Worst update ever - my computer loads slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and totally unusable.

TThis has to be the worst update ever. My Mac (if it loads...50% success), boots slowly, is incredibly sluggish, and completely unusable.

Don't shout. Yes, we will be seeing an update soon. Version X.1 is always released just a few weeks after the initial release. Apple tries to repair the most disruptive bugs in that first update, and does more finetuning in the second, which usually is released about two or three months after the initial release. That's the usual routine.
On some Mac's people seem to have performance issues like yours. I understand your not happy, but I suggest you'll be patient some more and update when 10.1 or 10.2 comes out. When it does run smooth on your machine, you'll find out it's the best upgrade (it's an upgrade, not an update) since many years.
Do as Canyonlight wrote in the fourth entry of this topic. Just use you backup and go back to Mavericks and wait it out. Nothing wrong with that. Upgrading is not a necessity but a choice.

    Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • Web pages load slowly using Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

    Web pages are loading slowly now on my mid-2008 iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. 
    Doesn't seem to matter if I use Safari v5.1.10, Firefox v29.0.1, or Chrome v34.0.1847.131. 
    Problem started about a week ago mostly with YouTube but now I have issues with almost all web pages loading slowly, including this one.

    Try resetting both your Intenet MODEM/Router by unplugging them, waiting 15 to 20 seconds then plugging them back in.

  • Worst Update ever -

    Dear friends from the Adobe Acrobat staff,
    do you ever use Acrobat by yourself? Not only that we have to deal now with a candy land design borrowed from some tablet games instead of a professional user interface like the other CC Apps. Acrobat forgets whether there was a tool window opened last time and you need to open it again every time you start Acrobat (and, F4 seems not work for that on the Mac). Some menu items do the same as before but received new names. The menu bar on Mac isn't compatible with the OS standards. In the result you won't be able to rearrange the items. And what about the "document is prepared for reading" message that prevents you from working for minutes with big files? No clue how to get rid of that. But, of course, I may revert to a former version. Thanks so much for your generosity. What did I pay for again? Crashing my workflows?

    Hi Danny ,
    I completely understand your concern .However this is the way the new Acrobat DC has been designed .It might improve in the next update .However ,as of now we cannot commit anything .
    You might want to fill in the wish form so that your request reaches out to our engineering team and they could probably work on it to improvise it .
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    And as far as the other issue is concerned, stating about the message you get "document is prepared for reading ".You could probably refer the following link and try the given steps and see if that fixes the issue .

  • Firefox 3.6.9 updated to my computer this morning. Now eBay and yahoo are refusing to load properly, and I'm told it's 'incompatible' with AVG stop malicious sites or something like it - what to do?

    I think what loaded was a firefox for google pack. But I'm not sure about that. Tried to use Yahoo, it said to try to clear my browser, or clear my cookies, or several other suggestions I can't remember. My AVG something or other has been disabled because it is incompatible with whatever firefox loaded.
    Assistance would be appreciate. Go slowly. Use small words. Thanks.

    If AVG is blocking it then you need to contact AVG and ask them why that is happening.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />

  • Thank you Apple for the worst update ever! This is what I lost last night..

    I lost my messages! I lost my wireless passwords! I lost all the progress in every game I had! I lost email accounts that I had to reconfigure! I lost my mind!
    What I gained? A slower iPhone that can arrange folders...
    I want my things back but I guess... well you know... I guess I don't deserve it. I'm just a client to make proffit. No one in Apple will ever read this.

    I personally think that's a crappy response and poor assumption. Doesn't the old saying go, make an ASSumption, make an ASSoutofyourself?
    I'm in the same case as the OP. I back up regularly. I keep iTunes updated. I keep Windows updated. And I did "everything right" as was instructed by Apple. Plug in. Sync. Click Update. And that's where all **** broke loose.
    My download of os4 went fine. It was the update that totally wiped my data, leaving me with only ONE of my updates (from Sept 09) in tact, but still unusable, as it throws the iPhone into a continual syncing loop. It hung up on the "backup" process, and if you look through these forums, this certainly isn't an uncommon problem, and more importantly, not a FIXED problem. After about 4-5 hours of waiting for my phone to backup, I finally thought maybe it truely WAS hung up, so I tried to cancel the backup process, and since I had backed up prior to downloading, I figured it would be okay. And if that failed, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to rollback to my last most recent backup from about a week ago. But no. I tried to backup and I got stuck in the never-ending backup loop. And then finally after Restoring and Rebooting about a dozen times, I am finally left with the realization that I have a "working" iPhone with iOS4, but absolutely NO data and NO settings. The games were the least of my concerns. I had business apps on there that I use for my freelance business. The settings of the many apps I had on there will take me DAYS to reconfigure, and that's if I remember everything easily.
    Thanks Apple.

