Brand new 2011 macbook pro (preinstalled lion osx) is too slow! Is there anyway to role back to previous OS if it came pre-installed?
I purchased new macbook pro 15" with quad core 2.2 ghz intel i7, 8gb of ram. I swear to god it is slower than my previous 2008 macbook running leopard OS. I use heavy programs pretty often, adobe CS5 and 3D modeling and some rendering on the mac side and and a bit of 3D work with fusion on windows. I was really expecting a performance boost with the new computer, but Lion is annoyingly slow. Even if I am not using any of the heavy stuff and just browsing on the internet, it seems noticeably slower than the 2008 macbook. Typing lags sometimes, genie effect and opening effect lags. The iOS type features are also sluggish. I am about ready to start working again on my old macbook on leopard. I haven't had any issues with the machine completely freezing (though I have had to force quit apps a few times). It is definitely a usable machine, but for the price and newness I expect the performance to be better than the 2008 macbook. From what I have read on the forums, I am blaming the buggy Lion OS for my troubles. I figured the OS might still have some bugs as it was brand new, but this is more than I bargained for.
Does anyone know if it is possible to role back to Snow Leopard? I have heard it can't be done if the computer came pre-installed with Lion OS, but surely some clever people have figured a way...
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
I am not using Filevault, and the closest genius bar is 4 hours away, so I am trying to figure out a solution via internet. I will check out the Fusion update, though I expect that to be slow (that is the price you pay for running windows on a mac!)
I am surprised you havent noticed the resume/restore windows, docs, and apps feature (for both subsequent openings of program and reboot of system- new to Lion OS) I use the term feature lightly as they didnt seem to work properly initially, like they had cached older stuff than when I actually quit an app or shut down. After the first couple of times of the computer stalling trying to reopen an application with a heavy document or restarting and trying to open EVERY program I had used the day before, I disabled the features. To disable required a bit of a hack with Terminal.
to disable on restart:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/disable-reopen-windows-when-logging-back-in-in-ma c-os-x-lion-completely/
to disable resuming applications:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/
--only that doesn't really work (which if you scroll through the comments below you will see what people post about it) I had to expose the hidden library, delete some stuff there, and run some stuff in terminal to get this feature totally disabled, blah blah blah.
These seem like good ideas, but definitely need some tweaking to work properly. I like the iOS features in Mission Control, but the lagging animations are absolutely unacceptable. Even dragging an icon across starts out jerky and sluggish. I never noticed any issue with the OS animations on the 2008 Macbook running Leopard.
Anyway, there are known compatibility issues with Lion and Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe CS5 products are what I use most often, so I would like to role back to Snow leopard, though it is reported that Apple has made that impossible on the new machines that shipped with Lion.

I have the new 2011 macbook pro, with lion preinstalled. I want to change the harddrive. I have backed up everything on time machine. when i put my new blank hard drive in will the lion screen startup.How do i get the lion dmg when i am already using lion
NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

Brand New 2011 Macbook pro Not Charging while Plugged in
I purhcased a brand new 2011 17" macbook pro. The macbook will charge up to 100% while nothing is plugged in. When i start running applications it will switch to "Not charging" on the toolbar. This is while its plugged in.
This has happned when i have just 2 apps open.
I DJ a nightclub and sometimes have 4 apps open, which is not a lot and this doenst happen with my 2009 17" macbook pro.
I have done the SMC reset and this still happens.
I have read all the fourms and googled it and see im not alone.
From what i can see, and makes sense is, the new Quad-Core processors use more power, and with just the macbook running, even openign up 2 apps, its using about 95W of power. With the powersupply only 85W, it makes sense how it can switch to not charging.
From what i have seen, it will actually go down to about 3% of charge and stay there. It will say Not chargeing for a while, then go away like its charging, then switch back to not charging. It basicllys charges it enough to keep it around 3%.
now if i turn off all apps, it will charge back up, but that is hard to do in the middle of DJ'n the nightclub.
I know my best friend has this same issue on his 2011 macbook pro, he bought online from Apple, and i got mine from an Apple store about 4 months later, so i know its not the same batch.
I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this on the 2011 quad-core laptops and does anyone know if Apple is aware of this and are there plans on updating the powersupply to provide more power. Maybe 85W is not enough to charge it.
I have not opened a ticket with Apple yet but i will.
I just wanted to post this up to see if anyone is seeing this same thing.
ThanksHello, I have had very similar problems but with the MBP not even registering that a charger is plugged in (no light coming on and no change to the battery symbol).
I had a mid 2010 model that was sent in 4 times to be fixed, with no change, followed by the unit being replaced altogether with the latest 2011 model, only to find the issue persists (the charger was replaced early on as well).
The only retaining factor is the Lion software which forums have highlighted has effected charging when individuals have upgraded.
It is appalling that a company like Apple have not taken steps to address these issues and will go as far as to replace all components TWICE in one Laptop, as well as give out a new Laptop, without tackling the real problem.
Appalled and ultimately very disappointed. -
Brand new 2011 MacBook Pro Randomly freezing
Hi,
Im a bit concerned I have just got a BRAND NEW MacBook Pro 2011 and already I have had 4-5 random freezes where i have had to hold down the power button to bring it back to life!!
These have happend as i said just randomly, for example i lifted the lid to wake it from sleep mode and it just frooze on me, became totally unresponsive??
Another example was when i went to paste a url using cmd-v and it frooze on me??
I'm a bit dissapointed as I have just switched from windows PC's because I had had enough of that sort of thing and believed these where solid machines with very little issues comapred to a windows system!! and for 2k I don't exect it to freeze especially within a week!!
I'm hoping its down to software issues to which a software or OSx update will solve.
Any Ideas?Hello, I have had very similar problems but with the MBP not even registering that a charger is plugged in (no light coming on and no change to the battery symbol).

