Mavericks and ram
Hi, i've just bought a new mackbook pro retina haswell i7 2.3Ghz and 16 Gb of ram, and today i had my first crash for used ram.
in activity monitor for ram usage, i see the big use of ram with some app... but it's normal?
I had some problem some year ago with lion on iMac 27" 2011 and have solved removing login at system start... but now can't do for work motivation.
Someone has some problem or know how fix it?
It's possible that was an old problem never solved from appl?
7.14Gb used with safari with 2 tabs mail sublime text? i think it's little bit mutch....
Thanks Claudio
"Freeing ununsed RAM" is never fast. There's no need to do that, ever. Re-using unused RAM is a different issue. It's probably faster than doing compressed memory, but not by a material amount (2x as fast at something like this is immaterial, because paging to disk is slower by a factor of literally THOUSANDS).
Honestly, I don't think you should sorry about it that much. I'm sure Apple's engineers spent a LOT of time thinking about this and optimizing for it. 4 GB of RAM isn't as good as 8 GB of RAM, but I would expect that 4 GB of RAM on Mavericks would be better than 4 GB of RAM on Mountain Lion.
Safari seems better on Mavericks to me than it was on Mountain Lion. There is now a process-per-tab model versus a one-process-for-all-tabs model which is more reliable, in my experience.

Since upgrading to Mavericks I have been having a great deal of problems with RAM. I have 16GB installed yet it is quickly being all used to the extent the system basically shuts down as Apps are being paused.
Looking in Activity Monitor it appears the main culprit is Calendaragent which at times is taking up 10GB of RAM.
I am regularly quitting Calendaragent through Activity Monitor but this only gives me a brief reprieve before Calendaragent is again becoming bloated.
I have had this Macbook Pro for about 15 months with no problems until I upgradeed to Mavericks.
I haven't been able to find a solution. Any ideas?Same issue here :-(
I deleted Calendars Cache as described here, and that seems to have fixed it: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22480543#22480543 -
How much ram can I add to my late 2008 MacBook Pro? I run Mavericks and just got a new inexpensive hard drive. RAM is not very expensive so Thought I would bump it up from the current 2MB of 1067 Mhz DDr3
Maximum Memory
8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM -
Recently upgraded to Mavericks and iMovie '13, and suddenly I'm beach balling like mad?
I upgraded to Mavericks and iMovie '13 recently, and have been working on a video project in iMovie for the last few days. I hadn't been having any issues, but now I'm 'beach-balling' almost constantly, not just in iMovie, but everywhere. Opening a new app (iMovie/Chrome/Safari) will cause beachballs, and sometimes iMovie will fail to launch entirely, appearing as 'Not Responding' in Force Quit. Even using the Finder bar has caused beachballs. I've removed extraneous apps, cleared hard drive space, performed Disk Repair, and am not seeing much improvement. My EtreCheck output is as follows:

I have had no software issues with my MacBook prior to this (although I did have water damage that was repaired by Apple). If the problem is an issue with Mavericks/iMovie, I wouldn't be opposed to downgrading back to iMovie '11 or Mountain Lion if that's possible, as long as I can maintain my work on this project. I'm really looking for a 'quick and dirty' fix, as I'm already behind on this video project and need to finish as soon as possible. Thanks!You may find these articles useful:

Slow MacMini after upgrading to Maverick and later Yosemite.
Gents,
I have had nothing than trouble with my MacMini (late 2009) since i installed Maverick and I hoped some things would improve with Yosemite. That did not happen. I have been through all possible "solutions" but no luck. I hope someone can help me. My MacMini was working like a charm until I installed Maverick.
(PS: My back-up drive is not connected as shown below)
This is my Etrecheck:

Dec 15, 2014, 07:12:36 PM Self test - passed
Dec 15, 2014, 10:34:27 AM com.apple.AmbientDisplayAgent_2014-12-15...crash1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Made big mistake of downloading Mavericks today.
Been struggling with all the FUBARd messes it caused, ALL DAY.
Google basic buttons don't work--can't log out or other basic functions.
Website use is impaired.
It took almost 3 hours to do a basic online order on one of them--at this rate, I'll be out of business soon, and it's seriously impairing Christmas preparations!
Google Voice/Video are screwed up, had to RE-download their voice/video plugin all over again--again.
