Nikki Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hi Brian - I updated to Mojave, and ever since my Mac is really slow, like painfully slow arrghhh! PS CC is a nightmare! Any suggestions I what I can do to get it back up to speed please? Nikki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 How old is your Mac? What specs does it have? RAM, HD capacity, etc. I think Apple has stopped authorizing old Operating Systems, so you are kinda stuck with it and can’t go back to Sierra / High Sierra or Yosemite I have noticed with my 2009 iMac, that it’s very sluggish with High Sierra, though that computer is being retired. I’m about to format it and redo everything hoping to get some performance back; though I’m not 100% sure if it will work. That said, a complete format and re-install has been successful for me in the past. I have a feeling this procedure will be in your future too. So lets start with the specs and age.

Brian Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 You have 8GB of RAM! That's one thing that isn't helping things. I'd purchase a RAM 16GB kit (two 8GB sticks) to take you from 8GB to 24GB. How for the Internal HD. How much is your total capacity? How much is free? Same thing goes for your externals. Are they really full? If so, I'd unhook them from your Mac and see if the performance improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
