My MacbookPro is incredibly slow after installing LION OS

Guys i am getting totally desperate ... my Mac is so slow that it irritates me so much that i don't know what to do with it anymore.
I have tried to verify permission, repair permission, verify disk, repair disk, but my Mac is still soo slow.
i have read so many posts about it and nothing seems to work
If i get back to snow leopard, what would happened with my £20 which i spend for LION ... will i loose it ...
shall i complain to APPLE??
thanks

  • Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks

    I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
    Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
    As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
    I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)
    I spotted other people advise running EtreCheck, here are my results:

    CleanMyMac is probably your problem.
    CleanMyMac is crapware.
    Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize",  "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
    I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install.

  • My computer is really slow after installing lion

    Help! I installed lion and now my computer is deathly slow. I also couldn't login initially. Scared about what's to come...

    Has spotlight finished indexing yet? if not that could be the cause. if spotlight has finished indexing
    you could try repairing disk permissions, with disk utility, clearing caches could also help.
    Run activity monitor for a while and post a snapshot of it here.

  • Hey have anyone noticed Safari being Slower after Installing LION OSX ?

    I purchased the LION OSX as soon as they have launched it and from the day I had Installed this OS , my Safari Browser is not the same ( in comparision with  speed ) as in Snow Leopard . I have deleted all the Cache , Reset the Safari many times as instructed by the Apple care to make it much responsive as it used to be . I don't know whether you people might have this problem or not ! If you know a solution to set right this problem please give the Solution . I am using OPERA browser right now and its good .
    Thank You .

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time.

  • IPhoto 2 seems to run incredibly slow after installing 10.4.6 OSX

    My imac seems to crawl if I run iPhoto since I installed OSX 10.4.6. I am running iPhoto 2 but cant seem to find a way to move it to iPhoto 6. Is this affecting my performance (running such an old version of iPhoto on the new OSX system?)

    Brian:
    How much RAM and how much free space on your boot drive do you have?
    Try keeping all of the rolls closed except for those you're working with, keep the thumbnail size to about 4-5 across and turn off the drop shadow in iPhoto's Preferences. That will speed up iPhoto 2 somewhat.
    If you tried to run the iPhoto 6 updater and couldn't that's because it will only work with iPhoto 6.0 or newer. iPhoto 6 is only available thru the purchase of iLife 06.

  • My macbook pro runs slow after install of lion

    i was wondering if anyone is having any issues after installing lion and doing the 10.7.3 update? i noticed a slow performance after i did the  update. i also added 8 gigs of memory hoping this would help, but it didnt i also formatted the drive install snow leo and my boot time was 2 minutes i upgraded to lion and my boot time jumps to 6 plus minutes. i have run the disk permission finds some problems then repair but still my macbook runs slow HELP ME!!!!!

    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, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
    Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
    If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
    Step 2
    Do the same with kernel.log.
    Step 3
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

  • After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

    please help me resolve my problem.  after installing lion my system was running great for about a week.  suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them..  unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage.  Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
    please help

    Peter, thank you for responding.  No, I am not referring to the initial start up.  I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites.  Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
    I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari.  I will see how it goes.
    I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures.  I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite.  As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
    No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

  • 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!

    After installing lion my Macv pro became very slow. takes long time to start ad to shoot down. Is there any fix for this?

    Lion does best when you do a clean install on a new drive, then use Setup or Migration Assistants.
    You're going to have to show / ask what old stuff you carried over from before most likely.
    Then again, people complained when Snow Leopard came out. And before that there was...
    To say it starts and shutdown more slowly is the surface superficial and doesn't say how installed, what, even the model Mac Pro and how it is configured.
    You are going to want to use Safe Mode and Lion Recovery and backups for starters most likely.

  • My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

    My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
    What can I do?

    Ha  ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
    BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

  • Slowing up after installing Lion OSX

    Since I got Lion OSX, my mac has been really slow to start up. When I bought my Macbook, One thing I was really surprised over was how fast it was to start up, like within 10 sec. it was ready to use, but now, especially after installing Lion OSX, it take more than 1 min. What can I do, to make it start up faster?
    Thank you for your help

    Maybe you are running some system tool that is incompatible with Lion.  Double check your Startup Items, and compare with this page here:

  • My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion

    My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion. I have a 4 GB DDR3 ram and 2.4 GHz Processor. The Mac was running just fine on Snow Leopard. Has anyone else faced this issue?
    Any suggestions on how to solve it?
    Thank you

    I refer you to the TM expert

    As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
    Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

  • HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

    Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.
