Sorry, finally got around to working on this macbook again. About half the speed opening the hard drive and programs as before upgrading to Mavericks, ughh.
I updated the three programs and the system now to 10.9.4. It seems marginally better, but still way off is' performance on 10.6.8. Startup, shutdown, opening apps...really drag on. I cannot figure out the issue. Here's the Erte report now:

Why is my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) so slow!!!
My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) with intel dual - core i7 4 gb RAM so slow. It came with Snow Leaopord and upgraded it to Lion, then uprgaded it to Mountain Lion. Whenever I run one of the Adobe CS5 apps it gets reeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyy slow. It used to not get slow at all. Also when I have FCPX open it gets really slow. I used to be able to run Photoshop and Safari at the same time and now it is really slugish and slow. Is there anthing I can do to clean it up and make t run faster?
ThanksFollow Sig's suggeston in adding more RAM.
Photoshop and FCP are RAM dependent applications. With 4GB of RAM, open activity monitor and see your page outs and swap used.
I have 16GB installed - page outs - 0. swap used - 0. see image below.
8GB should be a perfect upgrade for what you're using it for.
Good luck. -
Macbook pro early 2011 freezes, slow, weird fan noise + trackpad jumping around
Hi guys, see the Etrecheck report below. My 13' Macbook pro (early 2011) has been very slow for the last few months, the fan makes a weird blowing noise (several fellow students have looked around what the **** that noise was when it started doing it), and recently started freezing when opening iTunes, OpenOffice and even Firefox.
OH AND my trackpad has jumping around without me even touching it.
What do you guys think? What's the problem, what can I do? IF I take it in how much do you think it might cost?

Macbook is slow, freezes for few seconds regularly, and fan makes weird noise

Diagnostics Information: ℹ️
Mar 31, 2015, 07:59:25 PM Self test - passedTry these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 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.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Windows 8 on Macbook Pro (early 2011)
Hi,
I want to install Windows 8 on my macbook pro (early 2011) running the new Mavericks 10.9, but im stucked at the formating process when installing windows 8.
So first I go into boot camp and partition my disk as it guides me to. When It has finished and rebooted I'll hold the alt-option to select the windows disc (efi-boot). When I choose the language, typed the activationcode and all that, it wants me to format the partition i made, and thats when I got stucked. When i try to format it, it says:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GTP disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I downloaded my windows from dreamsparks microsoft, and im pretty sure it is the full version (not the upgrade). The file size is 3.6GB. I don't know if that can tell which version of windows it is.
I don't know what to do about this problem, I need help please!
Thanksbootcamp mean dual boot which mean a dual osx install

I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 from the USA. It is now running Mavericks. I connect it to a 27" Cinema Display that I bought in China after we moved to China. Before I installed Mavericks, I could run all of the Adobe CS6 and Adobe CS5.5 applications on my Macbook Pro while connected to the cinema display. Now that I have Mavericks installed, whenever I am connected to my 27" CInema display my Adobe applications crash upon opening. I know this is a rare scenario, but does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? Is there a new driver that needs installed? I'd appreciate any help.
I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.

Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often?
Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often? It's barely got anything in it and it lags alot of times. This is supposedly running on quad-core i7 2.2 yet I have to restart at times to make sure it gets better. Why is that so?
I turn on activity monitor and there aren't even anything taking up power or memory. It just lags out of the blue.Activity Monitor may still offer a clue. By default, it shows only "My Processes," those related to your user account. To see the real picture, you need to set AM to show "All Processes" as in this view:

Macbook Pro Early 2011 having issues
Hi all
I hope this message finds you all well.
Sorry that my first post is one begging for help but with a gig 3 weeks away i am bricking it due to the fact that my macbook pro, early 2011 has been playing up of late. It first started having problems when the L shift key became stuck, not physically but after some investigation on here I used Karabiner software to ascertain the issue and disable the key. However since then the computer hasnt run properly at all.
I have tried disk repair and so forth, also run Avast virus check but the issues still persist.
I run Traktor DJ software and for no reason the macbook has started glitching, spinning wheel of doom comes and everything slows down. I can't run simultaneous programmes and certainly can't run my Arkaos Grand VJ software at all which isn't good when we have a big gig in 3 weeks time.
I have run the Etrecheck as shown below but I dont know what to make of it?!
Can someone please give me some advice as I am stuck and cant rely on the laptop for the gig which will throw a real spanner in the works.
Problem description:
Runs slow, spinning wheel frequently, cannot run arkaos software, tractor software glitches regularly, L shift is stuck on (presently disabled using Karabiner software
EtreCheck version: 2.0.4 (89)

