Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Since I upgraded to OSX 10.8.2, my computer has been running very slowly--painfully slow in some instances. I have 4GB memory, 2.4/2.2 Ghz Intel processor, 500 GB harddrive (184.64 GB free). I purchased Snow Leopard as a downloadable upgrade from the app store, so I do not have any disks. Any suggestions? Thanks! (Please be very specific as I can follow instructions, but am not a tech wiz.)
Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

You mean to say you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard to 10.8 Mountain Lion via the AppStore.
10.6 isn't available from Apple as a downloadable option, only via disks.
so I do not have any disks.
10.8 has a bootable partition on the boot drive that acts like a boot disk.

Well you can try reading these links first, then decide if you want to handle it or allow a local professional to speed up your system. (Apple won't)
Some Mac's shouldn't even be upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8, despite what Apple says as it slows them down too much (and drives a premature hardware upgrade )

Sorry, YES, I did mean Mountain Lion. Get the cats mixed up 🙂
MacBook Pro running very slowly. Please help.
