Internet on my MacBook is so slow - Help Please!!
Basically I have a MacBook, about a year and a half old, runs on Tiger, all the latest updates on software etc etc. However my internet connection when on my Mac is very very slow (took over an hour to download an album from iTunes the other day). This can be intermittent and sometimes it speeds up every so often but only for an hour or so. The guy who set up our internet (long story but we are out of range of normal broadband so we receive a radio signal at top of our hill then is relayed to the house) tested the speed and it's in top 3% in country and 5% in the world. Also my Dad's iMac and my Mum's Macbook work on the same network and run much faster than mine so I don't believe there to be any problem with the actual internet connection itself.
I use Firefox but have also tested Safari, and they both run very slowly. I downloaded OnyX in hope that this might help me, ran all the clean ups etc and freed up about 30GB of space on my hard drive. However, this doesn't seem to have helped either.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me any advice on what to do or any particular programs which would help out my situation.
Thanks very much,
Nick
Also if this helps, as mentioned in my previous message, I experience periods when the internet speed picks up again to it's original pace. However, what is interesting is that this consistently happens every night between 11 and sometime before 7am. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, my Macbook pro has been extremely slow lately. I can't have more than a couple applications open, without it being extremely slow and not functional. Here's an etrechek that I did:

If you have never done a clean install consider doing one. Backup, clone, setup a USB installer and wipe the system. Or wait for the new internal 500GB drive (so you are back to using about 50%) to do a clean install and run Setup Assistant. You would be surprised how even just that can feel and run.
RAM is pretty much a given so when you do, look at putting a 500GB SSD in there as well. -
Problems with Ricoh Aficio SP C240 SF- message tells me "filter quit unexpectedly" - running 10.9.3 on MacBook Air - can anybody help please?
Steve --
You have made an extra folder called "Internets" and put the Safari app in there. It (and all other apps) need to be freestanding (not enclosed in another folder) in the HD > Applications folder.
Because it's in this folder, it has not properly updated. Running 10.8.2 OS, you should be up to 6.0 Safari. But because it's in a folder, it's still way back there. -

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?
Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.

I am having difficulty getting my scanner (HP5590 Scanjet) working with my MacBook Pro, can anyone help please. It did work alright with my IBM notebook.
There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)

Very poorly MacBook Pro, Can you help please?
I have recently ungrade my Macbook pro to OS Lion (about 3 weeks ago) it has been running with no problems. Two days ago it started running very slow, slow to start up (up to 14 mins!) and slow to load app and web pages. I checked CPU useage and mdworker was using lots of power. On the advice I found somewhere on here I made another user and deleted the previous one and all seemed to be ok for a few hours. However the MacBook started to slow up again, although the CPU seemed to be ok this time. I made a USB Lion recovery disc as per the apple support and verified the disc (and repaired it too just in case) all was ok and it reported no problems... Macbook still very poorly however so I thought maybe reinstalling OS Lion and starting again might solve the problem... But now it's stuck on the apple start up screen with the spinning wheel, running the fan and getting very hot. I have turned it off and periodicaly back on again to see if it will sort itself out :-(
Any help advice on what to do next greatly appreicated.
Many thanksIf you're selling or giving away the computer, throw any files which may contain sensitive data in the Trash and securely empty it.
Restart from the computer's original disks(or the recovery partition if it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer), use the Disk Utility to erase the drive, and install a new OS.

MacBook very VERY slow - help plz!
Hi, woke up this morning and my MacBook (early 2009 revision) is running horribly slowly. In fact its hardly workable at all it is so slow.
I have tried it all
- start in safe mode
- resetting pram
- aplle+s then fsck - fy ; reboot
but nothing works. it is SO SLOW!!!
It would be nice to know if this is hardward-based or not.
Is there anything else I can try before doing the full reinstall?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thxs,If the previous idea did not help, then you need to backup your files, erase the drive, then reinstall Mountain Lion. Unless I misunderstood your reply. I understood you to say the computer was still running slow.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

