EtreCheck: Disk Failure in one user account only

How can I edit this post so there is a scroll bar for the etrecheck log? :-/



My iMac all of a sudden got painfully slow (too slow to actually use, with every click there was the wheel and it took minutes to hours to go away again), besides that there was another problem: Every time the mac was in sleep mode, a few minutes later it did a restart. Every time i tried to shut down the mac, it did a restart after that. For a few weeks I tried everything I was able to find on the net until I finally did a clean install (I never had to do that before with any of my macs but I didn't know what to do anymore).

After the new install everything worked perfectly, for a day. The next day, the restarting started again. But at least the mac was going fast again.

A few weeks later the mac again got so slow I couldn't use it anymore (that's why I'm here now), I managed to create a second user account and download etrecheck, which took me 2 days, since everything was so painfully slow.

Interestingly on the new user account everything was working fine and fast, while my usual account was almost not managable.

I used EtreChek on the new user account and it didn't show any errors.

I then used it on my usual main account, and it showed me "Disk Failure" and almost 400 errors. There also were a few Adware problems, so I removed the adware and removed the program "Lyrical" and the things inside the folder "suggestions" (also things EtreCheck showed me).

After that, I did a SMC and PRAM reset, and all of a sudden everything was working fast again (So easy? I couldn't believe it, since I did all those things the first time and it didn't help).

So now I ran EtreChek again, and it still shows me "Disk Failure", although with only 2 errors, but still, this is not good 😟

I then switched accounts again and tried EtreCheck on the new user, and again no problems, no errors and no disk failure.

How can this be, that there is Disk Failure only in one user account? And how can I find out what to do about it?

I didn't manage to find something helpful on the net or in the search bar here, hopefully someone can help.


(I'm not a computer specialist at all, I can use Terminal etc with instructions but that's about it.)


This is EtreCheck when everything was slow and didn't work:

Feb 5, 2016 8:12 PM in response to onemoreappleuser

My iMac all of a sudden got painfully slow (too slow to actually use, with every click there was the wheel and it took minutes to hours to go away again)

If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
