Animation on macbook pro retina got slow after upgrading

Hey guys,
I just got my macbook pro retina updated, but the animations are slow like when you open launchpad or mission control.. it lacks alot.. Anyone having the same issue? Looks like a graphic fault or something. Hope they will fix this soon.

  • Facetime and iMessage on Macbook Pro Retina display slow after Yosemite 10.10.3 Update

    Hi
    I recently updated my Macbook Pro Retina display to Yosemite 10.10.3 update. I see that the Facetime and iMessage has become relatively very slow. Like for example when someone calls on my phone it takes like more than 15 seconds + to show up on my macbook. Earlier it used to be like instant!
    I started seeing this problem on Yosemite 10.10.3 update only. Also the same is the story with iMessage. When I get an SMS or an iMessage from my friends it takes like a good 30 seconds + to show up on my macbook pro.
    Just for your information, this is the version of macbook i am using
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    251GB Flash storage
    As Suggested by someone I also tried RESETTING my computer's PRAM. That didn't seem to help either. Can anyone help. If it is a genuine bug in Apple Yosemite, I'd like to file a bug in the community.
    Regards

  • MacBook Pro runs very slow after upgrade to Yosemite?  Why did you turn my Mac into a Windows computer?

    I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (non-retina).  Now the system is incredibly slow. 
    1) wake-up form sleep takes up to a minute
    2) Various icons will not open or respond until I have clicked on it three or four times and get the spinning beach ball (Finder, Calendar, iTunes)
    3) Using Outlook for Mac app - similar issue as 2 when trying to send mail, add attachments or do anything
    I am very frustrated by this upgrade.  Any recommendations for speeding the system back to Mountain Lion levels?

  • MacBook Pro Retina Audio issue after upgrade to Mountain Lion

    Got my new MacBook Pro with Retina display just over a week ago now and was working brilliantly up until last night.
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion via the App store as I already bought it for my other macs and didnt wish to wait to redeem my free copy.
    Ever since the update the audio develops a stutter on any audio file no matter what format, program used or at any volume.
    I am hoping this is just a software isssue and can be easily rectified. I have restarted it, tried a different user and pretty much anything else I could think of before posting this.
    Any help would be greatly recieved.
    Thanks
    Luke

    Using gfxCardStatus to force discrete graphics stops the audio stutter on my machine.  I already returned one retina mbp for three dead pixels... Strange that graphics switching has something to do with the audio, especially since it was stuttering every 15 seconds or so, not when the nvidia kicked in...

  • My macbook pro is running slow after upgrading to Mavericks. I have attached an etrecheck report. If anyone could offer advice I'd be very grateful

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Macbook Pro Mid-2012 slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    A few days ago, my macbook started to run very slowly on Mountain Lion. This was the first time that I ever had any issues with it. So I decided to upgrade to Mavericks and see if that would solve it. I did a clean install of the OS and it is still fairly slow (especially chrome). It feels like every time I open a new tab in safari or open a new application, I would get the spinning pinwheel.
    I ran disk repair/disk permissions and reset the PRAM and still no luck.
    Also, when I close the lid, it will not go to sleep.
    Could this be a sign that the hdd is going bad?
    Here are my specs:
    MBP 13", Mid 2012
    8gb 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    OSX 10.9.4
    750gb hdd 5400rpm

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion

    my macbook pro is very slow after installing mountain lion?  Is anyone else having this issue?

    If you don't use an SSD and bump your RAM up to 8 Gb's you may experience slow speeds, but I noticed slow speeds with your general configuration in SL.
    one thing you should consider right now is, Spotlight is Reindexing your hard drive, that takes time and resources, (resources which you don't necessarily have to spare).
    If you continue feeling like your performance is slow, you have a few options with this computer (I have the same one).
    the express card slot can house a wintec SSD drive. That little door on the side of your machine is pure gold for a really quick solution for speeding up your machine. I have one in mine right now i'm using as a scratch disk for CS6 but I used to boot from it, and the speed boost was out of this world.
    You could take out the internal HDD and put in a new SSD (I have a Vertex 4 from OCZ) it is completely over kill but my experience is pretty fast and I keep up with the later MBP models colleagues have.
    There are some other options for you like taking out the optical drive (however I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about that here). Google Data Doubler.
    You need to also set it to always use the 9600 chipset, this will increase performance a lot too. to do this go to system preferences>energy saver>Better Performance. This switches the video card to the better one and makes a world of difference.
    Lastly, your RAM. after an EFI Firmware update, our computer support up to 8GBs of RAM. Do it!

