Mavericks causing macMini early 2009 to run VERY slow
I have had Mavericks installed (from Lion) for about a week. The performance has degraded enormously. I've tried to use Activity Monitor but the new version seems unhelpful as under Lion slow performance was generally a result of memory issues. Hopefully someone has some ideas
Executor - Path: /Library/StartupItems/Executor
Executor is an old 'startup item'. Apple deprecated this way to load code back in 10.4, so it seems like a good idea to remove unless you run many 68k Mac apps?
http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/executor look for an uninstaller or removal instructions, or delete the startupitem. The RAM Usage says it is loading.
You are loading 3 different Norton kernel extensions & about 8 different Norton background tasks!
Kernel Extensions:
com.symantec.kext.internetSecurity (5.3.1f8)
com.symantec.kext.ips (3.9.1f9)
com.symantec.kext.SymAPComm (12.6.1f9)
Launch Daemons:
[loaded] com.symantec.errorreporter-periodic.plist
[loaded] com.symantec.liveupdate.daemon.ondemand.plist
[loaded] com.symantec.liveupdate.daemon.plist
[not loaded] com.symantec.nav.migrateqtf.plist
[loaded] com.symantec.sharedsettings.plist
[loaded] com.symantec.symdaemon.plist
Launch Agents:
[loaded] com.symantec.errorreporter-periodicagent.plist
[loaded] com.symantec.uiagent.application.plist
You are also running Techtool Pro, CleanMyMac & Drive Genius in the background at the 'system' level.
So the question is with all those utilities, why isn't this the fastest Mac on the planet?
I suspect your Mac is too busy cleaning itself & monitoring itself to spend any actual time on tasks you want to achieve.
Your HD looks OK in terms of space etc, no obvious bad signs. The RAM installed is insufficient for all the tasks you are running (probably all the 'utilities'). It is 'paging to disk' which reduces performance (called 'Swap used' in Activity Monitor).
CleanMyMac has a bad reputation around here because it can remove system files & cause damage.
See the threads on the topic, decide if you want to keep it (it may help you remove other apps if you are desperate & careful). If it stays on the system check for any updates to it.
Techtool Pro, Drive Genius and Norton are equally questionable - all they seem to do is use CPU & RAM on tasks that are not needed. If you must use these utilities remove them & run the maintenance tasks once every 6 months or so, just avoid giving them background tasks that will use up resources. I have happily used Macs without these tools running 24/7 for over 20 years. If they must stay, update them to the latest versions.
Update or remove the Amazon kindle app to try to fix this failed job…
[failed] com.amazon.sendtokindle.launcher.plist, otherwise delete the .plist, because the job is failing at the system level.
I would also remove the Internet plug-ins to start over with current versions as you need them.
See the more generic notes below the report to get an idea of the sections. Hopefully it will give you info to act on the EtreCheck report.

Red items are loaded at the system level
Blue items are loaded at the user level
Cleanup:
All the usual caveats apply, backup before you modify the system, delete the items (or move them to another disk or folder if you are worried about deleting the wrong thing) but ensure the originals are gone or updated.
Use the Finders "Go menu > Go to Folder…" to open the hidden ~/Library (your users library).
Reboot for the system changes to take effect.
How to find updates:
The critical launchd jobs & kernel extensions use reverse domain notation e.g.
com.logmein.hamachi.plist means look at http://logmein.com for updates (if you don't recognize it removing it may be appropriate)
In short: You want to try to update or remove all the system level items.
Startup Items: Stored in /Library/StartupItems/
Startup Items have been discontinued by Apple since Mac OS 10.4. They are responsible for making changes at a system level. Remove them all or spend time ensuring ALL related software is up to date. You need a very good reason to have anything installed in here. The developers are ignoring Apple guidelines by installing these - not a good sign.
Kernel Extensions: Stored in /Library/Extensions/
Kernel Extensions also load third party code, but they insert it into the 'core' of the OS. These can be safe, however you must ensure the related tools or apps are up to date, otherwise the system is basically built upon quicksand. Remove them all & see if the OS works better.
Launchd jobs: several types
LaunchAgents - Stored in /Library/LaunchAgents
LaunchDaemons - Stored in /Library/LaunchDaemons
User LaunchAgents - Stored in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
These are all background jobs, they are not necessarily bad, but if they are loading old code it could be doing untold damage to the performance & stability of the entire OS. Focus on the System level jobs (the ones inside /Library - the system level) also remove ['failed'] jobs.
EtreCheck gives a status on launchd jobs…
[loaded] - a running job
[not loaded] - jobs that are set not to run, basically harmless, remove them unless you plan to use the associated software (if it is up to date)
[failed] - jobs in a crashed or unknown state, it could be forking processes or using all the system resources, remove these.
User login items:
Applications and helpers that are managed inside 'Systems Preferences > Users and groups > Login Items tab'.
These are loaded at the 'User level', consider removing all of them whilst you troubleshoot. When you decide to re-add them ensure the software is up to date.
3rd Party Preference Panes: & Internet Plug-ins:
/Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Once again these items all must be up to date, or remove them from your system. If the prefpanes manage additional software use the uninstaller or see the developers site for uninstall instructions. You can also right click to remove 3rd party preference panes in System preferences
Read the list of Internet plug-ins carefully, there are often duplicate Flash player versions that won't help stability, it's just wasted space too.
Don't forget to also update Safari's extensions in it's preferences (if you have any).
You may also want to boot to recovery mode & run Disk Utiility's Disk repair & repair permissions after cleaning up. Others have reported that helps the Mac speed up.
Re-run EtreCheck after cleaning up to see if items have returned (some apps will reload the background jobs when re-opened, so either update or remove the software).
Hope that isn't too daunting, the OS should be better if there are less old items running at the system level.
Please provide more info on why you feel the need for all the utilities, if it is just for AntiVirus protection, look at ClamXAV, it's free, uses less resources, and only focuses on AV scanning.

