Macbook pro running annoyingly slow on OSX Lion

hi,
i'm having a bit of trouble running osx Lion, ever since i've installed my macbook pro (2.8 Ghz Core i7 with 8 Gb of ram) has started stuttering. running absolutly nothing but one single application (being lightroom, quicktime, itunes or any other app) every few seconds my mac tends to stop for up to a minute to do ...something... it shows the beachball icon and the resumes normal duty just to continue on it's annoying course several seconds later.
i have tried resseting my SMC, i have reinstalled lion with a complete clean install (with and without installing snow leopard bfore installing) and manually replacing all backups from time machine instead of restoring. a reboot doesnt seem to do anything except for take several minutes more than i'm used to.
i have tried booting in safe mode using the shift key.
so. looking at my activity monitor, the cpu usage doesn't seem to jump up at all when a "stutter" occurs. i have however noticed a VM size of near 200 GB after reboot (windows are not reopened on boot) wich seems ...excessive
so i'm at a loss.. lion has some pretty nice features, but at this rate i will be reinstalling my previous version of OSX.
is there anyone that might be able to help me out here?
thanks in advance,
sincerly
Paul Thijssen

Hi,
I also have this problem. My MacBook pro was brand new in august, but i bought it just a few days before the release of lion so i installed lion after i bought it. Only used it 1 day with whatever was on it before and seemed to work fine.
Ive been too busy to do anything about it but im very annoyed by how slow it is so i have to do something now, what can I do? can someone help with some specific steps? someone posted something about changing the network settings but I wasnt sure if that applied in europe (spain)... any guideance in non-technical terms please?
THANK YOUUU

  • HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

    Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

    Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

    I’ve tried running 10.10 on quite a few different computers with 4GB of RAM and a standard mechanical hard drive and all of them performed worse with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks (10.9). And about a year ago I found that they performed better with Mt Lion (10.8) than Mavericks. Each version of the Mac OS has required more memory than the version that came before it and that means that every couple of years the minimum acceptable RAM is increased. Apple signaled this quietly at the Apple Store - only one computer now ships with 4GB of RAM. (And I can tell you from personal experience that in that configuration it is not fun to use.)
    Bottom line: you need at least 8GB of RAM or an SSD. Both are better. In the meantime run as lean a machine as possible. MacKeeper is a waste of money no matter what anyone might tell you. At best it is not necessary and is a waste of money.

  • Why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

    why is my macbook pro running so slow and how do I improve the speed?

    Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
    1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
    2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
    If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
    3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
    There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:
    http://thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    Check out articles with "Maintain" and "Tuning" in the titles.
    4) Use Disk Utility to check the SMART Status of your hard drive. A failing drive can make things slow before it makes things stop.

  • MacBook Pro running insanely slow...

    My MacBook Pro runs insanely slow especially when I'm uploading my site from iWeb to a folder on my computer. Other times sometimes the applications take forever to load or they stall when loading. I can never do more than two things at once with it.
    What could be causing this problem, and do you think taking it to the Apple store that they'd be able to fix it?

    There could easily be stuff on your drive that you don't need that is taking up space. Stuff like funny videos from you tube, logs, caches, demos, Garage band loops, games, music, printer drivers, extra languages--stuff like that. You may be able to reclaim some space by getting rid of some of these or moving some big files to an external hard drive.
    There are a couple of utilities which can help you see what's taking up space:
    WhatSize:
    http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
    Disk Inventory X
    http://www.derlien.com
    Disk Inventory X is free. WhatSize used to be, but I understand there is a small charge for it now.
    One caution. If you decide to remove something, be sure you know what it is. There are some programs that you don't use, but your computer does. But the big things will usually be media files of some sort like Garageband or iMovie or iPhoto. And sometimes there will appear a mysterious folder taking up space that was somehow generated. If in doubt, the genius at the Apple Store should be able to tell you what's what.
    Good luck!

  • 2008 Macbook Pro running real slow and freezing up

    Trying to help out my girlfriend to figure out why her macbook is running so slow when its peviously been fine. Have gone through most of the easy options, having cleared a bunch of space from the HD previously which hasn't helped. Running OSX 10.6.6 Hoping that someone will see something in etrecheck that'll help me out. Any other advice would be great.
    Cheers.

