El capitan extremely slow on end of 2013 iMac, especially at the start (5 minutes)

Hello

Recently, I went from an iMac end 2006 (installed 10.7.5) to a new end 2013 iMac (with el capitan) using the migration wizard.

My new iMac literally crawls at the start: before being "usable", it takes all five minutes to present the elements of office and start (I only dropbox, 1Password, Alfred littlesnitch enabled and I cleaned all the startup and user logon items old and systemic); After this the iMac works very well, even if it's not lightning fast I must say (looks like a little lag is present for each new task: opening applications, files and so on).

As soon as the iMac starts a time machine backup is started automatically.

I used etrecheck and nothing significant has shown and also one of the @linc scripts used to test the system (unfortunately, I'm not really able to fully understand the results, but perhaps that something is 'locked'...).

Console is spammed with messages, especially at startup but projector not only in regard to, mds, xpc...

I will post any other relevant information as requested, if anyone is willing to help.

Thanks in advance

Ciao

Without posting actual results Etrecheck and/or Linc-script, nobody will be able to guess what is happening.

    How can I confirm that this motherboard has this empty slot (short to open the computer).

  • Rumble of 21.5 end of 2013: iMac

    A few months ago, I became aware of a rumble. At first I thought it was Thunder far away and ignored, but after the noise continued for a few weeks, I realized, it was the computer, a late model 2013 21.5 "iMac.

    The noise is intermittent and not heard every day but almost certainly every day. He 'scolding' for a few minutes then stops for a while before doing it again. It seems to come from the rear left (that I see on the screen).

    Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    From your description of the problem it seems that the noise comes from an exhaust fan, likely to be worn or contaminated by debris.

    Have Apple evaluate it. Use the link https://www.apple.com/support/contact/ to find the service allowed in your area.

    Replacement, if necessary, is not particularly difficult or expensive.

  • Ray is not available for end of 2013 iMac Tracing?

    If anyone has any additional information that they would be willing to share, I would appreciate it.

    Thank you!

    Are you sure you need to use the traced the beam 3D rendering engine? This is a deprecated feature that is phased out in favour of means of working with 3D in After Effects. Unless you know that you really do need this feature, I recommend no friction on the issue of whether your hardware can use it.

    BTW, you can choose an option in the preferences of After Effects use a GPU not supported for this feature. But be warned: "unsupported", means what he says.

    Hello

    You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    Microsoft does not recommend the use of any registry cleaning software because any incorrect registry entry might prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Try to perform the clean boot on the computer.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.
    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  • Printing Office Jet Pro x 476-extreme slowness

    From one day to the other, one of our Office Jet Pro x 476 begins to print EXTREMELY slow. There are no recent changes on the computers involved, I just noticed that all 4 cartridges are close to being empty (black to 25%, rest about 20%). There is no other problems with this printer and it still prints high quality without another problem (smear,...), but it takes more than a minute to print 4 pages (no matter if I print a letter in black and white or a photo in high resolution with all the colors).

    You have a new printer, the problem is solved.

    If you use the exit event, you will likely have the same code on the date fields beginning and end, because they have an addiction to each other. Maybe better try the validate end date event, so that if a field is changed the event is fired. You can try the following to validate the event

    // Pls. note this FormCalc
    // End date should not less than Start date, else CLEAR it - Begin
    
    var stDate
    var endDate
    
    stDate = CON_START_DATE.rawValue
    endDate = $.rawValue
    
    if ( HasValue(endDate) ) then
        if (stDate > endDate) then

            $.rawValue = null

  • Slow pre-launch sequence on end of 2013 rMBP13

    Hi guys, I tried to understand this problem of slow boot for about a year and a half now, and I can not pin down what is the problem or how to fix this reliably.

    I have an end of 2013 rMBP 13 running El Capitan (although the problem existed in Yosemite as well, but I don't remember what happens in the Mavericks) and 10 Windows in bootcamp (it used to run windows 8, but then the slow start came with it as well). I don't remember exactly when this happened first, but it was about half a year or so after Yosemite was released. I was running Yosemite and windows 8 in bootcamp without problem before and Maverick and the same installation of windows 8 before a year very well.

    The problem:

    The laptop appear to have a slow sequence of pre-launch. I press the power button, hear the Apple chime, then wait about 20 to 25 seconds until the apple logo on the white black screen or selection of start up, screen am I holder of options. After the apple logo or the boot selection screen, it starts normally in less than 5 seconds on the desktop. All the following which works perfectly well without notable accidents and slowdowns during normal use. Also never actually, it fails to start or give any error message.

    The delay seems to also occur before the computer records the NVRAM reset - I must press Cmd/Opt/P/R for about 20 seconds before the screen backlight turns off, the computer restarts with a second chime.

    The biggest problem is I switch between OSX and Bootcamp quite often, and I need to sit near the computer and hold the option key for nearly half a minute each time when I do that... Otherwise everything else works as expected.

    Things I've tried:

    Reset NVRAM - I think it would work once a large earlier. Right now reset which does nothing for the boot time.

    Select volume OSX in the startup disk - I tried this time OSX recovery and even in the recovery of the internet. This used to work once or twice sporatically, but no longer works. I also tried setting Bootcamp partition as the starting volume, and it still does not work.

    Reset SMC - never done any good.

    Wipe the disk and reinstall - it's been a while since I've done it, but I remember that it worked fine when OSX is the only volume, but when I install bootcamp and then try to select OS x as the default volume, he is still confused and slow down during pre-launch.

    Repair of permissions of the drive and stuff - has never done any good.

    Wiping Bootcamp - worked at least once, but as soon as I reinstall it and boot in there and back, the same problem occurs.

    The changing property and rebuild kextcache-

    sudo chown root: admin /.

    sudo kextcache-system-pre-bound-kernel

    sudo kextcache-system-caches

    It was the last thing I tried with success. I have done this in the terminal about 3 months ago and restarted. Apple logo appeared in the 5 seconds of power and I was super excited. But then I started in bootcamp and returned and the pre-launch was always again. Now it is once again not even speed up the first reboot.

    Any idea guys? I feel as if it were an EFI problem where laptop computer confused at where to start from and he concludes then somehow in 20 seconds. But if that were the case why not selecting disk start not fix it? Also why it not immediately save the NVRAM reset?

    I don't know if you still have this issue, but I think I could have solved on my rMBP after finding http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/209-69-windows-bootcamp-black-screen-blinking-curseur-Age-boot(not without first OS X repartitioning and by performing a clean installation, which now seems as if was not necessary).

    I had to get Windows Recovery mode.  F8 does not seem to work with boot camp to the to do, I started Windows and held down the power button to interrupt the boot sequence, after that 2 - 3 times it would show "Please Wait" instead of the usual circle of points (10 Windows).  Otherwise you can use the Windows installation media, but I had only one practice ISO file I installed via boot camp assistant.

    Open the command (under Advanced Recovery).  Enter the following command:

    Bootrec.exe /FixMbr

    Bootrec.exe /FixBoot

    Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

    From there I could reboot and there was no delay start in Windows.  In now option button to select the startup disk also didn't cause any delay and was admissible.  I started to OS X and selected my OS X disk as the startup disk, restarted several times and did not have questions that I would have usually experienced.

    My guess is that it may have been caused by a recent update of Windows 10.

    Of course you can upgrade to El Capitan. But I think better if you can change the internal hard drive (SATA drive) in the SSD drive. You will get better results, faster than still, you only have 4 GB. This is mine... MacBook pro in early 2011.
