Reduced macbook pro performance, more spinning wheel

Greetings, my macbook pro has, in the last several weeks, begun running slower with an increased rate of the spinning wheel. Below are the data from my etrecheck. Any thoughts on what is causing the reduced performance? Thank you!

MacBook Pro slow with spinning wheel

My MacBook Pro recently on startup gave me a screen which led me to repair my HD or re-install from Disc or I-cloud backup.
As I have no backup disc, I did the HD repair but now the computer is working very slowly and more often than not, gives me
the DEADLY spinning wheel for practically every mouse click. HELP ! HELP ! HELP !

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|nspace-h|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
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 a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
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. See whether there's any change.
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.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, 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 4
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.

Mid-2010 MacBook Pro: freezing and spinning wheel

Hi there,
I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro (I know, old) that's been in very good condition. I upgraded my OS to Mavericks in May, which is when it started being slow and crashing/freezing around twice a week. For example, just doing normal things like surfing the web or checking the Airport or battery life will suddenly freeze the cursor which will then turn into the spinning wheel of death. Sometimes I can wait it out if it's a few minutes but sometimes I have to manually turn off the computer and then turn it back on when it's been hours of no change or improvement. I know it's probably best to downgrade back to Snow Leopard but I'd really like to keep my OS. Are there other things I can do to optimize my Mac? I've tried keeping fewer files on the desktop and emptying out the trash often and it seemed to help for a while. Other suggestions?
Thanks for reading!

Wow, that post looks like a mess...I will try to make it more readable.
Thanks for your reply. I had to wait a few days for the problem to crop up again. I followed your instructions to the best of my ability. The thing is that the problem (i.e. freezing and spinning wheel) happened at 8:19 and the closest messages in the Console were are time stamped 8:17 and 8:25. So I will put them here for you to look at if you don't mind:

I hope this is not too much text and I hope it makes some sense. The problem happened while I was closing a tab on Chrome, which wasn't anything sketchy, just Facebook, and nothing too unmanagable (it was the only application active). Thanks for your help!

Late 2011 MacBook Pro stuck at spinning wheel of death after a Thunderbolt issue, HD erasing and fresh Lion install from Recovery HD. Please help me!!!

So, I think the title says it all, but to give you a little more info:
I connected my late 2011 MacBook Pro to my TV using a Thunderbolt HDMI adapter, and closed the lid. When I opened it, it wouldn't show the login screen, so I restarted using power button. Got stuck at the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. So I booted the Recovery HD and found out it was a HD problem, so I (reluctantly) erased the HD and installed Lion from scratch. When it rebooted (after DOWNLOADING the Lion components) I got some terminal commands (sorry for not being more specific, still a noob when it comes to Mac) and then the screen faded and a message appeared saying I needed to reboot the computer. So I did. 3 effing times. Then I got stuck AGAIN at the spinning wheel, and I'm currently with that on my screen. I'm trying the forums before calling Apple (my computer's still within the 90 days of warranty) because it's not yet 9 A.M. where I live

can you go back to recovery mode then open disk utility.
in disk utility, higlight the disk, the one saying the brand and size then click on repair disk under first aid tab
if it repairs fine, that's okay
if repair was not successful, go to partition and change current to 1 partition then apply
install lion again
hope this helps

I ran an EtreCheck on my laptop and this is what the report said. I've had this laptop for about 4 years and it just started freezing up around a week ago. The spinning wheel pops up every few minutes, slows down everything, and makes it extremely frustating to be using the laptop.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

Macbook pro freezes randomly (spinning wheel of death)

I just got a macbook pro refresh and the thing randomly freezes without warning. Once it's locked up the wheel just spins, I can't access Activity Monitor, can't do anything. I think it's a pretty good computer but, aside from freezing and basically totally breaking randomly. What's up with this? Do the people at Mac not test equipment before selling it to their users. If you google "mac freezes" you get tons of hits, but none of them seem to have the solution. Any help? Thanks!

