Macbook Pro extremely sluggish with new Wi-Fi service on Lion

I just got new Charter wi-fi service, and my Macbook Pro with Lion is extremely sluggish when loading webpages. The speedtest is fine. Other Windows computers in the area seem to work fine.

Hello there, miwaford.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting Wi-Fi:

Power unit from older MacBook Pro - using it with newer model

I once had a MacBook Pro, one of the early version, bought somewhere in August 2006. Now I have the power unit that is left from it. I want to use it with my current MacBook Pro which is newer model, but not the one which is currently sold - it is NOT the unibody model, it looks exactly like the previous model, but with better spec, and the notable difference is that on the previous model the green diode near camera had a single hole, and the newer model has lots of tiny miniholes there, which makes it completely invisible unless the diode is lit.
(unfortunately I have no idea how to identify those two models more correctly - model numbers or whatever)
When I compare the power units - the one which I have with my current model, and the one which is left from the previous, the newer is a bit smaller, and the power output markings are a bit differently organised, not totally identical, but they show what I understand is same voltage/amperage.
I'm still a bit cautious about using the power unit from the older model. Did anyone tried it, is it safe?

Next time you can use Mactracker to identify your machines exactly:

Go to >About this Mac>More Info and you will see the Model Name and Model Identifier.
Good luck!

If you choose to use garbage such as "Intego VirusBarrier" you are going to need more memory, a lot more. I suggest you uninstall it according to its instructions, and evaluate your Mac's performance without burdening it with completely useless junk. As long as Intego remains active, your Mac will have few resources remaining to do anything else.
Using Intego's "Virus Barrier" and "Net Barrier" products on a brand new Mac containing nothing but one minimally configured user account resulted in performance degradation so severe that it became nearly unusable. No knowledgeable Mac user would consider using it even remotely tolerable.
Intego should only be uninstalled using the uninstaller included with it. Don't use anything else. A successful uninstallation will result in the following:
After that, restart your Mac. Other Intego components will remain but they will be inert and will not affect your Mac's operation.

MACBook Pro - Extremely Slow with Freezes

Hi,
I have this macbook pro model
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro9,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:          2.5 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          4 GB
And with 385 GB out of 499 GB of free memory.
I have practically nothing on it, no huge files & not more than the basic apps., nothing !
However, I have a very slow response. Word sometimes takes a minute to open when I only have just Chrome running in the background.
It gets worse when many apps are running together, but even then its only basic apps nothing major. Safari would normaly take not less than 20 seconds to open. I have just dropbox thaat run automatically after start up but nothign else. Still most of the time I am faced with the slow response. The spinning beack ball is always on to, which makes me force quit alot of time.
My battery is working quite well
Thanks for the feedback !

Macbook Pro Extremely hot with NO cpu usage

I have a Macbook pro 15" (Mid-2010). Recently my mac is running extremly hot specially when connected to the AC power.
I'm using iStat Pro to monitor sensors, and while charging sometimes CPU reaches 101 degrees celsius. When I detach the power cord, it stays at about 80-85 degrees. My cpu usage is normal, about 1-4%. All the bottom of my mac feels hot, specially under the CPU, but the middle parts too. Fans are also working with highest speed.
Is it a known hardware problem?
Another problem which I've had around the same time, I use "Hardware Growler" to check for usb connections. When I connect a USB flash disk, sometimes it shows a lot of connections and disconnections for Keyboard, Trackpad, IR Remote and stuff. Pushing the usb around doesn't show the same symptom, so it's not a broken board or connector or something.
Have you seen a similar problem? What can I do?

I've solved my problem by resetting PRAM and SMC. I'm writing my solution here so others can try it if they have the same problems.
To reset PRAM, follow instructions in this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
and to reset SMC, follow this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
I think my problem started when I upgraded Parallels Desktop to version 7 (from version 6). I'm not sure if it was the cause, but some kernel extension in parallels could've corrupted SMC and/or PRAM.

Can install a new os x snow leopard in a macbook pro 2006 aluminum with new 120 gb hard drive?

hope somen can help me..

Yes, you can. Back up your data, ensure that the computer has at least 1GB of RAM, and buy a retail DVD from the online Apple Store if you don't already have one.

How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

4GB memory on new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor &128GB flash storage

Hello,
I'm completely new to the mac world but I'm fed up with pc's and all the insanity with processor problems, viruses, etc. I'm seriously looking at replacing my HP laptop with the new MacBook Pro Retina 13 with 2.4GHz dual core i5 processor, 4GB memory (RAM) & 128GB flash storage, OS X Mavericks (not sure which version). My concern is whether this will be reliably & consistantly fast & smooth both in desktop apps & internet use. I don't need it to do somersaults or anything too advanced. I would mostly be using Pages & spreadsheet apps & internet. It would double as my daughter's computer for cyber school so it's crucial that it runs quickly & efficiently. If she can't complete everything on time or log in to her online sessions because of a computer issue we'll be up a creek without a paddle since this particular cyber school's tech department is still working off of pc's running Windows XP. My father, thus far a pc user, thought I should consider moving up to 8GB memory but I was hoping that with flash storage being faster, I would be able to avoid the extra $100 for the upgrade to 8GB. My biggest fear is finding myself as frustrated & angry as I am now with all of my pc's, ready to take a sledge hammer to them because they take forever to boot, launch apps, internet or do just about anything (that is if they're even fuctioning at all- not joking). Does anyone have any advice or input? Thanks!!
P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model? I realize this may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find anything online indicated that Apple has released a model newer than what was released late last year (October 2013, I believe), except that the model released then came with SSD storage instead of flash.

