• Satellite L750 - receive messages from ordinary this HARD drive is about to fail

  I have a laptop of PSK2YA - 04K 010 L750 Satellite.
  I get regular messages that my hard drive is about to fail.
  I backed up all my important stuff.
  I did not the recovery discs until I started getting these messages.
  I've been able to create a windows repair disc & also recorded an image of the hard drive on an external hard drive with no problem.

  I bought and installed a Western Digital 750Go WD7500BPKT hard drive replacement.
  I tried to do a system restore using the image I created on my external hard drive
  "I get the following message appears a few seconds after the start of the reimage" the operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination. (0x8078012D)

  I reassembled the original hard drive & make a set 4 DVD discs using the Toshiba Recovery shortcut.
  I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.
  Don't really know where to go now & am hoping to get a few ideas from people in the know or have been here before.

  HHHHeelp please

  How did you create this image?

  > I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.

  It looks like the 2nd disc can be read correctly or the 2nd disc was not created correctly.

  I first recommend you to clean the lens of the laser of the reader of CD/DVD alcohol or cotton tip.
  Then try to run the installation by using the recovery disk once more.
  In case this isn't possible, your recovery disk is defective.

  If the recovery disk that is faulty, you have an option to order here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  The 2nd option would be clean Microsoft Windows disk usage.
  Missing drivers may be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

• Slow performance of a 2011 iMac troubleshooting

  Hello

  The performance of my iMac seems to slow down.

  How would I go about troubleshooting the problem?

  I'm running 10.11.5 with 16 GB of RAM installed.

  I use Basic applications.

  In my view, that the system is slow to react to the switching of already open applications, especially from Safari, mail, but not limited to these two.

  I'm not a gamer nor do I stream videos.

  Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

• terribly slow to boot from Yosemite iMac

  Hello

  I bought my iMac with Lion installed and slowly put each time a new version of the os x came out.

  It went well until what I upgraded to Yosemite. After this upgrade my system boot performance dropped to downright unacceptable.

  I tried forums, tips from the Apple Store, etc. and hoped that with El Capitan, things would eventually get better but no, on the contrary.

  When the activity of the system of monitoring during the startup I see that there is an abnormal amount of the activity of the hard drive for about 10 minutes directly after login, rendering virtually unusable system. I am, because as much as 65,000 read operations, which I guess is a lot. After the 10 minutes of paralysis, the system works normally. Performance degrades more what it seems (before it was only 5 minutes), so I really want to find a solution to this problem, and preferably one who understood the system wiping and starting up again.

  Any advice is welcome.

  First of all, make sure that you have a full backup and update your storage to the external storage device, as one of the causes of this behavior is a failing drive.

  Download Etrecheck and run the tool, and then post the results here.

  If there are repetitive blocks of visible errors in Console.app - Applications > utilities > Console.app - after a series of each block that is repeated here.   Please do not post more than a hundred lines or so altogether, please don't post duplicate blocks of the same errors and check anything post you here for sensitive or confidential information.  (There will be lots of cryptic and disturbing aspect messages found normally in the newspapers, and lots of it is quite expected and typical.)  It's the repetitive blocks that are usually of interest with problems such as you're a statement here).

• Need help troubleshooting transformation slow speed on my new iMac

  New iMac, purchased in August 2015, worked well until this week. Now, everything happens very slowly. Color wheel, slow, typing speed, applications crashing, etc.

  It's an iMac with 1.4 GHZ Intel Core i5 and 8 GB of memory. From this moment, I have 433.16 free BG to 498.93.

  I just upgraded to 10.11.1, but the speed slowed down before the upgrade.

  I have a suspicion of naivety that recent web video game adventures of my son may have something to do with the slow down. He's young, and he may have clicked on somehing involuntarily. Is there a way to eliminate unintentional downloads? Other suggestions?

  Thank you!

  It is likely that you are right, but you can download Entrecheck http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck to make sure.

