My MacBook Pro is REALLY slow after a week of running Yosemite perfectly

I have a MacBook Pro (about 3 years old) and I have never had any problems with it.
When Yosemite was released I updated and my MacBook ran perfectly and faster then before for a little over a week. Then all of a sudden it became SO incredibly slow. There is a waiting time on everything that has to do with a computer; from when I make a keystroke to the letter actually pops up on the screen, when I click an icon to launch a program, and so - I think you get the picture. Always the **** rainbow circle.
I have searched so many forums online and tried a lot of different things such as re-indexing spotlight, the "Hold down the left shift, option and control keys together with the power button-trick", various "sudo" commands in terminal, cleaning out junk (not in a very structured matter, just old files I didn't need anymore). To be honest I have no idea what I am doing, I just try whatever the smart people in the forums suggest.
I am lucky to have very recently been gifted a brand new MacBook Pro retina bla bla bla, which I am writing this from now, so it's not really an emergency situation. It's just really annoying to have a MacBook I can't use and that also has ALL of my previous work and programs on it.
SO here's another question:  I would just really like to back my old MacBook up using Time Machine but as the MacBook is REALLY SLOW so is the back up process. At first it was stuck on "preparing" but I figured it was because my 500GB TM external harddrive was too small, so I bought a new 1TB external harddrive. Right now my old MacBooks is performing a back up  and has passed the "preparing" stage, but after around 20 hours it has no time estimation and has only backed up "1.28 GB of 98.29 GB" and I feel like this is WAY too ineffective and really shouldn't take that long. I cant wait 100 days for this thing to back up ?!?!?!?!
So basically I have a seriously slow MacBook Pro, so slow it actually cannot be used and so slow it cannot back up.
I tried using Migrant Assistant via bluetooth to my new MacBook, but as you probably have guessed - over 24 hours later it was still stuck, and I also had my doubts because I thought if the slow, demonic MacBook would simply just infect and possess my new, pure, virgin MacBook.
So this was probably confusing.
To sum it up:
- I am a girl and I am a technical neanderthal <3
- I have 2 MacBooks; one slow, one brand new - both running up-to-date Yosemite and other updates are on fleek
- It would be ideal for me to use Migrant Assistant to set my new Macbook to what I'm used to - can this be done without screwing up my new MacBook?
- I can't seem to get TM working on my old one - can I bring my iPhoto and iTunes library to safety manually (like my other folders)?
- I have not been a good girl, and that means my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
I really don't want to just wipe it completely, as I don't want to lose the programs I have installed - it's just such a hassle to reinstall and codes and what not.
Extra info if it's necessary to anyone:
I have monitored the CPU% for some time in the Activity Monitor and when literally no programs but the Activity Monitor is open and the CPU% of free CPU is 98% the computer is STILL ----------- SO --------------- SLOooooooooow..... ( just to clarify I have checked if there's random program that takes up all the CPU; there's not). Also I have no clue what CPU is so, if I have used it in a weird way in these sentences, please forgive me.
Product:
MacBook Pro (13", primo 2011)
OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Memory:
215.31 GB free out of 318.84 GB
My System Memory looks like this at CPU% = 1.15 right now :
"real memory" : 38.9 MB
"virtual memory" : 2.48 GB
"shared memory" : 20.4 MB
"private memory" : 10.6 MB
I have no idea what any of this means or if it has any significance, but it said that I should include it.
Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
I really really really hope that someone can (and want to) help me. It's not that I don't want to take it to any Mac-certified store, it's just I live in Denmark and the people who work at these stores always just say that they can "wipe it clear" so it's "as good as new" for a 100 bucks. We don't have Genius Bars and stuff..... I would really be so happy if ANYONE have just ANY solution to what would be a good idea to do now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

  • My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

    my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion?  Is anyone else having this issue?

    If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
    one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
    If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
    the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
    You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
    There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
    You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
    Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Lately my Macbook Pro is really slow

    My Macbook Pro is unbarebly slow. Launching Safari takes around 55 bounces/seconds. Just opening any app is something I time with making coffee or a bathroom visit, just because it takes forever. At first I was suspecting the HDD, but I've tried multiple softwares to diagnose the discs and no errors are reported. Diagnose softwares reports nothing wrong with my memory sticks either, but that could still be a fail source I guess.
    - I've repaired disc permissions
    - I've repaired/verified disc
    - I've reinstalled OS X
    I'm beginning to believe there's something wrong with OS X 10.8 and my older MBP and thinking about downgrading to see if that would help, but that doesn't seem like a sustainable solution to me.

