LaniBari,
what is Remote Converter? It seems to be consuming the vast majority of your CPU’s cycles. The presence of nearly 8 GB of page-outs suggests that your MacBook Pro’s 2 GB of RAM is not enough for your software’s needs.

I have a Macbook Pro that was slowing down. The HD was nearly full as I do a video work. I removed over 400gb of photos and video and it made no difference. I ran disk inventory x and that says that there is only 60gb on the hard drive but disk utility says there is still 430gb on the HD. How do I remove what DU says is still there.
Thanks

You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.

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 started running slow and freezing up

Hi,
What are some things I can do when my MacBook Pro starts running slow and freezing up? For example, windows are slow to open, and that pinwheel thing keeps spinning. Clean up tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

tamyc,
You can try resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller;
You can try booting into Safe mode, to see whether it runs just as slowly (and freezes up) then;
You can try disabling your antivirus software, to see if that makes a difference;
You can download, install, and run EtreCheck, and include in your reply the output from an EtreCheck run, which might help identify software which should be uninstalled or updated.

MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding..

MacBook Pro is running slow and All applications getting not responding after every 30 seconds. I have tested by hardware test nothing wrong with hardware. I am worried Because I am totally stuck with my macbook pro Help me Please !!! I have tested by creating guest account and also new account as administrator. same thing happened. apps running. I opened activity monitor and watched carefully when any app stucked, In activity monitor there is in front of ap name following text appeared : (Not Responding) in red color. 129GB free memory, 4 GB RAM Core i3 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
Instant help needed..
Thanks in ADVANCE !!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

All you need is an Ethernet cable.
Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.

Why is my macbook pro running so slow and losing internet connection?

Why is my Macbook Pro downloading so slowly and losing internet connection frequently?

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 mid-2012 Slow, and laggy

My Macbook has been running slow, and laggy aswell. I don't know whats wrong with it. I took my Macbook to the store where I bought it to see if they could fix it. After 4 days in the warehouse I came to take it back, and they said that we didn't find anything wrong with the hardware, but something with the software. They said that I had to reinstall it, but they couldn't cuz it was not included in the insurance. When I came back home, I did a backup, erased everything, and did a fresh install of Mavericks(took 1 day cuz it was slow and laggy). When My macbook reinstalled the problem was still there. It was much better before the reinstallation, but still a little slow. I also ran disc utility but it affect the problem. I also have another probelm is when I put my macook in sleep, I close the lid and then it gets hot, like if I'm playing a game or something which I don't. The light is turned off when I'm using my mac, it gets a little dim when I put my Mac to sleep with the lid open. When I close the lid the light gets bright and it shows the pulse like pattern at random points. I had to turn my mac off cuz I take it to school, and when I take it out from my bag its hot like a fry pan. The overheat also affects my battery life time in a high degree. I had 80% when I closed the lid and put it in my bag, and it got 22% when I took it out. I also did some search up with no luck so I hope you guys can help me, please, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

I was referring to this link that I posted earlier:

What about the problem when I close the lid it starts getting hot, like the processor is working at its limits???
Run an Apple Hardware Test, that may develop a clue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Also what about the caches, because it was written that it can slow down mac's performance if they are corrupted, and I don't know if the are corrputed.
One eliminates that as a possibility by cleaning them. A Safe boot will do that. Also look in the 'Safe Mac' link, the last entry titled "Clear Caches".
Ciao.

Back up your Mac if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.
Uninstall MacKeeper:
Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 required more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

My MacBook Pro is increasingly slow and displays the beachball way too much. I have an Etresoft report.
