  • Macbook Pro is running slow after mavericks upgrade

    Hello everyone,
    I recently downloaded the last update of Mavericks on my Macbook pro (13 inch, mid 2012).
    Since the upgrade, my mac has been incredibly slow... I have tried different things including: completely re downloading and installing mavericks, running the apple hardware test (both short and long tests), I have tried to fix it through resetting the macbook to factory settings. None of my attempts were successful.
    The Hardware:
    Mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
    Running OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
    2,5 GHz intel Core I5
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    The Problem:
    I updated Mavericks to its last version (10.9.4) and all of a sudden my macbook became super slow. It had no problem before, even under Mavericks, so my guess was it is a problem linked to this last version...
    What I've Done Thus Far:
    - Apple Hardware Tests (both long and short): All passed
    - Reinstalled Mavericks
    - Restoring to factory settings
    Any suggestions on what do to?
    Thank you!
    Nathan.
    ps: I ran EtreCheck, here are the stats.

  • How do I fix aLaCie Backup Drive that runs constantly after Maverick upgrade

    LaCie backup drive for time machine runs constaantly after Maverick upgrade.  This is using resources and slows the processor

    After installing Mavericks on my one year old iMac (loaded) Time Machine failed (Pegasus Promise Thunderbolt 3TB).  I tried unmounting it, didn't work.  Rebooted: Time Machine failed again [Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “Time Machine”. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.] was the only message. Had to reboot to get Pegusus accessible again.  Tried re-intalling Maverick (old Microsoft thing... reintall the OS).  Didin't do anything for Time Machine, same failure.  Booted into safe mode: nothing, same probelm.  Repaired permissions: no joy there either.  So, now have no Time Machine backups at all. And Time Machine won't work with the Pegasus. [same error message after 30 min or so every time].  ordinary file saves work fine though.
    Ideas please?

  • MBP slow after Mavericks upgrade?

    Ever since installing Mavericks (or maybe it's unrelated, who knows) my MBP just seems sluggish. My impression is that the sluggishness is related to disk IO. I've thought about upgrading to an SSD since I know that would help, but I think it would jsut be masking whatever the underlying issue is here (barring hardware failure). Below is my EtreCheck output. Any ideas?

    I don't see anything that is among the usual culprits, but you do have a lot of 3rd party software installed and loaded. You might try removing some of it using the developer's uninstall instructions. You also might try running fewer programs at the same time or increasing your RAM.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    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 Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X 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.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • N8 run slow after Anna upgrade

    After Anna upgrade, the operation of my phone (N8) run slower generally.  I am not sure I can specify few, for example, openning Photos, taking picture, working with worksheet, etc.  Any solution to help pushing the speed back up?

    All I can suggest is to reset the phone ! It's a pain and involves time and effort, but you can get conflict between new and old software, and a clean install always gives better results, Anna is quick and smooth on my E7 and I'm enjiying it, but I did do a reset. Back up your Contacts , Calendar and Notes ONLY (a full backup and restore will restore any conflict !!) then dial *#7370# followed by 12345 if required, then re-install Anna using Nokia Suite beta 
    http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-beta?re​q=true
    Including Anna 1/2 & 2/2 , then set up your phone manually, you should see some great improvement 
    Good Luck
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • IMac 2008 running very slow after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded to Mavericks not long after it was released and my machine has been struggling since.  It's very slow for normal everyday computing - and I actually had to stop using certain programs, like Chrome.  Chrome would get stuck just trying to load google - and I would get stuck with a spinning beach ball for upwards of 5 minutes.  I've switched to Safari and that's helped - but when switching applications, the system still really struggles.  It makes multi-tasking very challening.
    I downloaded EtreCheck, could anyone help me out to interpret the results?  Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto is very slow after Mavericks upgrade

    I'm running a 27" mid-2011 iMac with 4 GB memory and I've recently upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I've had a chance to load iPhoto 11 (9.5) a few times now and it does so slowly each time. I have about 33k+ photos/videos and they're stored on my main hard drive. Basically, iPhoto slows to a crawl and lags when I try to scroll up/down or try to view photos. In addition, my iMac exhibits the same behavior when I try to switch between applications, run Spotlight search, or load a page within my browser. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?

    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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot 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 maybe not as slow.
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • My late 2011 Macbook Pro is running slow after Yosemite upgrade

    Hello everyone! I'm a little desperate as this is my working computer and I'm not sure what else to do. I took it to a mac technician and they did a clean intall, checked my memory cards and said there should be no problem.
    I get it home, install the basics programs I need for work- Adobe, Chrome, Firefox, iWorks. My computer is still running very slow. The start up is slow, the internet is very slow.
    Here's my EtreCheck report. I hope maybe one of you can shine some light on the issue. Thank you in advance for all the help. 
    Problem description:
    My computer is running very slow. Even the browser when switching between tabs will show a blank page for a few seconds before showing the actual page. It was rebooted and nothing. This problem started after upgrading to Yosemite.

