A few comments followed by new test results:
1) I deleted both com.macpaw.CleanMyMac files you referenced above
2) I have now restarted my computer twice since last night. both times I had to force-restart the computer. Last night, after selecting Apple --> Restart my computer essentially froze all night and never restarted. I had to force restart it this morning when I woke up. I tried to restart it again tonight after deleting the CleanMyMac files and it froze or hung again. So I force restarted it once again. I don't recall that happen ever before.
Here are my new test results:

  • Macbook Pro running slowly (EtreCheck information included)

    My MacBook Pro suddenly started performing very slowly.  I tried rebooting in recovery mode by holding command + R at start up, but nothing happens.  I have tried to perform a software update, and when I do so, it checks for updates, and asks me to restart my computer so they can be installed, but the computer just restarts and doesn’t do any software updates.  Not sure what else I can do.

    Add more RAM and reinstall Yosemite.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    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. Alternatively, 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 OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My computer is running slowly and slowly

    my computer is running slowly and slowly and the sound of fan becomes louder and louder .I suspect my computer get infected by virus

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. 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. Ask for other options.
    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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
    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.
    7. 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.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. 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.
    10. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
    11. 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 "Model Identifier." 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.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test 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.

  • My computer is running slowly now, What can I do?

    My Computer is running slowly and I do not know what can i do?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    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.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    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 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 System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    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 (command-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.

    Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
    Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
    Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
    Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
    Change the address of the other device.
    Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply.

  • Flash Player Causing Whole Computer to Run Slowly

    Everytime I go on a page that uses flash content (which is
    quite often) it causes my computer to run really slowly and I am
    constantly having to restart it. I have tried uninstalling flash
    player and re-installing it, re-installing internet explorer, and
    updating my drivers and nothing is working. I am at a loss as to
    what to do next. I will welcome any suggestions. I am running
    Windows XP with IE7. I am taking online classes that use flash
    content in some of their material, so it is very important that I
    get this problem fixed.

    Hello!
    some virus attacks through flash player. As I've got an old
    system and W98 i've only a problem with my graphic drivers.
    Microsoft gives an alert that they detect such attacks during
    june
    I'm really sorry for you, adobe refers to uses conditions and
    disclame any interest in that sort of problem. If I don't find a
    solution for me,
    1/i'll reinstall my system
    2/i'll never use flash player in the future except if they
    secure their soft

  • Since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slowly. Its slow to open and slow to download

    Hi since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slow

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    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.
    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 (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. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming 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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. 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. Ask for other options.
    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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. 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.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. 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.
    10. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
    11. 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 "Model Identifier." 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.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test 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 Slow, EtreCheck results inside

    Hi all,

    Are you running both VirtualBox and Parallels? The sad thing is that you've only 2GB of RAM - and your machine can be upgraded to 8GB which would, in your case, have a tremendous impact on the speed of your machine (I'm not certain why EtreCheck is saying that the 2GB of RAM is not upgradable).
    2GB just isn't enough to run modern versions of OS X - not even the Lion OS that you're running now. If you want more performance from your machine, upgrade your RAM. You can go to the Crucial website or the OWC website and find the RAM that's right for your machine.
    Good luck,

  • My computer is running slowly and the DVD app quits on start up

    Firefox and Facebook made my computer slow. It started with "Warning unresponsive script error, would you like to stop or continue" this happened all the time while looking at FB. Then it killed my iChat somehow. So while trying to fix iChat, it said in a forum, to delete your cache.... so I did and that made my comp. worse. Now I can't use DVD player or VLC player. They quit during start up. What can I do to fix it and get it back to playing DVD's? I can still use the internet but if I click on something it can take a long time to change tasks. Can I fix this myself or do I need to take it in?