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. ThanksIt 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. -
Problem with macbook connecting to wireless: help please
thanks for reading this thread.
i have a linksys WRT54G2 router connected straight from the ethernet port of a cable internet connection. it's been working fine for the past month or two for both me (using macbook 10.5.6), my flatmate (running vista pc) and my girlfriend also running a macbook.
but, the last few days i've been having problems getting connected. which are:
not connecting to wireless network automatically, and asking for password which is already remembered in keychain
getting connection timeout when trying to connect
getting invalid password, even though password is correct
websites taking around 2 mins to load when connection is eventually made
the internet is working fine on both my flatmates and girlfriends computers, but jut doesn't seem to like mine. heres what i've done already:
restored router to factory settings and updated with latest firmware
cleared all known wireless networks within network preferences
tried both firefox and safari
accessed router using IP address and loaded pages instantly
works fine connected to router with an ethernet cable
the only thing i havn't tried is a different wireless network, which i'm going to try tomorrow when i go into university.
has anyone any idea what the problem may be? like i said, its been working fine for the past 2 months but has just decided it doesn't like my macbook.
any help or suggestions would be great, thanks alotI had the same problem as you. It all started when all of a sudden my macbook wouldnt automatically join my home wifi that is usually does. I ignored this issue because it still worked, and this persisted for a few months. After a while, the situation got worse and after waking up from sleep, my wifi signal would go strong at first, then weaken until it kicks me off, and i no longer could reconnect as I would get a connection timeout error. I just went to the apple store and they replaced the airport card for free for me.
So basically your airport card is slowly dieing, replacement is inevitable. -
Can't log into my XP machine from MacBook Pro using GoToMyPC - Help Please?
I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" and am having trouble logging into the the computer at my office (Dell Machine XP Pro). I've used the service for quite some time now so it's not that I am new to the web based service.
Here's what happens:
I sign into my account at the GoToMyPC.com website with my username & password without problem. The website shows that my Dell machine is "on line" as normal. When I click onthe Connect button, the the Safari window resizes (universal viewer?) and looks like it starts to load. However, within a few seconds, I get the spinning beachball of death. I've tried to let it sit there for as long as 10 minutes with no change. I have to force quick Safari because it's "not responding"
Here's what I think I know and the steps I've taken thus far...
I know that the service is working because I am able to log in from my wife's laptop ( HP - Windows XP home) from the same home wireless network that MacBook is connected to. That also rules out (I think??!!) any issues with the wireless network in my home.
I don't believe that there is any inherrent problem using a Mac to log in using the GoToMyPC service since I tried it on several different computers in the Apple Store without any issues whatsoever.
I talked with GoToMyPC tech support and they they it seems like a Java problem. However, it seems that I have the latest Java plug-ins in my Applications/Utilities/Java folder (1.3.1 & 1.4.2). Other than that suggestion they weren't much help.
I called AppleCare and they had me set up a test user account with no other changes to settings, etc... No help. They then had me re-install the OS from the original discs. No Help and know I have a folder called "previous systems" on my HD taking up 10 Gig. Can I just delete this folder or have I now opened up another can or worms?
I've poked around the security settings in the system prefs panel - but nothing juped out at me as a pssible soltion so I didn't change anything.
I'm at my wits end - I need this to work and can't figure out why it isn't.
Anybody got any ideas???
MacBook Pro 17" - 2 Gig Ram - 120 Gig HD Mac OS X (10.4.6) OS 10.4.7 on the "previous system"Glad to hear that you found it.
Unfortunately, when we try to help folks...we usually stumble around for ideas, especially when we don't have the "whole picture". Your router/modem security setup was the wild card.
In your case, it was particularly odd that wife's PC could get out to Citrix through the router's firewall, but Mac couldn't.
But I'd be willing to bet that there's a FAQ section at GoToMyPC, that will explain this for you. But when you're up to your ears in alligators...well you know the rest
(Do you have a firewall running on both the Motorola and on the wireless router? Or don't you have a router, as such, and the network is provided using just the Motorola? Something to think about. Two firewalls are not necessarily better than one).
no reply needed...just glad you're "in". -
The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Burning software on Macbook Pro -- easy question, help please!
Hi,
sorry to sound like a bit of a retard....
I am about to get a Macbook Pro (I am a mac virgin, switching from PC) and i was just wondering if Macbook Pro comes with a burning program included? and if so, what it is called?
Thanks very much,
AniYes, the MacBook Pro comes with a program called "Disk Utility". It can burn CDs and DVDs. You can do it also via the Finder, the Mac OS X "explorer" - in Windows world it's called Windows Explorer.
Don't forget you can also install Windows on your MacBook Pro, and use PC burning software.
Hope this helps.
