    Absurdly slow late 15 iMac

    Hey all, I've got two machines right now. My personal iMac that I also use for work, and a work issued 13" MBP. My iMac was purchased in fall 2016 so it's not old really at all. I've found that the iMac is absolutely crazy slow. I'm a software engineer, but develop for the web so my tools and...

    Freezing Issues with macOS 10.12.3

    I am currently in contact with Apple concerning this and as of this present time, they are being helpful, but it is clear to me that they are as yet unwilling to admit there is a problem. It appears to have all the signs of a memory leak. The imac will freeze at any given point with no warning...

    2015 13' rMBP sluggish, Facebook unusable on any browser

    I've had the 13 inch 2.9ghz rMBP from early 2015 for a while, it's become quite slow to the point where Facebook is just unusable on any browser. Cycle count is only around 120, anything I can do to speed this up a bit? Also gets very warm frequently. Thanks.

    Laggy Late 2013 Mac Pro

Safari 10.0.1 on my late 2012 i5 24g RAM El Capitan is blazing fast in the morning but speed steadily decreases during the day to being very slow in the evening.

    I have a 2009 Macbook with 4 Gb of RAM, which I mostly use as a desktop with an extra keyboard and larger screen. It originally ran with Snow Leopard but I have upgraded, first to Mountain Lion and now El Capitan. The reason for each upgrade was that web browsing became impossible - Flash...

    iMac is normally fast, but apps open VERY slowly

    My iMac is form late 2013, but it has behaved quite strangely for most of its lifespan. It runs fine most of the time but anytime an app is opening, it takes between 2-5 minutes to do so. During this time, I can operate most open apps without any trouble. However, it has a number of side...

    Disable YouTube 60 FPS (Force 30 FPS): Save battery and reduce YouTube CPU usage by 2-4x!

    This was inspired by the fact that my MacBook Pro 2010 uses over 100% CPU and starts lagging when trying to play 1080p60 videos on YouTube. Safari slows down, the video freezes, the audio glitches and the browser feels like it is going to crash, all while the "VTDecoderXPCService" process uses...

    Safari is slower

    Ever since I updated to 10.11.6 (I believe that is the current version), websites that used to run smoothly end up freezing and I have to close the tab or if I can't, manually kill the process in Activity Monitor. Needless to say, ever since I updated to Yosemite, I noticed my machine takes 5-10...
