Imac Starting To Slow And Increase Hard Drive Paging

Hello,
I have been noticing that my computers seems to be getting slower, and also I am noticing much more hard drive paging, to the point where it is a concern. I do not do any graphics or high intensity CPU usage on this computer. I have run the disk utility from the Mac, and no issues found. Is this a sign that the hard drive might be failing? Or do I just reinstall operating from scratch?If hard drive failing, on this computer, can I put one of the new solid state drives?
Thanks JR

Hello,
Thank you very much for the reply. Is it possible I turn off some of the plugins? I do not think some are even used anymore?
Thanks JR

  • My Macbook Pro feels slow and the hard drive is making a faint rattling noise.

    I'm seriously considering taking it back to the Apple Store. I've had it for just over 4 months.
    The hard drive is a lot louder than it used to be and rattles faintly.
    I used to be able to open various large applications like Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Fireworks for web design all at once, and each application worked fine transferring different files from one to the other.
    I'm really disappointed that after 4 months my MacBook Pro feels like an ordinary laptop. It's embarrassing to think I paid £1000 for something that will decrease in performance ability over such a short period of time.
    I repair disk permissions, have 15% + free space on my hard drive, empty the recycle bin, pretty much everything that should help un-clog the system.
    I have also use compressed air to blow dust out of the fans and around the insides of my MacBook Pro. (No I have not damaged anything, the noise is roughly the same as it was BEFORE I took the MacBook apart), and still no luck.
    Any help, suggestions or even sharing a similar experience would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    I woulg take it back to the store, the HD could have issues, it might be loose, I hope they don't void your warranty because you opened it

  • Help! iMac doesn't start, alarming audio signals, no hard drive...any hope?

    I have a 17" G5 iMac, the iSight model. Bought it pretty much exactly two years ago, when they were first released.
    Problem history:
    About a year ago (just too late to get Applecare) the superdrive started acting funky, wouldn't burn double layer and wouldn't read some dvd's. Ended up buying an external LaCie burner, that was cheaper than getting the built-in one replaced.
    About half a year ago, one vertical line of pixels died in the LCD. Annoying. But it was pretty far to the right, so I could live with it, as it didn't affect performance.
    About a month ago, a second vertical line of pixels died....I still tolerated it, as the computer itself was functional, and I'm pretty cheap.
    LAST NIGHT: While browsing in firefox, the system freezes. Spinning beach ball, nothing is responding. I end up shutting it down by holding the power button. Now when I turn it on, it keeps making an annoying signal, sounds like a cheap cell phone ring, with a vibrating sound to it. Over and over. Eventually it gives me a blank screen with a folder icon with a blinking question mark. So I read up in the manual, and it says, "in case of blinking question mark, start up the computer while holding the option key, then click on the hard drive icon, and then click on the continue button". I go ahead and boot with the option key....and no hard drive icon appears! Just a refresh button and a continue button. So I'm stuck.
    My interpretation: The computer cannot detect the hard drive, for whatever reason, and therefore cannot boot. Does this sound right?
    Is this another one of those "common problems" with iMacs from around that time? Cause I'm just about getting tired of those... I only hope that no matter what happens, my hard drive's contents are not lost. This would be disastrous.

    Well, it turns out it is a defect hard drive. The cellphone-like sounds, along with a "vibrating" sound are actually made by the hard drive itself, not the Mac.
    Our IT specialist says it's most likely the head scraping on the disk surface. Very bad news, as that would really be reducing any chance of my data still being intact...
    We extracted the hard drive (major pain in the *** - thanks for the design, Apple!), and it's going to a data recovery specialist.
    Lessons learned so far: Be wary Apple's hardware reliability, ergo GET APPLE CARE, and back up your stuff!!

  • I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

    Without a bootable backup/clone or a Time Machine backup of your previous Snow Leopard installation or a saved copy of Lion's install app, you'll have to upgrade your Leopard volume to Snow Leopard (10.6.6+) so you can waste another hour or more DLing the Lion thing again.

  • My iMac (late 2010 model) desktop's hard drive is fried (was about 200GB). How much am I expecting to pay for a new one and retrieve my information?

    As you can see Erin, trying to recover information from a hosed drive can be very expensive. 
    I would suggest first the OWC site as well. You can get a new drive of choice in size there.
    I would also get the voyager  http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/VOYQHDB1.0T/
    and..
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Prosoft%20Engineering/DGDR3BUN/
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/TOOLKIT11/
    Wth your lap top and these folllowing tools your are set to change out the drive, reload OS and then with
    the voyager pop in the old iMac drive and with the Prosoft software, try to mount and recover the files. Data Rescue is very good at this " if " the drive is not totally mechanically hosed. Drive Genius is very good at a number of things too. Nothing replaces the old adage of Back Up Back up Back up.
    The voyage I listed can become the new backup drive for you.. your choice of tools: Time Machine or by cloning via CarbonCopyCloner or by what I use SuperDuper! IF you want to be really kewl.. both. By that I mean cloning and Time Machine.
    It will take you an hour to swap out the drive and spring clean the iMac.. there is a hundred how too,s on you tube.
    Hope this helps. Remember if is always when a drive will fail..they all do. I tell the people I support that Harddrives are good for 15 min.. to when they don't work. They will all fail.
    Apple Geniuses are very limited to what they can and will do as far as file recovery.
    Your best bet is to try to do it your self first. There is lots of help out here and you are not the first.

