MBP extremely sluggish all of a sudden. Simple actions like closing browser results in spinning rainbow. Any suggestions.

I turned my 2010 MBP Mountain Lion, i7 8gb RAM on today and it stuck on the apple screen with a spinning load icon. I read an article that said to reinstal OS and all files should be fine. I reinstalled and now I can boot, but it is very slow. The slightest action results in spinning rainbow and usually takes several moments to confirm and execute. I verified and repaired this HD but nothing seems to be wrong. I checked and my memory is reading all 8 gig. I am at a loss. I would assume that maybe the HD is circling the drain, but don't want to fear the worst. Does anyone have experience with this issue, and could you offer advice.

Thank you for your time and help. I don't feel like this is a performance based issue like the site you suggested is geared at. My device was screaming fast prior to me closing the lid and leaving for a few hours. Free space isn't the issue, and I run a very clean machine with as little as possible running in the background to boost performance. I was just grasping at straws when I posted this. I will try a clean install tomorrow and see if that solves the issue. I was lucky thaat I was able to get most of my files off of the HD.
Again thank you so much for replying and offering your advice.

My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers.

My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers. It does this for 1 minute straight, then will stop. When I pick it up, then set it back down, it does it again.
HELP!!!

No nothing will show up on the screen.. If I push the 'home' center button it continues doing it, same with the sleep/wake button.
I thinking it may be static out of my speakers --but I don't understand why all of a sudden it is dong this. I have had no problems with this phone, until now.

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Screen on my iPhone 5 is unresponsive. Factory reset, and everything. No light at all, nothing. I can still use Siri to do everything though. Any suggestions?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists

My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet. Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
Any advice is appreciated!

Melophage,
I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

Macbook PRO 2009 running extremely slow all of a sudden

Hello, I have been encountering recent problems regarding my macbook pro 15" from 2009. All of a sudden it became extremely slow and spinning beach ball every time I click something. It used to be very fast it's as if something happened over night. I have already tried re formatting the whole computer and installed a new os x. I verified the hard drive that it's okay and I have already reset the pram. Would love some help please and thank you. 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.

IMac running extremely slow all of a sudden

I have a 1st generation Intel iMac (24", late 2006), which ran fine for three years but all of a sudden slowed to a crawl about a month ago. I upgraded to 3GB of RAM, but didn't see any improvement; I've run the disk utility app on the system install disk and didn't get any problems; I don't see anything in the Activity Monitor that's hogging CPU usage (although iTunes uses about 7% while playing music and 20% while playing video - considerably higher when it loads a new track into RAM); and I have 70GB free on a 300GB hard disk. I realize that this is just scratching the surface, so what else should I be looking at? For what it's worth, yes I have an HP printer, but the drivers don't seem to take up that much CPU time; and I'm still on 10.4.11, so maybe it's just time to upgrade to Snow Leopard; but either way I've been on this system (and with this printer) for a long time, and I don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden...
Thanks!

HI,
70GB free disk space could be at least part of the problem for the disk slowing down.
Try Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
Check the startup disk for errors that may need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu 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.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
How to Force Background Maintenance
One way to free up disk space...
Open Console. Select system.log then from the Menu Bar click Reveal in Finder then move that log file to the Trash. These logs can take up as much as a GB.

Thunderbird extremely slow all of a sudden

Not sure what happened, no changes to the operating system or hardware. All of a sudden Thunderbirt started to slow down; I really can't use Thunderbird any longer as it is hanging for about 10 -20 seconds after each and every command (send, move, delete, etc).
I rebuilt the database, repaired the folders, and compacted them. Rebuilding the database helped for about one day, now it is slow again.
I'm using the pop server with Yahoo, but download all messages to my hard disk, deleting them from the server. So inbox, outbox are fairly small, local files & folders are numerous.

Thanks for the link; in fact, deleting the places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wa files as per instructions did not yield improvement, but when I deleted the same for Firefox - it worked.... Now Thunderbird behaves as usual.

Mac and iPad connect to wifi, iPhone will not. I have tried all resets besides the full erase reset and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I would honestly try this. It is how to restore your phone and see if it works.

My new iphone loses it's charge to quickly - less than 5 hours, I've taken off all extra apps and turned down the brightness. Still drain rapidly. any suggestions?

off all new apps, and reduced brightness. There is still a rapid charge drain. Any suggestions?

How many calls and texts do you make in a day?
Are you on Verizon, at&t or in South America?
Do you start each day with a fully charged battery?

