Slow Mac 10.5.8
I have been experiencing trouble with my Mac (2.53Ghz and 4GB Mem running Mac OS X 10.5.8). It's been running really slow lately especially when I'm in the internet.
Already ran a disk utility verification and turned out to be ok. Also looked at the Activities Monitor but no signs of high CPU usage there.
Please some help I need it for college and it's starting to really bother me
Thanks
Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Slow Mac, and a weird rolling screen on Face Time. Memory has been doubled to 4GB. Caches dumped in trash and emptied. Help. It's really slow.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. -
My Mac has been slowing down over the past couple months and it's at the point were I have to do something. The processor seems to be working really hard even when no applications or windows are open. The two things that have recently changed were the upgrade to Mavericks and the installation of a Wacom tablet. I disconnected the tablet and that has helped, but I'm not sure what to do next. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Why is my computer slow
Why your Mac runs slower than it should
Slow Mac After Mavericks
Things you can do to resolve slowdowns see post by Kappy
I also agree with Allan. You won't ever 'own' the computer until you do as he has suggested. -
Been poor since upgrade to Mavericks. I had hope 10.9.2 would help but not the case. Browsed about and found a thing that said do a SuperDuper backup, erase boot drive, clone back. Seemed an improvement for a short time but soon the spinning ball was back.
I noticed in another thread mention of the backup battery - mine is the original (October 2009).
Most of the spinning ball activity is with Apple basic programs:
Mail: Very slow to open a Reply or Forward, also seems unable to do anything when a message is being Sent.
Safari: I have a lag with my Oceanic (TW) cable so some might be that BUT: Close a tab and get the ball, swipe back with the trackpad and get the ball.
Text Edit: Random times, no real specific cause.
Cocktail: Now noticeably slower to Open.
General: Seems slower to change from one program to another. Also, occasional spinning ball for no apparent reason.
Any help would be appreciated.

Mac Pro 4.1, NVIDIA GT 120, 12GB, 10.9.3 boot drive WD WD3000HLHX
Upgraded from 10.8 to Mavericks. Mountain Lion worked nicely.
Running through your helpful list:
Don't see why but would my old GT 120 contribute? I read something about the OS using the GPU for a little help. I don't game and only have 1 24" 1080p ViewSonic monitor so doesn't seem I would be taxing the video card. Might Mavericks be looking for help my GT 120 cannot provide?
Boot Drive - The Velociraptor is overkill on a 3GHz bus and the OSX partition is only about 25% used. Doesn't seem that would be a problem.
I found the Slow Mac After Mavericks before the original post here.
I did item 1: using SuperDuper - no change.
I sort of did item 2: but only a regular "Fastest" erase and only the OSX partition. Mavericks does not have the old number of passes secure erase. I assume going to "most secure" would do the additional passes. I did do a new install Mavericks on another disc with import from my original boot drive. This could drag in extra stuff but I really don't have much loaded on my computer. I then did a SuperDuper of OSX back to the boot drive. If you think a most secure erase and a clean install would help, it can be done. Windows 7 has had many updates since my purchase January 2011 so it is reinstalling Windoze I would really like to avoid.
Did item 3: and have used Combo for update to 10.9.3.
Item 5: applies and no way to get around that.
The applicable link in the spinning beach ball (temporarily, but frequently) does not seem to be it. Activity Monitor seems to think I have no need for this much computer because most of its capability is idle. HandBrake is the only time it even breaks a sweat. The one app I never see it in is SuperCard mentioned by the OP. The problems do not seem different with SuperCard running or not.
I do thank you both for your responses. Unfortunately, it is likely Apple wants to help me decide to buy a new computer. I have been getting a new Mac every four years since 1985 so it is time. If they had not gone to that wastebasket with no optical or hard drive bays, I'd have done it. If I buy new, it will be a Mini and all the associated junk. Where is the expandable desktop Mac in the Apple lineup?

Another slow mac after Mavericks...
Hi, I know I need more memory for sure, but could you please advise whether that will most likely fix my slow mac based on my EtreCheck? My concern is investing in old laptop if that will not solve and I should better off think of a brand new. Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers!

Slow Mac with recurrent spinning ball of doom
Please help,
My Mac has always been slow since I had it and migrated my PC content to my Mac. I have run EtreCheck and hope that this might illuminate the cause of my issues, but worry that it may not. ANYTHING I ask the Mac to do will be slow and inevitably cause a spinning ball for a while. I have kept the system up to date. I have a lot of photos in iPhoto but can't imagine this can be the cause?
Any help is much appreciated. The Etrecheck output is below:
Many thanks.

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
Jan 16, 2015, 01:20:19 PM /Users/[redacted]/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Finder_2015-01-16-132019_[reda cted].crash1. 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. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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:

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, press the key combination control-C or 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, there will be a series of messages in the Terminal window like this:
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The messages won't be spaced equally apart in time, 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 half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the last message you saw. No harm will be done.
12. 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.
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 don't necessarily agree with them.

Very slow Mac, EtreCheck result
Hi. I have run an EtreCheck scan with the result below. Please tell me why my Mac is so slow and whether we need more RAM… We did have TimeMachine working but the external drive has suddenly stopped working (neither our Mac or Macbook can see it when plugged in) so we have to buy a new one hence the problem in that section. Thank you for you help

Also try removing uTorrent and BitTorrent and see if there is an improvement. If you frequently download torrents, that's a good way to get malware. It might be worth downloading Sophos and having it do a scan: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition.aspx. -
My Slow Mac Mini - will someone once and for all give me an answer!!
I got a 1.25 ghz Mac Mini with 512 RAM running 10.4.4 . This thing has been so slow since I pulled it out of the box. I always get the colorwheel when doing just about anything. No, I don't have a bunch of apps open, just Safari and Mail. I tried closing Dashboard, but that did not help. There is also this lag, when I mouse over my dock, it does not immediatly respond. This is no fun. Does someone have an educated answer for this problem?
Robert,
If you restart your mini, does it act this slow from the start? Or is it when you use it for a period of time?
Also, open Finder, and click on the Applications section. Look for a program called Activity Monitor (it may be in a folder called Utilities). When that opens, there is a section called Memory (may be Memory Usage). Click on this and sort by Memory on the list. This will show programs that are using significant amounts of memory. My hunch is that a program is eating up all available memory and slowing your mini down. The most likely culprit is Safari. To quit Safari, you have to actual select from the menu, the Quit option. Just clicking on the X will not close Safari.
Post back with the answers to my first two questions. Also, post back with what you find in the Activity Monitor program. There are lots of people here that are more knowledgeable than me, so hang in there, we'll find the answer. -
About a week or so ago I bought an Apple refurb Mac Pro 2.66
It is replacing a Dual 1.8 G5 with 2GB of RAM. My plan was to "suffer" with 1GB of RAM in the Mac Pro for a while until RAM prices went down. At the same time I bought a MacBook 1.83/512MB to replace my iBook 1.33/512MB laptop.
Right to the point, the Mac Pro pages out of control, all the time. Even closing windows causes extreme paging. To put it into perspective, my Mac Pro pages significantly more than my old iBook that only had 512MB of RAM. It is so slow I can't even do work. I was going out of my mind. Then, I figured I'd boot the Mac Pro off of the MacBook and run all the disk utilities I could find just to make sure nothing was wrong. Oh I guess I should also say first that the MacBook is just as slow, although with 512 - 64 MB of RAM, it has an excuse at least. So I booted the Mac Pro off the MacBook over Firewire, and started running tests. All the tests were fine. The directory wasn't scrambled. The disk was barely fragmented, no volume problems at all, S.M.A.R.T. tests all passed. But then I noticed something. The machine was no longer paging. Booted off the MacBook's drive, it was acting like a machine with 1GB of ram. It has its slow moments but over all it was fine. Apps opened super fast. It was as fast as I thought the Mac Pro was going to be. So at this point I started to get suspicious of the hard drive. Despite passing all tests. So I googled it's model number and found a manufacturers spec sheet. The first thing I noticed was this quote:
"Super-quiet drive is almost inaudible. Difference between idle and seek can hardly be detected by human ear, making drive operation almost silent."
My drive spins up nice and quiet, but seeking is so loud, I can hear it across the room. So now I'm really starting so suspect something is wrong. Both computers have been so slow, I've barely been using them lately but I have much work to do.
--also as an out of order note, I do run Adobe software, but all the slowness observations happen even when running ONLY intel native apps. Running PPC stuff just makes it worse but its still painfully bad without them.
So hows this for a theory. I've been told that intel code is optimized more for fast execution likes larger amounts of ram, so a system short on ram feels the pinch more. That, plus the fact that 64MB is being used for video RAM, is making my MacBook legitimately slow. The Mac Pro on the other hand, has a hard drive problem which is causing super slow paging. So I'm hoping that once the drive is replaced, I'll be able to work on the machine normally, or almost normally.
To give you an idea of how bad the paging is: remember when we used system 7 and would click on a program, and stop everything, walk into the other room, and come back when the application was opened. Thats what I do now on a 1 GB machine. Even switching between apps can take a minute or two.
What do ya think?Unless you yourself did a full fresh clean install of the OS, that is the first thing to do.
Second, don't migrate any files except data to the Mac Pro. And definitely not PPC program files, install those, but don't use Migration Assistant.
It sounds like your system is just suffering from "molasses effect" of a poorly installed and updated system, and that someone used Migration Assistant on it.
2GB of RAM is nice, but if you are running heavy files or memory hungry, 4GB would be nice.
You may want to setup a boot drive, a scratch drive, and a data drive to help spread the work over multiple drives. Also, the OEM drives do tend to be slow and sluggish, and you want your boot drive to be your best, whether 300GB or 500GB best of class, or 10K Raptor.
Wipe the drive, zero-all, do a fresh system install and update, and I think you'll find it behaves. Clone the system before installing 3rd party so you have a known good system state and don't have to customize everything again. -
Very slow Mac, compared to when running a fresh install
I was wondering if anyone could help me diagnose the reason for my mac being so slow. (Eg 1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds) And why it takes a long time to load a lot of things. I have restored this from a time machine partition, so I believe something has transferred over incorrectly resulting in this general sluggishness of the system.
I have tried disabling all Startup items, disconnecting all external devices, but to no real success.
Here's the boot log of the system below, where I've noticed it hangs after posting FIPS success.
I was wondering if anyone could point me to any of the things that look suspicious? I've tried, but I haven't been able to find out what is causing it, as I believe the process that is causing this sluggishnesh begins at startup.

