IMac has become slow and freezes up

For a few months now my iMac has been much slower than it used to be. Apps take longer to open, menu functions respond more slowly, folders and files take longer to open, pages longer to display, etc. Frequently the active window freezes and the colour wheel starts spinning for 10-15 seconds (it has been doing it twice since I started writing this sentence). This happens with all apps I am using, like Safari, Mail, Word and Excel, but particularly frequently in Logic Pro X. Sometimes when it happens (but not always), I get the error message "Disk too slow or system overload (-10010)". However, I upgraded to Logic Pro X about a year ago, and I never had this problem during the first number of months after the upgrade. I am aware that Logic uses a lot of CPU and memory, but, as mentioned, I also have the problem when Logic is not running. This leads me to think there might be something with the hard disk, although it beats me why it suddenly should have become slow. I am currently running everything from the built-in 1 TB hard disk. I have a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 CPU and 8 GB RAM. A full EtreCheck report with my system specifics is enclosed below. Can anyone help?

Firefox has become slow and bloated.

Since using the add-ons my once elegantly swift Firefox has become nonreactive and the height of the toolbars, bookmarks and the rest takes up too much space over the screen.

It's neither, it's using the "add a keyword for this search" button that appears in the context menu of most in-page search fields. This creates a bookmark with the place in the GET request where the query should be replaced with %s.
I've imported both of those files into my new profile, and the bookmarks do indeed get imported, but the keywords do not, so I can't use them to search.

Meli070,

Since upgraded to ios 8 my iPhone has become slow and deleted photos appeared automatically in camera roll. How do I overcome these problems?Please help

Kindly help me to solve these problems.

Hi abhi_lara,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues with generalized slowness and photo behavior after upgrading your iPhone to iOS 8, you may want to first try resetting your device:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If you are still having issues after the reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring the apps or your data. You may find the following article helpful:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Regards,

Macbook has become slow and unresponsive.

Hi everyone, thank you for reading.
So I bought this 15 inch Macbook Pro around April and it has been perfect until now. Admittedly I do not often turn off my computer, and leave it in sleep mode. So I did that for around a month, and last night it just froze. I turned it off, thinking that a simple shut down would fix things as always, but it took incredibly long to start up. When the login screen came up, i started to type my password but then it disappeared. Then it came back and i tried again but it disappeared again. Then it came up and the letters appeared and I was able to log in. And then after around 4 or 5 minutes the computer becomes normal again. However, now programs such as iTunes are not responding and it takes a few force quits before it actually opens. Does anyone think they know the solution to this? Additionally, sometimes a whirring noise comes from the area where a CD would go in. It is a noise you might expect a Windows computer to make when it is loading something. Thanks again everyone.

The first thing that comes to mind is that possibly the hard drive is going south. Just in case it is, the first order of business is to make a good backup and keep it up to date if you haven't already.
How full is your hard drive? How big and how much free space? OS X needs 15%-20% free space for optimum operation.
You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test and see if anything shows up in the form of an error code.
Also, boot from your install disc and repair your boot disk. While in Disk Utility, check the SMART status. If you have errors that Disk Utility cannot fix, post back with what they are. Also if SMART is anything other than verified.
For a comprehensive view of the physical health of your hard drive, you can try this utility:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
You can download the demo and run it several times for free. SMART Utility may allow you to see impending drive failure sooner than Disk Utility will.
If your drive checks out OK, you could try a PRAM reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
Also check to see that all your RAM is recognized.
These are just some general suggestions for a place to start. If no joy, there are other things to try.
Good luck!

Mid 2012 macbook pro has become slow and has a malware on it i can't locate

I have a Faux flash player Malware window pops up randomly, used bit defender and activity monitor to try to find it with no luck.
Im looking for a free way to fix that guy.
RAM also seems to always be heavily used even with little open and running, windows lag when switching between Chrome windows and often gets overloaded on Vectorworks 2013 now, If i can get the flash update thing taken care up I may upgrade to 2X 8gb RAM if that can't be figured out to expedite
(Activity Monitor currently shows 8gb physical mem with 7.97 used, wasn't a problem often before Yosemite)
Heres my Etrecheck

The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they may be the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked.
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. If the fake update alerts stop, see below. Otherwise, ask for instructions.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

20" Imac has white screen and freezes at start-up

my 20" imac will not start....help...All I get is a white screen and tone at start-up then it stays white. I tried hooking up a bootable firewire drive and pressing the alt/option key at start up nothing. I also tried the command/option/p/r at start up, it will reboot to the same screen. I also tried running the hardware diagnostics at start-up...no response. Computer was purchased on Nov .4 2007, warrenty just expired.
Help......Please....

