Mavericks is to much slow to open apps

I did a clean instalation on my Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012. My computer has i5 core, 8G of RAM and 500G of HDD. Yes, I don't have SSD, I have HDD.
However, the Mavericks is to much slow to open apps. Any app. How can I change this situation?
The both Linux and the Windows 7 are fastter then Mavericks.
The Apple must resolve this problem!

Thanks for your replies.
Eric Root: I going to do it;
w7ox: I installed the system15 days ago. I've had this same problem with Mountain Lion. I've thought the reason was incremental installation.
petermac87: Thank you for your suggestion. My computer is not Mid 2012, but late 2011.

  • Ever since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to load apps

    Since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to boot up after being shut down and is slow to load apps (excessive bounce, etc.). Is there a solution?

    Your model is right at the cutoff of models that can handle Mavericks, so you need to keep that in mind: an older machine and less powerful processor. Aside from that, you should really have a minimum of 4 GB of RAM for Mavericks to run reasonably well - how much RAM do you have? The 2 GB minimum published does not work that well unless you only use one app at a time.
    So, if you've maxed out the RAM, make sure you don't run too many apps at the same time, especially if dealing with photo editing or movie apps and quit one before starting another. Also make sure you have plenty of empty hard drive space at all times.

  • Yosemite slow to open App Store

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, the App Store is very slow to open.
    Also some web pages are also slow to open. Have removed web site data as mentioned in other posts but to no avail

    Since you restored from a backup, check free drive space.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • Why is iwork 09 apps SOOOOO MUCH slower to open then MS word on a PC???????

    Hi,
    I would like to know if other people have noticed this, or it's just on my MBP, that it takes way longer to open a pages document than opening MS word on a 1 yr old computer running VISTA??? ***?
    Word opens instantly and on my Mac it takes like 10-12 seconds!!!

    There are several factors.
    It is not coded identically obviously so it is hard to determine exactly what is being done in the first few seconds of start up. Also to what degree Apple has optimised its performance by writing key functions in machine code.
    Another big factor would be the Hard Drive speed in your computer. The small HDs in laptops are markedly slower than desktop models for example. Also how much real and virtual memory is available.
    I'm not going to defend Pages just for the sake of it but there are lots of ways making software appear to respond more quickly by partially loading stuff and then making you wait later on. Microsoft for all you know may have preloaded key Microsoft Software on launching Vista on the PC, so it may already have been in memory. You could check in Vista by monitoring what is happening when you launch Word in a process monitor.
    Do you have the same number of fonts on both machines?
    Also Pages maybe checking other things such as media in iPhoto, iTunes etc.
    I suspect it may also have to decompress the resources in its application bundle.
    Whatever the reason you should let Apple know:
    +Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback+

  • Can anyone help with my 2010 mbp running slow i.e. games are very laggy and slow to open apps

    i have a 2010 mbp and i cant run games that i was able to run flawlessly a couple months ago im not sure if iv done somethin to cause this issue i really only use my comp to watch movies and videos nothin that i would think would slow it the way it has if someone could give me some advise as to how to get it running 100% again it would be much appreciated

    Use this as a trouble shooting guide:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
    Check the status of your HDD.  Open DisK Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.  Also is the HDD full?  Often that is a problem.
    Try a Safe Boot:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
    Often third party applications have a negative affect on performance.  Performance or cleaning apps as well as anti-virus apps are often the culprit and should be deleted.
    Ciao.
    You might also open Activity Monitor and examine if additional RAM might be useful.
    Note that Macs are not good gaming machines.

  • IPAD AIR SLOW TO OPEN APPS

    My iPad Air is slow and often hangs. It takes time for apps to open. I have spare memory of 22 GB. Let me know what to do?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • Mac making lots of "thinking" noises and slow in opening apps

    My 100G space came up as full last night so I freed up about 15g. space, but now today I notice it is going way slow, taking forever to open or show data in files - eg if I click on the master application folder - the names of indiv. folders show but file content on right doesn't come up until about 30 secs, and the computer itself is making all sorts of whirring/clicking type sounds which i called "thinking" but it's as if the memory is still full and is operating at half it's speed.
    I have a 2.16 GHz intel core duo processor, and memory is 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    Get info shows:  Capacity of 99.69GB, avail is 14.11 GB
    Any tips on what has happened since last night to today? I thought it would be running faster and accessing files really easily.
    I just got a pop up saying:  Your iDisk is unavailable.  Make sure you are logged in to your MObile ME acct, then try again to access your iDisk.
    COuld this be the problem? I've never seen this before.    What is my iDisk, and what does it do?

