Startup is very slow in Yosemite.

Hi, I am running a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) and I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then, startups seem to take an eternity and among other frustrating minor issues, when it automatically goes into sleep mode, sometimes it won't wake up and I have to do a hard restart. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my EtreCheck report:

  • MS Word - very slow with Yosemite

    Microsoft Word, I have found, is very, VERY slow on Yosemite. Saving takes AGES.

    Hi - I am running Office for Mac 2008 v12.3.6 and find it is very slow to save documents. This is both a manually triggered ave or the autosaves that occur form time to time. I have ForeverSave2 v2.1.2 running but enabling this or not seems to make no difference. When a save occurs the progress bar shows the progress as fully complete but continues for about 15-30 seconds depending on the size of the document.

    1) System Preferences > Startup Disk ...
    to set your correct Stratup Disk  AND
    2) Run one pass of Disk Utility "Repair Disk" from another source such as by booting to Recovery_HD OR
    Restart in Safe Mode (which does the "Repair Disk" as it starts up).

  • Macbook Pro 2011 Very Slow for Yosemite 10.10.1

    Good night,
    My macbook is very slow when I power supply to retreat, even 100% loaded this causes problems.
    Applications are slow to open, the mouse is slow, loses performance.
    The battery was recently replaced. I've had this problem in OS mavericks and was Kernel_task problem, but now do not know what to do to stop this slow using only the battery charged.
    I'm using the Yosemite 10.10.1
    System Specification: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    4GB 1333MHz DDR3
    When I remove the charger, the system rises to 90% usage ...
    memory:
    Physical Memory: 4.00 GB

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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 test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test 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, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. 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 the browser window, 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.
    8. 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 and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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 test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
    Part 1 of 8 done at ... sec
    Part 8 of 8 done at ... sec
    The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, but they give a rough indication of progress. Wait for the final message
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Macbook Pro running VERY slow since Yosemite, why?

    Ever since I installed Yosemite my Macbook Pro 2010 has been extremely laggy and slow. It's especially noticeable with several applications running but even without, it is very slow to respond to commands.
    What's the problem and how do I fix it?
    Thanks

    Here are a few lines from the log messages, I double clicked on a music file which launches iTunes, the problem was at its worst while doing this:

    Thanks a million!

    What about this?
    Good brand and a little cheaper:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148604
    Would it be worth the $80 or should I just put it toward a used MBP?
    Thanks!

  • Macbook Pro startup is very slow

    Hello everyone,
    My macbook pro (august 2010) with Mountain Lion is starting up very slow (about 2 minutes or more) since a couple of weeks.
    When started up, the applications take also about a minute or 3 to start up. So the time it takes to get my Macbook up and running is about 5 minutes, which is considerably more than when I first bought it. Okay, I get that with the Mountain Lion upgrade it'll start up slower than usual, but this can't be right.
    A few screenshots:
    On top of that: My finder says I have 150,45GB available. But my disc utility says I have 57,21GB available.. So something isn't right I guess...
    I've ran Disc utility check and repair. No change. Only dropbox and growl is checked on at accounts > username.
    Also, sometimes when emptying my trashcan, it get's stuck. I have to stop it (and this takes a long while too) and empty it again. Overall it takes a very long time to empty it. It doesn't have any big files in it, and secure empty isn't selected.
    I'm baffeled.
    Can anyone help me?

    This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an attacker who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there is another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications that are downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Applications certified in this way haven't actually been tested by Apple (unless they come from the Mac App Store), but you can be sure that they haven't been modified by anyone other than the developer, and his identity is known, so he could be held responsible if he knowingly released malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe. Note, however, that there are some caveats concerning Gatekeeper:
    It doesn't apply to software that comes packaged as an installer. Treat all third-party installers with caution.
    It can be disabled or overridden by the user.
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to applications downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article. Notwithstanding the above, the most effective defense against malware attacks is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. [Some reputable websites did legitimately warn users who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.]
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Java on the network (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related) is always a potential weak spot in the security of any operating system. If a Java web plugin is not installed, don't install it unless you really need it. If it is installed, you should disable it (not JavaScript) in your web browsers. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those obsolete versions has known security flaws that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. The flaws will never be fixed. Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java can never be fully trusted, even if no vulnerabilities are publicly known at the moment.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the filesystem. Malware gets into the system by being downloaded, not by materializing from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability and poor performance.
    By modifying the system at a low level, the software itself may create vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks.

  • MPB mid-2010 very slow after Yosemite upgrade from Snow Leopard

    I updated my MPP (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard to Yosemite some weeks back. It is painfully slow since, particularly when Mail is open. I attach the etrecheck output below, but would really appreciate any help in recovering what was not-so-long-ago a very useful machine.

    Your Mac has been considerably altered from its factory configuration. Given certain modifications, some of which are described below, it is not reasonable to expect it to operate properly.
    1. Back up your Mac. Your report indicates the last backup was performed a month ago. No more backups can be created because the backup volume's capacity is insufficient.
    2. Uninstall any McAfee products. Your Mac cannot operate properly with it installed.
    One or both of these removal instructions may be applicable.
    How to install or uninstall McAfee Internet Security for Mac
    How to uninstall and reinstall McAfee Agent 4.x on Macintosh computers
    3. Your Mac has been affected by MacPaw "CleanMyMac". Uninstall it, but beware its uninstallation instructions are not completely effective. Depending on exactly what you used it to do, a complete erasure and reconfiguration may be required.
    4. Update OS X. Open the App Store and install all Apple recommended updates.
    5. If you require a VPN I recommend OS X's native VPN, not Cisco's flawed implementation of it.
    6. If you elect to use Adobe Flash Player you must keep it maintained. The version installed is outdated.
    7. If you elect to use Google's products you must accept the detrimental effects they will have on a Mac's performance.
    8. Adware is installed and will interfere with Internet browsing. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.

