Thanks

- Sometimes on shut-down it reboots because of 'an error'
- General applications like Pages, Keynote etc lag an awful lot, typing seems slow
- Really slow upon start-up, only 2 applications open, but some do in background like Adobe Creative Cloud (how can I remove these?)
- When trying to record one track on Garageband (haven't tested Logic yet due to working with MIDI for now) it claims that I am multi-track recording or something and that there isn't enough CPU (It's been a while and as such can't remember the exact message, will try to recreate)
- It just generally seems a lot slower than friends and works Mac's yet mine is newer and as such shouldn't be
I would prefer to fix myself, not only to improve my knowledge of Macs but with my work I can't afford to be without my Mac for a few days let alone a week or so if it needs repairing.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
