  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • After updating to Mavericks, my mac seems slower than ever.

  • Mac super slow all of a sudden

    Ok this is a new one.  I had my iPhone plugged into my mac and wanted to eject it.  I pressed the eject icon on iTunes and seconds after I clicked safari to just surf the web.  The safari icon jumped up and down on the dock for 5 whole minutes and then it finally opened.  Ever since that incident my Mac has been ridiculously slow.  I have tried restarting it a bunch of times but no luck...I have no idea how this happened.  It was working perfectly fine before I pressed the eject button.

    Problem description:
    Mac suddenly slowed down, especially when using Safari - spinning ball of death, pages won’t load, etc. Hard drive appeared to get “stuck” causing overheating and had trouble even shutting down with the button, and then wouldn’t reboot for about an hour.

    Seems to have worked.
    We hooked up the external HD, turned on Time Machine, and everything backed up.
    Then we ran Disk Utility. The disk repair required the reboot thing and took two tries. Then repaired permissions. Also updated Flash.
    Seems to be running okay now, but we have ordered a new SSD (as well as a new iMac 5k ). We use multiple computers so hoping we can get a couple more years of use out of this old computer as it ran fast and fine until this problem.
    Thank you so much for your help! We really appreciate it.

    My mac is slow, the movies run slowly, the kernel_task consumes 463,3 MB of memory, how can I fix this?
    The problem started a few weeks ago with a small decrease in speed, and the videos now crash while the sound remains normal. When I open the Finder or any file it seems that I'm opening the windows with the hourglass spinning. I've already  cleaned temporary, removed everything that was saved on the table, I made ​​up for the mountain lion. I have a Mac 27-inch, 3.06 GHz processor Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8. With space on the HD.

  • Mac Pro slow down after Yosemite 10.10.2 upgrade

    Upgraded in January.
    I get the spinning color wheel all the time.  Programs crash.
    I've run adware medic a few times, and etrecheck.
    First run through, adware found Genio.
    Since then, it hasn't.  Etrecheck still says it sees it, but Adware doesn't. Still no good.
    I reset SMS and PRAM.
    This machine is slow. Previous to the upgrade, this machine was very fast!

  • 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

    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.

  • Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

    Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

    7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion.  Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html.  Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac

  • My mac is slow when using autocad how I can fix that

    hello friends I have been working on my mac autocad but was slow and it is rare because the Macs are for graphic design

    Sorry I took so long to get back to you.
    OnyX may help.
    Also, make sure there aren't any programs running in the background or launched sitting idle.
    Make sure there aren't any startup items in your login that you really do not need running in the background.
    Background apps and other apps in your dock sitting idle take up CPU cycles.
    Also, 4 GBs of RAM is really, truly not enough RAM
    With every new version of OS X, you need more CPU, GPU and RAM power.
    4 GBs is fine for running the operating system, alone, but not enough RAMmfor running both the OS and something as CPU, GPU and RAM intensive like most high end CAD and graphics/drawing programs.
    Are you running Autocad version for Mac or running a version of Windows on the Mac.
    The latter would make your Mac even slower with only 4 GBs of RAM.
    You need a lot more RAM!
    Consider purchasing another 4 GBs of RAM and/or bite the bullet ( RAM for this iMac is not that expensive) and purchase enough to get you to 16 GBs of RAM.
    That will help your issues.
    Your running applications that need to have that extra RAM in there.
    Good Luck!

  • 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.
