Lion runs very slow on a fast MacBook Pro, why?

I have Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, I used to have Snow Leopard and it was VERY fast. I bought Lion about 3 months after its release date. I like it but, all the aplications run REALLY slow! On Snow Leopard, my computer would boot up within 30 seconds but after I got Lion it at least takes a minute to boot up. I also keep seeing the beachball every now and then, and when I look at my ram usage, it's normal. Safari takes for ever to launch, but after its on I have no problem at all. Another wierd thing is that when I am on youtube, Safari itself uses 1.5gb of ram. I don't know if this has anything to do with Lion but when I was a Snow Leopard user my battery health would stay between 95% and 100% but since I have Lion, it "jumps' around. I goes to any random number between 80 and 100. An hour ago it 90% and right now its 82%, tomorrow it will be something like 85%. I've not changed the way I charge and use my battery. Does Lion use more battery?

Oh, and I forgot to add the specs. I have 4gb of Memory/Ram. The processor is a 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's a 13" MacBook Pro.

Very Slow Wireless on New MacBook Pro

Hi just bought a 13' MacBook pro about a week ago. Immediatley from getting it my wireless internet is very slow. We have a few other pc's in the house that use the same router and they all run fine on the wireless, even our phones run great. When I am plugged in with the ethernet cable the internet seems to work fine but as soon as I am wireless it takes forever. Pages will take minutes to load up. I was on the phone with mac support and what they did didn't seem to fix the problem. I am getting so frustrated and would really like any help. Thank you.

In the Belkin config, have you got 'Protected Mode' On or Off? (Wireless > Channel and SSID > Protected Mode) It's generally faster Off unless a lot of 802.11b devices on your network.
Packet loss or packet re-ordering might cause that drop, as might a high MTU value, but it's hard to troubleshoot ...
(I'm using a Belkin G+MIMO and getting as fast/same performance as hard wired machines)

Garageband running very slow on my new Macbook Pro

I have just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro - base model - and Garageband is running very slow. I've added nothing else to my Macbook yet......
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Your computer is farrrrr more powerful than what you're describing, so something is definitely amiss.
Are you saying in Disk Utility, you are unable to click "Repair Disk Permissions?" Does your user identity have admin privileges? I'm not sure if that's a requirement to be able to repair disk permissions or not, but the ability to repair disk permissions should always be available to you.
Another thing you could try in terms of troubleshooting is to go into system preferences -> accounts, and create a new account. It can be a temporary one just to test this. Then, in the new account, you could see if you have the same problems. You could always delete the account after the test.
You could also try recording to an external drive. A firewire drive would work best (recording to external firewire drives generally improves performance) and would rule out the internal drive as the culprit.
If you are still having problems, you could always call AppleCare, which can walk you through a hardware test, or bring the computer into an Apple store to have them check out, in case there's something wrong with the computer itself.

Very slow restoring volume on MacBook Pro

I had my external USB 2.0 drive plugged in to the USB port on the right side of my MacBook Pro (1,1) and the estimated time for completion for a full Time Machine restore was about 25 hours. Needless to say I quit and shutdown my MacBook Pro, I plugged my external drive into a powered USB 2.0 hub and attached the hub to the USB port on the left side, rebooted and now the restore is going to take about 2 hours. That's way better...
I thought that both ports on the MacBook Pro where high-speed 2.0 ports. I guess not. From prior experience trying to sync my iPod with this MacBook Pro, I didn'ttry the left port by itself.
A couple of notes for those restoring on a MacBook Pro:
- When it was restoring at the slow speed I first clicked the Stop button, it asked for confirmation, I said yes and then it disabled (grayed out) the Stop button, but the restore was still in progress. I waited a long time for it to gracefully stop, but it never did. Instead I Quit the Mac OS X Installer.
- Before starting the restore again I used System Profiler in the Utilities menu of the Mac OS X Installer, to make sure that the drive was in fact connected to a high-speed USB 2.0 port. It was, so I used the Restore System From Backup command to start the restore.
I hope this is helpful to someone.

