Slow macbook after update?

Its only a couple weeks old, 2 or 3 days ago i got the little "update" thing that wanted me to update something. I updated it and now the thing is running terribly slow. Well its still faster than my old pc but it takes a noticably longer to boot up, then when im surfing the web sometimes its normal then other times it takes quite a while to load the page. Then the little rainbow loading thing pops up... Its slowed down a lot since the update, how do i fix this?

Try a Safe Boot then reboot as normal. See if this helps.

Very slow Macbook after updating to Yosemite.

Two questions;
1) I updated to Yosemite a few days ago and like it. But my macbook (2013) is now running very slow. I have done all the latests software updates.
In the Activity Monitor, a process called DesktopServicesHelper (PID 1681) take up 99% of my CPU%. What is this and why? How do I fix it? Please help!
2) Also in the Activity Monitor, there is a process which is not responding, called com.apple.geod (PID 1703). What is this? What does it mean? How do I fix it?

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
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, 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Slow Macbook after updating to Yosemite 10.10.3

Please see the below report from EtreCheck in regards to this.
Thanks.
Problem description:
Macbook Pro has been running very slowly since updating to Yosemite 10.10.3 (I think thats it) to the point where it has been basically unusable.
There seems to be spikes as to when the Macbook runs most slowly.
Have re-installed OS X a number of times and even restored the Macbook to a point before updating Yosemite to 10.10.3 via TimeMachine.
Other things i have done include:
- Reducing the number of things Spotlight searches for - I have a notification thats says ‘Optimising Your Mac - Performance and Battery life will be affected until completed’ which has been there for over a week now. I had read on some forums this was to do with Spotlight re-indexing, however when checking to find a progress bar there does not appear to be one which suggest Spotlight re-indexing is not the issue.
- Removing unecessary widgets, mail and calendar accounts (Issues with Calendar Agent were showing up in Console)
- Ran EtreCheck and removed a number of .plist files that seemed be an issue. It appears from this report that one still remins for CleanMyMac2 (which I know causes issues). Tried to delete this file but it won't allow me.
There a few others but I’ve been trying so many things Ive lost track.
If someone could help it would be much appreciated.

Slow computer after update to 10.7.4.

After updating to 10.7.4., my MacBook Air (2,13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067Mhz) my became very sluggish. Logging in lasts 5 minutes, all programmes are very slow, internet is slower, even typing is something difficult. Do you have any suggestions to remedy this situation ?

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, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or 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 timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time something abnormal was happening. That time might be before or after the boot.
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. If the problem is a system crash or freeze, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down. In either case, please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning or the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
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 that archived log, and if necessary the older ones below it, for the same information.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
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. In the interest of privacy, 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 don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

AirPort very, very slow & intermittant after update

I installed the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001 from today's Software Update, and on restarting, my wireless connection became extremely slow (56k speeds at best) and very intermittant -- it'll work for a minute or so, then lag for two or three minutes with no signal. I've rebooted several times, but it hasn't helped.
Is anyone else having trouble after the update?
MacBook Pro, 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The "solution" is at http://www.macfixit.com/
Problems after updating
[In many cases, the problems listed below are incidental to the update and can be solved by some of the workarounds listed in our wireless troubleshooting tutorial -- many users have reported success with turning off wireless encryption (WEP, WPA) on their Base stations, for instance.
If you are having extreme difficulties after applying this update, the workarounds listed in our wireless tutorial have failed, and you absolutely need to restore wireless access, you can try this somewhat risky workaround:
Download the most recent version of Mac OS X for Intel (10.4.8)
(http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11796&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpd10.4.8Intel.dmg)
but do not install it.
Download and install the shareware application Pacifist
Drag the Mac OS X 10.4.8 installer package onto the Pacifist application icon.
Click the triangle next to "System" to expand it
Click the triangle next to "Library" to expand it
Click the triangle next to "Extensions" to expand it
Scroll down and find the file IO80211Family.kext. Drag it to your Desktop or another location (you will have to enter your administrator password)
On your Mac OS X startup drive, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions and locate a similarly named file (IO80211Family.kext). Move it to another location for safe keeping.
Now drag the file from step 7 (the one that you retrieved from the Mac OS X 10.4.8 install package) into the /System/Library/Extensions, in effect replacing the newer file (installed by the AirPort updater) with and older copy -- you will have to enter an administrator password.
Restart your Mac
This workaround is risky because you should not generally mix and match kernel extensions after updates, you will lose some improvements (including security refinements) brought about by AirPort Extreme Updater 2007-001, and new conflicts can ensue. Still, in a bind, it can restore wireless connectivity where other workarounds fail.]

How to resolve every 5 minute logout issues from macbook after updating to Mac OS X 10.8.5?

After updating my macbook from OS X 10.8.4 to OS X 10.8.5, I have been experiencing automatic logout and quit all applications every 5 minutes specially during idle period. Although, the password requires to be activated after sleep or screen saver begins from General Tab of Security & Privacy pane is 1 hour. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a preference to log out after a certain amount of time. Check Security System Prefs. I think it is buried in there somewhere. I'm on an iPad at the moment, so can't check for it.
I don't know how it would have been activated with the update. It shouldn't have.

