  • Macbook pro runs really slow after sleep mode

    My MBP ( MacBook Pro (13-inch, medio 2012), 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB), runs very slow after sleep mode. I notice that when I wake it up, my memory usage is nearly 8 GB. After a restart it is back no a normal level, between 2 and 5 GB depending on how many programs I am running. Any ideas what causes this? My IOS is Yosemite 10.10.2
    Kind regards

    Hi Japib
    Thanks for your reply. Here is my report:

  • My MacBook Pro is REALLY slow after a week of running Yosemite perfectly

    I have a MacBook Pro (about 3 years old) and I have never had any problems with it.
    When Yosemite was released I updated and my MacBook ran perfectly and faster then before for a little over a week. Then all of a sudden it became SO incredibly slow. There is a waiting time on everything that has to do with a computer; from when I make a keystroke to the letter actually pops up on the screen, when I click an icon to launch a program, and so - I think you get the picture. Always the **** rainbow circle.
    I have searched so many forums online and tried a lot of different things such as re-indexing spotlight, the "Hold down the left shift, option and control keys together with the power button-trick", various "sudo" commands in terminal, cleaning out junk (not in a very structured matter, just old files I didn't need anymore). To be honest I have no idea what I am doing, I just try whatever the smart people in the forums suggest.
    I am lucky to have very recently been gifted a brand new MacBook Pro retina bla bla bla, which I am writing this from now, so it's not really an emergency situation. It's just really annoying to have a MacBook I can't use and that also has ALL of my previous work and programs on it.
    SO here's another question:  I would just really like to back my old MacBook up using Time Machine but as the MacBook is REALLY SLOW so is the back up process. At first it was stuck on "preparing" but I figured it was because my 500GB TM external harddrive was too small, so I bought a new 1TB external harddrive. Right now my old MacBooks is performing a back up  and has passed the "preparing" stage, but after around 20 hours it has no time estimation and has only backed up "1.28 GB of 98.29 GB" and I feel like this is WAY too ineffective and really shouldn't take that long. I cant wait 100 days for this thing to back up ?!?!?!?!
    So basically I have a seriously slow MacBook Pro, so slow it actually cannot be used and so slow it cannot back up.
    I tried using Migrant Assistant via bluetooth to my new MacBook, but as you probably have guessed - over 24 hours later it was still stuck, and I also had my doubts because I thought if the slow, demonic MacBook would simply just infect and possess my new, pure, virgin MacBook.
    So this was probably confusing.
    To sum it up:
    - I am a girl and I am a technical neanderthal <3
    - I have 2 MacBooks; one slow, one brand new - both running up-to-date Yosemite and other updates are on fleek
    - It would be ideal for me to use Migrant Assistant to set my new Macbook to what I'm used to - can this be done without screwing up my new MacBook?
    - I can't seem to get TM working on my old one - can I bring my iPhoto and iTunes library to safety manually (like my other folders)?
    - I have not been a good girl, and that means my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    I really don't want to just wipe it completely, as I don't want to lose the programs I have installed - it's just such a hassle to reinstall and codes and what not.
    Extra info if it's necessary to anyone:
    I have monitored the CPU% for some time in the Activity Monitor and when literally no programs but the Activity Monitor is open and the CPU% of free CPU is 98% the computer is STILL ----------- SO --------------- SLOooooooooow..... ( just to clarify I have checked if there's random program that takes up all the CPU; there's not). Also I have no clue what CPU is so, if I have used it in a weird way in these sentences, please forgive me.
    Product:
    MacBook Pro (13", primo 2011)
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Memory:
    215.31 GB free out of 318.84 GB
    My System Memory looks like this at CPU% = 1.15 right now :
    "real memory" : 38.9 MB
    "virtual memory" : 2.48 GB
    "shared memory" : 20.4 MB
    "private memory" : 10.6 MB
    I have no idea what any of this means or if it has any significance, but it said that I should include it.
    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    I really really really hope that someone can (and want to) help me. It's not that I don't want to take it to any Mac-certified store, it's just I live in Denmark and the people who work at these stores always just say that they can "wipe it clear" so it's "as good as new" for a 100 bucks. We don't have Genius Bars and stuff..... I would really be so happy if ANYONE have just ANY solution to what would be a good idea to do now.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance
    Anne Katrine

    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
    ... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
    Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

  • Facetime and iMessage on Macbook Pro Retina display slow after Yosemite 10.10.3 Update

