First, ignore the meaningless output of that program.
Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. 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 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.

    Problem description:
    My iMac is running very slow since installing Yosemite.  I turned off iCloud for photos and this seems to have helped, but it is still running slow.  When I ran this EtreCheck, there seem to be a lot of "failures". What's up with my Mac?
    thanks,

    My Mac also very temperamental since installing Yosemite, it sounds like it's constantly working very hard no something, it delays when clicking, typing, switching applications, I'm seeing a lot of twirling umbrellas.  I've also done the Etre Check report and would be grateful for any help.

    Uninstall the Symantec Antivirus, it's useless and slows down the mac.
    There's also a process called "defaults", which I can't seem to find the origin. If never seen a process named like that. Maybe someone else knows. It might be linked to the symantec though.
    Also, either disable Time Machine, or set it up again, because it's not working.
    More over, a system preference file is constantly crashing called "cfprefsd", which is linked to an app using a Cocoa Framework (I might be talking Chinese to you, but some may understand). I can't find any help regarding this particular crash, but reinstalling OS X should solve the issue (To reinstall OS X, follow the steps described on this support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18872 )

  • Macbook slow since installing Yosemite

    Problem description:
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, my Macbook is very slow, especially when trying to open webpages.  I installed Yosemite because I bought my daughter an iPad and had to upgrade to Yosemite in order to do the Family Share thing.  Ever since, my Macbook has been incredibly slow (no issues with any other of our Apple devices or with using my work-issued PC, so it's not my WiFi connection).  I'm wondering if there's a bunch of junk on my system--I use it mostly for email, internet and storing photos and I see all the things in my EtreCheck that were "killed due to memory pressure."  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Here are the results of my EtreCheck:

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, 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.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Mac book pro running slow since installing yosemite

    hello
    since I have installed yosemite on my 2012 mac book pro most things are VERY LAGGY and slow things don't close I have to hard power the machine down is there any way to do a system restore back to mavericks ??
    this yosemite is crap
    mick

    Hi ..
    Make sure to quit all open applications prior to shutting down your Mac.
    Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
    OS X Tips Where did my Disk Space Go
    If there's enough free storage space, open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Login Items tab. Remove all items there.
    Same with:   HD > Library > StartupItems
    Then restart your Mac.
    And check the startup disk.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 - running slow after installing Yosemite

    Can anyone help me - my late 2011 Macbook Pro is running very slow since installing Yosemite.  Also my Microsoft Office for Excel is not allowing me to type into cells - I can copy and paste but not add new text.
    I have run the Etre diagnostic app (as suggested on another thread) and these are the results I get. Can anyone help - or do I have to uninstall Yosemite and how would I do this?

  • Why is my MacBook really slow since uploading Yosemite

    Why is my MacBook really slow since installing Yosemite?

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory (not 8 GB) as shown in the About This Mac window, Yosemite won't perform well. Otherwise, see below.
    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.

  • Mac mini slow startup since installing yosemite

    I have a late 2012 mac mini and before installing Yosemite it would take just a few seconds to start up when I turned it on. Now since installing Yosemite it is a lot slower to start up, and i get a "progress bar" when I turn it on, which I never had when running Mavericks. Any ideas how to fix this?

  • Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

    Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

    Thank you Thomas
    First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
    Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
    To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while.

  • Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences.

    Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?

    Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
    1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
    2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
    3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
    4. Next, open the Terminal application.
      Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
    cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
    rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
    killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
    5. Close the Terminal app.
    6. Restart your computer.
    The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

    Thanks so much for the detailed instructions...but they didn't seem to work.
    At this point I've erased the drive and reinstalled Yosemite. I haven't brought any files or applications back in yet, but things are still moving really slow. Here's my latest EntreCheck report. Any insight would be very helpful.