I had the exact same problem today. My iMac 20" (iMac 8,1) would't boot any more, staying stuck on a white screen immediately after the normal start-up chime. Nothing worked (no safe mode, no DVD boot, no disk selection icon when starting with alt pressed, no Apple hardware test, no parameter RAM reset, power management chip reset had no effect, no verbose mode, not even open firmware).
I browsed the forums, but what I found didn't help, so I was about to stop trying and have it fixed by Apple. But my son told me he had noticed that after "a long time" (he's 4...), a folder with a flashing ? would appear. I figured that wouldn't happen in case of a severe hardware failure, so I tried one last thing: I hooked up an old PowerBook in target disk mode via Firewire and restarted the iMac. I tried several times (with and without alt pressed), but nothing happened (when pressing alt, a functional mouse pointer would appear, though).
Then I restarted a last time and left the iMac sit there on its white screen for about 20 minutes... and that's when the miracle happened: it finally booted off the target-disk mode PowerBook's system!
I ran Disk Utility, which saw the iMac internal HD as disk2s0 (or something like that), and launched the disk repair process. After about three error-ridden verify-repair cycles, the green ok message finally appeared and the volume mounted as if nothing had happened. I rebooted off the internal disk without a glitch, and I still have to find damaged or lost files.
I guess I was lucky that my HD problem was benign enough to be cured by Disk Utility. But even if that had not been the case, at least I'd have known that the HD failed, and maybe I could have saved some files using recovery software. Whatever the case, if you've got an external bootable drive, it's definitely worth trying before handing your iMac over for (usually horribly expensive) repairs.
Good luck!

Os8 and ipad2 has become slow

Since upgrading my ipad2 to os8 it has become slow and unresponsive, is this going to be fixed.

The hope is that IOS 8.1.1 which is now in beta will improve the performance issues we are now encountering.

My mac has become slow since installing mavericks iOS

Since installing the Mavericks OS my Mac has become slow and unresponsive, it freezes up all of the time and I always have to wait for the different software to load once I have clicked on the icon.
Before I installed Mavericks when I clicked on a program it opened straight away and I could use it immediatly, is any one else having this problem?
Thank you

Here's your report with some comments in red:
Hardware Information:
          MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009)
          MacBook - model: MacBook6,1
          1 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU: 2 cores
          2 GB RAM Mavericks will run with 2 GB of RAM, but it won't run well. I know the specs say 2, but 4 is a more realistic minimum for reasonable performance. You have page-outs (see the last line of the report), which means that tasks are being paged out to your virtual memory (i.e., your hard drive), because your RAM is full. The page outs might go down if you fix some of the possible problems below, and your performance might improve; if it doesn't, you might consider putting more RAM in your Mac.

Suggestions:
First, make sure you have a good backup.
What to do about the items in green:
The items in green are third party software that may be a problem. They run all the time in the background, and thus may be making things slow. You can test this theory: try a safe boot (restart, hold down shift until you see the Apple logo). A safe boot does some diagnostic checking and then starts up without third party added-on software. If this eliminates the symptoms, then you know the problem is with a third-party item. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
I don't know if the green ones are a problem or not, but they are on the list of suspects, and you're going to need to do some research yourself.
The general philosophy is:
Figure out what the application is that is responsible for a particular green item.
If you can live without the application, it, uninstall it. You should uninstall the entire application that is responsible, not just the green bit. The best way is with an uninstaller from the developer of the application. If there's no uninstaller (one of the hallmarks of crapware), then an internet search may help (as in, "uninstall crapapp mac", where crapapp is the name of the software in question). After uninstalling the app, restart, see how your symptoms are, and run Etrecheck again. I am a fan of AppZapper for uninstalling apps, if there is no uninstaller from the developer. AppZapper - The uninstaller Apple forgot.
Sometimes, after you have run an uninstaller or manually uninstalled a suspect application, one of those green bits will still be on the Etrecheck report. If your Mac's symptoms have resolved, it's better to leave well enough alone and leave it there. If you must, you can try a modified Finder search to find the stubborn green bit and remove it. These system files do not show up in a default Finder or Spotlight Search.
If you can't live without this app, then at least make sure it is up to date and compatible with Mavericks.
What to do about the items in red
These are definite problems and should be fixed if they are Apple software. They should be fixed or uninstalled if they are third party developer software.
For red Apple items, I would try:
repairing your hd. Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, I'd try Techtool, which can occasionally fix something that disk utility can't. Techtool Pro 7 Then restart, reassess performance, and rerun Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation. Restart, reassess, and Etrecheck.
If that doesn't work, you're looking at the nuclear option: backup your documents, erase your HD, and do a clean reinstall of Mavericks.
For red non-Apple software, I'd uninstall it and then recheck with Etrecheck. Then if you must reinstall it, make sure it's up to date and compatible with Mavericks.

I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from 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 System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. 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.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your computer.
Repair your disk from your System DVD.
Repairing permissions from the Tiger or Leopard DVD
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
If Disk First aid is able to complete the repair now click on the "Repair permissions" button.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
After moving all the files, restart the computer and empty the Trash.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This unwanted program is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

IMac has become slow and freezes up
