Mac stalls and runs slow in basement

Our iMac worked fine in the kitchen when it was plugged into the modem. We remodeled and put the iMac in the basement as a wireless. It runs really slow (takes 5-10 minutes to get to site) and stalls. I bought an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express thinking that would take care of the problem...it didn't. What can I do?

As seventy one says, an ethernet connection may be best. If running an ethernet cable from the router to the basement is not easy, you can look at using PowerLine ethernet adaptors, that will use your homes electrical wiring to route the ethernet signals from the router to the basement.
You could try moving your WiFi router to a location which is closer to the basement location for the iMac, even as an experiment to see if that improves WiFi reception.
I assume the Airport Express was being used as a WiFi extender. Choose a location for the Airport Express that is half way between the Airport Extreme and the iMac, so that the Airport Express has a better chance of getting strong signal, and then retransmitting a strong signal to the iMac. Experiment with different Airport Express locations both on the same floor as the Airport Extreme and in the basement.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

My wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.
Lupunus
PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

My Macbook Pro (early 2011) has 4 gig of memory and is using all of it and running slow.

My (early 2011) MacBook Pro has 4 gig of memory and is using all of it and running slow. I am planning to double memory, but any ideas about why it's using all that memory? (Yosemite 10.10.2).

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

My mac mini is running slow, does anyone have any advise?

My mac mini is running slow, i didn't doe anything strange, don't play big games ore things like that. Does somebody have a clue?

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Hello Kate,
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
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.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Why is my mac os x running slow and freezing, also the beach ball keeps spinning?

My mac os x is running slow, and or freezing. The beach ball keeps spinning. I tried re-booting several times and eventually went back to normal and then back to the problem again. Any ideas?

Keep bootable clone backups and use those to test with.
Repair your drive of course, Disk Warrior if you have that.
Then do a Safe boot the first time when you reboot to it.
corrupt files, caches, even a bad USB cable can cause trouble.
If the clone works, then reformat and restore.
And make sure your free space is 30% or more on your boot drive.
Off load media data files and such off the boot drive as well.
If and when it freezes, I've found Disk Warrior repair and rebuild of directory does help, not sure why. but after a hard drive your disk directory will be corrupt (damaged) and in need of more than just a simple reboot or even Safe boot to fix.

