Macbook Pro late 2011 suddenly slow after months using Yosemite. Never noticed kernel_task until this happened.
My MacBook Pro late 2011 has recently slowed to snails pace after successfully running Yosemite from a clean install for many months.
I always have Activity monitor running to keep an eye on memory and CPU. When the issue started, I noticed Kernel_task for the first time and its 0.5 to 1GB.
I have verified/repaired the disk and repaired permissions in Safe Mode. Also done SMC and PRAM resets.
CPU usage is usually 2% or less unless number crunching in Excel or watching videos.
I created a new user account, which is much faster in opening Safari and searching. There is no Kernel_task showing for the new user.
Cardo-updater is for a motorcycle bluetooth headset.
Xquartz is for GIMP.
Rogueamoeba is for Audio Hijack Pro.
These three have been in use since day 1 of Yosemite and before in Mavericks.

Oddities - I don't know what the disk info not mounted means. Not mounting the Recovery disk looks scary to me as uninformed.
Time machine disk too small - thought I was using a 1 TB drive !!
Problem description:
MBP late 2011 has become very slow after a few months after a Yosemite clean install. Kernel_task memory circa 1 GB. CPU activity is a few percent. Created a new user. Activity monitor does not show Kernel_task at all. Much faster as the new user. Permissions repaired in Safe mode. SMC and PRAM reset done. Short hardware test (option D on boot) - no problems. I have VirtualBox to run XP at times for some Win apps.

Macbook Pro late 2006 suddenly slow
Hello,
i'm running a 17" Macbook Pro 2.1, late 2006 with a complete fresh install of OSX10.5.8. Intel core 2 duo.
Everything is very slow. i have an older macbook pro15", and that one is alot faster.
With this 17" machine i can no longer play HD movies. also sluggish, loads of spinning wheels, slow boot, programs bouncing forever untill loading.
Also did an SMC reset, (Battery out, power button for 5sec, battery back in and power connector back in...)
not helping. As described above, a complete fresh install also did not make my machine faster.
I also swapped the RAM memory with my fast running 15", but still the 17" is slow as ****, while the 15" runs smoothly.
Now comes the completely weird part:
On bootcamp, running Windows 7 on it, everything runs smooth, even HD movies run perfectly.
Everything is fast as a charm.... but... eum... i want OSX :-(
i have completely no idea what to do anymore.

Having all of these apps launching at startup/login is probably slowing down your Mac's startup time AND having all of these apps running in the background is both eating yo CPU cycles and RAM.
Add or remove automatic items
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Select your user account, then click Login Items.
Do one of the following:
Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
Google apps like Chrome and Drive may still not be playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks.
Until Google releases a proper fix or official update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall these Google apps.
If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox.
Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently and is ,usually, more stable on OS X Mavericks. -
MacBook Pro (late 2011) suddenly won't power up
Was working with my MacBook Pro this evening, initially on battery power. Switched to AC when the battery was at 60%. An hour later it was nearly fully charged and I closed the laptop (without shutting down) and took it with me to a restaurant. Got back to work, opened the MBP up and...no power. MagSafe light flickers faintly; no battery indicators light when I hit the battery strength button. Tried an SMC reset and a PRAM reset to no avail. All this while I'm in a foreign country doing a project with a tight deadline.
I'm going to attempt to see an Apple reseller in the morning, but does anyone have further troubleshooting or diagnostic suggestions? Thanks.The Mac Pro logic board includes a set of LEDs to help troubleshoot the
computer. The LEDs are located toward the rear of the logic board, under the memory cage, next
to PCI card slot 1. You can view these LEDs by removing the computer’s side access panel and
looking through the memory cage to the logic board below. LEDs 2, 3, 4, and 5 are normally off
and will automatically illuminate if an error occurs. To read LEDs 1, 6, 7, and 8, you must press the
DIAG_LED button, which is adjacent to the LEDs. To press the DIAG_LED button, use the nylon
probe tool.

