iMac 27" late 2013 way too slow
My iMac started slowing down a couple of years ago until it is currently unusable. There is 451GB space left on the 1TB, and it has a 2X4GB DDR3 cards. I use icloud for everything. I do have more than 100K photos but since I use cloud photos I don't think it is what's keeping it slow. A couple of years ago I use external hard drives to back things up when we moved. I ran an Etrecheck and the major issues were Time Machine backup not found and Adobe flash player installed. I know this is not a unique problem but I couldn't find an straightforward solution through reading here. Can anyone help please? Etrecheck below
