I have a macbook unibody 2008 2.4, I ungraded to snow leopard, Id say for the past 3 months any time I open up safari or firefox after I have 5 tabs open the computer runs slow as can be. The computer when I scroll the little pinwheel pops up before I can do anything, it has gotten so bad the pinwheel has to pop up when I type more then 5 words. It has gotten so bad that even after the browser is closed I have to reboot my computer before it will run normal again. I know its not my ram I upgraded to 4gb of ram and I do clean out history and defrag on weekly basis. Is there any solutions that wont require a reboot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem description: My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. What I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine?
I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions. Â
Here are the EntreCheck results: Â
EtreCheck version: 2.0.11 (98)

My MacBook is from the Summer of 2007, so its not the newest one but the last model, a black one. Basically, it just runs slowly. Sometimes i'll boot it up and just dragging icons can be really choppy and opening files or just double-clicking the Mac HD icon will cause that spiral of colors to pop up. It isn't always super slow but I would say that my mac is a lot lot slower than it was in the first 6-8 months I owned it. It has 1gig of memory and it isn't like I have lots of programs running at once (if i was i would understand it being a bit slow) My guess is just from going to websites, cookie build-up, maybe the hardware is just againg, pop-ups, pornography, or whatever is just causing it to slow down. I'd like to not have to reinstall the os and i'm at school anyways so i dont have the disc for that. Any idea what I can do?

View 3 Replies View Relatedlately i have noticed my computer running slow. It is a MacBook Pro OS x 10.4.11 processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo memory 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM My HD capacity is 148.73 GB Available 22.07 GB (used 126.66 GB) Internet DSL (verizon) At first i noticed it while browsing the web, trying to see a video on youtube. it would cut the transmission or take time loading pages. I first thought it was my internet connection, but now it even seems slow when I open documents (Word, for example) and even when I am typing (i noticed this 3 days ago, and now I am really concerned) In april, I did a complete reinstallation of my OS and all applications, hoping it would be working better (at that time my CD/DVD drive would sometimes reject discs when I tried to burn music or a video-that i had made) i have 12.4 GB in movies 18.48 GB in music and 33.98 GB in pictures and videos could this be the cause of such a slow down? I don't want to go out and spend money i don't have right now, in an external hard drive to free up space, and maybe this was not the cause of the slowdown. As music educator I keep record of my students' work with pictures and video, so i like to have this at hand, and I am working with this right now.

1) wake-up form sleep takes up to a minute
2) Various icons will not open or respond until I have clicked on it three or four times and get the spinning beach ball (Finder, Calendar, iTunes)
3) Using Outlook for Mac app - similar issue as 2 when trying to send mail, add attachments or do anythingÂ

View 15 Replies View RelatedI bought my girlfriend a MacBook Air and 24" LED Cinema display, and the MBA works great when it's on its own. However, when she plugs in the 24" and runs the MBA in clamshell mode, she gets beachballs even when trying to print, open folders...the whole system seems to slow down. It's the Rev B MBA with the 1.6Ghz C2D, so I can't imagine it's the 9400m, she doesn't have a full hard drive...I just can't think of what is causing the system to slow to a crawl like that?

I was talking on skype. I attempted to open microsoft messenger for mac. It froze up the video on skype, but I could still hear the person I was talking to. Microsoft messenger failed to open, so I clicked okay on the error box.
A few minutes later skype froze up and I could no longer hear or see the person I was talking to. My mac was unresponsive and I could not get anything to close so I held the power button and shut it down. I waited for a few minutes and tried to re-boot. It took a few minutes and was still trying to boot, so I went and took a shower. I came back and it was fully booted, yet running very slow. Every application I tried to open would not open fully, I had to force quit anything I tried to open. Even "Finder" wasn't responding and had to be re-launched. As it stands now, I can't stand to try to even use my Mac because it runs so slow, and will not open any applications.
i had a 2006 macbook core duo that ran really nice with snow leopard, recently the logic board died so it hasn't been used for a month, i got parts from my friend and now running a 1.83ghz core 2 duo logicboard in its place. the big problem what i think is the hard drive got corrupted due to the bad logic board, when i first put the hard drive back in it wouldn't boot except into safe mode and after i repaired permissions it would boot. however it still starts up slow and os performance seems sluggish and if i run disk utility it always has permissions to fix and takes forever.

Anyone else notice that their CPU temperature rose a bit after the EFI update? I had no freezes whatsoever and it ran pretty cool throughout my usage pattern.
Now after the EFI update my CPU temperature is a bit higher at around 70C-77C with the fan staying mostly at around 2800RPM as to the 2200RPM before the EFI update.My CPU temperatures were at around 66C-70C before the EFI update.

Does anyone know why 1080p video runs slow on my late 2008 Macbook Pro (lowest end + 4 gig of RAM), yet 720p runs just fine? I'm using VLC for both...I mean, 720p is still great quality, but I would like 1080p for certain things...

As the title says, my Macbook Air running freaking amazingly hot ever since the latest Mac Update. Any ideas, I can't find anything in the Activity monitor that could be causing my Macbook to be running so hot.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy laptop has been having problems track pad doesn't always work, runs slow, freezes. I replaced the hard drive on advice and that didn't help. I went to disk utility and verify and repaired disk permissions, that didn't help. I went to the erase tab and I clicked on "erase free space" thinking that would "defragment" free space, like a PC has.Now all my available memory is gone.I thought I was freeing up space. Now my apps don't work correctly and I can't reinstall because I don't have enough disk space.

I need to find a better download management application than Speed Download. Whenever I run speed, and download more than one file at a time, my memory usage skyrockets and maxes out. System runs VERY sluggish, and i basically can't use my MBP until downloads are done.
has anyone else noticed that the new safari update has made the program slower when loading pages? notably, the end of the page takes a second or two to load (whereas before it was much much quicker), and it will beachball for a sec as it finishes?
View 19 Replies View RelatedAfter installing the EFI 2.7 update yesterday, my MacBook Pro 17" has had an odd bug.Â
When the display dims after x minutes of inactivity, it takes 10-15 seconds after activity (mouse click, key press, etc.) for the screen to "un-dim". Same happens when trying to wake from the screen saver or sleep.Â
I have tried restarting as well as restarting w/PRAM reset. After the PRAM reset, the MBP would wake as usual for a little while, but then reverted back to the slow wake bug.Â
