My new iMac runs slowly

Hello. First time poster. I use Mac Laptops since 2008 and have been super happy with them. Got my first office in April, but didn't really use it until about 2 months ago (perform a certain work of photoshop and illustrator). I was immediately surprised by the slow the iMac running right from the start. I kept hope he would run faster, but it didn't, and it's so frustrating. Basically, I get the color wheel when I'm trying to do. Almost every command takes much longer it would take on my laptop more old. I can't imagine that this is normal. I have applecare, but I didn't drag my 3 grandsons and the iMac to the store just to have to tell me, it's good. Following the suggestion of another post, I saw, I did etrecheck and he said that the performance was good (I did not understand the rest of the report). Any advice?

Hi tinyhouse, can you please share the EtreCheck report with us?

  • How to put on a new iMac running El Capitan iPhoto?

    I have an iMac 2007 end running Yosemite 10.10.5 with only 4 GB of memory.  It has iPhoto 9.6.1 I downloaded on the App store in late 2014.  I use it extensively for thousands of photos.  I intend to move to a new iMac, or possibly one of the Apple laptops in a month.  There El Capitan.

    Reading these forums, I understand that el Capitan will run iPhoto if it is of a certain version which, I believe, iPhoto 9.6.1 qualifies.  I would also say that the App store in my list of "Bought" an iPhoto to buy in late 2014, this which I think is the version that I use now. I have also some Time Machine backups.

    My question is what would the process of loading the application on the new iMac iPhoto?  After you have configured the new iMac I would go to the App store and download this version (even if it has a button 'Open' However as opposed to a button "Download" next to the iPhoto application); or maybe transfer from a Time Machine backup sort.  Reading these forums, I understand that you must pay attention to setting up a new iMac, that is, that some people have unconsciously converted their libraries to the new 'Photos' and does iPhoto can't go back - al least without too much difficulty.  Also after loading iPhoto on the new iMac how I would get my number (four) iPhoto libraries on the new iMac?

    I realize has 'Photos' will in the future with Apple and that I might convert some time, but at that time iPhoto are perfect for me and am not ready to change right now.

    Thanks for any help

    1. here's how:

    After you have configured the new iMac would be go to the App store and download this version (even if it has a button 'Open' However as opposed to a button "Download" next to the iPhoto application)

    It says 'Open' now that it's on your machine. On the new, he'll say 'download '.

    2. This is not a problem in any form:

    Reading these forums, I understand that you must pay attention to setting up a new iMac, that is, that some people have unconsciously converted their libraries to the new 'Photos' and does iPhoto can't go back - al least without too much difficulty.

    Photos does nothing for an iPhoto library at all. It creates a new version that works for himself, but leaves the completely intact iPhoto library. You just have to worry about this.

    Be absolutely certain that you will have to switch to a new application. Sooner or later, a version of the operating system will come along who are not running iPhoto. Unfortunately, the app is a dead-end.

  • iMac runs slowly

    My iMac has turned slowly lately and I don't know if my kids have downloaded some sort of application or software that is the cause of the problem.  I say this because my wife has been doing google continues security alerts that an "App" is trying to connect to my girls google account.  I used disk utility to run the disc and check the repair disk but nothing wrong was found.  I have since run erte check tonight and posted the results.  I'm curious to know if anyone sees smoking guns:

    Well, your system seems well except it is lack of RAM. An iMac 2009 end can support up to 32 GB of RAM, I recommend you install 8 GB that you would get up to 12GB. If you decide to do, then use only Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com) RAM. iMacs are skittish about the use of high quality RAM. The two recommended providers who provide at reasonable prices and outstanding customer service.

  • I use CS3 for years, now I have a new iMac running 10.11.2 and none of my CS3 no longer works. Should I upgrade? the customer support has been very useful.

    Yes, that's basically it.

    I don't know who would say allows you to place the Adobe program files in the trash, but it was very bad advice.

    Uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and Adobe Creative Suite 3 products

    If you manually deleted an application or CS3 edition by deleting their files and you cannot reinstall applications, run the Adobe CS5 cleaner tool. The CS5 cleaner tool works with CS3, CS4 and CS5 products. See installation problems with the CS5 cleaner tool | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 for instructions on downloading and using the tool.

  • After the migration to the new iMac 10.11.3 - unable to repair permissions on your Photos App library

    I bought a new iMac running El Capitan and migrated from my old iMac running 10.6.8 and opening of the Photos app after migration ended I see the error "failed to repair permissions on your library. Initially, when I open the Photo app, I'm asked to select the library migrated or create a new. I select the library migrated and then see the above error.

    I tried on my new iMac running disk utility, and there is no error reported. "I tried too hold down the command and option keys when opening the Photo app and I go as far as the window pop up prompting me that" you are about to repair of the 'iPhoto Library' library but after selecting the repair, it returns the error "year error occurred while repairing permissions" and citing is the only option given.

    I then tried to go back to my old iMac and did a full rebuild of my photo library using the command and option keys when opening iPhoto App and also ran disk utility. Then I made another backup from time machine fees and moved once more to my new iMac. This has not improved the question, and I see the same mistakes.

    I also tried the iPhoto App 3rd party download manager but it does not allow me to open the application because it returns the error iPhoto Library Manager, must have iPhoto 8.1.2 or later must be installed. Of course when you run 10.11.3. My App Photo conforms to this requirement.

    I am really confused on this issue and would appreciate any help or advice for this problem.

    Kind regards

  • slow printing in CS6 ID on the new iMac

    My HP Laserjet 1320 printing is very slow ID CS6 (V 8.0.1) and other Adobe apps on my new iMac running OS 10.11.6. About 4 to 5 minutes before printing begins, even on the pages of text only. Printing has been very good to CS6 on the same printer on the old computer, MacPro under Snow Leopard. The new and older computers have 8 GB of memory. Any ideas?

