Macbook Pro noticeably runs slower when charging
So my Macbook has always been kind of on and off with games. It hit me the other day that when I took the charger out EVERYTHING runs much much faster, the general processing speed feels good and games can run with barely any FPS drops or anything. It's a 15" Late 2012 MBP with Intel i7, 4 GB RAM and AMD HD Radeon 6750M. Any reason why this could be? I can't believe I hadn't realised this sooner but that is definitely a system fault. I plug the charger in and it slows down massively. Take it out and it speeds up so much. My only thinking is that the actual heat caused from charging makes the system slower that's just bad design.

Macbook Pro 2011 - running slow after installing Yosemite
Can anyone help me - my late 2011 Macbook Pro is running very slow since installing Yosemite. Also my Microsoft Office for Excel is not allowing me to type into cells - I can copy and paste but not add new text.
I have run the Etre diagnostic app (as suggested on another thread) and these are the results I get. Can anyone help - or do I have to uninstall Yosemite and how would I do this?

Problem description:
my computer has been running ridiculously slowly to the point I am wondering if I am supposed to be upgrading to a different computer? Applications, documents, everything takes forever to open. Also Microsoft Word crashes pretty often. . . Then I ran the EtreCheck and am now fully freaking out from the multiple red lines reading FAILED. I am not at all computer savvy . . . I saw on another thread that I should uninstall Mackeeper? I have attached my EtreCheck info below for my system. But honestly, is this something I a very motivated novice can tackle or should I be taking the device in some where to get repaired? Is the latter is the case, where do people recommend? Geeksquad at BestBuy or the Apple store? I am at a total loss and my computer is my livelihood . . .
Thanks in advance for the support and direction!

This is the one I would recommend. It is relatively inexpensive and supports Firewire 800. Plus, it is swappable so once you remove your existing hard drive, you can just plug your old hard drive in there to restore your files. When you buy a new computer at some point, it will support USB 3.0. Should you need to buy another hard drive for additional backups or archives, you can just plug it in. I have an external drive very similar to this and it is very useful. Your machine does not support USB 3.0, so you would be on USB 2.0. Your machine does support Thunderbolt, but external Thunderbolt drives are much more expensive. For a backup drive, that isn't critical.
Since you are doing a major swap out of components, make sure to turn Time Machine off on your current system before you start. Do one last backup, then turn Time Machine off. You want to keep your existing backups in pristine condition until things settle down. Once you have restored onto your new hard drive and everything looks good, you can turn Time Machine back on and point it at your new hard drive.
Post back if you have any problems. -
Macbook pro (2011) running slow on Word?
When ever I run Microsoft Word on my macbook pro, esp. publishing layout view, it runs super slow. When I add a picture to the doc, it spins its wheels. When I want to print, it spins its wheels. Please help, thank you.
I suggest you post your question on Microsofts own forums for their Mac products as it's their software you're having issues with:

Macbook Pro 2011 running slow - mountain lion
Hi,
Since updating to mountain lion my mbp is running very slow,
Have repaired disk permissions and ran clean my mac but no improvements.
The hard disk is less than half full and no login items up on start up.
What more can I do?So it's the 13" (early 2011), MC700LL/A (2.3 GHz)? You can install up to 16GB of RAM in that machine, although Apple only 'officially' endorses 8GB. I run 16GB and find that I actually use up to 13+GB at one time - but I'm able to run many memory-hungry apps concurrently with no swaps, etc.
If I were you, I'd install at least 8GB - take a look at the Crucial site and click the System Scanner. You'll be offered the recommended upgrades.
As to a clean installation of the OS - I wouldn't really worry about that at this time. It doesn't sound as if you've an OS/software problem... there's no telling why your friend's MBP (the same as yours?) seems faster.
Good luck,
Clinton -

2010 Macbook pro is running slow in Mavericks. Do I need more than 4gb ram?
My late 2010 13" 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro is running slow since upgrading to Mavericks. I currently only have 4gb of ram. When I boot up It takes quite awhile (nearly 5 minutes or more) before the system is usable. Or it takes almost as long to switch to another user. Once I let it sit, it runs fine. I'm mostly using Safari and possibly MS Word at any given time. I looked at the Activity monitor and I believe I'm using aboiut 3.6 - 3.9gb of physical memory and over 4gb of virtual memory. Swap is using 0 at all times.
Do I need more RAM? Wipe my drive and do a fresh install? I'm reluctant to do the latter, because I don't want to have to reinstall all of my apps (even witha TM backup).
Thanks allThanks Linc for any help-
Hope I didn't paste too much. Uninstalling CleanMyMac has already helped some. Here goes:

Sluggish Finder - Bunch of icons on your desktop? An overcrowded desktop slows down your Mac. Get rid of needless Finder calculations - Open a window in Finder/View/Show View Options: ensure "Calculate All Sizes" option is unchecked.
Internet related - It's likely that your broadband connection is the bottleneck. You can check your speed on http://www.speedtest.net to see how fast your connection is. If your web browser specifically performs slowly, quit and relaunch it. If browser remains sluggish, empty its cache. Safari/Empty Cache Firefox/Preferences - select the Network tab of the Advanced preferences and click the "Clear Now" button in the "Offline Storage" area.
Application related - Launch "Activity Monitor" - Applications/Utilities - click the CPU heading and see what float to the top. If an application takes up a large chunk of CPU and won't let it go, it could be dragging down your Mac's performance. Quit it by clicking the Quit Process button at the top of the Activity Monitor window.

MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging
My 15" i5 MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging; a reboot of the machine solves the problem temporarily, but it always recurs. When I close the lid and listen carefully, I can hear hard drive activity; the drive sounds like it keeps spinning up every 10 seconds or so.
This is not an issue when trying to sleep when running on the battery only. Any advice?I don't have launch2net installed.
I'm not sure how this will help, but here's the last 5 lines from Console:

What are some things I can do when my MacBook Pro starts running slow and freezing up? For example, windows are slow to open, and that pinwheel thing keeps spinning. Clean up tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.tamyc,
You can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller;
You can try booting into Safe mode, to see whether it runs just as slowly (and freezes up) then;
You can try disabling your antivirus software, to see if that makes a difference;
You can download, install, and run EtreCheck, and include in your reply the output from an EtreCheck run, which might help identify software which should be uninstalled or updated. -
MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding..
MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding after every 30 seconds. I have tested by hardware test nothing wrong with hardware. I am worried Because I am totally stuck with my macbook pro Help me Please !!! I have tested by creating guest account and also new account as administrator. same thing happened. apps running. I opened activity monitor and watched carefully when any app stucked, In activity monitor there is in front of ap name following text appeared : (Not Responding) in red color. 129GB free memory, 4 GB RAM Core i3 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
Instant help needed..
Thanks in ADVANCE !!!First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?
Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."
