Macbook Pro got slow after upgrade to 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

Hello,
I have updated my Mavericks system to the latest version released recently (10.9.5) and since then my system is much slower than it used to be (with side effect that fan is still active).
If I take a look into Activity Monitor, I can see that the process called opendirectoryd is consuming big percentage of CPU power (around 200%).
Looking into the console in system.log is giving me the following failure messages which are being displayed every 10 minutes (roughly):
Sep 18 17:12:38 VLAPE02mac1446 com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.opendirectoryd[1694]): Exited with code: 70
Sep 18 17:12:38 VLAPE02mac1446 automount[1700]: od_search: query failed: The daemon encountered an error processing request.
Do you have any idea what could be the problem?

Hi from Russia!
I observe same behavior with my MB Pro Retina.
After login to corporate domain controller, opendirectoryd begins excessive consumption of CPU resources and memory. This activity can eat all the RAM, and then the computer dies.
In /var/log/opendirectoryd.log i see many sections like this

No Sound, Safari Slow & MacBook Pro Very Slow after upgrading to Yosemite.

Hi All,
Upgrading to Yosemite has resulted in the following issues with my computer/laptop:
1. I have lost all sound and the sound options are no longer there after looking in Preferences.
2. Safari only loads parts of pages and then takes forever to load the rest.
3. Generally the computer has been slow with processes taking over the CPU and there seems to be a lot of hard memory swaps.
Attached is the EtreCheck.    Any help would be appreciated.   It appears that I also am missing some daemons that are launching.

MacBook pro extremely slow after upgrade to Yosemite

after upgrade of MacBook pro to Yosemite everything runs extremely slow. Apps Internet everything. Any fixes for this? I read email chains back from October. Anything more current?

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Macbook Pro runs slow after upgrade

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (from 10.6.8) on my 2011 i7 Macbook Pro.
My computer now runs slower than ever. Boot up takes forever. Shut down takes for ever. I get constant beach ball.
I am shocked at how horrible this OS is and though there are some "nifty" features, it runs so poorly It's hard to enjoy them.
So my question is, is this a common issue with Mountain Lion or is it a coincidence and perhaps something is wrong with my computer?
Thanks!

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.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
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.

Why is my Macbook Pro running slow after I downloaded the new Lion software? I have a 2.26 GHz intel core 2 duo? whats Wrong?

Spotlight may be indexing your drive(s). Click the Spotlight icon at the right of your menubar; if it shows things being indexed, that's at least some of the reason.

My macbook is running slow after upgrading to yosemite

Other's have posted similar experiences by when I ran etrecheck I didn't get a bunch of fails and yet my computer is extremely sluggish since moving from snow leopard to Yosemite. So much so, that I'm considering going back. Programs load slowly and switching between programs has a delayed response. Reminds me of the PC I had before I bought my macbook in 2008.
Any ideas on what might be causing the slow down?

Macbook Pro 2011: slow after yosemite upgrade

Hi,
I recently upgraded to yosemite, and during the installation, the installation bar stopped at about halfway and stayed there for hours. Knowing that it was going nowhere, I powered the computer down and turned it on again. After this, the installation appeared to be completed because it let me actually use the computer, but it was painfully slow. So I redownloaded yosemite and tried to reinstall it. However, the installation got stuck at the same spot, and another manual reset resulted in use of the computer, albeit at a snail's pace.
So I tried to reset the PRAM, then i tried starting in safe mode, then i tried booting normally, none of which worked. After reading on these forums, I found out about Etrecheck, I was able to download it and ran it yesterday. Here are the results:

Please and thank you for your help. I am currently writing ~2 words before the loading wheel comes up and stops me from typing for about 10 seconds.

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive or other storage device to hold the data.
1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
If you use FileVault 2, then you must first unlock the startup volume. Select its icon ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Enter your login password when prompted.
2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

Why is my macbook pro running slow after os x yosemite upgrade

Why is my macbook pro running so slow after os x yosemite upgrade

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

My Macbook Pro keeps restarting after upgrading it to Yosemite!