    InDesign CS6 only is not supported under El Capitan. You would be better advised to upgrade to InDesign CC2015.

  • CS5, installed from a backup does not work in the new iMac w / El Capitan; the discs moved

    My 2011 iMac has a failing hard drive. I downloaded a full backup, including the CS5, in a new iMac running El Capitan. None of the Adobe programs will run, even after I installed Java SE 6 & restarted. A Setup from disks, starting with Acrobat 9 Pro disc and after dragging the applications icon, gave me this: "the operation cannot be completed because one or more required items be found.» (Error code - 43) »

    I deleted programs meeting CS5, rebooted and tried to load again from the disk of Acrobat 9 Pro. After dragging the applications icon, I got this: ' the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" cannot be read or written. ". (Error code - 36) »

    Updated his computer at El Capitan my wife and charge of Java SE 6, and his CS5 still works. What can be done in my case? Thanks to all in advance!

    Download from a backup will not work.

    You must install it.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/CS5-product-downloads.html

    But CS5 wil cause a lot of errors on El Capitan.

    They simply are not (fully) compatible.

    Just search for it on the forum, you will find a lot of threads.

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 no longer works since the migration to the new iMac. How can I re - install?

    I have a subscription Adobe CC for InDesign, but am still ongoing for Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS5. Recently all migrated to a new iMac running Yosemite, and since then, Dreamweaver does more (no problems with Photoshop). See screen shot of the error message. I thought that the simple answer would be to reinstall but can't figure out how. I don't have an installation disc - CS5.5 was a download. But when I log into my account, Adobe, CS5 products are not listed. I vaguely remember my manager has bought a lot of licenses for us user, and I have a note of the serial numbers.Screen Shot 2015-07-10 at 10-07-15, 18.11.39.png

    If you have the info set, you should be able to use the cleanup tool to remove the program all together (migrating from one machine to another rarely ever works), then download the correct version of Adobe, install and enter your registration information to activate...

  • Impossible to get CS4 to work on the new iMac with the Mavericks

    I just bought a new iMac running the Mavericks and used Migration Assistant to migrate my old iMac. (I did twice!) Since then, I am unable to use CS4 on my new iMac. He asked my serial number that I type in but keep get a big red X next to it :-(

    I disabled CS4 from my old iMac, including the removal of the serial number.

    I downloaded and installed Java for OS x

    I followed solutions 1 and 2 on http://helpx.Adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-Mac-OS.html

    Solution 1 resulted in nothing (there was no FlexNet folder in my library or anywhere else on my computer)

    Solution proposed 2 download the licenses Adobe, but the LicenseRecovery111.dmg file repair utility was not recognized, so does not open so it's not very useful!

    Solution 3 suggests repair disk permissions - as this is a new download of the Mavericks, I have not tried it yet

    Solution 4 suggests reset the permissions on the folder of FlexNet Publisher licensing service (Solution 1 suggested to delete it in the Library/Preferences folder and yet it is now apparently in the folder/Library/Application Support!)

    Solution 5 suggests reset permissions on the Adobe PCD folder - there isn't one on the new or the old iMac!

    Solution 6 proposes to delete the cache.db - journal in the Adobe PCD folder - see above

    Solution 7 suggest re-formatting the drive in a file system that is not case sensitive! Not really inclined to do

    Solution 8 - reinstall - new iMac doesn't have a DVD drive then how so I do? No doubt it will not solve the problem in Solution 7 anyway?

    Solution 9 - contact Adobe support - I did and spent some time on the chat with them that to say that I don't a not qualify for their help and to go to the forums

    I have searched the forums and tried various suggested corrections but no luck.

    Please can someone help before I have pull out all my hair

    Download the demo and activate it with your serial number:

    http://prodesigntools.com/download-Adobe-CS4-and-CS3-free-trials-here.html

    Be sure to follow the instructions.

    You probably need to run UN-install it first to clean up the old files.

  • InDesign CS4 crashes on startup after the migration to the new iMac

    Hello

    I recently used Migration Assistant to move the contents of my old iMac running OS X 10.5.8 to my new iMac running OS X 10.7.3.  Unfortunately, whenever I try to launch InDesign CS4, it crashes without giving me an error message. I already could not start Illustrator CS4 on this new iMac and I received this error message:

    "Fatal error - missing component Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/customer 4.0.0/VersionCue.framework.

    and I was able to transfer the file Client 4.0.0 on my new iMac and Illustrator CS4 please stand up and running.

    What can I do to get InDesign running on my new iMac?

    You will not be able to download Adobe's CS4. They have downloads of the current version.

    Are you sure? (I'm confused about this and my Adobe Downloads aren't the consumer normal ones so I can't easily check, but I have a number of reasons to be skeptical... certainly old volume licensees can continue to (re) - download old versions.)

  • How can I selectively transfer files from an iMac 2009 to a new iMac in 2015? The two running os 10.11

    How can I selectively transfer files from an iMac 2009 to a new iMac in 2015? The two running os 10.11.3.

    I do it with a G4 OS Tiger and the Mavericks MacBook by plugging into an Ethernet jack on my router and by enabling the sharing of files on the G4 in System Preferences > sharing.  If items are placed in a folder called 'Public', it can be read by anyone on the network by logging in as a guest. Otherwise, if I login with my user ID on this computer I get access read/write for all of my folders.

    Get an error message after trying to fix the photo library.

    What does this error message say?  Photos crash or exit gracefully?

    Where your iPhoto library that Library stored? In your pictures folder, or on an external drive?

    Try to copy the library of Photos directly without Time Machine. Connect the two Macs using your network and copy the old Mac to the new library, well as signed in on your new Mac.

    Then try to open this copy in Photos.
