race of retina iMac 5 k very slow!
I bought this iMac a year - 1/2 years ago. The first months worked well. But since then, it is incredibly slow! It takes forever for anything either load, the beachball showing constantly and is even when you type. My internet connection is fine, so is not. I called Apple support last year and the diagnostic test came back as ADPOOO (no problem) and Apple support person told me to reboot and press a few keys shortcut (don't remember now) and it seemed to solve the problem... If only temporarily! The question came back quickly and I got frustrated and ended up not using my computer much and just use my ipad and iphone instead. Now I need to use my computer and the problem is obviously still there. I could call the Support, but this time that it will cost $40, so I'll do this as a last resort if I can't find a solution here. I have attached the report of EtreCheck below. If someone could help me I would be very grateful!

Correctly, uninstall the security software.
If you do not know how, do a web search to find how to properly uninstall the security software.
It is not necessary on Mac and OS X and use all the resources of your Mac.
If you really need the security of your computer, change the security setting inside the software for your Internet MODEM/router.
Good luck

Do a search on the web for how to properly uninstall McAffee software.
This is NOT necessary on Mac OS x.
Antivirus software is NOT necessary if you are running Mac runs only OS x Antivirus apps interfering with the normal functioning and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls (program extensions) into the main OS X system software impacting negatively / hinder overall performance of a Mac.
Here are some of my pieces of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, once again.
Anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best app anit-virus is you, the user, and your brain.Do not visit questionable sites or Web site, you do not know.
Do not use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting".
Do not install pirated software or software downloaded from unknown or questionable websites or sources of untrutsted.
Java is still a problem of vulnerability, if you don't need it, don't use it.
Use a browser filter and pop-up Blocker
Do not open not attached to the e-mail addresses that you do not recognize.
Install the security updates as soon as they are available
Find out more about what threats are common and active.
Indeed, use your own brain as the anti-virus filter.
Follow that advice and in MOST cases, you will be fine and don't risk your Mac to the potential of Trojans, malware or viruses.If you need some basic antivirus protection which will be invasive on the Mac OS X system, buy and install
ClamXAV
Good luck!

Difficulty to access the updates and downloads with very slow wifi ("country"). Is it possible that I can download some updates and new programs using my MaBbook Pro (retina) on a public site in the city and transfer them on my iMac which is too heavy to cart autour?
New programs, Yes.
Updates, depends on what you're updating.

very slow Powerbook fine, iMacs
My family uses 2 iMacs (1 2013, 1 earlier) and an Apple Powerbook at home. 2 iMac is incredibly slow, but the speed of the Powerbook is fine. IMacs both have a lot of unused storage and memory and I completely restored two iMacs and deleted unnecessary files, but they are very slow. I have everything back up on Dropbox and wonder now if the slowness is something to do with the combination of the signal at high speed and by using several connections of Dropbox in the House. We have a Virgin Media Hub Super 2ac with advertised broadband router of up to 150 Mbps. I made a speed control using www.speedtest.com and the download speed is 105.81 Mbps and download speed is 9.70 Mbps. Any ideas anyone?
You can view a report of etrecheck for later analysis
www.etrecheck.com
but I would like to disable and remove dropbox to test the system and if they improve the problem there.

my 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow
My 27 Imac late 2009 became very slow - I think especially after I've upgraded to El Capitan. Otherwise, everything in the computer works perfectly and I m using only 200 I have the 1 TB. Onyx and other tests can't find anything wrong. I mainly use my computer for word documents and to manage his photos about 30 000. The internal memory is 2 x 2 GB. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to speed it up? Thank you.
I wish I had an answer, but all I can do is rather echo to your problem. I have a 19 mid-2007 "iMac, contributed to the maximum with the RAM, 1 t disc hard less that half full, who did the same thing - he has worked with El Capitan until I updated to the latest version. Once that has happened the machine became so slow as to be unusable. It would take ten or twelve minutes to record a mouse click. When I restarted the machine, it took 32 HOURS to start (Fortunately it isn't my main Mac production).
Last week, I tried all the remedies of common sense - by removing unused software, keeping an eye on the activity monitor (there is nothing fancy here), etc. Finally, I did all the stuff start, PRAM, run utilities disk (no noted problem) and even tried to reinstall El Capitan to a bootable USB I did with my first Mac, the reinstall, but seemed not 'take' somehow - he wanted to repeat the installation procedure again and again.
I use the little Mac for Internet, e-mail and (as Karlis2) deal with some of the oldest pictures in my files - I'm sure that I have pictures on Time Machine, so I'm not too worried about it, but this was the first Mac way back in the day, I bought with my money and I'm a little sentimental on and would like to resurrect if possible... I wonder if there is a way to restore the operating system to an earlier version and it would make a difference?