    Hi
    I recently updated my Macbook Pro Retina display to Yosemite 10.10.3 update. I see that the Facetime and iMessage has become relatively very slow. Like for example when someone calls on my phone it takes like more than 15 seconds + to show up on my macbook. Earlier it used to be like instant!
    I started seeing this problem on Yosemite 10.10.3 update only. Also the same is the story with iMessage. When I get an SMS or an iMessage from my friends it takes like a good 30 seconds + to show up on my macbook pro.
    Just for your information, this is the version of macbook i am using
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    251GB Flash storage
    As Suggested by someone I also tried RESETTING my computer's PRAM. That didn't seem to help either. Can anyone help. If it is a genuine bug in Apple Yosemite, I'd like to file a bug in the community.
    Regards
    Shreyas

  • 2014 MacBook Pro Retina - VERY SLOW USB 3.0 = cloning is now not possible

    For all my previous MacBook (Air and Pro) with Maverick, I always backed it up using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC). For those who doesn't know, CCC can create a bootable image of your Mac. So you can take the external drive, plug it is into any Mac, boot up and VOILA! You got your machine right there. Much better than Time Machine.
    Anyways, I tried to do a CCC image on my MacBook Pro Retina 2014 with Yosemite and this is what I found out:
    1). USB 3.0
    Very, very slow. I cannot get more than 40 MB Read / Write. Tested with major flash drive proven to have high speed:
    256 GB PNY USB 3.0 Turbo Flash Drive (4.5 stars - 1200 reviews in Amazon).
    64 GB SanDisk UltraFit USB 3.0 (4 stars - 200 reviews)
    From the Amazon URL above, you'll see that other reviewers (see the Amazon URL) got 180 MBps Read and 80 Mbps Write, but I don't know if they are running Yosemite and/or the new MBPr.
    From the System Report, Yosemite show that these drives IS capable of USB 3.0 speed:
    USB 3.0 FD:
    Speed: Up to 5 Gb/sec
    Manufacturer: PNY Technologies
    Location ID: 0x15200000 / 12
    Current Available (mA): 900
    Current Required (mA): 504
    Capacity: 256 GB (255,999,344,640 bytes)
    Removable Media: Yes
    Internal Memory Card Reader:
    Product ID: 0x8406
    Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)
    Version: 8.20 Serial Number: 000000000820
    Speed: Up to 5 Gb/sec
    Manufacturer: Apple
    And this brings me to the next problem...
    2). Cloning
    I can clone my new MBP with Yosemite as usual, but then booting up from the flash drive is SUPER SLOW, like this:
    Apple icon shown with progress bar --> 10 minutes
    Login screen shown - click on the Password box --> beachball for 5 minutes
    Got to desktop --> beachball for 5 minutes
    ... you got the idea
    With Maverick, all the cloned image boot up fast and is usable, as if I the image is installed in the internal hard drive. I tried both SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner - same exact results.
    So my questions:
    1). Is the slow USB 3.0 speed a common problem or my MBP just have bad ports (both of them?)?
    2). Any idea about the cloning issue? I am leaning towards Yosemite OS as the main culprint, since Maverick works OK, but want to get the expert opinion.

    FYI, this is the speed I get for one of the USB drive (see below). This is far below the speed I get on Windows machine or, as other posted in Amazon review, in older MacBook.
    Keep in mind that these tests are done using two separate USB 3.0 flash drives, both reported to have speed of 5Gb/Sec in OSX System Report (See Apple FAQ here - How can I determine if my device is connected as a USB 3 device?) and are fast in Windows machine.
    Anyone see the same problem with USB 3.0 on latest MacBook Pro?

