Hello,

I have a macbook pro that is 2-3 years old and recently I have started getting the spinning beach ball of death constantly. Sometimes it will work fine but a lot of time I can barely do anything at all on it. It just glitches up. After maybe 5 minutes of just letting it sit there it will be back to normal but then maybe 10 minutes later it will lagg up again.

I suspect that the problem may have to do with a startup program or maybe I didn't correctly uninstall a program from my computer. How would I check?

Any ideas on what could be causing my computer to slow down so drastically?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ljbaumer

Please read the "Beachballs" link in my signature. Maybe some of that info will help.
