Brand new macbook very very slow -- etrecheck help!

My brand new macbook pro is just annoyingly slow. lots of spinning rainbow wheel, eternally bouncing icons, uselessly slow search thing. i ran an etrecheck but have no idea what it means. i'm reluctant to go to the genius bar. this is a replacement macbook after the last one i bought required 5 trips to apple store in a month (maybe 12 hours total?) for a variety of problems. i just want this one to work at least half as well as the August 2008 macbook that it replaced... any help would be so appreciated.

brand new macbook is exceptionally slow… maybe a yosemite problem?

  • Brand new macbook with really slow internet all of a sudden? I have etrecheck please help!

    Hey everyone,
    My macbook air is just over a month old and has been working great until this week.
    Weird things...
    Firstly. I turned it on one day and it came up with an error saying my ip adress has been used by another device
    Secondly. Random screen saver comes on when i have not changed any settings
    FInally. My internet is ridiculously slow. The internet pages need to be refreshed constantly and half the time load after 10 mins or not at all.
    My wifi is connected to my iphone which i have been using as internet as the speeds on that are not affectd.
    I change my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and did not allow ipv6 with a restart and cleared cache like other forums recommended. Still did nothing but here is an etrecheck report.

  • Brand new macbook (black) - sooooo slow

    i'm sitting here with a macbook black that's one week old and macbook pro using the same wireless connection. the macbook pro is 2.33GHz/2GB, macbook is 2.4GHz/2GB. macbook is taking about 30 seconds or more to load a webpage on safari, while pro is 1 second or less. i've had to close applications to get the macbook running faster, but even that hasn't worked very well. not to mention, if running apple mail, safari, word and adium is too much for the computer, that's a problem for me. i'm ready to return this thing, but i'd really rather not spend another 1000 bucks for a macbook just so i can surf the web normally. i've checked the activity monitor and nothing's out of the ordinary. i've seen the phrase zap the pram, but i'm not really sure i understand it and haven't seen evidence in the forums that it's made any difference. can someone help me pretty please?

    For troubleshooting purposes I would be interested to know if you have the same browsing problems using Firefox.
    In the meantime, try resetting Safari by going to Safari > Reset Safari. I assume if your Macbook is one week old you're using Safari 3.1...but you might want to check to be sure that's the case. If you have a previous version, upgrade to 3.1.
    Hope something here helps.

  • Internet slow on my brand new macbook air

    Hi my internet is very slow (almost unresponsive) when loading pages on my brand new macbook air. 
    The internet in my house is working fine.  I can still stream movies on other devices with no problems. 
    Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you
    -Sarah

    Have to say comparing this thread to many others that it isn't just the internet and wireless connection.  I'm just about ready to throw my new Macbook in the garbage as this has been an ongoing issue since I bought it.  And it's not the connectioon as anyone else coming in to our home is able to connect easily, Google TV runs just fine, the only device with issues is the MacBook.  The hours I waste waiting for pages to load or trying to reconnect are numerous.  Very dissappointed.
    While this thread had a happy outcome, most of the others are like my situation where the problem doesn't get resolved.  If the standard PCs and windows can work fine why doesn't a Mac.  I feel duped and dumped twice as much money into a device that doesn't work as good as the less expensives laptops with Windows.

  • Brand new macbook pro slows down after I transfer files on from old computer

    Hey, I just purchased a brand new Macbook Pro 3.5 GhZ Haswell processor, 500 gb of flash memory, 16 gb of RAM, OS X Mavericks, 17" retina display and while it's been great upon first booting up after I transferred over my music and books and docs from my old mac (about 150 gb worth (so I still have over 300 gb free on the new one)) I've seen a massive slow down and it's started giving me the beach ball of death which was the main reason I got a new macbook as my old one was beach balling so much it was nearly unusable. Very upset that this brand new stupidly expensive computer is already doing this. Any advice is apppreciated.