  • Macbook Pro Retina - Really struggling on storage options

    Hi
    I converted over to Apple in 2011 with an iPad, a macbook Pro and an iPhone.
    As a long time PC user, it took me about 18 months to convert but, once there, I was fairly happy.
    I've always struggled with the iPhotos systems as I used to enjoy placing photos in albums within months / years - I dislike the rolling thousands I now have, despite splitting events, etc.
    My biggest problem however, is that I obviously don't understand the system.
    In early 2013, my original macbook went into meltdown and literally just won't turn on ... I am reluctant to throw as I have ten years worth of unbacked photos on there. Crucial photos as I then lost my eldest daughter. Anyway, that particular macbook is sat aside and I'm still struggling to know what to do with it - don't care for the macbook, just the photos that I stupidly didn't have backed up (in ignorance and age, I just didn't realise)!
    I rectified my immediate problem by purchasing an iMac desktop which is now also whirling and slow and freezing. It has huge memory and space so I'm not sure if the issues are the same ... something like 1TB of something and fast on the whatever else (sorry to be vague, but I needed this to be right so stressed the storage / processor issue at time of purchase). It still works, but slow and sometimes freezes completely and goes a little crazy, inventing it's own screens and commands!
    Just over a year ago, I bit the bullet and bought a macbook pro retina display ... but again, it is now showing signs of going a little off track.
    Totally accept that the fault is with the user, but i just don't understand what to change.
    I was accustomed to storing lots of photos in year, then month, then event files on my PC. They are just a rolling mess on iPhoto and I can't seem to turn it off. They appear all over - my iPhone, my iPad, my desktop ... it drives me crazy.
    My messages sometimes come to my phone, sometimes to my iPad ... sometimes people say they haven't got one from me at all, even thought I can see it as 'delivered'.
    Storage wise, I subscribe to some iCloud thing - purely because it keeps telling me that my storage needs renewing, but I haven't a clue what is stored where or how to control any of it. I do back up my current macbook to an external drive, so I'm not sure what is where.
    I've tried to back up iPhoto only but it has two iPhoto libraries which confuses me more and I have no idea how to tell which is which. One is empty and one is the real McCoy - no idea why there is two?!
    I've done the extra cover thing and attended a couple of sessions, but my closest Apple store is 2 hours away and, with the booking restrictions, I seldom get more than a mixed group session and a quick one to one which sets me off but then ???
    Iphone 6 is my least favourite phone ever and I haven't committed to replacing my iPad ... all in all, an i-mess and am just about to jack it all in and return to PC thinking, although I do like some aspects of Apple. Would love to figure it all out, but is it as complicated as it appears?
    Any suggestions (other than the obvious to chuck the lot) will be gratefully received.

    Hello sorry to hear this,
    I am currently having the same issue.... I have already had my display replaced due to image retention and not I am seeing around 5 dead pixels with one of them being a cluster of them, but with mine when you run your fingernail over on of them you can feel an indent of something and my research tells me that this is caused by dust against the screen. But I have had previous MacBooks & iMacs and I have never had this before so it must be some sort of issue.......
    more information via link below:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20067957#20067957
    I am hoping apple will replace the panel, I have already contacted the store and they were nice enough to order a replacement panel in stock for my visit, i have never had a problem with Apple Care before so I am confident they will be supportive in this case.
    I have a Genius Bar appointment on Friday afternoon and I will post back how it went.
    P.S if you want any chance of getting it sorted you need to book it into the Genius Bar before your warranty runs  out and it is going to soon very soon mine runs out in August and after that you have to pay for repairs and it is probably going to be around £600ish at least.
    Anyway's good luck with everything,
    my e-mail is : [email protected] feel free to contact me regarding this issue.

  • Lately my Macbook Pro is really slow

    My Macbook Pro is unbarebly slow. Launching Safari takes around 55 bounces/seconds. Just opening any app is something I time with making coffee or a bathroom visit, just because it takes forever. At first I was suspecting the HDD, but I've tried multiple softwares to diagnose the discs and no errors are reported. Diagnose softwares reports nothing wrong with my memory sticks either, but that could still be a fail source I guess.
    - I've repaired disc permissions
    - I've repaired/verified disc
    - I've reinstalled OS X
    I'm beginning to believe there's something wrong with OS X 10.8 and my older MBP and thinking about downgrading to see if that would help, but that doesn't seem like a sustainable solution to me.

    Suggestions for Resolving Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • Brand new MacBook Pro has really slow download and streaming speeds

    I'm new to Macs, and don't know much about computers in general. But I got a 13" MacBook Pro almost two weeks ago and have been experiencing really slow download and video streaming speeds. Pages load one image at a time, Netflix is almost impossible to use because the videos will stop buffering every five minutes even if I let them buffer for more than ten minutes. I haven't been experiencing any issues with wifi on my phone, and I've troubleshot our router. I'm not sure what it could be--but then again, I don't know a whole lot. Before I go running off to the Apple Store or call support, is there anything I can try in the meantime? Thanks!
    Here are the system specs:
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel Iris
    Software  OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    74.23 GB free out of 120.47 GB

    Check with your isp regarding your download & upload speeds as well as streaming.  You need to determine if the issue is on their end.  You can also check on the speedtest.com website.  Compare what your isp tells you to the net speed website. 

