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?
