Nov 2, 2014 2:49 AM in response to zen_kvby Abhi_99,Simple steps: (You can try from Step 3- 5)
1) took a Genius bar appointment at an Apple Store nearby Apple - Concierge
2) Associate was very knowledgeable. He performed the necessary hardware check. All was good
3) It happened that my FileVault setting (System Preferences) was Turned ON & the harddisk was seem to be encrypting.
4) All you need to do is allow the disk to encrypt Overnight & once done Turn OFF the FileVault setting setting.
5) The disk will continue to decrypt in the background.

Mar 30, 2015 5:08 AM in response to zen_kvby tomothy13579,Also have a bit of a simple question, does this do anything to the contents of the macbook? i.e will i lose any documents/files by using the shift+control+option+power trickery?
Thanks (y)

Apr 16, 2015 11:06 AM in response to zen_kvby mikefromthe canyon,Another thing that can cause slow responses (i.e. the beach ball) is Safari. If you look at the Activity Monitor and "Safari" or "Safari Web Content" seem to be consuming a lot of CPU%, try doing a Safari reset. In the pulldown under Safari, click on "reset Safari". You'll have to reload all the tabs or windows you had, and go back and set your Safari preferences again (they will be reset to their default values), Good luck.

I cannot believe it was so simple to get my MacBook Pro running at a normal speed again. I was so confused as to why it became excruciatingly slow one day as I only use it for Microsoft Word files (maybe 50 saved) and 2 saved photos.
