[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1585899, member: 131855"] There are ways to revert to an older OS but it's easiest to do if you have a backup. You can find more about that [URL="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389334,00.asp"]here[/URL] among other places. FWIW here are some thoughts on the other issues. 1. Right click (secondary click) is still present. There wis a drop down menu right below the word secondary click. Make sure that the string is the way you want it. The trackpad may be set to expect a click on the right or left side. 2.Try opening Activity Monitor and noticing whether there is a process using a lot of resources when the slowdown happens. 4. In Safari there is a small gear like circle at the right end of the address bar. Click there and you get a drop down menu similar to the old one. Safari>View Menu>Show Downloads. 6. If you still can't get right click to work with bookmark folders there is an alternative. Single click the folder and hold it down for a moment. You will see a white square like you are truing to rename it. At the end of the box is a small x. Click the x. 10. Those are smart searches and can easily be re-added if they are not there. [/QUOTE]
