So when I start my iMac with Catalina os I cannot get any apps to run. I just get the rainbow wheel or sometimes the light blue dark blue wheel. It takes minutes to open the finder or drop downs. I have ran a diagnostic and it tells me nothing is wrong? Please help me I have a lot of data that has not been backed up so at least I want to get the data before doing anything drastic…
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
Get an external drive and start a Time machine backup immediately. I would guess a hard drive problem.
Are you running any cleaning apps or third party anti virus?
To help us find the cause, download and run etrecheck from etrecheck.com.

+1 on EtreCheck and getting a Time Machine backup going.
An excellent choice for a backup drive is a SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE - Western Digital.

It took a really long time but I moved all the data to an external hd and completed wipe my hd and it’s working properly now. Thanks
