Macbook pro is slowing or freezing when using fcp x

I am having a nightmare with FCP X performance.  It just can't be right that problems I am having are normal.  I have a new macbook pro with 2.6Ghz , 16GB Ram, 512 SSD and connected to a lacie thunderbolt rugged drive.  Just about as good as it gets outside a monster mac pro right.  When editing the projects I am getting consistent delays of a second or more and randomly I get ones that are longer and the machine freezes completely.  When I try and look into it on activity monitor the only thing that seems to be taxed is the RAM but even that does not seem to be maxed.  Sometime if I clip on another app there is a delay and I thought maybe that could be because FCP X is hogging the RAM but can't tell. All software is up to date. The projects do have mixed frame rates and resolutions but that should be ok.  I have not even started to colour correct yet, there are a number of retiming and effects but nothing much. 
It is driving me crazy as I am looking to use shortcuts and keyboard commands but I am constantly waiting….. very…very..frustrating.  I have set prefs to better performance and tried proxy editing while editing.  I have switched of background editing as well.  I can not use this software anymore if this is what I must get used to.  Please can anyone help with this as it is going to cost me money.  I have been using FCPX for a while and don't want to have to learn a new one when this should work.
I am still unsure if I should render only when in original footage pref and if I shouod render before exporting.  I do render as I thought it would output a lower bit rate if not.
Thanks for your time and any advice is welcome

With such a machine the slowness is *not* normal. Does it happen *all the time*? 
You are right that low RAM is often the cause of slowdowns, but that would happen if your free RAM is in the tens of MB - it does not seem to be the case.
Do you have many projects and events available? All these take up RAM. You can disable the projects and events that you are not working on - use Event Manager or manually create a "Final Cut Events - Hidden" and a "Final Cut Projects - Hidden" folder and move unused events and projects in the Finder (while FCP X is not running).
The usual first recommendation is to trash your preferences. All sorts of misbehavior can occur if the preferences files get corrupted. Use Preference Manager (free from Digital Rebellion) to trash your preferences.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 2013 15" freezes when using safari

    I have a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15" 2.7ghz, 16gb Ram with 512 gb SSD.  Since the recent EFI update and the OSX 10.8.3 update, when I have been using Safari, my mac has become very sluggish and I get the spinning beachball whihch doesn't clear.  I have only had this MacBook for 17 days.  has anyone else had this problem?

    hope there will be a fix soon…
    Yours is not a common problem, and no fix for it will be forthcoming automatically anytime soon.
    The symptoms you describe could indicate a failing Hard drive, and you should set all else aside and make certain your Backups are completely up-to-date.
    "Any drive can fail at any time."
    In cases like this, a visit to the Genius Bar is really the best solution. Your appointment at the Genius Bar for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out.
    For problems with a physical component, or slowness problems, they have the tools and the expertise to quickly make things right. Their diagnostics also can give you the warm fuzzy feeling that the Hardware seems to be operating correctly.

  • My macbook pro (August 2010) keeps freezing when apple mail starts up. This happens every 2nd time I turn on my Macbook Pro. This forces me to hold down the power button to restart my Macbook Pro. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a fix? Thx

    since upgrading to OS lion, my mac book pro (2010 August) keeps freezing (non responsive, requires restart) when i turn on my mac and the system is trying to open apple mail. while apple mail is attempting to collect new mail, the macbook pro freezes. this happens every 2nd time i try to start up my computer. this only started happening after i upgraded to OS lion. please let me know what I need to do to fix this. being forced to restart every 2nd time i turn on my macbook pro has been very frustrating. not sure if apple mail is also the cause of my macbook pro for being very slow during start-up (on the occasion the computer doesn't freeze).

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • MacBook Pro Unibody (late 2008) crash when using GeForce 9600M GT

    Every time I do heavy 3D rendering or play 3D games (such World of Warcraft) with the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT, after few minutes my MacBook Pro (unibody, late 2008) freezes, black screen and audio looping, no actions possibile, only hard shutdown... No problems with the 9400M.
    What should I do? Get a replacement?