Brand New 2011 Macbook Pro 17" Feezing...
Hello all,
Just curious if anyone is experiencing system hang-ups even under normal conditions. I am a graphic designer and just made this purchase less than 2 weeks ago. This is very disappointing to say the least.
This is my very first Mac. I have been reading this all over the Web. Particulary the Macbook Pro.
Macbook Pro
17-inch, Late 2011
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 updatedThx Dave...yeah will do. Seems like it's a common prob. From what I gather the gfx auto-switching may be the culprit. Have also experienced temps that are way out of the normal range. May be a GPU driver issue. I've always used Nvidia. So I'm unfamiliar with AMD...and related problems.
Anyway I'll give them a shout.

i have seen many other threads about this, but i just want to know if anyone has found a fix that actually works? or do i just need to wait for apple to send a fix in their next update?
Suppose you elaborate on what you are doing with the MBP that makes the battery life terrible.

I have succesfully migrated my data from my 2006 MacBook to a new 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I delete ALL of my personal data from the MacBook so my girlfriend can use it to support iTunes and her iPod?
Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen -
FaceTime can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of Mac OS X is too new. I removed all traces of FaceTime and still not able to install from App store. New to macbook pro with Lion.any help with this would be greaty appreciated.
FaceTime is included in Lion. The App Store version is for 10.6. If you deleted it, restore it from a backup, or reinstall the Mac OS.

What is the best way to run my guitar into it, to record in garageband without latency issues?
Thanx in advance for your help
Lonesomedave-davefromlexington wrote:
The problem for me is that I've read reviews on several of the interfaces on the list I was directed to, where one person had no latency issues, and then somewhere else the poster/reviewer testifies that they were plagued by latency issues.
After forking out the cash for a new Mac and then a couple more for an an interface, that'd be a tough pill to swallow!!
Fortunately, it's not one you have to worry about.
The latency you're talking about is caused by the computer, not the interface:
The interface converts the audio from analog to digital and sends it into the computer. Once in the computer, it gets sent into Garageband (or whatever audio program you're using), and any effects you've selected are applied to it, and then it is sent back out to the interface to be reconverted into an analog signal you can hear.
All the "heavy lifting" occurs in the computer itself, so the source of latency is really the time it takes the computer to process the audio, apply the effects algorithms, and send it back to the interface.
(There is latency in any circuit, but the latency in the interface itself is negligible compared to how long it can be delayed in the computer).
Your new computer is plenty fast (and has enough RAM) to do basic recording without latency.
I'm guessing you won't even have to resort to the kind of "zero latency" local monitoring that Hangtime suggested (i.e. listening to your signal locally, bypassing its journey into your computer, through its algorithms, and back out again). Although as it's true that doing that always provides the least latency of all, if that's an important safety net for you, you might want to get an interface with that feature - a number of them now offer it.
But I would guess that if you plug any contemporary interface into your computer, and plug your guitar into it, you shouldn't be bothered by latency.
FWIW - a good online source for gear is Sweetwater. Here's their audio interface page for Firewire:
http://www.sweetwater.com/c683--FireWire_Audio_Interfaces
... and for USB:
http://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USB_Audio_Interfaces
Firewire interfaces tend to be higher end than USB, but cost a little more as well.
Good luck! -
Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.
It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

Brand new i5 Macbook Pro making "clunking" sounds with any sort of movement
I bought a brand new 15" Macbook Pro with a core i5 processor a few months ago. While it is the first Mac I have owned after a lifetime of owning and building PC's, I love it to death.
Anyways, anytime there is any sort of movement, say, if I'm moving from my desk to the couch and I pick the laptop up, it makes a clunking noise which to me sounds exactly like a failing hard drive. The difference is that it only clunks once or twice during the movement, and then stops once I stop moving the laptop. This happens even if I move the laptop very carefully.
My girlfriend has had her 13" macbook for years, and it does not do this.
It doesn't seem to affect my performance (yet), but i'm wondering, is this normal? Is this maybe the warning sign of a hard drive that could be failing prematurely?it is the sudden motion sensor and what you hear is correct it comes from your drive . when the accelorometer detects certain G's it shuts the drive which makes the drive head park suddenly and the " clunk " you hear is the drive head parking . while it's perfectly ok ( you can not hurt your drive by parking it ) it might get boring after a while if you move it around too much .. you can go ahead and disable your sudden motion sensor at the cost of risking damage when your machine absorbs some proper shock . your choice .. if you google disable sms in google you will get the code to do it if you ever wish to do so
mine is disabled for good but then I am using an SSD -
My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick. Any suggestions ? ThankYou
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.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) backlight keyboard not functioning properly?
I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and for some reason, the automatic backlight keyboard will not funtion as it should. When I have the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option enabled in settings, and I turn on the lights, my backlight keyboard stays at full brightness. Then, when I turn off the keyboard, then the lights, the keyboard does not turn on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that this was a feature in the MBP lines.
Try a SMC reset. Shut down the computer. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.
These newer ones are likley directly on the PCIe Bus. That will take some time to develop.
