MacBook late 2007 runs slow

My MacBook (late 2007, OS 10.6.8) seems to be running more slowly lately. Its especially noticeable when it's runs Safari (currently v5.1. but the macbook and Safari ran slow even before latest software update. I've freed more disk space by deleting unneeded large files. Any other suggestions?

Download Onyx (Google will find it) and run through its all the options of its first three procedures: Verify, Maintenance and Cleaning. Take note of any error messages and reboot when finished.
Let us know if things improve or not.

2010 Macbook pro is running slow in Mavericks. Do I need more than 4gb ram?

My late 2010 13" 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro is running slow since upgrading to Mavericks. I currently only have 4gb of ram. When I boot up It takes quite awhile (nearly 5 minutes or more) before the system is usable. Or it takes almost as long to switch to another user. Once I let it sit, it runs fine. I'm mostly using Safari and possibly MS Word at any given time. I looked at the Activity monitor and I believe I'm using aboiut 3.6 - 3.9gb of physical memory and over 4gb of virtual memory. Swap is using 0 at all times.
Do I need more RAM? Wipe my drive and do a fresh install? I'm reluctant to do the latter, because I don't want to have to reinstall all of my apps (even witha TM backup).
Thanks all

Thanks Linc for any help-
Hope I didn't paste too much. Uninstalling CleanMyMac has already helped some. Here goes:

How to enable SATA NCQ/AHCI in MacBook (Late 2007)

I am planning to upgrade the HDD to a bigger SATA-2 model.
I would like to ask does *MacBook (late 2007)* with *Mac OS X 10.5.2* natively support NCQ / AHCI ?
Do I have to enter the BIOS to *enable the AHCI* function of the HDD?

Wrong, EFI is NOT BIOS. They are two separate things. They do the same job, but EFI does it more efficiently due to the fact that it is a lot newer. You do not require BIOS to run EFI, or the other way around.
This sounds more like a semantic discussion rather than the original poster's query whether or not something needed to be done in order to access a larger drive. Perhaps he used the term "BIOS", but we all know there have been means of updating the firmware on MacBooks, even if it isn't a traditional BIOS reflash.

Macbook pro 13inch running slow and losing connection (had it for only a year)

Will someone please help me.. I've only had my mac book pro for a year only and few months ago I started experiencing that my macbook has been running slow lately.. I still have alot of memory in it because I only use it for browsing the net and saving some pictures on it and some videos and it. I have another laptop with me(Toshiba) and it works perfectly fine.. Honestly, I didn't switch to apple to get this kind of issues! Will someone help me please.. I seriously don't want to pay $50 just for them to trouble shoot it.. & I'm not the only one experiencing this problem... Alot of people I know that uses macbook are experiencing the same issues. I hope someone can help me, Thanks!

Post a panic log so that we can see exactly is going on. Be sure that it includes the hardware profile at the bottom of the log.

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.

A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer.help please

A magnet fell on my macbook "late 2007 series black" and it stopped working. When i start my macbook up it sits on the white screen. i tried inserting the snow leopard disk to do a clean install but the disk ejects and all i see is the pointer. i even bought a new hard drive to do the clean install but the same thing happens. Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

Hi,

Thank you very much. Is Hardware problem, I'm wondering if it needs to be reported to apple.
Thank you.

Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop? An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac. Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options: ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck. You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is. If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it. If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache. Safari/Empty Cache Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top. If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance. Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.

Cable to migrate from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012?

What cable should I use to migrate files from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012. The ethernet migration took 30 hours. The Macbook messaged success but the Mini did not show that any files were transfered.

Where did you look for the migrated files? Look in the /Users/ folder and see if there isn't a new user account. If so, then log into that account where you should find what you migrated.
The only way to do a migration any faster and more reliably is if both computers have Firewire ports. If they do then you can use Target Disk Mode to migrate.

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

Is it possible to use Intel PROset Wireless/WiFi card on MacBook late 2007 in replacement of Airport?

Will Intel PROset/Wireless WiFi card work on MacBook Late-2007? I don't have an Airport card with me as this MacBook was only given to me from a friend. Also will Mac OS X 10.6 install even though the WiFi card and Bluetooth card is not in the MacBook?
MacBook Late-2007, Mac OS X 10.6, 1GB RAM, 8x SuperDrive, 235GB 5400rpm HDD, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Intel GMA Graphics

I would seriously doubt that you will be able to use this card as a replacement for the AirPort Extreme card in your MacBook.
A better option would be to use a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter instead. You can find these at a number of vendors on the Internet. One would be Other World Computing (OWC).
As far as installing OS X 10.6, you should be able to install it from the OS X installation disk regardless if the AirPort card is missing.
