Hi all, My MBP had been running very slow for a while - beachballs, apps taking forever to open etc. So i backed up, deleted the HD and formatted, reinstalled Yosemite (it was running slow on Mavericks also). I only put a few apps back on but its is still as slow as ever. Its a bog standard machine, no upgrades. Any help much appreciated
Do you have an external drive to boot up your system? If not you’ll need to create one. I think your disk has some bad sectors. Using your external drive run Disk utility and see what SMART services say. You may need to completely wipe down the drive and run the write ones & zeros test so your system can map out the bad sectors. It maybe time for a new drive ;-{ Let us know how it goes
