Macbook Pro 13 inch early 2011 running slow

Hi, I've had my Macbook Pro (13", early 2011) for about three years now and it has been very well behaved up until now. It has 4GB of ram and is the basic model of its kind. I recently upgraded the operating system to Mavericks but I noticed it was being slow even before the upgrade. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive through time machine so data loss isn't a worry.

I have noticed that opening applications such as Mail, Word, Google Chrome, iCal, Spotify and iPhoto have become increasingly slow and browsing the internet (youtube, tumblr, etc) is similarly slow with content and sound lagging. I wonder if I should buy and install more ram? Or is it a problem with the hard drive? On average how long would a macbook pro of this age last?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

          View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Hello,

I did have the exact problem as well and I tried a lot of solutions with no result.

In the end the solution was very simple: a reset of the SMC.

This is Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC). This is sometimes necessary to restore normal lower level system functionality to your Mac.

In this article the background is given and for each type of mac is described how to do it:

The speed increase of my mac is incredible.

I hope this helps other people also!

Kind regards,

Marcel

I have the same MacBook Pro model, the base one. I was having the same issue even installing more Ram(8GB instead of 4). Solution, I've change the HDD(320gb base model) to a new one with 500gb and It is running everything fast again. Better if you can get an SDD hard drive. Hope this could help you. I've never tried an SMC reset on my Mac.

Tagging onto a thread that is three years old seldom proves useful to you here.
