Slow iMac (Yosemite), good etrecheck report/specs

Hi all,
Hoping one could help me out with the following question. Why feels the iMac late 2012 slower than my 6-7year old unibody MBP?
I know there are a lot of topics passing by that are quiet similar and I've tried most of the solutions but that didn't change anything for me.
Apple hardware test, SMC reset, PRAM reset, repair permissions,... and almost everything else I could find on this forum didn't work. I can't really remember this iMac ever working smoothly as it should be but because it has never been used very often, I kept ignoring it.
Once an app like Safari, Mail or iTunes is launched, which can take 10 seconds, or longer when awake from sleep, it's usable. But when switching between apps, using spotlight, clicking on top right menu items like dropbox or adobe CC-menu or doing a bit "heavier" work in Photoshop or Indesign the beach ball appears sometimes or it all goes with a slight 2-3 seconds delay that makes it feel slow. They seem to appear randomly but especially after rebooting or waking from sleep, it all goes too sluggish compared to the old MBP or iMacs we use at work with lesser specs and the same HDD.
I did a clean install before switching to Yosemite because Mavericks gave somehow the same problems. It did make the iMac a tad faster but not as fast as it should be. I know "fast" is a subjective matter but compared to other Apple computers, mine is too slow.
If anyone could help me solve this ongoing problem, he or she'd make my day.
Here's the etrecheck report, now the page-outs are at 0 but that might be because I didn't do any heavy tasks since rebooting.
Recently I've added some RAM after having a high number of page-outs (5-6GB) but overall speed stayed the same since the update:

    I recently updated to Yosemite and notice a severe drop in my mac functioning. It was getting way to hot and would run very slowly to where it was unusable. So i cleared the HD and reinstalled all the way up to MLion thinking that this would be a good fix for my problems. Well it still is having a very hard time! Games and videos play even worse than before as well as the mac getting super hot. At this point im desperate for my mac and gaming to go back to how it used to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is the Etrecheck report.

  • Suuuuuper slow iMac!  Ran etrecheck... now what?

    I have an early 2009 Mac that has always been really reliable, until it was turned over to a certain family member for their main use.  I needed to use it today, and discovered it was running really really slow - even just minimizing a window takes a full minute to accomplish.  Even to get "about this mac" window to open takes several minutes.  I asked this person what they had been doing with it - apparently they have downloaded all sorts of pirated movies, audio and goodness knows what else onto it.  I'm furious, and trying to find whatever is causing the problem(s) and get it(them) cleaned off.
    I found some other threads here where people complained of similar issues, so I followed the steps that were advised to them.  There is plenty of memory free, and I ran both verify permissions and verify disk and both of those came up with no errors.  I saw another thread that advised running etrecheck to get a list of whatever is on this Mac for diagnostic purposes.  It has been about thirty minutes, and etrecheck is still stuck at "checking kernel extensions".  The little wheel at the bottom of the window is spinning, indicating that it's still processing, but I don't know if the computer is just too infected to continue or what. 
    Any suggestions?  I appreciate any help I can get.  

    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
    Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.
    Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
    After that, run Software Update.
    If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
    I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "security" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or the behavior of built-in applications such as Safari. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.
    Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

    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 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. 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. 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 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. Then go to the next step.
    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 only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

    Thanks a million!

    What about this?
    Good brand and a little cheaper:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148604
    Would it be worth the $80 or should I just put it toward a used MBP?
    Thanks!

  • I don't understand my EtreCheck report. What can I do to improve the speed of my Macbook 2010, which became very slow after upgrading to Yosemite?

    I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • EtreCheck report for slow Mac.

    Hi. Like so many I experience frequent crashes (well, not me personally – my computer!) on my 2011 iMac since installing Maverick. Safari, Mail, but especially Pages, all crash. Worst of all, things have got much slower. I still have 222 of 500 GB of hard drive available. I see from others' questions that I should get an EtreCheck report. Here is the result. I'd be very glad if someone can spot a problem that might be slowing things down. I have the same problems with my MacBook. I'll do the same with that later. Many thanks.
    Yep, I haven't configured Time Machine yet, since my only external hard drive is being used with my MacBook.