My iMac 27 became incredibly slow... And often the spinning wheel makes me wait ages even for simple actions (like switching desktops or just clicking the Apple logo)... What can I do ?

After a crash of one of my partitions, I reinstalled my system on another (Lion).
I've made all the updates but now everything is incredibly slow. It takes ages to have an answer (like "About this Mac" or to launch any software or utility.
I have check th hard disk and apparently, the partition is correct.
What can I do to find where is the problem ?

Tanks for the advice
Infortune télé, i cannot use thé recouvert partition bécasse I don't havé any... i havé to say I havé bruit à spécial environnement : at first I was usine Snow Leopard... And I built a Boot Camp partition... When I bought my Lion, I estimated it could be dangerous to jump straightforward to Liom, so I created a third partition for Lion and I installed it... But this was not compatible with the recovery partition !
So, when my first Lion partition crashed (I got bad block on the volume) I decided to suppress the boot camp volume qns to reinstall Lion. Fortunately, Snow was still running.
I.ve done all the other things you've adviced and things are going better... Everything works except mail : I guess I have to suppress all the mail account, repair the disk (and permission) and reconnect the mail accounts !
Cheers

Macbook Pro extremely slow all of a sudden, impossible to use.

Friday afternoon my Mac froze and after powering down and restarting, it has been extremely slow. Before now it was running perfectly. Now, it takes about 20 minutes to start up and then about another 20 minutes to load the dock and another 20 minutes to open an app, etc. It's impossible to use. I get the loading wheel between every word I type.
After running in safe mode/repairing hard drive/etc. nothing had changed. So I just decided to backup all of my stuff and try to restore it to factory settings. I erased the hardrive and set up my computer again. It's still running the same way though. Extremely slow, impossible to use.
I'm running on Mavericks 10.9.3. Is there anything I could do or could this be something like a failing hard drive?
I bought my mac about 8 months ago. I already made an appointment at the genius bar for tomorrow night but I would really really rather not have to go. The store near me is just horrible, they make up excuses to why your warranty might be void and they are just plain rude, from my experience and from what I've heard from many others they don't really know what they're doing.

tiffanyisweird,
your AHT should have been reïnstalled with the factory reset. It could well be copying the AHT to your internal disk now over the Internet.
Is that second closest store an Apple store, or an Apple-authorized service center? You might find that there’s an Apple-authorized service center closer than that second Apple store. (I’m about three hours away from my closest Apple store, but my closest Apple-authorized service center is less than two hours away.)

Snow Leopard Server running extremely slow all of a sudden!!

Hi, I'm not a qualified server technician but am currently trying my best to run a server in a Secondary School! Please help, need to fix ASAP.
So basically we've got a Mac Pro running Snow Leopard server which has become incredibly slow in the past week. Nothing has changed in our department to trigger this. Here's everything I know so far...
- If I try to log on to the admin account when "Some Network Accounts Are Available", log on will take under a minute. If I try to log on to the admin account when the light goes green and "Network Accounts Are Available" log on will take forever and eventually just crash and which point I have to just force a shutdown and try again.
- When I can log on, some aspects of the computing seems fast and other aspects are really slow. For example, a few programs open as soon as I log on no problem, however a simple spotlight search or trying to open Sytem Preferences will crash the computer completely.
- Have tried booting in Safe Mode, and everything ran fast and how it's mean to but once restarting and booting normally the problems remained.
Sorry for the lack of knowledge!!
Thanks in advance.

Your comment indicates "crash the computer"? Do you mean that OS X Server itself fails, and you have to reboot? Or that the application crashes, and you have to restart it?
The following are some general approaches toward gathering some data:
Launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities and see if there are blocks of repeating errors.
Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmess, diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
After entering an administrative password and possibly seeing a one-time informational message about sudo, you should see some network configuration information and then an indication that no changes are required, or that there are DNS or network errors.
Boot from the Snow Leopard installation DVD and run a volume verification pass using Disk Utility, this from the Utilities menu of the installation disl.
FWIW...
If the applications or OS X Server are crashing, then you're generally heard toward either a reinstallation of the software, or a hardware repair, or quite possibly a combination of the two.
Forcing a hard shutdown can lead to corruptions, depending on exactly what's going on when the power drops out; that's probably best left as a last-resort approach and one best avoided.

MBP extremely sluggish all of a sudden. Simple actions like closing browser results in spinning rainbow. Any suggestions.
