My mac becoming slow

Hello guys,


I have a macbook retina Mid 2012 and is becoming slow when I open and close it.

How can I make it faster us it was? I don't play games or use heavy programs! I am using it for professional reasons.


When I bought it I create a user with my name and every time I have to write the password and then to wait for loading or to click as a guest!

How can I delete the guest user and also to have my user without a password? So, I will not have to wait every time I open my mac!


Thank you in advance🙂

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 8.2

Two thinks stand out:

One is that you have CleanMyMac installed. I would uninstall it. It is unnecessary and slows your Mac

Re: CleanMyMAc Removal


This

32% Adobe Reader and Acrobat Updater

is using a lot of CPU. Try manually updating Adobe Reader. Next try booting to Safe mode and then to normal mode

OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

and then normal mode.

Last try reinstall Adobe Reader