Voice/video quality is REALLY poor.
Lag times in so many things are bad.
Thought this would download WITH the better writing/bookkeeping programs--NOT!
Mac Maps is piddle compaired with GoogleMaps.
The Email program on the desktop is REALLY hard to use, has few useful functions. It's MAYbe good if one only has ONE email; using it with severeal various email accounts is a serious liability in many ways--like filing, sorting, marking, etc.; no clear way to move email files to an external drive to save, to unload the HD.
HOW can Safari and Mavericks be fixed?
IF not, HOW can I REMOVE Mavericks and get back to Mountain Lion--which was not too great, but certainly more functional than Mavericks!
I NEED my web-based emails to work--NOW...NOT when Mac finally gets around to fixing things sometime later.
I NEED online ordering to work--NOW--not later when Mac finally gets around to fixing things.
PLEASE someone--any help out there? I couldn't even find but a rare hint that Safari 7.0 even exists--much less that anyone admits it's got problems, nor fixes for it.
What to do? Throw the whole unit out? Wipe and reboot? Dumb it back to OS 10? HOW? WHAT?
[freaking out here...]Zak Adelman, LexSchellings,
It's a shiney new computer. Came loaded with Mountain Lion.
Too busy learning to use the blessed thing, to download anything....except...
The only pluggin that had to be loaded, was Google Voice-Video pluggin, while Lion was still it's OS. [AND been using the Safari that came already in it.] Had to do that a couple times--nothing new there--that plug-in had to be re-loaded when using a PC, too--THAT happened even before Google slammed everyone into coerced use of it's Google+.
[I understood from others, that Firefox won't work in Mac units--or I woulda put that in it to see if that solved anything]
This unit seemed a bit sluggish from the git-go, out-of-the-box.
I figured that was probly the local DSL here---rural DSL is...um...our DSL's not something to brag about, but it's the best we can do...
The difference between speed of loading pages, etc. on the new Mac, was --not-- toooo terribly different--though yes, slower on Mac....and chalked it up to my inexperience with Mac.
Been trying to get things up and running for a bit over a month now.
NOT doing very well at it--just barely getting by; rapidly falling behind what needs done [work].
Google worked just --OK-- when OS was Lion, as did the Google voice/video--slower, and voice-video was kinda scratchy or glitchy, but worked enough to --get by--.
Loading Mavericks, ruined that.
VOIP calls via Google talk have bad echio, static, cut-outs; video calling was pixilated or not working; WAS cued to re-load it's Voice-Video plug-in....which seemed to help a bit, though not very well; it only helped the Voice-Video some, not all--figured that was probably Google issues, less than Mac's, since Google has been increasingly dysfunctional as they have twisted it to be a social media-dominant thing.
[[now seeking an email venue that does what Gmail was good at, including the Voice-video calling, that has no intention of turning itself inside out to be "social"]]
Can't sign out of Gmail or Google+, nor use buttons in upper right corner with the drop-down menu.
NO buttons in upper right corner cluster on Gmail work, except the name+ button to toggle over to Google+---which I don't need! [yeah--THAT's a Google problem!]
Can only switch to HTML version by catching that button as the account signs in--if one fails to be fast enough with their fingers, it goes to Google+; can't get to email unless type in mail.google.com.
Managed to catch that button today, and clicked to use HTML "permanently" until these issues get solved.
ALSO:
Have fairly new [about 1 year?] HP bluetooth printer-scanner.
BUT, after Mavericks loaded: it HAS the unit listed, HAS drivers for it, HP unit IS listed as default printer, everything --seems-- "go",
.....except Mac keeps posting it's out of ink, and/or, not hooked up, and/or not turned on--even when it is on.
It's SUPPOSED to be blue-toothing that printer/scanner.
It did it for Lion, before loading Mavericks, even though it was troublesome to get it to work, it at least HAD printed one document when Lion was the OS.
Thank you...Downloaded EtreCheck:
BTW: Trying to copy/paste data from that check list, to this post, was achaic:
had to use Edit, select all, then use edit again to get it pasted--the mouse buttons weren't allowed to copy-paste using right-click functions [is this a relic limited-function "thing" with Mac?, or is it because I wanted to keep using this new wirless, non-Mac mouse?].
Advice?

