My Macbook Pro is very slow

Uninstall CleanMyMac.

The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use so-called "cleaning" or "security" products. Using them to "clean" your Mac of files or operating system components it considers wasted space will result in system corruption that makes merely removing those products insufficient to restore a Mac to its previous state. The only way to do that is to restore your Mac's content from a backup created prior to using it or similarly categorized junk.

CleanMyMac's uninstallation instructions do not work. That is the reason I recommend erasing your Mac completely and rebuilding it from the ground up.

If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. If you do not have a backup, create one now, verify that it is a viable backup of your essential software and files, then erase your Mac completely, reinstall OS X and your essential software. When you reinstall your essential software, you must do so from their original sources, not from a backup that may have been corrupted.

Just got your new thread mail.

enough Ram, enough diskspace.

You probably have uninstalled CleanMyMac, but there is a (at least one) remnant:

Do this first: in Finder go to

MacintoshHD /Library then the LaunchDaemons folder, delete the following entry:

com.macpaw.....

If it is not there go to

MacintoshHD /System , then /Library, then the LaunchDaemons folder and delete it there.

Now make screen shots of the Applications folder and the Utilities folder and post them here.

I do not see as much in your list to give the same advice as John, but we will see...

It didn't make it. You have to use the little camera icon in the reply toolbar to upload those.

There is no indication of anything wrong sofar.

I propose to make a SMC reset, a PRAM reset:

After the resets (SMC you can do 2 or even 3 times: the firmware can be remarkable resistant):

Start Diskutility, click the name of the disk TOSHIBA MK5065GSXF, then do repair permissions. then do repair disk.

Restart after that and post the results.

I have the same problem on my 2012 Macbook Pro. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Installed with a Samsung 840 SSD and 8 GB Crucial RAM. I also tried my old 5400 rpm HHD - same problem.

Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question

I was travelling a lot, and did not continue in a lot of threads.

Has the issue been solved.?

If not: it is unlikely that the mavericks update is the issue.

In the meantime the OSX can be updated to 10.9.4.

1. maybe uninstalling Flip4Mac (prefence pane and Internet plugin) helps.

2. you can delete the two .....google.keystone.... entries in /Library/LaunchDaemons and /Library/LaunchAgents folders.

3. It may be a hardware issue. Is the hardware changed / upgraded since you bought the mac?
