Macbook Running Very Slow All of a Sudden
In the last couple of days, my macbook has started loading things very slowly. This is not an issue with the internet, but opening applications and sometimes it seems as if the computer can't even keep up with my typing. I have searched older posts on this topic thoroughly and I haven't been able to solve the problem yet. I have run Leopard Cache Cleaner and Onyx to no avail. My activity monitor says that something called Agent Daemon is taking up 9.10% of my CPU. What is that? Help Please!
HI,
Checked free disk space lately? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
Boot from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in 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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Macbook Pro running very slow all of a sudden
Hello, my mac has suddenly started running extremely slow. It sits on the grey screen on start up for about 10 mins and i get the spinning wheel constantly when using through the day. it is also running extremely hot when in use and the fans are almost always on full power. ive cleaned some room on it and checked the fans for lint and dust. programs sometimes just shut down also. i read in other posts to run a etresoft report as that can help identify problems so here are my results. any help would be excellent thanks.

Macbook is VERY slow all of a sudden
Hey all,
Hope some of you will be able to help me out with this one...
I have a regular macbook (2008) with OS X 10.6.8 installed on it. 2 nights ago, I was watching some YouTube videos when, with no warning, boom, it turned off. I thought it might have turned off because the power cord was unplugged but there was no warning of that (when it usually goes to around 20% battery). So after thinking what the problem could have been, I turned it back on. Everything was fine, but to my surprise, there was still 33% battery left... Hmmm. So I figured that I would just go to sleep then and there, so I turned on some music to fall asleep to, and it played fine for about 30 seconds then it stoped. So I checked the screen and the spinning color wheel thing was spinning. Everything was frozen . I tried restarting it and it took forever to boot up so I turned it back off and went to bed. The next day, everything was still the same (running really slow and freezing). I checked the activity monitor when I was running one application (Safari) and it said that no huge ammount of CPU % was being used eventhough it was really slow. I tried starting it in safe mode, and the boot up time took around 45 minutes. Rediculious.After finnaly geting on to my desktop, I tried looking at the startup disk in the system prefrances. It was so slow I turned the computer back off. I tried reseting the PRAM and the NVRAM. No dice. I suspect that the Hard Drive may have failed.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.Hey all,

Macbook Air very slow all of a sudden
I bought a Macbook air end Feb - 1.6Ghz and 80GB. I also have XP with 40GB HD partitioned.
I have installed Norton 360 for my windows partition.
After the 1st month which was great, I now find the performance very slow if I have powerpoint and word and excel open along with safari.
Is there something I can do to get back to the great speed one had earlier?HI,

i have install new hard drive 500gb and i still have 400gb available but my macbook run very slow getting rainbow all the time on screen.
need helpFirst boot into recovery and select Disk Utility>First Aid and repair the disk.
If there is no improvement, perform a Safe Boot:

If there is an improvement, then third party applications are probably the cause of the problem.
Ciao. -
My mac is running vert slow all of a sudden
I reinstalled 10.7.4 last month with a clean install today my mac mini is very slow all of a sudden. I have made no changes and have not installed any software since the clean install. When I click on anything the mouse cursor becomes the rainbow circle for 1.m16 seconds (sorry tried to give you guys exact info but i only measured it once:)
What i tried up to now:
I tried to boot the mac with cmd r and reinstall. However the moment it connects to the internet the mothing happens i let it run for 2.5 hours and the blue bar did not even give me 1% (my internet on my mac air has no problems.
I checked disk utility and checked disk permissions and repair disk. both no problems
I ran activity monitor and here is the info.

Macbook running very slow - just started, HELP
Hello,
My MacbookPro just recently started running very slow, even doing simple tasks it runs slow. Was working perfect Sep. 8, 2014. Turned it off for the night, then turned it on the next morning and it took about 5 mins just to even turn on. After it finally turned on EVERYTHING just started running opening the internet, Word, Power Point, and even iTunes was running slow. The songs were literally stopping every 30 seconds. My Mac has worked perfect and all of the sudden BAM. I use it for school all the time so its kind of stressing me out. It keeps freezing up as Itype this message unfortunately.
I ran Etrresoft like most ask here are results:
NOTE** - I deleted Hamchi awhile back, i am unsure how to get rid of it because i don't know where to find it, i thought i had deleted everything.

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 except as stated in this comment, 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. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be 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.
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. -
Running really slow all of a sudden
what could be the problem. all of a sudden it is running very slow and occasionally even Finder is not responding. is there a disc clean up or something that i could run to help clear up this issue?
Derek,
Open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder, and let us know what process is hogging your CPU.

Macbook Running very slow lately
My Macbook Pro has been running very slow as of late. Takes awhile to open programs and often has the beach ball for just simple tasks. I ran an Entrecheck as well but not sure what most of it means or how to fix it:

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️In the actual situation you have much too low Ram (much to much PageOuts), and to little free space on your disk.
But that may be better after taking out some softwares:
1. in SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems remove all entries, with the minus sign underneath.
This does not uninstall anything but just prevents that these apps always run.
Then Restart, this should help already, but before you start any app, do following:
2. Uninstal the Android software it is not compatible and/or not necessary: lots of issues in Yosemite.
3. Stop using Chrome for the time being and (in case you do not want to use Safari) use either Firefox or Opera: both are fast and safe and are not resources eaters like Chome. I propose to uninstall Chrome.
4. I think that you did not install Java after the Yosemite install, but that it was already on your computer. You should search here (forum) for the install of the correct Java install (if you need it, otherwise disable it in the Applet).
5. I am not 100% sure but I seem to remember that Director Shockwave causes issue, so you could uninstall it.
6. Delete the AdobePDFViewer plugin from MacintoshHD->Library->InternetPlug-ins.
7. Also the Valvesoftware Steamclean seems to cause issues in Yosemite. uninstall.
8. I am not familiar with motorola.moto, but it looks as if it is rather incompatible with Yosemite.
RESTART.
See if this helps.
Free up some space on the HDD, by hand !, do not use tools or cleaners !
If you do not see any better behaviour, start in the SafeMode, and see if you have the issues there also. If not we have to find some more culprits.

My macbook pro became very slow all of a sudden?
I just bought a used macbook pro early 2012. It was all restored and nice when I got it. It has worked perfectly for about a week and then I don't know why, but all of a sudden it became very slow in every aspect; Booting, opening apps, even surfing on the web became slower and laggy. It also seems like it has a battery problem when it is in standby. Because it uses a lot of power. Actually so much that it might go dead just by standing for a few hours. Is there anything I can do?
In regards to the battery situation, try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Is there a change?
When you got the MBP, was Mavericks the installed OSX? What you may have to do is boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys. This will connect you to the Apple servers and allow you to erase the HDD and install the original OSX that the MBP came with. This sets up the MBP to your Apple ID and will permit you to install any appropriate updates accordingly. You may then download and install Mavericks from the App Store.

Specs for my laptop are: 2.8GHz Intel core 2 duo, 500GB HD, 8GB Ram and it's from 2009. No recent applications were installed.
