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...

There is no indication of anything wrong sofar.


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

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379


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 tried resets SMC 2 times and also a PRAM reset. Diskutility there is no repair permissions or check enabled when i selected the hard drive, but repair disk and check enabled. I still did that and no improvement(still see the spinning wheel and slow performance) after restarting the system. I googled and found out lot of people have problems when they updated their OS to mavericks, even my system started reacting weird after updating the ios. Do you have any idea whether maverick is the culprit, if yes do i have any option of going back to mountain lion or reinstall mavericks.

I dont feel like i bought this system brand new in Oct 2012.


Thanks

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?
