Last year's 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display was a bit of an odd duck. Yes, it was the Retina Display-equipped 13-inch MacBook everyone had been waiting for, but it wasn't the powerhouse.

I make backups all the time now, but I was able to run a full defrag that took all night and my MBP started really running fast. Now I have the problem with having to free up memory all the time because it's running slow again. Now if I try to defrag I get an error message. PLEASE NOTE: Because the disk cannot be unmounted, you may see spurious error messages in the output from this test. This is normal, as the operating system and other programs are using this disk, so changes during the verification process could confuse fsck into thinking that there are errors when there are none. Starting fsck fsck exited with code -1 I have used the disk utility app and it shows all kinds of error's, mostly having to do with printer locations and a few others. I'm trying to fix this now.

Wouldn't it make more sense to find out why you're seeing the spinning wheel before trying to fix it. For instance CCLeaner: It remove caches. Caches make your Mac run faster. You only delete them if you have a cache problem. So do you have one? If not why are you removing these elements that speed up your Mac? But as Linc says, it's all a bit pointless if you don't have a back up.

You're using apps you don't understand to do things to your Mac that you don't understand. You're going to do damage and lose data. I suggest changing your HDD to SSD, this will deninately work - again as the other members said (run disk utility, verify disk periodically, open activity monitor and close all application that use higher (%CPU).