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro late 2011, suddenly while working without connecting the charger and it is 100% charged the screen would go black and I would need to hold the power button to shut it down and then power it up again, The second issue is the superdrive whenever I use a disc it spins it for 3 times before ejecting it to me, tried resetting PRAM and tried re-installing mac os x mavericks, but no solution so far and about the superdrive I bought a cleaner disc and tried to insert it, the superdrive would spin it 3 times and ejects it after that. Saw the disk permission solution and tried it once and I think there is a problem with that because this is the second time I try it and it was saying that there were problems.
Sorry for being long.
Thanks in advance.Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in. -
Hi there,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 with 8 GB RAM after already having installed CS 5.1 on my MacBook.
So I have both installed at the same time.
But: CS 5.1 is much faster! The first time opening CC 2014 was really shocking, because it was so laggy and still is, and I don't know why this is.
I didn't do any weird performance settings, neither did I change anything else. I open a document in CC 2014 and it takes nearly double the time
compared to opening the same document in CS 5.1.
And with CS 5.1 running the app Memory Clean tells me that i have 1.5 GB of free memory, with CC 2014 running my memory is completely in use.
Are there any tipps/tricks/issues with having both installed at the same time? Am I missing something that is leading to that specific performance
issue?
I would be glad if someone could help me, because otherwise I have to say that upgrading to CC 2014 and buying the CC license for one year
didn't turn out to be a good thing.
Thanks!Nothing here?
The MacBook now has 16 GB RAM, but not much change. Photoshop CS 5.1 performance is great after splitting the PSD into 3 different ones, Photoshop CC 2014 still much slower.
Does anyone experience the same problems, especially with many groups / layers / smart objects?
And is it possible to get back the money for purchasing the yearly CC license when I'm not satisfied with the product?
Thank you. -
After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time.
After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time. Its completely random and i already checked all apps in use and its not from them.
Sounds like Notifications app.
Maybe some other app. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems tab: remove all entries with the minus sign underneath. This will not uninstall anything, you have to start those apps by hand now. Restart.
Still there?
Yes: Restart again while holding the shift key, this will start the mac in SafeMode: only the necessary items are loaded to run.
Still there?
Yes: Make an etrecheck list and post it here.
No: Restart, put the items in the LoginItems back, one by one, restart after each entry, and you will find the "culprit"
Please report accordingly. I will be back in 24 hours. -
I tried to install windows 7 in my macbook pro late 2011 but i tried to create partions after it installed and it turn to dynamic disks and i can't access mac or win 7 what should I do i cant format it because i dont have a backup
It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

Will OS Mountain Lion slow down my MacBook Pro (Late 2011) running 10.7.5?
I have a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) that is currently running OS Lion 10.7.5. I was just wondering if updating to OS Mountain Lion would slow it down in terms of performance, or if it will have any other bugs on my MacBook?
PS. When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?
A back up is a precaution that you should always have, not just when installing an update to the OS. Its purpose is no different from the seat belt you wear when you drive. Use it all the time, and hope it will never be really necessary. -
Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, a macbook pro of this year should not be operating like this, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?
You have a hardware problem. It is probably the hard drive is either to full, not enough free space, or it is starting to fail.
If you have an external drive connec that to the system and use the Recovery HD, Command + r keys at startup, to install a clean fresh copy of OS X Lion on the external then run the system from that. It will be slower but if you don't get the beachball then that is the sign your internal drive is on its way out or is filled up with files and not enough free space. -
Kernel_ rask process is slowing Macbook Pro Late 2011 down dramatically
I have Macbook Pro Late 2011 8GB ram, 500 SSD. Once I upgrade to Yosemite I noticed that once I unplugged the power supply"wall adapted" kernel_task process would use up 100% of CPU. Can someone assist me?
The battery needs to be replaced, or there is some other hardware issue.

