I have a Mac desktop running OSX Yosemite and Photoshop CC. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 560GB free out of 2TGB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I have never run a cleanup program. The entire system is running so slow. It hangs for up to a minute or more on simple tasks such as opening a web page. It takes forever to open a photo in photoshop or to even get lightroom to load. It was slow about a month or two ago when the new updates for photoshop came out. Then it worked fine. I have tried just having my email program open and photoshop and or lightroom, no photos and it still runs slow. What should I try next? I have restarted it a few times.

I opened a few old files and did not have any problems. I also went back and opened the file I was working on the other day and it loaded fine. Before, it would hang in ACR or take a while to load in PS and then stall on the tools. This morning, it is working fine. I don't understand.

I have a Mac desktop running OS X Yosemite and Photoshop 2015. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 600GB free out of 2TGB. The last time I shut down was last night. I have never run a cleanup program. Photoshop did an update about a month ago.

Is there a tutorial about what to do when PS and bridge are slowing. I have an iMac, 8 GB of memory and over 600GB of hard drive space. I have gone into PS and adjusted the preferences and deleted some of the history. If I try to have LR, PS and bridge open, it slows dramatically. It worked fine the other day. I have closed LR but bridge still hangs and PS will randomly hang when I try to use a tool. Is there a cache or something I need to delete?
