When Yosemite first imposed itself on my MacBook, it slowed everything down. Now it takes a lot longer for the MacBook to even start up. Oh, and then there's that Photos app, which DOESN'T WORK! (I've spent the last hour or so just trying to get it to import photos from my camera).

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), null
Slow startup?
Select Macintosh HD as the Startup Disk.
“Set the default startup disk” http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18761?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Why should I have to screw around with the MacBook's internal settings? Did Yosemite change things when it imposed itself on me? Besides, the HD is the ONLY thing I have available to do the startup.
If I am not mistaken, your MBP originally came with Mavericks. Why don't you just revert to it and be done with Yosemite. Grousing about it will do no good.
Ciao.
Seriously? Asking why I don't revert back to an outdated operating system? Excuse me for expecting Apple to actually have its head on straight, unlike Microsoft. Excuse me for expecting Apple operating systems to actually work better.
I questioned dominic23's solution because I tend not to want to start playing around with a computer's internal settings (in case my doing so really screws things up). Part of his suggestion, selecting Macintosh HD as the startup disc, is unnecessary because Macintosh HD is the only thing I have on my MacBook that will start it up. (In other words, there's nothing else to select).
Dominic23 gave you a perfectly good answer. If you have not tried it, then that is your loss.
You are entitled to view Mavericks as an outdated OSX but just to let you know, I am using Lion an even older OSX and not experiencing any problems.
Since at this juncture all you have to offer is a rant and not any technical question, I bid you a good day.
Ciao.
