Q: Macbook Pro mid 2012 running very slow
I have a mid 2012 macbook pro and barely any of my memory used- no photos, videos or music on here, only documents. I have Captain. So I guess I am wondering if these Mac just need to be replaced after 5 years or what?
It starts very slow, and the only time it crashes is when I copy addresses from Excel (Office 2011) and then send to a mail. Then I get promoted to send an error report and I am wondering what the heck they do with that? Not help me... :-)
I will eventually go to the Mac store BUT I know I will just buy a new Mac and financially do not want to do that.
Can Office 2011 be the issue? Should I try to get 2016?
In the past I had a PC-and people (professional IT's) would say add this malware/adware etc. and then I had more problems so when I read through these forums and people say to try this or that it generally makes me nervous because my Macbook is functional.
I do have a time machine and always back ups. I also have auto updates on.
Thanks so much!!!
