IMac i3 intel, 4 GB Ram very slow

I have an ongoing issue with my iMac. It runs very slowly and indeed launching new items takes forever. It is painful.
I've gone through various different cleaning processes (clean my mac used) plus some. Although this is a good habit it frees space it is making no headway at all on the speed issue. Can somebody tell me from the details below if I have an underlying issue from an app running or am doing something wrong. There seem to be no processes failing it is just poor. Safari in particular needs a good 5 minutes notice before I can use it.
Thank you in advance.

You are all being really helpful. I am making progress but slowly. Here is the latest EtreCheck after unnistalling the CleanMyMac software, I didn't re paste the EtreCheck results after that process.
All users (I have 4) now have only skype (x2 users) or skype and dropbox (x2 users) anthing else has been removed from login items.
WD smartware is causing a problem. I cam with the big my book drive I use for Time Machine, I probably don't need the software so located the uninstaller. It won't work. Continually stops working and advises me it will shut down the utility.
I would like to keep Chrome but have stopped it loading automatically. As Android phone users, it helps to have easy access to google profile and drive.
Blackberry and Tom Tom I have not uninstalled as my husband needs both for work but the sneaky utility that RIM place in login items has been removed for all users. We may be able to get rid of them shortly.
The motorola stuff - I can't even find!!
Here's the new EtreCheck... Anymore suggestions would be appreciated. I will trawl the WD site to solve that issue.

The first two things I recommend is boot from your installer dvd or external bootable drive and repair/verify your drives with Disk Utility (not repair permissions) and do a smc and pram reset.
Also make sure you have at least 20GB to 25GB free space on your boot volume for OS operations.

My iMac is all of a sudden very slow - help?

My iMac is all of a suddden very slow and the incoming gmail is no longer working. However my incoming mail works fine on my iPad and other devices? The slowness is on every thing?

First question to ask is: how much free space is still available on your hard drive?

IMac 21 , OS 10.8 works very slow,

I have a computer iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2010 , OS 10.8 works very slow, recovery over Time Machine (10.6) and a complete reinstall (10.8) does not help:
slow during the startup, even when i select OC
Bootcamp Windows 7 also not boot hangs at the entrance
What to do? I Checked the disc Macintosh HD via Disk Utility it says that the drive is OK and does not need to fix
what to do and how to find out what the problem is?

Checked with TechTool Pro, it has found 436 bad blocks ,now what to do? how to treat them?

New iMac 2.33 GHz w/2GB RAM VERY SLOW... slower than my non-intel iMac

So I just purchased a new Intel iMac with a 2.33GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. Seems like this thing should scream. I ran Migration Assistant upon starting the thing up in order to load on my 25ish software applications, 10,000 photos and numerous documents. Everything looks pretty good except that the computer hangs like crazy. On my old iMac which is only 2.0 GHz and 1GB of RAM I can have Photshop, Keynote, iPhoto, Mail and Safari all open at once, switching betwen them in order to get my work done. It's never been a problem. For some reason however, this new machine doesn't seem to be able to handle such tasks. Even the finder is slow. I'll click on a folder and it will take seconds for the items in that folder to show up. I just don't get it. The only thing that's faster is that the system boots much faster than my old iMac. Is it that all of this software isn't written for the intel chip? Is there some way in which I can test my system in order to be sure it's operating at full steam? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

How long have you actually had the Mac? How many hours has it been actually active?
When an iMac is brand new Spotlight has to index the entire HD. Not just the Mac OS and Apple software pre-installed, but everything you have migrated as well (10,000 photo)! If it doesn't have some quiet time, a few hours depending on how many Gigs it needs to index, to accomplish this on it's own then the whole system will run slow as you force it to do what you want to do and it tries to do what it wants to do, both at the same time.
There is also plenty of evidence that Migrating more than your personal account and personal files, photos, music, videos, docs, etc. can indeed mess things up. The majority of PPC apps run OK with Rosetta, but there are a few incompatibles. It is almost always best to do fresh installs of PPC apps from install dicks or fresh internet downloads. Also have you checked if there are Universal binary updates available for any of your PPC apps.

