Unsigned files - There is unsigned software installed. Heavy RAM usage - This machine is using a large amount of RAM.Ĭlean up - There are orphan files that could be removed. Time Machine auto backup disabled - Time Machine auto backups are disabled. These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems. Poor performance - EtreCheck report took over 10 minutes to run. This computer is at risk of malware infection. System Integrity Protection disabled - System Integrity Protection is disabled. I would really appreciate your help with solving the problem - I didn't expect that a cutting edge, 3 year old computer would work this way.Īnything that appears on this list needs immediate attention. removing the file from IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext - finally haven't done that since there is no file reflecting my model identifier. reboot in safe mode - it's almost impossible to check anything in the safe mode because the computer is working even slowlier than in the normal mode, fan is working very on high revs, very loud, I've done some research on the topic and tried several ways to solve the problem, but none of them worked.

I'm struggling with kernel_task process consuming 599%, making my Macbook Pro impossible to use. So when I start reading about moving system files around & messing with my hardware, my brain shuts down, even if I'm somewhat familiar with the terms used. Even though I've been a Mac user since the very first version, I'm not as geeky as perhaps I should be. I had been thinking before that happened I should check into adding RAM, as you mentioned. The other day my whole machine just shut down & scared me to death as that's never happened, despite having a few app crashes & freezes lately. Memory is outrageous-Safari & kernel task being the real problem. Using Activity Monitor I periodically check my CPU usage & it's high. I have always worked a lot with graphics & photography. Fairly recently the old horse began slowing down more, especially when I use Safari or watch short YouTube videos (which I just started doing because our internet bandwidth has been so restricted). I was plodding along, albeit somewhat slowly but acceptable. What model & system number do you have? I am still using an old Macbook Pro (2010 I think) upgraded to 10.9.5-that's as far as I've cared to go without boosting hardware or other.
