My 2009 MacBook Pro is slow to sleep - running mavericks - how do I fix?

MacBook now takes 30-45 seconds to sleep and then wakes by itself later on.  Have checked for old printer q's and found none.  Operating wirelessly with new apple router off comcast cable modem.  Used to sleep immediately and stay until awakened.  Any helps?

pennbank is correct that holding the power button will stop the computer.  But it stops *all* processes mid-step, which can leave some of OSX in an incorrect state because of pending internal file updates that were killed.  I do not like to use that method if anything else will make it respond.  For example, once the computer was not responding when I was using a BT trackpad.  I eventually removed the batteries from the trackpad to force it dead, and the release of the BT channel freed the MBP.

  • Macbook Pro is slow to sleep after upgrading to Lion

    I just updated my Early 2008 15-inch Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz from 2 GB to 4 GB as well as upgraded my OSX to Lion (10.7.5) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  I have noticed since the memory and OSx upgrade my Mac is slow to go to Sleep.  It may take up to 30-40 seconds for it to go Sleep.  Sometimes it will instantly go to Sleep, however most of the time there is a significant delay.  I have not experienced any delay or issues when waking up my Mac from sleep status, but it is very slow to go to Sleep now.  In prior versions of OSx my Mac would always instantly go to sleep.  I've researched some discussion threads and I've found some topics relating to resetting the pmset code.  I was hoping someone a lot more knowledgeable than me can help me troubleshoot this issue.  If it is the pmset, can someone give me detailed instructions on what to review and how to correct?  I see where this was posted from a previous thread but alas I'm at a loss on how to correct...https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /10.7/man1/pmset.1.html.  Thanks.

    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About this Mac > More Info > System Report then select Storage on the left under Hardware.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor. In particular, the many "failed" warnings that it sometimes spews mean absolutely nothing. Those warnings are not a valid reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
    The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • Macbook Pro is slow to sleep after upgrading to Lion; pmset -g question

    Two months ago I updated from early '08 MBP from Snow Leopard to Lion and increased my memory from 2GB to 4GB.  In doing so, I noticed that my MBP will sometimes take 30 seconds to go to sleep, regardless of what applications are running.  I've put in an Apple Support ticket, and I have done everything from uninstalling and reinstalling Lion, SMS resets, and last erase harddrive and rei-install Lion and then migrate my user and apps back over.  Incidentally I noticed that when I erased hard drive and re-installed Lion prior to migrating my user and apps over my MBP performed normally (as far as instant sleep is concerned).  After I migrated my apps and user profile back over, the slow to sleep issue re-appeared.
    I've seen several articles on the forum regarding pmset -g commands and terminal.  However I'm not familiar with the pmset commands and what they actually mean.  I've also seen articles about chaning the pmset -g, but mostly those are related to MBP with retinas running Mountain Lion.  I did come acress an article that suggested I review my pmset -g assertions to see what may be preventing the slow to sleep issue.  I'm posting this below:
    Assertion status system-wide:
       PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep             0
       CPUBoundAssertion                       0
       DisableInflow                           0

       NoRealPowerSources_debug                0
       UserIsActive                            0
       ApplePushServiceTask                    0
    Listed by owning process:
      pid 8391: [0x000020c7012c0040] PreventUserIdleSystemSleep named: "Address Book Source Sync"
    My question concerns the Listed by owning process.  It appears my "Address Book Source Sync" may be interfering with my system sleep.  If so, can someone confirm if my assumption is correct?  It should be noted that I have disabled my iCloud and Exchange address book and yet I still get the sporadic slow to sleep.  Can you tell me what the "Address Book Source Sync" means and what this command means, and if this may be interfering with my sleep?
    I'm waiting on a call back from an Apple Senior Technician regarding my case.  Up until now, the technician has seemed to disregard looking at my pmset settings.
    Thanks.

  • Why is my Macbook pro so slow? And what can I do to fix this?

    Greetings, I got my MacBook pro one and a half a year ago. For some reason, the last 4 months the computer has started to slow down. I get issues such as.
         - Beach ball appearing to often, even for simple commands such as open folder. etc.
         - Video files skipping frames. (any video file on any program. Even if its a buffer video such as youtube or Netflix).
         - Programs such as Photshop, Final Cut Pro etc, takes forever to render and work properly.
         - Web Browser taking forever to close a tab.
    I am currently running a OS X V.10.8.5
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    353.2GB Freespace out of 499.25.
    Could any one explain why would a mac slow down? (not a speculation, just why would it slow down like this. Especially the beach ball uninvited appearence).
    I looked up the problem on the net, I get way to many differant answears that lead to getting scam programs, and or other 3rd party programs. (I did not download any of them)
    I hope some of you understand the problem and have an answear to this. I tried to ask apple support, but they ask for money. I have a feeling that mac slow down forcing you to buy support intentionally (this is just a thought).
    I avoid downloading uppdates from apple, because most people I know who uppdate macs always end up with a slow computer. + Last time I tried to uppdate the mac, I got a gray screen that blocked me from using the computer at all. To avoid this problem again, uppdating is not an option.
    Pardon my English, it is not my native tounge.
    Thank you for reading.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) on the advice of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. 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. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At or near the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "System Version." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • My MacBook Pro is slower than my older Macbook Pro. What's the problem and how do I fix it?

