Bootcamp w. XP Pro SP2: Ultra-slow "sticky" scrolling and graphics performa

Hi,
unpacking my Uni-MBP 15" today was unfortunately sofar the best part of owning a new Mac:
After installing and running Xp Pro Sp2 with Bootcamp, I'm quite disappointed:
Scrolling pages as well as general graphics performance is - sofar- horrible.
It also looks like there is no good driver easily available to correctly support the 2 graphics cards of the system - neither on the OSX DVD nor Apple support or Nvidia ( I tried all the downloads)
XP advanced display settings tells me that it doesn't know what cards are installed (set to an unknown Plug and Play VGA adapter).
I am sure there is somewhere a helpful post, but I couldn't find it - therefore:
HELP! How do I get decent graphics performance in XP with my MBP???
Thank you for your help!

There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
The issue your having is with the way Keynote takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
If you want to show a wesite or another app on either display, use application switcher:
press the the command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command > tab to return to Keynote.

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it and it refused to boot afterwards.

My friend was Bootcamping his Macbook Pro halfway when he cancelled it due to it running slowly, the Bootcamp Assistant cancelled but the Macbook froze after that and he had to force quit the application. When he restarted the Macbook, it showed the typical white screen and then it switched to a black screen with a underscore at the top left corner. From my experience, it is booting into Windows when it showed the black screen with the underscore and now its kinda stuck and unable to boot into Mac Os X Lion nor Windows 7. Any help for this? And this is a school Macbook with some Master Admin password so it may not be able to enter BIOS but perhaps we can select the boot device. He is screwed if it cannot be fixed :/ Thanks to all who help!
-Macbook Pro received at February 2012 (Mac Os X Lion)

a friend told me that he wants my os x cd for my macbook pro to upgrade his imac.
The discs that come with your Mac are "machine specfic" and cannot be used on another Mac.

Qt4 updated to 4.8.7: Slow text scrolling and higher load time.

System is fully upgraded, and i just noticed that every qt4 application has become incredibly slow when using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native (slow dolphin scrolling, slow konsole scrolling)
It is probably related to text antialiasing, because if i disable subpixel hinting in konsole, it start to scroll fast.
Reverting back to 4.8.6 fixes it.
I want to use native instead of raster because:
1) when used remotely via x2go and ssh, qt apps are very fast using QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native
2) with QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native one is able to retain RGB subpixel hinting even over trasparent windows.
I'm using nvidia-340xx 340.76 with a geforce 9800GT and freetype2-infinality 2.4.12-2 if it matters.
Anybody can help please?
-EDIT
This does not seem to be related to an update of the xorg-server, nor to the graphic driver; i notice the same behaviour when using a remote (fast) vnc connection.
I bet it is a QT4 bug; someone could test please?

It is not just the text scrolling under native graphicssystem to be slow.
All qt4 apps with text edit widgets are now slower to open, even with raster graphicssystem.
Gambas3 ide takes 6 seconds to start; on 4.8.6 it starts in 2 seconds here.
Just reported both:

MacBook Pro C2D, Bootcamp, Windows XP Pro SP2, D-Link DWA-645 Driver

I just did a test by installing the D-link DWA-645 drivers in Windows XP running under Bootcamp and connecting to the new AirPort Extreme 802.11n base station to see if I can get the higher speeds. I can confirm that the D-link driver does enable the 802.11n capabilities under this environment. It works at both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz.
Both the MacBook Pro (as well as a few other recent Macs) use the Atheros AR5008 chipset for their wireless connectivity. Until Apple updates the Bootcamp drivers or Windows this seems to be a good workaround to get the full speed out of the 802.11n chipset in Macs under Bootcamp.

I have the same computer and the same issue in Bootcamp. I haven't noticed any correlation with a context menu however. Hoping for an updated driver soon to fix this...

