Mac OS X Mavericks - Slow!

Hey guys,

I updated to Mavericks a while ago and I have been experiencing hangs and slowdowns across the system.

The beachball is very common for relatively mundane tasks and things just take a lot longer to complete.

Using CleanMyMac will result in system corruption. Uninstalling it according to its documentation does not remove all its components, which is contrary to its documentation. Your remaining alternative is to erase your Mac completely and restore your essential software from a backup created prior to installing CleanMyMac.

Thanks for the reply. That's an awfully drastic measure - is there no way to manually remove the pieces of CleanMyMac still left over or reverse system corruption casued by it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

View ▹ Show Log List

from the menu bar.

Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

That depends on whether you used CleanMyMac to do anything, and which of its actions you performed with it.

Hi there!

Please try uninstalling CleanMyMac 2 manually. Simply trash the following items:

/Library/Application Support/CleanMyMac 2;

~/Library/Application Support/CleanMyMac 2;

~/Library/Application Support/CleanMyMac;

~/Library/Preferences/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.plist;

~/Library/Preferences/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2.plist

/Users/Shared/CleanMyMac 2;

/Users/Shared/CleanMyMac.

In order to completely uninstall CleanMyMac Classic - please send us an email to support@macpaw.com and we'll provide you with special fix which will completely remove it.
