My MacBook Pro 2011 13" is running slow after ML update
My MBP 2011 13" (4 GB RAM, i5, 320 GB HD) had been a fast machine from the day I bought it till the day I upgraded it to ML from SL. The booting takes ages, the shutting down brings in the "background task" logo and most of the apps take a long while to come up. This is really affecting my productivity with the machine. Above all, my battery standby time has also reduced by approx. 2 hours. Would really like some help to overcome these problems. Kindly help!

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite. -
My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update
My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!
Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

I have a 4 year old macbook pro that is not running very well. It heats up quickly and becomes so hot you can hardly touch the bottom. It is also running slow and has been freezing more lately. What can I do to get to running better again?
When that is happening run this to see what is running and then copy and paste the results here:

My macbook pro (2011) starts up very slow and has other startup resolution
I have two problems:
My Macbook pro (Lion) starts up very slow. Many things seem to happen during startup. The screen goes small, blue, back and many times the loginscreen is coming up in a lower resolution. When I do a Pram reset it starts up with the correct resolution but after a couple of startups it goes back to 800x600 resolution (I guess). When I Log in the resolution is ok so only the login screen is a lower resolution.
Can anybody tell me what can be wrong here?
And if there is a solution beyond resetting the PRAM?Hello,
For the screen resloution problem:
I don't know if you have solved your problem yet but i had the same exact problem this morning and was able to find the solution and fix it.
All you have to do is safe-boot your machine (hold shift key during restarting/booting) and after the next restart it should be fine.
Hope it helps. -
Macbook Pro 2011 clamshell mode broken by latest software update?
After installing the latest MacBook Pro software update and EFI update through Software Update in the evening May 4, I am unable to enter clamshell mode any more. It used to work before. After waking up in the clamshell mode, the machine promptly goes back to sleep. On subsequent attempts to wake up the system, the laptop itself appears to wake up (at least the sleep light stops blinking) but the display does not even wake up. I can still work with external dsisplay with the lid open but this is highly annoying. I have reset the PRAM with no effect. The machine is a 2011 MBP, 15" inch, 2.2 GHz quad i7. Keyboard and mouse are wireless Microsoft desktop but the problem is also present with wired peripherals.
Does anyone else see this problem after installing the latest patch?Okay, I'll add my frustration here as well.
I've had this problem too, and more noticable since the 1.4 update.
I posted a thread similar to this here.
But I'll just copy over what my main problem was...
Whenever I plug my computer into my Cinema Display (with the computer closed) it won't wake up fully. The status light will come on, any external hard drives will spin up, but the display won't turn on and the computer will go back to sleep.
I have to restart the computer manually to get it to work normally, and if I disconnect it while it's between the sleep and wake mode and try to open it, the backlight will come on but the screen will remain black, causing me to have to force restart it.
This is in addition to my first problem with the backlit keyboard not coming on automatically after sleep, which was temporarily fixed by resetting the SMC, but it goes back to the problem after a week or so.
What could be causing either of these problems? Could it have something to do with BootCamp since I have it installed, or is there a defect?
I would bring it back to Apple, but there's a small dent in the front right corner, and I'm afraid they would deny any problem I have.
I took my MacBook Pro (2011, i7 2.2, 17") into the Apple Store on Monday, and after about an hour of attempting to replicate the problem with a different monitor, there was only one time where there was any sort of problem.
The employee told me to see if there will be a fix, or otherwise they will replace the logic board for me.
One thing I'd like to add as a note...
It seems that the problem is more prominent when I have my computer with everything on it as usual. As in, before I took it to the Apple Store I performed a clean install of OS X, and that may be related to how bad the problem is, any opinions?
I had attempted at reinstalling OS X from a Time Machine Backup, but the problems continued shortly after completetion. In addition to this, I clean installed OS X, and manually reloaded my applications and media, hoping that the problem had stemmed from some kind of broken file system that could be repaired by a new install.
But no matter how I do it, the problem comes back despite the method. It is really something I want fixed, as I pretty much only use it in clamshell mode when home... -
Macbook Pro 2011 just started running extremely slow
After recent OS upgrades and general teenager use, the MacBook Pro all the sudden is running extremely slow. I am not a really technical person, what should I do to fix? I will start backing up now.
Thank you
MattYou may be able to improve the speed with some software work but it could also be your disk or SSD is corrupt or failing.
Try resetting PRAM and SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Is it faster now? If not, proceed.
Restart in Safe Mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
If it boots faster then uninstall all unnecessary login items >User&Groups>Login items. Unlock the padlock. Remove them with the minus -
Also uninstall internet plug-ins in your browsers.
Is it faster now? If not, proceed.
Backup your data immediately:
Before proceeding you should make sure you have a current backup. If it has been getting slower over time your disk could be a failing slowly. SATA drives have two retry modes: short and long. They can continue operating as read errors are increasing. The long retry cycle is very long and can cause significant performance degradation. If it has started long retries then it is likely to get worse and eventually fail. SSDs also have a failure mode where the fail slowly.

Low disk space:
If your disk has less than 10% free space or less than 15 GB free it can slow down your Mac. For information on how to clear disk space see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634300?tstart=30 .