  • My macbook pro runs extremely slow. I've tried everything on the forums, but nothing has worked.

    I made an account just for this. My macbook pro is extremely slow, but only some of the time. When I normally browse it isn't that bad, but using any flash application or playing any game results in a 100-400 (sometimes 350%) CPU usage of the flashplayer. When I play a game something called kernel_task or mdworker take up a lot as well. Here's my EtreCheck, if it helps.

    Here is an example of high CPU usage by the way.

  • 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:

    @dominic: I did the safe mode start and after the desktop appeard I did nothing and just shut down and start normally again. Is it that?  I was thinking that some window should have popped out of nowwhere and give me some diagnose... and tell me what to do... ?
    Then after a normal start I did the disk utility thing, I could only verify and not repair since it seems to be ok? :
    Then I tried the SMC reset according to the link you sent me, not sure if I did it right cause step 4 and 5 under
    Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own
    were somehow the same, after I released everything I didnt have to press power button separately (step5), the mac started already (after step4)
    @Lex: I'm really wondering about those two old applications
    1) I didn't find anything useful about camerawindow or canon tools, except that it helps connecting my canon powershot G15 camera with a smartphone... don't even says if it works with my camera model nor if it works with mavericks...
    2) ...Silverlight/OutOfBrowser/SLLauncher.app: Is it needed for what? After looking up it just said useful for webbrowsers, maybe better video quality etc. isn't that something good? if I delete it from my library will there e noteable differences when I use the internet?
    besides that i deleted and update like u suggested and did a check again:

    @hands: thanks for note

  • MacBook Pro running very slow over 1 hour to boot up

    I was out of the country on a trip and my daughter's MBP (15" early 2011) refused to boot. It was stuck on the gray screen with the rotating gear. She made an appointment at the genius bar and they told her basically the computer was dead in the water due to a crashed hard drive and she should contact a data recovery service to recover her personal data then come back and they will install a new hgard drive and get her up and running. After I returned I removed the hard drive and took it to the IT department at my company. A tech there was able to access the drive via a USB/SATA cable and  copy the contents to an external hard drive. He ran HD Tune on the drive and found no errors. I re-nstalled the drive and it still had the same problem. I am more of a Windows guy myself so I'm not 100% confident of my Mac/OSX skills. Obviously the genius at the genius bar wasn't exactly right since as you will see if he simply tried a safe boot he would have been able to gain access to the computer. But following is what I have already done.
    1). I was able to boot into safe boot mode(Shift key during boot process). Under Safe mode I was able to log in under a Guest account. I could not successfully log in under her user account. Under the Guest Account I ran Disk utility and verified and reset preferences as I read somewhere this could be an issue. It found many issues (I would guess around 100). I also ran the verify disk and disk repair (or wahatever it is called). Disk Utility informed my that I had to reboot into repair mode (Command & R) and run DIsk Utility in that mode.
    2). Rebooted into Repair Mode (Command & R). It took a while for the spinning globe to get rid of the triangle with the exclamation point but eventually I was in the Internet Repair Feature (Or whatever it is called). I ran Disk Utility and did a repair. It found system file errors and reported back that they were repaired. Wihile in Repair mode I looked under the "restore" tab and noticed that OSX Lion was shown. But in the computer's "About this Mac" it shows OSX 10.9. My daughter confirmed that she had previously updated the OS twice via the App Store so I guess that is why Lion shows under the restore tab.
    3). I did a reboot to reset PRAM/NVRAM hoping that would assist as well as I had seen some entries that this was a good thing to do with very slow response problems.
    4). I rebooted and waited. After about 20 minutes the log in screen came up and I log in under her user account. About 30 minutes later most of the desktop had loaded. About an hour and a half into the boot I was able to navigate the desktop but the was at least a 2 second delay between clicking on something and it acting. Often I had the spinning "rainbow wheel", "beach ball", "umbrella" or whatever your preference is.
    So bottom line is I am no longer stuck on the gray screen but the computer is totally unusable. I'm not sure what my next step should be. SHould I restore the OS to Lion via the Command & R procedure? If I do that then will she be able to reload 10.9 Mavericks again via download?
    If she has a friend with a MBP already running Mavericks can she make a USB boot drive on that machine to repair/replace her existing OSX installation?
    Should I just reformat the hard drive and start fresh since something isn't making the MBR happy?
    Also under disk utility the SMART report shows the drive as healthy.
    Here are the basic specs of the machine as is:
    OSX 10.9 (13A603)
    8GB Ram 1333 NHz DDR3
    Hard Drive: 499Gb total/263GB available
    Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