2009 macbook running very slow with Yosemite?
After installing Yosemite there was a big change in performance for all actions on my computer. Start up, basic actions around the desktop and all applications are going considerably slower - slower than they ever have with my computer. I've changed a few of the settings, and that has helped, but it's still ridiculously slow. I haven't downloaded any MacCleaner app or anything. Can anyone help me with this?
Here's the results I got from EtreCheck:

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. 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. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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.
6. 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 section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. 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 the browser window, 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.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. 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.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. 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 don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take 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. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it 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 what happened. No harm will be done.
12. 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.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try 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.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. 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.

My Mac is running very slowly. After reading other posts I have attempted to gather more info for an easier more accurate response but not being computer savy am unsure what is helpful/necessary. The utilized space is 231.6 GB with 88.13 GB free. Memory is 2.00 GB w/ 1.25 GB free and 771.8 MB used. The kernel_task root 1.1 63 205.3 MB intel. What can I do to increase the speed and stop the spinning wheel? Thanks for all your help.

IMac (late 2009) CPU runs very slow (about half speed)
After having had troubles with performance I 've recently discovered, that Geekbench as well as Xbench return results way too low for my machine. In fact it appears results are exactly half the speed one would expect. In Xbench CPU power is about a score of 110 where I had 220 with 10.6 for example.
Now I had done an SSD update a couple of month back and this speed gain probably masked the CPU problem. I might even have damaged the small monitor synch cable during the procedure but all hardware tests (TechTool Pro 6 for example) show no problems.
I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC but to no avail. Also booting into SAVE Mode did not change the behavior. Here is my etre check profile:

Somebody posted a very similar problem, resetting SMC helped there. Running Bench I can see normal degradation when running other tasks (i.e. from 110 CPU which is max of what I can get at the moment to 80-90 when running other apps) So it really seems to be some preset which keeps the CPU from running both cores or such.
Andy -
I guess there must be more users with the same problems I have experienced with Logic X.
The program freezes even performing simple tasks such as dragging a loop into an audio track. This causes the cursor not to respond to return key reset to head for over a minute. Opening a new project freezes the file header and takes over 2 minutes to respond. Even on unrelated windows moving the mouse around causes logic tags such as 'track number' to appear in the midst of text. Extremely odd. I would certainly appreciate any remedies from the community.
Cheers
MikeDilksy, (and Joe for that matter..)
You should check other things on your system as such issues have been found to typically be related to;
Other apps running in the background, corrupted Spotlight indexes, lack of System Drive space (you should keep at least 30% free system drive space at all times), issues with OS X installations... badly written or incompatible Audio/midi drivers.. old plugin issues.. use of poorly cracked plugins/libraries.. hardware problems.. disk errors...and so on...
I can say I have been running LPX with 10.9 for the last 3 weeks during a very busy period at the studio and not had a single crash or spinning wheel or 'showstopping issue' of any kind... so the kind of issue you are seeing is not typical...
If you want to get your problems fixed, you need to do some intensive troubleshooting yourself.. Try to find what is causing the issue.. is there any pattern to it? What do your crash logs tell you? What does the general system logs in console tell you? If you just use Logic's own plugins and nothing 3rd party, does the issue continue? have you checked for updated Audio/Midi drivers and have you installed them? Have you updated your plugins? Have you done a full disk/permissions check recently? What does OS X's activity montior show when things slow down?
Its very easy to blame LPX for any issues you may have but more often than not it is found not to be a LPX issue at all... Just read through the various threads here with people having crashes etc.. and you will see what i mean... -
Early 2009 iMac is running very slow
My early 2009 is running very slow. Takes about a minute to open Safari upon start-up....even opening up folders from finder take a long time. Get the spinning beachball often. Opening websites takes 30-40 seconds sometimes....they do open eventually. I have run permissions repair from Disk Utility. Our iPad has no such problems. iMac is hardwired, iPad is wireless. I ran a report with "EtreCheck" but don't really understand what it is telling me. I have about 100GB of space left out of 300GB. Will attach "EtreCheck" report if I can figure out how!
Thanks so much for any help! Only recent changes I have made is upgrading iPhone and updating Charter Cable Security Suite.