  • If I have manually set "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for songs, and my hard drive is backed up in Time Machine, when files/songs are transferred on new hard drive, will my "Start Time" "Stop Time" options be there?

    My Macbook Pro will be going in for reimaging and my hard drive will be wiped, I want to know if all my iTunes preferences will be copied if I have backed them up on Time Machine. Specifically, if I have set certain "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for my songs, and I copy my iTunes library, will these "Start Time" and "Stop Time" options remain or will I have to manually set them one by one once again? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks so much!

    As far as I'm aware the start & stop times are stored in the library database, not the media files. If you backup/restore/transfer the whole library then the settings are included. If you create a complete copy of your iTunes folder on another drive you can connect to that copy by holding down option/alt as you start iTunes so you can check that everything is working properly before you send the Macbook away.

  • I have a 2007 Macbookpro and it started up with gray checkered boxes ann across the screen I tried to re load OSX and it work 1 day and started again is this a hard drive problem or Video?  Now as it starts to load a screen comes up saying to restart

    I have a 2007 Macbookpro and it started up with gray checkered boxes and across the screen I tried to re load OSX and it work 1 day and started again is this a hard drive problem or Video?  Now as it starts to load a screen comes up saying to restart over and over again

    I'd suspect this known issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    if you have a late 2007 MBP.
    The only testing you can do at home is to attach an external monitor and see if the defects repeat on the external. If so, get to an Apple store. If the computer's video chipset fails a test the Apple Store will perform, you get a free logic board replacement. Turnaround is usually one day to one week--not bad at all.
    If the defects do NOT repeat on an external monitor, then the problem is not covered by the above Repair Extension Program
    The issue is heat-triggered. Be certain that you control heat once you get it fixed. Don't use the computer in your lap without a lapboard; don't block the vents under the display hinge; don't us in clamshell mode, etc.

  • I just purchased a new iMac and my Hard Drive is not showing on my desktop.

    I just purchased a new iMac and my Hard Drive is not showing on my desktop. It doesn't show up on a finder window either.

    No.  It's what I've named my boot drive.
    New Finder windows can be set to open any selected volume or folder of your choice.

  • My Macbook starts up, shows the screen saver, then immediately goes to sleep. I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep.

I tap the spacebar, it comes back for a second, shows the tool bar and the hard drive icon then immediately "goes to sleep".  This can go on forever, on, sleep, on, sleep. I can only see the screen for maybe 3-5 seconds; not enough time to do anything. Someone did step on it, so I don't know if the problem is with screen or ??
    Thanks!

    Hello, Juniorjr2. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like screen curtain may be enabled.  Screen curtain is a feature that allows display privacy.  To disable screen curtain while VoiceOver is enabled, you can three finger triple tap the screen to disable this feature.  You may need to press the home button once in order to process these steps.  If you wish to disable VoiceOver, see the link in the article below.

  • I had CS4 on my iMac desktop (two users) but my hard drive completely crashed. We bought two new Macbook Pros (one for me and one for my daughter) but CS4 didn't transfer over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate it there.  My daughter is head

    We had an iMac with CS4 and the hard drive finally crashed. My daughter and I were both users on that computer.  We purchased two new macbook pros and had the data transferred but CS4 didn't come over. The iMac is totally dead so we can't deactivate anything from it. She is heading off to college soon and eventually will need to upgrade but for now CS4 is just fine. I also need it on my computer.  Help??

  • IMac is very slow and sluggish, keeps churning when editing files or on internet

    My iMac is running slow and sluggish, it takes several minutes to edit a word document or search the internet ... intermittently it runs great but productivity is near zero when to edit a sentence in a Word document takes several minutes.  When typing an email the cursor stops and if you keep typing it eventually fills in what was typed even though you can't see it when typing. Ran Etrecheck ... report is attached.
    Problem description:
    iMac mid 2010 is running very slow … takes too long to edit documents and open internet sites … increased RAM a month ago from 4 to 12 GB

