That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.Ģ. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.

Working on a Macbook Pro Late 2011 15 in. I repaired my disk, but apparently it didn't have any problems. I then went on to use ccleaner to clean the computer and uninstall all startup apps. It wasn't slow anymore but obviously it was in no condition to work on. Still very slowįinally I decided to boot into safe mode. I tried, after many minutes of waiting to uninstall magican. I called up a friend who is good with computers. Spinning rainbow circles everywhere and everytime I clicked something. "Launchpad" was "Loading Apps" for around 10 minutes. It took around 1 minute to open a finder window.

Getting to the desktop took another 2 - 5 minutes. To select the password field took another half minute.Īt this point I knew something was very, very wrong. Here's the problem:Īfter booting, even getting to the password input screen must of take around half a minute.

In the morning, it wasn't done yet (must have stopped) so i finished it and then it restarted.

Anyways after I did a full scan of the system and let it run overnight. Because I was sort of paranoid about malware and stuff like that, I did a quick clean to free up space, then i enabled this option called live protection or something.

Yesterday, I was unistalling unused software such as istatsmenu (took too much space of the bar). Very happy, no problems everything working fine. Ok so basically I have had my mac for about 2 years now.