Mac Mini 2011 slow down after updating to Yosemite

Hi all!
After updating my Mac Mini (half 2011) from Mavericks to Yosemite, it became extremely slow and unresponsive. I have to wait a lot of time for apps to open and commands, like clicking a button, to be executed executed. File Vault, that I read is a common cause of slow down, is NOT enabled.
What should I do? In these cases, for my Windows PC, I insert the OS DVD and format: what's the equivalent operation for a Mac?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Slow editor after update

Is it my imagination, or has there been a performance hit after update 1? After heavy use, I've had to restart eclipse in order to speed things up, which seems to help for a short time, but eventually the editor slows down again, particularly on large CFC files with a mix of CF and HTML code. Sometimes I have to wait a couple seconds after each editor change before I can do anything, which is problematic when you're trying to move quickly. That's when I just restart and say F###! Everytime this happens, the little tractor track progress icon moves. Not sure what it's doing since it goes away too quick for me to click on it. Could it have something to do with syntax highlighting? I notice that the screen flickers a lot after each editor change, which is also annoying.
I can't wait until CFB becomes a stable and fast because it's DEFINITELY NOT!

I think I've resolved my performance issues by increasing the memory size of eclipse... I modified the eclipse.ini file from:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
to:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
(changed: -Xms40m to -Xms128m and -Xmx256m to -Xmx512m)
So far the performance has been acceptable. I've been using these settings for about a week or so, and so far I haven't had any serious performance issues.

Has anyone got slow browsers after updating to 10.8.4

In the last couple of days, both Safari and Firefox have shown very "jerky" performance - sometimes pages load very quickly, at other times loading stalls for a while and then restarts. With Safari, I get a spinning ball until the blockage clears itself. Running my ISP's (BTInternet) own speedtest when this stalling occurs, shows a speed near to dial-up whereas it should be near 30+Mb as I am on fibre. As soon as the stall clears, the speed reverts to normal.
CPU useage, memory, disc space etc are all normal, I have tried rebooting the modem and router, and changing from wifi to ethernet (via Powerline adapters) has no effect. This seems to have happened after updating to 10.8.4 but, given that everthing else seems to be working properly, I am reluctant to blame this, and suspect my ISP and/or its modem or router. Has anyone else noticed problems with their browsers since 10.8.4 and, if so, found a cure?

Slow charging after updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.1.1

Hi,
I just updated my iPhone 5S - 16GB to iOS 8.1.1 (from 7.1.2) few hours back and it took 90 minutes to charge 6% (It was in 74% or 75% when I plugged in and it came to 81% after 90 minutes)
I tried rebooting my Phone - No Luck
What do I do now? Is this a known issue?

I had this same problem with what's app. There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8. Update the app, or delete it and re-add it. I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

Message was edited by: LaRonde20

...and if Rick's suggestion doesn't provide any improvement to your situation, try downloading the OS 10.4.10 COMBO update for Intel and reapplying it. Reapplying the combo update has been reported to fix numerous crappy performance problems that people have posted in the iChatAV, Mail, Print&Fax, and other forums.
<soapbox flag = .TRUE.> As a general rule, I ALWAYS download the combo update, NEVER the incremental updates through system update, and have NEVER had a problem develop after applying a combo update. <soapbox flag = .FALSE.> (problems typically have only developed for me after I've installed some piece of crapware on my computer, which usually gets fixed after reapplying a COMBO update or by removing the piece of crapware and reapplying the combo update).
Don't forget to verify your boot disk before starting, and repair permissions before starting and after you're done.

Slow MacBook after installing Lion

Since installing Lion on my macbook, it has become very slow. It keeps freezing especially in safari. I usally have to force quit safari a few times a day. Also my ichat hasn't been working properly and has come up with connection errors. please can someone let me know if/how i can fix this problem

How much RAM is installed in the computer? Which MacBook model do you have?
There are things you can try. First is to reinstall Lion. The second is performing some maintenance. They are not mutually exclusive meaning you may need to do both of the procedures.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Yoga Tab 2 8 inch slow performance after update

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Yoga tablet 2 8 inch (Wifi only). By default, it was running smoothly, and the performance was overall solid, both on the launcher (Lenovo's and Google Now Launcher) and in apps.
However, after two updates (The first one was around 350MB and the second one 79MB), some aspects of the software got much slower.
For instance, when running on the stock Lenovo launcher, the transitions between the pages of apps are much slower. Even weirder, they are slower in landscape mode than in portrait mode! When running in portrait mode, the stock launcher is about as fast as it was before the updates.
The Google Now launcher, which was running fine before, is now running really slow both in portrait and landscape modes.
When it comes to apps, Gmail runs pretty smoothly while Chrome also seems to be capped at 30 fps. Opera, which I downloaded from the Play Store, seems smooth enough. YouTube is smooth when playing a video but choppy when navigating.
The settings of the tablet (display, networks...) is silky smooth as it should, while Kingston Office (provided by Lenovo) is struggling and laggy.
To sum up, some of the on board apps and the launchers seem to have taken a massive performance hit (while oddly enough some aspects of the software are smooth, like the settings), while third party apps downloaded from the store are, for the most part, unaffected, except for launchers (Granny Smith runs at 60 fps) (The performance on Nova Launcher is as poor as on Google Now Launcher)
I don't see any app running in the background (I even disabled some of them, like Security HD), and Power mangement tools are off.
The version of Android I am running on is 4.4.2, build : YOGA Tablet2-830F_S000195_150422. I also did a software reset through the settings, but the performance issue remains.
Sorry about this long description, but it looks like a software issue and any help is welcome, because other than that I really like this tablet. If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you!
Vincent

Hello Ronnie_S!
Yes I am running on the update that was released yesterday, however I noticed a performance drop on the first update I got (the 350MB one), so my performances were already hit before that latest update. So I can't tell you what effect the update released yesterday could have on your specific device.
