Imac super slow and hangs up-erasing HD and loading OS X Mav
Greetings,
My trusty Imac has never had an issue and after 12 hours of trying different options in support I am going to.clean the HD and install OS X Mag. I have no idea if this will even solve the issue, but that is how desperate I am.
I'm assuming this should be somewhat straight forward from.what I have read? If this does not fix it ingress I have to.assume my HD is going bad?
It all.start when I removed CleanMyMac.
1. I've done the disc repair permissions, virus check, and all other basic procedures. Deleted tons of.files after backing up--music, videos, pics. Took of.programs.not needed.
6 years and never and issue. Not bad.
Do you have an external drive? I suggest you try to clone your drive to save your data or use the external to do a clean install of OS X so you can boot from the clone then wipe the internal drive.
Do you have the original install CDs. Can you download OS X from Mac App Store?
You can try running OS X over your current install from the Recovery Drive to see if that helps.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Select Reinstall OS X.

IMac super slow and now will NOT boot up
My iMac G5 (non-intel, non-isight) has been slow for a few days. I've tried to isolate it to an application but couldn't really find anything. We didn't install any new applications before it started slowing down.
So I ran software update, installed 10.4.8, shut down, and then it never restarted! It goes to the gray screen with the Apple mark and the little circle loading indicator. But it gets stuck there.
Apple Care is closed for the weekend so I need help. Help!To Apple Discussions!
Which model G5 iMac with no isight?

Brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise
My brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise. Any suggestions? I have a lenovo X120e, purchased it around 2 months ago but due to moving across the country just started using it, not so happy so far but I would be happier if it would speed up a bit. Every click takes a while to register especially during browsing on the internet.
Can you run the ThinkVantage Toolbox's HDD diagnostics?
Alternatively, try HD Tune's error scan and check it's SMART page for warnings.

Hi, JoseN33.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try the steps in the first article below and see if that resolves your data issue. However, with some carriers settings need to be manually entered in order to access their cellular data network. The second article will walk you through that process.

lightroom mobile syncing is super slow and stop for no reason. cannot resume syncing. no idea with the progress of syncing. cannot sync the original file from mobile into desktop. stuck and cannot process any further.
Hi. Did you trigger a delete data via LR preferences ->Lightroom mobile.
I'm not seeing a catalog connected to your account.
Did you import originals via the connection-kit?
Thanks

IMac getting slower -and Im getting more frustrated!
Like others it would appear.... I am finding my iMac is getting slower and slower with each day that passes since upgrading to Mavericks. It is slow to open and close apps. Slow to open mail. Often hangs with the little ball spinning forever and I have to hold the start button to shut down. I've even noticed that simple scrolling jumps all over the place as it is slow to respond. iMessage is often up to 4 minutes behind! I noticed that others have used EtreCheck which has been helpful to those 'in the know'. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have no diea what's what! Thank you.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
B.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.
C.
"BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is incompatible with Mavericks and should be removed.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
Brand new iMac: super slow web browsing
Brand new iMac is super slow while browsing the web.
We have cable internet, and the iMac is connected via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme router. We have a Windows machine connected to the same router.
The Windows machine loads web pages extremely quickly, the iMac takes 20 seconds to a minute to load anything.
Clearly there is a settings problem on the iMac. No idea what.
It isn't the router.
It isn't the broadband connection.
It isn't the DNS server.
Please help!I'm not sure if you understood my original post, however, I will re-iterate it here.
I have several machines connected to the same network.
MacBook Pro
Windows machine
iMac.
Only the iMac exhibits any problems.
Clearly, the ISP is not the issue. The iMac is connected via Ethernet to the same router as the PC.
Clearly the Mac is the problem.
Changing DNS server has no effect. -
In the last few weeks my iMac has become super slow. Lots of spinning beach balls. Reinstalled Mavericks. Used Disk Utilities to verify and repair permission and verify disk. OnyX to clean up some issues. Minimized start Login items. Cleaned up old apps I wasn't using. Emptied Trash. Only one item on Dashboard.
Installed Etrecheck and have included the output. I'm hoping someone can help me out, before I do a clean install.
EtreCheck version: 1.9.15 (52)

Upgraded to Yosemite. Super slow and ReportCrash constantly running...
I upgraded to Yosemite the other day and my iMac (2011) is running super slow. I've done the whole PRAM reset, the SMC reset, the boot into Safe Mode, the Repair Disk and Permission from Recovery Mode, turned off File Vault and Transparency, etc. and it's still pretty slow. But I did notice in both Activity Monitor and Console that ReportCrash is constantly running. It didn't run in Safe Mode, but even in Safe Mode the computer was equally slow, especially with Safari. I'll paste some of the Console logs below in case someone can tell me what's going on. My other question is: should I do a clean install or just roll back to Mavericks, since the features I wanted (Handoff and SMS Messages) don't even work with Yosemite on my iMac. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

IMac running slow and frequently crashing since installing Mavericks. Any useful info in this log?
Since installing Mavericks some time ago, applications have become slow to open, proccesses have slowed and, well, eveything has slowed down some. Also, almost every day, sometimes more than once, the iMac will freeze for a second, then reboot itself. I've tried searching for similar posts but haven't found an answer yet.

