Slow Macbook pro. Can anyone help please?

Hi Everyone.
This is my first time here, so please go easy on me.
I have a slow Macbook Pro. No idea why so I googled it and google suggested I get these details via Etresoft.
Can anyone suggest why this machine is so slow after seeing this?
Cheers
DJP

I am having difficulty getting my scanner (HP5590 Scanjet) working with my MacBook Pro, can anyone help please. It did work alright with my IBM notebook.

There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.
Ciao.

Iphone 5 ,I get error 3 on iTunes on my macbook pro can anyone help me please

Dear all
I need help please with my Iphone 5 when i try and connect to Itunes it goes 99% of the way then i get a massage error 3.

Your best option is to restore a backup library made before this happened.
Otherwise you you can try using a file recovery applicaiton like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will run in demo mode and show you what images it can recover before you have to purchase it. Other similar applicaiton can be found by going to MacUpdate.com and searching for "file recovery".
I guess I don't have to issue the standard warning of do not make any change to an iPhoto library from the Finder, do I.

My Internet (or maybe wifi) is not working on my MacBook Pro, can anyone help?

Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my Internet that started today. I have a MacBook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8, Safari is Version 5.1.10). I noticed my Internet was working normally in the morning, but after about 5-10 minutes the Internet stopped working.
-The wifi icon in the top right displayed as full, so that struck me as weird.
-The other laptops in my house are not having this issue, or the wifi on my phone, so I do think its something with my MacBook Pro.
-I used the Network Diagnostics to see if it helps.
-I noticed the 3 listed items on the left hand side (Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings) are in green. But, the last 3 items (ISP, Internet, Server) are in red.
-I clicked Start Over -> Airport -> click Continue -> Selected my Airport network from the list -> click Continue: then all 6 items on the left hand side turn green.
-My Internet will work then for about 5-10 minutes before it turns off again, and then if I check my Network Diagnostics it will have the same first 3 items in green, the last 3 items in red.
-If I repeat the process as listed above, all will go green again. But, the internet will work again for about 5-10 minutes before turning off.
-This process keeps on repeating.
-Note: I got a popup to upgrade to OS Mavericks the other day, but I didn’t upgrade yet.
-Note: I dont know too much about computers and I am not that technically savy.
-Does anyone know what could be going on?

I can't install anything on MacBook Pro - can anyone help?

Dear All,
I can't install anything on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8). For example, I'll download an update, which in turn opens an installer window. I select the destination for the installation. So far so good. But when I click on 'install', nothing... Absolutely nothing happens.
I've been into disk utility to fix the permissions - there seemed to be quite a lot to fix. Then I repaired them. But running another check on disk permissions throws up the same errors, even though the first time round they were apparently fixed.
I've had a look in some of the the forums; one option seems to be to reboot from the installation DVD. Unfortunately, as I'm out of the country at the moment, the disk, along with most of my worldly possessions, is in storage hundreds of miles away and completely inaccessible.
Can anybody help a) with working out what the problem might be and b) with suggestions as to what on earth I can do to fix it?
Thanks so much to you all for your help,
h

Very poorly MacBook Pro, Can you help please?

I have recently ungrade my Macbook pro to OS Lion (about 3 weeks ago) it has been running with no problems. Two days ago it started running very slow, slow to start up (up to 14 mins!) and slow to load app and web pages. I checked CPU useage and mdworker was using lots of power. On the advice I found somewhere on here I made another user and deleted the previous one and all seemed to be ok for a few hours. However the MacBook started to slow up again, although the CPU seemed to be ok this time. I made a USB Lion recovery disc as per the apple support and verified the disc (and repaired it too just in case) all was ok and it reported no problems... Macbook still very poorly however so I thought maybe reinstalling OS Lion and starting again might solve the problem... But now it's stuck on the apple start up screen with the spinning wheel, running the fan and getting very hot. I have turned it off and periodicaly back on again to see if it will sort itself out :-(
Any help advice on what to do next greatly appreicated.
Many thanks

If you're selling or giving away the computer, throw any files which may contain sensitive data in the Trash and securely empty it.
Restart from the computer's original disks(or the recovery partition if it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer), use the Disk Utility to erase the drive, and install a new OS.

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

My imovie doesn't work, it's a 3 month old MacBook Pro can anyone help?, my imovie doesn't work, it's a 3 month old MacBook Pro can anyone help?

My imovie isn't working and I have never used it before.. An error code pop's up when i try,tell's me to reopen but the same error code pop's up.. Please Help, Thanks

If iMovie won't start, one thing to try is delete the iMovie Preferences file:
Go to your hard drive Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Drag that file to the trash, reboot your Macintosh and try to launch iMovie again. Failing that if you can write down the error code and report that back to the Discussion Group someone else might be able to start helping with trouble-shooting the failure.

If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it. If not, try the steps in this support article:

I have uninstalled everything on my laptop, removed all my files to my external device and my laptop is still incredibly slow when opening any of the adobe applications, can anyone help please?

I have downloaded the adobe student suite and whenever I open any of the adobe applications my laptop is incredibly slow, I cannot use any other application at the same time and often have to force quit. I have taken all my files off my laptop and added to my external hardrive. Can anyone help please?

What about other non-Adobe programs on the machine - do they also run slowly?
What are your system specifications? How do they match up to the system requirements for the software?