    LPBassman,
    since the tech in your IT department was able to copy your daughter’s data from her MacBook Pro’s internal disk, I’d suggest completely erasing the internal disk (using Disk Utility in Recovery mode, reformatting it with a “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” filesystem), reïnstalling its original version of Mac OS X (either Snow Leopard from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD if it originally came with two grey DVDs, or Lion via OS X Internet Recovery if no grey DVDs originally came with it), running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8 or 10.7.5 respectively, reïnstalling Mavericks, running Software Update again to get it up to date, and finally restoring your daughter’s data.

  • My Macbook Pro runs VERY slow when unplugged. The battery charges and runs ok. Ran an SMC reset (no success), Safe mode (did not work), and hardware check (came back ok). What can I try next to fix this?

    Hello all,
    I am new to posting on this forum but I really hope that someone out there can help me out. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OSX 10.6.8. My problem is that when I unplug the laptop form the charger and run it on the battery, the computer becomes unresponsive to any commands at all. It basically really slows down to a crawl. Even when rebooting it will take 5-10 minutes or more to do so. The odd thing is, when it gets plugged back in while any of this is going on, within a minute or two it works perfectly. It has been in a mac authorized repair shop for 7 weeks and has had a new logic board and a new hard drive replaced. The battery was tested and charges fine, holds a charge when unplugged, and the system profile shows the battery at Normal. Recently, many knowledgeable mac enthusiasts gave me tip that might help. Here is what I did: Ran an SMC reboot (no success), rebooted the computer under safe mode then unplugged it to test (no success), and ran a hardware test on the install disk (showed hardware ok)
    I am at a loss as to what to do next. It has become impossible to use this laptop for my classes when it is unplugged. I am about ready to just go buy a new one, and call this one a goner.
    I am hoping someone reading this can help with any other ideas on its problem. Help? Anyone?
    Steve

  • Macbook Pro running extremely slow since updating to Yosemite

    Hello All,
    I am new to the community and I'm hoping your pooled expertise can assist me with my issues. I went ahead and posted the results of my diagnostic scan below. My main concerns are that my Macbook Pro is now extremely slow after OSX updates. Also, laptop is running extremely hot to touch. I have mentioned other ongoing issues. I offer thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Problem description:
    Macbook Pro 13":
    Purchased in mid-2010.
    Most Recent Issue (Main Concern):
    (1) I recently updated OS X from Mountain Lion to Maverick. Computer began running extremely slow and “jerky.”
    (1.1) Shortly after this I updated to OS X Yosemite. Computer runs, and types, even slower than before.
    Ongoing Issues (Greater than one year):
    (1) Extremely short battery life (may last two hours on full charge)
    (2) Macbook runs extremely hot to touch (fan runs continuously but can’t begin to keep it cool)
    (3) SD Card reader doesn't recognize/open an SD card when inserted.
    Lex Cschellings Requested the Following:
    No obvious elements in the list.
    This may well be a dying disk and/or a very bad battery.
    Do following:
    make a new etrecheck list and in the problem description put what Applications->Utilities->SystemInformation says about the battery (under the Power heading in the left panel): give cycle count and battery condition.
    Then post the link in a new thread.
    In the meantime the crash report is probably a French Dictionary issue (font? garcon garçon) you have installed, uninstall that and see if it happens again.

  • Help Center is running extremely slow in OSX Lion.

    Help Center is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro with OSX Lion (8 GB RAM, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5).
    It takes several seconds to start up, occasionally variable names like "[currentBookname]" are displayed instead of section headings, results update extremely slowly. This has always been an issue but keeps getting worse it seems.

    Regardless of whether you think you need it, uninstall it and test to see if the slowness problem is solved.
    If it isn't put it back if you must, but there's no point trying to look for another cause till you've eliminated this one. You have a huge amount swaps which is what is causing your slowdown. 90% chance that's your AV software doing that.
