Why is my Mac so slow?
My Mac is constantly lagging and freezing. It started when I had Mountain Lion and has gotten progressively worse; if anything, upgrading the operating system helped but not enough to make a significant difference. It seems like it's prompted by almost anything I do i.e. opening/closing applications, navigating, and even typing (as I type this I keep randomly getting the spinning wheel). It's the slowest when I have a web browser open and while streaming videos the screen will freeze but the sound will continue playing. The Activity Monitor shows that com.apple.geod is always "(Not Responding)" and - not sure if this matters - when things freeze it usually shows "(Not Responding)" and I'll see either kernel_task, coreaudiod, WindowServer, QuickLookSatellite, mdworker, the current web page I'm on or even Activity Monitor itself using most of the CPU. Otherwise the Activity Monitor shows at least 90% or above idle CPU.
Here is what I've tried so far:
Regular rebooting as well as an SMC and PRAM reset
Disk and disk permissions repair
Checked Spotlight - it's ready to search/not indexing
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and Java
Removed 3rd party extensions and any programs I no longer use
Does anyone have any ideas of what could be wrong? Here is my system information:

why is my mac so slow i have cleansed and cleaned it is a 2010 mac mini i5 but it runs like a 20 year old pc i have only had it for a few months and it was straight out of the box
I'm thinking that you have a > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications because the 2010 model's only have Core 2 Duo processors and the 2011 had the first i5 processor.
2 GB of RAM is the minimum requirement for Mountain Lion, but it's hardly enough to really enjoy doing anything else.
see > Memory and Free Installation Guides for Apple Mac Mini
Plus I don't have any problems running Mountain Lion and a load of App's on my 2010 Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM. -
Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share?
Why is my Mac pro slow to Open folders in a Windows SMB share? We use a Windows Server for graphics storage and I can open the share just fine, but when I attempt to open folders within that share it takes sometimes as long at 15 minutes to display the contents of the folders. This happend before and I switched to the other NIC port, but now it is doing it in both. I can open other connections to Windows SMB shares with no problem.

Why is my mac running slow after MOuntain Lion update??
after i updated my Mac Book it starts to browse very slow..why????
It doesn't sound like it, but you might try adding a different DNS server.
In Network System prefs, select the network service you use (ethernet or WiFi).
Click on Advanced.
Click on DNS tab.
Click the + button
Enter these numbers:
For OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Or Google: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 -
Why is my mac mini slower performance after upgrade to OS X Mavericks.
Since I updated my standard mac mini mid 2011 ( CPU I5 2.5 GHz , 4 GB 1333 DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 6630 256 MB DDR5 , 500 GB harddrive 5400 ) to OS X Mavericks it starts up slower , operates slower when working on it and shuts down slower then when OS X Lion was installed.
In short for me it does not perform as it has been advertised , being the better, easier and faster new OS X.
Is this something that will be resolved or is this it ?Here's the result of etrecheck maybe somebody can tell me if there is a problem :

Why is my mac mini slowing dowm
Hi All
My Mac Mini I got 8 weeks ago is now so painfully slow that I cannot load Safari or Chrome they just keep churning away and nothing happens.
Getting a bit fed up with it actuallyHi Robert,
If it's just browsers being slow, try this...
System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).
Click OK. -
Why is my mac so slow after installing Parallels?
I have the minimum memory alloted to Parallels and I have deleted all trash in Iphoto and any place else I could find it....
Does any one else have this problem?Are you really running OS X 10.4.6 ? That might be one problem because to run that version of OS X your Mac is way old with a slow CPU and a limited amount of RAM for todays applications.

Why is my mac internet slow and iphone fast, when both are running through the same router?
Hi
I have tried all sorts to fix this. The obvious resetting, rebooting etc of the router. I have spoken to my provider and stuff.
My internet on my iMac is terrible. I turn off wifi and back on and it works for about 20 seconds then stops. Very intermittent and hardly ever fast.
My iPhone however loads pages and apps that use the internet instantly. I am sitting at my computer so i cannot see why there would be a difference!
Its making my head hurt
HELPUse the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.
WiFi update 10.7.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501
Apple DNS Servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Wireless Improvements
Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
I have no way of testing some of these Firmware updates, read through them and see if any might apply to your system.

FIrst,
Completely uninstall ALL Google software per the instructions on Google's website. Currently, all Google apps, especially Google Chrome AND Drive are not playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Until Google releases an "official" fix or update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall all Google apps.
If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox. Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently.
You you have too many user startup/login items in your startup list. Having this many apps launching and running in the background can really cause a performance hit on your Mac.
You REALLY NEED to examine which items you truly need have absolutely have launch and run at Mac startup and/or login.
Add or remove automatic items
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Select your user account, then click Login Items.
Do one of the following:
Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
You need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied.
You may need to, ACTUALLY, go to the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, extensions and add-ons as needed,also.
Also, if you have any connected, third party devices, like non-Apple keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to go to each device maker's website and update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions, if available and applicable.
Good Luck! -
Whys is my mac so slow with mountain lion
Hi
I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro with 4GB RAM. I recently installed ML and CS6 and I have had nothing but problems since. I have reverted back to CS5 Photoshop and illustrator which has improved things slightly but generally, my machine has become a nightmare. It's SO slow - and it's not just the system - my internet is also unbearable. I am a freelancer and connect to other networks onsite and I have exactly the same problems there too. When I have PS and ID running, Activity monitor tells me I am using 3.67GB RAM - and I only have 2 smalll files open. It has become virtually unworkable and it's just not good for the soul - I really need help!
Any suggestions or tips would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Take these steps when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
