RAM maxed after Mavericks install. Please help.

My 3G of RAM is maxed out after installing Mavericks on my mid 2007 imac. 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo ; 3 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I cant even run two apps without it getting bogged down and I can't find any good solutions on the forums. Please help. I've looked through the forums as I have always done before, but have been unable to find any solid leads this time.

  • SLOW and SLUGGISH after clean install PLEASE HELP!

    My Macbook Pro started acting slugggish a few nights ago, and it seemed after a reboot that it ran better, but quickly slowed down.  I ran permissions, disk repair, reset the PRAM the SMC and etc... nothing helped.  I tried to do a Time Machine restore and after 10 hours of SLOW restoration (it still had 70 hours left) i decided to do a CLEAN INSTAL of Yosemite 10.10.
    Same thing, takes over 10 minutes to boot up and i click on something and the beach ball will spin for a minute.
    Disk Utility says everything is OK.... but even the internet is sluggish as if the entire machine is not processing the information fast enough.
    ANY HELP is greatly appreciated as this is on day 4.
    Thanks
    Steve

    CLEAN INSTALL took over 8 hours to complete, as if everything is running in slow mode.
    Also, i ran this app as i see most ask for it.
    Problem description:
    Clean Install - OS very sluggish and slow before and after clean install

  • My printers are not working after mavericks install. What can I do to fix - PLEASE HELP! It is my lifeline - we are a print shop!

    My printers are not working after mavericks install.
    The printer just PAUSE and can't be resumed.
    What can I do to fix - PLEASE HELP!
    It is my lifeline - we are a print shop!

    Go to the printer manufacture website and download the drivers for your printer model for OS X v10.9 Mavericks.
    Then open System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    Select your printer on the left then click -  (minus)
    Then click + (plus) to add the printer.

  • My macbook pro 15inch running on maverick when i try to click on wi-fi says no hardware installed please help i need wifi and and under network staus wi-fi is fail and under network airport is not connected can anybody help the wifi icon has a x and does

    my macbook pro 15inch running on maverick when i try to click on wi-fi says no hardware installed please help i need wifi and and under network staus wi-fi is fail and under network airport is not connected can anybody help the wifi icon has a x and does not even let me turn it on

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

  • Time machine won't back up after Maverick install

    Installed Maverick today on macbook pro, then have been unable to back up to Time Machine to my Western Digital 3TB drive.  Last back up was successful just before install earlier today. 
    Time Machine Error "Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only.
    and a second message
    Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “My Book”. Files can’t be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be read-only. You may need to repair or reformat the disk using Disk Utility. If the disk can’t be repaired, you must use a different disk for backups. Open Time Machine preferences to select a different backup disk.
    First restarting after Maverick install I received an error message that the disk "my book" could not be repaired.
    When I go to get info on the external drive, under sharing and permissions it sayes I can read only, and I cant figure out how to change this everything to try is grey'd out.
    Any help in fixing the problem and understanding the issue.

    I'm also having this issue. I havn't had it before.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT3669 Do you have driver for  Samsung ML 1210 printer  for mavericks? Please help!

    Do you have driver for  Samsung ML 1210 printer  for mavericks? Please help!

    I don't believe that Samsung ever made a driver for this model that worked in intel. Unfortunately, I think your printer is just too old. You can read here
    http://technicalfault.net/2011/08/22/installing-the-samsung-ml-1210-printer-on-m ac-os-x-lion/
    or else contact Samsung and ask them.

  • Lost document files after Mavericks install

    After Mavericks install from App Store, document folders located in Dock are replaced with question mark icon; unable to locate files in Trash, iCloud, or Finder.
    While I appreciate feedback on backups, never have had issues losing files before when installing apps from App Store.  Please advise.

    I have the same problem. It just accured today, and i updated to Mavericks several weeks ago. I cant open several folders in Finder but when i right click on them it say that they contain eg. 5 Gbit... But i still cant see/open anything in some folders.
    Also yesterday (right before i realised the Finder problem) my computer was slow and acting weird so I tried restaring it, and after it sayed that my start-up-drive (or somting like that) was nearly full. It wouldnt start propoly after that, but then after a few goes I got it to work... I have no clue whats going on really..

  • Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

    Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

    Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
    Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.
