Anyone having trouble with computer running extremely slow with the color wheel continuously spinning.?

Updated with Yosemite and think that's when my problems started with my IMac being very slow. The color wheel keeps popping up and spinning not allowing me to move forward on typing or moving between websites etc. Extremely slow and never had this problem before Yosemite. Any real answers to this out there? I was on the phone with apple support for two and a half hours the other day and it's not made any difference in what the tech had me do to resolve this issue.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

My appointment got messed up when I set it up and when I showed up they had no record of it. So the just put me on the list and I waited about 45 minutes and they helped me out.

Also if you need an appointment the Apple Store app is much better for finding one https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/id375380948?mt=8

My hard drive had failed. They used the boot to network drive and ran a program to check the drive. It was very apparent what was wrong when they started the test: http://i.imgur.com/fRcitLl.jpg

I wish they gave those same tools to the public since it would have saved me hours of time trying to fix it myself and on the chat/phone with their support.
