I have done a EtreCheck via Etresoft and the report is enclosed. Can anyone tell me if there is something obvious thats needs either updating or even removing to speed up my pc? Thanks

In addition, you also have one of the worse things for Macs since the sledgehammer--MacKeeper.

Also. Trusteer Rapport software, in spite of ongoing efforts on the part of its developer, will not play well with Safari.

IMHO, you have way too many things launching at startup. Figure out what you can manaully launch latter when needed and turn them off in System Preferences > USeres & Groups >Login items tab.
The "page-outs" for RAM is starting to creap up indicating more RAM could help. If you don't want to buy RAM, removing some apps from the log-in items can help performance.

  • Brand new iMac running slow with only 3% of HD used!

    I just purchased a new iMAC 21.5" with 2.9 i5 and 8GB memory and literally have yet to add any programs except AI, ID and PS and its running very poorly. This is my first MAC and i'm very disappointed. I purchased this computer for school where I am getting my BS in media arts. I use an older 27" iMAC at school using all the same programs and more and my new computer doesn't hold a candle to its usability. For example, opening up the programs takes what I consider to be a long time being that there is nothing on the HD. While in PS, and trying to edit, without even having multiple windows open, or multiple layers, it will not instantly edit in the preview window. If and when it decides to edit the computer, then it prompts the color wheel buffer. I specifically told the guy at the store exactly what I would be using it for - to only run the Adobe programs and CC. Since owning the iMAC, I have updated the suggested programs from the apple store and had the most recent OS updates.
    The model number of the computer: A1418 any help would be greatly appreciated! If I don't have the correct model I need - I will gladly make the unsaid large retail giant take it back, one way or another.

  • Why does my imac run slow with mac os x v10.6.7

    Since I installed Snow Leopard, our iMac has been freezing up and running slow.  Does anyone have any idea about how to fix this?

  • 2007 iMac runs slow with beachball

    just updated from snow leopard to yosemite. IMac now is very slow and beachball spins constantly. iPhoto was very slow before but will now not run. Has 2 x 1 gb of ram but these are both nearly full. If I upgrade them for 2 gb each will that solve problem or is it something more sinister?

    I must say that I had the same problem before but not as much
    Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac recently?  Or installed any antivirus software? They can mess up things big time.
    Download the free MacTracker application to see how much memory your model can use.  Some models can use 6 GB when Apple only will certify 4 GB because they haven't tested it with that amount.  Some suppliers have.  Crucial.com is a very reputable supplier of Mac RAM.

  • G5 iMac Runs Slower with OS 10.5 than it did with 10.4

    My older iMac is a first generation 20" G5 with 1.8GHZ G5 processor, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HD of which 75.6 GB is free space.
    Ever since upgrading from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 it runs noticeably slower. The HD was replaced within the last 12 months so I don't think it's a symptom of disk fragmentation (if that even matters much anymore). Also, in the Energy Saver control panel, the processor performance is set to highest.
    What, if anything, can I do to restore the iMac to its former peppyness?
    Currently it's being used mostly for email and web surfing.
    Should I consider "downgrading" back to OS 10.4?
    Thanks!

    Try vacuuming the air vents, emptying trash, using [whatsize|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/44018] to see what applications you can delete. Also, empty the browser cache frequently and look in Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor to see what application is using a large amount of either memory and/or CPU.

  • Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

    There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

  • My 24" iMac seems to gets the spinning colored ball a lot, seems it is running slow a lot more than it did before any suggestion?

    My 24” iMac seems to gets the spinning colored ball a lot, seems it is running slow a lot more than it did before any suggestion?

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • HT3964 1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with each time reboot being worse. Now, unplug reboot and eventually wallpaper background comes up but there are no icons?

    1st problem was IMac running slow.  Shut down and unplugged several times with no correction.  Eventually, shut down, unplug and reboot resulted in wallpaper background eventually coming on screen but no icons.  Nothing after that.

    Kurt, do you know which exact iMac this is?
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Does it do better if allowed to cool off for a couple of hours?
    What do you see if you hold Option or alt key at bootup?
    Does it boot from the install disc holding c key at bootup?

  • 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.

    - cleared items from Users / Groups | Login
    - checked Activity Monitor to remove any processes in red
    - run disk verify
    - reinstalled the OS X
    here is the output from my EtreCheck ...

  • 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 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.
