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.
I'm trimming the report back to the items I think are worth looking into…

Random notes:

You need to do less with this system or it will always be slow…
You have CleanMyMac installed -> com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.Agent.plist, this is know to delete system files & can also cause system instability. See the cleanmymac threads if you need help deciding if you want or need it installed.
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?q=cleanmymac
Personally I think it should be removed since it won't help diagnose the issues you currently have.
http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2
You also have SIMBL - net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist, this is a 'system level hack' that can alter everything in the OS. Remove it.
http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php
You should also delete the plugins from the folders listed on the above page.
You also have a lot of items that open during login - remove all of them to stand a fighting chance of opening the Finder & cleaning things up.
There is a very simple test to see if all the startup & background jobs are the issue - boot into safe mode.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
If the Mac suddenly appears better it is because all the third party apps are disabled. Some things won't work in safe mode - this is normal just reboot to get the features back.
'Memory Clean' is also running - you really shouldn't be 'cleaning' memory. The OS knows what code & files it needs to access, if you 'clean' them it simply will need to reload them later. It will cause more slowness than it solves. Mavericks is designed to handle memory better than any previous Mac OS, please don't assume you can do a better job.
Clean up by following…
Kernel Extensions:
Inside /Library/Extensions/
These 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 look at '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.
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).
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).
If all of this seems like too much work consider erasing & reinstalling a clean copy of 10. The OS will run much better without years of old junk software trying to do too many things in the background. Just avoid installing too many utilities like CleanMyMac, SIMBL, Memory Clean - they do more harm than good IMO.

Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Video is running slow in my macbook
My macbook has been running slow when playing videos. I have ran Onxy to do some cleaning but no other software installed for this purpose. what can i do to speed up my system.
How much free space do you have on your hard drive? How much RAM is in your MacBook? Increasing either or both of these may help you.

Safari and Google Chrome running slow on my MacBook
Hi there!
Over the last couple of weeks Safari (and Google Chrome) have started running very, very slow on my MacBook(I own a MacBook white, OS X version 10.6.8). I didn't install anything new over the last few months, so I don't think that is the problem. My Wi-Fi has been checked and that's not the problem either. Also, I emptied my cache and reset Safari, yet nothing seems to help.. Sometimes I even have to Force Quit Safari because it just stops working all of a sudden and it blocks my whole computer for over a minute. Anyone out there that can help me?Except for Facebook?
Try the following:
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
Mavericks runs slow on MacBook Pro 2010
A couple of weeks ago, I installed Mavericks OS X on my 15" MacBook Pro. Since then, it is running very slow: applications start up very slow, I often need to force quit them and Chrome is working extremely slow lately. I did an EtreCheck on my laptop in the hope that anyone could help me...

Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
I have a early 2011 MacBook Pro 17", 2.2 GHz i7, 16gb RAM, and I have installed Mavericks OS.
After the upgrade, I find that my Mac is running pretty sluggish and slow, definitely not your typical Apple product. While view my photos through Finder, I find that each photo I select in sequence, the preview is getting slower and slower to open. And, eventually, when I select another folder in Finder, Finder will lock up for a few seconds to at least a minute (maybe even longer) and I get the little rainbow wheel (rollie pollie). And this has been getting worse every day.
I went to the disk utility (command-r) and performed a disk repair, and there were several issues that it repaired, but it didn't make any difference when I went back to view my photos. I ran EtreCheck and it gave me this:

Not sure of what the problem could be, third-party software, or something else. I am thinking about doing a clean install, (i.e, erasing HD and re-installing Mavericks) but I would totally hate to do that since it will take all day to back-up my stuff and than do the re-install. (BTW, what format should I chose when I erase my HD?!?)
Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!The official name for the rollie pollie is the SBBOD (the spinning beach ball of death).
I don't see a lot that is suspicious from the EtreCheck report, except for
[failed] [email protected]list
I would suspect that the problem is either that or with one or another of the third party items you have.
The trouble with just doing a clean reinstall, is that you don't know what is causing the problem, and if it's one of those third party items you could just be reinstalling the problem again.
Here's what I'd try:
I'd try and find that .plist file and delete it. It wasn't on my mac so it sounds like it's from something you've installed. Mavericks has changed the way .plist files are handled and some of them are cached. Usually if there'a a plist file problem you can just delete it and restart and a new, uncorrupted plist file is generated; but this is not the case any more. I've been looking for answers for this and so far I have not found any definitive answers for this general problem (errant .plist removal).
a safe boot would confirm your suspicions about a third party app causing the problem. Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
then trial and error to find the one causing the problem.
before a clean reinstall, I'd just try a reinstallation over your current install, which can often fix the problem. -
Premiere CC running slow on my macbook pro
So I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro and Premiere CC is running pretty slow (if there any effects at all on the timeline). And it's exporting slow. I've got a
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB video card. I have 8 GB of RAM (Maxed out). And my processor is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7. It's supposed to be able to handle this and it's not. I have the Maverick OS. And I've updated to the 7.2.1 update for premiere (which I've heard has caused problems?). I'm considering getting an iMac so I don't have to deal with this! Help!This is my experience as well. Aperture is somewhat snappy at first then, over time, slows down and becomes very sluggish.
I'm currently using "only" 1 GB of ram and am considering adding a second gig. But your experience seems to indicate that 2 GB of ram does not resolve the situation.
What file sizes are you working with?
I'm primarily working with file sizes of 60 to 70 MB.
Wondering if Aperture, in general, has trouble handling larger file sizes.

