Jan 28, 2015 11:06 AMby farazehjaz,I experience the same thing. i did a complete fresh reinstall and even tried to run Yosemite without additional installations of pages etc. But after a few days my macbook got EXTREMLY slow.
I had no option but to reinstall Mavericks and now everything is back to normal.
One should not judge the book by its cover. Yeah, Yosemite looks nice but my god, it has been the worst update ever....

Jan 29, 2015 2:00 AMby davidfrombentleigh east,Having read numerous posts about this I ended up taking my Late 2011 MBP to Apple genius bar. They ran a test and discovered there was a software issue that was causing my MBP to run slow, and frustratingly it was intermittent, but too annoying.
They ended up scrubbing the hard drive and reinstalling Yosemite and it is like I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER!
Unfortunately I did not do a great job of backing up and alas I lost some home movie files which I thought were kept in iTunes. Key lessons learned.
1. If you have a problem go to Apple
2. Make sure you back up everything.
3. The guy at Apple reckons Clean My Mac might have cause the problem. (Who knows) But I am know reluctant to use it again.

Feb 24, 2015 2:49 PMby elizzabethby,I found some interesting solutions online, and surprisingly enough turning off transparent windows and effects made my computer MUCH faster. It's like magic! For the record, I have 2010 MacBook Pro, 4GB RAM, 2.4GHz, Core i5.
There are some other very simple tips to try before any drastic measures here: http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/24/speed-up-os-x-yosemite-mac/
Perhaps, this will help someone?

Apr 18, 2015 2:51 PMby MU Ricky,I have a macbook pro mid2010. When I updated to Yosemite also had the same problem. My Mac became so slow and frustrating. I called Apple Support and they guided me through several clean up functions and although the speed improved a bit it didn't solve the problem really. In the end I upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB (I believe that's the maximum my Mac can hold) and hey bingo my old mac is back!. Despite what Apple say, 4GB is just not enough for Yosemite.
So if you've tried everything else then just upgrade your RAM. It's very easy to replace - if I can do it, anyone can do it. Here's the link showing what RAM you need (specs etc.) and removal and installations instructions MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support
