Q: My MacBook suddenly started running slow

Hello! I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2010 and it suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a week already. I've restarted my MacBook many times and when I'm not using it I shut it down. I've tried many things to make it run faster and deleted 14k files that were mostly text documents, pictures, videos, etc. and deleted my whole iTunes library hoping it would work but nothing. I currently have 77.07 GB left but space has never been the problem since in the past I've had 10GB or to the point where I had no GB and it still ran perfectly. Two things I've noticed is that when it gets hot it starts running slow and also when I start watching videos on youtube or ones that are already in my MacBook. Last night I reset my SMC hoping it would work better and it only ran slow because of the heat but I see no change. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before taking it to the Apple Store and spending money on something I could've probably fixed myself.

 

Here's some information on my MacBook

 

MacBook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2010

Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 220M 256 MB

Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    All of your problems are covered elsewhere in this thread. If you are too lazy or don't have the time to read through it then start a new discussion item and somebody will certainly go over them again with you. It never pays to post your own issues to an old thread that very few of us are still monitoring.

    I agree completely with MadMacs0:

    you have been infected with Spigot, and use too much crapsoftware, and you have "killing" software, like CleanMyMac. I am surprosed that your mac will still run.

    Hi Lex!

     

    I've had the same problem as described in this thread almost since I got my MacBook in 2011 (it runs slow and freezes). I am not really computer literate and my knowledge of how to solve my mac's problems is very limited, but I have tried a few things over the years and even took it once to the Mac Genius bar in Covent Garden (London). I have also erased and reinstalled twice but although it seemed better at first, improvement in the long term never really happened and it is actually getting worse over the years. I have checked all the posts on this thread one by one and downloaded and run EtreCheck (I have the report) to try to find what could be causing the problem, but I am not really sure what to do (I am a bit confused with all the answers to be honest!).

     

    If I posted the report here, would you be able to help? Would it be better if I opened another discussion? Happy to follow your advice either way!

     

    Many thanks in advance!

    Edel:

    A coincidence that I find this post, normally these long threads ar not followed much.

    So I propose that you start a new thread in the Notebooks discussion, and post the link to that here.

    Start with the same explanation, and elaborate with answers on following questions:

    - Did Apple Genius test for hardware issues too?

    - Before this Macbook, were you a Windows user?

    - You started with Snow Leopard?

    And then put in the etrechack list (made after a day of use preferably).

    Lex

    This is no longer the place to be posting new requests. As we've patiently told the last seemingly  three hundred users, you need to start a new thread with a complete description of your problem and post a link to it here. I know something is slow, but have no idea what.

     

    Nothing you have installed jumps out as a major contributor, but seeing uTorrent, the fact that you haven't updated to OS X 10.9.5 yet and you have disabled GateKeeper in your Security preferences might indicate you have installed the latest iWorm Trojan/Backdoor.  Check Dr. Web announces new “iWorm” malware to find out.

     

    Then stay away from Torrent sites in general and pirated software in particular; Keep System Preferences->Security & Privacy->General tab is never set to "Anywhere" again; and run Software Update until it tells you there are no more updates.

    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.