Why is my internet running slow on my macbook pro?
About a month ago I hooked up a router for me and my fiancees to use our laptops. She has a pc and I have a macbook pro. Everything was working fine, but for the past week, the internet on my mac has been running painfully slow. Her internet is working just fine, but mines is almost non-existent. I plugged the modem directly into my mac to see what happened and it worked fine then. But when i hooked up the router again it essentially stopped working again. In lamen's terms how can i fix this?
You tacked on an inactive thread. Post your own topic and supply more detailed information to get help.
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Aperture running slow on my macbook Pro
Hi,
I have a 2.0 GHZ macbook Pro with 2G of ram and a 7200RPM hard drive. Processing runs smoothly when I first start Aperture, but gradually, the computer starts to slow down (the CPU gauge jumps), and the computer actually pauses for several seconds. It gets to the points that the changes are no longer in real-time, that is, when I adjust the saturation (or make curve adjustments), I have wait several seconds before the changes make it to screen. There are no other programs running while Aperture is running, and the files are RAW files from my Nikon D200.This is my experience as well. Aperture is somewhat snappy at first then, over time, slows down and becomes very sluggish.

Will OS X Mavericks run on my new Macbook Pro?
[EDIT] Duplicate post - please see https://discussions.apple.com/message/22216397#22216397
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a 2.9 GHz dual-core i7 MacBook Pro this week, with OS X Mountain Lion pre-installed.
Can anyone please advise if they would foresee any issue upgrading to OS X Mavericks when it becomes available?
I already have a 2008 MacBook which cannot be upgraded later than Snow Leopard, so I want to avoid being limited again.
Any advice is much appreciated, thank you.Hello Ecomm, and Welcome to Apple's Support page!
Yes OSX Maverick WILL RUN on your Macbook Pro. It will probably NOT run on the older White Plastic Model Macbooks, but OSX Moutain Lion Will! (on specific models)
I got my Macbook Pro in December (of 2012) and I am posotive OSX Maverick will run on the new Macs with OSX Moutain Lion or Lion installed. -
Osx mavericks running on early 2008 macbook
And again....Apple has left older (Early 2008) macbook's off the update chart for the new OS X Mavericks... Their isn't a thing wrong with my macbook why should I upgrade to another? I want the software, I'm gonna say it....I'm sorry...I love my Apple but even PC's are capable of running different OS for years and years and years. Most of them if they do need to upgrade its just their memory enhanced. You should be Better then the competitor apple!
Hopefully I'm incorrect and OSX Maverick will be capable (doubt it since Moutain Lion wasn't)

Mavericks running slow... re-install Mavericks?
Hey guys, I've been running Mavericks since it was released last year. I've noticed my reboot time is very long and any time I need to load an app it takes a really long time. I'm sure it's because of the hard drive: I've run 'Repair disk permissions' and 'Verify Disk' in 'Recovery Mode.
I've been using this Mac Mini since April 2012 when I first bought it and I haven't wiped the drive since then.
If I re-install Mavericks using my external USB drive that's running Time Machine, will I still get the same slowness I'm experiencing now?
Please help meProbably.
I'm sure it's because of the hard drive: I've run 'Repair disk permissions' and 'Verify Disk' in 'Recovery Mode.
Please explain what you did and what resulted from doing it.
Explain what you are proposing to do. Reinstalling Mavericks doesn't require a Time Machine backup, but reinstalling your essential software and other files will. -
Maverick runs slow.. the following solution work for me
Launch Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo nano /etc/auto_master
Enter an admin password when requested, then find the line that says “/net -hosts ….” looking something like this:
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
Use the arrow keys to navigate to the front of that string, and then place a # (pound sign) in front of the / to signify that it has been commented out, it should now look something like this:
#/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
The modified /etc/auto_master file should now look like this, the #/net has been highlighted:
Now hit Control+O to save the file, then Control+X to exit out of the nano text editor and return back to the command line.
Now you must flush the automount cache, so type the following command string:
sudo automount -vc
Now you should be good to go, so exit out of Terminal and try to access any Open, Save, or Export dialog box window again. The slowness should be gone completely, and you’ll be back to speedy file interactions through the dialog windows as expected.
This bug has been encountered and reported enough that we can assume a solution from Apple is likely to be due in a future OS X Mavericks update, be it 10.9.1 or otherwise. If you do use this automount workaround, remember to remove the # from the /net entry in auto_mount if and when an official bug fix arrives from Apple.Thank you.
I am not going to try again with 10049.
I tried using the Install.esd from RecoveryImage folder and it busted my Win10TP partition claiming I did not have enough space to finish. I had 13 GB available at the time, and I had less than that when I did the same thing on 10041before they released
the ISO.
In the process, I had to remove the dual boot Win10TP partition, recreate a new partition, clean install 10041with the ISO , then upgraded back to 10049.
I had enough excitement for a while.
One last comment I would like to make......
MS has been warning us about using the beta version and said something like it is only for testing by computer well-versed users.
However, I would like to submit that for every
computer well-versed user, there are 10 who are just "regular" users. Just read the threads in these forums and you have the proof. Most of them do the straight upgrade via WU. Some wouldn't know where to find the ISO or the Install.esd.
We have this Dism /SFC issue since build 9841. SFC in particular is commonly used by all users, more so by "regular" users. Sfc is their basic, and sometimes the only, app to fix things.
MS should have it fixed by now ..... for majority of Win 10 TP users. No excuse they sit on their hands. -
Mavericks Running Slow and Hanging Hourly
As the title describes, my mac has slowed down since the installation of Mavericks and every hour it hangs for a minumum of 3-12 minutes. Typically, on average, it hangs about 6-10 minutes to be more precise. It didn't hang like this pre-Mavericks so I am looking for any help and insight anyone can provide as I am encountering between 6-10 hours of lost work time weekly as I wait for the hang to complete.
