Fixed. I think.

I tried disc repair as tromboneaholic suggested which didn't work and was just about to try his other option and re-install the OS when I saw Sun baked's suggestions.

I deleted all login items which suddenly quickened things up a lot, then deleted quite a few old apps and one in particular I use all the time 'Pathfinder', which has been giving trouble recently and 'bang' things seem pretty much back to normal, I hope. Seems Pathfinder was the culprit.

Thanks for the help guys, your time was very much appreciated.

I was surprised I didn't run into these issues with the 2007 iMac user account I migrated to Mohave on the 2014 Mini.

Had 150+ font issues, a bunch of really old login items and extension, and 80+ 32-bit apps to hunt down and purge.

Fun part was trying to figure out how to deinstall some of the ancient apps/extension in the system preference pane since I hadn't used them in years.

At least now everything on it is updated recently and should have no issues going forward, though hunting down a app to take the place of some deleted abandonware might be an issue later. At worst it'll mean booting up the 2007 iMac again.

What have they done? I installed Mojave, OMG! My mac is screwed. I'm not exaggerating here.

Many apps no longer work or even start up. I get the beach ball with almost every click of the mouse. I here on my PC because my mini is hopelessly slow using the net either with chrome or safari. Safari which I don't use much anyway keeps crashing. DVD's don't play anymore on my superdrive. The cursor stops, crawls, and jitters all over the screen, it's that bad.

I don't use time machine so I cant roll back. My OS is on an SSD so it's usually faster than most. How do I get out of this?

I had the same thing happen and the Apple online support told me to restart holding down Shift, Option, Command, and R. This will go back to the previous OS install
