Macbook pro is slow.....HELP

My 2011 Mac Book pro is slow. i do not have many applications installed except skype, iAntivirus Picasa, Microsoft Office and amazon Mp3. i dont have alot of files i many use my macbook for the internet which is also slow. How can i speed up my computer? also i have downloaded trend micros (wish i never did) but it will not go away it shows up on my start up disk and the little trend  mciro logo is on the top bar on the screen where the time and date are witht he wifi and battery percentage. How cna i get ride of TM ? HELP HELP HELP

The easiest (and often quickest) fix to speeding your MacBook up (even if just by a bit) is cleaning your Desktop up. Make folders, and try to keep your Desktop just as clean as possible.
Uninstall the anti-virus programs as soon as possible. On a Mac, most antivirus programs are kind of redundant, and they really things down.
Update to the latest version of Mountain Lion, though why would you not just get Mavericks? Mavericks has an amazing fix built just to speed Macs up. It's free too!
Finally, go to Utilities --> Activity Monitor to see what programs are slowing your system down the most...

    While 4GB may have been fine with Snow Leopard or Lion, that was 4 years ago.
    If you have never done a clean install consider doing one. Backup, clone, setup a USB installer and wipe the system. Or wait for the new internal 500GB drive (so you are back to using about 50%) to do a clean install and run Setup Assistant. You would be surprised how even just that can feel and run.
    RAM is pretty much a given so when you do, look at putting a 500GB SSD in there as well.

  • Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

    Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow !! Need help ? what is the solution?

    I've ran a benchmark on my Mac (iMac early 2009). Performance of Yosemite in general was about the same as Mavericks. But that can be different on other Mac's of course. Safari is mostly a bit slower. It's recommended you clean your old internet-caches and then restart Safari. (you can use a little app called CCleaner to do that). That might make a difference. Speed-issues are usually solved in the first and second update of OS X.

  • Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists

    My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet.  Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
    I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
    The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
    The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
    I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
    Any advice is appreciated!

    Melophage,
    I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga  whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
    Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

    DiskWarrior is a program that tries to repair low level directories that can get messed up. From their website ...
    What is DiskWarrior?
    DiskWarrior is the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer.
    There are other utilities that do similar things.
    Looking for login items is probably a better bet. You do this by opening System Preferences and then looking into Accounts. From there you should see a tab for Login Items. There will be some things you want to keep. iTunes helper and some other helper files are actually nice to have around, but you may have things that look like total sludge. Get rid of those. If you aren't sure, try to google the name of the program and you will likely get some more info about it before destroying it.

  • My MacBook Pro is slow, only safari open

    It is 2 years old. 2.26GHz, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Not sure what to do? I only have safari open., My MacBook Pro is slow It is 2 years old. 2.26GHz, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Not sure what to do? I only have safari open, and it will freeze or the spinning rainbow wheel will come up for a long time. Or sometimes it shows that I am scrolling over something a good 5-10 seconds after I already have. Sometimes when I am typing, the letters appear later than when i have typed them. I am not sure what to do. Oh, and my security software is clean and up to date!
    I have 85.22 GB of my 148.73 GB capacity available. I feel like it shouldn't be running this slowly!
    Please Help!!

    Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu.  When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.

  • Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots

    My Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots recently.
    After I installed 10.5.7 it started happening. When I open anything including system prefs and apple apps the ball appears. I'm on 10.5.8 and it seems to be either as slow or slower. Startup is a bit faster now, but it'll go to the beach ball before I even do anything remotely intensive on the system.
    My computer is almost 3 years old but I don't install any weird software on it and have 30% of my system disk free. I'm an audio guy and use logic, pro tools and generally keep my computer clean.
    I've tried starting another user account to check if its my original user that has the issue, but thats just as slow too.
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Oh yeah, I repaired disk permissions too but it hasn't seemed to have changed anything

    Thanks for the reply Dale.
    I have just tried that and Disk Utility said my MAc HD appears to be ok....????
    So I don't really understand what else I can do...
    I tried using Onyx a couple of months ago but it seemed to make things worse and more temperamental.
    If there is a next level of solutions I could try it would be much appreciated.
    This is what appears when I verify or repair the permissions... I doesn't change if I repair them though.....
    Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”

    Are you running both VirtualBox and Parallels? The sad thing is that you've only 2GB of RAM - and your machine can be upgraded to 8GB which would, in your case, have a tremendous impact on the speed of your machine (I'm not certain why EtreCheck is saying that the 2GB of RAM is not upgradable).
    2GB just isn't enough to run modern versions of OS X - not even the Lion OS that you're running now. If you want more performance from your machine, upgrade your RAM. You can go to the Crucial website or the OWC website and find the RAM that's right for your machine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro Running Slow (2yrs old)

    My macbook pro has been running slow for several months. I thought maybe it was because my 12yr old created a second user account, but I think I deleted it and I'm still having issues.

    First, the worst way to try to fix a malfunctioning system is to upgrade the OS. Doing that will usually make the problem worse.
    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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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 very slow to bring up homepage, won't open programs; likely related to attempt to upgrade Java software on the Parallels side, not successful because of low C drive capacity, recommended C drive compression not successful/completed.

    MacBook Pro very slow to bring up homepage, programs won't open; likely related to failure to upgrade Java on Parallels, told that C disc low capacity, disc compression recommended was unsuccesful/failed. Rebooting, battery removal hasn't helped. Can't open Systems Preferences. Suggestions?

    Linc, the resident dump guru, will probably be along in awhile and provide deeper insights, but here goes for now. I'm seeing an awful lot of warnings and messages from Chrome. Any chance you could lay off that browser for awhile and use Safari in the meanwhile? No red messages anywhere in the listing. Have you tried rebooting into Mountain Lion Recovery Mode to do a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions? (Cause in spite of what your config tag says, the dump indicates you are running a ML kernel)
