My iMac boots up unbearably slow.

My iMac has become unbearably slow recently.
It takes over 10 minutes for the computer to boot up and for the dock to appear.
It also takes forever to open a program. But, from my observations, the computer starts to behave normally afree several hours of usage. It was not like this previously.
I have done some Googling and have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but it is still the same.
I have over 900GB free in my startup disk, so a lack of storage is not the problem.
Please help me.

Before you do ANYTHING backup the computer and check the backup. Next run Apple's Hardware Test in Extended Mode 2-3 times back to back, your HD may be failing. The reason to run in multiple times is AHT does not always find errors on the first or second pass, however when it does they are correct. If errors appear then take it to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • IMac has been unbearably slow

    Hello,
    I purchased this iMac in early 2012, and it has recently become unbearably slow. Creating new folders, loading new tabs in Chrome, just doing basic work on the computer...it all takes frustratingly long! I don't do any heavy graphics processing, just some light gaming, word processing, excel. I have rebooted within the last few days and don't really want to purchase more RAM unless it's absolutely necessary. Just looking for advice on what options I have!

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    When you post the log extract, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

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

  • Macbook Air 2014 unbearable slow

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite back in October, my macbook air has been so god **** slow. I can't get **** done on it, and my fans are overheating all the time. When I start IntelliJ, the CPU overclocks itself to 300%, same goes for photoshop. I can't even get anything done on my laptop anymore, and using an exernal screen is almost not worth it because of all the lag on the graphics and overall performance. It feels like I'm using this laptop back in 2008 with 2003 hardware and ADSL internet.
    Problem description:
    Macbook Air is generally slow, the animations are laggy, safari is unbearable slow and I can’t have Photoshop and safari on at the same time for example without suffering so much lag, and the fan starting to go on.

  • Unbearably slow Mac book pro

    In the last week my mid 2009 17" has gotten unbearably slow. It took 50 minutes to boot up earlier today and I don't know what is causing it. I have upgraded to 8gbs of ram and I have 37 gbs of HD space free(which I know is a little low but it still shouldn't run that slow. I've ran it on 8 gbs for a whole before and it was fine) Could my Hd be dieing???
    I can't even open up finder without getting the colorful busy cursor.
    If any one has an idea what it would be I would greatly Appricate it!
    Cheers

    Hi...
    and I have 37 gbs of HD space free
    37GB's of free space on a 500GB drive is not sufficient. Rule of thumb.  Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • Flash runs unbearably slow on my Powerbook, help!

    Heya,
    So I'm running a 12" Powerbook with a 1.33 Ghz G4, 1.25 GB RAM, and an NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 64MB RAM... Flash runs unbearably slow on my machine and it just happened all of the sudden. Although this issue came up the first time about two years ago I just bore the burden of it. But being a web developer it's just ridiculous. Now this only happens with videos, and no it's not related to the buffer, I've read that there an issue with Flash rendering techniques that caused it to slow down dramatically at like Flash 8 or something. I desperately need help resolving this and I'm wondering if anyone can help?? Thanks!

    Hello,
    How much available disk space is there?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Your Mac needs free disk space in order to render video. Could that be the issue?
    Wouldn't hurt to check the boot disk for errors:
    If not, shut down PBook. Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open but DO NOT proceed with any installations, instead from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. In the DU window, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Verify If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk and select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

  • IMac 27" running very slow after 10.6.6 update

    After updating to the newest OSX build my iMac is running extremely slow. Boot times are the same but once I'm in OSX it takes twice as long to do anything. If I click on the systems icon it takes over 10 seconds to open. I attempted to verify my hard drive permissions and it shows an estimated time of over 4 hours. I'm at a lost as to what the **** happened. I've run several hardware diagnostics and it finds no problems. I also have boot camp installed and Windows 7 runs perfectly. Has anyone experienced something like this with the 10.6.6 build?

    Hi e-nun
    I feel your pain am having exactly the same problems. I have been doing a few processes to try and see what will work. Here is what i have done to start..
    1. Boot the computer using the discs that came with the imac then load disk utility from that. Repair Disk Permissions.
    2. Clear the PRAM and the NVRAM
    3. Go to Spotlight preferences click on the Privacy Tab and drag your imac's HDD to that list. Wait for around 10-15secs then use the little minus button to remove it. Once you close the window Spotlight will start to re-index the HDD. You will notice the little dot inside the magnifying icon for spotlight.
    As im writing this my Imac is currently re-indexing and fingers crossed its running better than after the update. Whilst its been reindexing i haven't had any slow down issues. Ill keep you posted...
    Did you find anything else out??

  • My imac has become extremely slow

    Hi, I have a 4 year old 27 inch imac, running 10.10.3; it has become extremely slow to boot up, to open apps and to get online.  I'm a fairly heavy user of dropbox, and I am wondering if that is the issue -- other than that I run very run of the mill apps -- itunes, word/ppt/excel/, ical, imessage, firefox and safari, adobi acrobat, some use of iphoto.  Suggestions?

