Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.

I Upgraded my MBP (2012), from Mavericks to Yosemite and it slowed my computer down to the point where it became unusable. I repaired the permissions, and even reinstalled Yosemite but it didn't help. My MBP is crawling and I'm hoping someone can walk me through a solution. Need help.

Hi John, making conclusions from an etrecheck list ?????

I'm not sure what you mean. The portion of Mr. etresoft's source code that extracts and reports information using OS X's system_profiler is easily examined by anyone with the motivation to do so.


Nothing else about the system report matters until Norppis_90 replaces that Mac's HDD. Since there is no evidence a TM backup exists, suggesting the need for one is also appropriate.

Yes you are both John. The other thread had the same note at the disk., after the unencrypting was ready the note was gone. We still checked the disk of course. You were there too, a few days ago.

I'm an ASC Yogi. I live "in the moment" and have no memory of a few days ago.


The log files that EtreCheck reads are very similar. The disk errors go away, but that only means they aren't currently visible in the log files which get rotated on a regular basis. I have seen some funky things with disk errors on Yosemite, especially with external 2.5" drives. I can't say for certain that a drive that shows these errors has actually failed, but Yosemite is definitely having problems with it. Hard drives are so cheap and easy to replace that I don't mind tossing them at the first sign of failure. That being said, Yosemite makes me uncertain of many things.

I'm having issues with my macbook pro. I have Yosemite installed since a few months but, out of the blue, my laptop started being really slow yesterday. I can't get it fixed so I'm dropping my EtreCheck here 🙂 :


Problem description:

Macbook Pro starts to work very slow out of the blue. Lots of stuttering and spinning wheels.

Jan 17, 2015 11:33 PM in response to Pheanika

You haven't said a word about what issues you are having and you responded to a person asking you to "Can you boot into the Recovery volume and repair disk permissions and the disk with Disk Utility?" so I don't have any idea what you are asking for.


If you can't find the answer to your problem by reading all sixteen pages of this discussion, please start your own beginning with a detailed description of your issue(s) along with screen shots, if applicable. Don't post your EtreCheck output unless somebody asks as some of our troubleshooters don't want it and may prescribe different diagnostics. That way you will get a lot more help faster than hoping somebody is still monitoring this too-long discussion. I'm not trying to be critical, but that's just the way this forum works best.

Jan 18, 2015 12:17 PM in response to hunttvillage

I also upgraded my MBP (2012), from Mavericks to Yosemite and it slowed my computer down. I repaired the permissions but it didn't help.

Can anyone help me I did this EtreCheck as well...
