How to speed up my MBP incredibly slow

MBP Late 11, 4gigs ram, 250 GB free on the hard drive.  Recently, it has been slow at the point of being unusable.

Internet use has become if slow I was just using my phone for most things, (I HATE to use phones).  YouTube passes like a minute just to play a video.  Simply scroll a page is on a 5-10 second delay.

Can I use is no longer my music composing/recording of the programs at all. Sessions created on the MBP now play back slow and jerky.  It's particularly frustrating for me due to the fact that it is the main reason I bought it.

I know I could get more ram, or other improvements of equipment, but the $ isn't here and I just want to run around like he did with the same characteristics.

The only thing that may or may not be a clue (I know at least that it is some kind of issue) is when I restart or stop a window appears asking you if I want to continue the installation of some programs, I can't understand.

Virus, perhaps?  Malware?

in any way, any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, or this thing must soon become a $1500 table stabilizer.

Thanks in advance.

Reset the SMC could solve the problem.

  • Firefox works incredibly slow (as in the window is barely functional, not anything related to connection speed) when I run some games on my computer.

    Hello

    Last month, I got a strange problem with my Firefox browser in certain situations. The question is only apparent when executing some 3D games (most often when I run Diablo III). Each time these games is loaded my Firefox browser works incredibly slow. This isn't a question of a connection problem or such, the loading speed is very good, but the actual clicks, bookmark clicks, entered keyboard etc take a few seconds to register.

    I tried Firefox running in failsafe mode which immediately makes the problem disappears. However, whenever I run it in normal mode the problem will be even if I disable all plugin and simple addon. I also tried to reinstall firefox and my addons and flash player times, the problem remains.

    For what it's worth, another browser, I installed is not the problem at all (despite the same some addons installed - I only have 3 of them).

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem? Is the failsafe mode inactivate the other thing the addons and plugins listed in the addon section?

    Thanks in advance

  • Computer pavilion laptop i7 incredibly slow

    Hi, I have a hp pavilion 2321ss g6 with a processor intel core i7. I had for about 2 years. It had not occurred to me to use this forum til now.

    Initially, he had run on win8, but he was almost inoperative (very slow) and I have upgraded to windows 10.

    As I installed the new computer system was incredibly slow and lazy. Opening a program, for example a browser may take more than a minute, making it unusable. Old computers are faster. I think all the updates on the system are made.

    Startup time is 300 seconds, and after that start it does not work well, on the contrary, it takes time to "warm up".

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    Hi shilpadarbar,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. From your problem description, I understand that the internet connection is slow. Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the required information:

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow these methods to the problem of slow internet connectivity.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    (a) click Start, run.

    (b) type msconfigand click OK.

    (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

    Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

  • Development in C/C++ is make incredibly slow PC

    Hello

    I'm having a hard life because of development of Applications C/C++ on Windows 7 64 bit. A month ago I tried working with my projects using OpenCV C/C++ with the Code::Blocks IDE libraries on my PC. I have added all the necessary libraries, headers, binary, etc. to my property sheet for the project (NOT IN VS, to Code::Blocks). After creating and running my application to test a few times. I get these questions:
    (1) exploring is incredibly slow: takes about 20 to 25 seconds to open a window
    (2) same thing happens with applications like the browser, Control Panel, System properties, etc.
    (3) the volume icon in taskbar comes almost 20 seconds after clicking.
    This is outrageous, I even installed on a Windows XP machine and it works like a magic. I turned the world-wide web inside to outside but no one is quite logical to give me a clear answer. I even spent the IDE to Visual C++ Express 2010 and rebuilt all my OpenCV libraries to adhere to Visual C++ 2010. However, nothing changes and even a simple C++ programming involving floating and whole number computation is now slow PC after a few generations and run. How is what is happening?
    I'm considers MSDN as my last stop before concluding that my PC is rubbish. I have an i5, cache L3, 8 GB of RAM and 500 GB HDD (80% free). Everything you say, please please please please do not say that my machine is underspec. because still more professionally experienced developers use lower the standard machines.

  • Incredibly slow to boot from Mavericks Dreamweaver

    Hello

    Since the update to the Mavericks (10.9.0 13A Build 603), Dreamweaver CC (13.1 Build 6443) has become incredibly slow to start.

    When I look at the newspaper, there is this line:

    23/10/2013 17:47:52.426 Dreamweaver [3276]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "Proxima Nova Semibold" and got fonts with PostScript "ProximaNova-Semibold" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    Repeat with each font that I installed on my system. for example:

    23/10/2013 18:49:07.538 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name 'Libyan SC' ordinary and got fonts with PostScript 'STLibian-SC-Regular' name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    23/10/2013 18:49:07.574 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "PT Serif Caption" and got fonts with PostScript "PTSerif-Caption" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    23/10/2013 18:49:07.576 Dreamweaver [3629]: note on CoreText performance: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using the name "Helvetica Neue Medium Italic" and got fonts with PostScript "HelveticaNeue-MediumItalic" name For optimal performance, use only PostScript names when calling this API.

    After that he went through all the fonts on my system finally, Dreamweaver will then start.  Has anyone another considering somewhere else or have a fix?

    Thank you

    Hello dean_siteglide,

    We already have a bug connected to investigate performance related messages in the console for Dreamweaver.

    We could not reproduce the problem of slowness. Launch of Dreamweaver works without any performance degrade compared to the 10.8 same with these messages in the console.  Can you please provide more information on how long it takes to load Dreamweaver and what hardware you are running 10.9 in.

    Kind regards

  • Why Muse runs incredibly slow?

    Muse is incredibly slow... I'm working on a very simple site... the file is only 9.3 MB. No idea why it runs so slow? I use a trial version of Muse because I want to see how it behaves and if she could be a good purchase for me, but if it runs it slow I don't know if I want to buy it...

    Specifications of the computer:

    16 GB of ram

    CPU AMD Phenom II X 6 1090 t. (3.20 GHz)

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    I'm not really a player... I does not play well some Starcraft. One of my friends helped me to build myself a computer.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I checked for malware. There were about a quarter of an inch of dust on the heatsink that was on my processor so after I removed which helped A LOT. The Muse is still wobbly, so I just rebuilt from zero and no problems so far. He must have gotten corrupted somehow.

  • Mac incredibly slow after update of El Capitan

    Hello world

    I own a Macbook that I bought in 2013.

    Data sheet:

    13 "medio 2012

    Processor: 2.5 Ghz Intel core i5

    Memory: 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

    Four days ago, that I've updated my system to El Capitan v10.11.6. At first, he seemed to be well-developed, but after about 12 hours, it started to become really slow - and I don't speak incredibly slow. Almost all of the clicks or typing a letter takes forever.

    I downloaded a free version of CleanMyMac, and it shows that I have to constantly only between 50 and 300 MB of RAM free. I also read that you should let Spotlight indexes all yout files, but it maintains at the end and starting over.

    I have about 90 of my 499 GB hard drive on the left.

    Any ideas or solutions?
