I could not find what's wrong, what supposed to stay on my mac and which are the culprit. pls help! 😟

Have you run any cleaning or optimizing apps either prior or after upgrading to Yosemite? How about anti virus softare, any installed?

What did ACLr8 report when you ran it? Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.

Here's the culprit:

[

loaded] com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2Helper.diskSpaceWatcher.plist Support

[loaded] com.macpaw.CleanMyMac2Helper.scheduledScan.plist Support

Uninstall cleanmymac2 according to the developer instructions: How To Uninstall CleanMyMac 2? Complete Removal of ....

Then to confirm that all of the files have been removed download and run Find Any File to search for any files with "the application's' name" and the "developer's name" in the file name. For example for CleanMyMac2 you'd do two searches:

1 - Name contains "cleanmymac2"

2 - Name contains "macpaw"

Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion.

FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.

It also looks like perhaps you just enabled FileVault 2, and it's currently encrypting your disk? This will definitely slow things down a LOT on a conventional (i.e. non-SSD hard drive). When that's done, things will speed up.

William is right about File Vault.

For the other file try to drag it directly from the FAF search results window to the Trash bin. You'll be asked to enter your Admin password. See if that will work.

No, you can't really stop it, because then it would have to decrypt the entire thing, which may take longer than finishing it off.

It's hard to say exactly. It only took me an hour or so to enable FileVault, but I've always used machines with SSDs and I've always done it early when there was like 50 GB or less of data on the drive.

You could open a terminal window and type (or just paste this):

diskutil cs list

And you should get some data on the progress. And maybe the Security system preference pane will tell you how far along things are?

Hey guys!
I am experiencing very similar problems...

My MacBook Air (mid 2013, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD,...) has become very slow compared to a few days ago on Mavericks!

Also:
+ The fan is running much more often now

+ MacBook gets very warm

+ Battery drain is extremely high

+ Animations and scrolling inside OS not fluent anymore

What I already tried:

+ new install

+ verify disk permissions

+ SMC-Reset

+ PRAM Reset (Cmd+P+R)

Here comes my report, I really hope anyone can help me with that.

I am really disappointed of Apple... What a let down!