Here's a small section:

Thanks in advance for anyone's insight!Ok, so I think I got rid of everything you suggested, Arthur. No real improvement in speed, but the computer's four and a half years old, so... I should just be satisfied if it doesn't crash every day. That would be an improvement. I'll have to wait a few days to see. I've run Etrecheck again just incase you see something else that might help. Thanks.

I've been using Thunderbird as an IMAP client for Gmail for about 2 years without any problems. Three days ago I saw for the first time the following message at startup: "Unable to load address book file abook-9.mab. It may be read-only, or locked by another application. Please try again later." Subsequent restarts produced the same message, except the abook number would change to abook-12, abook-10, abook-7, etc. Eventually I gave up and continued using Thunderbird. Performance was suddenly super slow. When I tried to move a message from the Inbox to a folder, the message didn't move; I tried twice more, nothing. So I went to look at the folder, and I got the dreaded message (I'm sorry I don't recall the exact wording) "Unable to access local folder [folder] - [something other possible reason] or your hard drive may be full". But if I would just leave this folder selected, eventually the contents would appear. I tried downloading all my folders for offline use, but after an hour or so they all disappeared. Fortunately, I didn't panic; a few minutes later, they started appearing again. The folders were still present in my local directory, but their contents were all gone: The size of my Mail directory went from 3.85 GB to 107 MB and never fully recovered.
So I went online and started searching. I deleted all the .msf files. Same behavior. I deleted the SystemConfiguration folder on my MacBook. Same behavior. I restored my Profiles and Mail directories with their backups from the day before the trouble started. Same behavior.
And just as I was about to start screaming, I restored the Profiles and Mail directories with their backups from 2 weeks before the trouble started. So far things appear to be going well.
I looked at bug 495911 and bug 893786, but I had already tried most of the things people suggested, so I decided to open a new question. One thing that caught my eye is the recommendation to replace the potentially corrupted file 'panacea.dat' with an earlier version. Is it possible that the 'panacea.dat' file from the day before the problem started was already corrupted and that's why I had to go back to 2 weeks before?
Fortunately, none of the folders or messages were deleted on my online Gmail account (as far as I can tell), but this has definitely been a very frustrating experience...Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled.

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode.

IMac getting slower and slower....
I've had my iMac for just under a year and recently it has seemed to be getting slower and slower and more buggy. Today GoLive CS2 refused to launch. No error code, just bounced in the dock and then stopped. My Finder keeps "not responding" when I am opening a folder on my harddrive. I've had problems with external firewire drives, it's just getting frustrating, and it's been getting worse over the last week or so... Also I've been having font problems too... I haven't installed a massive amount of fonts, but all of a sudden it's telling me it can't find "Arial TT" when I open InDesign I've repaired permissions, zapped PRAM, and I'm performing the hardware test as I type this (on my PowerBook). I've used Macs for many many years and consider myself a pretty advanced user so I'm not thinking this is user error. Has anyone else had similar problems?? I don't use a bunch of third party junk software on here, it's basically apple apps, and the Adobe CS2 Suite. I maxed the RAM with Crucial RAM when I first got it, so all that should still be good. Help? Suggestions? I know I could always wipe it and start again, but unfortunately at this moment I don't have enough external HD to back everything up to do this...
iMac G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)947/3393
Hi rorydale,
Speaking of "not enough external HD to back everything up":
You know that Mac OS X needs a lot of free space on the boot drive, like at least 10%-15% free space?
Along with RAM, that's the only thing Mac OS X cannot do well without.
Then,
before starting a good read of this article and its excellent links:
- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25392
I would make sure some regular maintenance is performed, just to take a safe start.
1) Nightly "periodic" maintenance tasks:
Open Terminal and paste this command:
sudo sh /etc/daily
hit enter, password, enter, wait until you see the prompt again.
OK now this one:
sudo sh /etc/weekly
(this one takes a long time, especially if you never ran it. You can use your computer while it is running, but do not quit Terminal)
Then, this one:
sudo sh /etc/monthly
Again, wait for the prompt to reappear.
2) Run Preferential Treatment, delete the corrupted .plist files if it finds some.
3) Run a Disk Repair with Disk Utility from the Tiger install DVD (menu Utilities).
4) Permissions Repair of course (from the boot volume, not the install disc)
5) Fonts can get problematic. I would trash Fonts caches too. Read about Fonts also in the Troubleshooting KB articles...
6) Users caches can be cleaned just to make sure. You'll see later if you still need to tinker the system and kernel caches.
That's for a start, let us know how it goes...

IMac seems slow and lots of spinning balls.
I have a 3 yr old iMac that has been acting very slow and gives me lots of spinning balls. The HD is still 1/4 empty.
What is the best way to trouble shoot this problem?First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
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. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (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).
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.
Reset the System Management Controller.
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.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
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 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?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes 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 (command-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.
