My MacBook suddenly started running slow

Me too, I am in trouble about running too slow after using MatLab. Here is the report from EtreCheck:

Tell me what I have to do for clearing out of items in red

1. You don't have to and cannot clear items in red:

..Backups are very important, so I suppose you have backups , although not TimeMachine.

..The Flasplayer "can not be contacted" is because you have hacked Adobe software on your computer, the keygenerator you used has blocked Adobe access in your hosts file.

..The hosts file is (very) compromised, because you have hacked software on your computer.

.. The Adobe Switchboard LaunchDaemon "invalid?": yes it is invalid.

2. Matlab is Mavericks compatible. Maybe you have a non-official version? If so, uninstall it completely and restart, and see how the MBP behaves. No activation or a hacked activation may be the cause.

3. I also propose to make a list of non-official versions of software you have installed, and decide what to do about it: it is not just one application. The disadvantage of using such softwares is that you may have been infected, although normally that does not cause much troubles, but you never know.

And if you do not want to do that:

In Finder click the GO menu, click GoToFolder, type /private/etc/ and enter,

in that folder delete the following file Sysctl.conf

Uninstall the app with with you made the file (probably in an older OSX) if it is still there.

Then restart the Mac. Empty the Trash.

I seem to be having the same problem. Out of the blue, my macbook pro decided to run really slow...to the point where typing gets delayed. Help would be greatly appreciated

You may have disk problems:

In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems remove ALL entries with the minus sign underneath.

Then restart, and make backups backups and backups.

It may be already a lot faster.

In DiskUtility, do "repair disk' and see what it says. If it has no comments, Restart while holding the CMD+R keys, start DiskUtility in there and do the same again.

Mad is right (thx), remove Spigot.

I would like to be sure that there is no disk problem first, but if there is not:

In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems remove ALL entries with the minus sign underneath.

Then restart, and make backups backups and backups.

It may be already a lot faster.

You have software in there that is not on your mac, and (worse) you have doubles in there: enough to create havoc. I would advise you to have this LoginItems empty all the time.

Also I would uninstall Growl.

And Chrome: if you want a browser next to Safari: use Firefox or Opera: fast, safe. Do not run more than one browser at the same time.

And the Android software, I am pretty sure you do not need it and it is very probable not compatible with 10.10

Wow you guys are awesome (help is much appreciated especially since I have thesis reviews this week)!

I removed Spigot, Deleted everything from login, Uninstalled growl, backed up my Mac Partition

***the unknown software deals with a lot of my design and architecture work (third party plug-ins for programs etc etc.), but I do not know if they are yosemite compatible (probably not) and I did just install Yosemite a couple of days ago, which fits in with the timeline of when the lag started.

I ran disk utility to run repair...and I guess I can't copy and paste it. There were about 50+ lines that started with "group differs" "permissions differ" "users differ" followed by "repaired...."

Got no error though.

Next steps?

sidenote that might help the investigation: but a year ago, my mac partition just randomly failed with no warning (while my bootcamp PC partition stayed perfectly safe and unharmed). At that point I had figured it was due to software that had screwed with the config and hard drive startup script (assumption) and not the physical drive itself because then the PC side would have also failed. So I started clean at that point (not restoring from a backup), but it seems like I might hit the same problem again this time because I just jumped onto my PC side and had absolutely no problems at all.

I suspect the software is too unique to your work to be listed, but RoaringApps keeps a compatibility list that may help.

There are several types of drive failure. If the electronics or power supply fail, then yes, the entire drive would be dead. But the most common type of failure is when physical blocks on the hard drive platters become unusable (usually because of contact between the read head and the surface). The drive is smart enough to know when this happens and keeps a supply of spare blocks available to substitute for the bad one, but when it runs out of spares then the drive must be replaced ASAP. This type of failure usually starts in a single partition, so the rest of the drive remains usable. The errors we saw involve your boot drive, which is the same one you had problems with before. SMART Utility should be able to tell you what's going on.

OK, you are lucky that we still are here, this thread is already too long, but.... yes we know that you can not miss this Mac for a minute....

"I ran disk utility to run repair...and I guess I can't copy and paste it. There were about 50+ lines that started with "group differs" "permissions differ" "users differ" followed by "repaired...."

there is a misunderstanding: you repaired permissions, you should have done "repair disk".

You should not use the Bootcamp partition for the moment, it might influence in 10.10, I don't know.

After the excellent advice of Mad, I would like to propose to use DriveDx, instead of smart utility. It is much more explanatory and discovers more. Download the trial from http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx . That is enough for the time being. Run it and see what it says. If in doubt post the the result here.

I guess I have to take it in and get the hard drive replaced huh?

Yes, but I didn't see a Time Machine backup in your EtreCheck. You do have a solid, recent backup don't you? If not you will need to backup all your critical user files now!

My mac is running very slow. I frequently get a spinning wheel, so much so I can hardly get work don. Was wondering if someone is able to help also.

Problem description:

My MacBook Pro has recently been running extremely slow. It can take 10 minutes just to type a simple sentence. It's to the point now where I spend more time watching the spinning colors than I do actually working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will find a lot of answers here when you read carefully through all pages.

But : please start a new thread, this is much too long already, you will find more help in a new thread. You have an unusual set of software, you have incompatible (old) software, and you have a lot of leftovers of already uninstalled software.

(as an exemption, I helped curlyfoeva, because there was a hardware failure that was already directly visible).

Rartim727: same message for you as for morguanduo:

Start a new thread. You did a lot that has its results now in all issues that you have.

Possibly the worst crap software to kill your mac: CleanMyMac. You find a lot to read here in this forum.

You have unofficial keys generated for software, that may cause malware on your system.

Etc.
