OSX General Operation
Computer Running Slow
You also might have just had too many programs running at once. I know it is a fast computer, but even the fastest computers can get bogged down. Whenever slowness seems to exist, you can of course shut down the computer, but also you can close an application. You can tell if an application is open by looking in the dock (at the bottom) and seeing if there is a little glowing dot below it. If it is and you are not using it, and the computer is slow, you should close it. The easiest way to do this is by selecting it at the bottom and hitting the key combination “Command” + “Q” (Command is also the Apple button)
