Ever since i've installed the new Yosemite OS X, my Macbook has slowed down (CPU usage spikes up rapidly, RAM 'Memory' usage is always above 5-6GB with nothing running) is this normal?
NOTE - I have a 13" retina with 8GB RAM, i5 CPU, 256GB SSD. It was never like this, i'm actually experiencing some lag now....
Why is this happening and would it be better to upgrade from a 13" to a 15" MBP?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Im having similar issues with my mid 2012 mbp the ram usage is high and the cpu is hight causing the heat and the fans to run more than ussual. the process that is causing this is lsuseractivityd and Ive tried killing it, it hust starts back up again so I am currently in the process of restoring back to mavericks from my time machine backup.
sorry I couldnt be of much help but it doesnt seem that there are all that many YET with this particular problem.
I also am experiencing the same problem, plus my cursor takes a while to respond after I move it.
I’d like not to be forced to do a clean install, as I have plenty of files and apps installed and cannot lose those.
I have an issue that might be the same. On my MacPro (previous gen) it appears to go slower after a few hours and it hangs during reboot. It closes and then I get the turning wheel forever. Until I hard shut it off.
I'm experiencing the same issues with my Macbook Pro 15" Early 2013. Below are my specs. This is an outrage my computer was one of the top of the line MacBooks at it's time and is barely over a year old. I've changed no activity since download.
I just did a permission repair and there where oodles of permissions repaired. I don't know if this will help as the issue I'm getting is after several hours, but it appears to have speeded up everything. For now.
I'm having the same issue.
I have an older Macbook Pro Mid 2010. After installing Yosemite I cannot use Safari anymore. Macbook heats up instantly, fans work at max battery drains in no time.
I'm ashamed to say but I'm forced to use Chrome browser to keep my battery alive. That is until I find a solution.
Hi,
I also have a problem since yesterday with my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6605981
My problem comes from the service "launchd" and "coreaudiod".
I recreated the Audio folder with the permission for coreaudiod. I also reinstalled Yosemite with Command + R.
I checked the permissions and repaired it before I did the reinstall.
After the reinstall these two services are still using a lot of cpu power in idle mode and the MacBook is heating up.
Battery is very fast on a low level.
I didn't have any problems with Mavericks. This problem comes up with Yosemite.
You should check the Activity Monitor at the Tools and the Console app at the Tools.
You should post your config here so we can help eachother.
best regards,
Frankie
I'm having the same issue with my late 2011 MBP. Resetting SMC and PRAM did the trick so far.
I have reset the PRAM and the SMC, but it didn't solve the problem. I still got the cpu load of coreaudiod and launchd.
Same issue here. Anyone get a resolution?
Politique d'enculés......
I found a little workaround for the moment at
I've reset the SMC and so far it works. The "window server" is at 6 - 7% CPU load down from 92-95%.
How did u do that?