Macbook pro problem with spinning wheel

hello....i have a macbook pro 15" i7 and i have a problem with the spinning wheel of Mac os X. I am always seeing this spinning wheel. for example I open mail and safari at the same time and i get this spining wheel for 25 secondes...
any solutions????
please help me...

i open mail and then the activity and i saw that it was sending me password to find any new mails
Did it find any new mails? Or did it just sit there asking for a password?
then how can i see that my home page is set to one that fully loads accurately in my browser???
Find a website you like to visit that doesn't have problems loading. Google and Wikipedia and Apple's own website all should always work.
Go to Safari menu -> Preferences -> Click on the light switch for General.
There you will find a home page field where you can put that website you like.

MacBook Pro Contacts iCloud & spinning wheel

Against the iCloud Contacts there exists, permanently, a spinning wheel. My guess it has something to do with synchronising? Why also will the merge facility not work? It identifies a number of contacts needing to merge but then fails to do so. Surely there is a solution. Thank you for reading this and for any offers of help.

Macbook pro running slow - spinning wheel but still space avail?

Is there anything that I can do to speed up my macbook pro?
System is up to date, and there is space available. I've checked CPU - I think there is probably a lot of double ups on information stored on computer but not sure how to do a clean-up without loosing originals....
Any help would be greatly appreciated? In laymans terms if possible, as clearly I'm not as technically knowledgable in this area (also don't have much &'s to spend on clean-up software - so cheaper options or ability to fix thru what is already available to me is best!)
Thanks in advance

No information will be lost and i've had good luck with it in the past.

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? When did it start to be slow? Did you change anything just before it started? 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.

Extremely slow macbook pro performance

I have a 4GB Macbook Pro 13 inch, less than 1/2 the memory is in use. Computer startup can take up to 10 minutes, and opening any app can take 1-2 minutes. Apps are constantly stalling, and Safari is constantly showing the spinning wheel of doom. It's running OS X 10.9.5. It's at the point where my iPhone is a much better option that using my Mac. Any suggestions on speeding it up? I used to have MacKeeper on it, but the Genius Bar at the Apple store told me the uninstall it, as it often can cause a slow performance.

Problem description:
Extremely slow macbook pro performance. Slow, stalled applications, extremely slow start up, constantly stalling and slow apps.

MacBook pro performance

Can anybody tell me how the MacBook pro performs with logic studio in comparison to the mac pro?
I currently use a 2005 Power Mac and normally have Logic Studio running with Ableton Live together, my 2006 MacBook pro always struggled with this.
Anyway now apple is practically stopping all support for my old power pc, it feels like its time to upgrade but I'm not sure what to? I don't want an iMac and the current offering of mac pros are 2 years out of date. This seems to leave two choices
1. Go for the mac book pro (but will it cope, how will my dual screens work and how do I manage the current 600GB of music content?)
2. Wait for a new mac pro (could be waiting a long time, are desktops now a becoming obsolete?)
Thanks

Yeah, certain instruments and combinations of plugins will cause issues with CPU spikes and freezing up. A trick I found in the Apple support docs is to split the number of plugins on a particular channel between the main instrument channel and an Aux channel.
Let's say, for example, you've got a synth that's particularly CPU-intensive, and you've got a bunch of CPU-intensive effects on it. Take half of those plugins and put them into an Aux channel, and send the audio output from the synth channel itself into that aux channel. Believe it or not, this spreads out the processing power across the multiple cores of your CPU, lessening how intensely the CPU is having to work in one particular core. Tried it out, works great!
The Mac Pro will definitely have more horsepower than a laptop. For what I do the portability of the laptop is a non-negotiable, but if I had a more permanent studio location (and an unlimited budget) I would totally do a maxed-out Mac Pro.
That's truly an amazing library of sounds!

Does anyone know how well the Intel Iris Pro installed on new 15" MacBook Pros performs using Photoshop and Lightroom? I have seen some differing opinions out there, and I would rather not shell out the extra cash for the Nvidia if I don't have to. I mostly do photo editing for business and personal use. I have not used the 3D function in Photoshop, but I would like to know that I could.

You could download a trial and see how well it works before committing to a subscription. You get 30 days to decide.

MacBook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start with ML ?

My Macbook pro takes more than 10 minutes to start. I press Start and it takes more than 10 minutes before I can enter my password. Need your help !

Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
1. Power down the machine.
2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

For a gray screen with a spinning wheel here are the procedures to follow.

This often indicates a failed drive. Hope not.
