very slow iMac 7.1 operating on El Capitan

• very slow iMac

  Hello

  My iMac is slower and slower. From the beginning, he was already working in the 'return' for several minutes before I can even move the mouse. But also to open an application or a program, it takes forever. I downloaded etrecheck that cracks in the community have some information to start. I don't really understand what all these codes are for. I am a simple user. I bought a Mac because I was told that it's very user-friendly. But sometimes I have trouble with the easier tasks (manage my photos folders or move my iTunes music to a Samsung phone...).

  Can someone help me to have my iMac as fast as it was at the beginning? Thank you.

  You have 3 major problems. First is you have com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3 installed, which is considered to be malware and should be uninstalled. Contact the developer for instructiosn on how to uninstall. OS X does NOT have any cleaning, anti-virus or third party maintenance utilities! OS X is extremely elegant and safe and will work well for years if kept up-to-date and another one left.

  Problem # 2 is that you have com.intego.virusbarrierplus installed, refer to my first paragraph!

  The second major problem is that your system is starved of RAM. While 4 GB RAM had a lot of RAM when Snow Leopard 10.6.x was installed on your computer, it is considered a bare minimum with El Capitan. I would first of all be reacting to problems #1 and 2 and then see how the machine works. If performance does improve not then consider the upgrade of RAM.

• 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.

• Samsung SSD500 on very slow iMac

  10.11.4 iMac

  I have the last 5K 27 "iMac with a Fusion drive. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test shows > 300 MB/sec in writing and > 800 MB / sec in reading.

  I also have a Samsung SSD EVO 850 500 GB which is connected to the iMac via USB. Blackmagic shows that around 40 MB read/write.

  I have the impression that USB 3.0 supports the higher transfer rate. So what could be the reason for the slow speed?

  Thank you.

  a fusion drive is just a combination small ssd as a hidden drive and a standard hard drive at low rpm.

  on the USB connection for the external USB samung, USB slowing the SSD because its old data transfer protocol, is the reason why what USB 3.1 is being such a jerk.  It has the ability to not get stuck on the transfer of files as a standard usb port.  Now if the SSD was hooked by the thunderbolt port you would see an amount of data more fast transfer rates.

• Mac pro running very very slow

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Pro 4 GB of RAM, after 2016-004 mac update, security update is very very slow.

  Please advise,

  Thanking you,

• 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?

• 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.

• 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

  Please download and run a report of EtreCheck and then copy and paste the results into your answer.

  https://etrecheck.com

  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 on

  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.

• Offers day and slow downloads WiFi (very slow).  Is there a way that I can download some updates and new programs using my macbook pro (to a public site in the city) and transfer it on my iMac which is too heavy to cart autour?

  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 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 update 4 LR LR 6, so I find lightroom does not not like before.  He becomes very slow to open, when I go to 'Library' to 'Develop' or import of images the Apple beach ball will roll for a few minutes.  My iMac uses OS X worm

  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.
