[hblackburn]

Hello~
I have a MacBook Pro:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) (Verified)
MacBook Pro - model: MacBookPro9,2

My computer has been running so slow while I surf the web and getting the spinning wheel a lot. Could someone look at my etrecheck and give me some feedback??

Thanks!

Your HDD is about 90% full, Time Machine is complaining that it is too small for local backups, that is possibly the source of some of the issue.

I would also disable your plugins in Safari to see if that alleviates the issue.

If still stuck then post a screenshot of the activity monitor CPU usage panel with it sorted so the highest cpu usage apps are at the top.

Thank you! I did this all and will see if it helps. I actually had to back up disks running, so i deleted the one I wasn't using.

On a spinning platter hard drive (which you have) a good rule of thumb is to always leave at least 20% free.The last 20% are further away from the platter's center and take longer to access/read. You have 10 times less than 20% free.

Offload some stuff to an external drive until you have about 100GB free and report back. If the behaviour doesn't change, it could be that your hard drive is on it's way out, they tend to get real slow before crapping out completely.

You have quite a few third party launch and startup items going there. Just as a test, try a boot into safe mode and see how things work in that mode. A safe mode boot will bypass all those startup and login items for testing purposes.

If you have not installed anything recently that triggered this, often times these beach balls and slowdowns coming out of nowhere signal a hard drive on its way to a dirt nap.

There is probability that the hard drive is on its way out. Same thing happened to mine.
