Late 2011 macbook pro running slow

Hi my macbook has been running pretty sluggish lately. I haven't upgraded anything since I've purchased it. Any thoughts? I just ran an EtreCheck a few minutes hoping it helps. Thanks in advance!

    You may need the "gopro" agent if you've a "GoPro" camera, and you may need the "sierrawireless" and "novatelwireless" if you use a Sierra Wireless device of some sort and if you actually need the novatel drivers, but I think that you can safely get rid of the Seagate drivers (unless you need them for some sort of NAS???) and the other stuff.
    Give a call back and tell us what you actually have and actually need. Most of it just looks like junk!

    EDIT: And you definitely need to uninstall ANY SmithMicro software!!!

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes

    Good Morning.
    This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
    The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
    The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
    The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
    Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
    Additonal information:
    When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
    The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
    I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
    The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.

    "This is not a retina 15" - though I just turned off the graphics switching to see if that made any difference."
    That recall is not just for the Retina model:
    From:
    https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
    Affected Models
    MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
    I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
    There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
    http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
    "Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
    Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
    So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
    "Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
    The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
    Re:
    http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
    The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
    Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
    Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
    They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
    I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
    I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. 

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion with app: "iMac EFI Firmware update"

    I have an app on my MacBook Pro late 2011 model, by the name "iMac EFI Firmware update" that my computer says is useless... can I uninstall it using CleanMyMac without corrupting my OS Mountain Lion or simply dragging it to the garbage?

    You can delete it. Just drag it to the Trash and this installer will be removed. As you have already installed this update, you don't need the installer anymore on the hard drive

  • 2011 MacBook Pro Runs slow and Freezes

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 running 8 GB of RAM and it runs like a dog - freezing and crashing like a PC would - have to keep rebooting it. What is going on. Has Bill Gates poisoned the Apple?

    NO - it takes forever to load finder (files and subfiles take ages to load) and most other programs and then just stays busy forever & eventually I have to force quit everything and reboot.
    I ugraded to 10.7.3 this afternoon and it seems to have made a small improvement. Not much.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion - Have two external displays (one MiniDisplay, one VGA-USB), how do I rotate just the one screen?

    The primary, horizontal monitor is connected by the VGA-MiniDisplay adapter, and the secondary monitor (vertical) is connected with a VGA-USB adapter. They both connect fine, but I only have the option to rotate both at once. That is, the main 'System Preferences' window that shows up on the primary monitor has the option to rotate, but only there -- when I rotate that screen it rotates both.
    Also, I'm not going to be using the actual MacBook screen. Any ideas as to how I can get this to work? Thanks!

    The Apple TB displays I've seen come with two TB connectors. You can cascade them in daisy-chain fashion.
    However, you are limited to how much information the GPU can produce and store. I've been told by the local apple shop (not an official Apple Store) geeks that if you cascade two of the big displays onto one of the Macs (big models), both will fire up, but the Mac's internal display will be disabled. Apparently 1GB of VRAM isn't enough for so many framebuffers.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) backlight keyboard not functioning properly?

         I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and for some reason, the automatic backlight keyboard will not funtion as it should. When I have the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option enabled in settings, and I turn on the lights, my backlight keyboard stays at full brightness. Then, when I turn off the keyboard, then the lights, the keyboard does not turn on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that this was a feature in the MBP lines.

    Try a SMC reset.   Shut down the computer. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Press the power button to turn on the computer.   Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • I have a late 2011 macbook pro and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated

    I have a late 2011 macbook pro running OSX Lion, and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated. Im wondering what can i do to stop this or get it to update.

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro suffers from screen corruption on wake up

    My late 2011 Macbook Pro suffers from screen corruption on wake up - once password is entered the screen refreshes and performs OK. As hardware must be OK is there a driver or software fix?
    My late 2011 Macbook Pro (running Lion) suffers from screen corruption on wake up - once password is entered the screen refreshes and performs OK.
    Do othres sufffer from this? and as hardware must be OK is there a driver or software fix?
    Thanks.

    Hi I wanted to let you know that the hard drive is bad I am meeting with the apple manager tomorrow since my laptop is no longer under warranty but I had previously brought the laptop in for the same black screen when the warranty was good.. Have any pointers on how to approach them ?  I'm seriously disheartened by this especially since my 2006 white MacBook is running like a champ with no problems ever which is why I decided to buy another MacBook but one that was capable of running Lion

  • Upgrade to SSD or HDD? Late 2011 MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, running Yosemite with 500GB hard drive & 4 GB of RAM.
    I'm going to upgrade the RAM to 16GB regardless to speed things up a little.
    I'm a very basic level user. Mainly use it for web surfing, watching movies, downloading music etc.
    I don't think I want to lose the SuperDrive as I burn cd's to play in my car.
    Reckon an upgrade to an internal HDD should do the trick. Looking to get 2TB at least. Can anyone recommend anything to me please & explain to me how I go about transferring data from current HDD to the new 1?
    Thanks!

    Vendors to check are OWC, DataMem, and Best Buy. I would recommend Seagate, HSGT, and Toshiba. The latter now makes a 2 TB notebook sized drive you can use in that model. I believe this is the largest capacity for a notebook drive.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Download SD card on Late 2011 Macbook Pro with iPhoto 9.6

    I am on a 13 inch late 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1, using iPhoto 9.6.   When I download photos straight from the SD card to iPhoto some of my photos come out like this.  They are good on the SD card and if I reload them 1-3 times they turn out okay.  I use an external hard drive, but I switched back to loading them on my hard drive to see if that would resolve the issue, they still loaded like below.  I have tried different SD cards, different cables (on external HD).  Any ideas?

      They are good on the SD card and if I reload them 1-3 times they turn out okay.
    Are JPEGs also corrupted?
    If  only some RAW files that are corrupted, and if the results are random, it looks more likely a hardware problem than a problem with the RAW support. I recommend to make an extra backup of your mac, just in case. And then test your drives and the memory. It might also be the USB port.

  • Why is my macbook pro running slow.  It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser.  I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out.  Would be super grateful.  :-)

    Hi.  This is my first time posting.  My Macbook Pro with Os X Mavericks has been running super slow since before I installed Mavericks so I'm pretty sure it's not the OS that has the problem.  It runs slow even if only one app is open, especially if it's a browser, particulary google chrome.  If mail is open...forget about it, down to a crawl.  I don't know how to read Etrecheck, but was hoping someone who does can help me out.  Would be super grateful.  :-)
    P.S. - Also, it sounds like something is loose inside my mac.  How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

    DiskWarrior is a program that tries to repair low level directories that can get messed up. From their website ...
    What is DiskWarrior?
    DiskWarrior is the safest, most technologically advanced, most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer.
    There are other utilities that do similar things.
    Looking for login items is probably a better bet. You do this by opening System Preferences and then looking into Accounts. From there you should see a tab for Login Items. There will be some things you want to keep. iTunes helper and some other helper files are actually nice to have around, but you may have things that look like total sludge. Get rid of those. If you aren't sure, try to google the name of the program and you will likely get some more info about it before destroying it.

  • Help! Macbook Pro running Slow. I have ETRECHECK results

    Help!
    I have a Macbook Pro, and in the past month or so my applications have stopped responding on a very regular basis. iphoto, Word, Firefox, etc. Really, almost no application is working on my computer. VERY frustrating! I started in safe mode and that's the only way I can get an internet browser to run.
    Please help!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    Are you running both VirtualBox and Parallels? The sad thing is that you've only 2GB of RAM - and your machine can be upgraded to 8GB which would, in your case, have a tremendous impact on the speed of your machine (I'm not certain why EtreCheck is saying that the 2GB of RAM is not upgradable).
    2GB just isn't enough to run modern versions of OS X - not even the Lion OS that you're running now. If you want more performance from your machine, upgrade your RAM. You can go to the Crucial website or the OWC website and find the RAM that's right for your machine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
