HT1338 What can I do about MacBook becoming slower?
What can I do about MacBook OS X Lion 10.7.5 becoming slower? Particulary notice on startup, but now see it in Safari and ITunes.
Are you using any bluetooth devices?

Ever since I installed OS X Yosemite on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro, it has started becoming slower and slower and glitching out. Is there any way to fix this? Here is my diagnostics:

Don't be put off by the 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 act on 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 the return 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 return three 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 what happened. 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 10.6.8 has become slow in recent days
My Macbook pro has become slow in recent days. I have installed Macafee internet security software and not sure whether this is slowing down my system. Especially Safari has become really slow. The videos stuck, when another webpage gets loaded in another tab. The rainbow circle keeps appearing oftern in safari. The pages are very slow in response, even scrolling takes a good minute or two. The applications are taking more time to load. I admired my mac for its quick response, but snow leopard has turned into a snow turtle.
I also finger McAffee as the culprit, it's not necessary on Mac's as of 10.6.8+ Apple installed their own anti-OS X malware detector and it checks for updates like every 26 hours or so.
If you need to clean the Windows malware off their files, the free ClamXav does the job nicely and doesn't bugger up the machine as it's run as you need it.
For your other slowdown issues, I suggest you look through these tips of mine, my Snow Leopard is incredibly fast.

My Macbook is becoming slow after 3 years. (Advice Needed)
Hi Guys,
I have had my Macbook Pro for around 3 years now.... It's starting to become slow.... I use alot of RAM gobbling apps like Photoshop, Flash, Logic X etc etc. I'm a student and I cannot afford to buy a new Mac right now so I have been looking into upgrading my system.
I have thoroughly cleaned out my mac and followed all guides on how to speed up my mac online etc etc. It helps for half an hour or so but once I'm using multiple apps like the ones mentioned above it begins to die so to speak.
I have looked online and have come to the conclusion that It may be best financially for me to invest in some new RAM and maybe an SSD drive?
Would you recommed this? rather than paying out £1000 for a new laptop (which I simply cannot afford)....
RAM - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0070C2ND8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&col id=1IU0LK5EQNXPM&coliid=IV98M7PZWAEN6&psc=1
(Possible) SSD - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-500GB-2-5-inch-Basic-Solid/dp/B00E3915Y4/ref=sr_ 1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1398171607&sr=1-1&keywords=macbook+pro+ssd+drive
Would it be worth getting both or would the RAM be okay alone? Also any idea's how many more years this would give my Macbook? I'm hoping it will prolong it's life by atleast another 3 years running at a good performance....
also when I upgrade would it be worthwhile to back up my system and re-install the OS? Start back from scratch so to speak?
If you have any other suggestions I'm totally open to them and look forward to reading replies.
Thanks in advance, Josh.By the way, ANY SSD drive will work on your MacBook Pro. If you do specific searches for "macbook pro ssd drive" most likely you'll get all the expensive price tags.
I currently use SanDisk Extreme SSDs and Mushkin Deluxe SSDs both are usually more economical to other brands and they both perform amazing...
The standard HDD on your mac usually goes at around 70MB/s (read/write) both of these SSDs go around 470/ 270MB/s (read/write).
So the SSD upgrade will give you a pretty good speed improvement... -

hi
im using mac book 15 inch retina
from last week its become slow ?
how can i fix it
tnksFirst, 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.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
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 EXTREMELY slow after lion
Dear reader,
I'm hoping for some good support from Apple, because my recent experience with Apple has been horrid. I purchased the lion update for my macbook pro 2gb 2.26ghz dual core in the Apple store. Right after installing this, my macbook started becoming slower. It's taking quite long to boot up, and running more than 2 programs results in a screen freeze every 10 seconds. It literally takes 10-30 seconds for it to process one mouseclick.
I was hoping that this would be fixed with the update released just now including iCloud etc. Unfortunately it just got worse. As we speak, I have to wait for my typed sentences to appear in this screen which takes about 15 seconds. Might aswell toss this piece of crap in the garbage bin and switch back to PC. Just installed this update, it has been installing for over 2 hours!
Any ideas on how to fix this? It's becoming REALLY annoying and I'm bumping into walls wherever I look/go.
Sort your things Apple, or when Lion doesnt' work on my macbook, instruct your stores to not sell it to owners like me!
Bah.Has Spotlight finished indexing (after a reinstall, it often wants to re-index everything in sight)? If not, cancel the backup and wait until it is.
Are you sure it's using Ethernet? Turn Airport off briefly to be certain.

