My just bought MacBook pro very slow when browsing web in Safari. Help!
I just bought a MacBook pro and it goles really show when running Safari. Also, it would not syncronize iCal with iPad and iPhone. Help! Pelase!
Can you elaborate a bit? Is your mac fast when doing other things?
When you say it is slow in Safari, is that true on all sites? Or one site in particular?
Tell us about your internet connection...
What were you using before you bought this new mac? Was it fast on the same connection?
Its kinda hard to fingure out what you are saying, and its very unlikely for any computer to be slow when running one program, btu fast when running others.....

just bought macbook pro and want to download purchases I have already made from itunes apps but when it says downloaded can't find it. I have run a search and found it in my mac but unable to open or do anything?? Do not understand what is happening.

so how do I get the same apps for my macbook pro? or is that not possible?
Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x. -
I just bought macbook pro with 10.8.3 os. When i start the system, all applications automatically start up as well! How can I turn them off. I checked the user settings and no application is set tom open automatically!
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems. -
Just bought MacBook Pro, cannot connect to the Internet at home. I have wifi at home and my iPad and cell phone can connect to the wifi
*** When you post for help, please state which OS X is installed.
If you aren't sure, click About this Mac from your Apple menu
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information. -
MacBook Pro very slow to bring up homepage, programs won't open; likely related to failure to upgrade Java on Parallels, told that C disc low capacity, disc compression recommended was unsuccesful/failed. Rebooting, battery removal hasn't helped. Can't open Systems Preferences. Suggestions?
Linc, the resident dump guru, will probably be along in awhile and provide deeper insights, but here goes for now. I'm seeing an awful lot of warnings and messages from Chrome. Any chance you could lay off that browser for awhile and use Safari in the meanwhile? No red messages anywhere in the listing. Have you tried rebooting into Mountain Lion Recovery Mode to do a Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions? (Cause in spite of what your config tag says, the dump indicates you are running a ML kernel)

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library. -
MacBook Pro - Very slow, Full RAM, Fan is constantly on - With EtreCheck, etc.
Hello everyone! Thank you all in advance for any type of help or advice, I appreciate it a lot.
I am using:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012)
Running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Macintosh HD has 294,08 GB free (out of 499,25 GB)
I am a student, using my MacBook constantly during the day. Applications that I use daily - Safari, Word, Outlook and Finder are always on; a lot of the time I am also using Photoshop CS6, Skype.
Ever since the update to OS X Yosemite my MacBook did slow down noticeably. I left this issue unattended as I was using uni computer at the time. Recently I returned to the actual studies and design work on my MacBook. I couldn't cope with how slow it was, ended up in forums looking for the solution. I tried a couple of things already (was restarting/shutting down computer in-between these tasks):
1. Disabled FileVault (it was on for moths, I had no idea of what it is), completed the decryption process (it took around 10 hours).
2. After that I ran EtreCheck, that found a couple of actual and potential issues, I more or less sort it out, will attach the new report in the end of the post.
3. Tried to disable Spotlight to affect mds, not sure it worked.
4. Moved to Trash apps I wasn't using, properly uninstalled only a couple of them. Emptied trash.
5. Erased Safari history that emptied about 500MB of RAM, but then it went back to almost 3.98GB full out of 4GB.
At the moment I only have Safari on and kernel_task takes 570MB of memory, used RAM is 3,88GB out of 4GB.
Fan is constantly on, MacBook is very slow. If I understand correctly RAM is the main issue, unfortunately being a student I am not able to buy and install more memory. I also understand that Photoshop takes a lot of RAM memory, what can I do about it? Photoshop is a crucial app for me.
Is there a way to free some of the RAM memory and make my Macbook faster? Would a clean Yosemite install help? (Can Yosemite at all perform properly on a MacBook with only 4GB memory? What will help it run faster?)
Here's my EtreCheck report:

Thanks a lot in advance! Looking forward for the possible solutions!
AnnaLet Spotlight finish indexing your HDD. Stopping it is pointless.
Regarding the fans, it is always running when you turn on the MBP. It is a question of how fast. If there are light loads on the CPU, the fans should be near silent. If otherwise, try a SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
If that does not slow the speed at very light loads then there are other reasons that need to be explored.
If you cannot instal;l additional RAM (your MBP will accept up to 16GB) then you will have to accept slower performance. Yosemite is a RAM glutton. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are Owc and Crucial.
Time Machine or any other backup is only necessary if the data you have on your MBP is important. Ask yourself this question: What will be the degree of inconvenience should the internal HDD fail? All hard drives eventually fail.

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:

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? -

After upgrading to Mavericks, macbook pro very slow
Hiya
I upgraded to Mavericks and ever since then my macbook pro is very slow.
When I try to open a new finder window, I get the rainbow ball. Chrome is extremely slow. Word is also slow to open, slow to wake, and slow to shut down. Pretty much everything is slow!
I did repair permissions using disk utility, but that didn't solve the problem.
I ran EtreCheck and here's what I got:

Why is my Macbook Pro very slow to boot and also everything else?
Hi,
When I start my computer, it remains at the silver screen with Apple logo forever. The startup boot is supremely slow.
Even while i am opening applications, the icons keep on jumping at the dock for a long time before the application starts.
The problem started about two months ago however it has worsened a lot recently. This is my etrecheck profile. Hope it helps. Any help will be appreciated.
My MacbookPro is very slow. Here's the Etrecheck report.
Let me know what i should do.

