Having issues with 13" MacBook Pro. Running very slow and blank screen and sleep mode.

Bought my MBPro summer 2009. About a month / 6 weeks ago it began to run extremely slow at points. Now it is running poorly and getting very slow on a daily basis, to the point where it will not open applications, documents or even web pages for in excess of 5 minutes. I'm beginning to lose patience!
Also at the exact same time of these performance issues occuring, my MacBook Pro will not awaken from sleep mode when the lid is closed. Showing a blank dark screen and having to hard reset in order to boot up my system again and get it running.
What is the best solution in order to resolve these issues?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Did you run Disk Utility>First Aid?  If so what were the results?  This is a copy of mine, note that the bottom line says:  The partition map appears to be OK:
Ciao.

  • I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

    I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

    I’ve tried running 10.10 on quite a few different computers with 4GB of RAM and a standard mechanical hard drive and all of them performed worse with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks (10.9). And about a year ago I found that they performed better with Mt Lion (10.8) than Mavericks. Each version of the Mac OS has required more memory than the version that came before it and that means that every couple of years the minimum acceptable RAM is increased. Apple signaled this quietly at the Apple Store - only one computer now ships with 4GB of RAM. (And I can tell you from personal experience that in that configuration it is not fun to use.)
    Bottom line: you need at least 8GB of RAM or an SSD. Both are better. In the meantime run as lean a machine as possible. MacKeeper is a waste of money no matter what anyone might tell you. At best it is not necessary and is a waste of money.

  • 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.
    Cheers

  • Macbook Pro running very slow and keep getting rainbow wheel

    Dear Friends of the Forum,
    I have Macbook pro mid 2010, and I'm having some issues. The computer is running quite slow when opening any program and the rainbow wheel comes up. Further, the even when trying to click on the commands, the rainbow wheel appears again and I have had to re start the computer a couple of times.
    I started the computer in safe mode and it is running a bit better, but decided to run an EtreCheck. I will share the report with the forum, as I do not have the technical knowledge to completely understand it.
    I would be most appreciative if you could look at it and let me know your thoughts and recommendations.
    Best,
    OA

    I see that you don't have Time Machine configured, before you do anything you need to make a full backup onto an external hard drive.
    Restart while holding Command R and choose Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Run repair as many time as it takes to report that no more errors were found, it will probably take two or three attempts.

  • MacBook Pro run very slow when open Contacts

    My MacBook Pro (earlie 2011) run very slow. When open Contacs show the color ball. I can't see duplicates contacs.

    Back up all data.
    1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click  Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
    2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
    Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
    3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
    A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
    4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
    5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
    Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

  • My macbook pro running very slow

    Hello,
    Looking for help with my very slow running laptop. I ran an EtreCheck and can provide a full report. I ran Disk Utility, repaired permissions, slimmed down my Download folder, deleted a program recently installed - Kies, to link with my Android phone. I also have an iMac running 10.9.5.
    Thanks for helping out... and Happy New Year to you all!

    @dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that?  I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
    Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
    Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under
    Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
    were somehow the same, after I released everything I didnt have to press power button separately (step5), the mac started already (after step4)
    @Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
    1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
    2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
    besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:

  • Anyone having issues with their MacBook Pro Retina losing network connections?

    I have been having a problem in which my internet connection, which will be working normally prior to closing the Mac, will not reconnect after it's woken up.  I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection.  I noticed the most recent update for Mountain Lion also included some mention of a specific patch for Macbook Pro Retina's.  Does anyone know of a documented issue?

    Some recent updates from Apple might affect your problem, but I can't be sure.  How long have you been having the problem?
    I have to go so far as to reset my Time Machine AND Macbook to restore the connection.
    Don't confuse "Time Capsule", an Apple Wi-Fi base station, with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5.  Your problem involves the former, not the latter.

