Macbook sluggush / freezes after Mountain Lion

I bought my Macbook Pro 13" in late Fall of 2010.
I've read several posts on here about computers locking up after Mountain Lion upgrade.  But most of those issues involved the computer completely locking up.  In my case I get the spinning wheel of death, but the trackpad is still responsive.  I can "Force Quit" the open programs (usually) but it is very sluggish.  It boots slow and shuts down really slowly.  The sluggishness is intermitent thought and I can't put my finger on what is happening.  It reminds me of my old PC days when you would get a virus.
Can you point me in the right direction for diagnosis that I can run myself?
Or do I need to head to the Genius bar? 
What has changed in my usage lately?
Essentailly the same type of usage since I purchased the machine.  Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, Chrome, Safari and Mail.
I recently "upgraded" to Mountain Lion from the app store a few days after it became available.
To my knowledge, all updates have been installed.
My Macbook has been running really hot (too hot to sit directly on your lap when wearing shots).  This happened prior to my upgrade and I took it to the Apple store and they essentially told me not to worry about it.  They ran some tests and said things looked fine.
Thanks!

  • IMac freezing after Mountain Lion Upgrade

    After upgrading my iMac to Mountain Lion it is freezing at least one a day. Sometimes the screen get messed up right before getting frozen, something like this video (from another guy), but they move from top to bottom to me.
    I never had this problem before, it started right after the Mountain Lion upgrade.
    Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?

    Permissions Repair:
    Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.
    PRAM Reset:
    1- Ensure the machine is powered off.
    2- Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    3- Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4- Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5- Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up normally

  • Macbook running slow after mountain lion update

    why? i have 2 gb of RAM, that should be more than enough, right?
    firefox is running slow, everything is freezing. i have barely used any of my hard drive space with it being at 225.61 gb free out of 249.2 gb.
    its really frustrating.....

    Two gb is the bare minimum for running Mountain Lion.
    The model 7,1 (Mid 2010, White Unibody) can use 8gb of 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
    These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
    OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_Whi te - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
    Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
    Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
    Here are video instructions on replacing the RAM on the White Unibody.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbook_13_09_unibody_mem/
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5.

  • Programs freeze after mountain lion install

    Since installing Mountain Lion I am having a consistent problem of my programs freezing, having to force quit and then when try to reset the machine it won't shut down fully and I have to push power off. This is occurring for all programs regardless of whether an update has been provided for Mountain Lion. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro with 4GB of RAM and shouldn't have a problem with running the new OS.

    If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up in Safe Mode  (It will take more time to startup because it runs a directory check.)
    If your apps function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Users & Groups >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test.

  • '11 MacBook Air Freezing w/Mountain Lion

    I have a 2011 MacBook Air (13", 4GB) that was rock solid with Lion for a year. However, ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I've been experiencing frequent freezes/lockups.
    Sometimes, my Menu bar will freeze, and I'll get the spinning beachball, then the system will completely freeze requiring me to power down.
    Other times, the machine will just instantly freeze, requiring a power down.
    Still, in another annoying situation, I'll close the lid on my laptop while plugged in, come back a few hours later, and the machine won't wake up. No screen activity, not even any light noticeable through the Apple logo on the back of the screen. NOTHING.
    It's getting to be to the point where I don't want to use my MBA anymore and try to do as much work as possible on my iPad.
    Nothing has changed software/hardware wise since the upgrade to Mountain Lion. I even tried disabling PowerNap, but that didn't work.

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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 page that opens.
    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.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    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 A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Retina MacbookPro, Freezing after Mountain Lion Update.

    Hello,
    I recently updated to mountain lion on my rMBP. My machine freezes every 30 minutes or so and All that works upon freezing is my cursor, I cannot do anything but a restart that fixes the problem for another 30 minutes. Some apps I had open where safari and cs6. There also appears to be an OpenGL issue when playing games probably related to the graphics card drivers.

    Hi no real idea on this, but many Network connectivity issues have been solved by this...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Also, turn off IPv6:
    System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
    Or whatever Interface you use.

  • Serious freezing after Mountain Lion Install

    Preview, Downloading, Safari, and iTunes have all frozen up to the point where I have to restart. I get a spinning Wheel, but if I Cmnd/Opt/Esc the wheel keep spinning but nothing happens. If I download a file, I have to save it to the Desktop, and open it up from the application in order for it to open. Otherwise, it freezes.

    Try repairing your permissions.  Go to applications then to the "other" folder then go to disk utility, on the left hand side you will see a white box.  Select the second option, usually called "mac HD" with that selected click on "repair permissions" in the center towards the bottom of the screen.  Wait for it to complete, then see if this fixes the issue.
    Also try to delete the caches:
    Here’s how to clean your caches:
    1. Choose Users>your user name>Library>Caches.
    2. From the Menu bar, choose Edit>Select All.
    3. Drag all of the items to the Trash.
    4. From the Macintosh HD, choose Library>Caches.
    5. Choose Edit>Select All, and drag the items to the Trash. You’ll be required to type in an administrator’s password.
    6. Restart your Mac.

    I don't know they are the problem. To get rid of them properly you must run their uninstallers. Deleting the application does not remove the extensions that have been installed. If you don't have the uninstallers then see the following:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
    Macbook Pro
    15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
    Processor:  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory:  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software:  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • TS3742 MacBook Pro 13" with Mountain Lion Freezing at login and getting Kernel errors

    Ive been working on a friends MacBook Pro 13" with mountain lion for about a week now. It is having intermittent kernal panic errors on boot up only. It is also freezing up frequently at apple logo. Disk check passed, reformatted and reinstalled os. Switched out Ram. Still happening. Can anyone help.

    Linc Davis,
    I hope this is what you were requesting. I deleted out the UUID but as far as hang reports, wasn't sure what that would look like so I am sorry if that is included in this. Please let me know what you think.
    Thank you for your help in this.

    web pages open slowly or not at all after mountain lion download

    I'm having the same problem but only at home with a slow internet service.  At work with faster internet my macbook pro works fine.  I wonder if Mountain Lion requires some minimum internet speed?  Our old macbook pro (not using Mountain Lion) still works fine with our slow home internet.  This change happened when I installed Mountain Lion.  Also I can boot from by back up disk and bypass Mountain Lion and work with my slow internet at home. ???

    After Mountain Lion came out, I cannot redownload OS X Lion from the App Store. How would I go about doing this? Any help is appreciated. I am on a late 2008 15 inch macbook pro core2duo with 2 gigs of ram.

    Under Apple's new policy you need to call Apple Customer Support and purchase a download code to use in the Mac App Store in order to access the Lion download.  I believe it still costs about $19 US.
    Hope this helps
