My mac book is getting slower

Hi I'm new in this, I'm looking for some help, what i can do if my mac book is getting slower. It was very fast 4 months ago and I didn't installed a lot of stuf in this time and it became slower.

my MB was doing the same thing but only when my computer started, once it started everything ran fince...
to fix the startup i did the following:
turn off your computer, unplugg the power cord, take out the battery, and click the power button for like 5 seconds, then put your battery back in then your powercord and turn it on, that should reset something called vram i think, and that worked for me, you should give it a shot

My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus). How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

How do i know if my mac book is working on N speed

I just bought the new airport extreme and there is a software that allow to change the configuration of the mac books from G speed to N. I check that i have that software installed, but i don't know how to make it work. I don't know if it is working but i surely don't feel any difference on the speed of my network.
If somebody can help me telling me how to check is my mac book is working on N will be really appreciated.
Also, can somebody tell me how many kb/sec is N speed and G speed. And how to se at what speed I<m tranfering data between my macbook and my external drive.
thanks

Log out and log back in, if you haven’t done so recently. 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
Post the lines of output, if any, that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line (triple-click anywhere in it to select the whole line):
find /Applications /System/Library/CoreServices -type d -name *.app -exec defaults read {}/Contents/Info LSEnvironment \; 2> /dev/null | grep DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
If you get no output from either step, you're not infected with any variant of Flashback that I know of.

My 2013 13' mac book pro is slow

My 2013 13' Mac Book pro is slow and it is play videos slow as well. What is wrong?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
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.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
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 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 System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
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 (command-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.

My MAC BOOK PRO is slow - which software is recommended to clean it from unnecessary files ?

Why is my computer slow?

My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect to the net

My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect the net. Also wondering how do I check if my software is up to date? Thank you.

To check to see if your software is up to date, go to >Software Update and you can check for updates.
No idea why your Mac is slow--there could be a variety of things that could cause slowness. A good start would be to see if all your RAM is recognized. >About this Mac will show you how much RAM you have. You can also open Activity Monitor and check your RAM usage.
Also, how full is your hard drive? You should have a minimum of 10% free space for the OS to operate properly, and 15% to 20% is better.
No idea why you have to reboot to connect to the internet, but it could be related to the slowness. Rebooting will free up RAM among other things.
Which MBP do you have and which version of the OS are you running?

Mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups

mac book pro running slow and getting pop ups

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview its like being on old PC

My newer 3 year old mac book pro is broke and i am using the older one ( lion) to do some work and having to use preview because i cant reinstall all software on this as well.
I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview.
Why is Preview bad on older machines?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

Why is my mac book running so slow?

I noticed that my mac book was running slower than normal. I had recently downloaded alot of HD video off my video camera so I had thought that was the reason. I installed a new 250 gb hard drive and upgraded to 2 gb of ram and it did not improve at all. It takes a while to load a page using safari, sometimes it freezes and I need to restart. My imac that is connecting to the same network runs super fast so it's not the connection.
Any Idea's?

Open the Activity Monitor application and watch what applications use your CPU while you're doing things with your Mac. Look for any application that's sucking up resources.

Why is my mac book pro so slow now, why is my mac book pro so slow now

Why is my mac book pro so slow now How can I speed it up?

Use this article to examine your RAM picture:
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used
How much total RAM?
How much of the pie is Green? 1/8 pie? More? Less?
How much is Green + Blue combined?
How many PageOuts since last Startup?
How much Swap Used?
What MacBook Pro model (like 5,1) ??
