Macbook Air 2014 unbearable slow
Ever since I updated to Yosemite back in October, my macbook air has been so god **** slow. I can't get **** done on it, and my fans are overheating all the time. When I start IntelliJ, the CPU overclocks itself to 300%, same goes for photoshop. I can't even get anything done on my laptop anymore, and using an exernal screen is almost not worth it because of all the lag on the graphics and overall performance. It feels like I'm using this laptop back in 2008 with 2003 hardware and ADSL internet.
Problem description:
Macbook Air is generally slow, the animations are laggy, safari is unbearable slow and I can’t have Photoshop and safari on at the same time for example without suffering so much lag, and the fan starting to go on.

Yosemite made my macbook air slow. Please help.
Hello, my computer has been almost unusable for the past few weeks, I'm quite sure since I installed Yosemite. I read on another thread that I should run EtreCheck and start my own discussion. Here are the results, please help
Problem description:
I installed Yosemite and now my computer is crawling, the fan goes on for long periods and gets overheated. My hard drive was full but I migrated many of my files to dropbox and made sure to only selective sync files that were necessary on a regular basis.

Macbook Air running extremely slow - kernel_task at 300% cpu usage
I purchased my Macbook Air roughly 15 months ago and it's performance has constantly been impressive since I purchased it - until roughly a fortnight ago. I came home from work one afternoon and it was running at a snails pace. I had recently upgraded to Yosemite though I'm unsure if this had anything to do with it. I had also recently installed FitBit software to sync to my new FitBit flex.
It has continued to run in this manner constantly since the problem began. It is ridiculously slow, every single request takes a very long time to respond. Logging in takes forever. When I click on an app to open it, the icon bounces for 30 seconds or more, and it's not a smooth bounce either, it's quite a jagged bounce!
I'm hoping someone is able to provide some advice, guidance or help. The laptop is no longer covered by the 12 month Manufacturer Warranty, and I did not purchase an Apple Care plan as no Apple product I've owned before has experienced issues like this.
This whole experience is killing me! I'm suspecting hardware failure and I'm just so sad that this could happen to the laptop I've loved so much since I bought it!
The problem:
The kernel_task process is constantly running at 300% or higher cpu usage, with Activity Monitor indicating the processor is being maxed out by a system task. Also, the laptop's fan is constantly running at full capacity - from the moment the laptop turns on, or wakes up.
What I think the problem might be:
As a result of many, many Google searches, it appears that this behaviour may be due to the Macbook Air thinking it is overheating - and I will clarify here that it certainly is not. It is cool to touch, always, when this problem occurs. (yet the fan is almost taking off!). As a result of the MacBook Air thinking it's overheating, it not only is running the fan at a very high RPM (confirmed with iStat), but it also is intentionally choking the system with 'simple requests' in attempt to cool the computer down. Apparently this is a built-in feature of OS X. The kernel has priority over user tasks, causing all user tasks to be granted a lower priority, causing the computer to run INCREDIBLY SLOW. Even as I'm typing this, I'm about two sentences ahead of what is showing on the screen!
Steps I have taken:
- Read widely across the internet with every possible relevant search term I can think of
- Downloaded iStat to see if any of the temperatures are too high (they all seemed fine..)
- Disabled Bluetooth and Wifi. (no change)
- Reset SMC (multiple times.., no change)
- Reset PRAM (multiple times.., no change)
- Drained the battery completely (2 or 3 times, no change)
- Install Windows 7 on BootCamp in attempt to bypass the issue (CPU usage was 100% constantly in Windows also)
- Uninstalled FitBit software (no change..)
- Uninstalled other software I did not need (no change..)
- Attempt to boot into Safe Mode / Recovery Mode (even in this modes, the same thing is happening)
- Repaired Disk Permissions
- Backed up all personal data
- Used the built-in Internet Recovery mode to format my Macintosh HD and re-install a fresh copy of OS X (Mountain Lion). (no change…)
- Re-upgrade to Yosemite (no change..)
I've downloaded EtreCheck and here is the output:

