Hello,
I am hoping one of you can help me. My mid 2009 MacBook Pro is extremely SLOW. I've read several of the posts regarding slow Macs but I'm hoping there is something I can do to fix it without having to upgrade it with new hardware because I do not have that skillset.
Anyway, I read in one of the posts suggesting EtreCheck so I did that and I will post my results below. I am guessing that 1.59 GB Page-outs is not a good thing but is there anything I can do to fix it that is not too complicated?
Anyway, thanks for your time and attention to my request--any advice/recommendations you can give me would be most appreciated. Here are my EtreCheck results:
