Macbook Pro 2010 slowing down

I have had my MBP for almost a year now.  It seems to be slowing down.  I have 4g ram, 500 gig 7200 rpm hd, 2.4ghz processor and am running OSX 10.6.7.  I use my MBP quite frequently using programs such as Microsoft Office 2011, iPhoto, iMovie and several others.  I partitioned my hard drive so I have 350 gigs on the MAC side and 150 gigs on Bootcamp. I am a recent convert from Windows and I know that there are defrag programs for Windows and utilities to "clean it up" and speed it up. 
Are there programs available for Mac to do the same thing?  I am having more and more problems with iMovie and iPhoto slowing down considerably.
Any suggestions?

  • Macbook Pro 2010 Slowing down and acting weird for no apparent reason.

    I got this computer in September 2010 new from apple. Macbook Pro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 build: 10J869 version 10.6.7
    Recently it seems to have hit a wall (running very slow). When I try to open any program it takes 10 times longer than normal...Always beach balling. This isn't normal. I have not been running many programs besides firefox and itunes lately. And The occasional Word Processor document. Sometimes when I type the computer will go very slow letter by letter. (it takes a few seconds to type one word) Also, sometimes it will work normally. I haven't had any weird error messages. Although, just a few minutes ago I was in Firefox and the words at the top of the screen vanished. (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Window-----all disappear)
    Please help, the computer is not very old, I don't understand why this is happening.

    A slow computer can be caused by a multitude of issues. The first thing I'd try is to check in Activity Monitor (Application - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and run it while you are doing your normal computing, what I'd recommend looking for are 2 things:
    1. Look to see if there is an application or applications that is taking a lot of %CPU. For example if you noticed FireFox or iTunes using 85% of your CPU that is a huge red flag something is wrong.
    2. Next click the System Memory tab towards the bottom and see how much FREE RAM you have during normal computing. If it's 500MB or below then your system is starved for RAM.
    Report back what you find and then we can test some other items.

  • MacBook Pro is slowing down

    So I've had my Macbook Pro since 2009 and it's been slowing down the past couple years and I want it back running like it should.  I recently updated to Yosemite and feel like that's the culprit.  I also ran EtreCheck so maybe someone can help me identify the problem from there?

  • My macbook pro is slowing down!what is the best way to speed it up?what is the best drive cleaner application i can use?

    my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!

    There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster.  At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
    Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
    Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Pro (2010) slow/unresponsive booting OSX from Windows

    Hello All,
    Let me introduce myself. My name is Josh and I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and also pursuing an Info Sec degree. As such I was forced to boot camp Windows 7 on my Mac in order to complete certain classes needing Windows and Windows software. I am running into some issues that I can not seem to work around. First I will give the stats of my computer then try to explain the issues I am encountering.
    Macbook Pro 13inch  Mid 2010
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    16GB memory
    Crutial 256 GB SSD
    OSX 10.9.2
    Windows 7 Professional
    New battery
    I partitioned the SSD in half for both Windows and OSX. Each has around 30 GB of data on each side. I installed the SSD and memory around 6 months ago and everything worked flawlessly. Needing Windows and being cheap I decided to dual boot, through bootcamp, the two operating systems. Install, although a pain, was completed sucessfully and worked great. It has been installed for about 3 months and ran flawlessly. I have kept up with updates on both sides and running antivirus on Windows. I rarely do any work besides school on Windows but run the antivirus regularly for protection. These issues arose a few days ago. One issue I encounter periodically is that when booting to Windows I hold down the control key and it still loads OSX. I have to try several times to get it to boot Windows. Sometimes it works first try. Once in Windows everything works as it should and fast with the memory and SSD. When I shut down the computer and return to OSX everything loads as normal with the same speed except when I go to open an application. It takes several minutes of spinning wheel for it to open. Until then it is slow and often unresponsive. If I let it run its course it will eventually calm down and work correctly. During this time the fan kicks on. Another issue is that sometimes one of my external hard drives fails to read. I can unplug and plug it back into each of the USB hubs with no luck. The two external hard drives I have are one for Time Machine backups- 1TB Western Digital and the other for all my work- 1TB Western Digital. Each hard drive is scanned with Windows 7 during antivirus checks. Finally, I installed a new battery, as mine was gone, and since the install I do not get the same life span out of a charge (around 5 hours max with little use). If anyone has any advise please feel free to contribute. I would like to solve the issue. Thank you for your time and if you need any more information I would happily provide.
    Also: I will be creating another thread for two more Macbook Pros I am working to resolve issues.
    Josh

    Josh,
    have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if it would have any effect on your battery life and fan frequency?

    You need more ram. But has it really been 3 months since you rebooted this computer? Restart it once in awhile and some of that slowness might go away.

  • MacBook Pro 15" Slows down to a stop

    I love the new leopard system however I have noticed that my macbook pro is crawling lately. I f I restart the computer it will temporarily speed up but after going into standby a couple of times the computer will slow to a crawl forcing me to restart the computer.
    The only 3rd party program which I can even potentially attribute this problem to would be parallels, however it does not seem to be the issue. Certainly my computer should not be having ANY speed issues. A problem I had earlier was major trackpad issues (occasionally the trackpad would freeze up and the cursor might even go in the opposite direction), this seems to have gone away. However the computer continues to run slowly. I am wondering if it could possibly be a hd issue? I have a 160GB hd 5400rpm.(standard but hey...)
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Leopard worked fine for the first few days, but now my computer is at a crawl. I tried freeing up a of space on my HD, but it did nothing. Starting programs, running then, shutting them down, coming back from idle/screen saver, even switching panes in "Spaces" takes forever... it makes no sense, and its infuriating. This thing carries my life with it, my work, my contacts, my college material and papers, my entertainment, and its barely functional. Granted Leopard is fairly streamlined in comparison to Tiger, but at least Tiger actually performed steadily.
    Oh, and side note: as cool as Spaces is, they should have made it more like virtue-desktops so you could customize it with backgrounds and such, and not lock programs to the pane in which it was opened, that's just stupid. Not that any of it matters if the damned thing becomes the computer equivalent of a tortoise. . .