I find the volume to be very unsatisfactory, at least on my 13" Early 2011 model. The sound is very weak (with the exception of when using quality headphones).

ok, stopped syncing in System preferences and even (horror) deleted the file which reappeared in seconds.
now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement

Lion Very slow!! in Macbook pro 2.6GHz Intel Core2Duo

I need to reinstal snow leopard!! Lion isn´t work well in my laptop

If you have TimeMachine drive follow these instructions
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you will be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
Boot into Windows and backup any files there as well. Disconnect all other drives and devices not involved.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not to TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire boot disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered, OS, programs, files, Windows etc all gone.)
If Lion is hosed but boots: You may want to hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use Disk Utility to format the new blank external drive instead of using OS X Lion's Disk Utility. Then reboot into Lion and copy files that way. If you have a backup of your files this is not necessary.
If Lion won't boot: You can install OS X 10.6 onto a blank external HFS+ journaled formatted drive and then hold option key and boot off the external drive and grab your files if you don't have a backup. If your Lion drive won't mount or is corrupted try a Disk Utility repair, as a last resort use DataRescue (commercial software you need to download) to do a 1's and 0's recovery (not pretty, you should always backup)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP there, don't install OS X yet.
Look up at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker (Hitachi, Toshiba, Seagate, WD etc.), click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same drive name as before, and click Erase...
(note: if you want to "scrub" the drive of old files that haven't been overwritten yet, then use the Security Option > Zero Erase, takes a lot longer)
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Run the Software Update under the Apple Menu
Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final steps to prevent such a mess from reoccuring
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a new/blank HFS+Journaled external drive (used only for this purpose) as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..
Restoring from a bootable clone is rather painless and nearly automatic as it's a duplicate of the boot drive cloned. Make as many clones as you need.
It can be autoupdated to just apply changes so it doesn't take as long as a full clone.
http://bombich.com/get_ready_for_lion.html
Also use a TimeMachine drive, although not bootable like a clone, is easy to restore stuff from provided you have a installer disk to boot from (Restore TM is right under the same menu as Disk Utility on the installer disk), so if your superdrive is dead or your installer disks are missing or damaged, your out of luck.
Always maintain two copies of your data on two seperate pieces of hardware at all times to prevent a unexpected surprise from catching you.
Do not maintain a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, seperate drives is best.

IMovie '08 very slow performance on a MacBook Pro 2,33 Dual Core

I imported a 1 hour video clip today. Then I wanted to add 14 chapter marks. After 8 hours trying accomplish this simple task I gave up at chapter 6. It was extremely slow. I then did the same task in the previous version of iMovie in just 10 minuttes. Why is that?
I have the latest update on OS-X and iMovie '08 and all my other iLife '08 perform flawless

I agree/confirm. The new OS update made a significant improvement. I do not recall the settings I used. I just put everything to High and then reduced a few to medium until it ran smooth. I am pretty happy with gameplay now. My startup time is fair for me. It takes roughly 2 minutes for me to actually be in the game playing.
Im not sure if Apple intentionally set out to made this improvement as I read nothing about a video card update in the notice.
I wonder whatelse can be done to play this game at its full potiential on my X1600 MBP...I love to play this with my daughter. To play at all High settings would be jolly fun! lol

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!

My wifi is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro

My wifi is very very slow after installing mountain lion on my MacBook pro.
What can I do?

Ha ha, I misread that as "My wife is very slow after installing mountain lion on my Mac book pro"
BTW on my MBPro (late 2009 with max RAM) Mountain Lion runs very well with no slowing down.

The very top of my 13" macbook pro screen, above the browser or application frame, goes black sometimes and I'm unable to see the choices

the very top of my 13" macbook pro screen, above the browser or application frame, goes black sometimes and I'm unable to see the choices, any ideas?

Back up all data.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g NSFullScreenDarkMenu
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the 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.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. You can then quit Terminal. Log out and log back in.
