Try resetting SMC.
If resetting SMC does not help, you may have to contact Apple to gave the power system checked out.

Sorry for my englishPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...
Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

On the bottom of your MBP there is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the results:

Here is a trouble shooting guide. The usual reasons for slow performance are the HDD or third party applications. Boot into the recovery partition and run Disk Utility>First Aid.

Down load Etrecheck and post the results:

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

There I go first mistake straight off. I was wondering how to fit my big long problem in. My fault I am sure but if anyone can help please.
Early 2008 Mac Pro Desk Top, 2 hard drives 1)snow leopard, 2)lion.
I have downloaded Mountain Lion usuing disk 1,selected no.2 as my destination, installed ok everything fine, set my startup as no.2 in preferences, switch off. Next day start up - nothing, my only way to get moving was physcally remove disk 2, and let snow leopard restart.
Reinstalled, everything fine, then same problem on restart next day, remove disk,and so on.
The mountain Lion installer remains in the snow leopard dock.
I know the problem is me, so if anyone is kind enough to be able to offer a solution it needs to be in easy speak (press button a, press button b) because I am not that savvy.
my best regards to all, and thank you.Where did you get Mountain Lion? Did you download the 4+ GB file from the App Store? If so, then I would try doing the following:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your second drive on which Lion is installed (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Install Mountain Lion
Double-click on the Mountain Lion Installer application in your Applications folder. Follow instructions to install Mountain Lion on your old Lion drive - Drive 2. When the installer finally finishes it will restart the computer automatically from Drive 2. At this point there is no need to change the Startup Disk unless you want to boot from your Snow Leopard drive.
You will startup to the Setup Assistant in which you will configure your own admin account. You can, if you want, omit that part and instead choose to migrate your Home folder and other data from the Snow Leopard drive. I would recommend you do that unless you wish to do it manually at a later time. In this case create your new admin account using the exact same username and password that you now use on your Snow Leopard system. -

Mac Pro with OS mountain lion working very slow
I have a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.2. the mac is working very slow. It takes a lot of time to boot. Much longer than windows PC. Applications are also running very slow. How to speed up the mac and improve its performance? Plz help!!!
We're a workstation/tower forum.
Having more RAM has little or diminishing affect unless you are runnning apps that need and can use it (graphics being one, such as CS5 and later).
Many laptop owners and desktop like SSD for shorter boot (Mac always boots fast, quicker than Windows, use both).
If it were me I would
Backup of coure, TimeMachine and maybe one other method or set is useful, then do a clean install and reload the OS and let it do all the updates.
Most of the time after a lot of digging around and questions and answers, it gets down to "Did you install xyz" and a list of 3rd party programs, drivers and apps that you added that aren't part of the core OS or from Apple. Whether Norton (notorious) or some "cleaner" program or even something you need but which may not be compatible with or needed with OS X and Mountain Lion.
You can also set aside 100GB and run Windows natively as well as a guest VM OS.
Along with monitoring RAM, disk activity, I've seen RAM DIMMs that were 'loose' or not fully seated - even though Lion OS ran well the second that they tried to install Windows 7 on their MacBook Pro it had errors and could not complete. They had upgraded the RAM on their own. Just odd that OS X was that immune and insensitive.
But this is best off where others with the very same topic can be found in Mountain Lion and MacBook Pro forums. (we get way too many MBP in Mac Tower Pro) MacBook Pro

Since the time i have installed lion my mac book pro is working very slow
its been couple of months since i installed lion, after that my pro is working very slow .
would want to knw what to check ??I don't really understand why Lion slows down computers, but it obviously does. What worked for me is upgrading my memory from 2GB to 4GB. Also, check your hard drive space. If it is close to full, try upgrading your hard disk to a better model.
If neither of those work, you might have to do a clean reinstall of Lion. This involves cleaning out all your data and reinstalling your OS.
Cache-file cleaners like SpeedUp Mac ($29.99) can help a lot if Lion was pre-installed on your Mac, but if you installed Lion manually, they don't really do much.
Tip: NEVER try MacKeeper to make your Mac "faster": I had the misfortune of it wiping out all my data (movies, music, photos, iMovie projects, iPhoto photo books and faces, etc.)

Working very slow on internet. Yet without internet shows normal speed.
I am using Window 7. I have very serious problem with speed in firefox when connected with internet. It works very slow. When I tested without internet it was working normal. I have tried various anti-virus tools and adware removal softwares. I also contacted with internet service provider. But when I test internet speed it shows around 2 MB or enough desired speed.
I also replaced my hard drive in the doubt of any damage. I am using dell-3500 laptop with intel i3 core processor (32 bit OS) Surprisingly when I uninstall and re-install firefox browser it shows always previously installed adons and setting looking like using old settings. Sometime but not always it also shows the popup like : "some type of script is running . do you want to debug or stop".
Now going to be very frustrated not able to detect exact issue of slowing down of browser. Sometime so slow that if I scroll down with mouse it jerk and take few seconds to shift only one inch downward and when I open new tab it takes 20-30 sec to open new web page. I am looking for any help.Is this with all pages?