    Suggestions for Resolving Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is 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.
    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.
    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):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. 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.
    Additional Hints
    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.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • My MacBook Pro gets really hot after I install OS X 10.10.3. Can Someone help?

    After i install OS X 10.10.3 my macbook pro gets really hot. I don't know why. Someone has a solution?

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Macbook Pro Retina really slow stop

    I've a problem: my new macbook pro 15" retina  display is really slow to going sleep. As a matter of fact if i click the stop button in the main menu  the screen became instantanely black but the mouse cursor is steel visible, it goes really in stop after 15 seconds..... Someone can help me to fix this proplem, or tell me if this is normal (i don't think so....)? Thanks.

  • MacBook Pro suddenly really slow, hangs often

    My MacBook Pro is about 2 years old. It had been slowing down and occasionally running out of memory, which I figured was due to the fact that my hard disk was kind of full (had about 100 Gig of space available, which I thought should be enough, but whatever). But in the past 2 days this has gotten really, really worse. It's almost unusable. It's running Snow Leopard.
    It takes a full 5 mibutes to start.
    When I open an application it takes really long to open, then evey few things I do it hangs for a couple of minutes with the rainbow wheel spinning. Occasionally an application completely stops responding, and has to be force quit.
    This even happens if I have only one app open at a time.
    What has changed recenttly:
    • 2 weeks ago I switched from DSL to cable. I have a new cable modem and wireless router. There is some random software that Comcast sent me but I don't think it's even installed.Things were still running slow and frustrating but pasable after that.
    • 5 days ago I bought a new Droid 3 cell phone, and installed The Missing Sync on my computer to sync music, photos and calendar. It still ran slow after that, but not crazy messed up like now. I don't remember if the speed seemed any worse -- I just know that it didn't hang often the way it does now. 
    • 2 days ago I bought a new MacBook Pro with a faster processor, runnign Lion. I started migration assistant, then realized it was going to take 14 hours and I had work to do, so I stopped the assistant. and decided to run it again later. I think it's since then things became a complete mess, and every day that passes seems worse.
    • In the meantime, I may or may not have installed some software updates. I get update notices all the time, and generally install them right away without giving them much thought. In fact, now that I think of it, Firefox startded acting pretty slow after the last update (spinning wheel when opening new tabs, loading information, switching from one tab to the other), which I attributed to a buggy new release but it might be related. I don't know how long ago that was; I think about a week or two. There may have beensome OS udates too, I can't remember.
    I did run migration assistant again late last night, after cleaning out my old hard disk (backing things up to DVDs and external drives) so it would have less data to transfer. But it transfered over everything, including old apps thatI don't need and don't know how to uninstall, and I am worried that I might have transeferred over whatever the problem was with the old computer. I can't easily test because the apps that I use every day (Microsoft Office 2008 and the Adobe Creative Suite CS4) don't run on Lion so I will have to buy upgrades for everythign before I can do any work on this computer, which is quite frustrating in itself but a different story. So I haven't been able to test whether my new laptop has the same problem; it does generally seem faster but not as much of a speed increase as I had hoped.
    I ran disk utility on the old laptop, and it did find some directory issues, but I can't repair it because I don't have any discs to start up from. Why is it that Apple doesn't ship disks with its software? Granted, my new laptop runs a different operating system from the old one, but I didn't receive any system disks with it so I really don't have anything to start externally from if there ever are any problems.
    I want to keep the old mac. I occasionally travel to countries where I don't feel comfortable bringing a new expensive computer, so I intend to use my old computer as a travel laptop and the new one as my primary work laptop in my home office. But that means that I don't want to have to throw out the old one, I need to get it working again.
    (also, until I install the Microsoft and Adobe upgrades, I can't do any work on my new laptop and I have deadlines to meet that I will need to continue working on with the old laptop) (which, in fact, makes thisissue rather urgent -- I ned to keep working while it's being resolved)

    OK, so someine suggested I run AppleJack -- it did make some repairs and now Disk Utility doesn't see anything wrong with my directory, but still finds some permissions problems. Almost all of them seem to be in System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app. Says:
    should be -rw-r--r--, they are lrw-r--r--
    Do I need to fix these or can I leave as is? What is Front Row? Does it make any difference who has permissions on these if they are for a program I don't use?
    Also:
    stalling problems seem to have been resolved for now (I opened 3 different apps and they seemto work OK). But I still have a problem with the Microsoft Office applications -- I can't easily switch to/from Excel or Word from/to any other apps, I can't CTRL-TAB and select the app, I have to go to that app's window (means moving other windows around until I can see it) and click on it to switch to that app. It's doable but a nuisance. Can it be fixed?
    Also - important:
    Would the directory problems I had on my old hard disk have affected the information I ported over to the new laptop yesterday? Will I have the same problems on my new laptop? I can't check because I haven't downloaded the upgrades to Microsoft Office and to the Adobe CS Suite, so I pretty much can't open hardly any programs on my new machine right now.  I thought maybe I should run Applejack on that too, just to check, but apparently it doesn't work with OSX 7 Lion.

