I have recently updated the operating system to OS X Yosemite and now my laptop is running very very slow..
I am not sure what to do, even as I am writing this `post it's taking its time for the letters to appear on the screen.
Most frustrating when I am trying to browse the internet, everything is much slower than before.
Can anyone help with this problem???
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
If you are using Safari ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
if that doesn't help, follow the instructions here > If Safari is slow, stops responding, quits unexpectedly, or has other issues
Thank you for this it has helped me right now, things seem to be a little quicker now.. thank you very much for your help..
How much RAM do you have? I have seen many folks say that the 'minimum' amount stated regarding Yosemite will barely run the OS, adding any open Apps will cause 'swapping' of RAM and utilize Virtual Memory (both are slowing)
