AppleCare/Troubleshooting
  • "My MacBook Pro has been experiencing delays in videos and typing to screen when using Mail, TextEdit, Safari, Pages since upgrading to 10.8. These delays are often associated with the spinning beach ball like just happened. ...Everything stops at once. I have turn network communitication on and off. Yes, when your computer is SPODDing, it tends to bring everything to a halt, with rare exceptions (such as the newly-christened Faux SPOD). Assuming your hard drive is okay and wasn't pushed over the edge into failure by your operating system update (check it with SMART Utility), there may well be some left over cruft from a previous system that is interfering. Check the system log right after one of these happens, and see if there are any clues. Check your login items in Users&Groups in System Preferences for outdated files. I also like to check the root level Library for old stuff in Launch Agents, LaunchDaemons, StartupItems,and Internet Plug-ins.You might also use something like Onyx to clear your caches. What do you mean by turning off network communication? If it truly is network-related, then you might try clearing out some networking preferences in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration (be forewarned you will have to re-set up those preferences.)" MacInTouch 11:22 AM
