Very slow computer

I have a MacBookPro since june06; it came with only 512MB and still has 512. My problem is: I've had all kind of computers since early 90's but I think I've never had a computer so slow. It takes time for everything: opening simple applications like text edit, I Tunes or any other, opening or closing windows, saving documents... And if working with "heavy" applications like word or photoshop, it becomes terrible. I can't believe it: the old, old iMac of a frend is much faster... Part of the problem might be lack of memory but not with very simple tasks. So? The same happends with my MacMini dual Intell 2GB. Anybody else to report this problem?

I had a MBP with Core Duo with 512MB. It was pretty snappy. I would suggest that you do a clean reinstall. I think that should fix the problem. If it still persists you should contact apple. Memory is not the problem here. 512MB is pretty sufficient for nominal use.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • JERRY HELP laptop keeps dropping wifi signal, very slow computer

    I have read some blogs here where Jerry Lippey?  has helped. PLEASE HELP!!   My c655d-s5200 satellite laptop constantly drops the wifi connection.  just in the registration for this site alone i had to reconnect about 10 times.  computer is only about 1 year old.  computer has always been very slow, even from day 1.  taking sometimes a full minute or two to change pages.  I never complained about it when it was under warranty.  I just lived with it.   and now that it just out of warranty,  I have changed from mediacom cable to us cellular wifi, I am finding out that I have more problems than I thought.  I have a good 4G singal and I am almost 100% sure it is not a problem with the hotspot.   it seems my computer takes way to long thinking. even from day 1 sometimes it will not print a letter that I know I typed.  It has most of the same problems as the person on a ship overseas did in another blog.  If you havnt figured out yet I am NOT familiar with the computer. or tech terms.  I am one of the dumbest ones on here.  I tried to search and identify my wifi  information by typing (pc diag ) in the search bar and no results came up. As I was going to try and redownload the driver.  I still have the windows 7 that was originally loaded.  I also have NO dates set to restore to.  can someone please help me out.  I am very disapointed with this toshiba computer.  PS it just took over 40 seconds to back space and delete a full sentence I decided not to say. 

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Desktop with cross bars and very slow computer

    I have a iMac OSX 10.9.2 (13C64) early 2009 that became very slow to open and to shut and to process the adobe software. Also the screen of my mac is with cross bars. Already I cleaned with mackeeper, already I defrag, I noticed with the disk utility and all is well. I have over 400 GB available.
    Please help

    Sounds like your display or GPU is failing? Back up any data you deem important and book an appointment at your nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorised Repair Centre asap. I would also get rid of mackeeper (and anything else that purports to do the same) plus whatever you've used to 'defrag' your mac. They ar no use to you at all and in reality most 'helper' applications just create problems as well as slowing your mac down.
    Now what question do you have regarding OS X Lion Server?

    Hello, thank you for looking at my question.
    First off, I am NOT very tech-savvy, but I'm willing to research and learn, I'm just afraid to make a mistake and blow up my computer.
    I have had my Macbook for 2 years. I have not backed up my hard drive during that time. Bad, I know.
    Recently I've noticed my Mac getting slow with the "spinning beach ball" showing up more often and everything getting slower. Usually a reboot will help. Yesterday, for the first time, the reboot took about 8-10 minutes! I figured that wasn't a good sign, so I headed down and picked up an external hard drive (Western Digital Essential model, 1TB) and figured I'd back everything up. I formatted the drive according to the Mac partition model (tech support from WD helped over the phone) and got it going. From 1530 to 0800 this morning, of 52 GB it had only backed up 15.3 GB. The fan was running at high speed the entire afternoon and night. That's about one GB per hour. Is that normal?? Then, it froze and wouldn't respond, or back up at all. Just nothing. I held the power button down and restarted it.
    At this point, I am concerned that perhaps the hard drive is failing (hence the speed and fan issues) and that maybe I should be taking it in to a repair shop (we don't live anywhere near an Apple store)
    Do you think this may be the case? Is there any way to back up my hard drive faster - before it dies? I have two years worth of photos and papers, etc on there, music and such and it would be a tremendous loss if it all crashed.

    Good! Better to inquire than leap!

    Yup.

    No, not normal at all.

    As slow as that backup was, anything else will be nearly as bad.
    There are four common causes of this:
    Your startup drive is nearly full (less than a couple of GBs of free space). If that's the case, find something big you can "archive" to CD/DVD or copy to the external HD and delete.
    The drive is failing.
    Corrupted directores, etc., in the file system
    One or more "runaway" processes, usually from incompletely-installed or partially-deleted apps
    |
    It's a toss-up; try to diagnose what's wrong, or try to get a backup.
    The fastest way to back up, with the least "thrashing" of your hard drive, would be to start up from your Leopard Install disc and use the Restore tab to make a copy of your internal HD on the external.
    That will copy any file system problems "as is," but if your internal HD is beginning to fail, at least you'll have a full copy of the data (corrupted or not) on the external HD.
    Check this to be sure your WD drive will boot your Mac: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787 If not, do all the steps below except #4.
    Here's what I'd recommend:
    1. Start up from your Install disc, per the yellow box in #1 of [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]
    2. Reformat the external HD, with a single partition, per the blue box there. You'll want the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ Format and either the GUID or +Apple Partition Map+ *Partition Map Scheme* as detailed there.
    3. Use the Restore tab to copy your internal HD (almost certainly named +Macintosh HD)+ to the external HD, per #7 in the link above. Note that will copy the name of the internal HD to the external.
    4. When that's done, quit Disk Utility, then select +Startup Disk+ from the Utilities menu in the menubar (per the yellow box above). Select the external HD and start up from it.
    |
    The copy may take a very long time. There will be a progress bar, but they're notoriously inaccurate under the best of circumstances. If it completes, and you can start up from the external, post back and we'll see if we can find the problem, and either fix it or confirm that you need to take it to Apple.