Dec 20, 2014, 02:15:38 PM Self test - passedHi,
I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
I couldn't be happier. -
Macbook Air running extremely slow
I purchased my Macbook Air roughly 15 months ago and it's performance has constantly been impressive since I purchased it - until roughly a fortnight ago. I came home from work one afternoon and it was running at a snails pace. I had recently upgraded to Yosemite though I'm unsure if this had anything to do with it. I had also recently installed FitBit software to sync to my new FitBit flex.
It has continued to run in this manner constantly since the problem began. It is ridiculously slow, every single request takes a very long time to respond. Logging in takes forever. When I click on an app to open it, the icon bounces for 30 seconds or more, and it's not a smooth bounce either, it's quite a jagged bounce!
I'm hoping someone is able to provide some advice, guidance or help. The laptop is no longer covered by the 12 month Manufacturer Warranty, and I did not purchase an Apple Care plan as no Apple product I've owned before has experienced issues like this.
This whole experience is killing me! I'm suspecting hardware failure and I'm just so sad that this could happen to the laptop I've loved so much since I bought it!
The problem:
The kernel_task process is constantly running at 300% or higher cpu usage, with Activity Monitor indicating the processor is being maxed out by a system task. Also, the laptop's fan is constantly running at full capacity - from the moment the laptop turns on, or wakes up.
What I think the problem might be:
As a result of many, many Google searches, it appears that this behaviour may be due to the Macbook Air thinking it is overheating - and I will clarify here that it certainly is not. It is cool to touch, always, when this problem occurs. (yet the fan is almost taking off!). As a result of the MacBook Air thinking it's overheating, it not only is running the fan at a very high RPM (confirmed with iStat), but it also is intentionally choking the system with 'simple requests' in attempt to cool the computer down. Apparently this is a built-in feature of OS X. The kernel has priority over user tasks, causing all user tasks to be granted a lower priority, causing the computer to run INCREDIBLY SLOW. Even as I'm typing this, I'm about two sentences ahead of what is showing on the screen!
Steps I have taken:
- Read widely across the internet with every possible relevant search term I can think of
- Downloaded iStat to see if any of the temperatures are too high (they all seemed fine..)
- Disabled Bluetooth and Wifi. (no change)
- Reset SMC (multiple times.., no change)
- Reset PRAM (multiple times.., no change)
- Drained the battery completely (2 or 3 times, no change)
- Install Windows 7 on BootCamp in attempt to bypass the issue (CPU usage was 100% constantly in Windows also)
- Uninstalled FitBit software (no change..)
- Uninstalled other software I did not need (no change..)
- Attempt to boot into Safe Mode / Recovery Mode (even in this modes, the same thing is happening)
- Repaired Disk Permissions
- Backed up all personal data
- Used the built-in Internet Recovery mode to format my Macintosh HD and re-install a fresh copy of OS X (Mountain Lion). (no change…)
- Re-upgrade to Yosemite (no change..)
I've downloaded EtreCheck and here is the output:
Problem description:
OS X is running incredibly slow. kernel_task process is constantly using 300% and upward CPU usage.

MacBook Air 13'' - extremely slow!!
Hello everyone,
I have a Macbook Air mid 2011.
i7 1800 Mhz
4GB RAM
250GB Samsung SSD
At first the computer was extremely fast, but today it is as sluggish as ****! It is especially noticeable in folowing applications:
Mail - almost unusable, extremely sluggish when scrolling through mails, list or details. I had 600k mails, i deleted everything and set the account up new, no difference!!
Safari - just having it open sometimes peaks CPU usage to 60-70% for no reason, even scrolling Google results is slow!
iWorks (Pages, Numbers, you name it) - normal writing in Pages is slow, I write 5 words and an umbrella starts spinning while it's Autosaving
Three-Finger scrolling between virtual desktops or fullscreen Apps - the animation is sluggish IF the Dock is on the bottom, if i put it on the left/right it is fluent and fast
etc.
I have tried to do the folowing:
Verify/Repair permisions
Verify/Repair disk
Reinstall Lion
Completely format the harddisk and make a clean Lion install
Delete all the Apps I had installed, try it with only preinstalled Apps
Updating Lion to latest release
NOTHING of the above helped, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 and it works much better!!
Please help,
Thank you!After trying every possible solution I could find on Google (NRAM reset, Verify/Repair Disk and Permissions, Clean Install, Reinstall, Restore from Time Machine etc.) and nothing helped, with my Mac behaving the way it is, the conclusion is that they f**ucked something up with drivers in the latest MacOS update.
Scrolling anything (Safari webpage, Mail list etc.) isn't fluid but jumping around, just like on Windows when you do a fresh install and graphic card drivers aren't installed (it's running on some Default Windows drivers).
The problem is most probably in the Intel HD Graphics 3000. Eighter it needs a firmware or driver update. Every time I make a move that is graphically demanding (even dragging around windows) peeks my CPU usage to 100% (windowserver process goes nuts), probably because of no graphic acceleration, the CPU has to do all the work.
Altho, an i7 should go**amn be able to handle Safari webpages scrolling. -
Macbook air wireless extremely slow
I have a brand new macbook air and I'm having trouble with the wireless performance.
I don't think its the same problem everyone else is having. I don't think I'm losing my wifi connection (I've only seen it drop once).
But, loading web pages is extremely slow. Every web page takes minutes to load, some time out.
This doesn't happen on any of the other computers on our network- including an older macbook and a macbook pro that we have.
Any ideas?Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
It will take a while.
Restart the computer.

