Activity Monitor - Red Listing

Hello,
I was wondering how my MBP was running, so I took a look at the activity monitor. As many of you - I freak out if I see anything in "RED".
I have one red line on the activity monitor which says: UserEventAgent (not responding). It is taking about 2.21 MB's in real memory.
WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? How do I get rid of it ASAP?
Thanks in advance...

Select it then Force Quit

    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. In addition to the files listed in the support article, you may also have to remove the following in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.ltvbit.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.update.plist
    ~/Library/Application Support/IM.Installer/Completer.app
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
    After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Red Spikes! Safari, Activity monitor, finder running. Halp.

    This has never happened before. I used to get green spikes when I'd try to open programs that needed more memory than I had available but now I have red spikes every few seconds and only Safari is open (and activity monitor). OK really weird but Safari just disappeared from processes list. ***? I'm getting hanging, not able to boot without startup disk, slow, slow slow. I have 6.5GB available but system acts bogged down. Have verified and found no issues. Was worse with firefox though RAM usage was less.  I don't know what's up as I'm obviously using Safari. Now the spikes have gaps between them. Anyone know what's going on?  2 Screenshots of process lists and those durn red spikes below.
    I just got an external drive so I could backup just in case system hangs for good. Trying to find out what time machine is because i don't have it on my mac and afraid to put anything else on this thing. It says I have 6GB of diskspace left but acts like it's about to blow up.
    Now something even wierder is happening. I turned off the external drive even though it isn't setup to backup or anything like that yet. The green/read line was way at the top with no red in sight and now it's back to red spikes like photo above.
    Anyone know what to do? I want to switch back to firefox because it showed it was using less RAM but performance was worse.

    not able to boot without startup disk, slow, slow slow. I have 6.5GB available but system acts bogged down.
    You need at a minimum 15% free disk space.
    "not able to boot without startup disk?
    I'm not sure what you mean by that but it's clear you need to free up disk space.

  • Application Sudo listed in Activity Monitor - Is this a default app that should be running?

