Q: Super slow after Mavericks Install and Re-install
The Hardware:
Late 2011 Macbook Pro.
2.5Ghz Core i5
320GB used of 500GB HD space.
16GB 1600MHz DDR3
Running OS X 10.9 Mavericks
The Problem:
I installed Mavericks and all of a sudden, beach balls all of the place, with every single click. Transfering files into my external hard drive took 8 hours. Activity Monitor (takes about a million years to open that up), shows no major processes or rougue processes running. My CPU usage is below 3%.
What I've Done Thus Far:
- Safe Boot, Still running the same issue.
- Hardware Tests - All passed
- Reinstalled Mavericks
- Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Took it to the Apple Store, and got the, re-install Mavericks suggestion.
I'm out of things to do. I find it hard to believe that this computer is failing as it's in mint condition and is only used once or twice a week for a couple of hours, if that.
Any suggestions on what do to?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9), 500GB HD, 16GB Ram
