[QUOTE="atasehir, post: 1547525, member: 314184"] I have a mid-2010 15” Macbook Pro that is running very slow. I always get the spinning beachball when I open applications. Here is what I’ve got: 500GB hard drive 255GB free 2.66 GHz i7 processor 4GB 1067 GHz RAM OS X Mavericks Here’s what I’ve done: Rebooted...lots. Run the disk utility – verified disk permissions, repaired disk permissions, verify disk, repair disk. Results said the volume recovery HD appears to be Ok and the partition map appears to be ok. When I open the activity monitor for CPU I get numbers in the 85-95% range for idle. What I’m concerned about is the memory numbers – memory used is in the 3.75GB - 3.98GB range. Physical memory says 4.00GB. Among other things there is a “kernel task” with 379.5MB whatever that means. Does this mean the computer is running slow because the RAM is ‘used up’? How do I fix this? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
