Mac is much slower after update

why does it take 3-5 minutes longer to start up my mac after I updated from 10.6.4 to 10.6.6? I noticed that it got slower after I first installed 10.6.5... but its really weird!

the hard drive was failing

When you run out of real RAM you start writing to free hard disk space. This is paging in/out. This is much slower than using real RAM
Add more RAM Basics
Open System Profiler > Hardware
Copy the Serial number and model identifier
Under Memory in System Profiler, you'll see how many slots and what is installed. You need matching pairs. Most likely you will have to replace RAM you have installed unless you have 4 slots and are only using 2 slots.
Go to this page:   http://support.apple.com/specs/
Copy the Serial number in the "Search Tech Specs" search box. This will take you to the info on your computer.
Next using the Identifier and with the knowledge of your exact model and how much RAM you can install, go to this site: (There are several sources for memory. This one has good prices and has the video showing how to install)
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/
You can find install videos here: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Hope this helps!

My mac become more slower after update to Mountainlion
What shoudl I do? can you guys help me? BTW I have update my RAM to 8G
Thank you

What is your Mac?
What did you update from? 10.6 or 10.7?
If from 10.6 or your machine was at 10.5 at one time, it might be too old/slow for 10.8, you might want to revert to 10.6 again.

What do you notice is slower than before? Like Internet or booting or loading programs or UI feel or what exactly?
If it's the Internet, then check this out

Now a fresh install of OS X usually does wonders, this would mean you will need to take acurate account of your installed programs, passwords, export bookmarks and backup all your data to a external storage drive. Keep the boot drive data below 50% filled ideally, (not much for you apprantly, just reduce 50GB of data)
Most commonly used backup methods
Write down your AppleID and password to reinstall 10.8
When your sure, then hold command r boot into Recovery, use Disk Utility to Erase (middle selection) the Macintosh HD partition and wait, it's going to map off fialing sectors. When done quit and reinstall 10.8 fresh and install programs and files from backup into the same named accounts.

That should make things zippy again. Also a #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine
Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is this, it's a defragging/performance speed up step, you won't have to reset everything up again from scracth like a fresh install method does. But it requires paid software and a external drive, but makes a excellent bootable backup in the process that can save your behind one day.

Mac OSX very Slow after update iLife

Dear all;
I just faced problem with my Mac OSX 10.8.4 after upgrade the iLife, the OS freeze then logout from the system
any ideas how to solve this problem?
Regards;

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, or by a peripheral device.
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, 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 andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. 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. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Power mac become stupidly slow after update from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8

Hey people. My Power mac takes on average 3mins 30 to start up after i updated from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 . Before it took on average about 50secs to start up and get a application running. Are any of you experiencing this problem. I have only used 50gigs of space. I have done system recoverys and this still happens

i have checked. it will have the have the white screen where you see the apple logo and the loading cursor. That lasts about 40secs. Then it will it will show the loading bar. Thats lasts about 30secs. then it will show my desktop background image. It takes about 40secs to load my desktop items. then it will take about a min after that to show my username,time,Country flag,Volume control and my wireless icon in the top right hand corner. I have done 4 system restores, my recovery disks start at 10.4.4 it will work fine all the way up until 10.4.8. Is there a major bug in the upgrade or what?

Mac mini 2010 very slow after update to Mavericks

My mac mini 2010 (2.4 Ghz, 8GB ram) is running really very slow after updating to Mavericks.
Clearly OneDrive is a pain... but had it running on ML as well, and though it is a memory and CPU hog, it never really slowed down the system.

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Why is my ipad2 really slow after updating to IOS 6.1.2

Try this.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Mac won't restart after updating to OS X Mountain Lion

Mac won't restart after updating to OS X Mountain Lion. Please help?

Like what happens? Is it just spinning?
If you've waited sufficiently long (say 10 minutes) you could just hit the power button which will do the trick. A little more gentle would be to open a terminal window (if you can) and type 'sudo reboot' (without the quotes) and enter your password when it asks. That will do it too.

I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5

Hello
I have a BookPro 15 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram, that's more slow after updating to X Lion 10.7.5
Is my hardware not good for this new OS ?
Can I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion OS and make it faster ?

Mountain Lion won't make it faster. It may not even be compatible. Speed has a lot to do with what is installed, installation of utilities that actually slow you down, such as MacKeeper, or any cache cleaning softawre. Installation of utilities that you don't need such as anti-virus or firewall software. Peer2peer software. Other devices sharing the same network can slow it down too, make sure your network is secure, and you know what is sharing the network. Some websites may be slower on Safari, and an alternative browser* is needed.