    Either your RAM is no good, of poor quality, the wrong specs or it's not installed correctly or it got subjected to static electricity when you put it in.
    Best Buy isn't as Mac centric, thus the quality of RAM that Mac's require may not be there.
    You should have purchased from Crucial.com or Other World Computing or similar that tests the RAM to make sure it works the first time you put it in, as it costs everyone money to ship bad RAM back and forth.
    I put in 16GB a couple of days ago, took five minutes and it works perfectly.
    Nothing like top tier RAM for a top of the line machine, especially with all those tiny, easy to lose screws Apple uses.

  • I messed up badly by trying to restore my brand new macbook pro by doing restart then command R and choose disc utility repair now when I start ,all I get is the white screen with a folder and a question mark,What can I do???help please

    Can you still boot to the Recovery partition using Command and R whilst booting? Or did you wipe the Recovery partition as well?
    If your Recovery partition is still intact, you can simply boot to it and reinstall the OS via the Internet. If you wiped the Recovery partition, you can hold down Command, option and R keys whilst booting and boot into true Internet Recovery mode. You'll be able to reformat the hard drive, erasing all partitions (format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a dingle GUID partition) and then reinstall the OS that shipped with your machine.
    Note that you should use a physical Ethernet connection when restoring over the Internet - it's three times slower if you use wifi.
    Try your Recovery partition first and if that doesn't work, use Internet Recovery.

  • Brand new MacBook + Boot Camp = Totally eratic, slow, unusable track pad!

    I see the long thread below but wanted to report what's happening with the new multitouch one button trackpad on the brand new MacBooks.
    It is unusable in Windows under Boot Camp.
    It behaves in completely erratic ways. You can't select any text - drag over some and it won't stay selected when you unclick. There's out of control scrolling when you're inside little windows like start menu options, making it impossible to click on settings. There are weird delays with clicking generally, sporadic 2 or 3 second delays. There are control issues, sometimes the pointer just jumps around uncontrollably.
    This isn't about fancy stuff like right-click or page scroll not working. This is about core required point and click type stuff that you simply can't do without a mouse or a very incredible amount of patience. It's useless.
    I bought the MacBook because it can run Windows, which I need sometimes. If there is no resolution I will definitely need to return it.
    I'd add I have zero issues with the trackpad under Leopard, it works perfectly.

    Hi Velasquez.j,
    Thanks for the tip about the 3-finger right-click, and turning down the scroll lines. I'm running XP on the new MBP 2.53GHz. These 2 tips worked for me. Scrolling is better, though still not perfect. The right-click was driving me crazy that I couldnt do it! The 3-fingers seems to work - but not 100% - it still misses sometimes, but it's better than not working at all.
    I'm not surprised the trackpad is erratic in general though. My previous machine was a late-2006 MBP and sometimes the trackpad pointer would jump all over the place, "jiggle" in place, and other wierdness like that, under XP. I am pretty happy with bootcamp in general, but I really wish Apple would make the effort to ensure that the trackpads work CORRECTLY under Windows. Right now they seem content with a bare half-baked minimum. Sorry, but it's not good enough.
    For now, if you want to avoid pulling your hair out, it seems a mouse is pretty much a requirement for using Boot Camp on a portable

  • Wireless slow on brand new Macbook

    I have a brand new MB 2.2 and the wireless is horrible. I have tried a Linksys and Netgear router and the connection is worse then dial-up. I have a Vista laptop also and it works great on both of these routers. I also live in a apartment building and have access to other open routers including Apple Airports and the are slow also.
    I have been reading the boards and the problem seems to be all over the map. I have tried every fix possible that I could find to try and speed things up, and none of them work.
    I am at the point where I want to return the laptop as there seems to be no fix for this. If I wanted to return the laptop that I bought at a Apple store, will they still charge me the restocking fee? Any help would be appreciated.