I just downloaded Maverick and now my Imac is not workgin well. I have to turn off and restart it many times. Can I go back to my previos operating system? is there anything I should do or maybe Maverick is not supported by Imac 2007.1 Intel?
Yours is the earliest that will run it. Make sure you have more than 15% of your hard disk free, and at least 2 GB of RAM. And short of recovering your Backup, there is no way back. Unless you want to lose all the data on it.

Server File Sharing unstable on mac and windows network on Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0
Since I've updated our mac mini server from Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X to Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0 we are having sharing issues with Windows (7 and 8) and OSX Mavericks users, not being able to access files on the mac mini server.
What I've notice is that OSX Serer 3.0 stop working and I have to restart the Mac Mini Server to make things start working again.
This was not happening with Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X.
On the Windows and OSX users what happen is the computers keep trying to connect to the server and are not being able to open or copy files. Again this is intermittent, and I suspect it might be a OSX Server bug.
Any one having the same problem or can give us and advice would be great help.
Thanks.
Andre TenenbaumI too am having this exact problem as well as a few of my network administrator contacts that have gone through the Mavericks / Server 3 upgrade.
It may be worth noting that before the upgrade I had run a mac mini server (core 2 duo) that never had any unintentional downtime, and the current mac server had never gone down or lost connection so I know it has nothing to do with user or network configuration.
NAS server hardware:
- Mac Mini core i5
- 16 GiB ram
- Promise Pegasus Raid5 external drive (thunderbolt)
I am NOT running time machine as the backup.
Everyting posted above is occuring although the rate at which my users lose acces is sporadic. Sometimes the server will stay up 24-36 hours and sometimes it will only stay up for around 4. Every user, every group loses acces AT THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERYTIME to EVERY SHAREPOINT...all of my local users as well as my remote users. All of my users are on Windows machines (mostly win7, but a couple of XP and 8 users as well). The share is accessed via a mapped drive using the format x.x.x.x/share and I have had 0 issues with getting users connected. The problem is 100% keeping them connected. When the users lose access the get the "drive cannot be accessed" error on their end, however when I check the server 3 app, it still shows all users connected and I have let it run for a few minutes and the idle times do change.
I also cannot see any spikes in the Activity monitor that might indicate a memory strain issue on the server side, but I assume that is because I am not watching the Activity Monitor at the moment everyone loses access.
Let me say that the SMB2 protocol does work much better when it actually works, much faster, but intermitent connectivity is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE and has resulted in several corrupt files for my workers already. Also, because I was one of the unfortunate people that had the upgrade lock up on me and I had to restart it, I lost my 10.8.x recover backup and so I would have to do a clean install in order to restore my server back to its original state. I am also hesitant to do this because I would most likely only be able to download the Server3 app from the app store and I have not heard from apple or any other power user group on whether the bug is with the app or the OS. -
"Error Disk too Slow" Macbook Pro 2011 - Maverick and Yosemite - The Great Grand Mystery Unfolds!!!
Hey everybody,
Logic Pro X user here, have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, upgraded to 16gb of ram, 2.8ghz intel core i7, running latest version of Mavericks and more recently on a separate partition I tried Yosemite with a clean install of only Logic Pro X.
I use Apogee Quartet as my audio interface, I have a OWC Mercury Elite Firewire 800 external drive that I record to, all LPX files are on my internal drive.
Before Mavericks I had 0 issues with this setup, no with just one sole drummer track, or one single audio or software track, I get the various disk too slow errors after a few seconds.
I have tried reinstalling LPX, I tried a clean partition with nothing but Logic Pro on it (both Mavericks and Yosemite).
I have reset my PRAM and used Apple Hardware diagnostics as well as memtest (i think it was called) and even reverted back to my old original RAM that came with the computer. All hardware tests passed, I have verified and repaired disks from disk utility as well as from the recovery partition.
I have worked with Apple a bit over the phone doing these things, I have also read just about every thread on this pervasive issue. And its ruining my experience as a user. I absolutely loved Logic on Mountain Lion, no issues whatsoever! I'm considering reverting back to it actually.
On a side note I also have a HDMI Tv connected through the thunderbolt display, and a self powered USB hub that I connect my wireless mouse, iPhone cable and WD MY passport drive (which I only use for Time Machine).
I'm basically at my wits end and open to anybodies suggestions, I even tried resting the SMC and several other things advised in these forums.