    So I have 2 MacBook Pro's, one fast and one slow. I can't seem to figure out why my older mac is faster compared to my more newer one. The same apps run much slower on my new mac.
    Here are the specs for both computers:
    MacBook Pro                                                  MacBook Pro
    Size: 17"                                                         Size: 13"
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo                 Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    RAM: 4 GB                                                     RAM: 4 GB
    HD: 160 GB                                                     HD: 500 GB
    Year: Mid 2007                                                Year: Mid 2012
    As you can see, my older mac should be a bit slower han the newer one. I have all he same apps on each one. The only problem I saw was the newer one had more inactive RAM han the older one. The newer one has been like this for a while, so I reinstalled the OS and the same problem was still occuring.

    Increase the RAM on your New MBP...
    You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
    If in the UK... Go to http://curcial.com
    It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it....

  • Macbook pro very slow few weeks after Mavericks update

    Hi,
    Please I am in need of assistance. I have noticed some significant performance degradation after my OS upgrade. Slower system, spinning wheels, hanging and once crashing and restarting. I used to be able to run many apps simultaneously while zipping along. These days not so much.
    I have run an etrecheck (following the example found in some other discussions). Please see output below. Any suggestions or advise is very welcome:

  • Why is my Macbook Pro so slow when I run VM Ware Fusion?

    My Macbook Pro is very slow when doing normal tasks (Mail especially) and slows to a stop when trying to run VM Ware Fusion. I need to run this to run a work program and that is the only thing that I do with Fusion. Everything seems to come to a halt when I boot up Fusion and I need to figure out what is causing it. Here is my analysis:

    You do not have adequate ram to run a virtual machine as indicated by your Page-outs. You may also be assigning more memory to the VM guest than is prudent, or number of CPUs it uses. You should also use the latest VMware version available for Mavericks.
    The other issue is that your machine is polluted with wireless modem and devguru kernel extensions that may no longer be compatible with Mavericks and may be posing conflicts between each other. Eliminate your login items from within System Preferences > Users & Groups. Launch what you need, when you need it, from the Dock, or /Applications.
    Do you use all of those Internet Plug-ins in Safari, or could you remove some third-party plug-ins?

  • My simpletech external hard drive shows up in disk utility on one macbook pro but not my other one.  how do i fix this???

    I have two macbook pro computers.  My external HD was reformatted on one of them from a PC to MAC.  It shows up just fine on this macbook.  The other macbook, I cannot find it.  Ive tried in disk utility and Ive tried to see if it was hidden.  Cannot access it.  What can I do to make it show up?

    Mac's with OS X 10.6.4 or earlier can't read exFAT, so if it was formatted with that (or OS X Extended J) ) and the other Mac is running 10.6.4 or earlier or is even older, it can't read the exFAT format or HFS+ format, perhaps only HFS.
    You'll have to settlle for FAT32 (MSDOS) with a MBR Partiton map to be fully compatible with all computers, but you can't have over 4GB sized files with FAT32.
    You can try OS X Extended, no journaled, just for the Mac's, but MBR with FAT32(MSDOS) would be preferred. PC and Mac of all types.
    Before you change anything, remove all the data off the drive first.

  • New Macbook Pro/OSX 10.9.1 cursor jumping - how do I fix?

    I purchased a new Macbook Pro Retina with OSX 10.9.1 over the holidays. The cursor keeps jumping. My trackpad is on the 2nd to slowest speed and only has tap to click enabled. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    At least i'd like to try to reinstall OSX to the same HDD. It seems to be a software problem that occured after a check-up with DiscHelp (idk the specific term in english because I use the dutch version). While 'repairing' an error, a notification came up that said that it couldn't be repaired and that I had to back-up all of my files and reformat the HDD. Since then, if i try to boot up the system, the screen goes black in about 30 seconds.
    The only backup I have is the direct copy I made booting up the MBP while pressing 'T' (while connected to another mac using a thunderbolt cable). So now I have a copy of the whole HDD. I tried to find the hidden ~library but i couldn't find it. In this library there are certain files i need to transfer the profile of my email. So yeah it's still readable, but as an external HDD, unfortunately not as a computer.
    I really hope you can help me!
    Rick
