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.

I am having issues as well. Everything takes so long... even opening up "System Preferences" is agonizing. I don't even remember what my mouse pointer looks like. It's constantly the colour wheel.

It looks like you have already tried to get rid of the most common troublemakers (TuneupMyMac and Boom) although I'm not sure what kind of damage you did with the former. You should delete both of them from System Preferences->Users & Groups->Login Items tab by highlighting them and using the minus "-" key, but they aren't causing your issues while in the Trash, which you might want to empty.


Silverlight is out-of-date, so you might want to update or remove it.


Adware Plus allows ads from paying customers like Google and Microsoft to be seen, so you might want to switch to the "Adware" extension, which does not.


Diagnostics and Page-Outs indicate a problem. Either your computing habits require more RAM and a faster drive or you've got something wrong with your OS X installation. You can try re-installying OS X from your Recovery HD. That won't touch any of your user files or third party software, just give you a clean version of the OS.

Madmacs has already identiefied some bad software:

Your mac should run correct before you upgrade the hardware:

Boom and Tuneupmymac and Caffeine are crippling softwares: uninstall completely and/or remove the remnants.

Take ALL entries out of the loginitems, then restart.

Do not start LOL, for the time necessary to get this mac back on the rails.

Safari->Preferences->Extensions: remove AdblockPlus (it can not be trusted anymore, Reed) put in Adblock.

Download AdwareMedic from thesafemac.com and run it.

Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.