Mar 13, 2015, 11:37:52 AM /Users/[redacted]/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Safari_2015-03-13-113752_[reda cted].crashI am having the same issue. I am going through some of the things listed above. When doing the Go To Folder portion of the Adware tutorial none of those files existed on my iMac. I will do the rest but was wondering if you can see any clear problems from my EtreCheck report. Thanks!

Startup and programs running very slow with Mavericks.
My late 2009 mac mini has been running very slow ever since the Mavericks install. I suspect it may be as simple as RAM capacity but I wanted to verify this assumption, as well as find out any other potential problems. I have gone ahead and run EtreCheck, here are the details of the output, thanks in advance:

And unless you actually have a BlackBerry you should get rid of the software that is running on your Mac for it. -
I upgraded to Yosemite and computer running very slow. It is an older iMac 2009. if I cant get it running faster I will have to downgrade os or upgrade ram. Is there something else I can try? Here is scan of computer:

My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (3.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. I don't know how to copy the pie chart so it shows on here but here's what it says right now:
Free - 176 MB
Wired - 592MB
Active - 843MB
Inactive - 432MB
Used - 1.82 GB
VM size - 198GB
The page ins and page outs have 0 bytes/sec in the parenthesis even though the numbers are so high.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper! -
Myfi is running very slow, what can cause this?
Myfi is running very slow, what can cause this?
Either a service problem in your area or a glitch/hardware problem on the Jetpack.
To determine service problems simply travel to a different area and rerun your speed test. If the problem persists then its a glitch/hardware problem on the Jetpack. If not then its a service problem in that particular area that would need to be addressed by VZW or improved with the usage of antennas/boosters.
When performance testing be sure to use a tool that is universal to better illustrate the problem. For example a common utility is to speed test using www.speedtest.net. Run this test a few times to build an average and then perform the same tests in a different location or after changing something around. -

Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.
Since I installed Mavericks, my safari browser is running very slow.
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference? -

This step WILL NOT SPEED UP YOUR SYSTEM, but you need to have at least one backup method for your system. Is your system being backed up at work or at school? Without at least one backup method, you're constantly in danger that a sudden hard drive failure will cause you to lose everything. If you do not have some kind of current backup (school, work, or on your own using Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, or other backup program to an external hard drive, then please don't attempt anything until you get one and have at least one or more complete clones or several Time Machine backups of your system.
2.CleanMyMac2 is NOT helpful software. If anything it makes your system much more unstable and slower than it was before:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5061639?tstart=0
Follow the developers instructions to remove it: http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2 Simply dragging the app to the trash does NOT remove it. Carefully removing CleanMyMac2 might restore SOME of the performance you seek.
3. You have just 2GB RAM memory. That's not enough for good performance with OS X Mavericks. This is illustrated by the 843MB of 'Page-outs' shown in your EtreCheck. That means that the computer is writing the contents of active RAM memory to the hard drive.

535 MB Active RAM

2GB RAM was was OK (though not great) to run OS X 10.6, but OS X Mavericks 10.9 really needs at least 4GB RAM, and 8GB RAM would offer somewhat better performance that 4GB.
Macintosh computers are notoriously 'picky' about RAM memory specifications. OtherWorldComputing (www.macsales.com) and crucial.com are two trustworthy vendors of RAM memory that works reliably in Macintosh computers.
Though not indicated by the EtreCheck report, one additional possibility is that your hard drive could be in the early stages of failure. That would also slow things down, and is yet another reason to be certain you have backups of your irreplacable files.
