Macbook so slow

My macbook started running very slow, so slow that it is pretty much unusable. Happened after yosemite was installed. Also iPhoto no longer works and I am afraid I now lost all my iPhoto pictures.
Can anyone help me, I ran an EtreCheck and this is what came up....

John...Thank you so much for helping me out. I followed all the steps you laid out in the link you provided. I really appreciated the explanation you began with...I will not make any of those mistakes again
Can you please just verify that I did everything correctly. I ran another EtreCheck report after I finished all the steps. Would you mind taking a look and seeing if everything looks ok. If you see something that looks fishy, let me know so I can get rid of it. Thank-you in advance
Here's the report....

  • Macbook running slow

    Hi,
    A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
    I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
    Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
    Thanks for your help

    Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
    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.

  • Mid 2010 macbook pro slow to sleep. No print queu issues.

    Hey everyone! My Mid 2010 macbook pro slow is slow to go to sleep. I have read several community forums and I've checked for old print jobs (which seems to be a common issue) and have found none. I've also reset all printers and jobs.  Anyways, it takes 35 to 60 seconds to go sleep (until fan/harddrive turns off/I see blinking white light).  This slow sleep occurs even with a complete fresh install of Mavericks, and even after installing a new SSD. I am honestly at a loss.
    I did the "pmset -g log" command and I have found two reoccurring things that I think might be the reason (though I don't really understand it fully). I commonly see "TimedOut InternalPreventSleep "com.apple.powermanagement.darkwakelinger" 00:00:15" commonly and "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep "Address Book Source Sync" 00:00:30".  I have bolded both of these below:

  • My macbook is slow how can I tell if I have a virus?

    My MacBook is slow starting up and slow when I am on internet going to sites.  I read somewhere that there is a adobe flash that is actually some sort of virus?  I beleive I had the pop up and hit install.  How do I fix if this is the problem?

    Adobe Flash is not a virus but Flash content is very resource-hungry. Flash developers don't know or care about your hardware or bandwidth, both of which have limitations. Buying a new computer simply so that you can look at Flash-based advertisements makes little sense to me. Just avoid sites that use Flash.
    There are no viruses for Mac OS X. Keep it updated with software from Apple using Software Update. Without a more specific description of your hardware, the amount of memory you have installed, what third party system modifications you may have made, and what version of Mac OS X you are using, it is difficult to provide more specific guidance than that.
    Read the following to determine if something may apply to your concern:
    Do not download or install any product claiming to magically "clean up" or "speed up" or "optimize" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite. If you already did, you found the problem. Fix it.
    If you're experiencing general slowdowns or "freezes" unrelated to Internet activity, the problem may be related to your computer or the software you installed and is something you may be able to fix, or at least improve. Aside from hardware failures and software that you install, including OS upgrades, there is no reason that your computer should not work precisely the same as it did when it was new.

  • HT204017 After updating to Yosemite my Macbook is slow

    After updating to Yosemite my Macbook is slow, especially iTunes

    Hi, I have also found that iTunes is really slow as well after the update. Syncing my iPhone 6 by wire can take up to 3 hours. : automatically sync when this phone is connected" is greyed out ( won't allow a tick in the box) Wifi seems to stall at 3 of 7. I'm getting quite attached to the pinwheel

  • My macbook is slow to load any software since loading lion

    Since i have loaded os Lion my macbook runs slow and programmes take a time to load how can i improve its performance.  i generally use my macbook for itunes and photos.

    My suggestion is to reinstall Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

    Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

    I am having the same issue. I hook it up to the charger in the evening and close the lid. When I go to use it the next time it takes a good 30 seconds or so to wake up. The screen shows the log in screen but typing doesn't work and the cursor is frozen. Sometimes it will even give the rainbow wheel for the cursor, so it seem like it is processing whatever to get going. I also notice that my battery won't be fully charged at anywhere from 95%-99% after being charged a full evening. What can I do to change whatever is happening because it is pretty crappy to charge it all night expecting to have a full battery for the next use, plus the issue of having to sit there waiting for it to boot every time.

  • Why is my MacBook Pro slow? Beach ball

    Boy, I was looking at a discussion of this from TODAY, about a half hour ago, and now can't find it.
    "Why is my MacBook Pro slow?" brings "screen tearing issue" and other things not related to my problem.
    I got and ran Easyfind, and got rid of MacKeeper.
    What else do I need to do?
    I have the beach ball way too often.
    I just made an iMovie, but optimizing it for YouTube is impossible.  Boxes keep getting grayed out; complete hangup.
    Can easyfind help further?
    Thank you.

    Hi Tomo 2,
    Kim Komando said get Sophos, so I did.  I see it found something called Bredo-K on Nov. 22.
    It's now scanning my OVER 5 MILLION FILES.  Seriously, I don't think I need that many.
    Right now about 50% of CPU idle,
    about 1.03 GB Ram free. 
    Sophos is using about 90% of whatever.
    This scanning could take all weekend.  I need to get rid of some stuff.  Hard to know what, though.
    Thanks for any more ideas.
    Jerry

  • Why is my Macbook so slow to open?

    Why is my MacBook so slow to start up? I've recently cleared more space on the start-up disk (currently has 49GB of the 74GB capacity), but it still takes about 2 minutes to start up from cold. Any suggestions?

    Hi Stevie,
    several thing could caused that, like a lot of application that need to be opened during start up, your default boot up destination is not your internal HD (so it will try to look to optical first, "clogged HD", etc.
    Try to optimize and repair permission in your macbook HD using ONYX or MAcHelpMate,
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/machelpmate.html
    Try to reset PRAM:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Open system preference: account : Login item and uncheck application that you don't want to start automatically.
    Good Luck

  • Why is my MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

    Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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 and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • I have macbook pro running Intel Core 2 Duo if I upgrade to Lion OS Xv10.7 will my macbook run slower?

    I have macbook pro running Intel Core 2 Duo if I upgrade to Lion OS Xv10.7 will my macbook run slower?

    I have a 13" MBP with the Core 2 Duo processor.  I do have 8 GB of memory, needed because I need to run Windows in a virtual machine (Fusion) to access client web sites that require ActiveX controls.  The Windows VM environment locks up 3 GB of the memory.
    I did all the maintenance steps in disk utility on the harddrive before upgrade, double checked compatability with all applications and drivers and made sure that I had a drive clone in addition to my Time Capsule  backup. 
    The only thing that didn't work on Lion was my RingCentral VOIP client, and that was expected from my research.
    The upgrade went smooth and I really haven't noticed much speed difference.

  • My MacBook running slow

    My MacBook runs slow. Tried "Safe Mode", not very clear effect to improve. Anyone has better idea? Thanks!

    Its a possibility there is hardware issues,
    or even adware. Bring your MB into a licensed store and run a diagnostic!
    OR
    (AT YOUR OWN RISK)
    Run a program called adware medic http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
    It will detect anything that shouldn't be there.
    You can also put your ear up to the location of the HDD (right bottom where you right hand rests) and listen if the HDD is making any strange noises or repetitive clicking.
