I suppose the easy thing is to go back to 10.9, but.
So, I know it isn't the ssd, and I've swapped out the ram, so it narrows it down to OS alone, or OS/hardware combination, the hardware being absolutely fine for mavericks.Īfter a period of time the computer becomes very slow again too, with apps needing many times longer than normal to launch. Same drive gives same problems in my 2011 13", and it doesn't matter if it's an ssd or standard hd, still slow as ****. It seems from reading that it's often the 2011 models this happens to. I put mavericks on a partition, and no problem there, 15 sec boot on a full, set system (currently putting a fresh install on too). Your Mac will need to restart after the download has been installed, so make sure you save your progress for any program you are currently working in. Click Update Now next to the macOS update. Select System Preferences from the drop-down menu. I have this same issue in 13.x clean install, 12.6 system, and of course the 13.6 current os. Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of your Macs screen. Did you come across any other info that indicated the cause of the kernel task usage, or what the os was calling on to require the plist? I also had the long boot times - still 4+ mins - but putting the plist back didn't cure it. I have the 17, and ran into the same problem you did, with the high kernel usage, so removed (for my comp) the 8_3 plist. To sleep and closing my work that's in progress?Īny help on this issue would be appreciated.Is all still well with your macbook? I'm guessing from the 8_2 file, you had the 15".
