  • Slow Macbook pro. Can anyone help please?

    Hi Everyone.
    This is my first time here, so please go easy on me.
    I have a slow Macbook Pro. No idea why so I googled it and google suggested I get these details via Etresoft.
    Can anyone suggest why this machine is so slow after seeing this?
    Cheers

  • Macbook Pro Slow/Disk space help please

    I have mad skills in other areas, but not computer management.    Help appreciated!
    My older Macbook Pro is slowing down.   Websites are slow to load, switching from one app to another takes way too long.  I looked up reasons and low disk space seems likely.  I ran EtreSoft and got the into below.   
    My confusion:  I can't figure out what is taking up 150 gig of space.  I have tons of pics and videos, but still only 38 gig worth.  
    Any advice?   Thanks for your help!

    You did a good job outlining the potential problems, but I still have some questions:
    1. What's the size of your MB's monitor?
    2. Have you backed up your data? If not, do so.
    3. Aside from the problems you noted, have you observed any other issues?
    4. Did you check the internal cables and connectors?
    Post with your results!

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly very slow - Help please!

    Hi everyone,
    I have a 13in Macbook Pro and it has been doing well up until this week when everything I click forces me to go through the pinwheel for long amounts of time. This especially happens when minimizing, opening and closing new windows as well as using the four-finger gesture on my trackpad. I opened Activity Monitor and the CPU usage looks fine - Google Chrome is the largest %CPU used at 8%. Under "System Memory", it shows that Page outs is 507GB and Page in is 27 GB.
    Is there any other information necessary to determine what I can do to fix this?
    A quick reply would be VERY appreciated. Thanks

    It appears your MacBook Pro is suffering from a dearth of RAM for the programs you are using, but more information is required for a definitive conclusion. Read: Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used
    Google Chrome runs poorly on a Mac and may be responsible for devouring your Mac's available resources. Until Google figures out how to develop for OS X don't use it.
    To purchase memory go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options. Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. Avoid purchasing memory from PC vendors because the Mac is intolerant of memory that does not meet its stringent specifications.

  • Macbook Pro - Lion - Snow Leopard - help please!

    Hi there.
    I've just bought a second-hand Macbook Pro through ebay which has come with Lion pre-installed. I keep being prompted to do a software update but can't do this as (my understanding is) the Lion software belongs to the previous owner and not the computer itself. The apple ID associated with lion is not mine, and I do not know the previous owners password.
    I would like to do a clean install anyway to make sure I erase all the previous owners data and assumed I could do this by inserting my RETAIL copy of snow leopard (which I used to upgrade my original Macbook) into the new macbook pro, pressing C on start-up and then doing erase and install. This would then allow me to upgrade my Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion via the app store and everything would properly assign over to me, I would legitimately own the software etc etc and all would be fine.
    However, the Macbook seems to not like the Snow Leopard disc and on some further investigation it seems I can't 'downgrade' the software (even though I want to put it straight back up again). So my question is, what do I do now?! I'm assuming there is a way around this and someone helpful and clever will know what to do :-)
    Thanks in advance :-)

    As the MacBook Pro you have bought came with OS X Lion, you can't install any older operating system because its hardware is not supported. That's the reason why you can't install Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    What you have to do is to contact with Apple in order to deauthorize the Mac and all its software (OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand) from the old owner's Apple ID > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 First try to do it, and if Apple tells you that the old owner has to do it, contact with him/her.
    Near all people who sell their old Mac with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion preinstalled do the same error, and it's serious: if the hard drive gets damaged, for example, you won't be able to reinstall OS X, so you can't do anything

  • Macbook Pro weird issue need help please

    Just updated this Macbook Pro 2.16 ghz to 3 gigs ram and installed Leopard. Screen won't show at all, is all black though the machine seems to boot. The OS disc is in the optical drive, though can't boot to it nor can it be ejected.
    Strangest thing I've ever seen. Anyone have a thought on this?
    Regards
    Mike