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.
OS X Yosemite
10.10.5 version
iMac (27 inch, mid 2011)
Processor Intel Core i5 at 2.7 GHz
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory
AMD Radeon HD 6770 M 512 MB graphics card
I'm free to Go 602,21 Go 999,35. Is not as if he reaches its peak to storage, and it's not as if it was a bad computer. Checked for anti-virus, so nothing has jumped to the top. Love insight as to why this iMac has become a potato.
Thank you
scripttion
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.

I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?
No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

1. Uninstall sophos av-ware in accordance with the instructions of developers.
It robs your system of valuable resources and not necessary with OS X
2 remove any UN-nessessary launch, the user login items and Internet Plugins user.
line flow and execution less stuff at the same time
3. upgrade your RAM.
a. for the Apple Installation Instructions

Bluetooth SPP very slow on the macbook 13 retina early 2015
I use the Bluetooth SPP profile much download code the arduino-based robots in my classes. This used to work fine on a Macbook (13-inch late 2011) unibody + Yosemite, but since I have upgraded to a Macbook 13 beginning 2015 retina, transfers are > 20 x slower with Bluetooth Explorer showing many broadcasts, although the RSSI is very high, and both devices are close together.
I have already filed a bug report to bugreport.apple.com (15 days ago), still no response whatsoever.
It happens to someone else? That is to say is - this just my computer that is faulty? It would also be useful if the computer even with an older version of OS X (Yosemite) working for someone else.
This is a screenshot of a transmission with the internal Bluetooth adapter to 115200 bps. Transfer rate should be, well... aound 11520 bytes/s. I get 550 B/s instead, a LOT of broadcasts:
And an another screenshot using an external USB bluetooth adapter (noname brand) (~ 12 Kbps good speed and 0% retrasmissions).
TL; DR: Flow slow Bluetooth SPP has been fixed in 10.11.4.
Answer...
I reported this through http://bugreport.apple.com/ jan-9, then the mar - 21, I was warned that the next version should fix. The same day, I upgraded to 10.11.4 and it is indeed fixed. I get normal speeds (12 KB/s for a 115,2 Kbps link), see screenshot.
After a few months, I thought that this would never get the attention of Apple. Then... Thank you very much!!!

Very slow performance on iMac, please help
I installed VMware Fusion on my iMac and my normal iMac works perfectly. However, the VMware runs MUCH MORE slow. Here are the specs on my computer:
2.7 GHz i5
8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
I thought it might be a ram problem, even if on the side of the virtual machine from things I have only a single internet window open, and is to show that I'm allocate 2 GB of ram.
What you think may cause these slow speeds and what can I do about it?
Thank you!
Hello
As you mention that you have an imac, please take a look at this answer of DariusD here:
Yosemite and Fusion 7 - very very slow
Note that not all iMacs have this problem.
You can check if you have the problem by checking if your computer has the storm of interruption as described here by HPReg :

Just updated LR 4-6, so I find lightroom does not not like before. LR 6 is very slow at the start, whenever I pass 'Library' to 'Develop' or import images, the Apple beach ball will roll for a few minutes first. My iMac uses OS X version 10.10.5 are all these compatibility issues? What should I do to make it work better the lightroom?

Bridge CC is VERY SLOW on my iMac
CC of Photoshop, Lightroom CC & CC bridge give me a question VERY SLOW on my iMac. I thought after I erased from my hard drive (now it is more than 70% free at 705 GB of free space) I'd move quickly for each task, but it's far too slow. I can't see the rotation range ball that I do my job (and family!). I have a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7; 16GB 1333MHzDDR3. with an ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB. Please help me understand what I can do to solve this problem.

very slow iMac, running el Capitan
My iMac has been gradually slow down over the months. I thought that the update to el Capitan would have helped, but it didn't - but I don't think he's done worse. Every thing I do on the Mac is slow. When I opened the window of the application of the sidebar, it takes several seconds to draw all icons. Opening of Firefox or Safari takes minutes and moving between tabs is almost impossible.
I repaired disk permissions, zap my PRAM, reset the SMC and booted in safe mode and Open firefox has a little faster but the opening request file has been slower. Perhaps. It was probably the same substantially.
I have an iMac running 10.11.4, with Intel core i5 2.7 GHz, 8GM memory and 470 GB free on the hard drive. Activity monitor shows that the activity monitor using most of the CPU (1.6%) with Firefox on the same.
I am really frustrated with this. I thought my computer was pretty new, but can I do? Thanks for any help.
Because it seems as popular to do something, I have downloaded and run Etrecheck. Pasted below results. Thanks to all those who can help you.
