. So i bought this new mac book 2 days ago, set it up and everything was great until i went to surf the net. My internet is so slow, webpages take ages to load about 5 minutes or more, same with videos (like on youtube). So I tried my old mac book and the internet was running great on that one, same with my roomates old macbook, my boyfriends pc and numerous other devices connected to my wifi (a nook, a tablet, and an iphone). So i checked my network settings everything was good, its was functioning fine according to network diagnostics. After googling this I switched my dns to googles public dns which made no difference either. When plugged directly into the router via ethernet the internet surfs like a champ. If the wireless internet preforms like this my new macbook is somewhat useless to me .Help! What could be the problem? Or did apple just really screw up the airport on these new macs? My old mac was a beast speed wise, i firgure the new mac should put the older ones to shame. What gives?
I suggest use the ethernet cable. They're much faster to transfer. You only need to connect your imac and mbpr directly to each other using the cable. There is no need for the wifi if you connect the ethernet cable.

MacBook Pro late 2011 750GB HD, 8 GB RAM, mountain Lion 10.8.4
I have cleaned 102 gb of rubbish off the account, 1 account is going very slow and unresponsive, I have checked permissions and nothin has came up? 370GB of free space left on the account, I made another account to check if it was the computer but no, that account was very fast? Any ideas?Matthewspencer wrote:

How did you do that?
I made another account to check if it was the computer but no, that account was very fast?
That indicates you have one or more Login items that are causing the slowdowns. Examine your account in System Preferences > Users & Groups. Select your account, then click the Login Items tab. Prevent anything that you do not wish to load when you log in by selecting it and clicking the "–" (minus) button. Merely de-selecting its checkbox does not prevent the app from loading.
You may wish to back up your system before proceeding, so that you can undo any changes you make. -

Step by Step to fix your Mac -
Hi I'm new in this, I'm looking for some help, what i can do if my mac book is getting slower. It was very fast 4 months ago and I didn't installed a lot of stuf in this time and it became slower.
my MB was doing the same thing but only when my computer started, once it started everything ran fince...
to fix the startup i did the following:
turn off your computer, unplugg the power cord, take out the battery, and click the power button for like 5 seconds, then put your battery back in then your powercord and turn it on, that should reset something called vram i think, and that worked for me, you should give it a shot -
Mac Mini boots very slow with Mavericks (after security update)
Hi,
my Mac Mini boots very slow after I've installed Maveriks. I did two clean installs by now, seemed to work OK after the second one but after the latest safety update (2014-002) the boot time is up to 5+ minutes. Starting Safari or other software takes addtional time. See below for system specs, Etrecheck and log. Any ideas what could cause this? According to the update history I did install the security update 2014-002 twice on the same day although I cannot remember doing such a thing.
Thanks Joerg

My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus). How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast
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?
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? -
Why is my mac book pro very sluggish in opening windows/color wheel
why does my Mac Book Pro acting slow when ever I'm working in multiple windows, going back and forth,
it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.
please help, and my 3 year warrant has just expired. please help.Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

If storage space is not the issue, the startup disk may need repairing. Use Lion Recovery

For some reason, pulseaudio is starting very slow on my system, even when it was a fresh install.
I was seeing very bad startup performance with several programs: firefox, hotot, etc. I did an strace on them and found they were stuck on waiting for a PID associated with pulse for about a half minute. When I turned off autospawn in the pulse config file, these programs loaded instantly, even if I put
pulseaudio --start
in my i3 config.
I'm not familiar enough to know how to debug this. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to get more information?
My sound devices are the integrated audio from my motherboard (Intel), my Nvidia graphics card, and my webcam (HD Dualpix).Hi..
Not enough free space on the disk can slow the system down.
Click your Apple menu 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.
Try removing login items. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items.
And go to HD > Library > StartupItems. Remove all items from the StrartupItems folder.
Check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Be aware, OS X Recovery requires a high speed broadband connection.
And backup all your important files before repairing or restoring OS X just in case. -
My macbook starting very slow i want to factory reset
my macbook starting very slow i want to factory reset
Hello sallay Amir,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you would like to erase your MacBook Pro and install a new copy of OS X, but the Mac does not boot to OS X Recovery when you hold the Command + R keys during startup.
If your Mac came with OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, I recommend referring to the steps in this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install - Apple Support
For a newer Mac (OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite), try reinstalling OS X by using Internet Recovery, as described in the "OS X Internet Recovery" section on this page:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy -
My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect to the net
My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect the net. Also wondering how do I check if my software is up to date? Thank you.
To check to see if your software is up to date, go to >Software Update and you can check for updates.
No idea why your Mac is slow--there could be a variety of things that could cause slowness. A good start would be to see if all your RAM is recognized. >About this Mac will show you how much RAM you have. You can also open Activity Monitor and check your RAM usage.
Also, how full is your hard drive? You should have a minimum of 10% free space for the OS to operate properly, and 15% to 20% is better.
No idea why you have to reboot to connect to the internet, but it could be related to the slowness. Rebooting will free up RAM among other things.
Which MBP do you have and which version of the OS are you running? -
Mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups
mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening
Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening
Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least. -
my mac startup is very slow, it goes white for long before showing user account, how do i cure this illness?
1) System Preferences > Startup Disk ...
to set your correct Stratup Disk AND
2) Run one pass of Disk Utility "Repair Disk" from another source such as by booting to Recovery_HD OR
Restart in Safe Mode (which does the "Repair Disk" as it starts up).

Lately all i-tunes upgrades have crashed on Windows 7 and disabled the older version. It usually takes weeks for Apple to fix the problem. Is there a simple way around this issue, short of not upgrading till months after the new release?
