MACBOOK PRO 2010-Mavericks - Fusion 6 Performance Issue

I recently upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and Fusion3.0 to Fusion 6.0.2. I had Performance no issues with Lion or Fusion 3.
NOW with MAVERICKS and Fusion 6 WIDOWS XP  has been rendered useless . Once Windowsa boots up the CPU is pegged @ 100% and if I attempt to launch any program the MAC MEMORY drops below 1GB and keeps falling . I have Fusion 6 set to HW VER 10 ; 1 core processor and 1024 Memory. The APPNAP box that appears in GETINFO is Checked..
I have an appointment at the GENIUS Bar on Saturday and of course Fusion wants 29.95 for TECH Support which may or not solve the issue . Any thoughts we be appreciated

The issue that was identified :  Macafee provided by FUSION 6 Tools  was in continual loop on XP and eating CPU and pulling memory beyond the allocated VM setting (1024MB) . Thus it was draining the MAC memory below 1 GB

  • Macbook Pro 2010 Mavericks running very slow

    Been having some trouble with my machine for a while now. Mostly seems related to internet programs. Google chrome, kernel task or this proccess will take up all of my processor power. Switching windows will sometimes hang, and when I try and restart my computer applications will need to be force quit to shut down. Applications that don't take up many proccesses, and operate fine normally.
    Had something similar happen before my reformat. Had similar issues under mountain lion. Installed Mavericks, hoping it might help (and wanting a few of the new functions) but it didn't change it. Reformatted, and installed all apps from scratch rather than using time machine, since I thought it might be a software issue. I have done both permissions and disk repair. I've had disk repair find errors twice or three times in the last two months. Maybe slow hard disk failure?
    Any advice/assitance would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I've stopped using Chrome, and I'm having much fewer problems. *****, cause I really like the browser, but it was one of the major culprits.

  • My macbook pro is suddenly having major performance issues

    Hi,
    I´ve been having some performance issues with my Macbook Pro (late 2006) and was hoping that someone here might be able to help me figure out what it is.
    It all started about a month ago with the disc utility giving me an error.
    The error said something about the amount of threads being wrong.
    I popped in the install dvd and fixed the problem. I also did a complete reinstall and upgraded from leopard to snow leopard.
    There was nothing wrong with the S.M.A.R.T.-status of the drive.
    At the same time the hardrive error came around my cpu started to choke. The cpu-problem didn´t go away after I repaired the disc and formatted the drive and installed 10.6.
    Now it feels like the cpu is running way below it´s capacity. Even the simplest of tasks make my computer choke.
    My audio applications are working at about half the speed of what they used to handle. Converting a wave file to mp3 takes about twice as long, and converting a video is even worse.
    I haven´t had any problems since I bought it in 2006. It is still running smooth - except for the lack of speed. It´s not really acting weird or being unstable, just slow. Way slower than it is supposed to be (and was before).
    And it happened overnight.
    I also had a kernel panic last week. But after restarting the system it went away and I haven´t seen it since.
    My specs are: C2D 2.16, 3GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm hdd, OS 10.6.4...
    Would really appreciate help of any/every kind!
    I fear that this might be the end of my work horse

    Well, kind of a good news bad news situation for you.
    Bad news, is that your hard drive is dying. Make sure you back things up while you still can. Disk Utility's SMART status is generally just this side of useless I'm afraid. I've seen plenty of drives that are completely toast, that will show up as "Verified".
    Good news, is that as repairs go, this is close to as cheap as they get. It's up to you if you want to attempt doing it yourself, but be sure to look for some kind of take apart guide first. Look it over, and if you're even a little unsure, take it somewhere. Shortly after this model they started making it a lot easier to do HDD upgrades, not that it does you a lot of good.
    Anyway, even for a system as old as yours, this is a very cost effective repair if everything else is still working fine, and you're satisfied with the system. It's also a good opportunity to upgrade, give yourself a little extra space. No need to go overboard, but maybe a 250GB drive or so. A touch over 2X the space you had before, which can be had on the cheap. Just about any 2.5" SATA drive should work in that system.

  • Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Multiple display issue

    I didn't have this problem running OS X Mountain Lion but now that I have upgraded to Mavericks the display on my second monitor (an HD TV) is too large for the screen and no resolution changes from the display menu have any effect
    To be clear, the issue seems to be that the detected screen is larger than the actual monitor causing the edges of the display to be cut off. This is most evident in full screen mode as it cuts off things such as video action bars from view and the tabs from the top of browser search windows (especially annoying with browser windows as it also hides from view the minimize button).
    Is there any way to adjust the screen size in OS X Mavericks as changing the resolution does nothing. Any help much appreciated.

    I should also add that it has the problem where when it goes to sleep it's 50/50 as to whether it will wake up or not. If I click 'put hard disks to sleep when possible', it wakes up fine, but I don't like doing this.

  • Macbook pro 2010 Graphics issue

    I have a macbook pro 2010 which has the dreaded graphics swathing issue which causes random restarts all the time. This was a issue with this model and trying to charge me £500 to get fixed LOL. My question is i just heard they are doing free fixes for certain issues will this issue be covered..????

