I've been going through too many problems with mavericks

Ok, so these are some of the problems that I have been experiencing while using Mavericks:

1. My mac has no recovery hd

2. I can't open the App Store because "it's not supported on this type of mac"

3. I can't login to Game Center because "local player could not be authenticated"

4. It takes 12 minutes to startup my mac

5. iTunes will crash at random times, even if I'm not doing anything with it

6. Apps like Safari or iBooks take 2 minutes to open. If I'm opening a game of some sort it would take 7 minutes

If anyone can tell me what on earth is going on it would be incredibly helpful.

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

It would help to give us more information. Etresoft: EtreCheck is a free app developed by one of the contributors to this forum which will generate a system report on your computer. If you can paste the report here we can take a look and see what might be the problem.

I downloaded EtreCheck today and it just crashes immediately after opening. I tried redownloading it but still the same problem.

How do you know that there is no Recovery Partition, how did you verify that?

Try downloading the 10.9.2 Combo Update from the Downloads site and install that. It may fix some of the problems you are experiencing.

If it is third-party crapware, you may have to boot into Safe Mode to accomplish anything. Note that some things are not functional in Safe Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