I'm Stil under Apple Care and wondering if going into them is my only hope left.
I find that garageband acts the same, but I have no other system issues! its so bizarre, performance on all other programs is totally fine, its only when I want to record that I get issues.
For the record I do have some 3rd party VTS (Arturia V collection, EZ drummer 2 and AMplitube) but when I did the clean partition they weren't there and I still had the disk to slow error, so I'm not convinced its because of those.
Also Since the partition I obviously have played with my storage but I still have 75 gas of space on the mavericks partition (out of 500gb ) and on Yosemite partition I have 125 gbs available and on my Firewire external drive I have about 150gb left on a 500gb drive, so I'm not convinced its a space issue either (especially since before Mavericks Mountain Lion seemed to work just fine.)
HELP! Please help...I'm so exhausted trying to fix this on my own, and admittedly I've run to the end of my own capacity and don't know where to go from here.
Thank you for any suggestions, sorry for the long post, and if I have left anything out please let me know, this is my first post.And yes I did upgrade my apogee drivers to the recent ones they just released.

Hi, I have a 2007 24" iMac 2.8ghz machine with 4Gig of RAM. I have uploaded Mavericks and now Aperture 3.5 to replace the 2.4 version I was using on Snow Leopard. Its slow, very slow. Any tips to speed it up, I do Event Photography, often have 1000 pics to go through after a concert such as one I am doing next week, I cannot think of the time it will take me as it is now.
Also a favoutite shortcut on Aperture was "P" to get the image ready for working on, does not seem to work the same way anymore.
Thanks
Biscuit761Frank, thanks for your reply - even though it was not really what I want to hear (but what I suspected).
I spoke to a memory man today from a well known company, on the record my iMac will only take 4 gig, off the record it will take 6 he reckons as do you, do you know what I should be ordering ?
Regarding file location, I am pretty bad, take loads of photo's and don't delete many. The set up is as follows
500gig HDD in the iMac
350gig external
1TB external
2TB external - used to be the Time Machine
4TB external - new Time Machine
I am hoping that the 2TB disk will last me about 4 years before it is filled up.
I have now about 230gigs of HDD space on board which according to what you say is quicker than the external drives accesss wise. I could therefore load new pictures onto the interrnal HDD, do what I need to do to them there. Once done can I move the location of the folder - will Aperture (or the iMac) track the move ? Once I have gone through the images I then save jpegs in various forms either for sellling as small files or as prints via an on-line service. I do keep back up DVD's of all the important events for safety but I don't like to delete anything off of the drives. Messy I know.
Anyway, thanks for the reply again.

I'd like to advise Apple of an issue. Is the Apple Support Communities the best method?
I have a 2011 circa MacBookPro 2.2 GHz intel i7, Radeon HD 6750M, 4GB RAM. It originally came with Mac)S 10.7 (I believe), after upgrading to MacOS 10.8 I saw a large increase in the number of spinning beach balls (SBB) so much that I was advised to upgrade to MacOS 10.9 Mavericks for better memory management. About 3 weeks ago I had reached a point where the MacOS was sluggish all of the time, in fact it took 15 minutes to start the computer and achieve a functional desktop. It seemed like I was greeted with a SBB of varying lengths for just about every task I selected. On Monday, 24 Feb, I contacted Apple and they advised me to reinstall Mavericks from scratch, that it was possible that the OS updates had left some baggage behind.
Sure enough this fixed the issue for 3 days. My MBP seemed to be back to its old self! However this morning I ran into another hard core spinning beach ball, 15 minutes later without being able to shutdown firefox or tell the MacOS to shutdown, or do anything, I finally pulled the plug and forced a restart. This stall was so horrific, maybe it would have recovered, but I did not have an hour to sit there staring at it. If I am at fault it is for not shutting down my MBP, but putting it to sleep at night. Usually I restart it about once a week or so. I may have to abandon this practice and shut down every night. After the restart every thing seems back to order for now. In the near future I plan on upgrading this hardware to 8GB RAM.
I am not a programmer, but there seems to be something woefully inadequate in the MacOS when it allows itself to reach this state. I understand memory leakage and imagine it would not be that difficult to monitor memory usage and put out a warning that available memory is low and a restart is recommended or hold enough memory in reserve so that there will always be enough control to tell the computer to restart. I'd like to be sure Apple gets this message. Is this the best way, is there another avenue, or should I email/call them directly?
