MacBook is running very slowly and keeps shutting down
My computer is painfully slow and keeps telling me that my Finder has paused. It often does this when I have multiple web pages open or when I'm using more than one application. I only use Office, Preview and Firefox or Safari - depending on which is faster that day so it's limited what I can do. It also regularly brings down a dark screen over the top of whatever I'm doing telling me to shut off my computer. There is no obvious pattern to it but sometimes it happens repeatedly so I can't use my Mac at all. I thought it might be a memory issue, but that is listed as OK. I read elsewhere that it could be that I need to update my software so I did this and deleted the cookies but there is no difference. Can anyone suggest what I can do to stop this happening?
Battery Health: Replace Now
Do what it says.
Several well-known troublemakers exist with that Mac but it is premature to do anything else until you fix its hardware.
Back up your Mac, if you have not already done so. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
Then, fix your hardware.

Hello all I have recently pulled out my 3TB Time capsule and attempted to use it to back up my all Mac network, starting with just my desktop. I gave up on it before and started using Time Machine with WD EHD's which work fine. The reason that I gave up was that the Time Capsule kept freezing and hanging and I couldn't rely on it for a back up. I have reset it to factory settings and reconnected it as per the instructions, using it to extend my network, the hub is a BT infinity setup. Anyway it looks like it is going to run, then keeps shutting down my internet connection and I suspect it is taking longer to run the backup than it should. Has anyone else had this problem or can help please?
What model is the 3TB TC??
If the computer is using Yosemite the setup of the TC needs to be right. It can also be hardware issue if you are talking about the previous gen4.
Here is a list of things that can help with yosemite.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

Macbook Pro running very slow and keep getting rainbow wheel
Dear Friends of the Forum,
I have Macbook pro mid 2010, and I'm having some issues. The computer is running quite slow when opening any program and the rainbow wheel comes up. Further, the even when trying to click on the commands, the rainbow wheel appears again and I have had to re start the computer a couple of times.
I started the computer in safe mode and it is running a bit better, but decided to run an EtreCheck. I will share the report with the forum, as I do not have the technical knowledge to completely understand it.
I would be most appreciative if you could look at it and let me know your thoughts and recommendations.
Best,
OA

Restart while holding Command R and choose Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Run repair as many time as it takes to report that no more errors were found, it will probably take two or three attempts.

Windows running very slow and doesnt shut down peoperly
I have to manually press the on/Off button to shut off the computer.
also everything seems to load very slow including windows when I start up my computer.
Is there some free software out there that I can download that might help fix my issue or maybe something I can try to help speed up my computer. I have already run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware / SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition / disc cleanup /defrag.

Only Hotmail running very slowly and errors in loading correct page
recently Hotmail havs taken a long time to load pages. Plus when a email is selected page flickers and wrong page displayed.
this is not happening with Yahoo mail. Sometimes error message such as "not responding" or "cannot complete". But only when trying to get hotmailHi Larry,
Thankyou for your reply, this is a partial answer
This server has been running for about 3 years now,
The faults started after I did an service pack update for sharepoint. I then did the manual update but the C drive then started to run very slowly and was giving disk size too low errors so I moved the SUS to a different drive but this hasnt helped. It is
still running painfully slow. Ran SBS BPA and found no faults. However ran Exchange BPA and did find faults which I have now fixed. Still have large number of errors

After upgrading to OS X Lion Aperture 3.1.3 runs very slowly and crashes
After upgrading to OS X Lion Aperture 3.1.3 runs very slowly and crashes regularly when editing and/or exporting images. Prior to the upgrade these problems did not exist - has anyone else encountered this behavior and found a resolution?
My iMac has 2GB of RAM (max RAM is 3GB according to the machine specs) and uses a 2TB external drive for the Aperture library and Time machine backups.Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately after doing the Repair Permissions and rebuilding the Aperture Library the performance has not improved.
I cleared out the cache(s) by removing all of the files in the following folders and restarting:
Hard Drive/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Library/Caches
which seems to have helped a little bit. I did notice that in my Users folder there are 111 items:
username
username 1 (then folders with the same name up to 109)
Shared
could the extra username folders be causing the performance issue? In each folder is a Library folder, in the Library folder is a Preferences folder and in the Preferences folder is a com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist file and sometimes a com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file.
Only the username 1's Library folder has the standard Caches, Fonts, Logs & Preferences folders.
Is it safe to remove the username 2 - 109 folders? If so is the creation of these folders something I can turn off? -
My iMac is running very slowly and it takes about 1 hour more to install stuff on it than my other imacs
It would help us to help you if we could have some more technical info about your iMac.
If you like, please go ahead and download, install and run Etrecheck.

Macbook Pro Running Very Slowly
Lately, my Macbook Pro has been running very slowly. The rainbow wheel keeps popping up and it takes a very long time to open windows or quit applications. Also, the computer gets really slowly even if only a few applications are open (e.g. Microsoft Word and iTunes). This problem has started recently, a few months after installing OSX 10.9.5. I don't know if this is the problem, if the hard drive needs to be cleared, some programs are taking up too much RAM, or if the computer is just getting old. Any help would be appreciated, and I have included the EtreCheck below as well.

MacBook Pro running very slowly - please see EtreCheck report
My MacBook Pro (mid 2012 model) has become very slow and unresponsive recently. Pretty much any click or command I make there is a delay, and often the coloured spinning wheel appears for a few seconds until it executes the command. Very frustrating. I know this is a popular question, but I've pasted my EtreCheck report below, s others have done. Any tips on what I should do would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