And
why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists. -
VERY SLOW Mac Book Pro after Mavericks update...
I have recently updated my MacBook Pro to Mavericks and everything is slow. I use IMovie and my computer freezes. What should I do?
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help to identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the state of the system that may be pertinent.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: You copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, proceed anyway.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script. It does nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The script will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but it's really 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, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
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.
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. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately, leaving the Terminal window empty. If that doesn't happen, 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 your password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again.
Please note:
☞ This procedure is all copy-and-paste — type nothing in the Terminal window except your login password if and when prompted.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard when you see "[Process completed]" in the Terminal window. You don't have to copy the output; just paste into your web browser.
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. -
Mac Mini G4, 1.33 GHz 512 MB OS 10.4.11
Has suddenly begun slowing down when I have been loading web
pages. This occurred a day or two after I installed Apple's Sept. 15
Security Upgrade.
Also, I found a drop-down message in my network
preferences that said "Your network settings have
been changed by another application." This drop-down would not go
away, preventing me from accessing any of my system preferences, a
problem noted by many others in the discussions here. Based on
advice found in the discussions here, I managed to delete the drop-down message after much hair-pulling, but I am now left with a computer that has slowed
by about 20 percent.
I have had a tech do cleaning,repairing, and troubleshooting with no appreciable improvement inweb-loading speeds. Do you have an answer for me? Are there others experiencing this slowdown after the Sept. 15 Security Upgrade?
Would uninstalling my Sept. 15 upgrade bring my system back to is
earlier speeds? Help!Hi, Andy-
I will do my best to answer your questions. Thanks for you help.
Thanks for getting back to me.
The primary web page loading issue is: when I attempt to launch a page, it consistently pauses from 10-20 seconds or longer before a 3/4 partial page snaps up on the screen, then takes more time (often 15 seconds or more) to fully load. This did not occur before the Sept. 15 security update; I could navigate smoothly from web page to web page.
A tech cleaned my caches, reset Safari, ran MacHelp mate, checked preferences and permissions for corruption via Utility, ran auto-maintenance scripts and went to Activity Monitor to see if any
applications were putting an unusual CPU or memory load on the system during startups (none appeared to be, Safari's maximum load around 40-60 CPUs as it initially struggled to load a page).
The Mac Mini is less than three years old, and I don't run games or other memory-draining applications.
I hope this helps you help me.
