  • My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl.  It started when I was printing off the Internet.  Now I get the spinning circle in just about every move.  Any help?

    My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl.  It started when I was printing off the internet.  Now I get a "spinning ball" with many actions.  Any help?

  • Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots

    My Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots recently.
    After I installed 10.5.7 it started happening. When I open anything including system prefs and apple apps the ball appears. I'm on 10.5.8 and it seems to be either as slow or slower. Startup is a bit faster now, but it'll go to the beach ball before I even do anything remotely intensive on the system.
    My computer is almost 3 years old but I don't install any weird software on it and have 30% of my system disk free. I'm an audio guy and use logic, pro tools and generally keep my computer clean.
    I've tried starting another user account to check if its my original user that has the issue, but thats just as slow too.
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Oh yeah, I repaired disk permissions too but it hasn't seemed to have changed anything

    Thanks for the reply Dale.
    I have just tried that and Disk Utility said my MAc HD appears to be ok....????
    So I don't really understand what else I can do...
    I tried using Onyx a couple of months ago but it seemed to make things worse and more temperamental.
    If there is a next level of solutions I could try it would be much appreciated.
    This is what appears when I verify or repair the permissions... I doesn't change if I repair them though.....
    Verify permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Reading permissions database.
    Reading the permissions database can take several minutes.

  • Macbook Pro has slow start up after Time Machine restore

    My 2.4 Ghz Santa Rosa MBP had Ubuntu Hardy and 10.5 on it. I played with Ubuntu for a while and decided to go back to OS X only. I wiped the HDD and reinstalled Leopard, then restored from a time machine back-up. Since then, my MBP has gone to a white blank screen for about 5 or 6 seconds before displaying an apple on start up. What could be causing this? I tried disk utility options, nothing worked, restored from a different back- up with no luck also. Any Ideas? My start up has slowed a very noticeable amount since going back to one OS
    Thanks in Advance

  • Macbook Pro Has Slowed All Of A Sudden

    Hello all..
    I recently brought a Macbook Pro of eBay.
    The machine was flying and I was more than satisfied with it.
    I have just returned from working abroad to finding the Macbook Pro sluggish in its performance, very sluggish indeed giving the specs of it.
    The specs:
    Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 (W/ Turbo Boost)
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    1 TB HD & 1TB HD fitted into CD DRIVE.
    At first I thought this sluggishness was due to it not being used for weeks, but then a thought don't be silly. I later noticed I had to hold the power button down longer than usual to boot it up.. Not the one tap and then bang! your good to go. I did install Mavericks OSX before I departed abroad, but had a good old play around and all was well.
    What could be the problem?

    Try 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.
         Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks 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.
         Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

  • My keyboard is no longer lighting up on my macbook pro...does anyone know how to fix this issue manually?

    My backlight on my macbook pro unibody is not working. The lights do not come on. Does anyone know how to fix this manually? Im also missing screes to the back of my computer holding it in shape. My battery needs to be replaced as well. How do i do all of this? Id also like to replace my RAM.

    For the keyboard backlight:
    Have you tried pressing the "lights on" F-key, that has like a half-round rays of light over a bar symbol (currently F6 on my Mac, but may be different on other models)? If it doesn't work, does anything show on the screen?
    If a crossed-out symbol pops up onscreen when you press the F-key, that means that automatic keyboard lighting is enabled and the Mac thinks surroundings are too bright already. Go to System Preferences / Keyboard and uncheck the "Automatically illuminate keyboard..." item, then try again.
    For the screws:
    Visit www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com and see in their Mac parts section for a replacement screw set. You will need to know your Mac's model, printed on the bottom lid, to ensure you get the correct parts for that particular computer.
    For the RAM:
    While in either of the two places I mentioned above, visit their How-To / DIY section for instructions on how to replace RAM on your Mac. Then visit www.crucial.com, www.corsair.com, www.kingston.com, www.otherworldcomputing.com or any other RAM maker, use their RAM advisor together with your Mac's model to select the correct RAM upgrade kit for your Mac.

