Why is my iMac so slow after upgrade to ML?

Hi,
after upgrade of my iMac to Mountain Lion the performance ist very bad. I need minutes to open mails or change websites or prgramms?
Any idea to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance
Chris

I have a 1TB internal HD in my iMac and a 2 TB external drive I use for Time Machine backups. So as you can imagine, indexing took a pretty long time. Plus I kept interrupting the index. After a few days however, my Mac was fine. My iMac is from mid 2010.

Why is my iMac running slow after upgrading to Mavericks

I have an iMac27 that up until I upgraded to Mavericks ran quite fast. Now applications take much longer to open. When the computer comes out of sleep mode it takes from 30 seconds to a minute to open. All I have is a very dim grey screen and the only thing I can see is the mouse cursor. I have checked Memory and disk space and nothing seems to be wrong using the activity monitor. CPU 50 - 70% idle, Memory Physical 4.GB 3.97 GB used 7.07 Virtual, Memory pressure in the green, App Memory 1.47 GB, File cache 272.2 MB, Wired memory 620.5 MB, Compressed 1.63 GB. Disk space 999.35GB capacity, 441.85 available. When I did install Mavericks it did come back with a disk error. Then it loaded fine. I ran the disk utility and it found and repaired the problem. Running it successive times since have shown no issues.
Thanks

IMac is slow after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading my iMac to OS X Mavericks I've noticed the performance has slowed down a lot. I've been copying my CD collection before the upgrade while doing other tasks such as searching for album artwork online...now it can barely handle just copying the cd.

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.

IMac very slow after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi,
Can you help me in optimising my iMac?
I've upgraded to Yosemite (what a mistake!) and now the videos on the net are endlessly charging, my track pad is not that responsive and my iMac is soo slow! Please help me.
thank you

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.

Where did my mute button go? Why is my iPad so slow after upgrade?

I loved the mute on the bottom flip up window. Now there is no mute?? Also loading Safari is so slow. Touch screen does not seem as responsive as well . All after upgrade to iOS 8.0.2

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Why is my MacBookPro unbearably slow after upgrading to Yosemite

My MacBookPro was running ok before upgrading from maverick but after upgrade I would estimate that it now takes at least twice as long to open applications like MS Excel or even web links on Chrome.
It is a 2012 MacBookPro 7.1, 13"Display, 512Gb HDD, 2.4Ghz Processor, 4Gb RAM
I have not done much to it to speed it up over the last 4 years, but would appreciate any advice. Would it be necessary to wipe the HDD and start fresh.
Thanks a lot for any feedback.
Scott

Ok, thanks so much for helping. Here are the results. It took about 15min to run.

Why is my iMac much slower after installing Mavericks. Windows open slowly and Apps load slowly.

Everything seems to be taking much longer. I have a late-2012 iMac with 32 GB of RAM that was blazing fast until I "upgraded" to Mavericks. Now everyithing is slow. Does it use more system resources? I would think that with that much RAM I would have plenty of headroom for the OS. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Here's my suggestion:
Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
1. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).
2. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Re-download and reinstall Mavericks.
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. Alternatively, 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/Mountain Lion/Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HT6346 New iMac very slow after upgrading to Yosemite...

I recently purchased a 21.5 inch iMac and had it specced up. I was very happy with it until last week when I upgraded it to Yosemite. It has slowed down significantly. When switching between programmes and selecting different actions, it appears to stop, then the "thinking wheel" appears, before carrying out the requested command. Sometimes as much as 10 seconds. For example: the simple act of hitting "reply" in mail, it takes as much a s10 seconds to open a reply mail. I videoed it several times. Very disappointed...
Specs
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013)
3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB
just the process of copying and pasting the specs from About this Mac, took ages. Each line "thought" about it for several seconds before allowing me to select it.

