MacBook Pro 2.33 Slow starting Adobe
I'm not sure if it's me but Adobe CS2 seems to be taking a long time to open. I did own a 2.16 for a couple of days before it was returned and this seemed to be faster!!!
I'm experiencing the same problems with CS2 and with Microsoft Office. I've timed the startup and it's frequently taking over three full minutes to fire up any of these applications. Not only that, but running the programs is terribly slow and if I switch between aps then the timer just sits and spins, often for over a full minute. Finally, quitting any of these applications can also take forever...again, often over three full minutes. Compared to my iMac or even my four year old iBook, the MacBook Pro is a real dog. I thought the Intel processors were going to be a major improvement but my laptop simply isn't coming close to "as advertised." I sure would like to hear a solution fo this.

After installing the OS X Yosemite Recovery Update Version 1.0 on the 15/04/2015, my Macbook Pro is very slow at start up . I have an Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012. i5 2.5GHz cpu 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SSD as main system drive.
Before the update as soon as I would switch it on, I would see the Apple Logo, then the screen would go to users log in. Now after update, when I switch on, I will get a blank white screen for up to 60 seconds or more before going onto the Apple logo.
Can anybody help with this, as the reason I came over to OS X was the speed of it. I might as well go back over if this Macbook Pro is going to be as slow as a Windows laptop .
Any help to get my speedy boot up back, would be grateful.

Suddenly my Macbook Pro got very slow/started freezing
I opened Logic Pro 9 and found that it was really slow, so I restarted the Macbook. When I got logged in again, I noticed that the icons for battery and Airport and clock took several minutes to load. I tried starting Safari, and the machine froze for a few seconds, then opened Safari, but very slowly. The same happens in all applications.
What's wrong???
Look at my signature for Macbook specs.Could be the hard drive. Open Disk Utility and check to see that the SMART Status is verified. Verify the disk. Check to see that your hard drive is not too full--it should have 15%-20% free.
Also, download and run SMART Utility:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
If all this looks OK, then you might try reinstalling the OS by doing an Archive and Install.
Be sure to make a good up to date backup as your first priority. If your hard drive is headed south, you want everything backed up just in case.
Good luck! -

My MacBook Pro is very slow start up and sometimes fails to. also when using Safari computer will freeze. when opening and closing programs it can take up to 15 min. this all started in the last two weeks. I have also had to update Yosemiti a lot in the last couple weeks. Is there issues with the updates or is there something more going on?

MacBook Pro is running slow. Please help!
Hello,
My MacBook Pro is slow to boot up, slow to open applications, and takes awhile to process actions (like clicking a link or selecting a field in which to type). I have posted an Etresoft snapshot of my system in hopes that perhaps it can help diagnose the problem. If possible, I would like to increase the over all speed of my system. I believe some of the errors are due to failed/corrupt apps that launch on start up, but I am not sure. Any help that this community can offer would be very helpful.
Thanks!

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

276 KB Page-outs@dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that? I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under
Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
were somehow the same, after I released everything I didnt have to press power button separately (step5), the mac started already (after step4)
@Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:

@hands: thanks for note -
My MacBook Pro system is operating very slowly. Apps take quite a while to open (oftentimes 2-3 minutes or longer) and navigating through my documents is cumbersome. I get the spinning wheel while I'm searching for a document. The machine appears to be running most of the time, as if something is going on in the background. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide. I only open the apps that I need at the time.
Here is my EtreCheck report. Hopefully it has info that could help:

Lately my Macbook Pro is really slow
My Macbook Pro is unbarebly slow. Launching Safari takes around 55 bounces/seconds. Just opening any app is something I time with making coffee or a bathroom visit, just because it takes forever. At first I was suspecting the HDD, but I've tried multiple softwares to diagnose the discs and no errors are reported. Diagnose softwares reports nothing wrong with my memory sticks either, but that could still be a fail source I guess.
- I've repaired disc permissions
- I've repaired/verified disc
- I've reinstalled OS X
I'm beginning to believe there's something wrong with OS X 10.8 and my older MBP and thinking about downgrading to see if that would help, but that doesn't seem like a sustainable solution to me.

If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. 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, then 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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file. -
Macbook Pro running painfully slow
Hello,
I'm working on a MacBook Pro that's suddenly started to run painfully slow. I've repaired permissions, reset the PRAM, updated everything to Mavericks, and even though it might be running slightly faster, I'm still encountering the pinwheel every time I start anything up or really try to click on anything. I'm pasting my etrecheck info below. Any guidance is most welcome and appreciated!

My macbook pro is running slower than normal, is there a way to speed it back up?
Lately my Macbook pro has been slowing way down. This primarily happens when working in Photoshop (or at least that is where I notice it most) and if I shut down then start back up it is slightly faster. I am an old PC guy and have only been on a Mac for a year now. With PC's you could clean out a cache or do some other things to "clean out the system". Is there something I can do on the Mac to bring the working speed back up to where it was when I bought the system? I have already cleaned out the trash and I transfer most of my images and large file to an external drive so I have over 1/2 my HD space still available.

1: Max out your RAM. Crucial.com has a excellent method to make sure you get the exact RAM specifications and tells you the amount of RAM slots available (you have two, both filled with the default RAM) Buy your RAM wherever you like of course once you get the information.
2: If you have a more recent machine, OtherWorld Computing has 16GB of RAM available for $1500 if your game. That would most certainly speed up Photoshop as it wouldn't have to swap the extra memory to the hard drive (slow). I don't know who else sells 16GB of RAM at this time.
3: You can install a 500GB OCZ Vertex SSD drive and use that as the boot drive, your Photoshop will most certainly scream. But the fastest 500GB OCZ Vertex SSD on the market is $1800. Apple's is slower (needs a new Mac) and is about $1500. You could go with a smaller/faster SSD, but lack significant storage space. SSD's are not 100% erasable and have limited write capacity. You could opt for a 7,200 RPM hard drive replacement and gain some more speed and large storage capicity without breaking the bank.
4: You can run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects of the free OnyX and reboot, that will perform the "cache cleaning" your looking for and perhaps solve something that is messed up and slowing your machine down, but it's not a significant performance enhancer.
Since your a new Mac user, there is a lot of free "extras" including OnyX, that a Mac user might have great need for, included in this list.

My macbook pro is going slow lately
My macbook pro is going slow lately, it takes longer time to just open a finder window or a simple photo or word document or pdf document. Everything in general goes slower than before.
I don´t know what to do to fix this and have the macbook pro run as it used to before.
Thank you

Mar 26, 2015, 08:20:29 AM /Users/[redacted]/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/plugin-container_2015-03-26-08 2029_[redacted].crashI’ve tried running 10.10 on quite a few different computers with 4GB of RAM and a standard mechanical hard drive and all of them performed worse with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks (10.9). And about a year ago I found that they performed better with Mt Lion (10.8) than Mavericks. Each version of the Mac OS has required more memory than the version that came before it and that means that every couple of years the minimum acceptable RAM is increased. Apple signaled this quietly at the Apple Store - only one computer now ships with 4GB of RAM. (And I can tell you from personal experience that in that configuration it is not fun to use.)
Bottom line: you need at least 8GB of RAM or an SSD. Both are better. In the meantime run as lean a machine as possible. MacKeeper is a waste of money no matter what anyone might tell you. At best it is not necessary and is a waste of money.
