[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1611086, member: 190607"] Well, first, 4GB of RAM for an installation of Mavericks on a 2010 Macintosh really isn't enough. Your Mac would be quite a bit happier with 8GB. But...did this setup ever run well (i.e. with Mavericks and 4GB of RAM)? If it did, then your RAM situation is only a secondary concern. The first thing that I would do is uninstall any anti-virus software that you have installed (using the developer's uninstaller program, not just by drag and dropping the program into the trash). Then restart your Mac and see if things are better. If they aren't, then I would do all of the recommended routine maintenance suggested here: [url=http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html]OS X Maintenance And Troubleshooting[/url] It's very likely doing the above will fix things. But if it doesn't, we can investigate other, much less likely problems. [/QUOTE]
