Upgrade to Yosemite Slowed down computer substantially

Hi All,
I recently upgraded my MBP (mid-2009) to Yosemite.    I noticed that people have been using EtreCheck to determine what is the root cause of these Yosemite upgrade slowdowns.   My issue is that I am having difficulty interpreting the output file.   Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.
Here is the file:

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

    Yes, i do not suggest upgrading right now. There is some software malfunction or glitch that spontaneously shuts down this specific model. I upgraded and it was a pain to downgrade and make my mac usable again.

  • Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch, 4gigs of ram, Intel C2D perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), will update to Yosemite, slow down my iMac?

    Hello, I have iMAC 7,1, 20 inch,
    4gigs of ram,
    Intel C2D
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    HDD 320gig's
    iMAC is perfectly runing OS Mavericks (10.9.5), with no lag, and no sluggish working, Multitasking is AWESOME (i have PC, with 8gigs of RAM, GeForce GTX570, etc etc), but i must say this MAC is running way better   a way way, faster and I am Loving it!!! I am using it for making music, and video editing, i am Using Final Cut Pro x, Ableton 9, Logic Pro x, and bunch of other apps and it is working perfectly, and i am so shocked how machine old like this can do that stuff better than any PC i had, and not to mention that I use more time on iMAC than on PC, i use Windows PC just for occasional gaming, but that is like 10% of time, so i use my MAC in 90% of time.
    So, enough of my iMAC. I am wondering if I update it to Yosemite, will my iMac slow down, and not continue to work like on Mavericks? Will it become sluggish and unresponsive? Will it affect reliability and stability which  have on Mavericks? And will update delete my personal data (tons of Logic, Ableton and Garage band projects, and tons of Final Cut Pro projects), Applications (because I have some apps which is hard to find these days)...
    I know bunch of you guys would tell me to backup my data, but i don't have External hard drive (they are pretty expensive in my Country), I have some friend who could borrow me External HDD, but they have their data on it, and they mostly use windows.. I did not use Time Machine yet, but i think probably it would format HDD on Macs partitions, so, i will do it on my own guys (don't judge me about that guys please)..
    So if someone could answer me that, i will really appreciate that.
    Thank you, and best Regards!!

    I recommend you upgrade your RAM to at least 8 GB for good performance with the apps you're using. Also keep a minimum of 25-30 GB of free space on your boot drive for optimal system and application performance.
    The maximum RAM a 7.1 iMac can address is 6GB, the OP can keep one of the 2GB DIMMs and then add a matching 4GB DIMM. If  the OP decides to do this, please only purchase from Crucial or OWC at www.MacSales.com.
    However as described on a 8 year old iMac, I'd stay with Mavericks and then when considering upgrading upgrade to a more up-to-date Mac.

  • Yosemite slowing down macbook air performance

    Ever since upgrading to yosemite, my 2011 macbook air 11' has been very noticeably sluggish compared to how it was with mavericks. At first i thought it might be from some conflicts from the previous OS, so I did a completely fresh install with yosemite, but it's still dragging and sluggish, especially with any kind of graphics intensive process. I know the air isn't supposed to be a marvel at graphics performance, but I never had these performance issues with mavericks.
    Is yosemite just too resource heavy for my macbook air? I wonder if I'd just be better off going back to mavericks. However, if there's some kind of settings I need to adjust, I'd be happy to experiment. I've already tried the 'reduce transparency' trick, but it didn't do much (not that I noticed anyways).

