My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode

My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode when I press Alt + Power it takes me to Mac os Utilities the mouse barely moves, I erased every thing on the hard drive so I can install a fresh copy of mac os but I couldn't because every time I try to boot up from the USB that got the mac os it takes for ever to load the OS for installtion, and some times every thing freeze when I'm on the Mac os Utilities mode. Any ideas of what's going on ?

Contact AppleCare or make an appt with your local Apple Store Genius. I don't think this is a problem we can help with.

why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

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.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

I have been having trouble with logmein, over time more people I provide IT support for are having major slow ups and crashes, seems to be logmein. I think they are slowly rolling out automtatic updates that are causing it.
Try uninstalling it!
Open the control panel, in about there is an uninstall option.

2014 Macbook Air running slow?

My 2014 Macbook Air seems to be running a little slower since updating, I have a lot of memory available and I haven’t downloaded anything from the web. I’ve also done the resets and emptying cache in Chrome and all that, it started running faster after that. I don’t know if its just chrome or the whole system.

Webroot is the likely culprit.    Most antivirus software slows down Macs.   In general good safe computing practices are sufficient to prevent viruses. No peer2peer software. No opening of attachments from unknown sources.     No opening of attachments that have extensions that Macs can execute (.exes are harmless unless Windows is on the Mac).   If you must have anti-virus ClamAV or Sophos are better.
Ask the authors of Webroot how to completely remove their software so you aren't left with lingering effects.

My Macbook Pro running slow even after format

Hello guys, I've had this problem with my 2009 unibody 13" Macbook Pro for at least a month. Last month I tried to reinstall OSX Lion which i previously had, but the install failed for saveral attemps (probably for my slow internet). I finally managed to get OSX Lion on and it was increadibly slow even no programs are installed so I reinstalled it again and again but the same problem still comes up. So i went to an Apple Store (Thailand) and the apple guy assisted me by trying harddisk permission repair, reinstalling the os again, none worked, i still get a super slow computer. So I went home and downgraded the os to snow leopard, it seemed to work just fine at first but after i install several (4-5) basic applications, it started to get slow again (still faster than when it was lion). Whenever i open two or three applications at once or even browsing a webpage alone i get the spinning rainbow cursor. Somebody told me its probably the harddrive, who do u think? please help - thanks.

Yes it is your hard drive.
Backup your files off the machine and before you reinstall OS X again, this time use the 10.6 disk > Disk Utility > Erase with Security Option > Zero All Data, make sure your ENTIRE hard drive is slected on the left.
Let that complete and install 10.6, then update to 10.6.8, that should be the fastest OS X version for that machine.
If you go to 10.7, it's going to slow down a little bit again.
If you can't complete the Zero erase (it takes some time to finish) after trying 2x and or still having problems after that, then the drive is causing the defective sectors and needs to be replaced.
Keep your boot drive below 50% filled for maximum performance, but never more than 80% filled.

MacBook Pro running slow even after RAM update.

I upgraded from 512 to 2GB of memory because Mac was running slow such as applications would some times take forever to open especially files on quicktime. After the upgrade though i have the same problem, Slow performance. Any advice or solutions?

Hi Vetty, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It would help to know exactly which model of MBP you have.
Also, how much free space do you have available on your HD? If under 10%, that is likely the problem.
Some things you can try:
Background Maintenance in Terminal
1. Log in to an administrator’s account.
2. Open Terminal (located in Applications, Utilities).
3. Copy and paste in the following command (or type it exactly):
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
4. Press Return.
5. Type in your password when asked (note: you will not see anything being entered as you type your password).
6. Hit Return.
7. Wait until the Terminal prompt returns; this can take 5-10 minutes, but is usually under 5 minutes (the prompt returning will be your only notice that the tasks have finished).
8. Quit Terminal.
Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen go to Installer Menu>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).
Repair Permissions: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility>select HD in panel at left>click on Repair Permissions at bottom of main window and allow process to finish before quitting DU.

Macbook Air running slow--receiving error message when trying to post Etrecheck report

My Macbbok air is running really slow over the past couple of weeks. I'm pretty new to the world of Macs so not sure what I can and cannot do to improve performance.
I am trying to include the report from Etrecheck in my post, but everytime I paste it and attempt to post I receive a message that says: You have included content in your post that is not permitted.
If anyone can tell me what I am including that is not allowed I will fix it and post the report so I can be helped.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Macbook Air runs slow and very hot!

The lastest version of MBA (2010), suddenly the fan runs and hot, then every programs are working slowly. Everytime, click something, the rainbow circle mark shows up and spins.
I tried to cool the fan off using cooling fan (connected MBA), my brother has same one, he is doing same thing one week before.
I am living in Powell River, I called to centre, they recommended me that I should visit one of Apple center. But then I have to trip at least one day.
I read all stuffs in this commuities...but still I couldn't get answers.
Could you somebody who is expert about this, help me please.
I didn't download Lion of new version. I bought this last year in December...so it is really new one.
Typing is okay...but when I tried to open one of all programs...every time it takes so long, and sometimes freezing.
And the fan is running...heat.
Start up is okay, thought a little slower than three days ago.
Well...I can't explain well...but I am sure, you guys had same situation like me.
Did you fix it? how?

MacBook Air running slow since OS X Upgrade, what gives?

Processor: 1.6 GHz intel Core 2 Duo; Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; I have 58 GB remaining of the 120 I have.
My Mac was runnning perfectly until I decided I needed to "upgrade". Now, I get slow to load pages, the beach ball of death crops up more and more, scrolling on pages is like scrolling through mud, and many other nuisances I did noy have before OS X.
I tried repairing disks and permissions, all were fine. Oh, and I use Chrome, because Safari completely *****.
Help!

I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro.

You have nearly run out of disk space. Either purchase a larger one or start cleaning out the one you have?

Why is my macbook pro running slow. It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser. I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out. Would be super grateful. :-)

Hi. This is my first time posting. My Macbook Pro with Os X Mavericks has been running super slow since before I installed Mavericks so I'm pretty sure it's not the OS that has the problem. It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser, particulary google chrome. If mail is open...forget about it, down to a crawl. I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out. Would be super grateful. :-)
P.S. - Also, it sounds like something is loose inside my mac. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!

There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

Macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.
