MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2 running slow, any help?

I recently experienced a slow start up for my MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2 - hence I tried all possible tests from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
I managed to get pass the boot via the safe mode theory, I'm not sure what that means but at least now I can get onto my mac
However, now I'm experiencing a very slow macbook, too slow for me to even use effectively.
I have more than enough available free space on the laptop, its updated to the newest version (I think) and I've seen on other discussions of the biggest culprits to slow the mac: MacKeeper and Chrome (both of which I have now comepletely and thoroughly removed from my laptop)... despite this, it still appears to be very slow. Any help on what to do?
P.s. What's more, I have no idea how to back up my information via TimeMachine (and I am not sure where to get this external drive, any help on this too - I really don't want to loose ALL my files!)

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.
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.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Hi..
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
And disabling the resume feature can help.
Open System Preferences > General. Deselect: Reopen windows when quitting and re-opening apps

i am unable to use airdrop between my 6 plus and MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) running yosemite.any solutions? thank you

There aren’t any. AirDrop between the platforms requires that the Mac support Bluetooth 4.0, which wasn’t introduced to them until the 2012 models.

2nd Gen iPod Touch, 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8 - Any Point in iCloud?

I have a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, and a 2008 MacBook Pro OSX Ver. 10.5.8
I've used .Mac/MobileMe since 2008 and I have all of my documents on iDisk. If I upgrade to iCloud, what is going to happen? I know all of my stuff will be in the cloud, but will I be able to access it in any way with this equipment?
In short, is there any point in me upgrading to iCloud?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need Lion to run iCloud, if your MacBook can't be upgraded to Lion, it can't run iCloud.
ICloud does not replace iDisk, which you could continue to use until it is retired in June 2012 (with or without upgrading to iCloud)

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) running slow on start-up

Hi,
My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) seems to be running very slow on start-up and when i have more than two applications open. This only seems to have become apparent following my upgrade to Yosemite. I read a few blogs and i decided to disable FileVault in the hope that it would speed up, but it has not. I have also verified and repaired permissions of the HD and start-up disk in Recovery mode. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your help.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, 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 13 inch early 2011 running slow

Hi, I've had my Macbook Pro (13", early 2011) for about three years now and it has been very well behaved up until now. It has 4GB of ram and is the basic model of its kind. I recently upgraded the operating system to Mavericks but I noticed it was being slow even before the upgrade. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive through time machine so data loss isn't a worry.
I have noticed that opening applications such as Mail, Word, Google Chrome, iCal, Spotify and iPhoto have become increasingly slow and browsing the internet (youtube, tumblr, etc) is similarly slow with content and sound lagging. I wonder if I should buy and install more ram? Or is it a problem with the hard drive? On average how long would a macbook pro of this age last?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Flash player won't install on my Macbook Pro OSX version 10.9.2... help?

I can download the installer and even get flash about 50% downloaded before it tells me to close safari. When I closes safari it pops up with the same error massage as if i didn't close it. I made sure my security setting will allow add-ons and termed to start over several times, What am I doing wrong?

Hiya...
Has same problem... tried closing all Safari windows but it wouldn't work...
Realised that you have to "Quit Safari" instead of just closing all the safari windows... and the installer start to download again and ta-da... my adobe flash player is installed!
Hope this helps....