Hello t@singh
Check out the article below for your MacBook Pro running slow and slowing your productivity. Check Activity Monitor to see if your RAM is being used up and also check the hard drive using Disk Utility.
OS X Lion: If your Mac runs slowly

Why did my Macbook Pro got so slow after formatting and reinstalling Mavericks?

I had Mavericks a month ago, then i upgraded to Yosemite, and my computer got extremely slow, so i formatted it and reinstalled Mavericks again, i feel it's slower than the last time i used it with Mavericks, i have no idea why. i erased my hard drive and reinstalled from an external drive. Seriously i thought it was going to be faster than how i had it before since it's going to be more fresh without so many apps that i don't use often...
Is there anything that i could do?
Thanks

This is the new result i got just surfing on Safari:
This is what i got from the app EtreCheck:

My final cut pro has been slowing down unbearably and creating duplicates

Hi. I have an appointment booked for the end of next week to have my laptop looked at but I was wondering if anyone might know what my issue is.
I've edited 7 projects on final cut pro 10 and they've all been fine. For some reason every time I closed the program a duplicate of my library was created to the point I had about 100 files. So when I started work on an eighth project, the program was running unbearably slow and my start up disk was full. I deleted all the duplicates but it is still running slow to the point it can't really be used, and it is still creating duplicates every time I close the program. It's also telling me my start up disk is full even though I've just deleted about 100 files and emptied them from the trash.
Another thing, I'm using an external hard drive for this project so I haven't added any new heavy files onto the computer. They're all on the hard drive.
It's a bit vague but basically how can I avoid it creating duplicates and has anyone else experienced this problem, as to why it's so slow. It may be an actual software issue in which case I'll find out next week. But in the mean time...
Thanks
Tom

Thanks everyone for responding. I've actually been away from my computer for the whole weekend so haven't been looking at this forum that I only posted on Friday morning. Actually had a heck of a lot else to deal with this weekend so maybe Innocentius and Russ I'd appreciate if you'd keep your rather irritating remarks to yourself. It's been two days.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. The system is OS X 10.9.2.
I've attached a screen shot of the details of my computer and a shot of final Cut Pro. It's actually got to the point where I can hardly open final Cut pro because the whole computer seizes up as soon as it gets turned on.
It took five attempts and several hours to export the last project I did, kept saying the start up disk was full despite the fact I deleted whole folders of videos and then tried again. I'm not sure it's the computer but more the program.
Any help much appreciated. I am busy though and not always quick with my responses.

The audio in my Macbook Pro sometimes becomes slow, low-pitched, and glitchy. Any idea what's going on?

After restarting the computer, everything is back to normal, but it keeps happening every once in awhile. Any idea on how to fix it without shutting down?

Remove the Sophos product by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version, the procedure may be different.
Back up all data before making any changes.

My Mac Book Pro has become slow on Facebook and continuously gets popups on safari after updating to mavericks

My Mac book was running perfectly fine before I updated to mavericks and now I get flashy "you won" popups and others that slide across my screen. I have pop up blocker on and have continuously restarted my safari and cleared it. Nothing seems to work I think I have a virus. Please help!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Ultra Slow start up and Log In times

Hi,
Today, i turned my computer on, and did what i usually do in the mornings. Then, I Selected Shut Down, from the apple window. Everything dissapeared from my screen, except the mouse, which is normal. so i left it. But when i came home, it hadnt changed. So, i turned it off manually. THEN, when i turned it back on, it took me 10 minutes go get to a state where i could start using the computer.

Welcome to Discussions - have you tried to restart again>
What is the exact model you have? Do you fit into either of
these programs?
Please post back,

Safari 6 Slow PDF Scroll and Behavior !!!!