    Not on a 2010.  The program for your MBP has expired.  The new program is for 2011 models and some latewr.
    What you may try is installing the following:
    https://gfx.io/
    This will allow you to disable the discrete GPU and run only on the integrated one.  there will be a loss in graphics performance.
    Ciao.

    Your model has two GPUs or video chips. One is integrated into the processor. The other is a standalone graphic processor. In other words it is "discrete" with respect to the other, integrated graphic processor.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 Model Keyboard Issue - Middle keys not working

    Hi.
    I have a Macbook Pro 2010 model, for no other reason other than my cat sitting on it (tiny cat, very dry...) the middle row of keys (A,S,D,F,G,H,J,K,L) all stopped working, CAPS still works, as well as : ; " ' and the enter/return key.
    I've done nearly everything I can think of, reset everything, reinstalled OS X... Other than pulling the thing apart.
    Any suggestions or ideas of how I might fix this cheaply? Or what the problem may be?

    Hello AJTheGamer
    Check with the Keyboard Viewer to make sure no other keys are being pushed down to prevent it from the keys that you are typing to be registered. Another thing you can check is to try and create a new user to see if the issue carries across the system as a whole.
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

  • Weird Display issue MacBook Pro 2010 15"

    Hey
    i recently turned my MacBook pro on and after about ten minutes my display started to flicker some coloured lines until settling on this flickering:
    I restarted,  tried to see if any updates where avaiable neither of which helped, 
    I took a screen shot and emailed it to my partners Laptop and the lines wern't there,  so i dont think it is a software problem.
    i then shut down my laptop for the night and turned it on the next day and it was fine,  about 40 minutes on it and it started flashing again but didnt go as bad as the previous day,  It hasnt done it since but im slightly concerned as you can imagine.
    Tech Tool Deluxe reports no problems at all.
    I do have apple care but im out the country at the moment so not much i can do about it if things get worse,  i will be taking it to get checked over when i return home in a month!
    Has anyone had similar issues,  or got any ideas as to what caused this?
    Specs:
    MacBook Pro 2010 I5 2.53Ghz 15"
    8gb Crucial Memory Ram
    Stock 500Gb 7200RPM Drive
    Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640gb 5000RPM in Optibay
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256 MB graphics and built in card

    I will have to when i get home in a month, 
    it hasn't done it for a while now so hopefully i can last out the month with out any serious problems,  my main concern is the graphics going completly and me not being able to use my laptop at all!

  • Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own

    I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?
    Thanks

  • CS4 Install DVD does not mount on Macbook Pro after Maverick upgrade

    I upgraded a Macbook Pro to Maverick from Snow Leopard. I want to install CS4 but when I put the DVD in the Superdrive, it spins and spins and eventually says that the DVD is blank. I have successfully mounted other DVD's so I don't think it is a drive problem. I have also tried the DVD in a newer model Macbook Pro and it mounts successfully. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem. More important, is there a different method I can use to install CS4?

    I am not saying that the CS4 applications will not work but Adobe has never tested All CS4 applications on MAC Maverick. It might or might not work.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/system-requirements-cs4-point-products.html
    But yes if that works, its good. I just wanted to keep you updated in case in future if the application gives you any issue with the performance.

  • Frequent aero crashes in Windows 7 - Macbook Pro 2010

    Hi all,
    has anyone come across this issue?
    I have had continuous Aero crashes in my Windows 7 x64 installation and the new Macbook Pro 2010 with nvidia 330m.
    During window resizing, video playback, aero and the whole desktop window manager will frequently crash. I have reinstalled twice the operating system, installed alternate nvidia forceware drivers (from laptopvideo2go.com) with no success.
    When such a crash occurs the following error message is recorded in the Windows Event Log, Application category: 'The Desktop Window manager has encountered a fatal error'.
    Any feedback will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Theo

    I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to paste over! Here's what happens to me. I've got 257.15 downloaded and extracted. Then I go here:
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/enhancer
    I select driver version 257.15, set it for performance, select a number of different options on the page, most of which mean nothing to me, and download a ile named nv4_disp.inf. The problem is that I can't "replace" that file because that file doesn't exist in the driver installation folder. There are a lot of inf files, but none of them have that name.
    I've tried to install directly from the generated inf file by selecting update driver on the display adapter, then going manually to the inf file. It works up to the point where it shows me the 330M as compatible hardware, but when I try to install it, it says it encountered an error while attempting to install it, "The system cannot find the file specified."
    So what's up with my inf file? I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong there.
    One thing that may complicate this is that I uninstalled and deleted the Boot Camp driver while following another set of instructions on how to fix this issue. Do I need to reinstall that driver, by chance? Then upgrade from that?
    Any tips on how to recover and get back working again (preferably with updated less crash prone drivers!) would be hugely appreciated. I do development on Windows 7 and have been having a LOT of crash issues related to this!

  • MacBook Pro 2010. BootCamp.

    Hello, guys!
    I need to install Windows to BootCamp partition. But I have MacBook Pro 2010 and FusionDrive – and I have no internal optical-drive. What I need to do?

    You can't use Boot Camp Assistant. In the case of your MacBook Pro, you can only install Windows in Boot Camp using the original SuperDrive that came with it.
    To prevent issues, I recommend you to run Windows on a virtual machine. You can use an app like Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox to create a virtual machine. With those apps, you can install Windows from an external optical drive
