  • Macbook Pro WAY TOO LOUD

    Sorry for the Caps-attack in the subject, but it's all too true. Any time I plug in headphones, the sound is painfully loud at the lowest volume setting. On video games and video players, this is usually fine (I can lower the volume through in game settings or on the player) but occasionally a flash animation will temporarily deafen me, and I have no way to avoid it but to close the tab.
    Anyone else running into this problem?

    This forum is for troubleshooting compatbility issues between Mac OS and Windows. I suggest you post your question in the MacBook Pro discussions:

  • Macbook Pro way too loud when headphones plugged

    Hi
    I've always had this problem, when I plug in any type of headphones, I must lower the volume to one - max two - "blocs" of volume, otherwise my head explodes. I unplug them, and I have normal volume range with the external speakers.
    Anyone has that problem too??
    thanks

    Anthony,
    Have you learned anything more about this problem? I have the exact same issue. Headphones that work fine on an older Macbook Pro are deafening on the new (Mar. 2008) model.
    I haven't had time to go down to an Apple store and see if it is the same on all machines.

  • My Macbook Pro is too slow!

    I am only running Firefox, Papers2 and Pages and 3.99GB of my 4GB ram is being used up. A detailed description of my system I took with EtreCheck is below.
    There is a kernel task that is using a lot of my memory, does anyone know what this is ?
    I hope someone can help me !

    RAM usage as such is not your problem since Mavericks is designed to use as much as is available.  Read this:

    Since you have Parallels installed, a RAM increase would be beneficial.

  • Macbook pro fan making loud noises and going really fast. Now the fan doesn't work at all and my computer gets extremely hot almost instantly. Is there a way to fix it without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

    I've had my Macbook pro for about 3 1/2 years now. It has worked great until recently. A few months ago I noticed that the fan would always run really fast when I was doing simple tasks. After a few weeks/months, the fan was still really fast but it also started to make these loud noises. Now, it only occasionally makes the loud noise if I move my computer after its been stationary for a while. The fan no longer works at all and my computer gets exceptionally hot almost instantly when I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

    You can try a SMC reset:

  • New Retina Macbook pro 15 Haswell loud fan?

    I'm running a brand new 15" 2.3ghz 16gb, 500HD (of course shipped with Mavericks), anyway this sucker is LOUD, the fan fires up every time I do a photo import with Lightroom 5. My room-temperature is average and it's sitting on a cool table. I ran diagnostics and apparently there are no issues. Once the import is complete the fan shuts off after a minute or so. This is my first mac so maybe this is typical but I wasn't expecting an average task to push this power-horse and fire up it's fan so easily...... Love the machine otherwise.....

    After a lot of frustration going to Geniuses, begging to go to level 2 tech support, and even calling on my Joint Venture membership Genius privileges, I had just returned the notebook for a new one, as I was in the 14-day return period.
    My new MacBook Pro still experiences this issue, but it is not as intense or as troublesome.
    That Apple has not discovered this issue makes me wonder how they test their computers. One would have thought that this would have been discovered long ago and dealt with in the latest software update.
    My two MacBook Pro Retinas, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Mini ALL run harder, louder, and slower in Mavericks under the simplest tasks.
    Again, the easiest test is to move a file from A to B, from the desktop to a folder.
    This issue did not appear in Mountain Lion.
    As my JV rep said, "When you buy a Ferrari, you expect it to drive like one."

  • My 2008 Macbook Pro makes a loud fan noise.

    Hello -
    I bought my 15" macbook pro back in October 2008. I was very happy with my purchase due to the machine's performance. But over the past year I have noticed an increase in the fan noise. It almost sounds like it's hitting against something at a very high speed, hense this irregular fan noise. The noise also increases drastically when I am working on Photoshop or InDesign. I also partitioned my hard-drive to hold windows so I can work on AutoCad.....noise increases also as I work on my machine.
    Why is this happening? Could this loud fan noise damage any internal component to the machine? Should I bring it in to Apple immediately?
    Thank you!

    Some of the applications that you mention are somewhat CPU intensive which creates heat and results in fan speed increase and hence additional noise (to state the obvious).  However if you are experiencing excessive noise when CPU loads are modest it could be that your fans are failing as all mechanical devices eventually will or you may have 'schmutz' inside that is the cause of the unwanted noise.
    I suggest you open the MBP and see if there is any dust in the fans that may very well be affecting their performance.  After 4 years, this is not an uncommon situation and it could be the solution to the problem.
    If not, then you may consider getting replacements from iFixit or Powerbook Medic and replace them your self.  It is not rocket science in this instance.  If you suffer from chronic fingerfumbilitis, then have the Apple store do it for you.
    Ciao.

  • Why does the MacBook Pro make a loud heat noise?

    So, when I was playing a game called "Modern Combat Domination" my MacBook Pro make a very loud heat noise? Does that mean I should stop playing the game? I worried. Thank You.

    That means your fan(s) sped up to dispose of the excess heat generated by playing the game. It's a sign that your machine is taking care of itself properly.

  • Colormunki calibrates my MacBook Pro monitor too bright.

    I'm trying to calibrate my 15" MacBook Pro's monitor using a Colormunki Photo.   I've different setting but the results are always way too bright.   Anyone have and success or tips?

    Turn off Zoom option in System prefs/ universal access/ seeing tab. Or press cmdopt (+/-) to adjust.
    I'd turn it off just in case you hit it again.

