My Macbook Pro Mid 2010 does not work with Yosemite. I have tried several fixes but I still have spinning ball after most clicks and serious lag in everything I do. Annyone else? I spoke to Apple and they don't appear to ackknowledge the problem.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 4GB RAM
Yosemite works just fine on most mid-2010 MacBook Pros so you've probably a hardware or third-party software problem.
Download and run EtreCheck. Copy the results to the clipboard and paste the output in a reply here. That way we can, at least, determine if you've any third-party software that may be problematic.

Hi, as requested. I'm thinking maybe parallels. I uninstalled MacKeeper but problem persist!
TY very much .John

You seem to be running low on physical memory. I see no obvious reason for that, even though Firefox seems to use quite a lot of RAM.
Try the steps in the first message of this topic: Guide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage
Post back if this doesn't improve things.
If you no longer have a Blackberry, I suggest that you eliminate all RIM files. That will eliminate anther 'slowdown' element.
Ciao
Hi,thanks fo help so far.
I tried that. It's better but still beach balls occasionally. I have menu tab pro running?? Oh, btw I didn't uninstall Parallels so has always been installed although no virtual machine started.🙂
Hi, never had a blackberry Always iPhone. Thanks anyway.🙂
Why then is Blackberry software installed on your Mac?
Is it!! It was my ex's before me but I have done full reinstall from scratch after hard disk problem?!!
SO, how do I rid myself of RIM files?
Incredible. You went from "it's an Apple software problem" to "it's my ex-wife's fault".
It always is/was😉
I have the same problem also. Mountain Lion works better for me but since I downloaded Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, I can not open my CD-ROM documents at all! I am wondering if it is possible is I can go back to Mountain Lion for Yosemite is giving me a lot of problems.
I have a mid year 2010 straight MacBook and had slow execution as described above AND my MS Office applications as well as Adobe Acrobat would crash when I tried to print. After being unable to print for 2 weeks and talking to Apple Support who had "never" heard these problems with Yosemite, the OS mysteriously healed itself overnight (after talking to Apple Support) and everything works though it is slower than the Maverick it replaced.
All, this is a complicated issue and seems rife with blind alleys. I narrowed my problems down to Menutabpro (FB) and Apple GPS system. Process called 'Apple.com.geod' kept hanging and slowing up computer. All in all, my belied is that Yosemait IS NOT COMPATIBLE with a MMR Mid 2010.

I have no "technical explanation" but all in all, it looks as if my wife´s
MBP (Mid. 2010 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2-core - 4 GB RAM) does not wish Yosemite welcome 😕
Yosemite runs smooth on my MBP (2,6 GHz Intel Core i5 - 8 GB Ram).
