The problem is obvious. You have not enough memory installed. 4 GB is barely enough to run the system, the bare minimum. Note that all of these processes 'killed because of insufficient RAM'? For your less double your RAM 8 GB. If you can swing it install the maximum amount of RAM your system can support.
When your system is running out of RAM it uses free space on your hard drive for what is called virtual memory. It reads and writes to your hard drive, as if it's real memory and slowing down operations a lot.

Mac incredibly slow after update of El Capitan
Hello world
I own a Macbook that I bought in 2013.
Data sheet:
13 "medio 2012
Processor: 2.5 Ghz Intel core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
Four days ago, that I've updated my system to El Capitan v10.11.6. At first, he seemed to be well-developed, but after about 12 hours, it started to become really slow - and I don't speak incredibly slow. Almost all of the clicks or typing a letter takes forever.
I downloaded a free version of CleanMyMac, and it shows that I have to constantly only between 50 and 300 MB of RAM free. I also read that you should let Spotlight indexes all yout files, but it maintains at the end and starting over.
I have about 90 of my 499 GB hard drive on the left.
Any ideas or solutions?
Two suggestions:
Dump to clean my mac it's crapware.
Run EtreCheck and report results here - often your problems are caused by incompatible third-party software and someone here might be able to spot it.

Safari now usually takes a long time to open the windows and tabs and enter the URL. Sometimes, it makes everything else on this slow user account. The problem does not exist in the other user accounts. The problem when you perform a safe boot.
I don't know when the problem started but I didn't notice the Mac and especially light ran more slowly after installing manually updating of Combo OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. I have rebuilt the Spotlight index by using the method of the preference system and Onyx. I have reset the SMC.
I also deleted cookies, disabled the Safari extensions and manually deleted the "com.apple.Safari" of the ~/Library/Caches folder. Maybe not in the right order or schedule however.
Checking the Console I see in the reports section of diagnoses listed user many accidents of 'nsurlstoraged '. Sometimes the new get generated without that user to do anything like that, often, if not always new are generated when a new tab or window is opened.
Here is an example of nsurlstoraged crash report less much of the section "binary Images:

My Mac is slow and might need a clean upwards. What software do you recommend?
My MacBook Pro has a version of Mac OS X 10.7.5 (old man) but recently started running slowly.
In my view, it might needs a clean upwards. What software do you recommend?
There is not I would recommend or use applications 'clearing '.
What do you mean by slow? Rotation beach balls?

Why when I download stuff my mac becomes slow?
Hello. I have a MacBook Pro since June of the current year (2.5 GHz Intel Core i5) and one month or there, it started to get really slow whenever I'm download stuffs from Safari and when I add new music to iTunes in the folder "automatically add. When I do, my Mac begins to freeze, and I can't do anything. Even, I have to restart it pressing the power button. It's really boring, I can't download anything now what do I do?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: It has 389 free GB of 500 GB and 'El Capitan' to operate.
When you say freeze, you get a rotation beach ball, or it becomes totally insensitive.

FCPX El Capitan new Mac Pro SLOW
I just add a new computer to our edit arsenal. It's a Mac Pro 2.7ghz - 12 CORE - 30 MB L3 cache - with 64 GB of DDR3 - 1 TB of Flash storage memory - Dual AMD over-pants D700 6 GB VRAM - essentially the full load Mac Pro. 10.2.2 FCPX running
Why my not make happen almost instantly? I put in back made in 0.3 seconds. It seems to me with all this power - this thing has absolutely scream - and yet I don't see a significant difference between the calculation of my MacBook MONOCŒUR i7 with 16 GB DDR and this monster. My MacBOOK works always - Yosemite, but my new computer came with El Capitan. I was able to get this added to our budget by telling our Board of how long it would save. $10,000 for a computer, it must blow my mind. It's also take about a full minute to FCPX bring up a project when I start.
With rendered BG set this short interval of time. you have tapped on the brakes in FCP constantly. (This isn't actually rendered BG; he makes during periods of inactivity.). My suggestion would be to turn it off. With this kind of horses, you shouldn't make except for the more complex compositions. Or if you need to before export.
If turn off made does not improve things a bit, I begin to wonder about the project - if there was something on the media - or an effect that was driving the MP to madness. Something like the reduction of the noise applied to a long clip really bind any machine in knots.

Hello
I'm on macbook pro 13-inch (mid-2012), and without knowing it, I turned on the Arch of fire during a software update (El Capitan 10.11.5). The encryption process has started and if I don't want to read more, which will make my slow mac? or encryption is slow mac anyway?
or at the end of the encryption process, my mac is slow?
waiting for a quick response.
Thank you
Prosunkanti Sengupta
I have a MacBook Air with active FileVault 2012. There is no significant difference in performance. Note, however, that there will be a performance impact until the original encryption is complete and that it doesn't have a way to stop it.

