Macbook pro keeps slowing down

My Macbook pro had been playing up lately.  Looking at the activity monitor the Memory Pressure keeps going to red and slowing the computer down. A Safari Web
Content process keeps opening up and causes it to use up all the RAM, slow down and a few times caused it to crash. The process is https://autotrader.portal.com. How can i stop this from running? Every time it opens up by itself I have to force quit it to stop it slowing up and freezing.

    Hmm, good luck then!
    I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

  • My macbook pro is slowing down!what is the best way to speed it up?what is the best drive cleaner application i can use?

    my macbook pro is slowing down!i was looking for drive cleaning applications bau i couldn't decide which one is more useful!

    There are NO applications that will make your MBP run faster.  At best they will have no effect, at worst they will create more problems.
    Start with this comprehensive trouble shooting document.

    Pay particular attention to the Hard Drive and third party applications.

    1. Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    2. If there's no change, see below.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • MacBook Pro is slowing down

    So I've had my Macbook Pro since 2009 and it's been slowing down the past couple years and I want it back running like it should.  I recently updated to Yosemite and feel like that's the culprit.  I also ran EtreCheck so maybe someone can help me identify the problem from there?

  • Since I've loaded the creative cloud my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down.  Need suggestions.

    SInce I loaded the creative cloud software my MacBook Pro keeps shutting down. Is there a reason for this?

    There is not one specific program that it shuts down in, random shut downs and I could be in an Adobe application or another program. It may be be a coincidence, but my shut downs seems to have started after I installed Adobe's Creative Cloud.  Apple now has my laptop exploring what may be causing my issues. Their first reaction was that it could be some sort of software conflict.  I'm waiting on their diagnosis. 

  • MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power

    My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down unless connected to mains power, even when fully charged. I took it into Apple store, Leicester, UK - battery diagnostic shows good condition so they updated the system but that hasn't worked. I'm running OS X 10.6.8

    Thanks! I've followed your suggestion and so far my MacBook has been behaving for the past few hours without being plugged into mains power! Fingers crossed...

  • My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down before I can even start it up, what do i do?

    My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down when the loading-circle appears at start-up. I can only log on to my Bootcamp Windows mode. When i try to format Mac (via command+R) i'm told i'm not allowed to since the disks are locked - Mac is administrator, and obviously I'm not logged in. What do I do?

    Try a SMC reset.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep shutting down with a charged battery

    Why does my Mac book pro keep shutting down? I lose everything I am working on when it shuts down  help

    kva,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have? Is it running Mac OS X 10.5.5? If not, which version of OS X is currently installed on it?
    Are you running on battery when it shuts down, or are you running on AC when it shuts down, or does it happen in either case? Which app are you working in when it shuts down? Does it happen only in that app, or does it happen no matter which app you’re working in?

  • MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

    I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time.  I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
    I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime.  I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime.  I tried again, same thing.  I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
    Any idea what's going on?

    Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column  two drives plus possibly  a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install.   http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US  

  • My Macbook Pro keeps shutting down for no reason

    I have this Macbook Pro 15' , 4gb ram, 500gb HD, and it was pretty slow, so i took it to an apple shop where they've format and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.3, but now after a week it keeps shuting down for no reason, it happens when im using for example, safari and Word or 2 softwares at the same time, any tips?
    They've checked the Hard disk at the shop and everything was all right.

    It could be - and I'm not sure about this - the dreaded 2010 Intermittent black screen or loss of video problem.
    Take a look at the Knowledge Base article and see if your unit displays any of the...
    Symptoms
    Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray. Affected computers were manufactured between April 2010 and February 2011.
    If it seems as if you do have any of the symptoms, get your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them deal with the issue - which may mean replacing the logic board. But it will be a free fix as there's no expiry date for the problem listed in the KB article.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • MacBook Pro 15" Slows down to a stop

    I love the new leopard system however I have noticed that my macbook pro is crawling lately. I f I restart the computer it will temporarily speed up but after going into standby a couple of times the computer will slow to a crawl forcing me to restart the computer.
    The only 3rd party program which I can even potentially attribute this problem to would be parallels, however it does not seem to be the issue. Certainly my computer should not be having ANY speed issues. A problem I had earlier was major trackpad issues (occasionally the trackpad would freeze up and the cursor might even go in the opposite direction), this seems to have gone away. However the computer continues to run slowly. I am wondering if it could possibly be a hd issue? I have a 160GB hd 5400rpm.(standard but hey...)
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Leopard worked fine for the first few days, but now my computer is at a crawl. I tried freeing up a of space on my HD, but it did nothing. Starting programs, running then, shutting them down, coming back from idle/screen saver, even switching panes in "Spaces" takes forever... it makes no sense, and its infuriating. This thing carries my life with it, my work, my contacts, my college material and papers, my entertainment, and its barely functional. Granted Leopard is fairly streamlined in comparison to Tiger, but at least Tiger actually performed steadily.
    Oh, and side note: as cool as Spaces is, they should have made it more like virtue-desktops so you could customize it with backgrounds and such, and not lock programs to the pane in which it was opened, that's just stupid. Not that any of it matters if the damned thing becomes the computer equivalent of a tortoise. . .