  • MacBook Pro using too much RAM

    I have  15" MacBook Pro, purchased in February, 2013.  It has 2.6 Ghz Intel i7 processor, 8 GB RAM and a 750 GB hard drive.  The HD is about 25% filled, mostly with photos.  It came with Mountain Lion, I upgraded to Mavericks, then to Yosemite.  I go back and forth between Safari and Chrome for my browser.  (I've heard Chrome uses too much memory, but I've found the opposite to be the case for my computer.)  All upgrades went smoothly, no problems.   I love using it, EXCEPT...
    Over the past year, I've thought it was using too much RAM for very simple activities and it slows to a crawl using Aperture or MS Word.  Even when just web browsing, and nothing else open or running, the computer will use 6 to 7 gigs of available RAM.  Using Aperture is so slow it's no longer fun... I wait and wait for the beach ball to go away and it does, eventually (Won't need to worry about Aperture for too much longer, I guess).  I've been thinking about Lightroom to replace Aperture, but I'm worried that I will have similar problems with a new program.  Any suggested solutions?  Thanks!

    Hey danfrompeoria,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are using a lot of memory. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Retina MacBook Pro fan very loud and usb mouse disconnecting when restarting the computer

    2 days ago, I got a brand new retina MacBook Pro 13 inch with the specs 2.8 GhZ i7, 8 gigs of ram and 512gb ssd. It should definitely be functioning properly since it's a really expensive computer, but I already noticed a few problems that I hope you can  help me with.
    So first of all, when I play World of Warcraft, the fan seems to go up to 6000rpm and is very loud. I checked the activity monitor and it says WoW is using about 60% CPU, so it shouldn't have to be that loud. I also installed smcfancontrol, but it doesn't seem to lower the speed of the fan.
    I ran an apple diagnostics test and it couldn't find any problems, and I also tried resetting my smc, but the fan is still going very loud.
    And the second problem I have is, that when I have my mouse usb connected to my Mac, and I restart it, it can't detect the mouse anymore. So I'd have to pull out the usb plug and put it back in everytime I turn on my computer. isn't it supposed to automatically connect to my mouse when it's already plugged in?

    Matt,
    Try reading this, then go to the section on Resetting the SMC for a Macbook Pro with a battery you should not remove.

  • Retina Macbook Pro wifi too slow at home, other devices are fine though

    I bought Retina macbook Pro 15inch couple months ago.
    The internet speed seems ok at school, but when at home it is too slow that I can't do anything at all.
    But my other devices like iphone/ ipad works great and has fast internet.
    So I upgraded internet service, from 15mb speed to 30,
    but it still is slow.
    I turned off the bluetooth, and seemed like it help tiny bit with the speed but I can't have anything done with this speed.
    Do I need to buy a new modem / router?
    Thank you for the hlep in advance.

    Hold down the Option key and click on the WiFi Icon on the menuBar.
    This will reveal all sorts of information about your Network and what is around you.
    Look for what channel your Router is on. See if any other Routers are trying to use the same channel.
    Look for the transmit level, something like -75.
    Look for the transmit rate.

  • 10.9.4 update- MacBook Pro now too slow to use

    I installed the 10.9.4 update on July 17. Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro. It has since become too slow to be functional. 'Spinning wheel' constantly, and delays after keystrokes. I had no problems at all before this update. I have read that repairing disk permissions sometimes helps and have tried that. I sometimes have brief periods of normal performance, then it slows down again.
    The problem is not specific to an application. It is slow regardless of what I am doing, even when first staring up and logging in.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    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. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    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. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. 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.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. 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 by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. 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, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    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.
    11. 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.
    12. 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.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try 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.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. 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.

  • Macbook Pro, gaming, and loud fan noise!

    I have just started to install some Intel-based games on my Macbook Pro, and I've noticed that the fan noise increases dramatically when playing any type of game. I realize that an increase in CPU usage will cause the computer to increase the fan speed, but do you guys experience this with all games? I love the fact that my Macbook Pro is so quiet all the time, and it bothers me that the computer sounds like it is going to "take off" whenever I play games. It almost sounds like the computer is about to explode!

    it's very normal. my fan rotates at around 6200 RPM and MBP makes noise while playing UT2004. If you use headphones or subwoofers/speakers during gaming, the noise wouldn't be audible anyways. It's not like you are supposed to listen to MBP's games instead of in-game audio during playing games. Also, both ps3 and xbox360 makes noise louder than MBP during processor-intensive operations. I had a ps3 for 8 months. So I know

  • Macbook pro retina, too much ram used & performance problems

    i've recently got my macbook pro with retina display, 128 gb i5 intel 2.6Hz processor with 8gb memory, OS Yosemite 10.10.1. problems began to appear the very first moment i've turned it on: at the last step of profile creation (the step where you choose a name and a password of your profile), after i've filled all the fields and clicked some button to proceed, my macbook refused to boot and froze. i've restarted the computer and then it booted just fine. Then new problems appeared: after installing some apps from mac app store, they wouldn't load the first time i open them, - i had to close them and reopen. Once again, this issue wasn't appearing with every app - only with a few ones. I assumed that this was a software issue which will disappear after i update. And well, i didn't observe this problem ever since i've updated the OS. However, i can't be sure that it disappeared.
    Also, i monitor RAM consumption using the Memory Clean app. there are like only 3.60 gb free space out of 8. is it ok?
    so, what i am asking: should i take my macbook to a store to get it fixed or this problem is just a software and not a hardware issue and i just have to wait?
    Thanks

    That is normal.  The Mavericks and Yosemite OSXs use as much RAM as is available in order to increase efficiency.. The parameter that you should monitor is 'pressure', not the amount.  If it is GREEN, you are operating within acceptable limits.  If there is a color change, then more RAM may be required or there may be other issues that may need attention.
    so, what i am asking: should i take my macbook to a store to get it fixed or this problem is just a software and not a hardware issue and i just have to wait?
    Since you have a new MBP, your best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them sort out the issues for you.  Your MBP has a warranty, use it.
    Ciao.