  • PC networking to iMac booted in Vista, and in vista emulation-Small office

    Re: Wireless and Wired Network: probably using a dlink 825 dual n band wireless router.
    1. How is a typical Dell/ vistax64 networked to an imac booted in vista x64?
    2. How is a typical Dell/ vistax64 networked to an imac running vista x64 in emulation?
    *3. how are they configured to simultaneously synch business files and digital images, that will originate from the dell, in situation 1 & 2 above?
    I (might be) stuck getting a Dell/vista 64 to acquire digital dental x-rays in the treatment room, bec the sensor mfg'er says the drivers won't work(!) on a Mac booted in Vista, either way. But since the PC imaging app and PC practice management software works fine either way, the iMac will rule the Front Desk. I'm still not convinced about the driver PC only spec! ..... Please help me get the sync'ed networking configured. Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Specifically what is the model number for the printer? If you have difficulty locating the model number please use one of these guides to get it:

  • Windows server 2012 R2 PXE boot is unworkable slow, I have this exact same set-up working in 2008 R2 What can I do?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to deploy a windows 7 image through Windows deployment services via PXE boot from a 2012 R2 server.
    Issue:    PXE boot is extremely slow, it takes up to more than 60 minutes for the device to download download the PXE boot
    Things I already tried to get this up and running:
    I've tried to change the TFTP block size via command prompt and via regedit
    I've changed the settings on the tab of the WDS role (go to WDS role -> properties on server -> Tab "tftp")
    Both actions resulted in PXE boot being even slower than it already was.
    To make sure this is not because of our environment I’ve set up the same configuration on a windows server 2008 R2, here PXE boot image is downloaded to the machine within 3 minutes.
    Both servers are set up through Hyper-V this is the configuration:
    2008 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    1 Virtual processor
    IDE controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    2012 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    32 virtual processors
    SCSI controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    I can’t imagine that PXE boot is not working because of the differences of the Hard drives controllers or because of the amount of the virtual processors.
    Windows server 2012 R2 seems to handle PXE boot TFTP differently in comparison to 2008 R2.
    Do you guys know what I can do/try to get this working?

    Hi Jacques Rodrigues,
    You can run Windows Deployment Services on Hyper-V virtual machines,
    that the performance will often be degraded, particularly during the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) download phase. This phase is very resource-intensive and may
    fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V.
    If you are using multicast, Check if IGMP Snooping is enabled i.e. Routers that support multicasting. In particular, Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) snooping should
    be enabled on all devices. This will cause your network hardware to forward multicast packets only to those devices that are requesting data. If IGMP snooping is turned off, multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets, and will be sent to every device
    in the subnet.

    I’m glad to be of help to you!

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What other changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • Email review creates workflows file size that makes Acrobat 9 unbearably slow.

    I have been using the email review features in Acrobat pro version 9.3.1. All was going fine until, apparently, my workflows file got to around 1.5mb. If I understand correctly this is the file that Review Tracker uses to track PDF emailed for review.
    The problem is Acrobat becomes unbearably slow to open and operate.
    I narrowed down the reason by opening Acrobat with no plugins loaded and it operated fine. Then by enabling and disabling various plugins I found that when any plug-in having something to do with the commenting and tracking process was enabled acrobat again became unbearably slow. Through searching on this forum I found the workflows file that is created for tracking email reviews. I discovered with all plug-ins enabled and with the workflow file removed acrobat operated fine when I put the file back it again opens and operates unbearably slow.
    So I know how to make Acrobat operate correctly by removing the Workflows file. Acrobat will create a new one if I start another review. The big problem is I have lost all my tracking on previous reviews.
    I was wondering if anyone else might have had a similar problem when the Workflows file became larger than 1.5mb or so?
    Does anyone know of a way I can keep my previous email reviews and still have acrobat operate correctly?
    I also wonder if this will happen again?
    Thank you for your time and knowledge.

    Flattening should be expected to make files bigger, much bigger in the worst case. It is rarely a way to reduce size, though sometimes it will be - it all depends on what is in the file.
    An example where it could reduce size is where a series of images are overlayed transparently. This would end up being a single one. There may be cases where lots of layers get consolidated into something simpler, but if the layers were vector and the result is raster it won't.
    So, flattening might be a useful tool, but it's best to try it and test the result.
    Better still to stop the proprietary software from choking... !

  • I have noticed my iMac OSX is very slow.  I would like to clean it up.  I continue to get a pop-up from TUneUP my Mac.  Any reviews?  Any suggestions?

    I have noticed that my iMac 0SX is VERY SLOW.  I would like to clean it up.  I have been receiving pop-ups from TUNEUP MY MAC.  They want $40 to supposedly clean up my computer and make it run smoother and quicker.  Any reviews? Any suggestions? 

    DO NOT repeat DO NOT download or install any performance applicaiton's of any type. This is a scam and should be avoided. You haven't told us anything about your computer such as the version of OS X installed or how it's configured. I would recommend downloading and running an EtreCheck report so we can get a better idea about your system. You can find Etrecheck by clicking:
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Run it's report then post it back to this forum.
