My mac is getting slow, expecially surfing you tube

I have a mac book pro (mid 2009) and since few months it is getting slower and slower surfing internet,youtube and, generally speaking, all the software.
What I can do? Maybe a virus or a malware or stuff like that?
thanks for the support.

open disk utility and verify disk.
once that's done, verify disk permissions. repair if needed.
once repair is done, restart your macbook and see if that sorts out your issues.
cheers...

I have my Mac Book Pro with the OS Yesomite since a month and I am feeling that my mac is getting slower than before a month. I want to install OS Lion on my mac. I think i have a DVD of OS Lion which comes when i bougnt Mac laptop in 2011. Should i install OS Lion? What wil happen if i install OS Lion, do i lost my Applications or ...????

Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

Ciao.
An early 2011 MBP would have 10.6 installed, not 10.5. I assume that is a typographical error or is the MBP model year incorrect?

I have updated to Mac X 10.6.8, now You Tube doesn't work in Firefox; why not?

Firefox told me for safety reasons I needed to update the OS on my Mac which I did.
Now You Tube doesn't work in Firefox (though it does in other browsers)
On line I have have found an add-on which claims to fix the problem, but it comes with warnings that there might be safety issues. (Author not verified)
My OS system is up to date, as is Firefox.
Shall I just use another browser?

Try to update the Flash player.

I get no pictures on you tube only sound, why

I get no pictures on you tube only sound, why

The first suggestion of moving the slider solved the problem--although it has to be done each time I open a YOU Tube--but I can do that!! Thanks.

Older mac 2009 getting slower with new updates

Hi
This may be obvious - but does installing 6 years of updates onto my 2009 iMac result in the computer getting slower? Response times for searching in safari get longer etc and generally taking a few minutes to work fully is getting longer as the years go by. It could be old age I suppose.
Thanks

How much RAM do you have installed? Apple menu>About this Mac>Memory will show this information. 2gb of RAM and the Mac will work, but likely perform like a slug, 4gb is better, but in my experience performance is still not great. 8gb and the Mac should perform well. I recently upgraded an early '09 Mac with 4gb of RAM to 8gb and the difference is like chalk and cheese - no more spinning beachballs or fans working overtime.
Macsales and Crucial are good places to buy RAM, and it's very to do the upgrade yourself on 09 Macs:

My Mac seems to be getting slower and slower when it is processing, what can I do to clean it up?

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

My Mac is getting slower and slower, I need to restart it constantly.

I mostly use it just to browser the internet, watch movies and listen to music, but recently I have notice that I have to restart it at least once a day to keep the software working nicely with out any lags. Any tips or suggestions? I don't think I need any hardware update.
Cheers!

Updated to 3.6 cannot get gmail or youtube in bookmarks,uninstalling and restarting does not help still cannot get g.mailor my you tube account

upgraded to 3.6,lost all access to google for g mail, you tube and facebook,said ssl unsecure connection. This has never happened before and have been on firefox for years.

Hello Ian.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I switched modems to a cisco for high speed broadband now my homesharing will not show my computer so I cannot stream my movie collection. WI/Fi works as I can get apple TV and you tube. Of course my ISP is no help, any ideas.

After switching to a new Cisco router for higher speed broadband my homesharing will no longer show my computer so I cannot stream my movies. My WIFi functions as You tube Apple TV and Netflix all work,please help.

I have not tested the solution suggested in the article linked above.
But hope it helps.

My mac is getting slower

Does anyone know a reliable program to "clean" my mac? I've never had to do this but Lion seems to have slowed down my MacBook... It's just about 3 years old. Thanks!

Thanks! There's 19,9 GB left. I suppose there's no problem there?
I just checked the start up list in my profile... a lot on there! I took unnecessary programs of the list. Let me try to restart and see if it speeds up things. Keep you posted.