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs

IMac running Mavericks 10.9.5; very slow, sluggish, apps freeze, mail is almost useless (gmail imap). Here are the results from etrecheck:EtreCheck version: 1.9.15 (52) Report generated October 7, 2014 at 1:12:49 PM PDT Hardwa

My iMac has been sluggish for a long time; finally got around to posting here for help!
I've tried using Onyx to clean it up and it helped a little, but it seems as if everything freezes up and forget about mail; I use apple mail with gmail (google docs) and it is constantly indexing, etc. I need to use the web browser to answer email and it's just not what I want from apple.
Please help!
Thanks

IMac Crashes when I render - also very slow

Having used CS5 for some time on a 24 inch 2008 iMac, I recently upgraded to CS6 when I purchased a very "new" used iMac. The iMac in question was from a work colleague who purchased it for one project then decided to buy a Macbook instead. He had it for under 5 months.
The spec is as follows: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i5-2.7-27-inch-aluminum-mid-201 1-thunderbolt-specs.html:// it came with 12GB RAM (bought from an Apple approved dealer)
I am loading 1080p files from four Sony NX5s and either nesting them or where required (two filming dates merged) four or more video tracks and around three our four audio tracks.
After a while the footage becomes too choppy to watch at full res, and I usually drop to 1/2 then 1/4 resolution. WIth around two or three minutes of footage on the time line the video freezes and I need to render.
Herein lies the big problem: When I render such footage the bar tracks until 99% and then the machine powers down. Although I have autosave set to every 2 minutes and I manually save the project before I render, when the system powers back up the project will revert to the start point (footage disappears from the import folders and nothing appears in the time line) - Ive checked the scratch discs and the latest version always shows as the prevous save.
This is becoming frustrating and yesterday I decided to export the footage without rendering and again it crashed with three minutes of footage with two video and two audio tracks.
Is there a fix for this? Is my hardware insufficient and should I go to a 32gb RAM on a Mac Pro?
Any advice gladly received!

This is for Windows, but it "seems" that you have a similar problem, so some reading that MAY help with ideas

IMac with SSD and Hard drive very slow startup time

I have a new mid 2011 iMac with a 250gb SSD drive and a 2TB drive. All are from Apple as BTO options. When I first used the iMac my typical startup time from the hardware check chime to desktop was typically 12 seconds. Something, somehow has been changed because now it takes over one minute to boot up from the SSD. After the chime I hear the fans running and also the 2tb drive. After about 20 seconds I hear the hard drive spin down and then after another 20 seconds it starts up again. Once it starts up the boot up sequences contiunes and returns to the desktop. After this the iMac perfprms as normal. I have tried running disk utility from the recovery partition. I have also reinstalled Lion as well from the recovery partition and neither of these change the outcome.
When I first got the iMac I used time machine to restore from a previous machine into the 2tb partition and then went into advanced options in System preferences>Users&Groups to point to my home folder on the 2Tb drive rather than the default one on the SSD. That was working fine until I discovered software problems with both Preview and Textedit where they would not start up with this arangement. I then repointed my home folder to the default one on the SSD which cured this issue with these programmes leaving my data remaining on the 2Tb drive. Since doing this I have had the one minute boot up problem.
Can anyone offer any advice as to how I may overcome this problem and get my iMac back to starting up in twelve seconds from the SSD as it did before. Any help would be appreciated on this topic.
Thanks.

Where do you maintain your Home folder - on the SSD or on the HDD?
If you want to do a clean install (from scratch) then do the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Before you go to the extreme of the above would you do this:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Just in case your system slowness is due to something eating up CPU time. Oh, and if your system is brand new check the upper right corner of the menubar for a "dot" inside the Spotlight glass. This means Spotlight is indexing the drive. Until it finishes your system will be quite sluggish.

Apple iMac 20" / MODEL A1224 / EMC # 2210 / Very Slow

My Apple iMac 20" is really slow and has erratic bvehaviour.
After Apple Hardware Test, I got this error:
4HDD/11/4000000: SATA (0,0)
Can someone can help me please?
I was reding some threads and some people says, just run the Utility disk is and repair the Hard Disk problem.
Other says: " Replace the Hard Drive",
others: "Replace the SATA cable",
other says "change the HD fan".
I have read people already changed Hard Drive and continued with same problem.
Can someone is able to give ma a hands-on support?
Ulitity disk is the "Apple Computer iMac Restore CD with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard" (2 cd's came with the machine when purchased) or will I need another one?
Thank you I will appreciate. I can't work in my iMac because it is lower than a turtle.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Intel Pro Wireless misbehaving - very slow internet

I have a problem with the Intel Pro Wireless card in my T60. When I try to use the internet, it is incredibly slow (about 9 kbps download), even though I have broadband. I have found a temporary fix for the problem. In Device Manager, under the Intel Pro driver properties, I noticed that the power management for the wireless card is all the way down. By increasing the power, my internet problem is fixed. However, every time I restart the computer, the same thing happens again. How can I fix this long term?