  • MacBook Pro running very slow over 1 hour to boot up

    I was out of the country on a trip and my daughter's MBP (15" early 2011) refused to boot. It was stuck on the gray screen with the rotating gear. She made an appointment at the genius bar and they told her basically the computer was dead in the water due to a crashed hard drive and she should contact a data recovery service to recover her personal data then come back and they will install a new hgard drive and get her up and running. After I returned I removed the hard drive and took it to the IT department at my company. A tech there was able to access the drive via a USB/SATA cable and  copy the contents to an external hard drive. He ran HD Tune on the drive and found no errors. I re-nstalled the drive and it still had the same problem. I am more of a Windows guy myself so I'm not 100% confident of my Mac/OSX skills. Obviously the genius at the genius bar wasn't exactly right since as you will see if he simply tried a safe boot he would have been able to gain access to the computer. But following is what I have already done.
    1). I was able to boot into safe boot mode(Shift key during boot process). Under Safe mode I was able to log in under a Guest account. I could not successfully log in under her user account. Under the Guest Account I ran Disk utility and verified and reset preferences as I read somewhere this could be an issue. It found many issues (I would guess around 100). I also ran the verify disk and disk repair (or wahatever it is called). Disk Utility informed my that I had to reboot into repair mode (Command & R) and run DIsk Utility in that mode.
    2). Rebooted into Repair Mode (Command & R). It took a while for the spinning globe to get rid of the triangle with the exclamation point but eventually I was in the Internet Repair Feature (Or whatever it is called). I ran Disk Utility and did a repair. It found system file errors and reported back that they were repaired. Wihile in Repair mode I looked under the "restore" tab and noticed that OSX Lion was shown. But in the computer's "About this Mac" it shows OSX 10.9. My daughter confirmed that she had previously updated the OS twice via the App Store so I guess that is why Lion shows under the restore tab.
    3). I did a reboot to reset PRAM/NVRAM hoping that would assist as well as I had seen some entries that this was a good thing to do with very slow response problems.
    4). I rebooted and waited. After about 20 minutes the log in screen came up and I log in under her user account. About 30 minutes later most of the desktop had loaded. About an hour and a half into the boot I was able to navigate the desktop but the was at least a 2 second delay between clicking on something and it acting. Often I had the spinning "rainbow wheel", "beach ball", "umbrella" or whatever your preference is.
    So bottom line is I am no longer stuck on the gray screen but the computer is totally unusable. I'm not sure what my next step should be. SHould I restore the OS to Lion via the Command & R procedure? If I do that then will she be able to reload 10.9 Mavericks again via download?
    If she has a friend with a MBP already running Mavericks can she make a USB boot drive on that machine to repair/replace her existing OSX installation?
    Should I just reformat the hard drive and start fresh since something isn't making the MBR happy?
    Also under disk utility the SMART report shows the drive as healthy.
    Here are the basic specs of the machine as is:
    OSX 10.9 (13A603)
    8GB Ram 1333 NHz DDR3
    Hard Drive: 499Gb total/263GB available
    Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

    LPBassman,
    since the tech in your IT department was able to copy your daughter’s data from her MacBook Pro’s internal disk, I’d suggest completely erasing the internal disk (using Disk Utility in Recovery mode, reformatting it with a “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” filesystem), reïnstalling its original version of Mac OS X (either Snow Leopard from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD if it originally came with two grey DVDs, or Lion via OS X Internet Recovery if no grey DVDs originally came with it), running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8 or 10.7.5 respectively, reïnstalling Mavericks, running Software Update again to get it up to date, and finally restoring your daughter’s data.

  • Macbook Pro running VERY slow- spinning wheel of death

    My 4 year old MacBook Pro has been running very very slow for quite some time and I'm fed up enough to ask for some suggestions.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

  • 15" Macbook Pro running very slow: Beach ball of death

    Hey guys, well i have a 15" macbook pro from 2007 and recently it's been very very slow. Before last night, it ran fine, and had its moments, but right now, i get the beach ball about every few minutes. Don't know what it is, help please! Running 10.6, not sure if it's the hard drive or maybe i just need to update?? Also maybe overheating??  I'm not that tech savy, so make it as simple as possible please:) Thanks

    Well, you are stuck then. I think more RAM will help depending on what you do with your Mac. I have 4GB installed.
    Here's a Spinning Beachball faq. But you'll need a repair disk, most likely, to get anywhere. The Snow Leopard disk is fairly cheap at Apple Phone Sales.
    What I use....
    If you don't have Disk Utility's Disk Repair you'll need a more robust utility to repair it.
    I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.  It also has File System repair now and hard drive S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics.
    Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way. But sometimes a badly damaged system can be deemed unrepairable by the installed version, but if booted and repaired from the DW disk it may be repairable. This has happened to me.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. It has repaired every little and big issue I have ever had with my  three Macs.
    If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
    Good Luck!  DALE

  • Macbook Pro running very slowly, randomly shutting off and overheating. No idea what the problem is! Please help!

    I got macbook pro about a year and a half ago and up until now it has been running fine.
    However, in the last few days, it has been started to run tediously slowly!
    It wont allow me to open applications and i have to force quit out of any applications I finally manage to have because they freeze or stop responding.
    On Google Chrome, pages become unresponsive every few minutes.
    Even writing this post took more than 20 minutes as the laptop kept freezing and the webpage became unresponsive.
    It also randomly shuts off and when it restarts, a message comes up saying my Macbook was restarted because of an error.
    I haven't downloaded or updated anything that I know of recently that would have caused this.
    Ive been reading through some of the fourms on this and I thought it'd be helpfull to post some of the information you may need to help me solve this problem!
    Id be very gratefull if any of you could help! Thanks!

    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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
    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, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or 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.
