Hello,
I have a mid 2010 IMac with a 3.2 i3 and 12gb ram running El Capitan. This computer is used everyday and has always ran without issue. However, about a week ago I started having to force quit applications due to the beachball. They will work for a little while then freeze. When I force quite I see that the programs are “not responding” There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to which programs are the issue as it is sporadic and happening to many I use. So far I’ve had to force quit all programs in the Office suite, Safari, mail, calendar, firefox, chrome, etc. Seems like everything I use I eventually have to force quite. Sometimes I can restart the program right away, other times I have to restart the computer to regain functionality. This has never happened before.
I have tried running disk utility (many times) I ran malwarebytes, uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled it, deleted old applications I no longer use, deleted all browsing history and cache & cookies and nothing seems to work. Issue remains. I was thinking about restoring my computer from my time machine back up but am thinking that the issue would just be reinstalled with back up.
Any help suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
