My iMac 2T running Mojave is REALLY slow ==
I am having trouble with my iMac, running Mojave, and can’t move off Mojave just yet but need help in cleaning it up. This started after I partitioned the hard drive to run Monterey on the new part [APFS] but I’ve taken that part off and now have 800+GB of space. I have 48G of memory.
I did think I had cleaned off the Monterey APFS volume but when I restart the iMac now there is the following message: "Incompatible Disk=This disk uses Features that are not supported on this version of MacOS". So that may be part off the issue but not sure how to clean it off of all the left overs of Monterey.
The problems - slow responsiveness, slow opening hard drive, non opening drive, tried to create a test user and couldn’t and did a safe boot which took close to 8-10 min.
After Safe Boot nothing worked well = I couldn’t open Force Quit, Finder kept freezing, beachball would spin and then just stop - couldn’t open the application folder even to run EtreCheckPro = but finally was able to and it’s running now and I’ll upload it.