    You might try working through the steps in this article--hopefully the resets will help:

    If the disc won't eject by normal means, here is something else to try:

  • Apple Macbook Pro Hard Drive Repair Help Please

    Cause of the mistake, i was being dumb and wanted to use my backup timemachine drive for an external drive, so I dragged the timemachine folder out of it and tried to empty the trash can, half way through I realized that it was trying to wipe my whole back up of my computer which would have been forever. So I panic, force shut off the computer, disconnect the drive and restarted the computer. My drive says 200 gb free when I know there is 400 left. So obviously the trash files are still around in my hard drive. 
    Did a disk verify and there is something wrong and the computer wants me to reboot and use repair upon rebooting the mac. I haven't done this in a while so I'm not sure if it's expecting me to have a backup from time machine.... the one i just fatally "deleted" or if it gets rid of the trashed files. Can someone help me please before I lose A LOT of work. 
    Update : And let's say I did need a back up, then if I just backed it up right now, with the missing but still taking up space files, would I still get those files in the back up or no? 

    As I understand it, you can't fix a failing SMART status. Believe me I tried on my iBook! I was originally under the impression that DiskWarrior and Tech Tool Pro could fix anything, but I now understand that they and Disk Utility can only repair the directory. As it was explained to me, SMART was set up to give warning of hard drive failure so that you could rescue your data before the hard drive dies altogether. You can disable it I think, but that's like putting black tape over the warning light in your car that lights up if you are running out of oil--possible to do, but not a good idea.
    So if your SMART status is failing, then the only cure is to replace the hard drive. The hard drive can work for a while, but it's on its way out.
    Here's a little background information on SMART status:

    And I hope this was just a rhetorical question!

  • Pair PS3 Dualshock 3 Sixaxis controller with Macbook Pro

    I have read many threads with instructions on how to pair a PS3 Dualshock 3 controller with my Macbook Pro
    I have stumbled at the same hurdle every time without success in that no matter what variation of connecting the controller with lights flashing quickly or slowly or not at all, having used a paperclip to reset the controller it never shows up in the Bluetooth preferences box it's just blank.
    I've tried two different controllers which work on my PS3 so I don't think its the controllers, I can get my iPhone to show up on the Bluetooth preferences box so the bluetooth is working.
    I'm running OS Yosemite on a 2014 Macbook Pro retina - can anyone help?

    Im having the same issue as the two above. The controller works with steam games, however is completely unresponsive to third part key mapping software, and it can't be found in the bluetooth system preferences, only under the bluetooth dropdown menu. I have not been asked to pair it, and here are the bluetooth settings showing the current state of my device. Hope this helps, and someone can help me solve the mystery as Ive already but alot of time into researching this cause to no avail.

  • PS3 bluetooth controller?

    Is there any way to get the PS3 bluetooth controller to work with this tablet? I can't seem to get it to work. USB PS1 controller works thou. I mean comon, it's SONY, it's PS3, and this is a PS certified tablet. The tablet already have a USB host and bluetooth enable so why can't I get the PS3 controller to work?

    garbage. the device after MONTHS was able to connect to a PS3 dualshock if you buy an adapter cable. LOOOOL such bull. Oh and if you are able to connect, you can't really use it to do anything since interplay with ps3, psp, or any playstation network purchases is completely impossible!
    yay for being tricked into buying a garbage tablet like myself.
    don't expect sonystyle to do right. They answer the phone but thats about it.

  • HT3887 I m not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Error is Bluetooth : Not available.

    I am not able to found Bluetooth in my Macbook Pro. Found error is Bluetooth not available. Please inform me.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Somehow, OS X doesn't detect Bluetooth in your computer. First, reset the PRAM and the SMC, and see if you can use Bluetooth then.
    If not, hold Command and R keys while your computer is starting to start in OS X Recovery, and reinstall OS X. If, after reinstalling OS X, you can't use Bluetooth, there's a hardware issue with your Mac, so take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller
