macbook air suddenly running slow. Closed all applications, rebooted, doesn't solve the problem. Any ideas?

It's very likely that your boot drive is failing. Back up all data immediately and schedule a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding..

MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding after every 30 seconds. I have tested by hardware test nothing wrong with hardware. I am worried Because I am totally stuck with my macbook pro Help me Please !!! I have tested by creating guest account and also new account as administrator. same thing happened. apps running. I opened activity monitor and watched carefully when any app stucked, In activity monitor there is in front of ap name following text appeared : (Not Responding) in red color. 129GB free memory, 4 GB RAM Core i3 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
Instant help needed..
Thanks in ADVANCE !!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
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.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
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 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 System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
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 (command-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.

MacBook Air is getting hot when external monitor is connected - restart solves the problem

I have a two weeks old Mac Book Air 11" (128GB / 4GB / i5). Sometimes when I connect it to my external monitor, the FAN is getting loud and the MacBook becomes very warm on the surface near the "F3 button". The activity monitor says CPU is at 0-1% and there's no process that causes any CPU load (I switched to "show all processes" of course). Nevertheless something makes the Mac becoming hot. A simple restart while the external monitor is connected solves the issue completely, temperature and fan speed are instantly decreasing. Is this a issue related to the graphics driver? For me it seems the behavior is caused by the graphics processor rather than by the i5 CPU as activity monitor does not show any process causing high CPU load.
Known issue?
Thanks!

I was runnig into the same problem. Plugging in to the apple 23" display at work worked well, but when I plugged in my Dell 23" at home the fan started being noisy...
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: it seems to me that putting the air to into SLEEP MODE and back solves it as well!!
I will confirm later on.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.

My Macbook Air is running slow with Yosemite.
I checked out most of the blogs and everything and have removed widgets from the notification center, but everything seems to run kinda slowly.
Sure, i have the base model 2014 macbook air but that 4 gb ram should run a freakin finder just fine. I had Mavericks installed before, and with that, i could do everything. I even made cool music in GarageBand and nothing was lagging for me. Now i installed Yosemite... Everything is lagging. Scrolling seems like it happens around 10 FPS. That aint good man. Memory cleaner says around 1gb ram free when only the finder is running in the background (before it did around 2). I just uninstalled Memory Cleaner o I'm not looking at that little amount of memory. I don't know what to do now? I would appreciate it, if someone would help me. Otherwise, ill just wait for a new update.

Since it's new I would take it back for repair or exchange under your warranty before bothering to read further.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

My MacBook Air is running SLOW!

My MacBook Air is running so slow! Any ideas on how to fix? In my PC days I could defrag etc, but not sure how to help a Mac. I am running OS Lion 10.7.4

Hi-- I have the same issue so if you don't mind, I'm going to paste answers to everything you wrote above even though it wasn't my original post. Thanks!
Answers in BLUE
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.
Google Chrome - 7.2%, but it fluctuates-- sometimes the highest is calendar agent at 17.2%, or kernel task at 2.7%
2.5% user; 2.38% system; 94.12% idle
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Page outs: 38.93 GB
Swap used: 22.01 GB
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec andWrites out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Reads in/sec: fluctuates from 0-369
Writes out/sec: fluctuates 0-204 but both of these are generally at or around 0 and greatly fluctuate as I'm typing
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. 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.

My macbook air is running slow when playing movies

anyone! my macbook air is running low when playing movies and I also noticed when opening certain websites, any suggestions on how clean the computer or fix the issue!
Thank you much

Hi ana1773gar,
I understand your MacBook Air is not performing as expected. The following article provides troubleshooting steps which can help with performance issues:
OS X Yosemite: If your Mac runs slowly
If you find your Mac is running slowly, there are a number of potential causes that you can check.
An app you’re using may require more memory than your computer has easily available. To see how much memory your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, then click Memory. See the help that came with the app to see its system requirements.
To find out how to increase your computer’s memory, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, click Memory, then click Memory Upgrade Instructions in the lower-left corner. documentation that came with the app to its system requirements.
To see what processor your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, then click Overview.
To see what graphics card your computer has, choose Apple menu > About This Mac, then click Displays. The name of the graphics card in your computer is displayed in the middle of the window.
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, move files to another disk, then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk.
Quit any apps you’re not using.
If you have problems with your disk, use Disk Utility to verify and try and fix any issues.
Use Activity Monitor to see if a particular app or activity is making a large demand on your Mac.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Why is my macbook pro suddenly runs slow on mac os X 10.6.7?

Hello..i'm using Macbook Pro running on Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz with 4 Gb of memory on Mac Os X 10.6.7. I have sufficient amount of harddisk and have already clear my cache and run disk repair. However my laptop still runs slow. It happens suddenly where i the time to boot up my comp becomes longer. Now i even have problems running applications where sometimes it just hangs there. All the programs seems to be running slow. Does not anyone having the same problem?Is it something wrong with 10.6.7?Hope anyone out there can help!Very much appreciated!

