Q: 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.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

    You should be able to use it. Something else is wrong.

    I believe it's because of the upgrade to yosemite, however I am probably going to do a clean install

    soon anyway and can just reload the CD. I have a license so if there are still issue's I can contact Apple.

     

    Thanks!

    Is there any possibly my issue could be the hard drive cable bracket being loose?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Old Told, I have the same problem. Since I updated my Macbook Pro to Yosemite, my laptop has become really slow.

    I have downloaded Etrecheck, and would appreciate if you could tell me how I could fix it next.

    Thank you in advance.

    Please start your own thread with your question. That would be the best way to fix it.

    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.

    Buy more RAM. Buy an SSD.

    Are there other options? Can I delete anything?

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    Silverlight is out-of-date, so you might want to update or remove it.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

    What is "LolClient?" It's taking up 49% CPU and 410 MB of RAM. It's a significant load on the system.

     

    And start a new thread. Piling on a 4-month-old thread that's marked as solved is the wrong place to ask this.

    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.