    Gatekeeper is described here: OS X: About Gatekeeper  - Apple Support. It is only one defense to protect you from inadvertently installing malware, and an effective defense does not rely upon only one method.
    ... I can use software that isn't officially "identified" by apple, even though it is trusted.
    Apple's philosophy is such that a Mac user with Admin privileges always has control over what he or she installs. As I wrote Gatekeeper will serve to protect you against inadvertently installing malware, including the adware that is affecting your Mac. Adware does not get installed on its own - it requires your explicit permission, which you provided by supplying your Admin name and password. When that dialog appears, it should be expected, not a surprise, and its implications should be clearly understood. By providing your credentials OS X concludes you know what you're doing and the reason you're doing it. Determining the "trusted" aspect of software thereby falls to you.
    In your case, by choosing the "anywhere" option you effectively circumvented this basic OS X security feature.
    The problem with adware is that it relies upon deception to convince you that it's legitimate software offered for some beneficial purpose, when in fact all it will do is interfere with your normal activity and possibly crash your Mac.
    Is there anything I can do to possibly identify which apps may be slowing my system down?
    Yes, although you installed quite a number of them. For troubleshooting, read below the line that follows the end of this post.
    An EtreCheck report generated on a Mac as it ships from Apple will show no entries under Kernel Extensions, Launch Agents, User Launch Agents, Safari Extensions, 3rd Party Preference Panes, etc. Everything that appears under those headings is there because you installed them. As I wrote it's a user's responsibility to understand the specific benefits they are intended to convey, the effects they will have, and the means of uninstalling them should they result in unacceptable performance - which was your original complaint.
    It's also possible that the slowdowns are not caused by software, but given the extent to which your system has been modified, hardware failure is less likely than incompatible or poorly implemented software.
    ... anything that isn't officially "identified" by apple is adware?
    Although OS X incorporates specific prohibitions against installing common malware, they can hardly attempt to classify specific user-installed modifications as adware. The only certain way to do that would be to prevent user-installed system modifications altogether, in the same manner as they do with iOS (iPads and iPhones).
    Adware's appearance changes approximately every day. Their pathetic developers are desperate to change its appearance in an effort to continue their deceptive tactics, and a simple change of a file name precludes a reliable automated means of intercepting it. That's the reason it's incumbent upon Mac users to educate themselves about its appearance so that they are not so easily gulled into installing some junk. Gatekeeper merely helps you understand that's what you'd be doing.
    Back up your Mac if  you have not already done so. To learn how to to that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
    If your Mac is momentarily unresponsive, consider the following.
    Launch the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder. You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu. Select Show Toolbar if it is not already shown.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
    To do that click the Clear Display button in the Toolbar. All previously displayed log entries will be disappear.
    Next: Perform whatever actions cause the Mac to exhibit the slow behavior. If the problem is caused by errors logged by the system, the Console window will show them being recorded in system.log.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than a few log entries.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

  • Macbook Pro (mid 2012 - non retina) Yosemite Slowing down

    I saw in some other posts that people were helped and slow downs were solved when fellows looked at EtreCheck reports. So i have copied my report. Kindly advice what is causing the slow down and how to fix it.

    I wanna ask is java programming is slow down system when I compile and run the application that made u're application that I've made respond slowly?? How to avoid this??
    Thanks for u're help.

    Hi all,
    I was a newbie in java programming. I wanna make
    application with java, but some of my friend told me
    that java application can make u're system run slow
    cause u have to import all the classes that u need
    for u're application.
    I wanna ask is java programming is slow down system
    when I compile and run the application that made u're
    application that I've made respond slowly?? How to
    avoid this??when you do something on your computer resources will be used. if you don't want to use computer resources turn the computer off.
    if you don't want to program in java dont, noone is forcing you. when java runs it will load up a vm and a library for it. that's the way it is. it may take a little longer then the equiv native app, but that's because the native app's vm and so on is ALREADY loaded (it's the OS).
    in summary: deal with it. it's not that bad. there are some very good examples of java desktop apps that work well; azereus being one, i'm sure there are others.

  • Updates from HP agent ... always runs at start up and slows down computer

    HP Pavilion a1222n, Win XP Home
    When we first turn on the computer it is slowed down by "Updates from HP agent running"  checked through the task manager.
    I would like to disable the automatic running of this and run it when I want to run HP Updates.  I read in another post to go to the Start > All programs> setting > select never which would allow you to chose when to run the HP update agent.  I can not seem to find it on this machine, the post I read was for another model.
    Thanks

    Hi Ron,
    Try the following.
    Hold down the Windows key and press R.  Into the Run box, type msconfig and hit enter.  In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and remove the tick next to the HP Update agent.  Click Apply and Ok to save the change and then restart the PC for this change to take effect.

  • Acrord32 slows down computer, graps cpu time.

    Acrord32 slows computer, grabs cpu time.
    Win XP Pro SP3, Acrobat 11.0.01.36.
    (If this is not the correct forum, kindly direct me to where it should be re-posted.)
    Every time the cursor floats over a .pdf file in any file manager, acrord32 slows down the computer, hangs the cursor, takes cpu time and makes scrolling jerky. The more .pdf’s in a list, the more jerky as acrord32 opens and closes, again and again. The cursor is not pausing over a .pdf file, no .pdf is being selected, Acrobat is not running. How can this be stopped? I DO NOT have Reader installed.
    Acrotray and Acrord32 are NOT loaded in msconfig. They do not appear in task manager UNTIL the cursor floats over a .pdf. After a second or two, acrord32 disappears out of task manager. However, it is obviously lurking because it comes back next time the mouse encounters a .pdf.
    Questions:
    1) how to stop this behavior?
    2) how do these exe/dll’s get loaded when they are not marked to start?
    3) where does acrord32 “lurk,” and how can it be ferreted out?
    This is very annoying.

    AcroRd32 is related to Reader, so not sure why you have it if you do not have Reader installed. If no Acrobat product is running, the only process that should be running should be AcroTray that provides the process when printing to the Adobe PDF printer and should not be disabled. Be sure you check the processes list and not the applications. AcroRd32 runs in the background processes when it is running.
    I checked on both AA9 and AA XI systems with Windows 7. Neither one had AcroRd32 running.  My guess is you have it installed, even if it does not appear to be.

