Mavericks is making my computer run slow
Since I updated my Mavericks my computer is running slow. I have done all the tricks. I brought it into the mac store and they said I have 55% free memory but I get the spinning wheel of death when i try typing it takes forever. Programs dont open or they take forever. Never had this issue until I updated Mavericks. I can applejack, did the shift control option hold power and the option command-p-r hold power. repaired disks, cleaned out system caches, re-installed osx?? What is the next step. apple said "well it may just be mavericks sorry! You may just need to buy more memory even though it says you have plenty." I'll type a few words and the spinny wheel comes up and the words don't appear on the page until about 30 seconds later. Any tricks, advice etc. Tey told me to go to this website http://www.crucial.com and to install two 4 gb in the slots instead of the 2 gb I have in each slot. For stroage, under about this mac it says i have 163.18 out of GB of 319.21 GB free. Thank you so much

If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience. -

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
if not vpc:
break
which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

Is there a telephone number I can call after 7:00 p.m.? I'm not at home and I need to call Support to help me speed up my MAC. Ever since I upgraded to the Maverick my computer has been very slow and it's very annoying.

My 2010 iMac with Mavericks 10.9.2 is very slow. How do I fix?
I have tried the usual stuff: disk permissions repair, SMC reset, PRAM reset, dragging caches to trash, restarting computer, etc. My internet connection and speed is good. Computer is mid-2010 i3 iMac with 10.9.2 OS, 12GB RAM, and there is plenty of unused space on my HDD.
The computer is very slow to start applications and load web pages. I ran Etresoft as some have suggested and the report is below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
After 10.5.2 update, computer very slow
Downloaded/installed update without incident. Microsoft Office programs are now very slow to open and very slow to perform certain tasks, like trashing an email. Emptying trash in the Finder sometimes works/sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't, I get a dialog box saying "You can't open Trash because Trash is being emptyed" or words to that effect. Force quitting hung aps usually does not work. It is sometimes possible to shut down or restart using the commands in the Apple menu but I've had to just power cycle the computer twice today when the commands didn't work. I tried verifying permissions but even that seemed to hang. Verifying the disk worked and it says the disk is ok. Any ideas on how to solve this? It almost feels like I've run out of memory but Activity Monitor says otherwise. Stumped.
I had some of the exact same issues. After I installed the 10.5.2 update and noticed these issues, I ran Software Update again and found a "Leopard Graphics Update 1.0".
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/leopardgraphicsupdate10.html
Once I installed this graphics update, my computer was back to normal. -
Tiger 10.4.8 running one computer very slow...
I have 2 main computers in my photography studio. Running all with Tiger
10.4.8.
One is a powerbook G4 with 17" screen. This one seems to be running OK.
The other is a G4 tower (733 processor - memory 1GB) and this computer seems to be running all apps very slow (Photoshop, Appleworks, printing, saving files ect.). I have begun have begun having problems on 'start-up' of a 'gray screen' saying I have to restart the computer (not exact on what it says but sure you all have seen it before...).
I run 'cocktail', 'disk warrior', 'techtool deluxe' and the 'disk utility' on a regular basis (at least once a week) and they don't seem to help.
I have 2 firewire external HD's hooked up to it (got alot of photos to work with).
Am wondering if anyone else is having a problem since updating to 10.4.8 or if the HD is just getting ready to end it's life?
Any help is appreciated!!!1. You wrote: "I have been running cocktail, disk warrior, disk utility and techtool deluxe everyday and have not had the kernal panic issue in the last few days. So I think that issue has been cleared up."Hard to say without seeing the panic logs as to what may have caused the panic. If they return, follow the troubleshooting road map in my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
2. You wrote: "Photoshop CS2, Bridge and even Appleworks (which I don't use all that often) is still running very, very slow. "Some additional suggestions:• See the "Troubleshooting performance problems" section of my "Tuning Mac OS X Performance" FAQ.
• An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause on the affected computer. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
• Try troubleshooting the FireWire drives by process of elimination: try running without them, then one of them, then the other. If the problem occurs when one of the FireWire drives is connected, it could be a problem with the FireWire drive, the cable, or the FireWire port.
• To rule out broader hardware problems with the Mac itself, run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.3. You wrote: "Do you think that my HD (running the operating system) is just slowly beginning to die??? "You can rule that out by checking its SMART status. See Step 1 of the Procedure in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ if you need step-by-step instructions.

Doubts about going back to Leopard because lion made the computer very slow
hi i bought a macbook pro on 2009 it came with leopard operating system. When lion came into the market i installed it but since then the computer is very slow.
I took it to an apple sotre and they told me that the memory was almost full so i bought an external hard drive where i have now all my music, photos and documents. But the computers is still very slow.
So im thinking about going back to leopard but i have some questions. i hope someone here help me
1. will i experience any problem synchronizing my iphone 5 or my ipad4?
2. will i be able to update itunes to the last version?
3. how shall make a backup of my computer
4. What do i have to do to restore leopard into my computer
thanks!How much RAM does it have..?
To find out, go up on your menu bar to: Apple > About This Mac
If you have no other problems and plenty of free HDD space? Then 2GB of RAM will feel real slow running multiple Apps in Lion or Mountian Lion and you should try upgrading the RAM 4GB or more before moving back to Snow Leopard.

Computer very slow and programs crash....
My Dual 2.5 has been doing very wierd things lately. First off, the processors and fans work very hard to do simple things like Safari. Second, programs for example Photoshop crash when I try to open them, but work the second time. Thirdly, sometimes when I turn on my computer it stays on a black screen and the fans rev to full speed.
I have updated to 10.4.4, repaired permissions, etc. etc. but nothing seems to help. Do I need to reinstall a fresh copy of Tiger, and if so what is the easiest way to save all my programs, pictures, music, files, etc.?
Thanks guys.Do a fresh install if your machine is having problems by the time you futz around you can be up and running again.
What you can do is this, get a external hard drive and clone your screwed up OS to it.
Then erase the internal and reinstall Tiger fresh using your same name, drive name and password, update and install apps from original sources, then simply replace folders like iTunes from the clone, contents of users folders, Safari bookmarks and email (in user Library), iPhoto folder and the like.
You can trim out the garbage you've installed over time, get a optimized OS and all the benifits.
Later when your done leaching off the clone, erase it and clone your new boot config to it for safekeeping, any trouble, boot off the clone.
I have some pretty good details and information, take the time to download and read the text files.
http://homepage.mac.com/hogfish
My Mac was refusing to allow a software intiated restart yesterday, so I simply transfered essential folders to my clone, booted off of it, updated the OS, erased my internal hard drive and reverse cloned. My OS is nicely optimized now and I got a bunch of free space.
It's zipping along nice and fast again. -