  • 2009 macbook running very slow with Yosemite?

    After installing Yosemite there was a big change in performance for all actions on my computer. Start up, basic actions around the desktop and all applications are going considerably slower - slower than they ever have with my computer. I've changed a few of the settings, and that has helped, but it's still ridiculously slow. I haven't downloaded any MacCleaner app or anything. Can anyone help me with this?
    Here's the results I got from EtreCheck:

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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 test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test 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, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. 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 the browser window, 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.
    8. 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.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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 test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • SQL Developer startup is very slow

    I'm finding that the first time I start SQL Developer it takes between 3 mins 30 and 4 mins to start up. This seems far too long. It's installed on a Windows 7 PC in it's own folder in Program Files. What's causing it to be so slow? - virus scanning, JVM startup? Also why are there 3 executables - sqldeveloper.exe in teh root and sqldeveloper and sqldeveoperW in teh bin folder?
    SQL Developer Version: 3.0.04
    o/s: Windows 7

    Your "Automatically Check for Updates" option may be turned on. You can look at this setting by going to Tools->Preferences->Extensions. When I unchecked the "Automatically Check for Updates" checkbox my startup times drastically decreased. Hope that helps.

  • Crystal Report XI Release 2 (Version 11.5.8.826) startup is very slow

    Hello
    I have a problem that the crystal report software startup take 1 - 2 minutes. After crystal report is loaded, all queries and report are running fast and good.
    Running XP, SP2, 3GHZ, 2GB RAM. I have different PC with the same configuration. On each PC is the startup slow. In the beginning (2 months ago) we didn't have this problem.
    I have reinstalled crystal and tried the newest SP5. Still the same problem. It takes 1 -2  minutes until crystal is loaded.
    We use Crystal Report together with Quantum from SunGard.
    Do you have a idea why the startup from Crystal is so slow? I think it must be something with Java or .Net?
    I use .Net 3.5 and Java 1.6.
    Many thanks for your help!
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas
    As I understand the issue when you click on application it take long time to start.
    Would suggest you to uncheck the option "Check for the Updates on Start" in the help menu of the home page.As it checks for the latest updates and so it takes long time.
    Do let me know if situation is diffrent then above.
    Regards
    Asha.

  • Macbook Pro: long startup time / very slow in general

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased a Macbook Pro 15” in the summer of 2010 before going to university.
    The startup time has become ridiculously slow. Even opening a web browser is stressful.
    I have now completed my studies and I am pretty sure I have uninstalled all the large software I had installed for my degree and deleted majority of my
    document/files however the startup time has not improved.
    I have been looking through threads discussing Factory resets?
    My Mac did not come with a disk (Snow Leopard originally installed). I simply turned the thing on and it was ready to go.
    If I was to reset my Mac to factory settings would I need to purchase a disk? Is there something else that I could do instead?
    The problem seemed to materialise when I upgraded to “OS X Mavericks”.
    The only software I want to keep on my Mac is Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    I have transferred all the documents I wish to keep to another computer so I do not mind losing everything currently on my Mac.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Do you know what the original disks were? Were they snow Leopard, higher than 10.6.3, they are most likely builld specific.
    I can not guarantee that it will speed it up, but if your HD was pretty full 50%+ as well as your caches, it should clear a lot of stuff off the machine that can slow it down. It will probably take a couple hours to go thru this, give or take.
    How much of your HD is used, I keep mine at about 20% to help keep it faster, (less stuff to search)
    If it is just the speed you are concerned with I will send you some links in regards to that. I answered that you wanted to go back to "New machine" settings, hence my reply.

    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    http://www.reedcorner.net/mpg/
    Maybe something here will offer help. The reason for repairing the disk and permissions, etc... is that smetimes the disk gets errors, which the mackine hen has to work around, if it can. Hvaeing your disk much past 50% will slow it down, having caches that have not been emptied and are full of junk can slow it down. Try going to  Safari menu clicking reset Safari, empty cache, also go to Safari Preferences/Privacy tab click "remove all website data.
    This would be a start. read thru the links, or do a tottal wipe and install.
    I hope this has helped you in some way.

  • Numbers running very slow on Yosemite, new 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 Fusion Drive

    When I initially start working in Numbers, it runs very smoothly, but after a minute or two, it drags like crazy.  Even just to highlight a cell takes 5 seconds or more.  It's really terrible.  I've done permissions and disk repair.  Any advice as to why this is happening and how to correct it?  I have a nearly brand-new Mac desktop, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 drive...almost a terrabyte of free space.

    I did just update the Numbers software...still have the problem.  However, I noticed that when I "Save" the work, it goes back to running quickly.  This lasts about 2 minutes, then slow city again.

  • IMovie 8 startup is very slow

    I have imovie on a 2.8 Ghz imac with 2GB of RAM and it take 5 minutes to load. Any suggestion on speeding up start up time or is this a fact of life until Apple makes performance improvements?

    Welcome to the  Discussion forums.
    I have an MBP which takes but a few seconds to start up im08, I use it for experimentation and tend to work on my MP which also starts up in a similar time. Whilst I don't have much content on my MBP I do on my MP so I have to assume your start up time indicates a problem. Do you have a large iphoto library by any chance.
