  • Macbook Pro running very slow all of a sudden

    Hello, my mac has suddenly started running extremely slow. It sits on the grey screen on start up for about 10 mins and i get the spinning wheel constantly when using through the day. it is also running extremely hot when in use and the fans are almost always on full power. ive cleaned some room on it and checked the fans for lint and dust. programs sometimes just shut down also. i read in other posts to run a etresoft report as that can help identify problems so here are my results. any help would be excellent thanks.

  • My mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

    my mac mini is running very slow all of a sudden, how can i restore it's speed?

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    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.
    Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance 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.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    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.
    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 paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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 your browser, 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.
    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.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    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're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
    The test may take up to 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. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line 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 your results. No harm will be done.
    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.
    When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the 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 pro became very slow all of a sudden?

    I just bought a used macbook pro early 2012. It was all restored and nice when I got it. It has worked perfectly for about a week and then I don't know why, but all of a sudden it became very slow in every aspect; Booting, opening apps, even surfing on the web became slower and laggy. It also seems like it has a battery problem when it is in standby. Because it uses a lot of power. Actually so much that it might go dead just by standing for a few hours. Is there anything I can do?

    In regards to the battery situation, try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Is there a change?
    When you got the MBP, was Mavericks the installed OSX?  What you may have to do is boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.  This will connect you to the Apple servers and allow you to erase the HDD and install the original OSX that the MBP came with.  This sets up the MBP to your Apple ID and will permit you to install any appropriate updates accordingly.  You may then download and install Mavericks from the App Store.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Running Very Slow All of a Sudden

    In the last couple of days, my macbook has started loading things very slowly. This is not an issue with the internet, but opening applications and sometimes it seems as if the computer can't even keep up with my typing. I have searched older posts on this topic thoroughly and I haven't been able to solve the problem yet. I have run Leopard Cache Cleaner and Onyx to no avail. My activity monitor says that something called Agent Daemon is taking up 9.10% of my CPU. What is that? Help Please!

    HI,
    Checked free disk space lately? 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. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.
    Boot from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) 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.

    1. EtreCheck indicates that you do not have Time Machine configured.
    This step WILL NOT SPEED UP YOUR SYSTEM, but you need to have at least one backup method for your system. Is your system being backed up at work or at school? Without at least one backup method, you're constantly in danger that a sudden hard drive failure will cause you to lose everything. If you do not have some kind of current backup (school, work, or on your own using Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, or other backup program to an external hard drive, then please don't attempt anything until you get one and have at least one or more complete clones or several Time Machine backups of your system.
    2.CleanMyMac2 is NOT helpful software. If anything it makes your system much more unstable and slower than it was before:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5061639?tstart=0
    Follow the developers instructions to remove it: http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2 Simply dragging the app to the trash does NOT remove it. Carefully removing CleanMyMac2 might restore SOME of the performance you seek.
    3. You have just 2GB RAM memory. That's not enough for good performance with OS X Mavericks. This is illustrated by the 843MB of 'Page-outs' shown in your EtreCheck. That means that the computer is writing the contents of active RAM memory to the hard drive.
    Virtual Memory Information:
        120 MB    Free RAM
        535 MB    Active RAM
        511 MB    Inactive RAM
        340 MB    Wired RAM
        2.88 GB    Page-ins
        843 MB    Page-outs
    2GB RAM was was OK (though not great) to run OS X 10.6, but OS X Mavericks 10.9 really needs at least 4GB RAM, and 8GB RAM would offer somewhat better performance that 4GB.
    Macintosh computers are notoriously 'picky' about RAM memory specifications. OtherWorldComputing (www.macsales.com) and crucial.com are two trustworthy vendors of RAM memory that works reliably in Macintosh computers.
    Though not indicated by the EtreCheck report, one additional possibility is that your hard drive could be in the early stages of failure. That would also slow things down, and is yet another reason to be certain you have backups of your irreplacable files.

    I’ve tried running 10.10 on quite a few different computers with 4GB of RAM and a standard mechanical hard drive and all of them performed worse with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks (10.9). And about a year ago I found that they performed better with Mt Lion (10.8) than Mavericks. Each version of the Mac OS has required more memory than the version that came before it and that means that every couple of years the minimum acceptable RAM is increased. Apple signaled this quietly at the Apple Store - only one computer now ships with 4GB of RAM. (And I can tell you from personal experience that in that configuration it is not fun to use.)
    Bottom line: you need at least 8GB of RAM or an SSD. Both are better. In the meantime run as lean a machine as possible. MacKeeper is a waste of money no matter what anyone might tell you. At best it is not necessary and is a waste of money.

    New mountain lion update causing macbook to run very slow?

    Select Apple menu > About This Mac from the menu bar. How much memory is installed?

  • My mac is running vert slow all of a sudden

    I reinstalled 10.7.4 last month with a clean install today my mac mini is very slow all of a sudden. I have made no changes and have not installed any software since the clean install. When I click on anything the mouse cursor becomes the rainbow circle for 1.m16 seconds (sorry tried to give you guys exact info but i only measured it once:)
    What i tried up to now:
    I tried to boot the mac with cmd r and reinstall. However the moment it connects to the internet the mothing happens i let it run for 2.5 hours and the blue bar did not even give me 1% (my internet on my mac air has no problems.
    I checked disk utility and checked disk permissions and repair disk. both no problems
    I ran activity monitor and here is the info.

  • My MacBook is running very slow.

    Yesterday I added a second Thunderbolt monitor. I'm not sure if it is the cause of slowness or if I have too  many programs, a virus or what. In doing research I found EtreCheck which I ran.  Here are the results.  Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get some speed back? Thank you!
    Problem description:
    Computer is running very slow
    EtreCheck version: 2.1.8 (121)

    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.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the 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. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. 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.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" 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.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. 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 and start typing the name.
    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.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, 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.
    11. 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, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, 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 the words "Start time." 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.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • My macbook pro running very slow

    Hello,
    Looking for help with my very slow running laptop. I ran an EtreCheck and can provide a full report. I ran Disk Utility, repaired permissions, slimmed down my Download folder, deleted a program recently installed - Kies, to link with my Android phone. I also have an iMac running 10.9.5.
    Thanks for helping out... and Happy New Year to you all!
    Mark

  • Macbook is running very slow and pop-ups come up constantly while using both Safari & Chrome.

    My 2008 macbook has a virus on it caused by me accidentally clicking a wrong download while making a mix tape for a friend ( I was using a website that is not illegal btw) and now my computer is running very slow. As well as having pop ups all over my chrome and safari with EVERYTHING I do. If someone out there could help me its very much appreciated as I am a college student with various online classes. I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 currently.

    Download the Adware removal tool on The Safe Mac site.

    If you still have problems after removing, download EtreCheck and paste results here for help troubleshooting.

  • MacBook Pro run very slow when open Contacts

    My MacBook Pro (earlie 2011) run very slow. When open Contacs show the color ball. I can't see duplicates contacs.

    Back up all data.
    1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click  Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
    2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
    Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
    3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
    A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
    4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
    5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
    Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

    I would delete Sophos.  It is not needed to be permanently installed.
