  • Hello! My MacBook Pro has suddenly started running slow.

    Hello!
         I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2011 and it has suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a month. I've restarted my MacBook several times and even shut it down when I know I will not be using for the remainder of the day. I've tried numerous things to make it run faster including deleting useless files like text documents, pictures, videos, etc. I currently have 92.67GB free of 500GB . I've noticed that when it gets hot it starts running slow or when I play a video game and sometimes when I play videos online.

  • My MacBook suddenly started running slow

    Hello! I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2010 and it suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a week already. I've restarted my MacBook many times and when I'm not using it I shut it down. I've tried many things to make it run faster and deleted 14k files that were mostly text documents, pictures, videos, etc. and deleted my whole iTunes library hoping it would work but nothing. I currently have 77.07 GB left but space has never been the problem since in the past I've had 10GB or to the point where I had no GB and it still ran perfectly. Two things I've noticed is that when it gets hot it starts running slow and also when I start watching videos on youtube or ones that are already in my MacBook. Last night I reset my SMC hoping it would work better and it only ran slow because of the heat but I see no change. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before taking it to the Apple Store and spending money on something I could've probably fixed myself.
    Here's some information on my MacBook
    MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 220M 256 MB
    Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    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. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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).
    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.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    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.
    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.
    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 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 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 (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 has all the sudden started running slow and freezing up all the time , any ideas why or what to do

    Hello ,
    I am not very good with tech things , I have a Mac Book Pro and have had it for almost two years with no problems. Now for the past week or so it has started running extremely slow and freezing up all the time. I am not really sure what is going on but is there any advice on something to do or any idea what could be wrong.

    My MacBook Pro is running very slow.

  • My MacBook Pro suddenly started running slow

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro started running extremely slow a couple of days ago. I tried to search for help and found this forum where people had the same problem. I see that people are advised to check with etrecheck software and post it here to have further instructions. So I did mine and below are my results. I have opened the back of my laptop, cleaned up everything including the dirty fan and reseated the hard drive (which I had problem with loose cable in the past). It seems to fix the slow problem at the moment but the problem keeps appearing once in a while. So I hope someone could help me out. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi dippypants and dominic23,
    Thanks for your help. I followed dippypants' advice and checked the Activity Monitor. Most of the processess that occupy my CPU and memory are Safari and Safari Web Content. Sometimes when these go down to low, I still have the same problem with computer running super slow.
    I then followed dominic23's advice to look for MacKeeper not only in Applications but my whole laptop but I could not find it any where. Yet it still shows when I do the etrecheck. Do you guys think I might have some malware problem?
    Thanks! Any help is much appreciated.

  • My iMac suddenly started running slow. almost every action invokes the color wheel

    my imac suddenly started acting very choppy.  streaming internet music works normal. every action requires a delayed response. sometimes 30 sec before it starts the command. i have not downloaded any programs in months. my imac is running OS x 10.8.2 with 4GB ram.my HDD has 65Gb free space. ext HDD has 248GB free space. i do not use any virus programs.

    Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • My Mac is 3-4 months old and has suddenly started running slow?

    Is there something I can do such as a clean up?

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • Mac suddenly started being slow, crashing, and glitchy? Help please

    Ok,
    So I have an eary 2011 model Macbook Pro 13' with 4gb hardrive with a 2.3ghz i5
    My mac used to work great, literally no problems, i only do simple stuff like microsoft word, youtube, browse the web, itunes and spotify etc.
    Basically the other day i was ordering concert tickets from ticketmaster.com and suddenly my computer like just froze and nothing worked at all so i just held the power button down and let it reboot, then it got so glitchy
    it was crashing, nothing was loading, every action i made required the rainbow spinning wheel thing. oh and for some reason the sound option no longer appeard it was like a faded gray, and no sound came from the computer. so i went to the app store and updated my software ( i was on mountain lion but i dont know which version)
    since ive updated im on 10.8.4 and that fixed the sound problem, but my computer is still messed up or something
    when i boot it up and have to enter in my password it just starts lagging and freezing, everything i do i get the rainbow spinning wheel, spotify fades in and out and constantly freezes as does itunes and safari crashes alot especially when im just trying to play a video. not to mention netflix doesnt play anymore (it keeps saying the plugin failed or something).
    i thought it might be a virus but i scanned (with iAntivirus from the mac app store) and it said it was clean. Also my computer takes forever to connect to wifi, before this happened i could open up my computer and it would immediatly connect but now it takes like 3 minutes ( i know that sounds like a petty problem but its an issue when im a student and have to open up my computer and immediatly start working)
    ive also checked my activity moniter but nothing shows up as draining the CPU. my ram says its realitivly free
    i havent downloaded anything new, i havent dropped my computer or anything either
    and just to be clear, my computer had no problems prior to this ticketmaster thing.
    thank you in advanced for anyone that can help,
    i start school very soon and i really need my computer to work, i rely on it heavily

    Start up in Safe Mode.

    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 iMac Mid 2010 Has Suddenly Started To Slow Down.

    Hello,
    My iMac has suddenly started to slow down. It was fine just a week ago.. Login time has increased, Applications take a while to start and they can sometimes make my computer unresponsive.
    Finder freezes and so does safari.
    I have deleted ALOT of old files and things i don't use anymore. I deleted my Windows Partition. I have also tried my options in disk utility but it seems to have not no effect. I also re-installed Mavericks.
    I don't know what else to try. Please let me know if there is anything i haven't tried.

    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.

  • My iMac suddenly started running extremely slowly.  Any ideas as to what might be causing it?

    My iMac has always run like a champ but it suddenly started running very slowly today.  I haven't done anything different.  I'm not running all kinds of programs.  I've restarted several times and it takes about 20 minutes to start up.  The little color wheel starts spinning every time I start to do anything and each task takes 10-20 minutes to complete.  I can't do much in the way of self-diagnosis as it takes too long to do anything.  I'm writing this from another computer.  Any ideas of things to try before I bring it in for repairs?
    Thanks.

    In general you should always have at least  15 - 20% of your hardd rive Free
    No, this is an urban legend; you don't need 15-20% free. You should try to maintain around 30GB free, no matter what the size of your drive--and that's just a very rough ballpark; you may need much less or more,  depending on how you use your computer. But you won't notice slowdowns of this order until you get really close to the edge, much lower than 30GB.
    There are two possible causes for this. One, your drive is failing and you should be sure you have all your data backed up on an external before it dies completely. To check your drive get the free demo of SMART Utility. (But don't even think about doing this until you have a backup in place. That's much more important.)

    The other is you may have exhausted all your available RAM and the the system is writing to the hard disk instead because nothing is left. The drive may be "thrashing" trying to accomplish this. This will make things very slow and eventually may just freeze everything up.
    Open Activity Monitor in Utilities, go to the System Memory tab. How much free memory is showing? What do you see for Page ins, Page outs and Swap used?

  • The spot removal tool in Lightroom 5 has suddenly started running REALLY slowly, to the point of being unusable.  What should I do?!

    My spot removal tool was working absolutely fine and then suddenly started running really slowly.  I now can't adjust easily as there's a lag of about 5 seconds between moving the mouse and the icon moving on screen. I've tried splitting my catalog (which is not actually that big - less than 3000 photos) but that doesn't work.  Help!  I really need to do some photo editing and I'm running really far behind work-wise!

    This has nothing to do with catalog size. Splitting the catalog won't help.
    This is a common issue with the spot removal tool, if you remove LOTS of spots in a single photo, it will begin to run slowly; the more spots you remove, the slower it will get. If you have a photo which requires huge amounts of spot removal, it would be better to do this in a "desctructive editor" like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