    I am having the exact same problem with my BRAND NEW MacBook. I have all of the updates installed and I still have this problem. I will look at the AirPort status in the menu bar and it will have all but one "bar/arc" and my download speeds are painfully slow. I have performed a ping (both outside my local network and to my local gateway) and I get 60% or more packet loss. If I reboot the computer, the download speeds are good but after a little while they crap out again. My wife has the 1st generation MacBook running Tiger and she has absolutely no problems whatsoever. It wasn't like this when I first got the computer and had just 10.5 installed. I don't even believe that I had the problem when I installed the 10.5.1 update. It seems to have reared its ugly head with the 10.5.2 update but I can't be 100% sure. Tonight, I plan on zapping the PRAM and running the disk repair utility but I don't feel too confident that it will help. My next step will be to head to my "local" Apple Store (about 1.5 hours away) and see what a Genius says about it.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Does anybody have a grand solution that will fix this problem?
    Thanks to all for reading.

  • ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?

    Hi all,
    I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
    I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
    Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
    So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Brand new macbook won't start up.  Help.

    I recently received a brand new macbook as a graduation gift about 3 weeks ago. All has been absolutely fine until yesterday. I checked my email in the morning, closed the macbook and left for work. When I came home, I opened the macbook and pushed the power button. The screen flashed for a split second and remained black. No start up sound. The power light is on, battery light on the bottom says it's fully charged. When it's plugged in, the charging light is orange. Otherwise, no signs of life. I have an appointment tomorrow to meet with someone at the macstore, but I'm impatient and highly stressed and wonder what the problem is and what will be done about it.
    Thanks.

  • I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
    What can I do ..??

  • Brand new MacBook Pro updated to Lion now it is so slow

    Hi Everyone,
    I have just purchased a brand new MacBook Pro, upon setting it up it promted me to update software which I did so it's currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. My server provider is Optus and I live in the heart of Sydney.
    I am new to the world of Mac's so don't really know wether my problem is opertator caused or not...How ever I currently have such slow internet I am unable to even watch you tube videos. It takes over a minute just to load pages and I am feeling a huge amount of frustration as I have a brand new computer and am on an expensive all inclusive package by one of the most recognised providers in Australia yet am getting rediculously slow internet.
    Can anyone suggest what the cause of this may be and and changes I should make.
    Thanks

    Have you installed any programs since you got the Mac? Also look to the right of the page and you'll see a list of posts under 'More Like This'. Have a read trough them to se if you can find solutions on issues similar to yours.

  • Brand new macbook- cant connect to internet. Please help!

    Hi everyone, brand new macbook. i connected the ethernet and its giving me all these problems and will not connect to the internet. I tried to just let it configure automatically but even that doesnt work.
    I have ethernet via time warner cable btw.
    please help!
    thank u!

    Here is how to do a power cycle or what is called a reset.
    Plug in your mac to your modem
    Un plug the power cord to your modem
    Wait 5 seconds, then plug the power cord back in
    Give a minute or so to reboot and re-config its settings
    Try clicking on safari and connecting to the internet
    This should work, if not use the mac internet connect wizard to try and fix the problem.
    If both of those solutions do not work then post back here.

  • No video mirroring AppleTV ver 2 or 3 from new Macbook Air (very latest)

    I have both a 2nd gen and 3rd gen apple TV and a brand new Macbook Air with Mountain Lion plus all updates installed on all devices. I can see both Apple TVs in myAirplay menu and can select either one. In both cases the sound works but the TV video goes blank and then later returns to the screensaver while the sound continues to stream. I have tried every possible resolution setting and nothing seems to work. The Apple TVs have hardwired ethernet and the Macbook Air is using wireless through my Airport Extreme (less than six months old).
    Any ideas on what the problem is or how to resolve?

    I'm in a similar boat to you, wondering whether I should replace my 2006 MBP 2.4 C2D 4Gb/160Gb with the top spec 13" MBA, or wait unti the next MBP refresh at the end of the year / begining of 2012.
    FWIW, I think for your needs a MBA would probably do the job quite admirably... it should be able to handle rippng and Handbrake with no problems (faster than your current set up, but not as fast as a MBP).
    I guess the real test is how well it can handle HD editing. I'm sure it will be fine for the occasional use, but then again a MBP would be better.
    Personally though, I think you'd probably get more use and life out of a MBP. Mine is still going strong and it is more than adequate for my daily uses, but it's time for a change anyway.
