Macbook pro heats up after installing lion

Hi
My macbook pro 15 inch 2,66 Ghz 4 gb 1067Mhz DDR3. makes al lot of fan noise since i've installd os lion.
Im sure it was absolutely scilent before. If i run just safari and mail it makes a lot of noise as if im working on a heavy file in Photoshop.
I've seen many complains about this in fora everywhere, but i havn't found a solutution. Can anybody help?

Lion is a ressource hog and bogs down the CPU all the time. It is just so. Depending on the power of your machine it is accepatable or not. Remember that everything from top to ground in Lion is running in 64bit mode now unlike in Snow. That has a impact on the processor , the graphics and the Ram.

My macbook pro runs slow after install of lion

i was wondering if anyone is having any issues after installing lion and doing the 10.7.3 update? i noticed a slow performance after i did the update. i also added 8 gigs of memory hoping this would help, but it didnt i also formatted the drive install snow leo and my boot time was 2 minutes i upgraded to lion and my boot time jumps to 6 plus minutes. i have run the disk permission finds some problems then repair but still my macbook runs slow HELP ME!!!!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the times of the log messages referring to boot times. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the time of the most recent boot when you had the problem. Post the messages logged during the time when you had the problem – the text, please, not a screenshot. For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time. If the problem is a crash or a shutdown hang, post the messages from before the boot time, when the system was about to crash or was failing to shut down.
Edit out excessive repeats and personal information, if any.
If the log doesn't go back far enough in time, scroll down in the Console file list to /private/var/log/system.log.0.bz2. Search the archived log, and if necessary the older ones below them, for the same information.
Step 2
Do the same with kernel.log.
Step 3
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please do not post shutdownStall or hang logs – they're very long and not helpful.

Why is my MacBook Pro very slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.5. - Solutions?

Hello, hello
After waiting quite a while - I paid the relatively small amount, and got myselves a new OS.
But I am very disappointed of the speed - I see that this also was a problem with OS Lion?
Please assist me. Perhaps others have this problem as well?
Some info:
- 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
- 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Also
- Sometimes I run the Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 software, does this affect specs of the new OS?
Hope to hear from you guys.
Sincerely,
Harald

With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
What should I do?
Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
But there is a major difference!
-They have a black screen after they login.
-My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
Until now, nothing!
Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.

Macbook Pro heating up after Lion upgrade (time machine)

Hello,
After the upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion I noticed my mid 2009 macbook pro 13" started heating up quickly. After some time trying to figure out what could be the cause I found TIME MACHINE to be the point. The automatic backups takes much longer than on SL, sometimes never finishes. Then I have had to turn time machine off. But this isn't the way I want to go on my Mac.
Any suggestion about this? My backup device is an USB HDD connected to an Airport Extreme.

Removing all old Snow Leopard backups and starting new backups from the scratch (with Lion) seemed to fix the problem.

MacBook Pro runs slow after Mountain Lion installation

I have a mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro with 2.2g Ghz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB encrypted disc.
After installing Mountain Lion and the recent upgrade OS X 10.8.1 (12B19), the system runs noticibly slower than with Lion, which ran slower than the previous version. This shows up in opening and closing programs, rate that drop down windows appear when something is clicked on the task bar, rate that windows open and close, rate that the dock comes up and the icons expand when the curser is moved over them, etc.
Due to my type of work, I need to encrypt the disc. I know this is costing me some speed. I unencrypted the disc and it ran noticably faster, and when I re-encrypted it seemed to run faster than before unencrptying and re-encripting. I have repaired permissions and verified the disk OK.
Somewhere in the build up to Mountain Lion release I thought I read where 4 GB of ram was recomended for Mountain Lion, allthough now the specs indicate 2 GB is OK. In activity monitor, the pie chart for system memory seems to always remain less than about 40% of active memory (yellow).
What recomendations does the community have to increase the speed of operations back to when this system was new?
Dave

I was having the exact same problem. My MacBook Pro was seriously close to unusable how slow it was. On a different thread, someone recommended I reset the VRAM and PVRAM (not sure about those initials). Shut down computer. Rebooted while holding down Command-Option-P-R all at the same time until I heard the second startup tone and then released. I noticed an improvement in performance immediately.

Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks

I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)
I spotted other people advise running EtreCheck, here are my results:

CleanMyMac is probably your problem.
CleanMyMac is crapware.
Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize", "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install.

MacBook Pro not charging after OSX Lion 10.7.2 upgrade

After making the upgrade to OSx Lion 10.7.2 my MacBook Pro 2011 (2 months old) does not charge anymore, before worked perfectly.
Magsafe led was off, and battery indicator said power source is not connected. After the battery drained to empty, the magsafe turned on, but goes green to orange to off in cycles. During the cycles, the battery indicator was cycling also from calculating, not charging, etc. and the display was dimming like if I was plugin in and plugin off the magsafe connector. After having the computer connected during all night, now is charged but magsafe does not charge anymore.
I tried the SMC reset and chacked that firmware is up to date. Any clues of what is going on?

Thanks a lot for replying, but what exactly does the istat widget program do?
Also, the fan noise seems like a normal noise every time I launch a program, but it's getting to the point where I am frustrated(annoyed) of the fan noise. I would've thought that upgrading to a Mac book would cause less fan noise because of it's high processor. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to a Dell or HP because of this problem, but at the same time, I love my laptop. ;)

as well as this adware:

You can use either the manual method or download the app to do it for you:

If your system is still sluggish after ridding your computer of these unwanted things, then consider installing additional RAM - 4 GB is considered the absolute minimum to run Yosemite.

Macbook Pro route probelm after installing 10.4.6

My wife just unpacked her new Macbook pro -- my first impressed is how fast it was. Amazing machine.
With the machine set up to 10.4.5 the wirless works flalessly, however after upgrading to 10.4.6 DHCP no longer appears to negotiate an address (the IP address using the network tool is 169.254.189.105) - and yes, I have associated with the same router used with 10.4.5
I have attempted to manually assign an IP address, gateway, and DNS server to no avail. At that point, I have flushed the routing table and (route flush as root) but I can not ping my gateway...
10.4.6 on my Powerbook, and her old iBook both work fine It looks like I have a problem unique to the macbookpro.
I have installed no software on the system except for software on the apple restore DVD's, and the 10.4.6 patch. No other software has been added.

I would suggest you try downloading the 10.4.6 Combo Updater (Intel) and re-applying the update. Oftentimes using the combo updater can fix problems such as these.
Be sure to configure Network preferences to use DHCP. It also can't hurt to shutdown everything for about one minute, then restart the cable/DSL modem first and wait for the status light to indicate communication with the ISP, then start the router and wait for the status light to indicate communication with the modem, and last start the Mac.

MacBook Pro running hot after Mt. Lion upgrade

MacBook Pro mid-2009 2.53 with 8GB RAM and 750GB 7200 rpm harddrive: CPU seems to be running much hotter (>70 degrees C) and fan is the normal 2000 rpm per iStat after upgrading to Mt. Lion 10.8.1 and 10.8.2. Bottom of laptop near center screen side is the hottest area. Any ideas why? Or how to cool it off again to the way it was before the upgrade from Lion?
Thanks.

Thanks for your links. My MacBook fan was running constantly from switch on and the underside was getting very hot. Using your first link, I followed the Activity Monitor instructions and found that Dashboard was using '117%'. As soon as I closed it down the fan instantly slowed and after only a few seconds switched off..
Thanks again..