I'm using Parallels 7 on an imac with Windows 7. Both OSX and Windows (and especially quicken on Windows) runs very slow. Is there a good way to fix this?

Since installing Parallels 7 and Windows 7 (to use Quicken), my imac and the virtual computer run very slow. Is there a good fix?

Start up while holding Command R and run Disk Utility, check the SMART status and repair your hard drive.

IMac has become very slow

Dear all,
My iMac (purchased in 2010) has become very slow. The response time of programs is slow as well as the start up process. I have upgraded the system to OS Mountain Lion when it was available (I've prechecked my system before wethever it is strong enough, and it was).
I have done OS software updates and as well restarts. But I am facing still the same issue. While surfing with Safari or using Office, the response time is long (the cursor becomes a rainbow-color-circle)....
During the time I have installed Norton by Symantec as a protection... don't know if that has any influence, too...
Any ideas how what the issue might be and how can i solve this?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Lucien

Remove the Norton/Symantec product by following the instructions on either of these pages:
Uninstalling your Norton product for Mac
Removing Symantec programs for Macintosh
If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. Back up all data before making any changes.

Ftp is very slow locally with intel solaris 8 with 98 se buffalo ( 100mps)

why? what to check? ping ok.
3 com 3c905b card installed with solaris 8 connected with linksys router.
Buffalo installed in 98 se 100 mps
cable modem with dynamic ip.
I have tried FTP in 98 SE with LINUX 6.0 RH via LINKSYS router with ver 1.37 ( 1.37 is even worser than 1.36-because the status is not refresh but itself) is ok.
but 98SE with intel solaris 8 is very slow with wu-ftp(ipswitch) 1%, then 1%....etc an hour later still 1%. I shut down the solaris try a few times, then it is ok. all connection is tight.
some one said::
The most common mistake that causes bad throughput is mixing
full-duplex and half-duplex stations on the same LAN.
HOWTO solve full-duplex and half -duplex??
thanks for your attention!

VERY slow backup to external Hard Drive

I have an older external HD case (New Motion) with a Western Digital 120GB Hard Drive that I use for backup, firewire only.
I use this drive on my old slot loading iMac G3 (10.3.8) and it runs very fast, copying 16GB from the iMac to the backupin about 15 minutes.
When I connect the backup drive to my G5 iMac (10.4.2) it runs VERY slow at night, taking 6 hours to copy the same amout of information.
I notice that during the day it takes less time, but still about 1.5 hours. (The night/day differences are consistent).
Is this an issue with Tiger or a setting in Tiger or how Tiger talks to firewire, or an issues with the G5 iMac? (Both firewire ports work fine with my iPod updating music).

Hi robfromkinglake west,
Try and isolate the issue. Check if it's only with this drive.
Check the drive with Disk Utility

I've never seen a drive take 20 minutes to mount.

IMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 12gb of RAM running very very slow.

My late 2010 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 12gb of ram is running very slow. It takes a very long for the computer to boot with the desktop taking ages to fully load. Applications are also taking an unholy amount of time to load with the spinning wheel always appearing through out use, and they often crash or don't respond and close during use. I'm talking applications like Word taking 3 minutes to load and getting the spinning wheel when font size is tried to be changed and crashing and closing if a large volume of text is attempted to be pasted into a document.The computer is also failing to shut down properly just staying on a blue screen. I recently wiped and completed a fresh install however the issues came back.
As you can imagine after spending so much on the computer I'm not best pleased about these issue, I've spoken to the apple staff in my local store by they weren't very helpful and seemed to no little about computers and the so called "Genius" who I spoke to about my issue was a joke, repeating himself and talking utter rubbish, while I understand you need to look at a computer to get a real picture of an issue, some advice could of been provided. I haven't got time to take the computer to the store at the moment and get a technician to look a it, so I was wondering if anyone else had experienced these issues and knew what caused the fault, and that way if possible I can repair the issue myself.
Thanks in advance for any help on the issue it’s much appreciated. At the moment I'm pretty close to ditching the thing and buying an Alienware!
