My Macbook Pro is so slow-.HELP!

Hello everyone,
I have had my Macbook pro for about 4 years now and it is incredibly slow.  I believe it is because of the lack of space on the hard drive or something like that.  I am not very tech savvy but when I went to my local Apple store they said that my Macbook only has 2g of somekind of internal memory which is why it is running slow.  The guy I spoke with actually recommended buying more memory on Amazon and installing it myself or pay someone because if I did it at the Apple store it would run around $200 vs. Amazon would be around $40.  The processor that I have is a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.  Memory: 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  I am running version 10.7.5 software.  Also when digging further it says that I have a 160 GB SATA Disk and that out of all that space I only have 507.7 mb of storage left.  I would that this would obviously be my problem with the computer being so sluggish taking forever to have more that one app open at a time and so on.  Also what is shows is taking up all the memory is labeled under 'other' and has used 158.67GB.  Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, and Backups all show 'Zero KB'.  I don't understand that though because I easily have 7000+ pictures on this Macbook.  Could they be under the 'Other'?
Any help with the direction to take to make this Macbook Pro faster would be greatly appreciated.  Has anyone ever purchased additional memory or what I need on Amazon to save some money?  Or just tell me what I need lol.  Thank you to everyone who helps me out!
Donovan
** Also I just received a message after posting this that the 'start up disc is full' on this Macbook Pro and I need to delete some files or something.  Any help here would be great as well.  Thank you everyone.

Donovan,
MacTracker is just an Apple database - but I was able to find your model by using it.
Only you can determine if you've files that can be deleted. Everything inside your user folder (except the Library folder) is fair game to be tossed. I know you want to keep your iPhoto library, though! You could get an external drive and copy your iPhoto library to it and I'm sure that would free up some space. That may be your best, but temporary, fix. I would still recommend a larger internal drive and more RAM. Since you have a Firewire 800 port, you may want to look at OWC, again, for external drives with FW800 connections - that's the speediest port on your model.
I trust OWC on any of their external drives - they're truly Mac experts. For RAM, I prefer Crucial, although OWC sells fine RAM as well.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly very slow - Help please!

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 13in Macbook Pro and it has been doing well up until this week when everything I click forces me to go through the pinwheel for long amounts of time. This especially happens when minimizing, opening and closing new windows as well as using the four-finger gesture on my trackpad. I opened Activity Monitor and the CPU usage looks fine - Google Chrome is the largest %CPU used at 8%. Under "System Memory", it shows that Page outs is 507GB and Page in is 27 GB.
    Is there any other information necessary to determine what I can do to fix this?
    A quick reply would be VERY appreciated. Thanks

    It appears your MacBook Pro is suffering from a dearth of RAM for the programs you are using, but more information is required for a definitive conclusion. Read: Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used
    Google Chrome runs poorly on a Mac and may be responsible for devouring your Mac's available resources. Until Google figures out how to develop for OS X don't use it.
    To purchase memory go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options. Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. Avoid purchasing memory from PC vendors because the Mac is intolerant of memory that does not meet its stringent specifications.

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow, help?!

    Of course, the curse of finals week strikes. As of a few days ago I woke up one morning and my computer started running really slow. It takes forever to restart, open tabs on the internet, switch between applications... everything. I always get the spinning wheel and it drives me insane. I have been reading a few posts, but I think it would be better to get some knowledge on what is actually wrong with my laptop. Any help is very much appreciated... coming from a stressed out college student!!!

  • MacBook Pro 13" extremely slow, help!

