Macbook suddenly slow

My three-month-old Macbook was running fine yesterday, and this morning started running much slower, with the fan continually on. I don't think I installed or changed anything. I've freed up some hard drive space and tried restarting and resetting PRAM.  I've also tried running disk utility, no errors.
I'd really appreciate some help!

  • Macbook suddenly very slow

    Hi All,
    A couple of days ago, my aluminum macbook suddenly slowed to a crawl. Lots of beach balls, or just freezes with no indication as to why. In addition, certain applications (iTunes, Disk Utility,...) would crash, with crash reporter giving a KERNINVALIDADDRESS error code. I also ran into an error message in Terminal that the dylib shared cache was corrupted, and I wasn't able to rebuild it. I reinstalled OS X, which fixed the dylib and crashing issues, but the computer is still very slow. I've run memtester to investigate whether the RAM is faulty, but didn't find any problems. Disk Utility didn't find any problems with my HD either. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    HI,
    Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    And help here for the The Spinning Beach Ball of Death
    Carolyn

  • My macbook suddenly is running very slow

    Help! my macbook suddenly became painfully slow, it freezes every 30 seconds. I took it to the Apple store, they said the hard drive was fine, they restored it and updated the operating system.
    At first it was a little better, but it came as slow as it was before.
    I hope you can help me! im desperate

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    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.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites 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 disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    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.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some 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.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    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 later 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.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
      Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
      OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar 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. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external 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. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at 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:
    Pre-Mavericks
    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 (>=70,) 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.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) 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 laptop (early 2013) sudden slow down, and heats up while sleeping

    Hi! I need help with my Macbook Pro laptop (early 2013) that suddenly slowed down, and heats up while sleeping. It slowed down 3 days ago. I want to know what checks I can do to find what is wrong with my laptop. Thank You

    Hi! I did reset SMC but it did not work but thank you. Now, my hard drive crashed, bought a new one, but unfortunately my laptop does not detect the new hard drive so that where I'm at. Im not sure if I need to format the hard drive, replace an internal part like the connector of the hard drive to the logic board or the new hard drive is broken.

    Hi there Lex! Ok, I went through and did everything you instructed me to do. I think I got everything. I used to have HP and Epson equipment but not anymore. The Logos application I do use and need too. I went ahead and ran another EtreCheck for you too. Thanks again! Look forward to hearing from you again.

  • My MacBook Pro is suddenly slower...is there an easy way to check for viruses?

    My MacBook Pro is suddenly slower...is there an easy way to check for viruses?

    OpsMgr have methods which can get all host classes. Here my own function which can solve your issue:
    function Get-SCOMClassProperty {
    param(
    [Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackClass]
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
    $ManagementClass,
    [Switch]
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    $KeyOnly
    function Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty {
    param(
    $ManagementClass
    $ManagementClass.PropertyCollection | ? {$_.Key}
    If ($ManagementClass.Hosted) {
    Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass.FindHostClass()
    If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
    Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
    function Get-SCOMClassAllProperty {
    param(
    $ManagementClass
    $ManagementClass.PropertyCollection
    If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
    Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
    $ManagementClassProperty = Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
    If (!$KeyOnly) {
    $ManagementClassProperty += Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
    $ManagementClassProperty | Select-Object -Unique
    If you need to do it in SCOM 2007 R2 then you can try my scripts from this examples http://systemcenter4all.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/scom-monitoringclass-functions/. Last should work in 2007 R2 and in 2012. Example in thread will work only in 2012.
    For example just run command:
    New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
    $ManagementClassName = "Microsoft.SQLServer.Database"
    $ManagementClass = Get-SCOMClass -Name $ManagementClassName
    Get-SCOMClassProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass -KeyOnly | select Name

  • Sudden slow down after an auto-shutdown - kernel_task running hot.

    Hi,
    I was playing Braid on supremely low battery, and my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011) running 10.7.2, automatically turned off. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed. Booted it up next morning and it is so incredibally slow. No warning, no gradual slow down, just all of a sudden. No peripherals attached at all.
    Checked my Activity Monitor, kernal_task is running at 330mbs, from what I've seen that is pretty bad. That's the only thing I can see that is out of the ordinary.
    Anyone want to take a stab at the cause of this sudden slow down? It's making using my laptop very very tedious.

    Note: In Safe Mode kernal_task is running at 220mbs. Is that a clue? I don't know.

  • Hi all, my mac's suddenly slowed down significantly - can anyone help?

    Hi there, a couple of weeks ago my mac suddenly slowed down significantly. Since then I've installed the new operating system and that's helped a little but it's still not running as it should.
    Here's my EtreCheck report. Any ideas you clever people?

  • Computer has suddenly slowed to a crawl

    Hope you can help out there!
    --MacBook has suddenly slowed down.
    --Takes 2 minutes from login screen to seeing my desktop.
    --Took 2 hours to repair permissions.
    --Safari begins to start-up and then stalls. Have to re-start.
    --Can't back up--Time Machine says "preparing" for 2 hours--I gave up.
    --Tried to re-build directory with Disk Warrior--found lots of problems, but would not let me replace with the "preview" directory. It recommended I back-up the "preview" directory, but I didn't see any way to do that. Permissions repair went through quickly. Diagnostics on hard drive ("S.M.A.R.T." function) indicate that hard drive is OK.
    --I've run Cocktail (latest version), and that went through okay.
    --Have re-started the computer multiple times without beneficial effect.
    --Now trying to back-up via Time Machine one more time--will let it stew overnight.
    Any suggestions most welcome. THANK YOU.