Macbook Air 2014 refresh: slow SSD?
MacWorld reports that SSD speeds are very much slower with the refreshed Macbook Air. I was going online to order one just now but I saw this article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2150841/lab-tested-new-2014-macbook-air-benchmar ks.html
Can someone at Apple comment? Is it fixable? This is a dealbreaker for me, so I'm holding off on purchase (even though I really need an Air ASAP) until I get more info on a solution. Would appreciate a response. I'll just get a used 2013 model unless there's a fix in the works. Thanks!Andy-J-D wrote:
I would be surprised if you got a direct answer, though.
be surprised then.
http://blog.macsales.com/19008-perfo...s-are-the-same
In the meantime, we have noticed a vast difference in write speeds between the two SSD offerings that we’ve received so far. The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD as our 11-inch model was configured. the write SPEED performance is mainly due to NAND densities and not brand performance in these cases, but we’ll know more once we can run the same tests on a few more models.
SSD densities on 256 and 512 are higher, and therefore faster than 128GB SSD
however the real truth is:
just slower on random writes
Ultimately it all levels out, so the figures are spurious
However the 802AC wifi is about 15% faster on the new 2014 AIR -
Macbook Air 2010 EXTREMELY SLOW!!! It's unbearable!
I've used CleanMyMac, closed everything,restarted, but nothing actually works. The macbook is barely loaded with anything but it cannot even play a simple, 360p youtube video without jagging and being stuck all the time. Please help me I can't do anything with this computer because it's so slow. I think this started since I installed Mavericks (not sure though.) Here's a report:

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. -
Macbook Pro running extremely slow, help?!
Of course, the curse of finals week strikes. As of a few days ago I woke up one morning and my computer started running really slow. It takes forever to restart, open tabs on the internet, switch between applications... everything. I always get the spinning wheel and it drives me insane. I have been reading a few posts, but I think it would be better to get some knowledge on what is actually wrong with my laptop. Any help is very much appreciated... coming from a stressed out college student!!!

MacBook Pro 13" extremely slow, help!
I bought the mac last summer (2012) and it's been flawless up until a short while ago. It's an i5 with 4gig ram and 500 HDD.
Of the two USB ports, the one closest to me stopped working less than a month ago (this is not the issue I want help with though, just mentioning it as it might be related somehow). A week later, I upgraded to Mavericks and everything remained the same. Computer was fine (except the usb port), then one night the computer crashed while I was using a music production program (which I've been using daily since I got the mac).
This is when the mac started going slow.
Starting the computer up now took 4-5 minutes and there was no point trying to open an application. I managed to back everything up (though it took about 15 minutes just to select all files, then two-three hours to move them to the external drive) and started the process of reinstalling OS X. I formatted the drive, which was a fairly quick process. Installing OS X however, took about 12-13 hours! So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the hard drive.
After OS X was installed, the computer was faster than before but still slower than pre-Mavericks. Even though I just formatted everything, I decided to repair permissions on the drive and it repaired 4 errors. It didn't make the computer much faster though. I can however use the computer now, but it is still laggy and sometimes slow. Booting up the computer now only takes 1-2 minutes.
So what do you guys think? Is it definitely a hardware problem or is there something I haven't done that might fix it? As I said it's faster than before I reinstalled the OS X but I still won't be able to use a music production app, it is too slow for that.
I appreciate any answers!

2. Go back to "Go" in the Menu Bar at the Top of the Screen> Hold the Option Key on the Keyboard and select the Library Folder that appears under Home in the Drop Down Menu> Select Caches Folder and Drag to the Trash and select Merge
