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!

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.

Mountain Lion Running VERY SLOW on Late 2009 iMac

Specs are all good. There's enough disc space, memory etc... Not too many start up items...
But STILL... My system is BUGGY and VERY SLOW!
I've done a clean install and to no avail... I am constantly getting the spinning wheel with every action I take.
For now, all I can do is be extremely patient and not keep pushing the system... I let it do its thing.
Something is not happy.

Thank you for the repy ETRESOFT!
Not sure why the screen shots aren't showing up? They even came up on iPad while viewing your post? Sorry about that.
Okay... After running your diagnostic program, (THANK YOU AGAIN) here's what we find...
It looks like there's a S.M.A.R.T. failure. (SEE BELOW)
I'm not sure if I should completely wipe the hard drive, attempt utility disk repair and reinstall everything? Would it benefit?
Last week when I was prepared to install Mountain Lion for the first time, I called APPLE Support and they advised me to do the following for a fresh & clean install:
Completely erase the iMac hard drive.
Download and Install a fresh copy of Lion
Set up TEMP USER as default ADMIN
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
Add a 2nd user Chipo1973 with ADMIN Rights
Migrate backup copy of Chipo73 from MacBook Pro onto user Chipo1973 / iMac
Delete original TEMP USER
Not sure if this caused any additional issues?
Thoughts?

MacBook Pro runs very slow after upgrade to Yosemite? Why did you turn my Mac into a Windows computer?

I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (non-retina). Now the system is incredibly slow.
1) wake-up form sleep takes up to a minute
2) Various icons will not open or respond until I have clicked on it three or four times and get the spinning beach ball (Finder, Calendar, iTunes)
3) Using Outlook for Mac app - similar issue as 2 when trying to send mail, add attachments or do anything
I am very frustrated by this upgrade. Any recommendations for speeding the system back to Mountain Lion levels?

ok, stopped syncing in System preferences and even (horror) deleted the file which reappeared in seconds.
now waiting to see if stopping the syncing helps - though computer is now working a bit better, the info on Activity Monitor would indicate it is not a real improvement

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).

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.

Lion runs very slow on macbook pro 4.1

About 3 months ago I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.4 and at first all was fine, loving the new funtionality. But slowly the puter began slowing down. Now Apple appls take forever to open...iTunes can take 2 minutes and so can Text Edit or Preview. Space bar previews in finder almost never actually complete, usually just a spinning gear.
The 10.7.5 update seemed to help, but then the massive slow down began again. And now it seems like Time Machine is always running, or preparing or getting over a backup, seems like forever.
I am considering going back to 10.6.8 but I do like the new functionality.
500gb HD, 182gb available; 4gb RAM; Regularly blast PRam, restart in safe mode, run permissions repair, then power cycle to start again.
Any suggestions before I downgrade???? All input appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Things You Can Do To Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
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.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

Lion Very slow!! in Macbook pro 2.6GHz Intel Core2Duo

I need to reinstal snow leopard!! Lion isn´t work well in my laptop

If you have TimeMachine drive follow these instructions
http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you will be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
Boot into Windows and backup any files there as well. Disconnect all other drives and devices not involved.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not to TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire boot disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered, OS, programs, files, Windows etc all gone.)
If Lion is hosed but boots: You may want to hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and use Disk Utility to format the new blank external drive instead of using OS X Lion's Disk Utility. Then reboot into Lion and copy files that way. If you have a backup of your files this is not necessary.
If Lion won't boot: You can install OS X 10.6 onto a blank external HFS+ journaled formatted drive and then hold option key and boot off the external drive and grab your files if you don't have a backup. If your Lion drive won't mount or is corrupted try a Disk Utility repair, as a last resort use DataRescue (commercial software you need to download) to do a 1's and 0's recovery (not pretty, you should always backup)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP there, don't install OS X yet.
Look up at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker (Hitachi, Toshiba, Seagate, WD etc.), click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same drive name as before, and click Erase...
(note: if you want to "scrub" the drive of old files that haven't been overwritten yet, then use the Security Option > Zero Erase, takes a lot longer)
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.

Run the Software Update under the Apple Menu
Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final steps to prevent such a mess from reoccuring
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a new/blank HFS+Journaled external drive (used only for this purpose) as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version..
Restoring from a bootable clone is rather painless and nearly automatic as it's a duplicate of the boot drive cloned. Make as many clones as you need.
It can be autoupdated to just apply changes so it doesn't take as long as a full clone.

Also use a TimeMachine drive, although not bootable like a clone, is easy to restore stuff from provided you have a installer disk to boot from (Restore TM is right under the same menu as Disk Utility on the installer disk), so if your superdrive is dead or your installer disks are missing or damaged, your out of luck.
Always maintain two copies of your data on two seperate pieces of hardware at all times to prevent a unexpected surprise from catching you.
Do not maintain a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, seperate drives is best.

IMovie '08 very slow performance on a MacBook Pro 2,33 Dual Core

I imported a 1 hour video clip today. Then I wanted to add 14 chapter marks. After 8 hours trying accomplish this simple task I gave up at chapter 6. It was extremely slow. I then did the same task in the previous version of iMovie in just 10 minuttes. Why is that?
I have the latest update on OS-X and iMovie '08 and all my other iLife '08 perform flawless

I agree/confirm. The new OS update made a significant improvement. I do not recall the settings I used. I just put everything to High and then reduced a few to medium until it ran smooth. I am pretty happy with gameplay now. My startup time is fair for me. It takes roughly 2 minutes for me to actually be in the game playing.
Im not sure if Apple intentionally set out to made this improvement as I read nothing about a video card update in the notice.
I wonder whatelse can be done to play this game at its full potiential on my X1600 MBP...I love to play this with my daughter. To play at all High settings would be jolly fun! lol

Mini running started running very slow

My Mac mini started to run very slow. Any ideas as to why?

Hi, first try this...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Then...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this slowness happens.

Lion runs very slow on a fast MacBook Pro, why?