Macbook pro slow start after upgrading to mountain lion
I have a macbook pro core 2 due originally runing Mac os x 10.6. I upgraded to mac os x 10.8.1 now and realized that the computer becomes slow start and shut down. Scanned with OnlyX and followed the instruction by restarting with hold down option-command-P and R, showed no help.
How could I solve the problem?
Thanks.Remove items from System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
And HD > Library > StartupItems
Then restart your Mac. -
HT1338 network become slow when using bluetooth.
I am using macbook pro retina display, my issue is, every time I turn my bluetooth on, the network become slow. anyone facing a same problem?
A lot of people were experiencing the same thing and reported it on the MacBook Pro forum. But that was when the rMBP first came out and I thought that the issue had been resolved with software/firmware(?) updates.
Are you running the very latest build of 10.8.2? With the supplemental updates as well?

My mac has become slow since installing mavericks iOS
Since installing the Mavericks OS my Mac has become slow and unresponsive, it freezes up all of the time and I always have to wait for the different software to load once I have clicked on the icon.
Before I installed Mavericks when I clicked on a program it opened straight away and I could use it immediatly, is any one else having this problem?
Thank youHere's your report with some comments in red:

2 GB RAM Mavericks will run with 2 GB of RAM, but it won't run well. I know the specs say 2, but 4 is a more realistic minimum for reasonable performance. You have page-outs (see the last line of the report), which means that tasks are being paged out to your virtual memory (i.e., your hard drive), because your RAM is full. The page outs might go down if you fix some of the possible problems below, and your performance might improve; if it doesn't, you might consider putting more RAM in your Mac.

Suggestions:
First, make sure you have a good backup.
What to do about the items in green:
The items in green are third party software that may be a problem. They run all the time in the background, and thus may be making things slow. You can test this theory: try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). A safe boot does some diagnostic checking and then starts up without third party added-on software. If this eliminates the symptoms, then you know the problem is with a third-party item. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
I don't know if the green ones are a problem or not, but they are on the list of suspects, and you're going to need to do some research yourself.
The general philosophy is:
Figure out what the application is that is responsible for a particular green item.
If you can live without the application, it, uninstall it. You should uninstall the entire application that is responsible, not just the green bit. The best way is with an uninstaller from the developer of the application. If there's no uninstaller (one of the hallmarks of crapware), then an internet search may help (as in, "uninstall crapapp mac", where crapapp is the name of the software in question). After uninstalling the app, restart, see how your symptoms are, and run Etrecheck again. I am a fan of AppZapper for uninstalling apps, if there is no uninstaller from the developer. AppZapper - The uninstaller Apple forgot.
Sometimes, after you have run an uninstaller or manually uninstalled a suspect application, one of those green bits will still be on the Etrecheck report. If your Mac's symptoms have resolved, it's better to leave well enough alone and leave it there. If you must, you can try a modified Finder search to find the stubborn green bit and remove it. These system files do not show up in a default Finder or Spotlight Search.
If you can't live without this app, then at least make sure it is up to date and compatible with Mavericks.
What to do about the items in red
These are definite problems and should be fixed if they are Apple software. They should be fixed or uninstalled if they are third party developer software.
For red Apple items, I would try:
repairing your hd. Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, I'd try Techtool, which can occasionally fix something that disk utility can't. Techtool Pro 7 Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. Restart, reassess, and Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, you're looking at the nuclear option: backup your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.
For red non-Apple software, I'd uninstall it and then recheck with Etrecheck. Then if you must reinstall it, make sure it's up to date and compatible with Mavericks. -
Hi,
A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
Thanks for your help

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
