My Macbook Pro is slow for no apparent reason.

My mid 2012 Macbook Pro has all of a sudden become really slow. I really don't know why. I have shut down my computer many times to try and reset the RAM and everything. It has 4GB of RAM. I usually only have about 2GB when my computer starts up. I haven't had any unusual activity lately. I've just been doing my normal thing. Now the beach ball has to spin every couple of seconds sometimes. I can't even type a full sentence sometimes without it having to load something. Is there something going on in the background that I don't know about? I've tried running my antivirus, but it only scanned about 30,000 files (5%) in an 18 hour time period. I really don't know what's going on and it's frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated. If you need any other info posted, just let me know. I'll be happy to post it. Thanks!

Why is my computer slow?
What antivirus software? Uninstall it accordingly to the developers instructions. You don't need it.
Check memory usage:
Activity monitor > Memory > Page outs & Swap Used . What does it read?

My Macbook Pro suddenly, and for no apparent reason, will not connect to the internet?

About a week ago I went to go online and my computer said I had no internet connection. Around that same time I noticed that my background on my desk top was back to the factory set background it came with, but I did not change it. That is the only thing I noticed out of sorts. I asked the other members of my family if their computers had internet and they DO. So does my iPod. I knew it was not my internet service, but my computer.
There is a "!" on the internet signal icon (top right). When I click on it I get a message in the drop down menu that says "Alert: No Internet Connection...." When I click on that, I get "Network Diagnostics" pane asking me to select location. I choose 'automatic', 'continue', then 'Wi-Fi' and 'continue'. Then it asks me to select Wi-Fi network. I highlight my network then continue. At this point, the words on the left are Wi-Fi- with a green dot, Wi-Fi settings with a green dot, Network settings with a yellow dot, ISP with a green dot, and Interenet and Server both with red dots. Then it comes up * "Network Change Detected - your network configuration has changed. Click OK to proceed to the next step". When I click OK, it asks me for wireless security info. I choose WEP password and then put my password in, and check the box next to "remember password in keychain", then continue. Goes right back to the "Network Change Detected" message at the * above and all the dots to the left accept the Wi-Fi one are now RED. I just keep going in circles from there, continually coming back to this message no matter what I do! I have no idea what happened or what to do?!
Does anyone have any ideas? Please help! I am a student and don't have any money to take it to a professional. I am the only one in my house that has a Mac (everyone else has PC's) so no one can really help me troubleshoot. I'm not a techy at all, but can follow directions if anyone can give me specific steps to try. Thank you so much in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My MacBook Pro running slow-for everything

Hello everyone!
I am fairly new to the MacBook family. Just got my very first one last year for Christmas. It has been wonderful and I'm sure I'm not using it to its fullest potential. It hasn't given me a problem at all for an entire year until just about a week ago. Its running slow. Stagnant in fact. It takes forever to even boot up. I see the color wheel for everything that I try to click. Safari, Mail, etc. Even if I just want to shut down or restart. It seems to freeze on everything. And there was no warning to it. One day working fine and running at its usual lighting speed and the next day color wheel for everything.
I'm sure its new operator error and would love any suggestions on how to fix it (or what I am doing wrong) before I make an appointment to go talk to someone at our local Apple store.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

MacBook Pro Extremely slow for unknown reason.

Even typing this message is taking an age.
I woke up this morning, picked up my laptop and it's just being a right toad!
It's extremely slow and sluggish and won't even open some apps (Skype seems to be causing MAJOR problems and made the computer freeze big time - which I've never seen before) And mail just throws a hissy fit when checking for mail.
I uninstalled skype and it seems to have made a LITTLE bit of difference.
Even doing a spellcheck takes about a minute, it's silly.
I've done SMC and PRAM reset but it's had no effect at all. I've also repaired disk permissions.
I'm all out of options now. I've reset the computer about 10 times, deleted some temp files, emptied the trash, cleared the HDD - Everything.
The one thing I'm worried about is that it STINKS of a virus.....
I'm tired of seeing the beach ball of death and the power button is nearly worn out.
Any help is mucho appreciated

First your machine is NOT affected by a virus because none as in zero, nada, zip, nope exist for OS X. What it sounds like to me though is 1 of 2 possibilities, both related to your HD. First is it's too full, Mac's need a minimum of 10-15% of the disk available at all times. For example if your drive is 250GB it always should have at least 25-38GB available. If you aren't sure how much yours has in Finder click it and then type Command + I and it will tell you the size and how much is available.
The next thing I think it might be is that it's failing. I would recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode immediately and see if it reports any errors.

Macbook pro 13 inch mid 2010 crashing for no apparent reason

Hi there guys,
My Macbook Pro for the last few months keeps crashing for no apparant reason. I say this because it does not seem to matter what program I am running, how many programs I am running, or indeed have anything to do with my software. Im now sure of this because I took it to the genius bar today and they gave me a system format/reset and the problem is still there.
They also ran diagnostics on the hardware and everything seemed to be ok...
Has anyone else had this problem? I'll paste my report after my latest crash below incase anyone can make heads or tails of it!
Thanks everyone!

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by starting up in safe mode and then restarting as usual. 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. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve starting up from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Even if FileVault is not active, an aftermarket SSD may be the cause of kernel panics. Check the manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If the system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

Hi folks! My MacBook Air is making awkward little chipping sound... For no apparent reason. My Macbook Pro does the same. Goes like "chip... chip... chip", always three times in a row, for no apparent reason. Does anyone know how this occurs? Thanks

Hi folks! My MacBook Air is making awkward little chipping sound... For no apparent reason. My Macbook Pro does the same. Goes like "chip... chip... chip", always three times in a row, for no apparent reason. Does anyone know how this occurs?
It seems to be linked to the sound being on. When I mute the thing, it doesn't do it. When I plug headphones into it, it does it over the headphones.
Thanks for your help!

My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl. It started when I was printing off the Internet. Now I get the spinning circle in just about every move. Any help?

Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists

My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet. Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
Any advice is appreciated!

Melophage,
I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

DiskWarrior is a program that tries to repair low level directories that can get messed up. From their website ...
What is DiskWarrior?
DiskWarrior is the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer.
There are other utilities that do similar things.
Looking for login items is probably a better bet. You do this by opening System Preferences and then looking into Accounts. From there you should see a tab for Login Items. There will be some things you want to keep. iTunes helper and some other helper files are actually nice to have around, but you may have things that look like total sludge. Get rid of those. If you aren't sure, try to google the name of the program and you will likely get some more info about it before destroying it.

My MacBook Pro is slow, only safari open

It is 2 years old. 2.26GHz, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Not sure what to do? I only have safari open., My MacBook Pro is slow It is 2 years old. 2.26GHz, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Not sure what to do? I only have safari open, and it will freeze or the spinning rainbow wheel will come up for a long time. Or sometimes it shows that I am scrolling over something a good 5-10 seconds after I already have. Sometimes when I am typing, the letters appear later than when i have typed them. I am not sure what to do. Oh, and my security software is clean and up to date!
I have 85.22 GB of my 148.73 GB capacity available. I feel like it shouldn't be running this slowly!
Please Help!!

Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer.

My macbook pro is slow and the colorwheel turns a lot. Is there an antivirus software out there recommended by the apple community?