Hi, I have Macbook Pro 13-inch early 11, and the only thing that I have upgraded is the ram to 16Gb.
When I start upgrading the ox to Yosemite I headed to few problems (like it was stoked on 1 more minute for over 30 min so i had to restart my mac and start the installation again and again the same problem but this time i wated for 45 mins and finally it was installed. When for the first time it came to that screen so i can choose my user name and type my password nothing worked so i had to restart the mac AGAIN! Finally it worked but way slower than the last ox.)
After a day and two my mac started to restart it self for over 10 times in like 4 hours! It didnt mater if i was working on something using different apps or just listing to music, or just by closing the mac all of sudden i would hear the restart sound for no reason! So now it got better and it not like over 10 times in few hours but it still does several times a day specially when i close my mac. After the restart the only thing that tells me that your mac was restarted due to a problem and do you wanna report it and etc.
I would really appreciate if someone helps me with this stupid problem cause it really is annoying me and im keep loosing my work in middle of working on them.
Thanks!
Btw, im running bootcamp also but i dont use it that much but i beleive i had that problem when im ruuning the boot camp also!

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted though

Macbook pro still slow after erase

Hi everyone,
I have a slow performance problem on my macbook pro that I cannot solve. I tried already everything I could find here (see below) but nothing worked so far and that´s why I´m posting a new thread.
PROBLEM: Macbook got suddenly incredibly slow.
Start up takes up to 10 minutes (around 7 min for booting to log in, another 3 min before I can open any app). Shut down is faster but takes still longer than it used to. Moreover any single click takes ages while using the machine and I constantly get spinning beach balls even if I just check drop-down menus. Basically any operation takes ages now and I cannot work properly. Also audio stream from iTunes is not fluid and I get audio interruptions quite often. All of this was a sudden change: my macbook pro was always working fast and good. I cannot track back the start of this behavior to any update, installation or particular event. I don´t use my computer very often, do not install any crap, and only 200 GB or so were occupied on the disk.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED ALREADY:
- Checking activity monitor: nothing seems to be wrong here
- Utility Disk: SMART status of HDD is ok. Verified disk and permissions and repaired whatever had to be repaired (apparently only some permissions)
- Restarted in safe mode and then normally booted
- Reset PRAM
- Reinstalling Mavericks
- Went to an authorized store where they did an hardware check, said everything looked fine and suggested erase+fresh install
- Erased disk (after a complete backup) and did a fresh Mavericks install
None of this has worked. I now have a Macbook pro that should be as new but problem remained the same.
SYSTEM:
Macbook pro 13´ from 2012
OS X Mavericks
HDD 750 GB
RAM 8 GB
(let me know if more information is needed)
Some have suggested upgrading the RAM or the HDD or to change the HDD but I cannot believe the system all of a sudden needs more power (given that I don´t use it that much and it´s just two years old) or that the HDD fails after just 2 years!!
After weeks of struggling I am a bit frustrated and I hope someone can help.
Thank you

Why is my mac's battery life decreased and got slower after upgrading to lion?

Thank you for helping,
I am using MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) and beginning of this summer I upgraded it from snow leopard to lion (from apple store). After installation my mac got slower,it consumes the battery very rapidly and starting time increased. I searched the reason on the net and this time I did a clean installation. I but the problem insisted. last week i updated to 10.7.5. this time i see that coloured spinning wheel even i logging in. I did all the updates and battery calibration as mentioned in apple support communities but nothing have changed. I don't use any grafic programs etc. I only use safari, firefox, iphoto, iwork and microsoft office for mac. My english and my computer knowledge is not very good. So, if you answer my problem please will you explain as much as simple.
Thanks anyway.

A couple of things...
...first, you might want to make certain that your internal drive is selected as the Startup Disk under System Preferences. If it's not, this can sometimes lead to a problem of your MBP 'searching' for a boot drive at startup. Second, you might want to read ds store's article - Why is my computer slow? A very handy reference guide with some good tips.
As to your decrease in battery life - that has been reported by some users as a problem with both Lion and Mountain Lion. See the "More Like This" to the right of this page.
Can't offer any real solutions - read Mr. store's article and see if you can find anything that helps. You might also want to download the free "Battery Health" from the App Store and keep an eye on your battery when you're using it.
