Since the update to Yosemite the MacBook has slowed down appreciably. Safari for example takes upwards of 30 seconds to load. How can I speed things up?

Hi ..
Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space go?
Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click:  Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.
Anti virus software, as well as third party Mac cleaning utilities such as MacKeeper  and CleanMyMac can also slow your Mac down.
For Safari.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test. if that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • The update on 05/02/2010 has slowed my browser a LOT

    The update on 05/02/2010 has slowed my browser a LOT
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after the 05/02/2010 update

    Hi - there are several issues that can cause Firefox to seem "slow". Go through this short list of possibilities, and get back with me:
    * Frequent "Problem loading page" issues are likely caused by a firewall. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]] for instructions on how to check firewalls. Antivirus toolbars are another possibility to check; see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * Slow when loading Flash/Java: These issues are usually caused by add-ons or by outdated plugins. First, upgrade all outdated plugins by checking [http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/]. If it's still slow, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * Slow to start up: This is most often caused by an extension delaying Firefox's startup. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].

  • HT204017 After updating to Yosemite my Macbook is slow

    After updating to Yosemite my Macbook is slow, especially iTunes

    Hi, I have also found that iTunes is really slow as well after the update. Syncing my iPhone 6 by wire can take up to 3 hours. : automatically sync when this phone is connected" is greyed out ( won't allow a tick in the box) Wifi seems to stall at 3 of 7. I'm getting quite attached to the pinwheel

  • Ever since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to load apps

    Since I updated to Maverick my MacBook is slow to boot up after being shut down and is slow to load apps (excessive bounce, etc.). Is there a solution?

    Your model is right at the cutoff of models that can handle Mavericks, so you need to keep that in mind: an older machine and less powerful processor. Aside from that, you should really have a minimum of 4 GB of RAM for Mavericks to run reasonably well - how much RAM do you have? The 2 GB minimum published does not work that well unless you only use one app at a time.
    So, if you've maxed out the RAM, make sure you don't run too many apps at the same time, especially if dealing with photo editing or movie apps and quit one before starting another. Also make sure you have plenty of empty hard drive space at all times.

  • I downloaded the Apple update yesterday and my computer has slowed down plus I can't move emails to my different mailboxes.

    Why has my computer slowed down?  I downloaded the update yesterday and since then the color wheel keeps circling and I can't download or move emails to my different mailboxes.  There is no consistent patern in which emails can be transferred.  There is a consistent patern with the color wheel coming on while I am typing and stoping the recording of the keys.

  • The only account on my macbook is a standard account. I need to somehow get an administrator account. How can I do that, and if I do, will I lose all my data?

    I got my macbook from my dad a while back, and I tried to make me the administrator. But in doing so, I somehow activated a root user, and now my account (which is also the only account now) is a standard one, so I can not download apps, etc. How can I fix this without losing my files?

    Option 1
    If you've enabled root logins, log in as root and promote the other user to an admin.
    Option 2
    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) and restore your system from the last Time Machine snapshot taken before the damage was done, if you know when that was. Afterwards you can restore any data that has changed since then from a later snapshot. If you’re an advanced user familiar with the shell, there may be a quicker fix, but I prefer not to get into that.
    Option 3
    Back up all data, then boot in single-user mode (command-S at startup.) When the text stops scrolling, follow the prompts to make the boot volume writable. Then enter the following command:
    ls /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    You should get the following line of output below what you entered:
    /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    If you do, then very carefully enter the following command:
    rm !$
    Now you should get the following output:
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    Then enter
    reboot
    The system will boot into the Setup Assistant, as if you were setting it up for the first time. Skip the prompt to transfer information. Create a user with the same name as the old admin user. Log in and test. You may need to recreate your other user accounts, if any. The files won't be deleted.

  • When I load a Flash based game site for my kids, the reload symbol spins continuously. The site slows down all browsing because of this. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? It has only started recently, in FF3.6 and in 4.

    The site in question is webkinz.com, and once you log on to the game. I have tried Adblocker, and swept for sypware. I have reinstalled Flash, downgraded Flash, back to current version now. Tried in FF 3.6 and 4.
    this is now happening on both PC's (Win 7 and XP) and the Laptop (Win 7).

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • Since I updated to Yosemite, keyboard shortcuts don't work in Safari

    I use Yosemite 10.0.2 and Safari shortcuts are unresponsive. What to do?

    Howdy peze,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with keyboard shortcuts in one specific app, Safari, since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. Take a look at the article linked below which describes a similar issue and walks you through the process of identifying conflicting keyboard shortcuts.

  • I do not have any device associated with my Apple ID (any more), but would like to associate my iPhone and my iPad. In the Account Information of my Apple ID, there is no menu for Manage Devices (as there are none connected). How can I associate them?

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks for answering. Sorry for my ignorance and basic knowledge, Chris CA, but
    1. I do not want to buy iTunes Match.
    2. I thought associating is e. g. necessary when you would like to be able to localise your device via iTunes on your PC.
    3. I suppose that the association has something to do with your rights on which devices and PC you can play your downloaded items.
    Any clarification is welcome.

  • I downloaded the newest version of Firefox while I was trying to access Yahoo! and now it is horribly, horribly slow. My Internet access is by dial-up. How can I speed things up or how can I get back my prevous version? What number was it?

    I presume that the reason why it takes so much time for Firefox to load and then for me to get responses is because my Internet access if by dial-up. I need a less rich, or complicated, version of Firefox. The previous version was okay in terms of speed. What can I do to speed up the processing. Is it because I downloaded the version from the Yahoo website?

    Try using this extension. <br />

    Since I updated my IPad software to iOS 5.0.1 from 5.0, I cannot access some web sites. How can I go back?

    Sorry, you cannot downgrade iOS software.
    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Trying to update an app from appstore (updates list),but requests a pass for an apple id that is not mine! how can it be?

    Trying to update an app from appstore list,but requests a pass for an apple id that is not mine! how can it be?

    The app must have been downloaded by somebody else that used their Apple ID on your iPad, since purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Unless your iPad is glued to your side 24 hours a day and nobody has ever used the iPad but you, then anybody that has ever used your iPad could have done it.

  • How can I speed up my Macbook Pro 13" ?

    I have a 2009 (or 2010 I can't remember).  Anyway it's getting slower.  I went into activity monitor and saw it is using 1.81g of the 2GB memory it has.  Basically just everything acts slow.  The internet randomly slows down.  Specific games slow down ridiculously.  For example minecraft, I'm sure most of you are familiar with it.  When I run it my computer slows down to the point where I can barely do anything besides the game, and even that is pretty slow and slightly laggy.  What can I do to speed it up?  Can I have the hardware updated?  Should I take it into the apple store and ask them if they can increase the RAM memory?

    If you've a mid-2009 or a mid-2010, you can upgrade to 8 GB of RAM. That ought to speed things up considerably. You can buy RAM from a company such as OWC or Crucial - as a matter of fact go to www.crucial.com and click on the System Scanner tab. It will profile your computer and let you know how much RAM it can handle and the type of RAM that you need.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