    I've had mine for a little less than two months and I noticed the overheating shortly after I got it. I think it's mostly because the fans don't spin up soon enough because the SMC controller on mine does not work properly and even if you reset it, it reverts back to only spinning the fans after a cpu/gpu temps over 90 degrees Celsius (almost boiling point!).
    Mine is currently in for service but I'm being told that they haven't been able to duplicate the issue so I don't understand what method of testing they are using. I hope they don't keep my computer in repair for a long time. I know that if I fire up the Black & White 2 Demo, Call of Duty 4, or Spore and play for about 10-20 minutes the computer crashes if the fans don't spin up... Apple released a firmware update for the SMC controller but it doesn't apply to my model which is a MacBookPro 5,1 , maybe Apple doesn't realize yet how widespread the fan problem even on the late 2008 model is but it needs to be resolved and a third party utility to control the fans should not be necessary on the finest laptops available on the market. I'm confident that they will come up with something...

  • MacBook Pro 13" i7 2011 Freezing when I'm not using it.

    I've got the 2011 MacBook Pro 13" i7 with 256GB SSD. It runs really2x fast and am very pleased with it. However, It has a weird issue... It totally freezes when I'm not using it sometimes. It's happened three times now and every time it freezes it would be when i left it for a while like seconds to 5 mins and when i get back it's already frozen. Note, it didn't freeze from coming from screensaver or sleep. How I left the screen is what I see when I get back. I can't move the cursor, the keys don't respond, when I close the lid it doesn't sleep. I'd have to press and hold the power button to force shut it down and boot up again.
    I've already contacted Apple Support the second time it happened. The tech was friendly and we did some reseting of PRAM and stuff. I just put up iStat on my menubar to see if anything weird would show there if it ever freezes again after now the third time it happened!
    Please help! This is annoying.
    My specs:
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    MacBook Pro 13" i7 20011
    2.7 GHz, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD.

    Thanks,
    The sad thing is where I am, I don't think there are Apple replacements here yet. I had my mac bought in the US and brought by relatives all the way to the southern part of the Philippines.
    It's just weird. I would understand more if my mac froze under a heavy task which so far it hasn't. I have run TWO Windows 7 instances: one Boot Camp, the other virtual, had a whole lot of applications running and while Even playing Star Craft 2! And it run so smoothly I was so impressed. It just so happens to hang when I leave it there doing nothing! ??

  • Macbook Pro running slow and freezing...please help?

    Hi there everyone. I have a Macbook Pro that's a few years old and it started to experience some slowdown and freezing recently, which was even worse after installing Yosemite. It's mostly running slow on Safari but it seems that programs are freezing and taking way longer to open and close too. I'm not all that familiar with diagnosing these sorts of issues on Macs and was hopeful that someone could take a look at this for me? This is the EtreCheck report, and any help would be much appreciated! Thanks guys.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes

    Good Morning.
    This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
    The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
    The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
    The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
    Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
    Additonal information:
    When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
    The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
    I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
    The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.
    Help please.

    "This is not a retina 15" - though I just turned off the graphics switching to see if that made any difference."
    That recall is not just for the Retina model:
    From:
    https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
    Affected Models
    MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
    I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
    There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
    http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
    "Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
    Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
    So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
    "Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
    The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
    Re:
    http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
    The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
    Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
    Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
    They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
    I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
    I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. 

  • MacBook Pro running slow and freezing--Installed OnyX

    I am having problems with my MacBook Pro. For a while I was using Safari and getting the beachball A LOT. So, I switched to Chrome. For the past two days it has been running slow and freezing...when typing it would freeze and a few seconds later it would resume and the letters I typed would appear. After reading forums, I did the repair disk permissions. Nothing changed. I downloaded OnyX. After executing two tasks under cleaning..I believe System and User, it is already running better and hasn't froze once. My question is...which tasks should I perform on OnyX? I read somewhere that not all of them should be done. Like I said, I only did 2 and then stopped. I'm kind of over my head and don't want to screw anything up or do anything that doesn't need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