  • MacBook Pro suddenly really slow, hangs often

    My MacBook Pro is about 2 years old. It had been slowing down and occasionally running out of memory, which I figured was due to the fact that my hard disk was kind of full (had about 100 Gig of space available, which I thought should be enough, but whatever). But in the past 2 days this has gotten really, really worse. It's almost unusable. It's running Snow Leopard.
    It takes a full 5 mibutes to start.
    When I open an application it takes really long to open, then evey few things I do it hangs for a couple of minutes with the rainbow wheel spinning. Occasionally an application completely stops responding, and has to be force quit.
    This even happens if I have only one app open at a time.
    What has changed recenttly:
    • 2 weeks ago I switched from DSL to cable. I have a new cable modem and wireless router. There is some random software that Comcast sent me but I don't think it's even installed.Things were still running slow and frustrating but pasable after that.
    • 5 days ago I bought a new Droid 3 cell phone, and installed The Missing Sync on my computer to sync music, photos and calendar. It still ran slow after that, but not crazy messed up like now. I don't remember if the speed seemed any worse -- I just know that it didn't hang often the way it does now. 
    • 2 days ago I bought a new MacBook Pro with a faster processor, runnign Lion. I started migration assistant, then realized it was going to take 14 hours and I had work to do, so I stopped the assistant. and decided to run it again later. I think it's since then things became a complete mess, and every day that passes seems worse.
    • In the meantime, I may or may not have installed some software updates. I get update notices all the time, and generally install them right away without giving them much thought. In fact, now that I think of it, Firefox startded acting pretty slow after the last update (spinning wheel when opening new tabs, loading information, switching from one tab to the other), which I attributed to a buggy new release but it might be related. I don't know how long ago that was; I think about a week or two. There may have beensome OS udates too, I can't remember.
    I did run migration assistant again late last night, after cleaning out my old hard disk (backing things up to DVDs and external drives) so it would have less data to transfer. But it transfered over everything, including old apps thatI don't need and don't know how to uninstall, and I am worried that I might have transeferred over whatever the problem was with the old computer. I can't easily test because the apps that I use every day (Microsoft Office 2008 and the Adobe Creative Suite CS4) don't run on Lion so I will have to buy upgrades for everythign before I can do any work on this computer, which is quite frustrating in itself but a different story. So I haven't been able to test whether my new laptop has the same problem; it does generally seem faster but not as much of a speed increase as I had hoped.
    I ran disk utility on the old laptop, and it did find some directory issues, but I can't repair it because I don't have any discs to start up from. Why is it that Apple doesn't ship disks with its software? Granted, my new laptop runs a different operating system from the old one, but I didn't receive any system disks with it so I really don't have anything to start externally from if there ever are any problems.
    I want to keep the old mac. I occasionally travel to countries where I don't feel comfortable bringing a new expensive computer, so I intend to use my old computer as a travel laptop and the new one as my primary work laptop in my home office. But that means that I don't want to have to throw out the old one, I need to get it working again.
    (also, until I install the Microsoft and Adobe upgrades, I can't do any work on my new laptop and I have deadlines to meet that I will need to continue working on with the old laptop) (which, in fact, makes thisissue rather urgent -- I ned to keep working while it's being resolved)

    OK, so someine suggested I run AppleJack -- it did make some repairs and now Disk Utility doesn't see anything wrong with my directory, but still finds some permissions problems. Almost all of them seem to be in System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app. Says:
    should be -rw-r--r--, they are lrw-r--r--
    Do I need to fix these or can I leave as is? What is Front Row? Does it make any difference who has permissions on these if they are for a program I don't use?
    Also:
    stalling problems seem to have been resolved for now (I opened 3 different apps and they seemto work OK). But I still have a problem with the Microsoft Office applications -- I can't easily switch to/from Excel or Word from/to any other apps, I can't CTRL-TAB and select the app, I have to go to that app's window (means moving other windows around until I can see it) and click on it to switch to that app. It's doable but a nuisance. Can it be fixed?
    Also - important:
    Would the directory problems I had on my old hard disk have affected the information I ported over to the new laptop yesterday? Will I have the same problems on my new laptop? I can't check because I haven't downloaded the upgrades to Microsoft Office and to the Adobe CS Suite, so I pretty much can't open hardly any programs on my new machine right now.  I thought maybe I should run Applejack on that too, just to check, but apparently it doesn't work with OSX 7 Lion.

  • MacBook Pro being really slow and vert little free RAM.