Mac running very slow and stall
Hello
Grateul for any help you can give. I searched the forums for advice and have tried several solutions but without success so far.
I have a macbook pro, which is 3 1/2 years. Used primarily for surfing the internet and word processing. For the past 3 weeks, that it worked if slow, it is almost useless to try to use it at all. All applications take a long time to load and even typing has a delayed response. Safari crashes frequently. As mentioned above, I searched the forums and followed the advice given for example using disk utility to repair disk and permissions of the drive (have been several attempts to realize that he has appeared to expire several times, but I came to the conclusion, with no improvement) / reboot in recovery mode / stop and hold shift/alt/cmd/delete etc.. Nothing I found so far has helped it's why I started a new thread asking for advice (I understand very well I'm not the first person to ask why my mac is slow!).
Information that could help find a solution, a year or two ago I had to install sophos and tuneupmymac to access the e-mails from work. I thought that the problem may be connected to either one of them so I uninstalled sophos, but I failed to uninstall tuneupmymac because advice online on the website of tuneupmymac do not appear to work (the option Uninstall does not appear where it is shown in the guide, and I can't find anywhere else), nor the advice I've seen elsewhere (when I type in the path to file to Library/preferences in ' ") go to the folder"it says not 'found'). The only other explanation I could think was that I could have picked up a virus from a memory stick friend used to transfer pictures about 4 weeks ago. The problems started shortly after, so it would make sense in terms of timing. Otherwise, I tried to complete the upgrade to El Capitan, as I thought that might help, but it can't seem to finish right now (probably because of issues that make my mac to run slowly).
Am at a bit of a loss if it's a last cry for help before considering in the store! All opinions are appreciated. If I missed the obvious information, apologies - I'm a total novice. Provide any additional information that might help identify the problem.
Thank you very much

I've recently updated to El captain and now my Mac (which is quite old) is slow dreafully. Take everything 10 times more than before. Any tips on speeding to the top?
I have two Macs running El Capitan, which is old enough (2008 iMac) and am not at all have this problem. If you look through these forums, you will find that many of the slow running issues have been resolved simply by getting rid of the 3rd party anti virus and Mac apps from cleaning. Here, the consensus seems to be that these applications are useless on Macs and slow them down at best and are downright harmful in the worst case. I have none of them on any of my Macs and you have never run in the problems of virus or malware from OS X launch back to 1999. My advice would be to uninstall everything these programs from your Mac and see if that helps. And don't bother to re install later. You do not claim them, particularly the so-called cleaners. OS X does this work by himself.

How can I fix mini slow mac after memory upgrade from 4 GB to 16 GB
I have a Mac Mini (ver 6.2 end 2012, i7 to 2.3 GHz, OS X 10.10.5) that I just put new memory to upgrade to 4 GB 15 GB (Crucial 16 GB = 8GBx2 kit corresponding blades plug their scanner software and HW Apple specs). I use HDMI to my Vizio 32 inch HDTV and now my Mac runs slower for typing, clicks, etc, but the software seems to work fime. I have checjed the "about this Mac" and it shows the memory is available and authorized to use. I also run app "Cleaner" memory and it shows the total memory available and currently in use.
Then what should I do to solve the slow?
Thank you in advance fr that all help someone of you provide.
Ron/Nightstyles
I run a mini end 2012 with 16 GB. It's fast... I also have SSD which also provides the spectacular for startup performance improvement and any disk activity.
Have you checked for any process out of control by using the activity monitor?
https://discussions.Apple.com/message/20379601#20379601#20379601
Have you reset the NVRAM and SMC memory since installing the RAM?
Restart and hold down the command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
To reset the SMC?
Basically the kindly stop and turn off the power for 10 to 20 seconds.

Computer running very slow for macOS
Since I've upgraded to Mac OS this morning, my computer barely works. I frequently get beach balls, and even simple tasks take minutes where they used to take seconds.
It's an iMac of 2011 with 4 GB of memory.
Difficulty installing Sierra
Try each of them in order. A test to see if the computer works properly:
- Reset the PRAM
- Reset the controller (SMC) system management
- Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It's slower than a standard home.
- Repair the disk by booting to the HD recovery immediately after that the chime press the command and R keys until the Utility Menu appears. Choose disk utility and click on the continue button. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) volume entry in the list to one side. Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait the fact button appear. Disk utility and return in the Utility Menu. Restart the computer from the Apple Menu.
- Reinstall OS X by booting from the Recovery HD using the command and R keys. When the Utility Menu appears, select reinstall OS X and then click on the continue button.
