My Macbook Pro gets slow the longer I use it?!
Hi everyone, recently my MacBook Pro 2011 has been very slow. It started acting up about a week ago after I left my laptop on stand by mode for a while and when I returned to using it, the laptop was really slow, significantly slower compared to before. I restarted it and everything seemed fine but after using it for about 20 to 30 mins it starts to get slow again... As the result, I have to restart my laptop every 30 mins or so if I want to use it smoothly, but really... its very annoying having to restart it all the time. The symptoms are lag, slow application launch, applications not responding and A LOT of rainbow wheel...
I have verified and repaired the permission and the drive in the Disk Utility but the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Here it is:

The iMac gets slower the longer I use the Internet - to the point that it takes several seconds for each typed character to appear. This is very noticeable with the online browser game Forge of Empires. But, it happens even if not logged on to that game.
Turning the iMac off and restarting it brings it back to what seems like full speed for an hour or so. Then, it starts to noticeably slow down again.1st thing : from my point of view upgrade your mac os to latest version.
(their is mac os x mavericks from apple its free for upgrade so download it and install it.)

Macbook Pro runs slower the longer it stays on
For about the last week, my macbook pro has been running slow. It runs normally for a couple hours after starting up but after a couple hours, it starts running slow. It freezes constantly, I get the spinning beach ball doing the simplest tasks. Finder takes forever to open, moving one or two small files takes a ridiculous amout of time, safari freezes, when I swipe four fingers up for mission control, it freezes, basically everything runs slow or freezes. But when I restart my computer, it runs like normal for a couple hours. I ran an extended diagnostic test and it came back normal. I verified the disk and it came back abnormal but I was able to repair it so that's fine now and I verified disk permissions and that was normal. I have 368GB of free space on my hard drive and I don't run that many applications at once and all of my updates are current. I have no idea what's going on.
Disk is verified and repaired.
Few more steps you can try are:
Start up in Safe Mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4373
Procedure is same though the title says 10.7 Lion.

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers
Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers
The speakers will have to be externally powered and have internal amplifiers. Is that the case?

My MacBook Pro getting slower and slower, what do I need to do to speed it? Thanks.
Help to speed up my MacBook Pro.
By slower you mean starting up slower or during regular operation slower?

4.84 GB Page-outsIf you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as some other aspects of the configuration that may be related to the problem.
Don’t be alarmed by the seeming complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out. Here's a brief summary: In each of two steps, you copy a line of text from this web page into a window in another application. You wait about a minute. Then you paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is copy; paste; paste again. That's all there is to it. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken while booted in “normal” mode. If the system is now running in safe mode and is bootable in normal mode, reboot as usual. If it only boots in safe mode, use that.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. They do nothing but produce human-readable output. However, you need to think carefully before running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just 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, and you can then copy it.
If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the 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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB=/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy; PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; PC () { o=$(grep [^[:blank:]] "$2"); PR "$1"; }; PF () { o=$($PB -c Print "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); PR "$1"; }; PN () { [[ $o -eq 0 ]] || printf "\n%s: %s\n" "$1" $o; }; { system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; PR "POST"; o=$(( $(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256 )); [[ $o -gt 1024 ]] && printf "\nPageouts: %s MiB\n" $o; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); PR "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); PR "Inserted libraries"; PC "cron configuration" /e*/cron*; o=$(crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "User cron tasks"; PC "Global launchd configuration" /e*/lau*; PC "Per-user launchd configuration" ~/.lau*; PF "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; PF "Per-user login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; PF "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); PN "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist") || ID=; ID=${ID:-No bundle ID}; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf '%s\n\t(%s)\n' "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); PR "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); PR "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); PN "Font problems"; for d in {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d"); PR "$d"; done; } 2> /dev/null | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 1 done'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. Wait for the line "Step 1 done" to appear below what you entered. The output of the command will beautomatically copied to the Clipboard. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-Vagain. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
PR () { [[ "$o" ]] && printf '\n%s:\n\n%s\n' "$1" "$o"; }; { o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); PR "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); PR "Login hook"; o=$(sudo crontab -l | grep [^[:blank:]]); PR "Root cron tasks"; o=$(syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'); PR "Log check"; } 2>&- | pbcopy; echo $'\nStep 2 done'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal. Please note:
☞ Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — type only your login password when prompted.
☞ When you type your password, you won't see what you're typing.
☞ If you don’t have a password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
☞ Step 2 might not produce any output, in which case the Clipboard will be empty. Step 1 will always produce something.
☞ The commands don't change anything, and merely running them will do neither good nor harm.
☞ Remember to post the output. It's already in the Clipboard. You don't have to copy it. Just paste into a reply
☞ If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of either command, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
☞ Don't post the contents of the Terminal window.
☞ Don't paste the output of Step 1 into the Terminal window. Paste it into a reply. -