And looking for advice on how avoid SBB in the future. Thanks!Dave,
Sorry to hear of your troubles, I'll try to add my two cents worth.
Feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback
Of course, there is the old fashioned letter (physical paper) to the president or some other officer of the company. I'm sure someone will see it. I've found this works well, as it is so rare these days that it gets attention - usually.
Regarding SBB (Spinning Beach Balls) and RAM, I agree with you that 8GB RAM and probably an SSD of some sort are a good starting point or base for decent performance. I've noticed that is usually the set-up on display at the Apple retail stores. FYI: I never or very rarely ever reboot my MacBook and it works well enough. But it does seem slow at times (particularly at boot up and initial opening of applications), yet surprises me at other times with how fast it does some things - once they are opened initially and in RAM somewhere.
I have a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Intel Video, with OS 10.9.1 (Mavericks). It works well enough with Mavericks and Apple only software, but add Chrome and all bets are off. It will work, but is much slower as Chrome loads lots of stuff right up front. Once everthing is loaded it runs well enough though. I've come to believe that any software not native to the OS is suspect!
I have to add though that for the past month or so, I have moved over to a PC laptop for access to MS Word (touchscreen is okay too) and the MacBook is just sitting there collecting dust. I'm not suggesting you do that - I was just curious and have been a long time user of multiple platforms.
In reading your post, it seems your MBP (MacBook Pro) ran fine for 3 days then suddenly had problems. What happened or was installed in that 3 day period? How did you restore your data? I ask because once I restored from a Time Machine backup to a MBP and had all sorts of problems including bad performance, and sleep issues. The only answer that I came up with was to manually transfer all data and just data (files) into the new OS (after a fresh install). Data was transferred manually using an external HDD. Just a thought.
Of course, your post also mentions that you had SBBs on your first upgrade to 10.8 before Mavericks and in-fact that was the reason for upgrading to Mavericks. I would guess whatever problems you had with 10.8 were just incorporated into Mavericks and magnified. A clean install of whatever OS (not an update) and using only native OS apps at first then slowly adding one at a time non-OS-native apps as needed while keeping an eye on resources via Activity Monitor can be of great help and lots of times identifies many problems - perhaps even with an OS native-app.
How are you doing your install of Mavericks - off the internet, locally? My internet is so slow that I ended up creating a boot/recovery USB 3.0 fast flash drive and that helps tons with the whole process. Here is a one link of many of that process: http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html.
Another issue that slowed down one of my Macs was found in a conflict between iWorks '09 and the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I updated to the newer versions with the older versions still installed and it caused lots of problems including decreased performance. I think the older iWorks included indexing in Spotlight while the newer one did something different, so the HDD was forever indexing and killing the system (unusable!). I really don't know what the actual technical problem was, but I ended up removing the older iWorks and using the newer exclusively. The problem cleared up. I did end up re-installing iWork '09 later but it is not the default program, and I have to specifically request that a Pages document open with it.
You had also mentioned memory leakage in passing. Activity Monitor on your Mac will monitor memory and processes and is a handy tool for checking into that. Watch for non-native OS applications in my opinion. It seems like this might be a real possibility given that you posted how a reboot fixes the problems albeit temporarily.
Have you checked you HDD to ensure that it is clean (e.g. verify permissions, and repair disk). I usually like to run this using Disk Utility from a recovery disk (e.g. USB flash drive) or outside of the OS. I guess you could also run it off the internal partition. Hold Option then press power to boot to boot manager then select recovery partition. - Command + R brings up the same thing but off the internet and can be slow depending on you ISP speed (your laptop may need the firmware update seen below in a hyperlink to do this). I just wanted to make sure the HDD is sound and without corruption.
Here are some more keyboard combos that are handy.
Cmd + Ctrl + power button = force restart
Cmd + Option + P + R (hold all then press Power Button) = clears your PRAM or NVRAM (a good place to start).
Option hold then Power Button = boot manager (to get to recovery another way).
Shift hold then Power Button = safe mode (might try this to see how it responds)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533 here is the "official" list.
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_use_os_x_boot_options_troubleshoot_you r_mac here is an older unofficial list with explainations.