Both Internal hard drives fail on Macbook Pro late-2011
Both internal hard drives (SSD and HDD) failed on Macbook Pro late-2011.
Setup: MBP closed with Thunderbolt display attached.
Problem on HDD-A
I called Apple Support to log an issue with my MBP2011. The system is made up of 2 drives - SSD (128GB) and HDD with 2 partitions HDD-A and HDD-B(original 750GB).
HDD-A has LionOSX 10.7 and HDD-B is storage. SSD has LionOSX on it as well. I normally boot HDD-A.
I was working on HDD-A and the Kernel Panic screen appeared prompting me to shutdown the machine and start it up again.
I tried to reboot HDD-A and the grey progress bar appeared for a long time. I then forced shutdown and rebooted into SSD.
I was able to boot from SSD and then I opened Disk Utility to check the drives. I verified the disk for HDD-A and there was an error. I then tried to repair disk and it couldn't repair it. A dialogue said the disk could not be repaired and that data should be backed up.
HDD-A was not visible in Finder but HDD-B was accessible.
I verified HDD-B and it was "ok".
I shutdown, booted from SSD, disk utility HDD-A and the same message occurred.
I called Apple Support and they advised that I boot from my external HDD which was a clone of HDD-A.
Solution
I was successfully able to boot from the Clone HDD-A.
HDD-A was able to be accessed and I could retrieve the files from HDD-A.
I copied over the latest files from HDD-A to an external drive.
Same Problem on SSD
Boot from SSD, i started working for about 3 hours, with the lid closed, and attached to the ACD.
Kernel Panic screen happened again on the SSD.
Couldn't boot boot from either SSD or HDD-A.
I booted from Cloned HDD-A, Disk Utility verify and repair returned errors on SSD. The same issue had occurred on the second drive.
Disk Recovery from a boot recovery USB thumb, Disk Utility, erased SSD, verify was ok.
Tried to install then there was an install error saying that SSD was damaged (large triangle warning icon). Tried 3 times, failed.
Boot from Recovery Drive HDD-A, downloaded LionOSX.
Next steps
Format HDD-A and HDD-B into 2 partitions
Install LionOSX on HDD A.
Note:
I did not do any software updates for about a week before 14.04.2012 and suspect it might be due to the virus.
I normally work with the lid closed and attached to the ACD, I also suspect that overheating caused both drives to fail. However, I have been using this system with the lid closed for atleast a week. One Kernel Panic screen occured.Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in. -
Macbook pro late 2011 starting problem
I'm running OS Maverics 10.9.3 version on Macbook pro late 2011. Few days ago the OS got much slower than normal system. Then i installed the the new OS but it was good for few hours. Then after few hours it became slower again. Then I changed the HDD and installed the new OS. But I found the same problem again. Then I removed all backup files from the HDD. After removing all items it became to work normally. But after 15/17 days later when i'm trying to turn on the macbook a flashing folder icon appears then i pull down the display for a while. When the lights gone then i turn on again and it works normally. I tried the internet recovery option by pressing the (ctrl+R) button but it takes much time. But nothing happened. What is the problem?

MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Graphics Card issue; shall I keep it?
Hi there,
I've recently bought a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) second hand from someone on eBay, it's going to be delivered in a couple days.
Now, after the purchase, I did some research into the production year - I know, I should've done it before really - and found a huge amount of people with the very-known issue of the Graphics card. The issue causes massive visual problems and has, on many occasions, resulted in a replaced Logic Board.
I'd like to know whether you think that this machine is a safe one to keep, or if I should send it back and try and get one from a different year?
The seller said, once I asked him about it, that the previous owner (obviously someone has had it before him) apparently had a few issues, but he himself hasn't, and is using Mavericks.
What do you think?Not ALL of the 15" and 17" models have had a problem with the soldering of the GPU - maybe 20,000 at the most (based on the information that I've been gathering and some of those may be reports on the same machine). It's possible that yours may be good one.
However... I wouldn't take the chance, were it me. I've only had my logic board replaced once and it's been almost 11 months now and my machine is still working. But I'm sure that the problem will surface again (after my AppleCare runs out in 2015!) so I've decided to become less Mac-dependent in the future.
If I were you, I would just tell the seller that you're not comfortable buying a 2011 model with the discrete GPUs (the 13" models are just fine) and would shop Apple's refurbished section, looking for a non-Retina 2012 model.
My opinion...