  • Macbook Pro 2011 extremely slow wondering if hard drive failure

    Hello, I want to start off by saying I'm not a huge computer guru, so that is why I'm coming here first. My Macbook Pro worked very well for a year, and then it has slowed down drastically. I've always been a windows user so mac is kind of foreign to me, but I'm trying to learn.
    Some problems I've encountered are 1. Extremely slow running whether internet related, or just an application. I have checked the activity monitor and nothing is hogging up my memory. 2. Spinning wait cursor (rainbow circle) when I try to do ANYTHING. It takes minutes to start computer once it makes it to home screen. The circle just spins for a few minutes. Even just web surfing it's there. 3. Battery drains from 100% to less than 20% in 30 minutes, which again is annoying. 4. When battery drains the fan turns on and seems to drain battery even faster. 5. I get a lot of random errors forcing shut down of programs. I have ignored this problem for two years by not using my laptop or using it very minimally, but I am going to be needing a laptop again for school and not just my iPad and phone so I was planning on taking my macbook to genius bar, but wanted to check here first since Apple is an hour away. Plus I want to be able to use the piece of equipment that I spent a decent chunk of change on. I used time machine to back up everything today. I know its not a space issue as I have 300+ free GB on hard drive. I have tried to read through similar posts, but its overwhelming so I came here to post my own question.
    I ran disc utility and there were some errors, which were able to be corrected after a couple tries. Computer still slow though when trying to do anything and running rainbow circle.
    In recovery mode I reinstalled OSX
    I was finally able to install updates after completing the above that were not able to be installed before.
    I ran etre check, this is the report that came up:

    Basically I'm wondering if anything sticks out in this report. I was thinking it could be a possible hard drive failure. I know my computer has been dropped on the floor at least a few times. Thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for your patience.

    Eab, I feel your pain! I am replying simply to share my similar ongoing experience with my early 2011 17 inch MacBook Pro, running Mavericks with seeming ample hard drive space, [applications requiring less than 100GB, about 200GB data (total drive space of 500GB)] & 4GB RAM. (Disclaimer: I am not a wise or computer-savvy mac guru - simply a fellow traveler who has had a very similar set of problems - apps taking forever to load, rapid battery depletion & super overheated MacBook.  While I am a Genius Bar groupie, getting to the Apple store is, for me, akin to an antarctic polar expedition (i.e. problematic). Having spent endless hours struggling with a similar issue, I offer you a synopsis of my struggle/experience.
    STEPS TO DATE:
    1.Installed several memory utility programs (Daisy Disk &  MacCleanse) system
    maintenance program to regularly and thoroughly empty application caches (Adobe apps & internet browsers being tremendous hogs), identify and remove language elements and other redundant space hogs, etc.   Result: Small, but real improvement when I forced myself to perform a "scan and delete" session every second major computer run (typically about 6-8 hours in length). However, this did nothing to help the problems regularly detected when I run the Disk Utility which almost invariably demonstrates disk permissions that need to be repaired and, with increasing frequency, has demonstrated actual disk errors that require restarting and walking through a disk repair protocol. I did bring it to the Genius Bar where they kindly reinstalled Mavericks which they could do in about an hour versus the several hours that doing this at home requires.  This did identify that my RAM was, on fact, a limitation on the speed at which I could run certain apps.
    2. My next move was to install an additional 4GB of RAM. I bought the new RAM on eBay for about $90 because, with 3 kids equipped with MacBooks & iPhones, I simply couldn't afford the official Apple RAM. I even installed it myself, with the help of a YouTube video. Result: Giant improvement in speed (starting up or switching apps. If I had realized how simple it turned out to be, I would have done it well over a year ago. Some minor improvement in the overheating problem, but persistent problems with disk permissions continually requiring repair and periodic disk repairs (using Disk Utility) required.
    PLANNED FINAL INTERVENTION:
    3. I am purchasing and installing a solid state drive (ssd) and simply chucking the original hard drive, after considerable discussion with my savvier mac friends. It has become clear to me that, sadly, every hard drive has a finite life affected by a variety of factors. I am, in fact, hard on my equipment - running multiple graphic apps simultaneously, transferring massive GBs of data between my laptop, time capsule and an array of hard drives. I will let you know how it goes, but can share that the decision to get a solid state drive followed many conversations with multiple Mac guru-types (in the hope of saving you similar painful tribulations). The cost varies according to the size of the drive, but $400-$500 would buy a reasonable starting size. I am waiting for Black Friday sales, myself. Amazon (where I will likely purchase the ssd) is already offering a number of pre-Black Friday deals.  While I don't really feel like putting out that amount of cash, I reassure myself that a new drive will almost certainly solve the disk errors (with a solid state one offering more durability) & will help me prolong the life of my MacBook Pro by a couple of years hopefully. It beats buying a new Apple MacBook only three and a half years after investing close to $3k for this one!
    I am certain that more experienced forum users could point you to software that could help defragment your drive or may be able to offer other solutions. I've simply had enough of struggling with burning thighs and head-banging behavior triggered by slow performance. I hope this is helpful to you in some small way.  The war is not yet over, but I'm feeling good about the battle plan!

  • Excessive hard drive paging on starting Safari

    When I start Safari after my imac has been turned off, it seems to run the hard drive (paging? erasing junk?) forever.  During this long interval, Safari will do nothing until the paging is completed.

    Hi Falcon_73,
    Please refer to Jason’s suggestion and check if help you to find which sql service caused this issue.
    Just addition, did you check the SBSMONITORING database? Please refer to following thread and KB, then check
    if can help you.
    Solved:
    Why is SBSMONITORING Slow/Using all my processor resources?
    The Windows SBS Console of Windows Small Business Server 2008
    may crash, display "Not Available" for Other Alerts, or require a long time to display the Security and Other Alerts statuses
    If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