    You are certainly welcome!
    Good job getting all of that information from your computer, as well! :-)
    Now, all of those processes that you "delete" (quit/force quit) from activity monitor should automatically restore once you restart your computer. Before a restart, however, the lack of the quitted processes should speed your computer up a bit.
    You said that your second login item was "swf desktop." .swf is a flash file (usually an animation). Do you have some software running that is giving you some sort of motionized desktop image? This is a HUGE CPU hog (I know from experience) and would greatly slow your computer down. I would recommend removing that item from your startup items list.
    I am not entirely sure what all of your login items represent, however, I do know that by default from a fresh install of Mac OS X, none should be present. I would actually advise to remove all of those items from your login items folder, unless you know more information about the items. Note: If you want any changes to take effect after removing login items, you must restart your computer and log in. 
    Clearing your RAM does not involve deleting a single bit of information from your hard drive. To clear your RAM, shut down your PowerBook, disconnect the power adapter (piece of hardware that plugs into an outlet in your wall), pull out the PowerBook's battery (If you have an Aluminum PowerBook, grab a coin of currency and use it to turn the silver disk on the bottom of the computer near the battery to the unlock icon. If you have a Titanium PowerBook, slide the slider on the side of the battery to the right and the battery should "pop" up), and wait about 10 minutes for the PRAM battery inside of the PowerBook to drain, thus erasing all RAM contents and not the hard drive information.
    It nothing seems to be helping you PowerBook, a hard drive whipe and resinstall may be the easiest route.
    As for backing up your hard drive data, I am sorry you are having errors. There are many ways to get around it, though. One way would be to boot a live CD of Ubuntu Linux for PowerPC. To do this, download the .iso file from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-powe rpc.iso. Once the download is finished, you'll need a blank CD to write the file to. To do this, open DiskUtility.app and drag the downloaded .iso file to the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window (where all volumes show up). Select the .iso file within Disk Utility and burn it to a disk. Once the process is complete, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of your PowerBook and shut it down. Once it shuts down, press the power button (top right) on your PowerBook and hold down the "C" key on your keyboard. This will tell the PowerBook to boot from watever volume is found in the CD-ROM drive (in this case, the Ubuntu Linux CD). You may be prompted to a black screen with some white text, giving you options on what to boot, as well as some information about your display. Do NOT install Ubuntu Linux, or else it will erase the contents of your hard drive. Choose the option that will allow for you to "live" boot the CD (run without installing). This will probably take a good few minutes to boot. In the event that your display does not work properly, restart, boot from the CD, but use the command where it talks about getting your display to work properly. Once you successfully boot Ubuntu Linux, click on "Places" (top left-hand corner of the desktop) and select your internal hard drive (Macintosh HD, or whatever you named the partition). You can then plug in your external hard drive, and select it from "Places" as well. With the two windows open, drag the wanted files from your PowerBook's hard drive window to the external hard drive's window in order to copy the files. Once the transfer is complete, restart your PowerBook. You shouldn't have to hold any keys down to get it to boot back up into Mac OS X but if it doesn't boot, hold down the option key on your keyboard and select your PowerBook's internal hard drive. Make sure that your files were successfully backed up before you do a reinstallation of Mac OS X.
    There are also simpler ways to back up your documents, keeping in mind that you don't HAVE to back up your documents to your external hard drive. You said (I belive) that you could still send email from your PowerBook. Can you just attach important files (possibly indvidual files at a time) and email them to yourself, which would allow you to log onto your other (properly-working) computer and download the files to it's internal hard drive? This could take quite awhile and certainly a last resort.
    Another, more-easier and effecient way, in my opinion, would be to transfer the files over your home network to your other working computer (your newly-purchased MacBook Pro). To do this, on your PowerBook, open system preferences, click the "Sharing" icon, and check the box that enables file sharing.
    Now, on your MacBook Pro on the same network, conect to your PowerBook over the network. This can be done by (on your MacBook Pro) clicking on the Finder icon (bottom left corner of your computer screen (left-most icon in the Dock)), clicking "Finder" (top of screen in the task bar) and "Preferences." Once the Preferences window is opened, click on the "Sidebar" tab. Check the box that will show "Computer" in the left-hand side of any finder window. Close the preferences window. Click on your computer's name at the top right-hand side of your Finder window. Double click on the "Network" icon (a blue/purple sphere). Double click on your PowerBook's icon. You will most-likely be prompted to enter in some information (username and password). Enter in the proper requested information, and the contents of your PowerBook's hard drive should display in the finder window. Click-and-drag the wanted files from your PowerBook's window to a location on your MacBook Pro's hard drive. Depending on the size of the files and your Wi-Fi router speed, this could take some time. In the event that you are not using a Wi-Fi connection on a home network, let me know, and I will give other options that will allow you to do computer-to-computer file sharing (such as with an ethernet or firewire cable).
    This stuff certainly takes time... One might suggest to free up a day with nothing going on to really get things done. Don't get frustrated, as I'm here to help and am fully confident that we'll get this all figured out! :-)

  • I need to update to Maverick. I'm currently running OS 10.7.5 and every time I try to find a compatible update to even update to Mountain Lion, I can't find it. My computer is running slowly and I can't use iPhoto.

    Okay, so I can't upgrade to Maverick because it's incompatible, nor do I happen to have thousands of dollars to dish out for a new Mac. I can't even find the next upgrade. Every time I click "Software Update" it finds nothing related to this. And it's also really important for me to be able to use iPhoto which lately just gives me the rainbow wheel of death even though I've tried several fixes.

    There are no software updates for Lion (10.7) past 10.7.5.
    If your machine supports Mountain Lion (10.8) you can buy it at the Apple Store. They'll send you a redemption code via email and you can use it at the App Store to download Mountain Lion.
    http://www.todaysiphone.com/2013/10/online-apple-store-offering-redemption-codes -os-x-lion-mountain-lion/
    iPhoto is not part of the OS and each of those apps can be purchased via the App Store.

  • Help! Macbook Pro running Slow. I have ETRECHECK results

    Help!
    I have a Macbook Pro, and in the past month or so my applications have stopped responding on a very regular basis. iphoto, Word, Firefox, etc. Really, almost no application is working on my computer. VERY frustrating! I started in safe mode and that's the only way I can get an internet browser to run.
    Please help!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    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. 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. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request 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. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.

    9. 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, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    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.
    10. 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 the results. No harm will be done.
    11. 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.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test 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.

  • My Macbook is running really slow - help (Etrecheck report included)

    I have a Macbook Pro, and it runs insanely slow.  Trying to do something simple like surfing the net and listening to Itunes generally results in the spinning wheel coming up after every clicked link.  Excel will cause a 45 second spinning wheel when doing something simple like =2+2.  I don't use this machine for anything too complicated and I'm just finding it runs extraordinarily slow.  Any advice is welcome.

    I was hoping to get some more air-play on this.  No one can help?
    It is a long holiday weekend for many helpers here so responses will be slower---happens every major holiday. Lots of people traveling and not checking in.
    Your first major problem is that you have AVG anti-virus installed. Such pieces of dreck do not offer enough protection to justify the performance problems they cause.
    If you no longer use a Blackberry device, uninstall the many support files for it that are eating resources.

    Try a restart every once in a while. That clears out a lot of crud that builds up.
    The RAM usage results suggests that more RAM might help with your usage patterns. See how the computer behaves after restarting and evicting AGV, then we can judge whether you need more RAM. Your MBP can handle up to 16GB RAM and installation is a 10-15 minute job you can do at home.
