[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1358101, member: 46727"] You didn't tell us how much system memory your MacBook has or how full your hard drive is. Both can impact on the speed of the machine. Here are some suggestions: Download the free maintenance and cleaning utility "[URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx"]OnyX[/URL]". Forget about MacCleanser, it's not effective and can actually do damage to your system. Read the instructions for OnyX and set it to run in automatic mode. Next suggestion: Try resetting the [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964"]System Management Controller[/URL] as that controls power settings including sleep and wake. As I stated above, memory and hard drive space are important. A full or nearly full hard drive will slow everything down. And... don't forget to make backups. [/QUOTE]