No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record. In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support. The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section. I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.
Ciao.

My old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac can I use my cs4 with my new computer?

MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?

Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

New macbook pro 2012 preinstalled with lion can't be reinstalled?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to mac os x and I just bought a new macbook pro 13" four days ago which came preinstalled with mac os x lion. I tried to do a clean install on the third day to experience doing it myself for the first time. here's what I did:
1st try
@DU I perform erase Macintosh HD, set the partition table to GUID, partitioned the drive,
exit DU and then selected reinstall mac os x from the mac os x utilities,
I just clicked continue, continue, then it did some eligibility checking and verification.
after a while the dialog window showed this message " This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
there's no other option below than quit.
2nd try
restarted macbook then pressed down option+command+r
the globe logo came out. I connected to my home wifi and a progress bar indicator came out. after the progress bar completed, the Mac os x utilities came out.
I selected reinstall mac os x from the mac ox x util. I clicked on continue, continue.. an eligibility and verification followed and after a while I got the same message saying "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
3rd try
I restarted macbook again and pressed down option+command+r
I did the steps from the 1st try again but I still get the same message "This version of Mac OS X 10.7 cannot be installed on this computer."
Can anyone help me out on how to reinstall Lion? or did I missed out anything? or should I send this macbook for repair? or just return it?
appreciate any advice...thanks.

I remember something similar happening when OS X Lion was first released. At that time, the mid-2011 MacBook Air hit the store shelves and many users could not do a full reinstall from the Apple Servers. The reason, was that the MacBook Air had a specialized version of OS X Lion with a build number that has 4 numbers (i.e. build 11AXXXX) following the OS release number. In contrast, the release version of OS X at the time was 11A511 which uses 2 or 3 numbers and is a universal version of OS X that can be used by any Mac. The reason why you are experiencing problems installing OS X Lion is because you got the newest MacBook Pro which has a specialized build of OS X Lion and as in previous cases, it has 4 numbers meaning that it is a specialized version of OS X.
You appear to be running the following version of OS X Lion:
As you can see, it's an exclusive and optimized version of OS X for your MacBook. Your only hope is that Apple releases the OS X 10.7.5 release which most likely be universal with all Macs.
I suggest going to the Genius Bar to sort things out.
Hope my little explanation helps.

Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6?

Well its been a long time visiting the discussions for me, just after the new format, and I still hate it and it does seem painfully slow, but have a question. Now to figure out How to Post it.
Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6 ? Hate losing Rosetta. Whoops, search came up with this.
Actually you can, at this time, downgrade the new MBPs to SL if you have the correct version od SL. You need at least 10.6.7 for it to work on the current run of MBPs. Once they come out with a newer, 2012, MBPs I have no idea if SL could be installed.
Guess I better hurry.
Anyone disagree? It use to be you would get a msg saying No. But from looking I see some places in the states selling them with 10.6 installed and a free upgrade to 10.7. Not that option here.
So where is that enter key to post

Then what is this?
MBP Model 8.2 i7 2.2 SMC version 1.69f3.
Really I don't lie and I am getting tired of people calling me a lier.
Thanks.
I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

New Macbook pro retina but with different keyboard ?

Can I buy the new macbook pro retina 13' in HK but with a French keyboard ? I don't find the option online.. thanks!

No computer is fault free but Apple MBPs have a good track record. In those cases where problems do arise, Apple has the best support in the industry.
A MBP with 4 GB RAM with the SSD storage should be adequate for your needs.

P.s. On Apple's site I found a refurbished late 2013 model of the MacBook Pro Retina 13 with all of the same specs as listed above (4GB, not 8GB), running OS X (doesn't say which one) but for a bit less than a brand new one. Is this the same model as what they're currently selling new in their store or did they just upgrade everything to match what is being offered in the current "new" model?
The latest MBP models came out in October 2013, so it will be the same, with the same warranty and telephone support. The difference will be that the price will be less and it will be delivered in a plain white box.
I have purchased three MBPs from the refurbished section. I have never been able to detect any cosmetic differences and will go that route again.
Ciao.

Brand new Macbook Pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram lagging in the simplest tasks

I received a brand new 13 inch macbook pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram (16 gb) about two weeks ago. I was expecting it to do tasks faster than its predecessors (the macbook pro which came directly before it, which my father owns, and the early 2009 which is now a family computer), but became dissapointed when it began crashing basically as soon as i started using final cut pro, and ever since it has been lagging everywhere else! I have check my activity monitor regulary due to this issue and have noticed "kernel_task" taking a large percentage of CPU (when im not using the computer all that much around 10%) and it uses 1.5gb of ram upwards constantly without fail! I am aware that this is the operating system so i dont really want to fiddle around with it but it does sound a little bit high to me. Originally it was slightly tougher work on final cut that would crash it, hence why i haven't seriously questioned it until now, but currently i cannot even move my curser around without getting the spinning beach ball of death! Please help me!

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.
