Q: Slow MBP after Yosemite install and other concerns
Hi
There are a few discussions on this topic, they did not help due to the fact that I have no clue what to do or if I even have a problem.
The problem:
My MBP is slower after I installed Yosemite, sometimes the wheel of death pops up and freezes what I am busy with in Safari. Apps take longer to open than usual.
I have added EtreCheck results from this morning.
Please give advice on:
How to improve the speed.
Whether there is there something in the results that I should be concerned about.
Hardware that should be updated.
Should I get an app to delete or prevent unnecessary files (from apps?) from being saved without my knowledge.
Thanks
EtreCheck version: 2.1.6 (109)