    First Question:        Do other MBP users have an application Sudo listed in Activity Monitor from start up of their mac or with typical use?
    Second Question:   If you have Sudo process listed in your Activity Monitor, do you also use an Huawei USB wireless modem?
    Third Question:       For those experienced in relevant coding domains and given the more technical details below - your thoughts?
    (Technical)
    Using MBP Retina, mid 2012, OSX 10.8.4
    I understand sudo is a unix root level access command. 
    I have used Terminal and become familiar with some basic unix commands, including using the sudo command in very limited single action command circumstances.  I have not used Terminal for many weeks, and the sudo command probably twice several months ago. 
    Sudo showing in Activity Monitor as an active process is to my understanding an entirely different situation to it being used in Terminal.  It appears the sudo process is being activated by some other application or process not of my direct use or actions.
    I remain a little concerned about this in view of the purchase of this particular MBP. It has a story to it. I was told this MBP was available as new on discount as it had been purchased by a man for his wife, the wife then left him, and subsequently he returned it unused to the store.   I was aware that there was a slim risk the laptop had been used for some other activities, and returned so any come back comes back to the new owner.
    I noted later with use that the MBP lower keys were sticky as if something has been spilt on them, so I do wonder if the laptop was previously used, then wiped, in which case the story presented to the retailer is likely not true and a more concerning scenario becomes possible.  
    All the same, I felt a clean install should remove any risk.  The MBP arrived in standard ready to set up and go mode, so OS loaded but no activation.  So it seemed a clean install to me.   I did not wipe the HD and do a fresh OS install from scratch. A decision I now regret.
    Some months after using this new MBP, my concerns were raised when I had one day of inexplicable internet usage on a wireless internet connection.  Not only did the level of data upload and data load, about 4 GB out of 20 GB for the month not make sense with actual usage, but also the MBP system logs did not tally with the internet providers accounting of usage on that day.  There have been two or three other anomalies in usage since.  The internet service provider reimbursed me on my evidence of OSX system logs.  Not sure if the service provider has people joy riding other users accounts or something suss this end was going on. Never resolved. The ISP was not exactly forthcoming, and I had to press hard to get some collaboration on resolve the anomaly of unexplained data usage.
    On the less suspicious side, the existence of this sudo program tracked down as in part coming from the install software from a Huawei modem provided by my internet provider.  However, while widely used and therefore likely not a security risk, I still feel need for some better explanation and resolution of the persistent sudo process. 
    I have  inquired to Apple Support about this sudo app running, and it apparently was not seen as an issue of concern by the front line support staff.  I took up some further concerns with them but checks indicate no issues of concern with the MBP from their assessment. I trusted that as fairly likely a definitive view, and so left the questions and anomalies as unexplained but harmless. 
    It is now several months later and I still find the existence of sudo as a running application or process in Activity Monitor troubling, and decided to try and resolve once again how typical and for what reason it is active on my MBP. Which brings us to this post.
    I have again spent a few hours searching on Google and Apple Support Forums.   All search results I find relate to the use of sudo as a unix command in Terminal to resolve a problem.  I can not find any indication of sudo as an app being open routinely in Activity Monitor with or without Terminal being opened or used.
    The only way I can think of to resolve if this is unusal or not is to get on this forum and ask the first two questions at the top of this post.
    More technical details follow.
    For some more technically minded the details may be of interest, hence below here I have added  details for further comment.   I am hoping some MBP users on this forum may also be coders, and hence have some idea of the internal mac coding environment. Enough to shed some light on this situation. 
    As mentioned, I think the sudo Activity Monitor may originate from the running of the Internet Providers USB Wireless Modem and software (Huawei E 169? modem).  The USB modem has the install software on it.  You install that software on your HD as an application. 
    On this USB Wireless Modem front I have done some checking.  
    Killing sudo in Activity Monitor does not stop an internet connection mid session. 
    When the USB modem is removed, the sudo process remains running and listed in Activity Monitor. 
    If I remove the Modem icon, unplug modem, close all apps, restart without the modem connected, the sudo process is still loaded and running in Activity Monitor.
    Months ago on a previous check if I deleted (uninstalled) the modem software, removed associated start up files installed by the modem installation, took out the USB Modem and did a restart, there was no return of the sudo process in Activity Monitor.  When the modem software was reinstalled or the start up files restored directly, the sudo process returns to Activity Monitor.  One of the software bits installed in start up files calls sudo (or so it appears having a peak in BBedit at the files.)
    This seems to fairly much establish the source of the sudo application. However it does not resolve why it needs to be open all the time, and if this is unique to this modem, my modem,  modems in general, or if permanent running sudo processes are fairly 'normal' in general.  Since sudo is a root level access process, I do feel a little concerned of the situation.   Let's say the sudo process is needed to initiate the modem under some justification.  Does the sudo process in remaining running permanently from there on, with or without the USB modem connected leave an open access way and vulnerability that can or is used later?   i do not know enough of the coding level architecture to form a view.   Still, seeing a permanent sudo process operating does niggle by sense of suspicion.    Hence, I continue to raise this issue and ask the questions I do.
    In Activity Monitor:
    sudo as a process when running is not very active.  
    Real Mem 8 KB, Virtual Mem 9.4 MB, Sent Msgs 75, Rcved Mesgs 26, Ports 25, Intel (64 bit).
    The sudo process:
    Using Sample Process in Activity Monitor:   sudo appears to be a running of the actual sudo command from within the unix command files.
    Path:            /usr/bin/sudo  (Master Library, not the one in the User files)
    Load Address:    (removed)
    Identifier:      sudo
    Version:         ??? (???)
    Code Type:       X86-64 (Native)
    Parent Process:  launchd [1]
    Call graph
    2nd line is 2656  start  (in libdyld.dylib) + 1  [(removed)]
    Binary Images:
    Includes reference to lots of .dylib files. eg libcache.dylib, libquarantine.dylib, libremovefile.dylib, libcompiler_rt.dylib, libcorecrypto.dylib
    The parent process is launchd[1]
    Process:         launchd [1]
    Path:            /sbin/launchd
    Load Address:    (removed)
    Identifier:      launchd
    Version:         ??? (???)
    Code Type:       X86-64 (Native)
    Parent Process:  ??? [Unknown]
    It seems all of the activity of launchd[1] is from the sudo process.
    Again reference to .dylib files as captured in call graph and Binary images.
    I hope the details are valued by someone with an interest to assist with resolving concerns.

    Thanks,
    I usually use the OS connection option. So as you suggest, connect without the ISP connection software.  Doing so does not by-pass the sudo command being active in Activity Monitor however. 
    On reading my post I see my failure to link the concerns of the laptop purchase with the sudo and modem. My thought here is of an intersection of known vulnerability with this widely used modem/software (via permanent sudo process activated) and that vulnerability then being known and utilised by another party(s).
    I am pursuing the issue in part with consideration to a broader possible issue of vulnerability.
    Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. Valued.