  • Mac Mini running slow after Mavericks

    Hi All
    I have a Mac Mini which I upgraded to Mavericks and now it intermittently runs extremely slow - almost at a standstill. I have tried a number of things, such as a complete OSX re-install; I've used MacKeeper to tidy up my junk; I have installed Time Machine Scheduler to stop constant back-ups; I have tested the machine when the Iomega Time Machine drive is unconnected and my 2TB external archive drive is unattached too; I have removed Flashplayer programmes, Silver light etc etc. But nothing is helping (I have not tried uninstalling Microsoft Office, yet!).
    I is a busy working machine and I am now having to resort to using my Mac Air because things are so bad.
    Weirdly, my wife's identical Mac Mini (with Mavericks) has none of these problems.
    Here is my report from EtreCheck.... PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AS I GOING CRAZY!!!
    Thanks

    That's your first two mistakes. Get rid of MacKeeper. It is of no benefit, and is arguably detrimental.
    Secondly, Time Machine backups only backup what has changed in the last hour. They should not be "constant", but even if they are, the speed at which the backup is made is irrelevant.
    Get rid of the Kromtech thing, whatever that is, too.
    Two things to test:
    1. Does it work in Safeboot Mode? If so, then it's likely some third-party software that you normally have running.
    2. Does it work in a brand new user account? If so, then your problem is a corrupt preference or cache in your old user account, or some user-triggered process. Go back to the old account and start refining your hunt. Remove a bunch of preference files and test; empty user caches with a utility like Onyx; turn off Login Items, etc.

    You might want to consider pairing waaaay down on the User Login Items.
    Having all of these apps launching at startup/login is probably slowing down your Mac's startup time AND having all of these apps running in the background is both eating yo CPU cycles and RAM.
    Add or remove automatic items
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Select your user account, then click Login Items.
    Do one of the following:
    Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
    Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
    Google apps  like Chrome and Drive may still not be playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks.
    Until Google releases a proper fix or official update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall these Google apps.
    If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox.
    Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently and is ,usually, more stable on OS X Mavericks.

  • Mac slow after Mavericks Upgrade

    I recently upgraded my mac to Mavericks and now it is running very slow, and constantly rainbow wheeling? Is there something I can do to fix this. I just bought my Mac in August of 2013 so its basically new. It is especially bad in preview, it will freeze on screen and not let me move the document up or down, and typing is delayed. Also on Safari it was very delayed?
    Thank you,

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic  test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the suggestion of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. 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 run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
    If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the script 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, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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 your browser, 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.
    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.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    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 script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The script will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
    You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
    If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    When you post the output, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • IMac runs hot after Mavericks upgrade

    after upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks the machine (mid 2010 IMac 27 inch) runs much hotter than before. I was hoping the power management would rather be better than worse. The upper part of the enclosure get too hot to touch comfortably without excessive load e.g. just some office programs and safari running. This even now in winter time when room temps are only about 20 deg C = 70 deg F.  The fans are running higher than before.
    As no topics like this are found, a general compatibility issue could most likely be excluded.
    What should be checked?

    Do 2-3 SMC Resets, or it also may simply be re-indexing Spotlight. Check Spotlight to determine if that is the issue by hitting Command + Spacebar and see if it's reindexing.

    Everything was fine until I upgraded from 10.7 to 10.9, now runs like a dog.
    It'll work for a few seconds, and then stops for twice as long with the BBOD, then it comes to life again.
    Any ideas would be fabulous.
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably:
    Virtual Box
    Logmein (note the failed launch agent, which means it was incompatible, and that it loads a ton of background processes)
    and Perian isn't supported by the developer anymore.
    The Google keystone daemon is known for slowing down macs with excessive phoning home. See  HOWTO: Remove Google Software Update on Mac OS X - Raam Dev
    I'd uninstall those for starters.
    And I'd get rid of as many of the other background processes as you can.
    4 GB of RAM is probably not enough with all this stuff running all the time, particularly with emulation software. You can never have too much RAM.
    A quick way to test this theory is a safe boot: (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). This does some diagnostic testing and then starts up without third-party added on software.   Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

  • HT1175 Time machine backups are extremely slow after Mavericks upgrade. Why is this happening?

    How can I speed up time capsule backup in mavericks?

    I can suggest a few things to try but I am yet to see a solution.. I am not prepared to move to Mavericks until a couple of revisions fix the beta standard of some of these things. TM in particular seems to have badly suffered.
    Are you using wireless? Especially double hop wireless with the TC as the extend.. don't!!
    Use ethernet direct to the TC and turn off wireless.. see if that helps.
    Otherwise I reckon until Apple get an update use a local usb disk plugged into the computer and don't try and use TM to network drive. Or if you still want to use the network drive use something like CCC which should be fine under Mavericks since it is a much more robust software. (without lots of bells and whistles.. but functional).
