Q: Very slow moving files between folders and to trash after update to Mavericks

Hello everyone,

 

As the title says, it takes me so long when I move files between folders and move files to trash after I update my Macbook Pro to Mavericks. Sometimes it takes 1-2min to move A SINGLE MP3 files to another folder, and sometimes even longer. This problem didn't exist when I still used OS X Lion.

 

Is there anyway to fix this problem ?? Please help !!! Apple please look into this case and release a new version of Mavericks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

     

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Try Force Quitting Finder to see if that helps (command - option - esc).

    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC.

    Another thing to add... Not only does it take ages to move 3 files into another folder.

    When there are only 3 files, the finder states that it is moving 4 files.

    As I design alot, the time taken to browse my stock photos is taking forever to open/load the images.


    i never had this problem, in my 11 years of using a Mac, not even on my iMac and MacAir.

     

    I am running 10.10.3 - Macbook Pro 15"

    2.4ghz, Intel Core i7

    250gb and i currently have 73gb left still, finder usually takes time when there is not enough space on the system or loading external hard drives.

     

    It is very concerning for me as this mac has crashed twice for no reason to a blue screen and i had to reformat and restore everything.

    I am doing a timemachine backup every hour especially when i am done with something important the whole of today.

     

    Will not using the laptop often have cause this issue somehow? The only thing i found is that i have not used this laptop that regularly this year, but I use to use my Macbook Pro daily for all my work, till i bought my MacAir and i only use this laptop once a week or once in two weeks for the past 3 months.

     

    Any advise?
