I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one. I've been using the old one mostly for iTunes, into which I have only CD entries. For a long time, years, the old MacBook pro ceased entering the song titles. This is very time consuming for me, so I finally investigated a bit further.
I discovered how to enter the track titles onto my newer MacBook Pro, and was so pleased! But when I tried to do the same with the other laptop, it failed.
What I did, basically, was what the Apple Help suggested--choose iTunes General Preferences, etc.etc. And yes, I did upgrade the old laptop to the newest iTunes version.
Am I just wasting my time here? Is there some reason why an older Mac Pro will not do what the newer one will, with regard to iTunes?
My older laptop is a 2.6 GHz Core Duo; it has 36 GB of "memory available." The newer one a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. It has 284 GB of memory available.
Both are using the same version of Snow Leopard--10.6.8.I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one.

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

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.

Lion runs very slow on a fast MacBook Pro, why?
I have Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, I used to have Snow Leopard and it was VERY fast. I bought Lion about 3 months after its release date. I like it but, all the aplications run REALLY slow! On Snow Leopard, my computer would boot up within 30 seconds but after I got Lion it at least takes a minute to boot up. I also keep seeing the beachball every now and then, and when I look at my ram usage, it's normal. Safari takes for ever to launch, but after its on I have no problem at all. Another wierd thing is that when I am on youtube, Safari itself uses 1.5gb of ram. I don't know if this has anything to do with Lion but when I was a Snow Leopard user my battery health would stay between 95% and 100% but since I have Lion, it "jumps' around. I goes to any random number between 80 and 100. An hour ago it 90% and right now its 82%, tomorrow it will be something like 85%. I've not changed the way I charge and use my battery. Does Lion use more battery?
Oh, and I forgot to add the specs. I have 4gb of Memory/Ram. The processor is a 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's a 13" MacBook Pro.

Garageband running very slow on my new Macbook Pro
I have just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro - base model - and Garageband is running very slow. I've added nothing else to my Macbook yet......
Any advice would be much appreciated!CraigieMann wrote:
I've looked for the update and I have the latest version. When I tried to repair permissions it wouldn't let me as it said all permissions were OK when I verified the disc....
Your computer is farrrrr more powerful than what you're describing, so something is definitely amiss.
Are you saying in Disk Utility, you are unable to click "Repair Disk Permissions?" Does your user identity have admin privileges? I'm not sure if that's a requirement to be able to repair disk permissions or not, but the ability to repair disk permissions should always be available to you.
Another thing you could try in terms of troubleshooting is to go into system preferences -> accounts, and create a new account. It can be a temporary one just to test this. Then, in the new account, you could see if you have the same problems. You could always delete the account after the test.
You could also try recording to an external drive. A firewire drive would work best (recording to external firewire drives generally improves performance) and would rule out the internal drive as the culprit.
If you are still having problems, you could always call AppleCare, which can walk you through a hardware test, or bring the computer into an Apple store to have them check out, in case there's something wrong with the computer itself. -

Very Slow Wireless on New MacBook Pro
Hi just bought a 13' MacBook pro about a week ago. Immediatley from getting it my wireless internet is very slow. We have a few other pc's in the house that use the same router and they all run fine on the wireless, even our phones run great. When I am plugged in with the ethernet cable the internet seems to work fine but as soon as I am wireless it takes forever. Pages will take minutes to load up. I was on the phone with mac support and what they did didn't seem to fix the problem. I am getting so frustrated and would really like any help. Thank you.
In the Belkin config, have you got 'Protected Mode' On or Off? (Wireless > Channel and SSID > Protected Mode) It's generally faster Off unless a lot of 802.11b devices on your network.
Packet loss or packet re-ordering might cause that drop, as might a high MTU value, but it's hard to troubleshoot ...
(I'm using a Belkin G+MIMO and getting as fast/same performance as hard wired machines) -
Very slow restoring volume on MacBook Pro
I had my external USB 2.0 drive plugged in to the USB port on the right side of my MacBook Pro (1,1) and the estimated time for completion for a full Time Machine restore was about 25 hours. Needless to say I quit and shutdown my MacBook Pro, I plugged my external drive into a powered USB 2.0 hub and attached the hub to the USB port on the left side, rebooted and now the restore is going to take about 2 hours. That's way better...
I thought that both ports on the MacBook Pro where high-speed 2.0 ports. I guess not. From prior experience trying to sync my iPod with this MacBook Pro, I didn'ttry the left port by itself.
A couple of notes for those restoring on a MacBook Pro:
- When it was restoring at the slow speed I first clicked the Stop button, it asked for confirmation, I said yes and then it disabled (grayed out) the Stop button, but the restore was still in progress. I waited a long time for it to gracefully stop, but it never did. Instead I Quit the Mac OS X Installer.
- Before starting the restore again I used System Profiler in the Utilities menu of the Mac OS X Installer, to make sure that the drive was in fact connected to a high-speed USB 2.0 port. It was, so I used the Restore System From Backup command to start the restore.
I hope this is helpful to someone.I find the volume to be very unsatisfactory, at least on my 13" Early 2011 model. The sound is very weak (with the exception of when using quality headphones).

I purchased both 27" iMac and MacBook Pro on March 2012 wth Lion OS installed. I just upgraded to the OS X Mountain Lion for my iMac and was wondering whether I have to pay again for the upgrade for my MBP?
no you do not need to purchase it again. You can install it on multiple macs you own. Sign in to the app store with the apple id used to purchase ML on the mac(s) you wish to install it on. Hold down the option key and click on the purchases tab and click "download" next to ML.

Very Serious Issue for all Macbook Pro Users Regarding Reinstalls, Backups
If you boot from your original install DVD, and choose to re-partition your internal HD, it may result in having a disk that will not be bootable, and the install program will refuse to proceed. This means you WILL NOT be able to install OS X on your Macbook Pro!
The problem is that the partition scheme MUST be 'GUID partition' in order for an intel mac to boot on, and it is 'fdisk' instead.
The solution given by apple support is the following : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303220-en
Unfortunately, the disk utility on your install DVD disables the "option" button that offers the option "GUID partition" : this option is only available for external disks !Was there a reason you wanted to partition your HD?
