  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • Macbook pro still slow after erase

    Hi everyone,
    I have a slow performance problem on my macbook pro that I cannot solve. I tried already everything I could find here (see below) but nothing worked so far and that´s why I´m posting a new thread.
    PROBLEM: Macbook got suddenly incredibly slow.
    Start up takes up to 10 minutes (around 7 min for booting to log in, another 3 min before I can open any app). Shut down is faster but takes still longer than it used to. Moreover any single click takes ages while using the machine and I constantly get spinning beach balls even if I just check drop-down menus. Basically any operation takes ages now and I cannot work properly. Also audio stream from iTunes is not fluid and I get audio interruptions quite often. All of this was a sudden change: my macbook pro was always working fast and good. I cannot track back the start of this behavior to any update, installation or particular event. I don´t use my computer very often, do not install any crap, and only 200 GB or so were occupied on the disk.
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED ALREADY:
    - Checking activity monitor: nothing seems to be wrong here
    - Utility Disk: SMART status of HDD is ok. Verified disk and permissions and repaired whatever had to be repaired (apparently only some permissions)
    - Restarted in safe mode and then normally booted
    - Reset PRAM
    - Reinstalling Mavericks
    - Went to an authorized store where they did an hardware check, said everything looked fine and suggested erase+fresh install
    - Erased disk (after a complete backup) and did a fresh Mavericks install
    None of this has worked. I now have a Macbook pro that should be as new but problem remained the same.
    SYSTEM:
    Macbook pro 13´ from 2012
    OS X Mavericks
    HDD 750 GB
    RAM 8 GB
    (let me know if more information is needed)
    Some have suggested upgrading the RAM or the HDD or to change the HDD but I cannot believe the system all of a sudden needs more power (given that I don´t use it that much and it´s just two years old) or that the HDD fails after just 2 years!!
    After weeks of struggling I am a bit frustrated and I hope someone can help.
    Thank you

  • New MacBook Pro Running Slow after repairs?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have 3 month old MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM running Leopard 10.5.5 which I bought back in June.
    It was working beautifully until a month ago when it suddenly had a problem where the trackpad, the keyboard and the left had USB port stopped working, but it would work with an external keypad and mouse through the right hand USB port.
    I took it o the recommended Apple service centre and the fixed it in a few days by replacing the trackpad the keyboard, the uSB port and the logic board.
    It all works again but has been running really slow ever since, even taking a long time to open up folders and about 4 times as long as it used to to copy files to USB flash drives.
    Any ideas on things I can try to fix it up?

    Thanks,
    Yes I just checked and there's still 4GB or RAM. Another thing I've noticed to day is that the Hard Drive seem to be making a bit of general low background noise when nothing is going on and the activity monityor says not much is happenning. From memory it used to be quieter in the past.

  • 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.

  • Bought new Macbook Pro.  Can I install new OS on old iMac?

    I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro and it has Snow Leopard on it.
    Can I use the Snow Leopard disks that came with the Macbook to install Snow Leopard on my other iMac computer? I'm hoping to wipe clean the iMac because it's sluggish after nearly 3 years of use and it is also cluttered with so much crap a complete clean install would do it some good.
    Thanks!

    The short answer is maybe. Because many of the Os installation disks that came with a Mac will only install on that type of Mac. There is a file on the install CD that determines what models that CD can install on. You would give it a try and it should let you know before you wipe the iMac clean and actually install Snow Leopard.

  • Macbook Pro 2011: slow after yosemite upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to yosemite, and during the installation, the installation bar stopped at about halfway and stayed there for hours. Knowing that it was going nowhere, I powered the computer down and turned it on again. After this, the installation appeared to be completed because it let me actually use the computer, but it was painfully slow. So I redownloaded yosemite and tried to reinstall it. However, the installation got stuck at the same spot, and another manual reset resulted in use of the computer, albeit at a snail's pace.
    So I tried to reset the PRAM, then i tried starting in safe mode, then i tried booting normally, none of which worked. After reading on these forums, I found out about Etrecheck, I was able to download it and ran it yesterday. Here are the results:
    Problem description:

    Please and thank you for your help. I am currently writing ~2 words before the loading wheel comes up and stops me from typing for about 10 seconds.

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive or other storage device to hold the data.
    1. Start up from the Recovery partition, from Internet Recovery, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you use FileVault 2, then you must first unlock the startup volume. Select its icon ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. Enter your login password when prompted.
    2. If Method 1 fails because of disk errors, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    3. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    4. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • 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 runs slow after sleep mode.

    This issue has bothered me for a long time already.
    And because of this, I have re-installed the OS many times.
    But apparently, re-installing the OS does not help.
    The machine will runs slow again after a certain period of time.
    So, here is my problem.
    When you do the four finger down swipe, there will be a zooming out effect, right?
    (The same function as pressing F3, which let you knows how many applications you have opened)
    This zooming out effect is smooth when I first bought my Macbook Pro.
    It is smooth too after I re-install the OS.
    But now, after a period of time, this effect becomes so choppy and slow.
    As I mentioned above, I tried re-installing the OS. It works, but only works for a few days.
    And then it becomes choppy again.
    The only solution is to reboot my machine.
    Can anyone suggest me what to do?
    I guess I have to re-install the OS again tonight... LOL

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk instead of re-installing.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