    I bought the mac last summer (2012) and it's been flawless up until a short while ago. It's an i5 with 4gig ram and 500 HDD.
    Of the two USB ports, the one closest to me stopped working less than a month ago (this is not the issue I want help with though, just mentioning it as it might be related somehow). A week later, I upgraded to Mavericks and everything remained the same. Computer was fine (except the usb port), then one night the computer crashed while I was using a music production program (which I've been using daily since I got the mac).
    This is when the mac started going slow.
    Starting the computer up now took 4-5 minutes and there was no point trying to open an application. I managed to back everything up (though it took about 15 minutes just to select all files, then two-three hours to move them to the external drive) and started the process of reinstalling OS X. I formatted the drive, which was a fairly quick process. Installing OS X however, took about 12-13 hours! So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the hard drive.
    After OS X was installed, the computer was faster than before but still slower than pre-Mavericks. Even though I just formatted everything, I decided to repair permissions on the drive and it repaired 4 errors. It didn't make the computer much faster though. I can however use the computer now, but it is still laggy and sometimes slow. Booting up the computer now only takes 1-2 minutes.
    So what do you guys think? Is it definitely a hardware problem or is there something I haven't done that might fix it? As I said it's faster than before I reinstalled the OS X but I still won't be able to use a music production app, it is too slow for that.
    I appreciate any answers!

  • MacBook Pro is running slow.  Please help!

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro is slow to boot up, slow to open applications, and takes awhile to process actions (like clicking a link or selecting a field in which to type).  I have posted an Etresoft snapshot of my system in hopes that perhaps it can help diagnose the problem.  If possible, I would like to increase the over all speed of my system.  I believe some of the errors are due to failed/corrupt apps that launch on start up, but I am not sure.  Any help that this community can offer would be very helpful.
    Thanks!
    Problem description:
    MacBook Pro is very slow.

    my 3 year-old macbook pro is very slow. I have run disk utility and virus scan with no improvement. The "beach ball" will spin for minutes at a time when opening, closing or changing windows. Apple Store looked at it a few months ago with no help. What can I do?

    Under CPU: 3.5% user; 5% system; 91% idle; 441 threads; 90 processes.
    Under System: out of 2GB - 54.7MB free; 530MB wired; 603MB active; 862MB inactive; 1.95GB used.
    Is too much of the system memory tied up? If so, what can I do to free some up?

  • My macbook pro is going slow lately

    My macbook pro is going slow lately, it takes longer time to just open a finder window or a simple photo or word document or pdf document. Everything in general goes slower than before.
    I don´t know what to do to fix this and have the macbook pro run as it used to before.
    Thank you

  • 2010 Macbook pro is running slow in Mavericks.  Do I need more than 4gb ram?

    My late 2010 13" 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro is running slow since upgrading to Mavericks.  I currently only have 4gb of ram.  When I boot up It takes quite awhile (nearly 5 minutes or more) before the system is usable.  Or it takes almost as long to switch to another user.  Once I let it sit, it runs fine.  I'm mostly using Safari and possibly MS Word at any given time.  I looked at the Activity monitor and I believe I'm using aboiut 3.6 - 3.9gb of physical memory and over 4gb of virtual memory.  Swap is using 0 at all times.
    Do I need more RAM?  Wipe my drive and do a fresh install?  I'm reluctant to do the latter, because I don't want to have to reinstall all of my apps (even witha TM backup).
    Thanks all

    Thanks Linc for any help-
    Hope I didn't paste too much.  Uninstalling CleanMyMac has already helped some.  Here goes:

    I’ve tried running 10.10 on quite a few different computers with 4GB of RAM and a standard mechanical hard drive and all of them performed worse with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks (10.9). And about a year ago I found that they performed better with Mt Lion (10.8) than Mavericks. Each version of the Mac OS has required more memory than the version that came before it and that means that every couple of years the minimum acceptable RAM is increased. Apple signaled this quietly at the Apple Store - only one computer now ships with 4GB of RAM. (And I can tell you from personal experience that in that configuration it is not fun to use.)
    Bottom line: you need at least 8GB of RAM or an SSD. Both are better. In the meantime run as lean a machine as possible. MacKeeper is a waste of money no matter what anyone might tell you. At best it is not necessary and is a waste of money.

    @dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that?  I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
    Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
    Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under

    @Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
    1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
    2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
    besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:
