Late 2008 aluminum MacBook running extremely slow to the point where I can't open or close applications/windows. What is wrong with it?

It was working just fine. I had just downloaded a 130 mb album. A few minutes after my MacBook basically stopped working. I could not open applications or close them. I decided to restart my computer and this did not help. I am able to turn my computer on and off but that is it.

Boot in Safe Mode so you can see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
If there's less than 15% available disk space, you need to delete files to free up space. You can do that in Safe Mode.
Then click Restart from your Apple menu .

My macbook pro starting running extremely slow, to the point where it freezes every few seconds then catches up again. This happened out of the blue, didn't change anything on the computer.

I did the etre check and these were the results. I don't know if this is helpful or not.

Also, I tried booting in safe mode multiple times which did not help

Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Late 2008 aluminum Macbook Pro (15in 2.4GHz) using 8GB of RAM

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question to ask, What I'd like to know is why the Late 2008 aluminum Macbook Pro motherboard has a chipset (Nvidia) that can support up to 8GB of RAM but Apple are stating that the system can do only 4GB?
According to NVidia, The motherboard is fully capable of using 8GB of RAM but has been limited to 4GB by Apple and that this can be resolved by a simple EFI update.
The links below show a well known Apple parts dealer running tests on the system using 8GB RAM and claims that the OS X can read it perfectly but the programs will not use more then 4GB of the RAM.
I really don't understand why Apple would limit the system to use only 4GB of RAM and if Apple have any plans on releasing an EFI update.
Thanks for reading guys

Economics 101: So if you want 8GB, you have to go buy a new MBP and pay another grand for the memory. After all, they are in the hardware business, right?

Cover/Case for 13" Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook?

I have a 13" late 2008 aluminum MacBook and am trying to find a cover/case (preferably the hard shell) that will fit it. I read that they are no longer made for this model so it will be hard to find. The websites I found that offer cases for this model were not able to say that it would be a guaranteed fit. After seeing so many reviews about how they don't fit this model, I am hoping that someone on here could direct me to a website that sells ones that will for sure fit.

Go to OWC's site,
You'll see the selections on that page. Great company. No hassle returns and great support.

My new ipod touch 4g that i just got is running extremely slow and the apps crash alot. I have about 10gb left out of 16 gb. When i got it, it was brand new, and ran like how it is now. I was just wondering if this could be some sort of defect?

Which imacs and apple displays connect to late 2008 aluminum macbook 13 inch for use as external display?

I have a late 2008 13 inch aluminum macbook and want to purchase an iMac computer or apple display to use as an external display for it while I'm at my desk.
I can afford up to $700 for sure, maybe up to $1000 and would like one that has built in camera and audio if possible.
I'd like to know what my options are as it seems not all are compatible.
I'll mostly be doing web browsing and photo editing in Aperture.
Also wondering if it's possible to sync 2 computers so that when you make changes on one it reflects the changes in the other. Like you can with certain apps like Evernote.
Thank you for your help!

Yes he is right, Snow Leopard is your first step. Once you have that you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion if memory serves me correct. Some people were saying that Lion was a little sluggish with the aluminum MacBook but that Mountain Lion was great. Personally I had Lion on it also and didn't think it ran badly. 10.6 was still with Rosetta (the program that ran power pc apps) but this is dropped on 10.7 and up. Up until just the other day I still had the stock 2 gb of ram. The firmware update happens with Snow Leopard and up so it should come up as a software update. If not, it can be done manually as well. The ram I purchased was 60 bucks for the 8 gb. For Lion and Mountain Lion I have to agree with the above reply, that it would run alot better with at least 4 gb. If you run that many apps at once then you are going to want as much ram as you can get. If you add a solid state drive you will be amazed at the difference it will make too.

My Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook keeps crashing on new OS X 10.8.1

I recently upgraded my Late 2008 Macbook to Mountain lion. Since doing so, my computer is running really slow and constantly crashes. I cant have more than two programs running at the same time, otherwise the computer will freeze up and i get the "rainbow pinwheel of Death". I also experience issues with my internet crashing as well as quicktime player issues.
Please help me if you can. I am Seriusly thinking about finding a way to go back to lion, cause i never had an issue before!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Mountain Lion. There's a Mountain Lion Support Community where everybody has Mountain Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mountain_lion

Macbook running extremely slow

Hi,
I have a 2012 Macbook Pro. I believe the model is a Macbook Pro 9.2. I am running Yosemite and increased my RAM from 4 GB to 8GB a month ago. Up until yesterday afternoon it was running completely fine. Now it is extremely slow. For starters it takes a good 2 minutes to boot up and even once it is booted up it takes another two minutes before it will open any programs or applications. I have plenty of hard drive space available (over 300 GB) and when I check the Activity monitor there does not seem to be any programs using up more CPU or RAM than I would expect. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is, or how I should proceed with troubleshooting from hear on out?in advance.
Thanks for any help

My computer is running extremely slow, especially the internet. I don't know why, but I need it fixed. Help?

Okay, I have restarted and shut down my computer to help it act right. I have reset safari, deleted my history, everything and it is still running slow! I have full bars of the internet as well, so I don't understand why it is running so slow. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Go step by step and test.
1. Power cycle
     Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
     Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly.
     It will take a   while.
     Restart the computer.
     Start up in Safe Mode

My macbook won't turn on, it has been several hours since it was on last. What is wrong with it?

My mac froze on me so i tried to turn it back on and it just loads up and stays on a white screen with an apple and the little loading circle. I can hear the start up sound, i hear the fan running and the apple on the back is lit up but it just wont load up. I tried leaving it over night but that didn't work either. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

HELP! My Ai CS5.5 is being slow to the point where it's not responsive. How do I fix this?

A couple weeks back my Illustrator software became so slow that most of the time it would close if I just opened a document. I've tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it. Which worked for a little while and then the same problem happened. When I just reintalled illustrator I received an ERROR 7 (listed below). Aslo when I found someone with a similar issue I checked the common filers (but I have no idea what it means.... I'm running a Windows 7 computer. And really need this to work. Please help! -Thanks

Final Cut Pro X does run extremely slow on the fastest macbook pro

So I bought the fastest MacBook Pro 2011 2.3 GHZ i7 8GB to start editing with final cut pro x. Even put in two Solid State Drive (vertex 3 max iops) (Vertex 3) 256GB.
So already to start and than the dissapointment. Final cut pro x is so slow that it is impossible to work with. constantly green image, movie freezes al the time. and the beachbal is constantly on the screen.
I must be doing something wrong but Can't figure it out. Editing the same files under Imovie is smooth without any problems?
Thanks for any help. starting to feel sorry that I bought a mac please change my mind.
