Q: Slow mac book 13" late '07
My wife's mac book is running pretty slow and safari was next to useless until I repaired permissions this morning. I ran Etrecheck and the results are below. I know I need to remove the parallels startup items but I can't find them.
Thanks for looking!
EtreCheck version: 2.6.6 (226)

Nothing jumps out at me except that you could use more memory. at least 4 GB of it. Parallels is only out of date if you a running Yosemite. The report states 10.7.5. In internet plug-ins you have flash player twice so you could delete one. Chrome doesn't use it. See if there is an update for parallels for your operating system. You repaired permissions, which you say helped. Go into recovery and use the disk utilities to check/ repair the hard drive. If you have the drive backed up you could use recovery to reinstall the operating system to see if that helps. You do not need to erase and normally this will not remove any files you installed. If your slow downs are mostly in safari, clean out history and cache files. Also check the extension. you can turn them off and see if it helps.
