Hey all,
New to the forums, and like most other people that post here for their first time...I am having a problem.
**I have a MacBook pro running the latest OSX software**
So the problem is this,
I was extracting a .zip file when the zipping program froze,I tried force quitting,
right clicking the icon and quitting, and Apple+Q quitting. Nothing did it, but the Mac was running fine besides this frozen application, so I continued with what I needed to do(was just organizing and cleaning up some files) and finally decided to restart so the frozen zip app would go away. Well, when I tried to shutdown, it said it could not while the Zip app was running, so I held down the power button and turned the Mac back on. Everything seemed fine until I opened itunes and noticed that the music playback sounded slowed down and distorted, now I thought this was maybe localized to a single file, so I tried 10-15 different songs all with the same results. I then restarted again and not only noticed that this problem didn't go away..but that my entire system was running slow. Opening of apps, icons appearing in lists, etc.. I ran a 'permission check and repair' and also 'verify and repair', still the same thing.
Anyone every had this problem, and have any idea how to fix it? Also, I am not sure if this slowing down has anything to do with the failed unzipping, or that program freezing, or what have you, I am just laying the story as it happened. I also run "cleanmymac" on a regular basis. So this isn't a gradual change in speed over time, this is a very sudden and abrupt change.
Any help would be appreciated.