Same here, I have a 15" MBP, 2.54 ghz mid 2009 running on 10.6.7. After updating to 10.6.7 my MBP s it is very slow to start, slow when launching apps and slow with typing inside of apps. And Safari is very slow when launching a new tab our navigating to a new URL. I have cleaned font caches, made extra disk space, repaired the volume, repaired permissions all to no avail. I use to show off the MBP to my windows users but now I am just embarrassed a they ask me "what's wrong with you laptop?" I turned off a couple of cpu softwares too such as Boom and carbonite and my cpu is never above 9% with an occasional spike to 50% on some larger software launches which is infrequent for me. Disk activity seem normal too around 10 - 27% access. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My Macbook air is running slow and adware pop up eveytime I search for somthing online. Help!

For the past week my Macbook air has been running slow and the are ads that pop up with everything I search for through firefox. I even try and open netflix on my laptop and an adware pop up comes up with it. There are many different pop ups but the one that follows is the one that pops up most. One day it is Mac OS browser warning the next day it is windows browser warning. Do I call the number on the pop up, it says I have a virus or is it a scam? help me, I don't know what to do.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
and
           com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. 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.

My macbook air is running slow. What can i do?

My Macbook air is a couple years old and I find it is running really slow. Is there anything I can do to clean it or programs to purchase that will do this for me?

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

☞ 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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

MacBook Pro suddenly running slow - need it fixed by tonight

I've had my Pro for over a year now, and usually don't have any problems. However, about a week ago it started running slowly out of nowhere - I can't run one simple task without the colour wheel appearing for several minutes before the command finally goes through.
I have tried everything - deleting old files, uninstalling applications I no longer use, the "purge" command on terminal, restarting several times, and nothing seems to be working.
Is there any solution that can get this fixed for tonight?
(I want to avoid installing a third party program if at all possible.)

There are multiple things you can do in software to look for things that will slowdown your Mac. If it slowed down and you have not made any software changes or loaded any new software then it might indicate a disk going bad. You can check for that at Kappy’s suggestions "Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs” at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5635990?tstart=0

HT1941 My MacBook Air was running slow and shut off

Hi. My MacBook Air was loading pages too slow a for few days then closed down. Now, I can not restart it. Do I need a new battery? I had been deleting cookies also, mostly 3rd party ones, when this happened.
Thanks for any help. I'm new at this.

Does it start when the power adapter is connected?
Try a SMC reset:

If no success, an Apple store genius bar appointment is the best option.
Ciao.

ICloud Sync on my Macbook Air tells me "Waiting" in all applications

I cannot open any document from the cloud (not with Pages, Keynotes, Numers or Textedit).
I see the documents but all documents are in status "Waiting"
Can anyone help please?
THX

You icloud storage does not store photos, use some other service for storing photos, like Dropbox.
There is a service in icloud called Photo Stream that temporarily stores photos - but this is for syncing photos from one device to another, it's not a photo storage service (it only keeps photos for up to 30 days).
For the most part, icloud is a syncing service. For example, if you have a Pages document, you can store it on icloud so that other devices can access it and edit it. But that document is also store locally on your mac.

MacBook Pro suddenly running slow

I used to be able to mulit function, moving from multiple screens quickly without any delays in action. Now I have to wait patiently for things to "keep up". I have always backed up to my time capsule, but I am (and will) be away from the capsule for 4 months and not able to do a back up. Is this causing the lag problem?

Try a safe boot:

Any change?
Ciao.

The Macbook Air is running on a 1.6Ghz processor speed, what are the side affects to this significantly low speed?

Why would one prefer the MBA over the Pro when, at the same price (Air at 11inch and Pro at 13inch), the Pro seems to excel?
What is more important? Flash storage or the hard drive storage? (yes I am hinting at the fact that Air has the flash and Pro has the hard drive) Say that I am using Macbook for daily usage, not much heavy lifting operations but would still like the opportunity to do something more than simple with my computer if necessary

This is an Apples/Oranges question. The MBA is a easy to tote, on the go computer whereas the 13" MBP is more of a workhorse, but a relative heavyweight compared to the 2.5lb MBA. And then there's the storage, 128GB verses 500 GB. If you only will have one computer, I would say go with the MBP. And with a bigger screen to boot.
That said, I am getting rid of my MBP and have switched to the 11" MBA. I did get the 1.8Ghz upgrade along with the I7 upgrade. IMHO, with the SSD, my little MBA has some real "pop".
If you want my 11" MBA, you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.
Disclaimer: I also have a home 21.5 iMac for the big home jobs.

Can anyone help me with this error message? I have run a permissions repair but it didn't solve the problem.

No permissions to write to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Commands/Home/lib/ext
This is the error message I get when trying to update a 3D viewer plugin for the IMAGE J (FIJI) software. This is a brand new system running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. has anyone else gotten this error message, and could you give me any advice?
Thanks
Leah

You need root privileges to modify that system folder. Actually, it shouldn't be modified at all, except by Apple. Whatever installer you're using is defective.