    Thank you - is this what you asked me to do?   Excuse my limited computer abilities.

  • Have you noticed that it gets slow at opening multiple displays or apps in OS Mavericks?

    When I'm running your OS Mavericks. It gets slow, I don't have many apps or files but it is slower than Lion 10.7.5, even mountain lion
    Can you please tell me what to do?
    There are a lot of things that I don't like it's slower and it was supposted it'd be faster..
    1. The internet is the same
    2. There are less file than before the installation
    3. The podcast app in the utility is not in this and this has deleted my files
    4. While I am using only safari, it gets hot and slow internet
    5 It's slow to respond to my actions in every tab, tab to change the app
    6. I have to update many apps so in my harddrive there's less space
    IT IS VERY SLOW AND I DON'T LIKE. THE IMAGE OF THE OS IS PRETTY BUT IN EFFICIENCY IS POOR JUST IN CONTRAST WITH THE KEYNOTE HAS SAID
    http://www.apple.com/apple-events/october-2013/

    Got it!
    Unchecking/deselecting is what I have been doing. Separating configurations using the "playlists" seems to be the only/best way to accomplish what I need ~ different library files for different iPods being used.
    You have confirmed my suspicious.

  • Since upgrading my Mac OS 10.9 and Mavericks, I am unable to open App Store and other problems.

    My computer has gone haywire since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 and adding Mavericks. Mail was a big problem with my not being able to read messages, but now there has been a mail upgrade to solve that. However, still cannot open App Store from my Dock and cannot open Software Update from the apple menu. Lots of other screwy things going on and Apple seems of no help to try and resolve these issues. Anyone with similiar problems or issues?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    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 certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, 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 (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • After installing Mavericks, computer is slow and applications are slow to open

    Mavericks has slowed my IMAC to a crawl. Applications are slow to open. Disc burning is slow as well as photo editing. Any Idea's

    We need more info about your iMac other than "My iMac is running slow."
    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    To find out info about your system, click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears. Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.   Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs. Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply. This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Locate your iMac's hard drive icon on the OS X desktop. Click the icon once, then use the keyboard key combination Command-I. This will give you additonal info about your iMac's internal hard drive.
    How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
    Conpletely uninstall any virus software you have installed following the anti-virus deveolper's instructions.
    Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of "crapware" like so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?
    Another her possibilty is that some hardware, like your iMac's hard drive, could be failing.

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
    Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
    The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB  RAM installed.  The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

  • How Can I Improve Mavericks Performance (much slower than 10.8)?

    When I upgraded to OS 10.9, I immediately saw a significant slower performance than with 10.8 or 10.7 (which I had been using for about two years). One big difference was a delay with the boot disc thrashing a lot when I started the computer and when I launched any app. That is, after starting my Mac Pro (2008), once the windows are all visible, there is a 30+ second delay (with the boot disc thrashing a lot) before it responds. A very similar thing happens when I launch any app. For example, when I launch iPhoto, after the photos appear, it takes 30+ seconds before it reponds to any mouse clicks. Under 10.7 and 10.8, there was about a 5 second delay (which I always thought was Faces doing its thing). This disc thrashing and delay before the app will respond happens with every app (Word, iMovie, Disc Utility, etc.) These delays never occured under 10.7 or 10.8.
    A few people on the Apple Support forum suggested I run EtreCheck and remove various apps that they said could cause a problem with the OS. I removed every app they suggested, but I do not see any difference in performance. In my opinion, OS 10.9 has implemented something new that is causing my Mac Pro to run much slower.
    I just ran a Safe Boot (using shift key while starting). I don't see any difference.
    I would appreciate any advice.

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus.  My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick.  Just not sure what the problem might be.  Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

    Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
    You will have to investigate to see what it is.
    Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
    Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
    Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.