Similar problem here too (quite high spec 2011 iMac 27") ; takes longer to boot up and Safari is slower under Yosemite than Mavericks.I have just installed Firefox and had a play around with it and it is much faster than safari ~ just couldn't get the appearance the way I liked so uninstalled. This morning I was using a five year old Compaq (averagely specced) and using Chrome it was much much faster than Safari is currently. I like Apple products (and just bought a new iPod classic for spare ) have, iPad etc but these 'upgrades' are like puling teeth for me. IOS 8 was useless on iPad 2 but improved slightly yesterday with IOS 8.1. I have little interest in technology as an end in itself, ( hifi and audio is my thing) just wanting it to work. I still can't send emails since Yosemite was installed last week as 'smtp servers are offline' ~ well, no they're not as email still works on iPad, android phones and compaq using the same servers. This really irritates. I was so impressed with iPad 2 when I got it ~ it set itself up virtually and I was sold on Apple's ease of use but I don't get back the 3 hours I spent last Friday checking settings, deleting accounts, re-adding email accounts and ultimately failing to fix it.
Yesterday I went to a famous dept store here in the UK to get an iPad mini with retina display as our iPad 2 is 3 years old but I left the store without buying it; just got sidetracked by looking at Samsung and believe it or not, Surface 3 program microsoft. Enough doubt in my mind after IOS7/8 and now Yosemite.
I still think Apple's products are beautifully designed and aesthetically and ergonomically impressive, but the Yosemite experience is draining; everyone glad handing about how great it is and it patently isn't. The design changes in the mac mini (lower performance than 2012 model ) and iMac (5K screen notwithstanding, much more difficult to make internal changes)) looks like arrogance.
Sorry for the negative rant but that's almost certainly me done

Why is my ipad so slow after upgrade to 8.02

Why is my computer running slower after upgrading to Maverick?

So my computer seems to be running slower, doing anything at all after I installed the newest OS, Maverick. Anyone have an idea as to why that might be? What can I do to make it better?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I found this other discussion below. Thanks.

Unless you've added RAM since you bought the computer, you could probably increase the performance by adding RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Why is my finder so slow after upgrading?

I came from OS Snow Leopard on a fairly basic Macbook Pro 13 inch model, and upgraded to Lion. I use Finder a lot, and something I noticed immediately was how SLOW finder is now in OS Lion. Does anyone else seem to be having this problem? When I use the space-bar to preview something it can take up to 10 seconds for me to load a preview, where it used to be instantaenous in Snow Leopard. I also have problems moving around in finder, like going from Downloads to Desktop, there's a 5 second delay minimum. What could be causing this issue? Is there any solution? Or am I just stuck with a slow Lion?

Your Noodleship:
I would say your Lion Finder performance is far from typical.
A few things I would consider if this were happening to me:
* Is the system still indexing files? (Spotlight?)
* Is there some other RAM hog wallowing in your system?
* Is there some other CPU hog wallowing in your system?
The first can be answered by clicking on the spotlight symbol.
The other two can be investigated via Activity Monitor.

IMac extremely slow after upgrading to OS Lion...suggestions please..

We recently upgraded our iMac to OS Lion from Snow Leopard and it seems like everything now takes twice as long to start. Opening applications, opening documents, switching to another user name, pretty much everything takes forever. I love the operating system, but feel like I am using a 10 year old computer. If anyone here has suggestions on how to speed things up, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have tried logging out all other users to free up some of the memory and that really doesn't help.
I love my Mac, please help....

If it is a new installation, spotlight can take forever to do the first indexing. I put my Sleep option in Power preferences to "never" (On mains power that is) and leave the computer lid open / on all night.
There are also other things going on, like, software updates,(both from Apple and third party), maintenance scripts (that run on schedule at night), Backup, iDisk and iCloud syncs (the first uploads can be large), etc.
Once the initial cludge is cleared things get much better. But get that RAM upgrade. Crucial delivered mine within 24 hours of ordering
You'll need a very small screwdriver!

Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

I have noticed the same thing on my MAC. Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately. With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation. What is going on with this latest update?