  • How do I return to version 6?? Ever since 7 loaded, my speed is terrible and I have had crashes. Help!

    I have always updated automatically,. When version 7 loaded the other day, I thought nothing of it. It has been extremely slow and buggy since it loaded and I want to return to version 6 right away. This has happened on every connection from hotel WiFi to my Verizon FiOS at my home office.
    Help

    The two or three problems may not be directly related. Firefox 6 is no longer supported or considered secure, it is not recommended that you downgrade to that.
    # see [[firefox crashes]] <-- clickable link -- <br/>if you are seeing crashes lets try to find the cause, please read that article and attempt to provide the crash ID.
    #* please also try to explain what you see and when these crashes occur
    # Speed is terrible, what is happening freezing, slowly loading, slow downloading or something else ?
    #* may be interesting in looking at this advice: <br/> http://blog.bonardo.net/2011/09/30/is-your-firefor-freezing-at-regular-intervals (May already be fixed in Beta Firefox 8 ? )
    #* there is also another [/forums/contributors/707680?last=42955#post-42923 issue] and iirc a developer was trying to investigate the causes of that, meanwhile again a workaround is possible.
    * if you do need to downgrade currently it would be recommended you use firefox 3.6.23, that is secure and supported, but you will loose some features and advantages & fixes of the newer versions

  • After updating to Yosemite, MacBook Pro freezes every 5 seconds and is unusable.

    Macbook pro was working perfectly fine for first day after update, but after a day it freezes and shows the rainbow wheel every 5 seconds so that I can't even use it. I've noticed when it logs in and I have two options of my accnt and guest, then when I put in my password it takes a while to load with a status bar. Then it will freeze after log in.

    I have dropped my Macbook once about 5 months ago
    Apparently, you suffered internal damage which is now showing up.
    What do I do?
    Take your MBP to your local AS or an AASP.
    If I take it to the Apple store, it will fix things obviously, but will I be charged or what..?
    YUP!  No warranty & no AC. 

  • Ever since upgrading to Yosemite, Aperture is slow and basically unusable. Every click results in spinning wheel.

    Ever since the upgrade to Yosemite, my Aperture application will not let me perform any tasks. I have let it run over night and many times to do database repairs etc... and nothing seems to work. Any recommendations on what I can do to help get the application back to a better state?

    and many times to do database repairs etc...
    Have you also rebuild the Aperture Library?
    Have you opened the "Activity" window to check, which tasks Aperture is running? (Window > Show Activity)
    Sometimes Aperture may be trying to process a corrupted image or video over and over again. Then it will help to identify the problematic item and to delete it from the library.
    If you cannot find anything suspicious in the Activity window, try to find out, if your aperture library has a problem by testing with a new, empty Aperture library. Just add a few photos and check, if Aperture is more responsive.
    If Aperture does not even work with a new library, check in a different user account, for example the Guest user.

    [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • 10.4.8 worst update I've ever had from Apple.

    I'm pretty much a Mac expert, never had a problem with a update in 15 some odd years but 10.4.8 has a lot of glitches.
    Main problem is airport related on all 6 macs, G4, G5 and intel machines.
    I hope Apple fixes it's errors very soon.

    Give this a try. It's been reported helpful for some.
    1. Open System Preferences, select the Network pane and select AirPort in the "Show:" popup menu.
    2. Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Preferred networks."
    3. Delete the listed preferred networks using the "-" button but this time we did not add it back again with the "+" button as Apple recommends.
    4. Set the "By default, join:" popup menu to "Automatic."
    5. Restart.
    6. Manually rejoin the AirPort network using the AirPort menu icon, i.e. selecting the network (or selecting "Other" and typing in the network name if hidden) and typing in the WPA (or WEP) password.
    Some users have also reported success by deleting the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ folder.
    BTW, rather than the hyperbole wouldn't it have been more accurate to say this is the ONLY update you've ever had a problem with rather than saying it's the WORST update? After all your message stated you've NEVER had a problem in 15 years until now. Sounds like either you or Apple is batting 14 for 15. I'd say that's an excellent record for operating system software. So why the "misleading" verbiage?