  • HT1338 Can anybody help with a very slow computer?

    My MacBook Pro is running VERY slowly. I use primarily Word and have built up a huge number of files, like 500,000. Still  have plenty of memory, however.  Occasionally, I get the spinning color wheel when I'm on Word, the system freezes and I have to shut down.  How do I "defrag" or clean up the files?  Not sure which operating system, but it's a 2010 MacBook.

    Can you tell us how much RAM  (Memory) you have? It's listed by clicking on the  in your title  bar....go to About This Mac and it's in the 1st window.
    We would also like to know what size hard drive you have and how much free space is on it.
    If you click on your Hard drive icon (should be upper right hand corner of your screen), or the Finder in your Dock...when the window opens it says at the bottom how much Free Space you have on your drive.
    If you go to the , click on About This Mac, click on More Info... in that window. The next window says how big your hard drive is under Hardware....click on Serial-ATA.....look under Capacity:
    We need to know this cause if a hard drive is too full it slows things down and creates operational difficulties.

  • Very slow computer and getting worse

    My computer seems to be bogging down. Commands result in the beach ball of doom more and more frequently and it rolls longer. I found a 15.9 var file in "private" which seems out of normal...maybe this is a problem? I would appreciate any advice or solution offered!

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
    Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
    The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB  RAM installed.  The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it. 
    Ciao.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, 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 and start typing the name.
    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.
    When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • My computer is running very slow, how can I tell if it is a internet connection problem or my computer?

    I have a mac 10.5.8 and it has been very slow lately. I often get the rainbow wheel when using it and recently I have had to restart the computer alot because it seems to freeze. The only other open program besides Safari is the finder which i cant seems to ever shut off. I'm not sure if this is an interent connection problem or if my mac needs servicing.

    Please begin using 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac  you will almost certainly find the cause there. The first place I'd look though is how much RAM your system has, if you never upgraded it that could be the problem. Macs ship with a minimum amount of RAM so it's possible a simple RAM upgrade would help. Use the article though and methodically go through the suggestions.

  • Photoshop is running very slow in a very high power computer

    Hello to all the community.
    Recently I buyed a new PC and I have all the CC adobe softwares.
    Here are the specs of my PC:
    - W7 64 bits
    - Seasonic M12II EVO-750W 80Plus Bronze
    - Samsung 850 PRO Series 256 GB 2.5" SATA 3
    - ASROCK X99 Extreme6
    - Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz CPU
    - RAM: G.Skill 32 GB DDR4-2133 (F4-2133C15Q-32GRK, Ripjaws 4 Black)
    - NVIDIA Quadro® K620 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile Bulk
    - GIGABYTE GeForce GTX970 G1 GAMING OC-4GB
    - CORSAIR Hydro Series H105
    As you can see, I have 2 graphics, the 970 for gaming and common use and the Quadro for work uses.
    Thing is, softwares like After Effects and Premiere works fine, but Illustrator, Indesign and specially Photoshop works very slow, in the Ps case, so slow even with small files...
    I don't know why happen this if I have a very nice computer. Maybe one of you know the solution or what happens? I tried to find the solution looking in internet, but I didn't find it yet.
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you Chris Cox for your answer and your time.
    I changed all the softwares to another SSD drive, not in the SSD local drive (the C) and they run now very good and fluently. Maybe this was the problem...
    The C drive is a Samsung 850 PRO Series 256 GB 2.5" SATA 3 and I changed to OCZ SSD Vertex 4 128Gb.

  • My computer has been getting the pin wheel and moving very slow since the i downloaded yosemite

    Whenever i have a video playing from my internet browser it causes my computer to pin wheel and go into thinking mode with all of my apps that are open. It moves very slow and i have to force quit everything and reboot my computer to make it act normal. this all started after the software update. Any suggestions>

    Mine has been moving extremely slow, too.  I had a problem downloading and installing Yosemite and after many conversations with Apple Care, the solution was to remove the 3rd party RAM I had just installed prior to the upgrade.  That solved the download/install problem, but now it's slow as anything.  I opened my activity monitor and sure enough, the memory pressure is at full load so I have to install more memory.  The trick is to make sure it's truly compatible.
    Have you checked your activity monitor's memory report?
