  • Why is my macbook running slower after loading OSX mountain lion?

    Just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion a few weeks ago and my laptop seems to be running slower - delayed window filling, etc.  Anyone else notice this problem or have any solutions?  Should I just go in to see a genius?
    TIA,
    ddhall

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    One possible cause of a slow user interface is a large number of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
    Otherwise, take these steps when you notice the slowdown.
    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
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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.
    Select the 50 or so most recent messages in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    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 this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why is my Macbook running slow and cant connect to internet?

    My Macbook pro is running suuuuper slow and it doesnt let me connect to the internet, because of security issues?? It also changed its background photo and does not show the right date and time. what should I do?? It would be amazing if someone could help me.

    Follow these steps
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Why is my macbook running slow when not plugged into AC power? It runs fine when its plugged in?

    I have a late 2011 macbook 2.7 GHz i7. This wasn't a gradual thing, it just happened all of a sudden. I had upgraded to mountain lion of which I de-fragged my hard-drive thinking it was a hard drive issue, and am now running snow leopard but it hasn't made a difference. Is there like a energy saving option I am unaware of??  Please help, its driving me crazy. Its making my mac literally useless.

  • Why does my macbook run slow?

    Browsers, iphoto load very slowly. I have to do a lot of force quitting. I empty cache, and have only a dozen or so, mostly alias items on my desktop, but my machine is behaving like the pc it once replaced.
    Is there a repair software recommended? Or should i take to a dealer for service. Thanks for any help. The following is my info:

    When openning mail or Sarfari or almost any application it takes for ever to load; Send something to printer and it locks up for 5 minute then finally send to printer; over all performation is very slow?

  • Macbook running slow

    Hi,
    A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
    I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
    Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
    Thanks for your help

    Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    Do you have any ideas why Motion 5 would run slow on a computer? I have an Imac with 8Gigs of ram, and plenty of hard drive space, but it still gives me the beach ball when I add a few lights and effects. I'm at the end of my rope.

    You probably don't really need 1080 at 60 for your finished projects but since you're just starting out with Motion, you need to lower your expectations. A long way. 1080 is about 2 million pixels per frame, DV is only about 400,000. That's not just five times as many pixels for the Mac to track; everything in video is exponential.
    Explore the training tutorials available by Mark Spencer. You will get an idea of how his super powerful machine reacts with the software.
    Adding a light roughly doubles the processing time over flat scenes. Two lights increases processing again. Reflections require processing the lights and then calculating the reflections so add another quarter of the time required for flat scenes. Add camera movement, motion blur, and depth of field and you need exponentially more processing time for every frame. The preload of renders into RAM is one of the cooler features of Motion, as comapred to After Effects, but that takes tons of time, to.
    Try working in ye olde DV resolution for a few days. Get to know the software's limitations and what gets imposed by your Macintosh. Step up to 720p/30 and see how things slow down.

  • Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

    Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

    I am having the same issue. I hook it up to the charger in the evening and close the lid. When I go to use it the next time it takes a good 30 seconds or so to wake up. The screen shows the log in screen but typing doesn't work and the cursor is frozen. Sometimes it will even give the rainbow wheel for the cursor, so it seem like it is processing whatever to get going. I also notice that my battery won't be fully charged at anywhere from 95%-99% after being charged a full evening. What can I do to change whatever is happening because it is pretty crappy to charge it all night expecting to have a full battery for the next use, plus the issue of having to sit there waiting for it to boot every time.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro slow? Beach ball

    Boy, I was looking at a discussion of this from TODAY, about a half hour ago, and now can't find it.
    "Why is my MacBook Pro slow?" brings "screen tearing issue" and other things not related to my problem.
    I got and ran Easyfind, and got rid of MacKeeper.
    What else do I need to do?
    I have the beach ball way too often.
    I just made an iMovie, but optimizing it for YouTube is impossible.  Boxes keep getting grayed out; complete hangup.
    Can easyfind help further?
    Thank you.

    Hi Tomo 2,
    Kim Komando said get Sophos, so I did.  I see it found something called Bredo-K on Nov. 22.
    It's now scanning my OVER 5 MILLION FILES.  Seriously, I don't think I need that many.
    Right now about 50% of CPU idle,
    about 1.03 GB Ram free. 
    Sophos is using about 90% of whatever.
    This scanning could take all weekend.  I need to get rid of some stuff.  Hard to know what, though.
    Thanks for any more ideas.
    Jerry

  • Why is my Macbook so slow to open?

    Why is my MacBook so slow to start up? I've recently cleared more space on the start-up disk (currently has 49GB of the 74GB capacity), but it still takes about 2 minutes to start up from cold. Any suggestions?

    Hi Stevie,
    several thing could caused that, like a lot of application that need to be opened during start up, your default boot up destination is not your internal HD (so it will try to look to optical first, "clogged HD", etc.
    Try to optimize and repair permission in your macbook HD using ONYX or MAcHelpMate,
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/machelpmate.html
    Try to reset PRAM:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Open system preference: account : Login item and uncheck application that you don't want to start automatically.
    Good Luck

  • Why is my MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

    Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
    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.

  • I have macbook pro running Intel Core 2 Duo if I upgrade to Lion OS Xv10.7 will my macbook run slower?

    I have macbook pro running Intel Core 2 Duo if I upgrade to Lion OS Xv10.7 will my macbook run slower?

    I have a 13" MBP with the Core 2 Duo processor.  I do have 8 GB of memory, needed because I need to run Windows in a virtual machine (Fusion) to access client web sites that require ActiveX controls.  The Windows VM environment locks up 3 GB of the memory.
    I did all the maintenance steps in disk utility on the harddrive before upgrade, double checked compatability with all applications and drivers and made sure that I had a drive clone in addition to my Time Capsule  backup. 
    The only thing that didn't work on Lion was my RingCentral VOIP client, and that was expected from my research.
    The upgrade went smooth and I really haven't noticed much speed difference.

  • My MacBook running slow

    My MacBook runs slow. Tried "Safe Mode", not very clear effect to improve. Anyone has better idea? Thanks!

    Its a possibility there is hardware issues,
    or even adware. Bring your MB into a licensed store and run a diagnostic!
    OR
    (AT YOUR OWN RISK)
    Run a program called adware medic http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
    It will detect anything that shouldn't be there.
    You can also put your ear up to the location of the HDD (right bottom where you right hand rests) and listen if the HDD is making any strange noises or repetitive clicking.