! Hi !
I've just upgraded from Lion to ML and noticed something wierd. If I open a pdf link in Safari 6, and the embedded PDF viewer starts, safari becomes Slow scrolling the PDF and sometimes Stops for 2 pr 3 seconds.
Is Anyone having the same problem?
Can someone help me?
Best Regards,
Stejimenez

Just adding my $.02 here as well, Safari Version 6.0 (8536.25) seems buggy, for example, right now none of my keyboard shortcuts work, changing tabs, back, or the mouse gestures like back or scrolling do not work.
for clairfication I'm on a Macbook Pro 17 OS X 10.8 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I use the following key commands in chrome and used to use them in Safari before Mountain Lion upgrade:
⌘ ← to go back (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
⌘⌥← (or ⌘⌥→) to switch tabs (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
I use the following gestures in chrome and used to use them in Safari before Mountain Lion upgrade:
two-finger vertical swipe to scroll (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
three-finger horzontal swipe to the left to go back (doesn't work in Safari 6.0)
Through further testing I think it's site specific, gestures do not work while on stackoverflow or facebook, but do work on w3cschools and wordpress.org -- huh.
Others out there experience the same issue

Slow to start and general performance. Endless DataDetectorsDynamicData.crash logs

Suspect this occurred with upgrade, however I've been using my Macbook Air a lot of late simply due to lack of time to address.
Assistance to resolve greatly appreciated.
Message snipped from DataDetectorsDynamicData_XXXXXX.crash
Application Specific Signatures:
Could not obtain real path to the container root (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.DataDetectorsDynamicData/Data): The operation couldn?t be completed. No such file or directory
I've had a look and the Data directory didn't exist. I've just tried creating it and it appears the crash logs have not stopped.. Will try restarting and see if this impacts this issue and report back.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

IPod, iTunes, and Windows XP Pro SP2

I recently upgraded my computer from running Windows XP Pro (no service packs installed) to running Windows XP Pro SP1a, and now SP2.
While running SP1a, I connected my iPod (5th Generation video, 30GB model) to my computer, but it didn't appear in My Computer, nor iTunes. It was recognized by Windows, as noted by the "Safely Remove Hardware" option, as well as my normal "
"HI-SPEED in non-HI-SPEED" warning (my computer is running USB 1.1). I've also tried all four ports, and all four gave me the same response.
I tried connecting it again once I installed SP2, and again, same problems arose. I began trying to troubleshoot it by doing the Right Click on My Computer -> Manage -> Start/Stop iPod Service thing, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, repairing iTunes, using the CD I got with my iPod... nothing worked, and it's still only be recognized but basically unusuable.
The iPod displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message, and shows signs of being charged, so I know it can't be anything wrong with the connection. I've also connected it to my school laptop (running XP Pro SP2, USB 2.0 connection) and it worked perfectly fine, showed up in My Computer and everything.
I've even run iTunes, gone to Help menu -> Run Diagnostics -> iPod Diagnostics, and 3 of the 4 "lights" are green; the last one, "iPod Connection Status" is red. And that, of course, tells me nothing about why my iPod won't be recognized otherwise.
I've come to the conclusion that, under SP2, you can't use USB 1.1 but that makes absolutely no sense at all... could anyone help me out and give me any ideas as to whether or not that is true, or else what might be causing the problem?
Thanks so much in advance!

Just tossing in my experience quickly:
Ever since I "upgraded" to v7 of iTunes, my iPod (60G w/Video) hasn't been recognized, same as Rebecca. Also my TransFlash memory cards aren't recognized, either. I went through many steps listed in these forums, to no avail; I even did a repair install of Windows. I have noticed in my Device Manager the following: a yellow exclamation point beside "parport" and "serial". (Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices) For both of these entries, under their properties, it says this: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" I haven't found much info surfing the net as of yet... I hope this info helps a bit. Don't mean to hijack, here, either. But in my opinion the new iTunes upgrade corrupts the windows registry somehow, as this story of mine seems to be quite prevalent...

MacBook Pro 2010 Very Slow Startup for computer and Programs

My MacBook Pro is very slow start up and sometimes fails to. also when using Safari computer will freeze. when opening and closing programs it can take up to 15 min. this all started in the last two weeks. I have also had to update Yosemiti a lot in the last couple weeks. Is there issues with the updates or is there something more going on?

Post an etrecheck report back here, which may give us some clues.