0 B Page-outsPlease uninstall "Cisco AnyConnect" and see whether there's an improvement. If there is, check to see whether there's an update, or preferably, use the built-in Cisco client instead.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
JUST Bought MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.16 Intel Core Duo and NEW to MAC's.
Like the title says I just bought a MacBook Pro and I have NEVER used Mac's in my entire life. I have always been using Windows ever since I was born. But I am heading to college and wanted a change. I was wondering if there is any quick tips or things to know about my MacBook Pro before I get it in the mail? Especially because I've been a Windows person my whole life. Also, I feel like I should have bought the Mac right before I leave for college but that's the end of August and I needed to buy this before I headed to college to test it out. I just don't want to get it and then a newer MacBook comes out. I know that no one knows for sure but do you think that will happen?
Welcome. It will be easier to answer if you say something about what you're interested in and how you might want to use the computer. There are things I do with every new Mac, but they probably wouldn't interest most people. (E.g. I go into the preferences/keyboard/modifiers and turn caps lock into control. I'm an old-time Unix guy who spends a lot of time at the command line.)
Some specific advice on taking a machine to college. This advice all applies to Macs and PCs
* make sure you have a scheme for backing up your data. I recommend using a Firewire disk. There are lots of ways to do the backup. You'll see plenty of discussions in these groups. If you don't want to buy a Firewire disk you can use other media, but generally those aren't big enough or fast enough to let you do a full backup of your machine. You'll need to locate the folders where you save files and backup just those. WIth the Mac you can do bootable backups. If you lose your disk you can actually boot off the Firewire disk and run that way until you get your disk fixed. Note that this works with Firewire but not USB. Despite the advertising, you really want to use Firewire for external disks, not USB 2.
* if you haven't done so already, get Applecare. Portables are much more likely to need repair. If you don't have Applecare the repairs can be quite expensive. Apple has pretty good service.
* make sure you bring all your distribution CDs and DVDs with you. If things go very wrong you may have to reinstall, and you'll need the media with you. (Actually this advice applies more to PCs, where you have to reinstall to recover from a variety of problems. That's less common on Macs, and if you do have to there's a neat procedure -- archive and install -- to preserve your data during a reinstall.)
* make sure you have enough memory. With your machine I recommend at least 1 GB. the default of 512 MB tends to lead to a sluggish machine.
* make sure you understand the security features of OS X. Turn on the firewall. Be careful about opening attachments and browsing to questionable sites. University networks tend to see a lot more security problems than a typical home environment, though home broadband connections are pretty dangerous these days as well.
* check out your school's acceptable use policy and network access policies.
* depending upon your discipline I might recommend installing either Boot Camp or Parallels and then installing either Windows or Linux as a secondary OS. Anyone who is serious about learning computer technology should run Linux (thought not necessarily as the primary OS).
There will always be newer models. A 2.16 GHz Core Duo should be fine for several years. Not necessarily all 4 years though. That's pushing it, particularly with a portable. -
suddenly my macbook pro has started working very slow...it seems its hanging...please help
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer. -
Audio problem and macbook pro very slow
Hello,
I have a macbook pro for less than a year.
The latter has begin to be very slow. In addition, I have no sound which are emitted from my Mac, setting apart the opening gong. By the jack, there is no red light that are emitted. I tried to go in the program "audio setup midi" but it does not even want to open. So I tried to open the configuration panel go to select a new audio output device, but to my surprise, after an interminable waiting times, I got a list of blank audio device .. .
I noticed that it started when I put my Mac to version 10.7.4 ... So this is very recent ...
When downloading the update, I was editing a script with automator and my Mac was rammed by an HDMI cable has a television, if it ever can help.
I was wondering how to solve my problem.
thank you
Bonjour,
j'ai un macbook pro depuis moins d'un an.
Ce dernier a commencer a être très lent. De plus, je n'ai plus aucun son qui es émis de mon Mac, mise a part le gong d'ouverture. Par la prise jack, il n'y a pas de lumière rouge qui es émis. J'ai essayé d'aller dans le programme "configuration audio midi" mais celui-ci ne veux même pas ouvrir. J'ai donc essayé d'ouvrir le paneau de configuration pour aller sélectionner un nouveau périphérique de sortie audio, mais a ma grande surprise, après un délais d'attente interminable, j'ai eu droit a une liste de périphérique audio vide...
J'ai remarqué que cela a commencé lors que j'ai mis mon Mac à la version 10.7.4... Donc, c'est tout récent...
Lors du téléchargement de la mise à jours, j'éditais un scripte avec automator et mon Mac était banché par un cable HDMI a une télévision, si jamais ça peux aider.
Je me demandais comment résoudre mes problème.
MerciThe startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