    Hi,
    Just recently my MacBook Pro has been running really slowly when navigating between applications and tabs in safari. I checked to see how much RAM was free and it said only 30MB. I have no more apps open or things running than I normally do. This Mac is 6 months old but my old mac that was nearly 3 years old tended to run quicker, and as mentioned, I have no more apps running than I previously had. Maybe Word, Excel, iTunes and Safari. Can anyone help explain what might be making it slow and what might be hogging all the RAM?
    Thanks
    Matt

    I ran the Etrereport and this is what i got back.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and MacBook Pro Retina : Painfully slow exports, very long renders

    Hello All,
    This question seems to have been posted before..
    I came from Windows land and have used Premiere since '97..
    "Let's try a super spec Macbook and have a mobile editing suite.. Great!"
    I generally work with DSLR footage, H264 codec and .wav files.
    Imports and scrubbing is great, applying effects starts it slowing down and I'll adjust playback to 1/2 or 1/4 resolution.
    And that's just on one layer of video..
    Now, when it comes to exporting in general, a 50 second clip takes over 30 minutes to render.
    Very frustrating..
    I mainly export using the existing presets for YoutubeHD and VimeoHD.
    Can't get my head around why it takes so long and I am hoping that perhaps a re-install or a fundamental preference setting will solve it.
    In my preferences, I've allocated 11GB of memory to Adobe Production Suite applications and I rarely run 2 at a time.
    Scratch disks are set to project folders, on a 4GB RAID1 drive connected via Thunderbolt protocol
    Tech specs :
    Processor  - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory - 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
    Graphics -   NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Storage - SSD 500GB
    OS - OS X, v10.8.3
    I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you in advance

    Well, I've run a few tests, and learned something new.
    CS6 on my MacBook Pro has three acceleration modes now: Software, Hardware (OpenCL) and Hardware (CUDA).
    I've run software only... not so great. Then I ran Hardware Open CL, and it "acts" like CUDA did on my Mac Pro with GTX 285... bars that were red turned yellow, and some things ran without rendering! I was pretty surprised by this, as I have only 512MB VRAM, not 1GB VRAM on the 650M.
    This is only my not-very-serious edit-on-the-road system, so I didn't spec it out to be a monster editing laptop, but I'm extremely pleased by how well it runs with CS6. I have two very nice, new SSDs inside; one for OS X/apps, and the other for media, as well as 16GB RAM. Each SSD runs at 500MB/sec +/- whether read or write, despite the second SSD being in the space where the optical drive was.
    It's too bad there's not just a *wee bit* more space where the optical drive was... or I'd try to stuff THREE SSDs inside, and RAID two of them for media.
    So far, I'm really pleased with how well it works with only 512MB VRAM, which was the question I had wanted answered.

  • My MacBook Pro is really slow after installing Yosemite?

    I also uninstalled AVG and Google Drive.
    I ran EtreCheck again and it seems better:

  • Mid 2009 MacBook Pro - Running really slow.

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with my mid 2009 MBP running really slowly. The problem seems to be the mds_stores Process using lots of CPU and memory. I have done the following to try and resolve it:
    Uninstalled AV software (Avast)
    Created new admin user and logged in with that accounts - it seem to run fine when logged in with that user!
    Tried to re-index HD by adding and removing from Privacy section in Spotlight. Not sure if this actually worked
    Removed a couple of other apps, e.g. Dropbox.
    Updated to latest version of Yosemite (10.10.1)
    Any help gratefully received!

    Step 1
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender mdworker -o -k Message Rne Norm -k Sender mds | tail | pbcopy
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message. 
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
    Step 2
    Enter the following command as in Step 1 and post the output:
    mdutil -as 2>&- | pbcopy
    You can then quit Terminal.
    Step 3
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Terminal. In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash reports related to Spotlight. If you don't see that heading, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. A Spotlight crash report has a name beginning in "mds" or "mdworker" and ending in ".crash". Select the most recent such report, if any, from the System and User subcategories and post the entire contents—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs—they're very long and not helpful.

  • Slow internet with macbook pro retina (late2013)

    The longer I'm having my new Macbook Pro Retina, the slower it gets concerning the internet.
    There is sometimes no speed at all... I have to wait about half a minute to start the loading of for example an ebay site.
    As I use my old Macbook Pro (late 2009) right beside the new one, I have the perfect comparison. The old one is fast as ever. Even my Iphone is much faster in our home WLAN. The new one just works and works on heavy loading site after site.
    Shouldn't it be the opposite way?
    Has someone the same problems?
    Any solutions?
