I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java, it installs adware. The more I studied, the more information, I've seen say that most of the Web sites and software do not use Java on Mac more. So I deleted everything related with Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java. It will be safe if I get it directly from the Oracle site?
You can download the installer for OS X directly from Oracle. Be sure to uncheck everything installs 'optional' which can appear at the beginning (I think on Windows it wants to install McAfee trial or the toolbar Bing - not really malware, more as desired and useless crud-ware). I have a course Java JRE install on my MacBook Pro retina like some internal tools we have developed to work are currently java and I use a tool of u. Toronto called CytoScape is Java. Sites Web will use Java Script, a very different beast and does not require a full Java or JRE install. But with Java/JRE installed, just be sure of the source of any software that you download and install that is java based (as you should with all the software that you put on your machine).
In addition, for PhotoShop, it says that you need the legacy Java 6 for OS X? If so, then don't waste your time on the current version, just install that release 6 legacy.

Top of desktop Mac became very slow all of a sudden. Could there be any virus. How do I solve the problem
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.

Why Mac Pro is slow at the opening of the apps?
Compare to the other mac, my mac pro is so slow at the opening of the apps and any other use. Memory is 4 GB and still half store is available. This place since the case open. But other Mac that we have in the House so different from mine. Should I call it Karma? Next to no where my CD player does not read any CD more. If original or a cheap it is not serious. Additionally CDs can only release by restarting my mac.

Mid 2011 Mac Mini running slow/a lot of balloons of beach/HDD to research and writing
I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini, which runs slower than a snail's pace. I frequently get beach balls as I type this message. Startup time is very long, and the hard drive is often written / search/access for several minutes at random throughout the day.
This seemed to start after I have updated to El Capitan 10.11.6. I decided a few weeks to reinstall OS X without doing a thorough cleaning. It did not help the situation, so I then proceeded to install the latest beta of Mac OS 10.12 to see if that helped. Nope. I don't think I have a bad hard drive, either.
I have just run an EtreCheck and copied below. Any ideas? I don't want to run my computer at the Apple store. Thank you!

Mac is too slow, Mail is blocked and will not open!
Hello
Two problems in one - slow Mac and the Mail app crashing!
I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Since the last few days my Mac slowed considerably and takes a long time to start, search, and perform several tasks. Everything freezes and the small circle of color appears in almost everything I try to do. After waiting for a while, it could be 4-5 minutes, I can get back to work.
I used only about 150 GB of my 1 TB HARD drive space.
Today the mail has crashed and when I click on the 'Open' button it goes down just yet once without opening the window. Other applications like suggestd and some internal applications also keep crashing.
Can someone help me understand what to do? Thank you!!
Hello cbhuta,
Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I have a problem with your Mac after update of OS X El Capitan, is not what you expect. If I understand correctly, you are unable to open the mail and your Mac is running more slowly than expected. To refine and resolve this problem, I suggest these steps in the following order:
1. start using disk utility to repair all easily correctable problem on OS X, or on your drive can be attributed to these issues by following the steps in this article:
Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair
2. then use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory.
Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode3. you can find out if this unexpected behavior is related to the user file or parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.
How to test a question in another account on your Mac.
See you soon!

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

End of 2012 Mac Mini running slow - about to try the following
Hi all
The performance of my Mac Mini is trying to drop off and looking for possible solutions to this, I can in this thread: Mac Mini (end 2012) is a little slow.
A few months ago I updated to El Capitan, and am now on 10.11.3. Since this update, my system performance fell substantially. I would like to see if I can get my Mini for best results there lately. One of the questions I think contributes to the Mini, less than excellent performance is my router configuration because of environmental constraints, my Mini has 2 walls and about 50 feet, which separates it from the wireless router. Currently, I don't think that there is something I can do to help that issue, so for now, I put that side.
In reading the above thread, I have also still only 4 original GB or RAM and the original supplied with my Mini.
RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
HD: I have not changed the HD that came with the mini, so I guess I have the 2.5 GHz 500 GB (5400 RPM) hard drive it is stated in the specifications.
Lately, I noticed Chrome running progressively slower (to the point of frustration). Therefore, I uninstalled Chrome and returned using Safari. As more and more, I use Safari, I think that his performance is what it is. I tried the Brave and my experience with it is mixed (at least on this point).
Question: I guess the first thing to do is to increase my RAM to 4 GB - and I will order the RAM here in a moment. What browser is best to use in this case: Chrome? Safari? Brave? Something else? Or it is better to run through all these during the upgrade of RAM is installed?
Let me start with that and I will update this thread as mandate experience. Thanks in advance for any help and / or thoughts.
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.

Mac problem and slow reel - 10.11.3
Just after the last update, I've done two or three days before, to 10.11.3. on my MBP, early 2011, I have problems with slow Mac, every click and type are followed by 10 to 20 sec, sometimes more, to wait than roulette to finish the "beachballing. Let alone having more applications running - I need to do to the work I'm doing at the moment.
I did a repair disk utility, it fixed a problem of partitioning and improved for an hour or two, but the problem came back.
Also had OnyX check the disk start to set permissions etc. - who also helped but for a little while.
During or after the upgrade began the FileVault encryption (it gets paused if not plugged in power) and it is not yet finished. It's the only thing that happened at the time that I can associate this slowdown of the problem; Although I can't tell if it is related or the origin of the problem.
I wanted to make a Time Machine backup, but knowing there ages and could be confused with this question, I did not yet.
I can hardly use the computer and just hope I can see the answers here. I was surprised that I managed to type a message here. I will try to install EtreCheck, hope it will work and send a report here.
Thank you in advance!
Yes, post your report EtreCheck a step to help us hopefully will fix the bewitching of your computer problem. Before you do it well, you have antivirus programs (AVG, Avira, Avast, Intego, Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton, Sophos, Trusteer, etc) or 'maintenance' apps (AVG Cleaner, CCleaner, CleanMyMac, CleanMyDrive, MacCleaner, MacKeeper, Memory Cleaner, TuneMyMac, etc.) installed?

Your description evokes so many different things and does not clear exactly what is happening with that. Please, take a deep breath and start over.
Explain as if you were saying the problem to a small child. If you have experiences, specify the exact configuration and the exact results that accompanied him. We cannot see your Mac, and your descriptions make too many assumptions. What are the results go with what configurations? is there a Wi - Fi connection? Ethernet, BOTH? or?

Why my mac is very slow to empty the trash?
I'm trying to fix an external hard drive, leaving all the files and the re-formatting it. However when I tried to trash the files after repair, it's delete files at a rate of one every 3-5 seconds. There are more than 1 million files to remove. How can I speed things up?
Please relaunch the Finder, and then on the Finder menu bar, select
▹ Finder Preferences... ▹ Advanced
and uncheck the box marked
Empty the trash safely
If it is checked. You will only have this box if you are using OS X 10.10 or more. Try to empty the trash again.