Why won't my MacBook Pro get past the login screen
My MacBook isn't getting past the login. I log in but it stops and keeps a blank screen
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
MacBook Pro getting slower and slower
My MacBook Pro has been slowing down, to the point of "click... wait 60 seconds... click... wait 60 seconds".
Around 8 weeks ago, headed on in to Apple Store, to find my Hard Drive was dead (we actually watched it die completely once they hooked it up to their network to try and save my stuff, that was the last straw for it). One new Hard Drive later and I've been happily enjoying my much faster Mac. Until the last week.
It's worse when I try and use AirPlay - extending desktop to TV to watch a movie, that just kills it.
I've run Disk Repair. I've cleaned out any start up items I could find. I know I probably could do with some more RAM, and I'll do that when the budget allows.
I used to be able to run InDesign, Illustrator, VLC, Word, Safari, AirPlay and Mail at once no issues - now it struggles with two tabs in Safari. Have I killed another hard drive?

Slowly I turned.... Why is my Quad Core MacBook Pro getting slower with each Lion update?
I upgraded to Lion on my 20011 15" 2.0GHZ Quad Core MacBook Pro. The machine crashed at least 7 times (reports forwarded). I upgraded to 10.7.1 hoping for the crashes to go away. It began to crashed once a week. On checking the console reports Virus Barrier and Kaspersky (****!) used with Parallels seemed to be causing the crashes. Turn those puppies off and the crashes disappeared. HOWEVER, the computer is slow; opening mail seems 50% slower than on my MacBook 13". Today after spending 3 hours updating to 10.7.2, all apps seems to be dragging. Any ideas out there?
MichaelOK. Here's some test results. The most intense process I use on my Macs is using Handbrake to encode either DVDs or mkv files to mp4 files which generally pushes all cores to the max. I am using the latest 64bit version of Handbrake on both Macs.
So I took a sample mkv file of 65 seconds length and ran it using the same settings on both the Mac Pro (2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 8GB RAM) and the Macbook Pro (2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB RAM), straight after starting up both Macs so that there was plenty of RAM to spare on both. I ran the test two times on each Mac and got similar results both times, with the best results on each machine being as follows:
Mac Pro: max RAM used: 380MB, Time for encode: 102 seconds
Macbook Pro: max RAM used: 495MB, Time for encode: 84 seconds
This was for a 2-pass encoding with Turbo first pass to 2200kbps MP4 file from 720p mkv file.
So the Macbook Pro is coming in considerably quicker for this particular task. I'm not sure why the Mac Pro used less RAM, and whether this is the main factor in the time difference. Like I said, there was plenty of unused RAM on both Macs when I ran the test. I am no expert on the inner workings of Macs!
Needless to say though, I am happy with the results and very happy with the new Macbook Pro.

Hello,
My macbookpro is getting slower day by day . Its got i7 processor and 4 gbs of ram with 500 gbs of total space and 425.1 gbs of free space... Pls suggest what i shoud do now to get it work fast again ... osx 10.9.2 mavericks
ThanksLaunch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Macbook pro is slowing or freezing when using fcp x
I am having a nightmare with FCP X performance. It just can't be right that problems I am having are normal. I have a new macbook pro with 2.6Ghz , 16GB Ram, 512 SSD and connected to a lacie thunderbolt rugged drive. Just about as good as it gets outside a monster mac pro right. When editing the projects I am getting consistent delays of a second or more and randomly I get ones that are longer and the machine freezes completely. When I try and look into it on activity monitor the only thing that seems to be taxed is the RAM but even that does not seem to be maxed. Sometime if I clip on another app there is a delay and I thought maybe that could be because FCP X is hogging the RAM but can't tell. All software is up to date. The projects do have mixed frame rates and resolutions but that should be ok. I have not even started to colour correct yet, there are a number of retiming and effects but nothing much.
It is driving me crazy as I am looking to use shortcuts and keyboard commands but I am constantly waiting….. very…very..frustrating. I have set prefs to better performance and tried proxy editing while editing. I have switched of background editing as well. I can not use this software anymore if this is what I must get used to. Please can anyone help with this as it is going to cost me money. I have been using FCPX for a while and don't want to have to learn a new one when this should work.
I am still unsure if I should render only when in original footage pref and if I shouod render before exporting. I do render as I thought it would output a lower bit rate if not.
Thanks for your time and any advice is welcome
AWith such a machine the slowness is *not* normal. Does it happen *all the time*?
You are right that low RAM is often the cause of slowdowns, but that would happen if your free RAM is in the tens of MB - it does not seem to be the case.
Do you have many projects and events available? All these take up RAM. You can disable the projects and events that you are not working on - use Event Manager or manually create a "Final Cut Events - Hidden" and a "Final Cut Projects - Hidden" folder and move unused events and projects in the Finder (while FCP X is not running).
The usual first recommendation is to trash your preferences. All sorts of misbehavior can occur if the preferences files get corrupted. Use Preference Manager (free from Digital Rebellion) to trash your preferences. -
My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl. It started when I was printing off the internet. Now I get a "spinning ball" with many actions. Any help?

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."