    Hello Robert:
    As I indicated above, I think an archive and install would be something to seriously consider:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    An archive and install will install a fresh copy of OS X (which should be updated using the software update feature) while preserving your files, programs, and settings. As always, I strongly recommend a backup before any software update (Time Machine is a good solution).
    An erase and install, IMHO, should be reserved for a disaster (I have never done one myself).
    By the by, running GUI programs like OnYx (I have one that is pretty good - Cocktail), while not harmful, would not (IMHO) fix the sort of problems you describe. For example, OS X 10.5 runs the UNIX 'cron' (the daily, weekly and monthly processes mentioned above) automatically. There is no reason to manually initiate them. Also, the cache cleaning most of the GUI maintenance programs initiate may atually slow a system for a period of time. There is little or no reason to run any maintenance programs under OS X 10.5 - unless one is troubleshooting.

  • WD MyBook Studio Suddenly Slow. Sign of Failure?

    Hey Guys.
    I have a Western Digital MyBook Studio 3TB external hard drive that has suddenly slowed down dramatically.
    I usually hook it up with FireWire 800, but both FireWire and USB is slow. I've hooked it up to another Macbook and it's still slow so i know it's a drive problem.
    The speed is so slow it takes about 30 seconds for drive to load thumbnails, and videos do not even load.
    I have read through many many forums but still unable to find a fix. I have a lot of important Data on this drive that i cannot lose. It's basically everything digital i have/own.
    Details that may help
    -2010 27" iMac i7.
    -I have owned this external drive for about 6 months, and it has been working perfectly.
    -There was a power outage a couple of days ago, it worked fine immediately after but the problems started yesterday.
    -Currently, the drive is about 1tb used and 2tb free.
    -I've tried PRAM reset, different cables, removing the drive from index, pretty much everything i found on forums but no luck.
    -drive not making any odd noises or clicks.
    Please help as i cannot afford to lose the data on this drive.

    The drive could be failing, I would get something besides another WD MyBook and back it up ASAP.
    I build my own External Hard Drives and backup all my data to multiple drives, one daily, one weekly and one in the fire safe.
    For some other good External Hard Drive solutions:
    see > Macsales.com - USB 3.0, FireWire 800/400, eSATA External Hard Drives
    and > LaCie - Desktop External Hard Drives - USB 2.0, FireWire, FireWire 800 & eSATA

  • Macbook running slow

    Hi,
    A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
    I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
    Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
    Thanks for your help

    Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Mid 2010 macbook pro slow to sleep. No print queu issues.

    Hey everyone! My Mid 2010 macbook pro slow is slow to go to sleep. I have read several community forums and I've checked for old print jobs (which seems to be a common issue) and have found none. I've also reset all printers and jobs.  Anyways, it takes 35 to 60 seconds to go sleep (until fan/harddrive turns off/I see blinking white light).  This slow sleep occurs even with a complete fresh install of Mavericks, and even after installing a new SSD. I am honestly at a loss.
    I did the "pmset -g log" command and I have found two reoccurring things that I think might be the reason (though I don't really understand it fully). I commonly see "TimedOut InternalPreventSleep "com.apple.powermanagement.darkwakelinger" 00:00:15" commonly and "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep "Address Book Source Sync" 00:00:30".  I have bolded both of these below:

    My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely.  When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again.  Any idea what the problem is?  Here is my EtreCheck report:

    Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing.  I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now. 
    I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
    Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee.  I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them. 
    So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

    This is usually indicative of a defective print cartridge.  Suspect the black is low in ink or defective.  Please check all cartridges.

  • Sudden slow down in data transfer

    I'm reading data from the hard disk on a Target PXI System (8106 RT) and sending it via Ethernet to a Host PC and writing it to its hard disk. I read a chuck of data from the Target, send it using TCP Write function. The Host uses the TCP Read function get the data and write it to its hard disk. Data is being transfer over a Gbit Ethernet. A total of 9 files ranging in size from 700 MB - 2 GB are being transferred. The process moves along at an adequate speed until it suddenly slows down to slower than a snail's pace in the middle of a file.
    By using probes (see enclosures) I've been able to determine it take approximately 17 seconds between when the data is read on the PXI to when it is written on the Host. However, an iteration of the loop on the Target has increased to over 3 minutes. The CPU usage on the Target and Host are minimal, less than 1%. Memory usage on the Host is also small. Any suggestions on how to diagnose what has caused this sudden slow down?

    I would recommend using smaller chunk sizes for your data transfers. I would recommend something inthe 10K to 50K range. I have done quite a bit of profiling for sending large amounts of data and I have found that it is better to send lots of smaller chunks rather than fewer large chunks. Also make sure that you are not automatically building up large buffers in your application if you are using shift registers. If you are reading from a file read the file in chunks and send the chuncks. Don't read the whole file in in one read. One experiment I ran resulted in a single read of a large file (2 MB or so) took something like 10 minutes to read it in one read. However it only took a couple of 100 ms to read the whole thing in 10K chunks. Same applies to wrinting very large chunks using the TCP write. You can easily get a timeout if you write 1 MB as a single write because the receiver has not consumed all of the data within the timeout period. However, multiple small writes will reset the timeout for each chunk written.
