IMac is crazy slow
I have a Mid 2010, 27 "iMac with an i7 2.93 Ghz and 12 GB of memory. Ive got a disk of 1 TB with a little more than 300 concerts to the left.
I have an external drive connected via firewire 800, but I don't think I have even turned on during the past two weeks.
I know that the machine is well up there in years, but since the upgrade to El Capitan, I die right here.
I upgraded via the app store of Snow Leopard, a couple of weeks. It was not exactly smoking quickly with Snow Leopard, but this is ridiculous. If it's important, I also upgraded from Adobe CS5 Adobe CC (all applications). Pretty sure that the system had fallen behind b before installing Adobe, but I wrote chalked up things I'd read about Spotlight indexing still holding.
It is not just Adobe apps, however. Safari is slow. Office 11 apps, iWork ' 09, FCP apps. I can get a beachball simply by looking at the funny thing. And it is with applications unique solo performer with any other close.
By a discussion earlier, I logged in as a guest, and after initial 1st an application (tested CC Photoshop, Word and Pages) everything worked so well, it made me want to cry. So I guess the problem lies in my user account, but I don't have any idea what I need to do to fix it.
All tips will be appreciated.

Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information

Hi only1tu,
Have you tried to reboot the machine.
otherwise try to disable the GPU in the Lightroom preferences.
Go to the menu of Lightroom
Click on Preferences
Go to the performance tab
Uncheck the GPU
Restart the Lightroom.
Let us know if that helps.
Kind regards

iMac running ridiculously slow
Everything on my iMac 2012/2013 is slow stupid. To start, the opening of applications, new windows/tabs and same type is delayed.
I tried a few cleaners free antivirus with nothing as a problem and no help.
Help / a decent (willing to pay) antivirus recommendation would be very appreciated!
You might have a little worn on the RAM sticks. Either replace them or get an upgrade. I had the same problem with my iMac to mid-2011 and it has 4 GB of ram I upgraded to 12 GB and it works perfectly now.

iMac became very slow and unresponsive
Hello
I have an iMac which, in the last two days, suddenly became unusably slow. Almost every click brings up the spinning beachball even just after a reboot. iTunes cannot play a melody without pausing every minute or two. Same Safari is really slow, so I have still not tried more demanding such as Lightroom.
Its an iMac mid 2010, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD with 305 GB free. Im running El captain, 10.11.6
Any ideas what could be causing this or what I could do to remedy the situation? IM thinking I have to go through the pain of wiping the hard drive and reinstall everything. But I'd really rather avoid because I was planning on getting a new iMac when they release then them and I don't want to go through all that process again.
I hope someone has an idea of something I could try before doing this?
Thank you.
Andy

iMac is painfully slow startup
Hello
It is has been a problem for a while, but seems to have slightly worsened with El Capitan. After start-up or a restart, it is a good 6-8 minutes - without exaggeration - until my computer can begin to open programs without huge lag. About 10 minutes until it is at full speed.
iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Any ideas, or is this normal? I repaired disk permissions, flushed trash and generally keep the machine running as clean as possible without being an expert.
Thank you.
It is not normal, not even remotely.
Backup everything then check your hard drive. Slow start ups can be a symptom of a failing drive.

Why is my brand new 16 GB, i7 21 "iMac so so slow?
I recently bought an iMac 21 "with the following specifications.
21.5 "iMac 4K 2015 retina
Intel Core i7 3.3GHz
16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Intel Pro Iris Graphics 6200 1536 MB
Since the first day it worked remarkably slow. Even during the opening of things such as the finder and system preferences.
I currently own a macbook pro so that works 5 times faster than my iMac.
You have any suggestions of why this could be?
Thanks in advance
Where did you bought it leave?
Have you registered. (It is covered by a guarantee of 12 months).
You have an Apple store nearby?

OK, I know that my old iMac is done towards the end of his life and I use my 2nd Mac now, but this iMac (version 7.1, dating back to mid-2007) is now almost unusably slow, in the respect that it takes a few minutes running until I can move the cursor. The browser takes about 20 minutes to start up and just try to click on the buttons in dialogue to confirm actions causes the beachball to appear. He runs the last Mac OSX (El Capitan), all this so far. The memory is maxed out at 4 GB and it is around 80 GB of available disk space. He was one good horse to battle, using Photoshop and other. Now, he struggles to open TextEdit.
I ran utility disk to check problems (there is not) as well as caches, etc, to try to optimize the performance of compensation. I think the best solution now is to do a clean install. What would be the best way to do this? I have 10.6 disk (my mac still has an optical drive), I could do a clean install on, and then update again to 10.11, backup of data and my Time Machnine backup applications. Or I'd be best to just do a restore from Time Machine and does not return to 10.6?
What is the best procedure?

2011 27 "iMac running very slow - please help
Hello, I know it's an old computer, but it makes no sense as to why it is slow. When I got it, it was fast as lightning, now he struggles to keep Chrome and Photoshop open at the same time. I have reset the PRAM and SMC a couple of times, no results. The fans do not run particularly fast, and it's never really too hot. It's very slow start as well, and most of the time that I hesitate to open anything at startup for 5-10 minutes for fear of this gel horribly.

Please download and run a report of EtreCheck and then copy and paste the results into your answer.
That should reveal the reason why your Mac is slowing down.
Otherwise, it's just a guessing game.
Personal data is shared in the report
One thing you can try since it is slow to start. Open System Preferences > users and groups > login items. Delete a connection point at the time, and then restart your Mac to test.

Why my iMac 2011 running slow slow after this 10.11.3 safari update is in *?
I'm 100% sure that something is wrong at 10.11.3 day because my iMac was super quick before this update and I was happy in front of her. Safari is slow and web page as amazon blocking on every click, such as clicking the photo of products. I have given up, or to stop, but nothing works. and the whole system is also slow and now I don't know how to roll back if anyone knows how to roll back please please tell me now. Thank you

How can I make the system more effective and faster? I have 4 * 2 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz memory cards installed (improved 2 * 2 GB about 18 months ago). After the upgrade, the iMac has worked well, until she is considerably slowed down recently. I called Apple Support and they suggested that I upgrade my OS to El Capitan, which I did, but in fact the system has slowed a lot more now.
I would add just more memory (i.e. replaced 2 * 2 GB with 2 * 4 GB or replace all 4 * 4 GB)? Or does also clean files, repair, etc. as well? How can I do the clean up?
Please see the article below then post back with the results of the tests.

Tommyl,
To be honest, your systems is a complete mess with what has been installed on it. My recommendation would be to do a wipe and install and only install applications to update and do not install ANY antivirus, cleaning or ANY third party maintenance utility.
Manually restore your data files after reinstalling OS X and then choose which applications you really need.

iMac freezes / unstable / slow
Dear community
It looks like any program is the treatment on my Mac. But I never installed anything since the beginning except XCode (which comes from Apple). Since 3 years now just to "update" all the stuff, the system crashes from time to time. It restarts and it becomes to be hot without trial running. I checked on the activity monitor. Nothing except the Photo-Agent, Finder and some Apple services are running with no CPU usage. I can't believe it's a virus but everything is looking for a hidden process.

OSX - El Capitan
