Macbook Pro heating up and draining battery after yosemite upgrade.

On Friday, I upgraded to Yosemite and I really like it. However my computer keeps heating up very quickly when doing simple tasks and the battery also drains. About 1% every 2 minutes when on Safari and having Pages open in the background. What can I do to slow down the battery drain. Before, on Mavericks I could get a whole day on Safari but now about half a day.
This is the report that I got from EtreCheck.

  • MacBook Pro: Blank Screen and Random Crashes After Yosemite Update

    Hello All!
    So I'm living with the regret of updating my MacBook Pro to Yosemite. My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 version, and ever since I updated it - I literally cannot turn off the computer because when I go to turn it on, the screen is completely black. Performing the flashlight trick, the computer eventually lights up, on average three minutes later. However, that's not the only issues I have been having. My computer constantly loses WiFi signal and is crashing every two hours or so. It's not even that I have a lot of programs running; I literally only have Chrome running... So I'm not sure what I should do now. Is it even because of the Yosemite update?! Help please?!

  • MacBook Pro 13 early 2011 running slow after Yosemite upgrade

    Ihave a early 2011 Macbook Pro 13 and ever since downloading Yosemite from Mavericks my computer speed decreased significantly for every function. I moved over all huge image and music files and still just little progress. So ran report on EtreCheck:

    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.
    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.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MacBook Pro will not finsih booting up after Yosemite upgrade

    I upgraded my 2013 MacBook Pro to Yosemite last night, but I encountered a problem when I tried booting up this morning. Whenever I turn my MacBook on, the progress bar slowly begins to load, and then it disappears and I see a grey circle with a slash through it, like a "not allowed" sign. Is there any way I can fix this? Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Crystalmirror,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it can be both frustrating and concerning when your computer will not startup as expected. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article to help resolve the issue.

  • MacBook Pro heating up and fans at full speed

    MacBook Pro heating up and gets extremely hot and fans constantly at full speed after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 without even launching any applicaiton previously I was on Mavericks, I checked Activity monitor and a process called kexts is always running and have a large percentage of the CPU load I tried reinstalling Yosemite and the same problem happens.
    MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011, 2.4 Ghz Intel Dual Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD graphics 3000 512 mb.

    Thank you That solved my issue I uninstalled Cisco anytime connect. My console had that kernel running in the background giving the error every second.

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

    My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

    Hello Adam,
    I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

  • Airplay video and audio choppy after Yosemite upgrade

    i can not play music or audio reliably using AirPlay after Yosemite upgrade, it's quite choppy until I turn off Bluetooth mouse.
    Has anone come across this issue or figured out how to fix it.

    I've had a similar issue with a not very fluid stream of mirrored or extended display in Yosemite. Even my iPad's mirror image came out shoppy. So I followed some threads advice and turned off bluetooth on the AppleTV and now I can even play games without having to look at the iPad.
    Even streaming a movie from my Mac is possible in mirrored / extended mode (if it's nothing too important as there are occasionally frame drops here and there) but very few in comparison with bluetooth on. 
    Hope this helps. I'm sure Apple will have a fix ready soon enough.

  • My macbook pro turns on and shuts off after about thirty seconds

    After force shutting my computer by holding the on button, my macbook pro will not start up anymore. It displays the loading screen for around thirty to forty seconds, but shuts off immediately after that. My battery is in good condition and works fine.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi ltksm,
    If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro shutting down unexpectedly, you may want to try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller). You may find the following article helpful:

  • I bought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid 2014, and my battery cycle count is on 2!!

    As I said on the question, a brand new MacBook Pro I bought recently which I haven't even put on charge yet already has a cycle count of 2!
    I'm just curious if this is normal and I want to make sure that I received a brand "new" one not a refurbished one.
    Did anyone else order a new laptop and have cycle charge of 2 or more and is this normal or not?

    The factory charges the battery, one cycle, they may then test that particular MacBook Pro as part of the production testing and it ends up with another cycle.  Two cycles is not something to worry about.  If you bought the unit from an Apple store or directly from Apple, it will not be a refurbished MBPr unless they specifically said it was.  They don't do things like that.

  • Got my macbook pro in december and my battery health has dropped to 91

    Hi
    My macbook pro that i purchased in the middle of december has a battery health of 91 percent, it only has 11 cycles and i was wonndering if this is normal?
    Thanks

    If it is running 10.7.5, I'm not surprised.  Any MacBook Pro gotten last month should at minimum have had 10.8 something if not 10.9 something, unless you bought it refurbished or used.

  • Macbook pro heats up and fans go crazy as soon as I plug in charger, SMC reset doesnt help

    Hi all, my problem is that my 2011 MBP heats up and fans speed up (a lot) as soon as I plug the charger in. There's no other apparent reason. No heavy CPU usage at all, SMC reset did nothing at all. It only started recently and it goes away as soon as I plug the charger out. Laptop also has an SSD fitted into it. Someone please help, thanks

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2012 not starting up after Yosemite Update

    I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2012 model , enrolled into Yosemite Public Beta Program ...
    After the official public launch , app store suggested that i rather update from beta 5 to beta 6 , as downloading extra 5 gig of OS data seemed unnecessary for me , I just updated from the app store.
    Post the update , after shutting down my MacBook , I tried starting it up after 8 hours , it failed to respond to any of my prompts .
    Keyboard not responding
    Power Button not responding
    Li-Po Battery indicator alone works ,
    When plugged MagSafe , it indicates charging .
    The Sleep Indicator (in the front - that of hard disk drive ) blinks occasionally.
    Later, when i tried powering up with MagSafe , It booted luckily , after some 20 hours of work , i shut the system down ,
    Again when i tried booting up  , it failed .
    The problem persists since 3 days.
    I tried booting up in Safe Mode - No result
    Tried Verbose Booting up - No result
    Cleared NV RAM - No result
    Cleared SMC as Apple instructed for Intel Based MacBooks - No result.
    Removed Battery and kept aside for a while , After an hour tried powering up , It booted up , Went till Apple Logo , The loading bar was some 45%
    Then it started to go down with a black screen ,
    It never starts up again.
    After regular intervals of removing and installing battery , it starts up to white screen and goes off.
    I am really worried and desperate now.
    I am not sure whether my HDD is dead or my Battery is dead  or my Logic board is dead or my Yosemite Install was not right ?
    After hours of online research , nothing seems to be helpful .
    People at Apple Care (Premium ReSeller , India) are so irresponsible in attending the issue ,
    They say its helpless without even doing some basic troubleshoot.
    Where would it have went wrong and What am i supposed to do now ?
    PLEASE HELP !!

    darkrider92,
    I have the same model MacBook Pro as the one that you got from your mom. Were you able to install the 10.6.8 update successfully onto the factory drive? Were you using the factory RAM when you tried to install the 10.6.8 update on the SSD?
    Have you checked  the Web site of the SSD’s manufacturer, to see if there’s a firmware update available for the SSD?
    You can download the 10.6.8 update outside of Software Update from Apple here; in case you need to try to install this update several times, running it from your local disk would be more convenient than waiting for it to download again.

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!

    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
