Macbook Pro running slow getting the rainbow wheel

ibleedblankngold,

do you have the latest software for your Jawbone installed?

As an experiment, have you tried uninstalling Kies to see if that has an effect? At least one blogger has noted that Kies can interfere with other software.

ibleedblackngold,

I don’t know — how many updates for Lion has Apple released in the last two months? (I’ve never run Lion, so I can’t speak from personal experience.) My wife has an older model MacBook Pro than yours with Mountain Lion installed, and she has no problems with audio skipping, so I’m going on the presumption that some third-party app is responsible for your current audio situation.

ibleedblackngold,

now that you’ve uninstalled Kies, I’ve noticed that ClamXav is being loaded — it wasn’t being loaded before. Try uninstalling that next. If that makes no difference, try uninstalling Boom and the Jawbone app, one at a time, to see if either of those could be playing a rôle. Do you know what the “fuspredownloader” software does?

ibleedblackngold,

the lack of an effective Kies uninstaller is due to the choices of the Kies developer. Mac apps are supposed to be uninstallable by dragging the app to the Trash, then Emptying Trash. If an app makes system-level changes, then it should be provided with a complete uninstaller, to clean up all changes which it has made — or at minimum, documentation should be provided on how to do a manual uninstallation by using Terminal commands.

Unfortunately, the best way to uninstall a stubbornly clinging app is to research into how others have resolved the same situation, and to make notes if you have to blaze a trail yourself to do such an uninstallation (and ideally post those notes publicly, so that others won’t have to go through the same process). There are a number of generic uninstaller apps out there, but from what I’ve read about them, they do more harm than good, so I’d advise staying clear of them.

That's just the daily schedule definitions update. Runs for less than a minute with no noticable impact on CPU, so uninstalling won't help.

I thought I had gotten rid of ClamXav. It's not listed in my applications anymore.

See ClamXav FAQ#23.

Minor thing. You have two different versions of the "Add To Amazon Wish List" Safari Extensions. In fact, you have a lot of extensions compared to most users, so if your browser is what's slow, make sure you need them all and are keeping them automatically updated.

I need your help. My Macbook is really running slow. This is the EtreCheck Report