  • Macbook pro runs really slow after sleep mode

    My MBP ( MacBook Pro (13-inch, medio 2012), 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB), runs very slow after sleep mode. I notice that when I wake it up, my memory usage is nearly 8 GB. After a restart it is back no a normal level, between 2 and 5 GB depending on how many programs I am running. Any ideas what causes this? My IOS is Yosemite 10.10.2
    Kind regards

  • HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

    Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 13" - Can i upgrade the dual-core i7 to quad-core i7 CPU?

    MacBook Pro Retina 13" - Can i upgrade the dual-core i7 to quad-core i7 CPU?  (obviously not talking about BTO, but about "self-service" upgrade ...)

    Yeah it is soldered. So no upgrade possible. Found here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq /macbook-pro-retina-display-processor-ram-expansion-slots.html
    Thanks Jon P D !

  • My MacBook Pro is REALLY slow after a week of running Yosemite perfectly

    I have a MacBook Pro (about 3 years old) and I have never had any problems with it.
    When Yosemite was released I updated and my MacBook ran perfectly and faster then before for a little over a week. Then all of a sudden it became SO incredibly slow. There is a waiting time on everything that has to do with a computer; from when I make a keystroke to the letter actually pops up on the screen, when I click an icon to launch a program, and so - I think you get the picture. Always the **** rainbow circle.
    I have searched so many forums online and tried a lot of different things such as re-indexing spotlight, the "Hold down the left shift, option and control keys together with the power button-trick", various "sudo" commands in terminal, cleaning out junk (not in a very structured matter, just old files I didn't need anymore). To be honest I have no idea what I am doing, I just try whatever the smart people in the forums suggest.
    I am lucky to have very recently been gifted a brand new MacBook Pro retina bla bla bla, which I am writing this from now, so it's not really an emergency situation. It's just really annoying to have a MacBook I can't use and that also has ALL of my previous work and programs on it.
    SO here's another question:  I would just really like to back my old MacBook up using Time Machine but as the MacBook is REALLY SLOW so is the back up process. At first it was stuck on "preparing" but I figured it was because my 500GB TM external harddrive was too small, so I bought a new 1TB external harddrive. Right now my old MacBooks is performing a back up  and has passed the "preparing" stage, but after around 20 hours it has no time estimation and has only backed up "1.28 GB of 98.29 GB" and I feel like this is WAY too ineffective and really shouldn't take that long. I cant wait 100 days for this thing to back up ?!?!?!?!
    So basically I have a seriously slow MacBook Pro, so slow it actually cannot be used and so slow it cannot back up.
    I tried using Migrant Assistant via bluetooth to my new MacBook, but as you probably have guessed - over 24 hours later it was still stuck, and I also had my doubts because I thought if the slow, demonic MacBook would simply just infect and possess my new, pure, virgin MacBook.
    So this was probably confusing.
    To sum it up:
    - I am a girl and I am a technical neanderthal <3
    - I have 2 MacBooks; one slow, one brand new - both running up-to-date Yosemite and other updates are on fleek
    - It would be ideal for me to use Migrant Assistant to set my new Macbook to what I'm used to - can this be done without screwing up my new MacBook?
    - I can't seem to get TM working on my old one - can I bring my iPhoto and iTunes library to safety manually (like my other folders)?
    - I have not been a good girl, and that means my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    I really don't want to just wipe it completely, as I don't want to lose the programs I have installed - it's just such a hassle to reinstall and codes and what not.
    Extra info if it's necessary to anyone:
    I have monitored the CPU% for some time in the Activity Monitor and when literally no programs but the Activity Monitor is open and the CPU% of free CPU is 98% the computer is STILL ----------- SO --------------- SLOooooooooow..... ( just to clarify I have checked if there's random program that takes up all the CPU; there's not). Also I have no clue what CPU is so, if I have used it in a weird way in these sentences, please forgive me.
    Product:
    MacBook Pro (13", primo 2011)
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Memory:
    215.31 GB free out of 318.84 GB
    My System Memory looks like this at CPU% = 1.15 right now :
    "real memory" : 38.9 MB
    "virtual memory" : 2.48 GB
    "shared memory" : 20.4 MB
    "private memory" : 10.6 MB
    I have no idea what any of this means or if it has any significance, but it said that I should include it.
    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    I really really really hope that someone can (and want to) help me. It's not that I don't want to take it to any Mac-certified store, it's just I live in Denmark and the people who work at these stores always just say that they can "wipe it clear" so it's "as good as new" for a 100 bucks. We don't have Genius Bars and stuff..... I would really be so happy if ANYONE have just ANY solution to what would be a good idea to do now.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance
    Anne Katrine

