Jan 2, 2014 8:47 AM in response to Dale Weisshaarby Gintoxic76,Sorry about the late reply.
I have one of the first aluminium unibody macbooks from late 2008, 2.0GHz running on Mavericks now.
The computer itself seems to have slow down, I freed up some hard drive space but still slow.
Opening programs is quite slow and sometimes doesn't respond.
I tried the mentioned Shift, Option, ON/Off but it turns on at around 7 seconds in.

Jan 5, 2014 1:22 PM in response to Gintoxic76by Dale Weisshaar,What size hard drive do you have? My late '08 has a 250 GB. If that's what you have 42 GB of free space is good. Should have 10 to 15% free. If you installed a 500 GB, let's say, 42 GB would be below what is recommended....below 10%....and could cause big issues.

Jan 9, 2014 3:58 PM in response to Dale Weisshaarby MacsVad,Hi, I'm experiencing a similar problem. My MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 running OS X 10.9 started running incredibly slow this monday and will not go to sleep-mode either. I've done a reset of the SMC and NVRAM, repaired disk permissions, deleted caches, and run an AHT which showed nothing. The problems also exist in safe mode. It's a 500 GB hard disk with 110 GB's of free space, which shouldn't be a problem and when running the pmset -g command it answers with 'sleep prevented by apsd, apsd'.
Would you recommend a clean install of OS X or should I simply replace the hard drive? Or might it not be the hard drive that's the problem at all?
I really hope you will answer this!
Thanks in advance.

Jan 10, 2014 12:12 PM in response to Dale Weisshaarby Gintoxic76,Well, it's a 160 Gb with more than 40 free.