• El capitan extremely slow on end of 2013 iMac, especially at the start (5 minutes)

  Hello

  Recently, I went from an iMac end 2006 (installed 10.7.5) to a new end 2013 iMac (with el capitan) using the migration wizard.

  My new iMac literally crawls at the start: before being "usable", it takes all five minutes to present the elements of office and start (I only dropbox, 1Password, Alfred littlesnitch enabled and I cleaned all the startup and user logon items old and systemic); After this the iMac works very well, even if it's not lightning fast I must say (looks like a little lag is present for each new task: opening applications, files and so on).

  As soon as the iMac starts a time machine backup is started automatically.

  I used etrecheck and nothing significant has shown and also one of the @linc scripts used to test the system (unfortunately, I'm not really able to fully understand the results, but perhaps that something is 'locked'...).

  Console is spammed with messages, especially at startup but projector not only in regard to, mds, xpc...

  I will post any other relevant information as requested, if anyone is willing to help.

  Thanks in advance

  Ciao

  Without posting actual results Etrecheck and/or Linc-script, nobody will be able to guess what is happening.

• Slow, slow then inadmissible Macbook Pro

  My macbook pro starts to slow down and then pinwheel begins to turn (it comes out and then disappears). If I have the music it starts to skip and when I try force quit programs it takes a long time for the upcoming dialog box upwards and still more to close the programs. I don't do any type of intensive work on the computer, a few pages, keynote, numbers, listening to music (iTunes and spotify), email... I used the utility to verify and repair disk, disks, and permissions and most of the time there is nothing wrong. I don't really know what to do to further diagnose the problem and then fix it. I don't have any apple store anywhere nearby, and I don't have a ton of money to pay someone or the other. Help me please apple community!

  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.

• Thunderbird is boring (suddenly) slow and sometimes get error message about a javascript that stopped working.

  The error msg appears who says that a script has stopped working. Also means Chrome and Macafee have something to do with the accident. I removed McaFee, empty the cache, unsinstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird - suggestions from another thread. But nothing has solved my problem.

  Uninstall is often followed by a re install. Especially if it has not fixed the problem.

• iMac early 2008 fails to boot completely

  Hi all -

  I have an early 2008 iMac 3.06 GHz 24 "model that starts more completely. The system gets to the Apple screen and the progress bar comes in at halfway and there it is. I had replaced the original HARD with a SDD drive and had not had any problems so far. The system has 6 GB of RAM.

  I searched around here and I've tried all of the following conditions:

  -Reset the SMC

  -Reset NVRAM

  -AHT Ran, fast mode and the full analysis - no problems found. After that, the system does boot to the desktop, but after I stop, I was unable to get another successful reboot.

  -Swapped the SDS for the original HARD drive (which was in good working order when removed) and the system stopped booting in the same place on the progress bar

  -Replacement battery PRAM

  -Ran new AHT.

  Now, I remember the computer to reboot once before what is going on started and seeing that the screen was a little fuzzy. It's the me first to suspect the video card - but don't would not AHT reported that? I don't know if the problem I have is a card or a video card. This computer has been completely reliable since I bought it new in 2008 and I was very happy with it. I want to keep around for a little longer if possible.

  Is there something I'm missing here? I have no problem opening the iMac and to make the appropriate surgery according to the needs, but I want to be sure I'm correct operation.

  Thank you!

  I saw the previous posts on this and have tried to follow all the advice, but nothing helped.  I am running XP and you have two hard drives, NTFS and both have plenty of space.  My destination is an external hard drive, FAT32, with plenty of room.  I get the ERROR message: failed to create a snapshot of a volume of the source. Ppossible causes include not seen all NTFS volumes on Windows XP or Windows 2003 source systems with no is not enough of disk space.

  I installed the converter as an administrator, I rebooted several times, I ran / f checkdsk on both hard drives and external drives, I have disabled all the services that I am uncomfortable, turn off, but just, I get this message.  I have attached the log file.

  Thanks for any help.

  How is the conversion?