  • Activity Monitor shows no apps in list

    When I fired up Activity Monitor today, there are no apps listed in the Application window.
    Clearly I am missing something but I've been using AM since 10.0. I am showing All Processes but no matter which tab I click at the bottom of the window, I do not see any applications.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Since there's no applications window, just processes, exactly what are you not seeing?? Additionally, there's nothing dealing with applications when selecting any of the five bottom tabs. What are you expecting??

  • Activity Monitor not working correctly / not listing processes

    When I open Activity Monitor, it does not display a list of processes. The CPU usage works in the bottom of the window as does the disk usage. None of the other graphs display any graphing/data.
    I have rebooted, relaunched AM and I selected "all processes" but it still doesn't show processes.
    I used the terminal command "top" and can see processes in the terminal window.
    thanks for any assistance,
    Harold
    imac 2.8 dual core/24"/2gb/os10.5.5

    Thanks for the quick reply. I couldn't find the activity monitor preferences file you specified, in the Preferences directory. Here's what I've done: I rebooted from an older backup image on my external drive that I made using superduper. The activity monitor app worked from this disk image. I copied the AM app into my current drive, where it showed as a copy.
    I rebooted, and attempted to use this copy. It wouldn't let me due to file permissions problems of some sort. I opened the current version of AM and now it works.
    I'm not sure what fixed the problem, but Activity Monitory now seems to be working OK.
    thanks,
    Harold

  • Random Problem: Mail Process 140% in Activity Monitor/1 IMAP Account

    Hello,
    A friend of mine is having some problems with his Mail Account. As stated in the title, the Mail process uses 140% of the CPU as shown in Activity Monitor, but it's a random error, it doesn't happen all the time. I believe he restarts the application to make it go away, as it slows down his computer, and the fan starts making a lot of noise.
    He has:
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    Mail 6.5 (1508)/No plugin
    1 IMAP account
    A few thousand emails between the inbox, sent and a few folders
    There isn't any problem with the mail server.
    I've checked his account parameters, they seem fine.
    He can send/receive emails (He told me so, and I've checked by sending a mail from his account to his account).

    all end up with a red "stop sign" at the end.
    He seems to have the latest version of Mail, so we can't update it, and he doesn't want to properly uninstall/reinstall the Mail program.
    Please, if you have any idea on what we could do.
    Thank you for your help.

    Step 1
    Take this step only if you have more than one incoming mail account, and only some of them are affected by the problem.
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    From the account list on the left, choose one of the accounts that is not giving trouble. Select the Account Informationtab if not already selected, and then uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Repeat with each of the other well-behaved accounts. Don't disable the problem accounts.
    Step 2
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
    Step 3
    If you took Step 1, re-enable the disabled accounts.

  • Under Activity Monitor, what is rapportd?

    My MacBook Pro was being slow so I had a look under Activity Monitor to see what was going on.
    Firefox had hogging lots of RAM even when I'd quit the program! (It wasn't in the 'force quit' list either). Anyway this is a separate matter, and a simple restart of my computer seems to have sorted it.
    However, before restarting, I noticed "rapportd" in red and not responding. I thought the restart would have sorted that too, but it's still not responding.
    My question(s): What is it? And why is it not responding?

    have a look @ [this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10674317] discussion.

  • Activity Monitor: how to quickly find "not responding" processes?

    Is there a quick way, in Activity Monitor, to identify the apps/processes that are crashed/"not responding" other than scrolling down the list, looking for those highlighted in red?
    If there's a particular column/attribute to sort on, I haven't figured it out.
    Thanks!

    Ah, in that case, watch your CPU usage.
    When Activity Monitor starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom.
    For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the Menubar.
    Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
    When the slowdown occurs, see if something changes significantly, especially if the +% idle+ goes to near zero. If that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
    If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and/or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
    You may also want to select the +System Memory+ tab towards the bottom. Keep an eye on the total of Free and Inactive memory (if they're near zero, you may need more), and the +Page outs+ (if that's high, it's another indication you may need more memory).

  • Strange activity monitor display

    Since going to Lion, I have a strange occurance with the activity monitor at times. The area below the process list will change to a black background and sometimes the black will cover some of the indicators. Sometimes only part of that area will turn black. Other times I get odd lines, like the single black line that just showed up. Earlier it was some red lines.
    The only sure way to get rid of it is to restart. It seems to come around when I am having problems with Safari. I have not had this problem with any other displays other than the activity monitor.
    It may or may not be related, but I also get two tiney rectangles that show up at various place on the display form time to time. Moving the display by scrolling or moving a window will make them go away. Sometimes they go away by themselves.

