Hi
I've read a couple of posts regarding "slow imacs", but I'm still not sure what to do. I have an iMac 21'5 inch late 2009. I use it for my home studio with an external sondcard "Presonus Firestudio Mobile". Lately the computor has started to lag when I use Logic 9, but also when I stream videos from YouTube, etc.
What should I do to address this problem?

You are welcome and thank you for the courtesy of awarding the "solved" for this thread. It is not required but it is certainly appreciated.
Don't be too discouraged, it is likely just a hard drive replacement. Not free, but it is not likely to break the bank either.
Hello i have bought an iMac in late 2014. it has turned very slow. not just internet (which is fast on all other pc's, phones, tablets).
but this newest device (iMac) is very slow. I did use quite some space of the 1Gb HDD. I bought another external hard drive which works very fast. And copied some files over to this drive (many video files).
The iMac is still slow. Could anyone help me?
I've run a test with EtreCheck and will post the result at the end of this email.
thanks.