Mac not booting/running slow as molasses

Alright. This is going to be a large and multi-scope question, so please bear with me, everyone.
Here are the (general) specifications of my MBP:
Mid-2012 15.4" MacBook Pro
500GB HDD, 4GB of RAM (I believe)
OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)
Now, for the questions. The two are chronologically related; I believe also in other ways related as well. In order of what happened:
1. My machine (what I'm typing on now; I'll get to that later) has been running slow as molasses for the past few days. We're not talking 'not as fast as when I bought it' slow, we're talking 'slow as a fully-loaded mule going uphill' slow. Things started to occur the other day, when, for the second time in this computer's existence, it was dropped. You don't need to educate me on why I shouldn't drop a computer; I know what can occur and I've accidentally dropped many other devices before, and had to suffer the consequences. The first occasion was when a friend of mine as using the machine and dropped it while walking with it. The screen was spiderwebbed (LCD fine; display glass has spiderweb cracks across it), but other than that, no real issues. The second time, about a week ago, was when it slipped off my lap onto a tile floor (not that laminate stuff, the hard grouted tile). It was in a case and the display glass only suffers minor advancement of damage (barely noticeable...still like that...as a student and working to support myself as a programmer, I can neither afford monetarily nor the downtime of having the computer sent to Apple for repair, especially for something that doesn't affect the functionality of the machine).
The next part isn't necessary to the problem description, but bears saying - I am not a novice shouting 'my computer is slow, plz help' without any description; but I am not the best user on the face of the earth. Most of my experience in my life has been on the Windows platform; the OS X operating system handles similarly enough in terms of general functions but has enough internal difference (I know this is a major understatement - they are two fundamentally different OSs) to still cause me problems when trying to perform maintenance or "power-user" tasks.
Now, back to the actual problem, the computer immediately turned off, which I found to be immediately suspicious. Upon rebooting, the computer successfully turns on and functions without issue, but is as the title and first few sentences describe, is slow as all ****. I have recently done two things to this computer (major things) which I feel could contribute to the issue, namely:
Partitioned the HDD to install Fedora 19 - I'm in the process of working on an open-source project involving an IBM SDK which requires Fedora - as I live during the week in the Bay Area and commute to and from home, I only have intermittent access to a desktop which I would otherwise use for it. The computer's speed of operating didn't seem to bat an eye at this process.
Installed two things, namely the upgrade to OS X 10.9 and Photoshop CS6, which I use to generate the GUIs for my applications (iOS development primarily).
Both of these didn't cause any issues with the speed, but after the drop, this thing handles like it has Alzheimer's. Now, I know that dropping the computer isn't a good thing; if anyone can elucidate me further to how such a thing could be detrimental I'll be the first (and only one) accepting full responsibility for it. Mostly though, it's just been an annoyance of little enough significance in terms of productivity that I could still work without it.
Which brings me to point number two:
So, in an effort to generally bring up the speed, I noticed that Fedora had created two partitions, one called 'disk0s5' or something of the like, and one called 'untitled', taking up about 30GB. I know that space can be an issue due to operating systems handling by copying data around, shuffling it, etc. but as I still have over 400GB free, I only did this as a test.
I removed the partitions (did not touch the one titled Macintosh HD...we all know what that leads to) and rebooted, which brings me to present time & day.
Might as well list this to establish a chronology:
I start the restart process, and head to the bathroom in the meantime.
I hear the startup chime.
Upon returning, the computer is off, so I know something is up, but I manually boot it to see what.
Upon the white initial boot screen, it loads a progress bar, much like the Mavericks install.
The typical spinning throbber loads and the load bar progresses to about a tenth (takes 15-20 seconds) and the computer shuts off.
Now, for me, this is bad mojo. I haven't done a full system backup on this machine (I know it's bad form, no need to educate me on this, call it the 'not wearing a seatbelt' for computing), but I know that ideally, the partition should be intact, so I intend to clone the drive to an image and back it to disk or portable HDD before reinstalling 10.9 or sending in to Apple.
For the obvious... I am on the computer and it isn't booting as of now, but I was able to get into the recovery partition via option-boot and use Safari.
Please advise. Again, I'm not a novice, but Mac OS X isn't my primary forte so you will need to break things down somewhat for me. I will provide anyone with more information upon request, if need be, limited to what I can access in the partition.
Thanks in advance,
Eli Fedele

Boot from an external system disk:
Format the external disk Mac OS Extended (journaled) running Disk Utility form the Recovery Partition.
(Boot then hold down Command and R simultaneously).
Install OS X onto that external disk.
Boot from that external disk (Boot then hold down Option).
Using the Finder drag as many folders as you can to the external disk.
As a last-ditch effort you can use recovery software to recover files the Finder will not copy.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally 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, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
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.

Mac Book Pro running slow since Yosemite

Well sine installing Yosemite, my Mac is slow. I am not impressed with the new look and feel. All the minor changes seems to make my life and Mac more difficult. I have checked my storage space and I have lots of memory to be running Yosemite. I have checked the user group settings to ensure there are no programs running at start up, which use to be instant now takes a few minutes when turning on and I have to sign into my Mac. If I knew it was going to be like this I would have just installed Windows with the hassle.
I would like Maverick back..... or any better suggestions as I am LOVE my Macbook pro with retina display and want it back to working in prime condition prior to the Yosemite.
Here as some of the issues:
Turn on time 1-2 minutes plus I have to sign in
Safari s...l.....o.....w
Most programs are slow or shut down randomly such as pages and keynote
Synching with iPad and iPhone not always quick even know everything is cloud based (i.e.. took a picture the other day on iPhone, show on iPad still not on my laptop)
Just hate the look - but I guess I can live with that... or if someone knows how to make the tool bar clear again that would be great, not happy with the white.
These are just the surface of my issues, but the speed is the main item for all programs right now.

Download and run EtreCheck http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck and post its result here. Hopefully it'll shad some light on your issue.