Printing with R1800 and Mac - now getting beautiful prints - thank you everyone

I want to give a huge "thank you" to all the people on this forum who have discussed how to set up color-managed printing on Epson printers. As a complete novice, I naively bought an R1800 printer and thought that I would just whip out my prints at home. Alas, after messing with this off and on for almost a year, and after burning through 2 complete sets of cartridges and untold quantities of Epson Ultra Premium Luster paper, I was roundly cursing color management, profiles, monitor calibration, Epson, Lightroom, and photography in general. But the information from Jason Hicking in post 17 of one of the many threads on printing problems ( http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c05eae6 ) fixed my problem and I am now getting gorgeous 13x19" prints that look like what I see on the screen. Jason Hicking deserves an extra round of kudos for the investigation he did on this.
I am just a hobbyist and got my very first SLR camera only 18 months ago. I could never have gotten to this point without everything I have learned from this forum. Many, many people contributed pieces of information that helped me put the puzzle together.
Now, anyone have any ideas on how to get more wall space for putting up framed photos? :)
--Kimberly Smith

Claude
Glad to hear you've now got a working solution as I know you've put a lot of effort in yourself to resolve the issue with your 3800. Keep us up to date with any changes will you?
DYP
Thanks for the thanks! I'm glad that I was able to nudge you in the right direction, sometimes we probably know the answer but just need someone to show us a different route to it. I'll come back to you shortly with regards to platform and driver versions if you don't mind as it will help in the research I'm doing as I mentioned in my initial reply to Kimberly.
John
I'll also keep you in the loop with the discussion between DYP and myself on the driver issues if you like, and I'll also try to explain the theory between using Epson profiles and custom-built profiles for those who'd like to usderstand the issue deeper.
I appreciate fully that it's not just Adobe but until someone can fully explain the complete workflow interactions between different versions of Lightroom, Colorsync and the Epson drivers then we'll have to keep coming back to the 'apparent' culprit which appears to be Lightroom's new print pipeline. I say 'apparent' as the tests I've done so far show that my workaround isn't needed for InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop running on the same platform and drivers as Lightroom. If anyone can get 'those who really know' at Adobe to openly describe the above then please do so as this will help with my other avenues of enquiry at Apple and Epson.
As Doyle said for those who custom profile their machines, myself included, the current situation is that we've got a workaround but not a solution. I consider this to be an ongoing quest until it turns into a reliable, user-friendly solution.
Cheers for now, anyone with any thoughts please feel free to chime in.

Mac book pro getting slow. Help me.

I have a macbook pro 13" 2011 model. And what I noticed now is that my mac is getting slow even though I didn't use any apps at all. My free memory is still 60 gig something so I don't think this could be the reason why it's getting slow. Any help? I already deleted other big apps and programs. Even though I don't use any program, the mac is getting slow now... what should I do? do i need those mac keeper thing? thanks for the help!

How's it going Crampy?
By the % on the CPU Processes.
Whatever is using the most CPU Processes is the one giving the most issue.
If you're using Firefox, Safari or Google, see if it's loading flash on activity monitor.
You will see under %CPU how much of the CPU is actually being used by that application.
The higher the percentage, the slower you get and the hotter your MB Pro gets.

Getting Slow after Migration to a new Mac

Every time, I've bought a new Mac and using Migration Assistant to migrate my data to new Mac. The new Mac is getting slower, not look like a hardware upgrade. For example, my Macbook Pro i5 needs more than 10 seconds to start MS Word while my MBA needs less than 2 seconds.
Will there so many scrap or unused data migrated from my old mac? And my "migration data" has been accumulated for several times since 5~6 years ago. I've used this "migration data" for every new Mac arrives. So, This is not the first time I've expereinced, this was happens several times when I bought a new Mac.
Please note that Spotlight Indexing is complete.
Thanks.
Regards,

Thanks for your suggestions. I've updated the software already (noticing that it was system, i-movie and garage band which were being updated) but that didn't help. Previously that did help for i-photo though.
Anyway, I tried the sudo thing, I got the following messages but still no i-movie :

Any other ideas?