    Yes, I noticed too the new category of "File Cache".  That might be masking the real memory usage and making it harder for us to compare Mavericks to Mountain Lion.  So we might be comparing apples to oranges...  I, too, am showing 0 swap and that, as you say, is a good thing. 
    This might also explain why they did away with the Memory pie chart that I used to use as my dock icon so I could instantly see my memory usage...  Perhaps with File Cache in this mix, it would make no sense to show that as a pie chart...  Who knows...?? 
    thanks  bob...

  • RAM and Activity Monitor questions M.B.P. Is sOoOoo slow and I just don't know where to start..RAM and Activity Monitor

       So I am really unsure where to start but I def need a little help getting to where I want to be or feel I should be.  I understand that I am pretty much filled when it comes to the RAM on this machine but I need to figure out how to lower it.  I back up my machine about once a week which is longer than I would prefer but due to the way Mavericks has been acting I cant deal with the long backup process.... WHY?!?? may be your response to that and I will fill you in.  My external Hard Drive is a 1tb Lacie and its about 2 years old.  In that time I have dropped, lost, threw and slept ontop of it.  Causeing minor damage (each time) to the casing.  So now becomes rather hot and I kinda dont want it to burn out.  When I first updated to Mavericks the backups were fast and went along mb by mb...now though, the updates drag out for 3-5 hours and update kb by kb.  Tried some of the "solutions" posted on here but none seem to work any more than me consistantly purging my system while the backup happens...kinda why I dont have time to do it everyday like I'd like.
         ANYWAY can someone please fill me in on a way, program, application, anything that will help me lower my RAM?  Because in the spirit of honesty I just dont have the extra funds to snag some new RAM or another HD.  I am almost at the point of saying "F**K IT" and wiping everything off the computer so its as close to empty as can be and manually, one by one redownloading what I want/need.  But I dont have the time to accomplish that either.  PLEASE lend me your ear and help a brudda out with some information from that exceptional brain of yours. 
         Below is a copy of my machines "report" from EtreCHECK and I am including screen shots of what the (Mavericks) Activity Monitor currently looks like in ALL PROCESSES.  PLUS it kinda seems that I have WAY TOOO MANY processes going on in the ACTIVITY MONITOR and have NO clue how to lower the amount.    Will truly appreciate any help anyone can toss my way. 
        THANK YOU

    Mavericks is designed to use as much RAM as possible. Free RAM is wasted RAM... it's RAM that's not working for you, not doing anything helpful. Seeing your RAM full is not an indication that there is a problem. Seeing your memory pressure graph spike would be.
    As for the performance issues, see my Mac Performance Guide.

    You should probably try to weed some of that out, if possible, or at least make sure it's all updated and compatible with Mavericks.

  • Updated to Mavericks. Now theres tons of activity in my terminal and my activity monitor doesn't seem normal. I want to think someone's hacking me, but i need experienced help please!

    I spent all night trying to fix this. It seems to me that someone has been trying to hack into my system with all of the random codes/lines in my terminal and i have all of his foreign IP addresses. And now i get this strange message that popped up in my terminal. Idk what it entirely means? I would very appreciate if someone could just walk me through this. Thank you very much.
    First time poster. I have Macbook Pro. OSX. Just downloaded the new mavericks. I'm i have my firewall on. I stay secure. I run Netbarrier, Virusbarrier, IdentityScrubber.
    I know something is a little odd or just doesn't make since about my activity monitor. Then my WiFi was hacked last night and this person was writing tons lines of commands/codes that i found in my terminal and my activity monitor doesn't look normal,  and I've only been a mac owner for about a year now and i'm learning more and more but while trying to figure out what was going on this message popped up which concerned me the most. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks guys. I have my terminal full of his foreign ip addresses i noticed, and a lot of other commands and lines he wrote out that i definitely did not type myself. Can anyone give me a hand on this? Thanks

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • "Disk Activity" monitor for multiple hard drives?

    Is there something like "Disk Activity" in the Activity Monitor utility to show which hard drive is accessed? I put a SSD in my Mac Pro but it occasionally hesitates for a few seconds as if it's accessing a file on one of the other three (slower) hard drives. I want to see a list of files that it needs that aren't on the SSD, so I can move them over and speed up my computer, or remove the extra hard drive eventually.

    Yes, it's possible.
    However for the maximum length I have not figured out.
    I haven't found a reason to go past 16 characters.