Clearing PRAM alone has fixed issues for me in the past.
Firmware: done?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904 is a firmware update for MacBooks circa 2011 and earlier guessing this has been done or is not necessary.
Hope something in here touches a chord or kicks off a spark to help find your MacBook's problem(s).
Good luck. -

Mavericks and Preview app problem
Hi!
Yesterday I updated my iMac 27" (Intel i5, 4Gb RAM) and MacBook Air (2010) to Mavericks and noticed significant slowdown working with Preview app and RAW photos.
Preview loads photos very slowly partly covering photos with black color. This problem is on both my Macs.
I even reinstalled Mavericks completely on my Mac. Also I tried to remove Preview preferences. This didn't work. I installed Camera Raw update - no use.
In the latest 10.8 everything worked smoothly and fast. In Mavericks... it is not. I'm very upset...
Does anyone have such problems?
If there is no solution at the moment how to downgrade back to 10.8?
By the way, I noticed that Mavericks uses all of my RAM all the time. Is it normal?Interestingly, when you go to Feedback, when you get to OS X applications, Preview isn't even listed!! Maybe it's because the changes under Mavericks have turned a previously easy application to use into a disaster area. Perhaps they don't want to hear the feedback?
1. No more crop button for the edit toolbar.
2. No more save as, or save all options under File drop down menu.
3. Some genius changed save as to export... only took me a week to figure that out!
4. When opening 7-10 jpg's to edit, various problems occur:
a. cropping and then adjusting picture size often results in adjusting size change not being saved.
b. after this happens on one picture, trying to adjust size on another picture doesn't work.
c. repeated attempts causes Preview to freeze up and you have to quit the application.
d. when reopening the same pics after reopening preview they appear in 2 or 3 windows instead of the original 1 window.
e. the same problems may repeat themselves trying to edit all 10 pictures.
What used to take 4-5 minutes to do before Mavericks, now can take 10 minutes or more. Did anyone test Preview 7.0 before it was released??? -
Downgraded from Maverick and now It seems like SL is unstable.
Hi,
White MacBook (late 2009)
8Gb RAM
I upgraded to Maverick and started to regret that decision since it felt like the laptop got slower. So I used my installation disk to downgrade again to Snow Leopard. I performed many software updates after installing Snow Leopard.
The OS X (I'm trying to use the correct terminology here) feels unstable and is acting slow and unreliable. Examples:
When I open Appstore the images won't load. This does not only occur with Appstore, but also with websites and documents.
Apps are crashing more often now. It just says that it crashed and asks if I would like to send an error report. This did not happen before I went from Snow Leopard --> Maverick --> Snow Leopard. Can it have something to do with my upgrade of RAM?
I can't install purchased apps from appstore. I get various error messages, here is the latest error message:
I have used the Disk Utility to repair disk permissions and with the 8Gb RAM one would think that this MacBook would be lightning fast.
Please give any hints, tips and tricks. I just want to have a normal, stable system that can do anything and not be slow and sometimes crashing and not loading stuff. Tell me if you need more info about my MacBook.
Thank you,
TheodiceYou are going to have to do some research. Check out the Google link here, which deals with the problems of reverting to Snow Leopard.

Downgraded OS from Mavericks and now can't open iPhoto library.
Updated to Mavericks which made my machine unusable. Consequently reinstalled 10.8.5, and now I can't open iPhoto Library without updating to Mavericks again and installing latest version of iPhoto. Any ideas how to make my iPhoto library compatible with iPhoto 7.1.5?
If it were me, I would be addressing why Mavericks did not seem to work.
Your machine easliy meets the minimum system requirements to run Mavericks and simply buying more RAM is not a valid fix for your reported issue.
If you are really determined to stay on Mountain Lion but now have an incompatible iPhoto library you could try a workaround -
- Right click on the iPhoto Library, choose Show package contents, look for a "Masters" folder. All your original pics are located within this folder.
- Hold down the alt key, whilst doing this, click the iPhoto icon on your dock and choose to create new to create a new "empty" iPhoto library
- Go back to your Masters Folder and Drag individual folders accross into the already open iPhoto to import them. Each folder you drag in will be treated as an "event"
Having said all this, I would really be trying to upgrade to Mavericks again first before trying a "messy" workaround.
Why not let us know what happened after you upgraded before trying this?