  • Macbook pro keeps slowing down

    My Macbook pro had been playing up lately.  Looking at the activity monitor the Memory Pressure keeps going to red and slowing the computer down. A Safari Web
    Content process keeps opening up and causes it to use up all the RAM, slow down and a few times caused it to crash. The process is https://autotrader.portal.com. How can i stop this from running? Every time it opens up by itself I have to force quit it to stop it slowing up and freezing.

  • New Macbook pro is slowing down.any ideas why?

    Hi There,
    I bought a macbook pro last July and in the last week I have noticed it slowing down, loading webpages takes longer etc.... I updated to yosemite recently but I am not sure that is the issue. Could it be something to do with cache, someone was trying to download movies on it so maybe I have a small virus?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Read my earlier reply about virus.
    You can forget about virus
    You don't have one
    I suggest you download and install EtreCheck from http://etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Run EtreCheck and publish report here

  • Macbook pro 2010 slow wireless with motorola surfboard sb901

    anyone using a motorola surfboard sb901? i recently purchased this cable modem / router combo (all in one) and seems like my internet has been lagging since. i've tried changing wireless channels, disable/changing wireless security settings, resetting them to factory, etc. no dice.
    i brough my macbook pro to my friends house and the internet was blazing along.
    pretty sure its a modem issue, but wondering if theres a setting that someone knows that works for them. thanks

    i also have a macbook pro 13 inch that i nought inn oct. 2009 i didn't have problems with wireless internet and i was using a motorola surfboard modem and an old g rated link sys router. i now have upgraded my router and modem and my internet it is super slow. but the weird thing is it is only slow on the mac.( i also have a hp from 2007 with no problems with internet) i am now using n rated belkin router with dual channels. i tried changing the channels on the router but this also hasn't helped. im stuck and tried to download onyx but it told me it doesn't work with my operating system. (i have the newest one available) i am going to try changing back to the original router. i will post another post if this helps or not. thanks. if anyone has any advice, please send it to me,
    thanks.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly slowing down

    Hi, my macbook pro has plenty of space left and has been fine up until a few days ago... I never have many programs open... so... I got the instructions from another page for what to post up here, so here goes...
    %user = goes between 3.00 and 5.00
    %system = goes between 4.00 and 6.00
    %idle = goes between 90.00 and 93.00
    Page outs = 3.21 GB
    Swaps used = 1.87 GB
    Reads in/sec = 0
    Writes out/sec = 0
    (for the most part, though writes out/sec does occasionally bounce up, sometimes to 2, 4, and at highest 16… reads in/sec never seems to go higher than 1 or 2)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Your log shows that the NVIDIA graphic card has failed. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the computer repaired.
    The graphic card is soldered onto the logic board, so the whole logic board has to be replaced, making this an expensive repair

  • Macbook Pro Extremely Slow All Of A Sudden, Wiped Completely and Problem Persists

    My 2012 Macbook Pro has slowed down to nearly a crawl in just about everything I try to do, espescially with anything that utilizes the internet.  Activity Moniter initially revealed the issue to be the Kernal_Task proccess using too much memory as well as com.apple.finder. Also, Spotlight was indexing constantly until I disabled my disk from being accesed by it within the privacy tab of Spotlight Preference. The spinning beach ball of death has appeared more times in the past few days then I have ever seen in the entire year I've had my Macbook Pro.
    I literally tried everything that I could find. I've done everything from resetting the Pram and the other thing (I forgot the name but when you hold down four keys at once during start up). I've tried killing proccesses, rebooting my mac several times, closing out programs, deleting all applications, just about eveything you can think of. Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox were all extremely slow. Attemping to verify disk permissions or repair failed because of the sheer amount of time it was taking. I let the computer sit for an entire day and it seemed to make little to no progress in repairing the disk. I even booted the computer in Safe Mode and it was stil performing poorly.
    The issue is NOT Hard Drive space on my Macbook. I know this because it was working perfectly fine and then all of sudden started behaving like this. All of these issues ultimately led to me doing something many others wouldn't, WIPING MY ENTIRE MAC AND RESTORING FROM FACTORY SETTINGS.
    The issue STILL persists although not as severe. Internet browing is bearable but nowhere near perfomring as it should. Even simple task such as opening up a new tab or switching tabs results in a spinning beach ball for about 5-10 seconds. Opening an application such as Pages or Twitter results in a spinning beach ball for 5-10 seconds before working slowly. Simply right clicking results in spinning beach ball.
    I have no idea what the issue could be at this point. I am now about to attempt to verify the disk again to see if it fixes any issues but a year old Apple product should NOT be behaving like this.
    Any advice is appreciated!

    Melophage,
    I've been scouring the community for help, and hoping you might be able and willing to look at my etrecheck results and share any wisdom and feedback, problem causers you see! I updated to OS Mavericks through apple updates without really realizing I was installinga  whole new system. I have been experiencing the lag issues that many others have, and have a Kernel_Task for which the CPU skyrockets at random and consistently slows things down. I've run disk repair in recovery mode, repaired permission, PRAM, a few 'basics', but have not really had success in addressing the issue (I guess because I don't really understand the issue!)
    Thanks in advance for any time and suggestions!!

  • My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    Hi..
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    And disabling the resume feature can help.
    Open System Preferences > General. Deselect:  Reopen windows when quitting and re-opening apps
