Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My macbook pro is lagging and freezing constantly in simple applications.

It just happen very recently and out of nowhere. Simple applications like word and finder where becoming really slow and just scrolling up and down seem to take several minutes. Most applications require me to use activity monitor to force quit. Booting up takes about several minutes. I have about 250gb free and have checked constantly the CPU and how much RAM my mac uses(2.00gb free of 4gb). I also have done repair permisions without any problems. Please help. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Hello daz_1104


I know you have repaired permissions, but have you tried repairing the disk through Disk Utility. Boot to the Recovery HD and then navigate to Disk Utility and in the First Aid tab click Repair Disk.

Sorry, I completely forgot to go in recovery HD. As I went to it, I clicked verify disk and then it said that the hard drive was corrupted. Then, I clicked on repaired disk and afterwards I clicked verify again and everything seemed well. However, it did make my Mac faster but not as it used to be and still lags pretty frequently especially with Microsoft applications.