  • MacBook Pro being really slow and vert little free RAM.

    Hi,
    Just recently my MacBook Pro has been running really slowly when navigating between applications and tabs in safari. I checked to see how much RAM was free and it said only 30MB. I have no more apps open or things running than I normally do. This Mac is 6 months old but my old mac that was nearly 3 years old tended to run quicker, and as mentioned, I have no more apps running than I previously had. Maybe Word, Excel, iTunes and Safari. Can anyone help explain what might be making it slow and what might be hogging all the RAM?
    Thanks
    Matt

  • My New Macbook Pro 15" is slow after loading my old files

    Hi There -
    I had purchased a macbook pro a couple of years ago. After a couple of repairs the Macstore decided to replace my mac. They gave me the New Mac Book Pro (2.2 Ghz i7).  I was told that I should back up my old laptop using time machine and load it onto the new one. I did just that, followed all the instructions and i have all my files and programs (except of outlook which was a bit of a pain!!). In anycase, the issue I am having is that my new computer is very slow, everything lags and its just not fast, like it should be. I was wondering if you could help me figure out what could be wrong.
    Is there a way I can optamize my computer? Is it possible that the old files are in a different format than the current version of my computer and that's why its lagging.
    Any suggestions would be great.
    Thank You
    Ajay

    Hi there the specs are:
    2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor
    750GB 5400-rpm hard drive
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5 memory
    2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 6MB L3 cache
    Optional 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB L3 cache
    4 gigs of ram.
    all the software should be compatable with the os- i had the same os on the other computer

  • Brand new MacBook Pro has really slow download and streaming speeds

    I'm new to Macs, and don't know much about computers in general. But I got a 13" MacBook Pro almost two weeks ago and have been experiencing really slow download and video streaming speeds. Pages load one image at a time, Netflix is almost impossible to use because the videos will stop buffering every five minutes even if I let them buffer for more than ten minutes. I haven't been experiencing any issues with wifi on my phone, and I've troubleshot our router. I'm not sure what it could be--but then again, I don't know a whole lot. Before I go running off to the Apple Store or call support, is there anything I can try in the meantime? Thanks!
    Here are the system specs:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel Iris
    Software  OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    74.23 GB free out of 120.47 GB

    Check with your isp regarding your download & upload speeds as well as streaming.  You need to determine if the issue is on their end.  You can also check on the speedtest.com website.  Compare what your isp tells you to the net speed website. 

  • Macbook pro 2008 super slow after fresh mavericks install

    I install fresh snow leopard and mavericks after that, before i do this, my mac worked super fast and everithyng was great with snow leopard, after I intall mavericks the computer just got super slow, in every situation, opening apps or surfing the web is  a pain in the... I hope apple fix this fast or I`ll be forced to go back to snow leopard again.
    I have a macbook pro late 2008
    core 2 duo 2.53hz
    4gb ram 1067 mhz ddr3
    512 nvidia geforce 9400m 256mb & dedicated geforce 9600m gt with 512mb
    HD: TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100

    That is normal for a few hours. Spotlight is rebuilding its index of all connected drives. Disconnect any that are external and it will settle down soon. You can reconnect them when you go to sleep so that Spotlight can complete indexing.

  • Macbook Pro Mid-2012 slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    A few days ago, my macbook started to run very slowly on Mountain Lion. This was the first time that I ever had any issues with it. So I decided to upgrade to Mavericks and see if that would solve it. I did a clean install of the OS and it is still fairly slow (especially chrome). It feels like every time I open a new tab in safari or open a new application, I would get the spinning pinwheel.
    I ran disk repair/disk permissions and reset the PRAM and still no luck.
    Also, when I close the lid, it will not go to sleep.
    Could this be a sign that the hdd is going bad?
    Here are my specs:
    MBP 13", Mid 2012
    8gb 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    OSX 10.9.4
    750gb hdd 5400rpm

    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 documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; 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 the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
