Q: Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.

Help!!!  New MBP to me - just today.  It was an openbox at Bestbuy and my first forray into Apple, and I'm disapointed.  My 2 year old $250 asus seems to be faster.  My results:

what is wrong with cleam my mac2?.

thanks

This is happening to me as well. Currently, after Yosemite install, my MBP 13'' Mid 2012 has become so slow. It is very upsetting. This just shouldn't happen. Hoping apple has a fix for this piece of crap software update they just released.....And no, i expect this expensive machine to just work. I"m not a computer engineer to be wasting my time sitting around reading some techie work arounds. I bought this piece of software/hardware expecting it to work, not snag up on me whenever it is having a "bad day". This is a little ridiculous to be perfectly honest.

I have also updated my MacBook Pro (Spring 2010) from Mavericks to Yosemite and I have also noticed a slower performance. I have downloaded Entrecheck hoping to have some kind of help. Please, any suggestions? I’m not sure if I should get more RAM for my computer or if it’s something more complicated.

That is unreadable. Start your own thread with the etrecheck report posted as copied to the clipboard like others do.

Hey guys!
I am experiencing very similar problems...

My MacBook Air (early 2011, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD) has become very slow compared to a few days ago on Mavericks!

Old Toad or anybody else help will be much appreciated.

You did not check whether your software is compatible with Yosemite before you upgraded your OSX?

There are a fair number of apps that will run limping or not at all on your mac.

Please start anew thread (this will attract more troubleshooters), this one is already too long.

Post the link to the new thread here.

My mac is running slow from Yosemite and airplay doesn't work.  Here is my EtreCheck.  Can someone look at it and make a suggestion?

Thanks,

HELP!!!

Is there an easy solution to this widespread problem. My machine's report is below. Any clear ideas on what I can do to solve the prob?

Thanks.

Problem description:

Since I installed the new Yosemite OS my MacBook Pro has virtually ground to a halt. Everything is so slow the machine is now almost unusable - rather like dial-up connection days of old. I’d love to be able to fix this!

Same with my Macbook pro mid 2012. The slowness isn't as unbearable as others has stated but it is becoming increasingly annoying. Heres my EtreCheck report. Cheers!

You have the Spigot malware installed on your mac.

Your Mac is at the bottom end of specs required to run Yosemite. You have 2Gb Memory, realistically you need 8Gb. 2Gb will make it very hard to run even a small amount of the programs you are running. I would increase the memory, Backup your data, and reinstall Yosemite.

Hi do you think I should just do a clean install of snow leopard, that is what it originally came with?