  • Color Key plus RGB curves slowing down computer

    Just updated to Premiere CC 7.2.1 and when I use color Key and add RGB curves to a clip my computer shows down to an almost unsuseable level.  Slow is the new normal. 

    Hello,
    I'm sorry your experiencing this problem. Same question as Jim. Are you on Mac?
    We are aware of the performance issues that were introduced in version 7.2 with certain AMD GPU cards.
    We're investigating the problem now.
    I know this is not ideal but in the mean time here's a few workarounds:
    - Revert back to 7.1
    - Disable GPU acceleration when using those effects
    Here's a list of effects that seem most problematic:
    *Fast Color Corrector
    *RGB Curves
    *ProcAmp

  • Smart objects slowing down computer

    Hi - I'm making animations in PS6 extended using timeline.
    Some of the files are a bit hefty - 5 or 6 smart object files deep -  and are making the computer go really slow [I have 8GB RAM and 1067Mhz].
    I wondered if it might be caused by too many bits of info going backwards and forwards in the engine room ... and a defrag is necessary....??
    I understand that the Mac only defrags files up to 10MB ... so these 60+MB files will be left out.
    It starts to seize up after I've been working on a files ... going down into the deeper and deeper smart objects [eg a body with smart object arms going to smart hands going to smart fingers, etc]
    Do you think I need to get a defrag program for this or would there be a cache somewhere which I can empty when the going gets rough, perhaps?
    I don't have much else running at the time, by the way.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    mdimport is caused by Spotlight indexing. Do you have any external hard drive connected to your computer? If so, Spotlight is probably indexing it. If you don't want to look up files in your external hard drive using Spotlight, you can go to System Preferences->Spotlight and in the Privacy tab add the external drive. Or, you can wait until Spotlight indexes all the files, cpu usage by mdimport will eventually reduce.

  • What's wrong with 10.4.7 upgrade?  (Serious Slow-down)

    Attempting to install iLife, was forced to upgrade the OS.
    (A new iMac G5)
    Ran "Updater" with the 150 mb upgrade.
    Now the iMac runs slow as molasses... MUCH slower
    than before the upgrade.
    I've fixed and verified the permissions twice.
    How can I speed things up?

    Hi FNS,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    What did you do exactly? What was your previous system version and how did you update (software update? standalone installer? incremental update? Combo update?).

  • PS Elements 6 & 8 Slow Down Computer When Not In Use

    I currently use PS Elements 8 on a MacBook Pro using 10.6.2 version of the operating system.
    When I haven't been using Elements for perhaps 24 hours, I suddenly will notice that Elements is using an amazing amount of CPU cycles - say from 60% to 80%.  I use MenuMeters, which shows me that something suddenly is using a lot of CPU cycles.  I then switch to the Activity Monitor to see which application is doing this.  It always is Elements.
    I've waited to see if the problem will go away, but it usually doesn't.  The only solution I've come up with is to Quit the application, and relaunch it.
    What puzzles me is that I will not have been using Elements for a long time - say 24+ hours.  Then, suddenly, the problem occurs.  Because this bogs down the computer - and instantly shows up on MenuMeters.  So this isn't happening in the background, and I don't notice it.  It happens out of the blue.  Because this activity bogs down the computer, I notice it almost instantly.
    It's puzzling because applications usually don't wake themselves up and start working vigorously - especially when there are no pictures open.
    This happened when I had Elements 6, and continues with Elements 8.  I've been using Elements since I bought version 3 in December 2004.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

    I've just launched PS Elements more than ten times while holding down on these keys.  Elements launches, but absolutely nothing else happens. 
    At first, I thought that perhaps this keystroke combination might only work on a Windows computer.  But with your information in hand, I went into the Elements help file, and found that this is indeed the keystroke combination to use on a Mac.  However, this keystroke combination definitely does nothing on my computer.
    If you tell me what this preference file is called, or where it is stored on a Mac, I'll delete it manually.

  • After ERP Upgrade online backup slow down

    Hello,
    We have upgrade the system from 4.6c to ECC6.0 , after the upgrade backup is running slow on production. it could be because of Resource requirements for ECC. I would like to know how resource Consummation increase from 4.6c to ECC.
    ECC 6.0
    Solaris 5.10
    Thanks

    > I would like to know how resource Consummation increase from 4.6c to ECC.
    Very difficult to impossible to state generally. 4.6c is an ABAP only kernel whereas the Netwaever 7.0 kernel has interfaces to HTTP and SMTP as well as a full internet transaction server integrated. As a rule of thumb one could say you'd need the double the CPU power (in sense of single CPU speed, not number of CPUs) to run at the same speed as your old 4.6c.