  • MacBook Pro with retina display freezes when streaming from Vudu

    I don't know if anyone has experienced this before. I have been trying to watch Non-Stop on Vudu tonight with a lot of issues. After streaming for a while, perhaps some 15-20 minutes or so, the video starts buffering non-stop (ha!). The problem is that once that happens, I cannot click on anything. The buffering doesn't stop, but even if I try to quit Safari, the thing freezes Safari and freezes the entire computer. I have been working with Apple for the past 2 hours and nothing that has been done seems to fix the problem. I even ran a diagnostic and it said that I had no issues.
    This is the first time I have streamed from Vudu. I never had issues streaming from anywhere else. I am running a Netflix video in the background to see if it will freeze. Since it's not a full screen, I don't know if it will do the same. Nothing else seems to cause a problem, but what is bizarre is that it freezes the entire computer. In the case that the website was messing everything up, I don't know why it has to freeze the entire computer.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and if so did you get to a solution and how?
    Thanks!

    I had this exact problem when watching streams on my Macbook pro retina 15". For the sake of testing, I tried opening the same stream i was testing in chrome, using 120 % of cpu, in safari, where it uses roughly 3-10 %. dont't know if this will solve your problem, but I advice trying it.

  • 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 !

    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.

  • My Macbook Pro gets slow the longer I use it?!

    Hi everyone, recently my MacBook Pro 2011 has been very slow. It started acting up about a week ago after I left my laptop on stand by mode for a while and when I returned to using it, the laptop was really slow, significantly slower compared to before. I restarted it and everything seemed fine but after using it for about 20 to 30 mins it starts to get slow again... As the result, I have to restart my laptop every 30 mins or so if I want to use it smoothly, but really... its very annoying having to restart it all the time. The symptoms are lag, slow application launch, applications not responding and A LOT of rainbow wheel...
    I have verified and repaired the permission and the drive in the Disk Utility but the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Here it is:
    Problem description:
    MacBook Pro 2011 gets slower and slower the longer I use it.

  • I need to connect a computer monitor to my MacBook Pro but have found that when using the mini display port to VGA adaptor the screen display on my macbook is very small font. Please what do I do to correct this?

    I need to connect a computer monitor to my mac book pro, using a mini display port to VGA adaptor. But have experienced a drastic reduction in font size on my
    Mac screen even before I have managed to check the result on the monitor screen. Please how do I compensate for this and restore my mac screen appearance?
    Many Thanks Alangium in uk

    Hi alangium,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Resetting your computer's PRAM should restore your Macbook Pro's screen appearance.

    This article may provide some information about your Mini DisplayPort to AVI adapter.  Have you tried to connect a different VGA monitor to your Macbook to see if you get the same results?

    18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
    The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

    How can I detect displays?
    If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
    How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
    You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
    To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Macbook Pro running slow/battery drains when closed

    Hi!
    I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid-2012 running OS X 10.9. It recently started running extremley slow and the spinning ball pops up all the time when I try to do basically anything, but mostly when I try to do more than one thing at a time. Sometimes it will run normal, but then slow up. The spinning ball also pops up basically everytime that I try to play a video or anything like that. The adobe flash plugin also seems to crash a lot.
    Also, when it is closed, it becomes very warm and the battery drains while it is closed. It seems like it doesn't really turn off when it closes.
    Anyone know what could be causing this?
    Thanks!

    I ended up having to take it in. Turned out there was a connection to the hard drive that was loose or something. I took it to a store in my city that specializes in macs so I didn't have to spend a fortune. Otherwise, I had someone else look at it and they said that it could have been from when I updated my computer, that something didn't download properly- which has been an issue in some computers.

  • HT2353 Macbook Pro running slow and freezing

    So it just started yesterday running slow and freezing. I'm starting to get very frustrated. I research to see what could be the problem. I saw people suggesting that it could be the storage. My storage is 464.75 free out of 499.25. I just brought this computer last year on christmas. I thought it could be adblock but it never cause me problems but I paused the app and it still doesn't work. What is wrong? Should I restart the computer? If I do how can I backup my things? Also i'm really not a computer person so if you can describe to me the problem in layman terms that'll be great!
