Hi there everyone. I'm not sure if this is actually true, but I just installed rekordbox on my MacBook Pro yesterday and went through and analyzed approximately 4,500+ MP3s. That process took literally all day. After that was done I restarted my Mac and have found that ever since I installed rekordbox my Mac has been EXTREMELY slow compared to just 24 hours prior.
Some things I'm noticing are:
- Bootup of the MBP takes around 40-50 seconds (used to take half that).
- I'll click on Safari to open it (for example) and that takes a few seconds longer.
- I'll click on a menu within Safari (History for example) and it takes 3 seconds just to show the menu (and I reset Safari yesterday so there should be no History to show).
Is this a documented thing? Are they two even related (my computer slowing down after installing rekordbox and restarting)? I didn't change anything else in my computer so that's the only thing I've been able to link to the slowdown.
Thanks for reading. Would love to hear about other people's experiences.
ooh i wouldn't know, try reinstallng and see if that helps

Try repairing disk permissions, and do it on all your disks. And don't forget to run system update as well - there could be some patches needed to optimise the system.

What about re-installing Rekorbox on an external hard drive. One thing I've noticed especially with large software, if I install onto the internal it seems to slow down the processor. Once on an external the speed seems to come back.

Are you referring to the Mac repair disk? That is odd, especially with no permission. Unless your Mac isn't reconizing certain programs as genuine software. Ran into this a couple of times.

i did repair permissions in disk utility.
i've never had a problem with non-genuine software (i buy all my software). how would i know if my system thinks it's non-genuine and is having a problem with it?
I know it's a pain in the ass but I'd copy my music over and any other files i wanted to save and start fresh.
Nice way to get everything running as fast as possible again.
From what i can remember you let Itunes take care of your music collection anyway don't you? Do backing up music and restoring wont be that much hassle.
Just saves trying to find out what/why stuff's slowing down.