Macbook Pro early-2011 crashing/locking-up
Hello,
My MacBook Pro (early-2011 model 15") has been locking up and crashing lately. It was recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX.This has happened only a handful of randomn times over the past two months. I don't think it has to do with the OS version because it did this a couple months ago as stated when I had Lion, and also ML. However, in the past 24 hours i have locked up around 5 times and crashed at 3 times. I've attached the crash report below from the latest crash this morning. I use one usb port to connect to a Dell monitor using DisplayLink adapter, and the other usb port goes to a 4-port usb hub that has my wired keyboard, mouse, and phones that I test with plugged into. The mini displayport goes to another Dell monitor. Can anyone help me determine the issue? Does it look to you like the RAM has been corrupted and needs replacing perhaps? Or maybe it is this usb hub causing memory crashes from having so much stuff plugged into it? Log below:

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like more isolation might be needed to rule some things out. I would recommend this article:
OS X Mavericks: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13975
Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of OS X.
Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.If you recently updated the app or OS X, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These tools can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test
Restart your Mac in safe mode.Start up in safe mode
Use Disk Utility to repair your computer’s internal disk.

Yosemite macbook pro early 2011 camera light blinks
I tried to find a similar question that I saw with a Google Search but couldn't find here... But I REALLY like the Yosemite upgrade... I have problems with FaceTime - sometimes I hang up and it continues to ring, and can not connect as reliably as I could in the past with Mavericks... Also, I have noticed that the light near my camera blinks from time to time... On another post, the guy/gal listed when he noticed it blinking... A bit scary as I wonder if when it is blinking it is secretly taking m picture and sending it to some remote location... I use Little Snitch so doubt that pictures are being exfiltrated without my knowledge, but you never know... But bottom line is that I LOVE the Yosemite upgrade! Upgraded relatively smoothly on my MacBook Pro early 2011... upgraded a few of the apps (free upgrades) and after that, and a couple reboots to make sure the upgrades were in place - all is REAL GOOD... GOOD JOB Apple OS/X developers on Yosemite!!!
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Reformatting MacBook Pro (early 2011)
Hi guys, I need help by reformatting my MacBook Pro (early 2011)
I want to reformat it, because the last months it became really slow. I've installed and maybe not correctly uninstalled lots of applications and stuff like this... I just wannt to clean it out, delete all whats on it.
When i bought my MBP it came with OS X Snow Leopard and iLife 11... but NO discs. Afterwards i purchased OS X Lion in the App Store (NO disc). I've checked now on my App Store, and under purchased Apps nothing appears.
After refomratting it, if i am not wrong, OS X SL will be installed, and iLife will be deleted.
But I want the clean MBP with my OS X Lion and my iLife 11 on it. How do i do this? None of them are shown in my App Store under "purchased".
Thanks in advance!
ChristianThat is Completely incorrect. Every Mac computer that came with Snow Leopard or any other earlier version of OS X came with 2 system discs. One is the OS and the other is the iLife Appications disc. If you bought your Mac New then They Were In The Box the computer came in.
If you don't have them, like you didn't know they were in the box and you threw that box out, you can order a replacement set from Apple.
But if you had Lion installed then on the internal drive is the Recovery HD partition. At starup hold down the Command+r keys and that will boot you to the Recovery HD partition and from there you can Erase the Macintosh HD partition and Re-Install Lion. you will need the Apple ID and password that was used to buy Lion originally. It will ask for both of those to start the download of Lion.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Since the 2011 Apple doesn't send any dsiks by purchasing a MBP, so I don't have any iLife disk. So theres no other way to stay with my old iLife apps?
The thing with lion, you say, I can see in Recovery HD if it would reinstall 10.7 before starting or earasing anything? -

Soundflower is a third-party system modification that includes a kernel extension, and therefore has the potential to cause kernel panics. That's all I know about it, because I never install such things myself. The only way to find out whether it's causing your problem is to test without it. -
