• MacBook Pro mid-2012 very slow

  Hello

  My MacBook Pro is very slow (it has gotten worse recently). Applications to take ages to load, Firefox is hogging resources and very slow, get the focus of the mouse has a huge lag and I was spinning.

  Currently I have 4 GB of RAM and is considering the upgrade to 16 GB. You run an EtreCheck report (below). Is there anything else I need to do? Why he began to be so slow after years of reasonable speed? Is there something I can adjust in Firefox?

  Opening documents and get stuff done becomes frustrating!

  Thank you for your support.

• Slow Mac - EtreCheck does not validate

  My Mac worked very slow as of late and I use EtreCheck to try to identify any problems. He discovered a few Adware on my machine but I was unable to delete due to an EtreCheck error.

• Mid 2012 very slow MBP - 20 minute Start Up

  My MacBook Pro for mid-2012 running El Capitan has recently become very slow and slower. The spinning wheel occurs around every 1 to 2 minutes. even in writing, it is very difficult due to the offset. every thing is in condition of market but VERY quirky. Even at the start, it takes about 20-30 minutes to start and yet 10 to log in. this all started happening a few days ago a little less normal use. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  The processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  RAM is 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Note: the laptop was left alone for 2 weeks and was emptied of its power during the holiday season. do not know if it had nothing to do with it. I pulled up without problem, and a few days later the problems started.

  I don't think that the battery has nothing to do with it.

  How is the health of your hard drive.  You have the classic symptoms of may not be not HD.

  Utility drive SMART status? ERD?

  You have an external bootclone to boot from to see if your problems go away.

  What do you see in the activity monitor to suggest that the RAM is fine?

  The EtreCheck report shows that you have only 33MB of free RAM in time, which can only cause slowdowns. Google Chrome only takes 1.3 GB of it. Chrome is a Devourer of enormous resources, so if possible, try to quit smoking by using another browser.

  My iMac os 10.7.5. has worked so so slow.  Internet and in-house programs.  so went to drive utilities check the disc and everything was ok.  I then noticed four s dmg with Installer below.  I don't know what they are except that they are in a temporary folder.  When I go to eject or move to trash message says "disc"BYeuUz.dmg"cannot be disassembled.   Make sure that all applications and files are closed on this disc"there are more than four of those files, they have changed as well.  Does anyone have this problem and this could be the reason for the slowness

• Messages App on very slow Mac

  It takes forever to write (recognized by the application) and send a message. This question has recently begun, but it becomes more and more so. It's very frustrating so please help!

  May be a corrupt .plist.

  Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

  Quit the application.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

  Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

  If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

  If this does not work, repeat the above, but remove the com.apple.imagent.plist

  Thanks for your help

  Benni

  Contrary to what you read, displaying stuff "etrecheck" this site is not the right way to get help.

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

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys 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

  in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

  List of newspapers seen ▹ display

  in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

  Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

  The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

  Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

  Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

  Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

  If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

• My macbook pro mid-2012 is very slow. Do I need a new battery?

  Hello world

  Support on this community has helped me tremendously before so I thought I'd post again about a new problem.

  I upgraded my Mac with an SSD, which works very well, with more RAM; However, recently, it has been very slow and train, and I don't know why. RAM is not being crazy, so it must be something else.

  After reading the other posts, I'm thinking maybe I need a new battery? I mean I have 893 cycles ahah. Could someone help with this?

  5. 6 easy tips to speed up OS X Yosemite on your Mac.

  Avoid using third-party cleaning software. This software does more harm than good. You don't need it. All computers become slower over time even in normal conditions of use. Experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch, from time to time; or every time that the installation of a major update of the OS. Do means if you must maintain regular and several backups.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Delete unnecessary anti-malware software and any software that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan activity. Also, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the treatment with The Spinning Beach Ball of Death.

  The ultimate solution

  Back up everything, wipe the drive, reinstall OS X and restore your data from backup. Reinstall the third-party software of original/zero media.

• Mac Mini became very slow all of a sudden

  This morning, my Mac Mini became very, very slow. It's a 2009 with 4 GB of RAM and hdd 120Gb standard.

  I run with a keyboard and bluetooth mouse and due to its slowness, I wanted to run the hardware test to see what was wrong. (As is always the original HARD disk, I am wary of its remaining life expectancy). However, everything I try, I can't start anything on the mini as a normal reboot. If I have D, hold down option-D, hold SHIFT to safe mode, nothing seems to influence his start-up.

• MBP 13 inch end 2011got very slow after update OSX 10.11

  After the update my Mac OS X 10.11.6, it has become very slow (wheel that rotates all the time). It's not just Safari (in fact I stopped to use it), but the overall performance of my Mac.  I ran firstaid OSX and Onyx, but nothing solves this problem.  Any help, please?

  MacBook Pro 13-, end 2011, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, 250 GB free

  Slow performance after an upgrade are often because of incompatible software. Make sure that all your applications are up to date.

  Difficulty of slow start in OS X | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews

  How to fix the slow down time and start. | MacTip.net

  6 easy tips to speed up OS X Yosemite on your Mac.

  Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan activity. Also, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the treatment with The Spinning Beach Ball of Death.

  The ultimate solution

  Back up everything, wipe the drive, reinstall OS X and restore your data from backup. Reinstall the third-party software of original/zero media.