  • My ipad is no longer syncing automatically when I connect to my macbook pro.  Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    I've had an ipad since late December 2010.
    In the past, it has always automatically synced when I connect it to my macbook pro.
    Now, when i connect it...nothing happens.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    The first thing to do is to launch iTunes on your Mac. Go to Preferences - under the iTunes heading in the menu at the top. Click on Devices. Make sure that you uncheck the box next to - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes and restart your Mac.
    Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the Devices heading on the left side of iTunes. Then click on the Summary Tab at the top right side of the iTunes window. Put a checkmark (select) in the box next to  - Open iTunes when this iPad is Connected. Make sure that all of the other boxes are checked as you desire according to what you want to sync. Click - Apply - in the lower right corner to sync.
    Disconnect your iPad after syncing. Quit iTunes. Then connect your iPad again and iTunes should launch and sync automatically.

  • On MacBook Pro, trashing anything requires password. How to fix so it doesn't. Also, finder window won't reopen in same place. How to fix?

    On my MacBook Pro, trashing files and folders requires that I input my password. How do I fix it so that I don't have to do that every time? Also, finder windows won't reopen in same place and configuration that I left them in when I closed them. How do I fix this?

    My guess is that you are storing your files on the root level of your HD. If so, move the files in to your user folder and you shouldn't get password prompts.
    Once you close a finder window you cannot continue that session. You can set the default location that a finder window opens however. Click on the finder, from the menubar select FInder/Preferences then click on the "General" tab. Where it says "New Finder windows open", you can select any folder on your drive as the default. My sggestion would be to set it to your User folder where you should be storing your files.

  • My MacBook pro has slowed to a stop after upgrading from lion to mountain lion three days ago. Apps started freezing, now it has trouble even starting up. So disappointed with Apple right now.

    Mountain lion has caused my MacBook to freeze up and fail to even start up.

    Glad to hear that!  Often, a drive that has minor corruption that has gone unnoticed will melt down when a major system install writes tens of thousands of new files.  That's probably what happened to you.  In the future, you should always reboot in recovery mode (hold down command-R at startup) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility prior to any system update or upgrade.
    Regarding iLife, what system did your machine originally come with?  If Snow Leopard or earlier, the iLife apps will be on one of the gray disks that your machine shipped with (the one labeled "Applications").  Alternately, if you bought newer versions in the App Store, simply open the App Store and click Purchases...  they should show up there.
    If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you should be able to re-download iLife from the App Store.  There's information on how that is done here:

  • 2007 17 inch Macbook Pro has slow graphics

    After updating to iLife 11, my MBP suddenly has very slow graphics perfomrance! It used to be able to handle 1080p video just fine, NOW IT CAN BARELY HANDLE 720P! Can someone please help me? What can I do?

    Ok, if you're on SL, Bootcamp is probably still at v3.x. Lion came with v4.0, but no matter, since the drivers are machine-specific. IIRC, an Early 2011 15" MBP should already have the twin integrated Intel/AMD Radeon GPU setup, with 512MB or so of dedicated VRAM. One issue I can think up as being the problem would be if Win7 got stuck on using just the Intel GPU, which is drastically less capable than the AMD, instead of switching. Since I have not delved in the depths of Windows, would not know how to probe its interaction with the hardware, especifically to ensure that switching between the GPUs is occurring or at least that the faster of the two gets enabled if no autoswitching can take place. Maybe there's a utility out there to check it out?
    Also and to be on the safe side, might want to run an Apple Hardware Test to confirm that all is OK on the hardware side:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

  • Macbook Pro 2011 slowed significantly to the point of unusable.

    At first I deleted Gigabytes worth of unused songs, movies, documents, etc. No change. Did disk repair and disk permissions repair.
    Kernel_task was taking up 560% of CPU. Backed up HD and did a factory reset. This stopped the kernel_task but was still slow. Reset PRAM and SMC. A little faster but still slow. Any other fixes I should try? I should also mention the battery is shot but I don't know if that would affect speed. Have re-tried disk permissions repair. I paid for the update to mountain lion. It began to slow sometime after that. It was then later updated to Mavericks and an unknwon amoutn of time afterwards became unusable. Now it's back to 10.6

    If the OSX does not detect a functional battery it will throttle the CPU.
    Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set %CPU to display values from high to low.  Post an image.

  • When I plug my iPhone 5 into my Macbook air it just repeatedly flashes the trust question whilst vibrating and will not connect. My iPad connect to the macbook fine tho. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I want to connect my iPhone to my macbook to backup all my photos but it just vibrates constantly and flashes the trust computer question over and over.
    Any help would be great.

    Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.
