To run Yosemite efficiently, additional RAM would be helpful.  A model identifier 5.5 will accept up to 8 GB RAM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are Owc and Crucial.Rid your MBP of Intego AV.  It is unnecessary and may be a contributing cause to the slow operation of your MBP.  Check the developers web site for uninstall instructions.Ciao.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.   These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn&#x27;t, select          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messagesfrom the log list on the left. If you don&#x27;t see that list, select          View ▹ Show Log Listfrom the menu bar at the top of the screen.Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.Please don&#x27;t indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.Please don&#x27;t post screenshots of log messages—post the text.Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That&#x27;s a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Thanks, it seem s to run faster now after I got rid of adware and some apps, I also moved to Safari instead of Firefox, that seems to help too:)

thanks for your reply. Yo may be rigt about the ram, but I think I&#x27;d rather get a new computer before long.I got rid of the Intego but I am a bit worried since my bank says I need a virus program, but it seems to run better now without it, thanks:)

Thanks for your answer.I think what you describe is way too complicated for me to do. I think it will go wrong for me;)I did some of what other people suggested and it seems better now, but thanks anyway:)