    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
    ... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
    Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • 2014 MacBook Pro Retina - VERY SLOW USB 3.0 = cloning is now not possible

    For all my previous MacBook (Air and Pro) with Maverick, I always backed it up using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC). For those who doesn't know, CCC can create a bootable image of your Mac. So you can take the external drive, plug it is into any Mac, boot up and VOILA! You got your machine right there. Much better than Time Machine.
    Anyways, I tried to do a CCC image on my MacBook Pro Retina 2014 with Yosemite and this is what I found out:
    1). USB 3.0
    Very, very slow. I cannot get more than 40 MB Read / Write. Tested with major flash drive proven to have high speed:
    256 GB PNY USB 3.0 Turbo Flash Drive (4.5 stars - 1200 reviews in Amazon).
    64 GB SanDisk UltraFit USB 3.0 (4 stars - 200 reviews)
    From the Amazon URL above, you'll see that other reviewers (see the Amazon URL) got 180 MBps Read and 80 Mbps Write, but I don't know if they are running Yosemite and/or the new MBPr.
    From the System Report, Yosemite show that these drives IS capable of USB 3.0 speed:
    USB 3.0 FD:
    Speed: Up to 5 Gb/sec
    Manufacturer: PNY Technologies
    Location ID: 0x15200000 / 12
    Current Available (mA): 900
    Current Required (mA): 504
    Capacity: 256 GB (255,999,344,640 bytes)
    Removable Media: Yes
    Internal Memory Card Reader:
    Product ID: 0x8406
    Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
    Version: 8.20 Serial Number: 000000000820
    Speed: Up to 5 Gb/sec
    Manufacturer: Apple
    And this brings me to the next problem...
    2). Cloning
    I can clone my new MBP with Yosemite as usual, but then booting up from the flash drive is SUPER SLOW, like this:
    Apple icon shown with progress bar --> 10 minutes
    Login screen shown - click on the Password box --> beachball for 5 minutes
    Got to desktop --> beachball for 5 minutes
    ... you got the idea
    With Maverick, all the cloned image boot up fast and is usable, as if I the image is installed in the internal hard drive. I tried both SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner - same exact results.
    So my questions:
    1). Is the slow USB 3.0 speed a common problem or my MBP just have bad ports (both of them?)?
    2). Any idea about the cloning issue? I am leaning towards Yosemite OS as the main culprint, since Maverick works OK, but want to get the expert opinion.

    FYI, this is the speed I get for one of the USB drive (see below). This is far below the speed I get on Windows machine or, as other posted in Amazon review, in older MacBook.
    Keep in mind that these tests are done using two separate USB 3.0 flash drives, both reported to have speed of 5Gb/Sec in OSX System Report (See Apple FAQ here - How can I determine if my device is connected as a USB 3 device?) and are fast in Windows machine.
    Anyone see the same problem with USB 3.0 on latest MacBook Pro?