  • Activity Monitor shows very little free space.  Help?

    I am wanting to do Photoshop Creative Suite 6 on my MacBook Pro and everything is running SO SLOW!  I have opened the Activity Monitor to check things out.  I am not a computer expert at all, so I have included some information below in hopes that this will help dissect the problem. 
    It seems to me that the following numbers are  high and I am wondering if I can TRASH anything that is taking up too  much space?  What programs on my MacBook Pro are taking up SO MUCH space? When I open my computer, I only start running FireFox and Entourage.  Should I get rid of other icons in my dock that are not running?  By being on the dock, does this use RAM? 
    I had a lot of pictures on iphoto and I moved them all to an external hard drive. 
    I have emptied the iphoto trash and double-clicked the actual trash can to delete everything!
    I don't have any third party software on my computer.  I have heard that this can be bad, so I don't have any of that. 
    I did purchase Mac Cleaner (or something similar) several years ago, and it caused MAJOR problems on my computer.  I had to start from scratch and set up everything again with the help of a great MAC products person on the phone. I want to TRASH anything that is taking up extra space (cashe) but I don't want to buy a third party "MAC Cleaning" product.
    I have a Mid- 2009 MacBook Pro
    Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo
    Memory:  2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M  256 MB
    Software:  OSX 10.8.5
    It also shows in the "About the Mac" that L2 Cache is 3 MB.  This seems high for the cashe.  Can this be cleaned up somehow?
    I realize that the following numbers fluctuate, but gave the "ballpark" numbers as they are coming up now.
    The GREEN portion of the "pie" is almost non-existent.  The % User fluctuates between 5.00 and 8.00.  The RED % System is at about 2.50.  The Black % Idle fluctuates between 80.00 and 90.00. 
    The System Memory FREE (Green) is at about 104.0 MB.  The ACTIVE is at 758.2 MB.   The INACTIVE is at about 646.0 MB.  USED:  1.90 GB.
    VM Size:  200.40 GB

    Page outs: 209.7 MB

    Thank you to anyone who can help by calculating these numbers and letting me know how I should proceed.  I greatly appreciate any help you can provide!

    Since your computer is five years old there is no warranty to negate.  If if there were, replacing the RAM in a MacBook Pro would not void the warrantly.  If you update the RAM, keep the old RAM just in case.
    The new RAM is a $100 investment.  Compare that to a Retina MBP with 8 GB of RAM for $1,400 (128 GB SSD) or $1,500 (256 GB SSD).  Your choice. 
    Take a look at the free tutorial at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook on replacing RAM in your MBP to see if you think it is easy enough for you.  I expect you will.
    On a 2009 MacBook (not Pro) I recently upgraded the RAM to 8 GB and the disk to an SSD and it improved the boot time and application start times dramatically.  Now it runs most things as fast as my MacBook Air.  It even boots faster than my MBA.  That was about a $200 investment.  So I my expereince is it is worth updating older Macs.
    Rather than installiing an expensive SSD, you can boost the speed of the disk dramatically to SSD-like speeds for about $110.
    I am referring to the Seagate 1T Hybrid SSHD 2.5” drive selling for about $110 on Amazon.  It includes an 8 GB SSD cache that really speeds up your I/O and with 1 TB of storage you should never run out of disk space.
    It is fairly easy to replace the disk yourself, especially if you purchase the following inexpensive kits:
    Toolkit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/ (referenced above)
    USB 2.0 disk enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BPU2S/
    Again, go to ifixit.com for a tutoral on replacing the disk.
    Porting the data is easy:
    Install the new drive in the external enclosure.
    Boot the Recovery Partition (Boot then hold down Command and R simultaneously).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    (If your system came with installation disks, boot from them.)
    Use the Disk Utility Partition tab to format the drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) with a GUID partition.
    Disk Utility > Partition > Partiton Layout: Singe Partition > Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled) > Apply >
    Erase tab > Name: Macintosh HD2 > Security Options… > single pass of zeroes > OK > Erase…
    (Wait, this will take a long time.)
    Clone the existing drive onto the new one:
    Disk Utility > Restore > Source "Macintosh HD” or whatever the old system disk is named.
    > Destination: “Macintosh HD2” or whatever you named it.
    > Restore
    (Wait.  This well take some time.)
    Physically swap the two drives using the tutorial above.
    Boot normally.
    Save the old disk as an archived backup until you are sure you don’t need it.
    Be sure to backup your system before any software updates or hardware upgrades.
