My macbook pro is running really slow, is it the memory?

I'm using a Mac OS X, version 10.7.5, and my storage has 277 gb free left out of 500gb. What should i do to make my macbook run faster? It's running really slow, (even my itunes lags when playing a song). Please help, thank you!

You could try permission repair.

You could also try PRAM reset

If those two don't work go to Apps>Utilites>Activity Monitor and look at your processes. At the top click where it says my processes and change it to All Processes. Look and see if there is anything that is eating up an abnormal amount of memory.
