A slow iMac running 10.6.8 - potential hardware trouble

Two weeks ago, my computer was operating perfectly well (especially considering how I had been totally ignorant of even the most basic of maintenence procedures). I rarely have a vast number of applications running (five or six at the most - not enough to trouble 4GB of memory), the hard drive has about 400GB free out of 1TB, and I turn it off at the end of every day, so it had never really had any slow-down at all.
   Then I turned it on one morning earlier this month, and it took about an hour to reach the desktop; every application I tried to run was greatly reduced in speed, and most spent several minutes showing the SBBOD or stating "Application Not Responding"  on the Dock. The iMac is currently still functioning, albeit at a much reduced rate. I've tried to repair disk permissions through the Disk Utility app, but these too have a habit of crashing; I downloaded Onyx which seemed to succeed in some basic clean-up functions, but to no avail.
   I'll admit that I'm in way over my head here, so apologies if I seem ridiculously ignorant or foolish: my first thought was that it might be a virus, so I activated my long-dormant Windows partition via Boot Camp, which seemed to be affected even worse than the OS X section. I assumed that viruses only affect software, so that seemed to discount that possibility. I then ran four Apple Hardware Tests (three off the computer's own power, one off the Application Install disc), and each time the bar got to about 95% full and then froze. I left if for hours until I was convinced it had actually failed to finish the test: the mouse cursor was lagging and the screen had frozen, so I couldn't even press the "Stop Testing" button. Since it never actually finished the test, I never got an error code, which would have been useful; nevertheless, I am pretty much resolved to go to a local computer store in town and ask if he can check it over for me. If possible, however, I'd like to have at least some idea of what might be wrong, rather than just dropping the iMac on the counter and leaving him to figure it out from scratch.
   Does anybody have any suggestions for what might have caused so sudden a decline? A housemate of mine said it might be something wrong with the power transformer, so that the RAM simply isn't getting the energy it needs to run properly, and he's fairly knowledgeable about computers and electronics - does that sound possible to anybody else? Are there any other steps I have missed that might help before I go and fork out some cash?
   Thanks for reading,
Tom

Run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, do this a MINIMUM of 2X probably 3X. If you get error codes please post but if you do the next stop is the local Apple Store or AASP. If you have not backed up first BACKUP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Very slow iMac running OS X Mavericks, etrecheck

    Please help!  I went into Disk Utilities and ran the Repair Disk  and got the message "The volume MacIntosh HD appears to be O.K."   I downloaded Etrecheck and am attaching report.  I can see I need to update Flash Player, but I need other suggestions with detailed instructions, if possible.  Thanks

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • I have an iMac running snow leopard. I have trouble with my internal speakers, I cannot adjust the volume without having an earphone plugged into the jack.

    The volume only works when I have earphones plugged into the jack, otherwise when I try to adjust the volume it has a circle with a cross. Ive tried restarting it with and without the headphones plugged in. However it does make that mac sound when turning on the machine before the apple logo comes on and takes me to the desktop screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

    I'm having a very similar problem.
    I've got a 2010 iMac that I've got hooked up to my Pioneer Elite via HDMI cable using the Moshi adapter.
    It's been working great for months, but today the audio began dropping out -- a fraction of a second, every six seconds or so.
    I installed the latest Snow Leopard update today. Does anyone think there might be a connection?
    thx!

  • Slow Finder on iMac running OS 10.8.5

    Hey Apple gurus!
    I have a problem with my iMac running OS 10.8.5. It started from nowhere. All the software is running absolutely fine but as soon as I get to a finder and trying to open a folder and/or move between files in a folder within the finder or click a preview, a movie or a photo, it takes 10-15 seconds for a computer to "wake up". It just spinning until it finally catches is up and eventually it does what I want. Than I can browse in the finder between files with no problem until I pause for few minutes and when I am trying to navigate through folders again the same "wake up" problem. Its very annoying and really slows me down. I went through Apple utilities few times, I thought maybe its going to fix the problem, but it made no difference. I thought maybe its my USB devices and disconnected them all but still the same problem. Any suggestions how to fix it.
    Thanks.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why is my iMac running so slow?

    I noticed in the past few months my iMac 27' mid 2011 was running slow.
    A lot of times when I click a link or something another window will open up and it will be some sort of junk website. Occasionaly there is this "WebCake" bar that pulls up on the side.
    Overall my Mac has been running pretty slow and I do not understand why. I still have 789GB left of free space and it is running Mac OS X Lion 1.7.5, 4 GB memory and everything.
    Everything is up to date but it still doesn't run as smoothly and quickly as it did when I first got it.
    Please don't link me to anything without expaning what it is
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hello Linc, care to have a looksee at my incredibly slow iMac?  Any help greatly appreciated.

  • IMac running slow (Etrecheck in post)

    Problem description:
    iMac running slow, Finder becomes unresponsive. Over the last 5 years I think I've installed and removed so many programs that I've left OSX a mess. I know enough about computers to confidently make mistakes. The memory and cpu are not maxed out in Activity Monitor, yet I'm getting beach balled.

  • Imac runs slow  beach ball all the time, imac runs slow  beach ball all the time

    can any one help imac runs very slow and every click the beach ball is at hand  is this thing going to crash

    Hi DylanLauren,
    From your post I see that your Mac is running slower than it should be.  There are several things that may attribute to this slowness, of which you can find troubleshooting in the article linked to below.
    OS X Lion: If your Mac runs slowly
    Take care,

  • Imac runs slow

    My imac runs slow and constantly has the pinwheel up "thinking".   It is only 7 months old and I dont use it for much.  (pics Internet word email)  Any ideas?

    Try this this helped with me resolving the pinwheel problem:
    Run First Aid in Mountain Lion's Disk Utility.
    Went to Applications
    Went to disc utility
    Clicked on Hard Drive on left side of window
    Clicked on Repair Disc Button
    Ran for approximately 14 minutes,
    While it was running noticed on one of the windows, "repairing, resolved"
    And now tried copied and pasting from a website I had copied from in the past to see if that was a problem.
    No pinwheel this time.

  • Imac running slow after installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    I purchased Mountain Lion OSX v.10.8.2 to access icloud. Since installing imac running slow, especially connecting to web sites.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
    Note: I will respond ONLY to the original poster.

  • My iMac runs slow-how do I clean it up

    my iMac runs slow-how do I clean it up

    First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
    Step 1
    This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    Step 2
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
    Step 3
    When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
    Step 4
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

    I have an iMac, running x10.5.  My email is very slow, even opening a previously downloaded message.  The computer is otherwise fast.  What gives?

    Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
    Scroll to Mail folder.
    Select the V2 > MailData folder.
    Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
    When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
    If you have IMAP accounts, you might want to delete the accounts then add back so they download all messages from the server again.

    iMac running slow

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.