(I learned a lot reading this document. Good stuff.)
- A clean install.
After you have backed up your system twice.
Preferably with one of the backups being a clone.
Time Machine restores are complex and can sometimes fail.
You don’t want to risk all your data on one backup as you wipe out the data on your Mac.
As part of this clean install procedure erase the disk with Security Option Zero
that writes zeros to all sectors and remaps bad sectors as it does so.
That is a time consuming operation, but worth it.

Hardware replacement or upgrade?
Hopefully by now your Mac is back to its normal speed. If a hardware repair is indicated take it to an Genius bar at an Apple store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs. If it is under warranty or AppleCare they will repair it for free. If not, you can compare their estimate with DIY repairs.
Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
You can speed it up further by upgrading some hardware. (Do not upgrade the hardware if it is still covered by the warranty or AppleCare.) For the following memory, disk or SSD replacements and upgrades check out OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/, Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ and Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/. You will need to know your Mac the year and season your Mac was first sold and model number which can be found here:
> About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Model Identifier:
If your Mac has 2 or 4 GB of RAM, consider an upgrade to 8 GB (if the memory is upgradeable). An 8 GB memory upgrade is only $100. When I upgraded a MacBook from 2 GB o 8 GB it booted thee times faster.
If your Mac has a disk and it won’t repair properly, is low on disk space, or you just want a considerably faster disk, check out an upgrade to an SSD-Hybrid disk. Google "Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch" or consider an SSD (120 to 480 GB).
OWC has SSD replacements and upgrades for MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros.
Good luck. May the software fixes do the trick. -
Late 2011 macbook pro getting hot and running slow, any ideas?
In the last week my macbook pro has been getting very hot (too hot to rest on knees) and sometimes running slow. It will often cool down after a while but the fan seems to be running more frequently as well. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

My MacBook Pro is walking, not running, slow
My MacBook Pro, circa early 2011 is getting progressively slower. I recently installed Yosemite, but the slow down had already started before that. It is not always consistently slow, at times it is fine. Sometimes however, when I type, the text takes around 30 seconds or more to even show up. Sometimes it never shows up at all. I play a guessing game as to whether or not I need to retype the sentence, usually to find out I didn't, it was just taking a minute this time. Safari may sit for a few minutes before responding, and yes the router is working fine, all our other devices have no problems getting out. I have repaired permissions and I have cleared some hard drive space so I have over 70GB free.
Thanks for your help,
here is the Etre System Report:
Problem description:

Hello! My MacBook Pro has suddenly started running slow.
Hello!
I've had my MacBook Pro for since 2011 and it has suddenly started running slow. This has been going on for a month. I've restarted my MacBook several times and even shut it down when I know I will not be using for the remainder of the day. I've tried numerous things to make it run faster including deleting useless files like text documents, pictures, videos, etc. I currently have 92.67GB free of 500GB . I've noticed that when it gets hot it starts running slow or when I play a video game and sometimes when I play videos online.
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
Processor: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This article is a great starting point for troubleshooting the slowness issue with your MacBook Pro.

New Macbook Pro 10.8 WiFi Running Slow - PLEASE HELP!
Just bought my Macbook Pro in December. My brother and I are the only macbooks on the network, as soon as he gets on his macbook, my macbook automatically starts running slower. As soon as he stops, it starts working normal again. I have tried refreshing my IP address and same problem
I am running 10.8.3 and it says I am up to date. WiFi speed is not an issue, router is good (brand new) and have never had this problem before.
Is this a bug? Is there a way to fix this?
MikeJust do what I said and post it please. Continuously asking about it without knowing that info is pointless. If your systems are identical, then neither of you should be experiencing any issues. Think about it... if the systems are identical, why would your have an issue and his won't... under the same OS version and hardware. Makes no sense.
Also, even if your router is brand new, it may not have the most recent version of firmware on it. Check that. And even so, some chipsets on some WIFI routers from some manufacturers don't work well with Mac's due to the Broadcom chipsets it uses. It can happen, I've seen it with brand new Netgear products and new iMacs. Changing the network config on the router for wireless technologies to use may fix your issue, but if it's a dual band router, you need to post what I asked for because that will tell you what speed and radio channel/GHz you're actually using. Sometimes a ton of devices on the 2.4GHz can cause issues with others around, etc. -
My MacBook Pro seem to be running slower since the last lion update, anybody else?
Since the update of the Lion software my Macbook Pro is running rather slow and the pinwheel appears quite often, anyone else having this issue. Any suggestions for solution?
This is from an a brody recent post:
Backup your data if you want to isolate all the possible reasons.
Depending on what is slow:
1. The hard drive may be close to capacity. 85% is the maximum most Macs can run at without exceeding it.
2. It may have insufficient RAM.
3. It may have a damaged directory.
4. Your use of so-called maintenance tools may actually be corrupting system caches. Onyx, and Macaroni are all tools that should only be
used by experts who know when they should be used if at all. MacKeeper shouldn't be used at all.
5. You have a dying hard drive.
6. You have a router not compatible with your operating system.
7. You have a peripheral not compatible with your operating system.
8. You have a firewall that isn't routing internet traffic properly.
9. You have some incompatible software.
So tell us when you are backed up, and what is slowing down, and maybe we can help you isolate the problem."
