MacBook Pro (10.8.4) suddenly very slow, hardware OK. Problem with System Launch Agents and Daemons?
I am desperately looking for help. My MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, 13 inch, i5, 500GB HD, 4 GB RAM)
It's annoyingly slow most of the times and the "beach ball" of death appears regardless of the program I use. It sometimes appears even if I am in Finder and try to open a folder. After many seconds, the ball disappears, and I can operate the software. Periodically it comes back. Quicktime, Chrome, Safari, all programs experience this problem.
I have already clean installed Mountain Lion and even formatted the hard drive. But the problem persists. All hard drive and memory check utilities pass tests, including Voltans Smart Utility and Rember. Disk Util also says hard drive is ok and no problem found. No Anti virus, MacKeeper, Flip4MAC or Easy find.
Activity Monitor does not show any process with abnormally high CPU usage while the beach ball is busy with its dance of death!
Following is the EtreCheck report. What are these System Launch Agents and Daemons?
I would truly appreciate anyone's help!
