Q: Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.
Hi there,
Since I updated my macbook pro to Yosemite, it has become very slow. I even have to use firefox instead of safari become it makes it even slower, and apparently safari is supposed to be one of the best browsers (correct me if i'm wrong).
Anyways, I have downloaded Etrecheck, but I do not know what to understand from its analysis.
Thank you in advance.

Do you recommend any app like clean my mac i could use on a weeky basis to clean my mac regularly ?
NO: this is already part of the OS, daily, weekly, monthly !! any cleaning by external apps is counterproductive. And can be crippling even.
So I tried testing the speed of my laptop, and it appears when I try to open Word, Excel or Preview, it takes quite some time to load. Also, every time I open these applications, lots of documents open all at once in both Word, Excel and Preview.
This is very uncommon: when you click one app like Word it should not open any document. In the settings of those apps, set "save autorecovery" to off and in the File-menu->"Recent-Documents" click "clear list". In SystemPreferences->General set RecentItems to 0 or a small number (like 3).
Does that help?