    At least three problems exist:
    MacKeeper
    AppCleaner
    ShinySoft
    All must be removed.
    Given the extent to which that Mac has been corrupted by those programs and for other reasons that follow below, I strongly recommend that it be completely erased and reconfigured from the ground up. Please write back for instructions should you decide to to that.
    Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components. Never install such junk on a Mac.
    If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
    If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
    If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
    Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
    Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
    Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
    You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
    Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
    After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
    I recommend you uninstall Shiny Soap Agent. It appears to be a remote access tool (RAT).
    You may have legitimate reasons for having installed remote access software developed by a company in Slovakia, but any remote access tool can easily be used for nefarious purposes.
    http://shinysoap.com/remote-support
    Shiny Soft's relationship to Teamviewer seems questionable to me, and their command of conventional English spelling does little to inspire confidence in a tool that can be used to remotely control a Mac:
    If you were not aware that such software was installed, I recommend nothing less than completely erasing your Mac to ensure it has not been altered in a malicious manner.
    You should avoid all utilities that make absurd claims such as "clean your Mac with a click":
    They are all scams, in one form or another. If you're fortunate, all you will lose is the money and time you invested in using such garbage.
    May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?
    Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage. The overwhelming majority of Macs I come across have the MacKeeper installer file already present in their Downloads folder, often multiple copies of it. The downloaded file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper - not to be confused with MacKeeper) will prevent that from occurring.
    Use caution when playing Minecraft. Scam artists often use promises of enhanced game privileges to gull users into installing remote access software. That alone might explain the presence of Shiny Soap.
    When discussing any Mac related concern you should purge the word "clean" from your lexicon. It's misleading in that it implies neglecting a Mac will cause it to somehow become "unclean", and after all who wants a filthy Mac. The emotional connotation results in many Mac users represented on this site relating tales of misery after using garbage "cleaning" apps. Avoid them as you would a social disease.

  • My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time -been

    My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

    I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
    I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
    Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
    I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
    thanks
    Mike

    Thanks Grant for your insight - I might have improved a little bit on my speed at times yet still very slow overall.  I am posting my latest EtreCheck report for any insight anyone may be able to offer.  I'd also like to ask what the most financially resourceful way to get an inspection of my Macbook would be - I'm fed up . 
    Thanks again,
    Kory

    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

    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.

    Since you use Time Machine, erasing your Mac and rebuilding your work environment is likely to be the least time-consuming choice:
    To erase and install Mavericks read: OS X Mavericks: Erase and reinstall OS X.
    The excerpt "Before you erase, back up your essential files" is critical. To do that you can use Time Machine, or simply copy your essential software and other files to a backup device. Depending on the amount of data you have, a USB flash memory stick might be sufficient.
    To migrate your essential documents subsequent to erasing and reinstalling Mavericks read: OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks and follow the procedure under Time Machine or other disk migration.
    When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices. Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.

  • Too slow after Yosemite upgrade [info]

    Hello fellows,
    Right After upgrading to Yosemite I started facing an extremely delay almost in everything which I did not face at all before upgrading where they were times that I could use at the same time Chrome, Adobe Photoshop, Word, VMware Machine (Windows7) with insignificant delays:
    On booting a white loading bar appears which takes too long before it loads OSX.
    Almost in every action I take, I see the beachball spinning for too long.
    Sometimes (most of the times) even typing delays a bit and the mouse buttons actions have a remarkable to extreme delay. (No battery or bluetooth problems)
    I tried to take some actions like these ones: http://www.hightechdad.com/2014/10/23/13-tips-optimize-mac-yosemite-installation %20/  & http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/24/speed-up-os-x-yosemite-mac/
    I used CleanMyMac 2
    The general feeling is like having a machine of 90's trying to run an OS designed in 10's.
    More or less my daily usage of applications includes Chrome, Safari, Skype & Microsoft Office. Nothing too heavy most of the time.
    I include EtreCheck report in case it might help:
    Problem description:
    Everything goes slower after upgrading to Yosemite. Also at booting it shows a white loading bar which needs too much time before it initiates OSX.

    Arthur thank you for your response.
    I strongly doubt that CleanMyMac 2 did something bad since I installed it only for this reason and that was today after a week of upgrade, I never had it or knew it before. Also could not do much since I had the demo edition.
    I had the same background processes before upgrading (most of them I need them, except -occasionaly - Flip4mac,Paragon,Akamai)
    Either way there was nothing new installed after upgrading that might caused the issues, so I will wait for other suggestions before doing something more dramatic like reinstalling the OSX from beginning.
