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.

  • Satellite Pro A40 works now painfully slow

    Hi all, I have a satellite pro a40 which has served me well for a long time here.

    Although it runs painfully slow, now all the programs, including the internet despite my speed of 4 MB.

    I have zone alarm that made regular virus and spyware scans, I tried to defrag and disk clean up but not of the above solve the problem long term.

    Short of ideas, if anyone out there can suggest a remedy? Thank you.

    Hi Urbansafari,

    There are a few things you can try to improve the speed of your A40 - I guess you're talking about the speed (or lack thereof!) to which your laptop seems to be tasks such as opening new windows, programs etc.?

    The first thing to do is to look at the list of all programs start; Uninstall anything you don't need really or use is a good way of clutches back disk space (Windows uses hard disk as 'virtual memory' space to supplement the RAM mounted inside).

    The next thing to do is look at what programs are started in the background when you start Windows. To do this, click Start, then run and type msconfig. In the window that opens, click on the start right tab and you will see a drop-down list of all the programs that start with Windows. Without recognition program names, it may be best to leave them because they can be processes required by Windows. Uncheck all the programs you want to start automatically the next time you turn on the computer. When you are done, click on save and you will be prompted to restart the A40 for the changes to take effect.

    It is perhaps that a new installation of Windows is needed to delete all the temporary files and the old registry entries that have accumulated to over time, in which case backup all your data before running the recovery disc.

    One last thing to consider is the weather you may qualify for an upgrade memory HDD largest capacity, which are both reasonably good solutions worked for a slow running computer.

  • Webcam Live mail 2011 slow startup

    Since the upgrade to windows live essentials 2011 I'm having a lot of problems with the direct mail and messenger, start up times are very long 2-3 minutes before programs start up, no problem, but when the program began, but it works correctly.

    The computer is clean and free of viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, etc.

    I uninstalled live essentials and cleaned prior to relocation and have also option I tried to fix it but the slow startup problem still remains.

    Anti virus that is used is to combine with antimalwarebytes Kapersky.

    Vista sp2, ram 4 GB, amd 64 dual operating system.

    No other problems with other software

    Live icon in the lower right corner turns on immediately, but then the system hangs for 2-3 minutes before the start of the program, thought that it may be to do with the live sign in so disabled that but no difference.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I'll try to go back to a previous version of live mail if possible.

    Thank you very much

  • Lightroom PAINFULLY slow.  Someone at - it a cure?

    Lightroom is running PAINFULLY slow.  The question is more exacerbated when spotting, how it is almost impossible to do the work.

    I had this problem repeatedly with lightroom, and others have as well.  It seems that no solution for it.  It really seems as if no one at Adobe care half of these questions.

    I'm running a PC with the following specifications, and so I do not understand the reason for the delay.

    CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4930K

    Graphics card: ASUS STRIX GTX970

    OS drive: Samsung 850 Pro

    Project drive: Samsung 950 Pro

    MB: ASUS P9X79 PRO

    RAM: 32GB

    I've attached a screenshot of my system features:

    system.jpg

    What version of Lightroom?

    The question is more exacerbated when spotting, how it is almost impossible to do the work.

    Yes, it's a drawback known spot removal/adjustment Brush tool, if you do a lot of spotting or adjustment of brush, Lightroom slows down.

    Some things you can try

    • If Lightroom 6 or Lightroom CC, disable the GPU acceleration
    • Do all your spot healing/brushing as the next ╔diter last step
    • The final stage of editing, turn on the calibration of the lens (if desired)
    • Get a faster processor

    If none of that works, make room and healing brush in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

    NOTICE: I speak for myself only (and certainly not for Adobe, I have does not work and never worked for), but this non-destructive editing technology they built in Lightroom is a fantastic technology. except in the case where you do a lot of brushing or healing spot, in which case the technology requires have a lot more power than most computers, and so for a lot of brushing or healing spot, technology fails.

  • AE painfully slow and prone to crashes

    Despite a new computer powerful legacy is painfully slow and prone to accidents, often with 'sorry' messages about this duty planting now. some tips to make it faster and more stable? I already use the resolution quarter instead of full because I prefer the same speed if with blurry images. I am also very in the Organization of the project and do not have something heavy, but the program is like a little baby, often while rendering for previewing of the ram drive and slows down like crazy and often crashes. It also seems to ignore the Task Manager end tasks when frozen, forcing me to wait longer and then takes a lot of time for me to reopen it, often just for re - crash after clicking on the icon of the drive ram again. I use an i5 QuadCore 8 GB windows 8.1 office and after effects cs6

    8 GB of RAM could be considered "a bit high" for Windows if you are just in MS Word or Internet Explorer, but for the AE, you're barely satisfying the minimum requirements.  I have 48 GB and it's barely enough for draft resolutions (4K) more complicated or higher.

    System requirements | After Effects

    Try to reduce the RAM reserved for other applications (preferences > memory & multiprocessing > RAM for other applications), using an SSD for your OS/programs and using an SSD for your caches.

    Some of the information below is useful (although somewhat outdated specifically regarding Ray Tracing).

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Any imac still crashes at startup

    I have just recived an OBS iMac (20-inch early 2008). It has never been connected to the internet, so it has never been updated. The hard disk is almost full, and it was constantly freezing upwards. After the previous owner bought a new computer, they gave the old one to me. I was counting on factory reset it, but when I push the power button it seems to freeze instantly after hearing the chime. Occasionally, he displays the folder with a question mark or apple, but hangs soon after. I tried to hold 'shift' on start-up, but also ('command' + 'R') and 'option', but it freezes on a white screen.

    I was wondering if there is anything else I could try to reset. If this isn't the case, I was counting on the attempt to start using an external hard drive, then reset the HDD internal. It's the first mac I owned, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Command + R (recovery of the Internet) does not work on a Mac running 10.5.2.

    The problems go beyond freezes at startup, considering it's a Mac of opportunity > Changing owner of a Mac of opportunity | Communities

    The question mark at startup folder means that the Mac cannot locate a system folder to boot from and there that most likely the drive has failed on a Mac in early 2008

    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.

  • 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
