macbook pro suddenly impossibly slow
Hello
I understand that this question has been asked on many occasions but i believe i have almost exhausted my ideas.
2 days ago my macbook pro 13” was suddenly very slow and unresponsive with no significant changes on my part. i literally have no idea what could have caused this. The problem is random but definitely there. For example at times an action as simple as right clicking would bring me the spinning wheel for a good 30 seconds before everything jumps. and applications could take over 2 mins to open. Also, it would be impossible to listen to music or watch videos, the songs on iTunes would just periodically stop every 5 or so seconds then play then stop again.
I play league of legends which is a game which usually only uses a maximum of 250mb of ram. I have played this game on my macbook for almost a year and suddenly it takes forever to run. I could literally sit for 10 minutes for it to even start. and Lastly something small but could be helpful information, my wireless mouse also stops responding when these unresponsive moments happen while the touchpad works.
My attempts to find the source of the problem or fix it are as follows:
Tried to scan and clean Mac using clean my mac 2
Tried clearing my desktop. Currently just 1 item on it
Ensured i have enough free space on hard drive. only roughly 150gbs of 500 used
Attempted SMC reset
Updated OS to Yosemite
Ran AHT (no errors)
Disk Utility (no errors)
Honestly i have tried everything. Heck i even UPDATED MY OS, and the problem carried itself right through. It is honestly insane how it can have small bursts of performance for maybe a minute where i can browse the internet like a normal person then back to **** where pages go blank. You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to make this post. Honestly if someone has a solution i would really appreciate it because i am a university student and am doubting i could easily pay apple’s steep prices.
