Start with a SMC reset:

Run an Apple hardware test.

You may have to use OPTION D to start it.
Take a look at Activity Monitor, set to 'All Processes' for possible clues.
Look at these two user tips:

Macbook Pro is slow, freezes constantly and I'm forced to hold down the power button to turn it off.

Hey all,
This is my first post/discussion so hopefully I'm posting in the right section and all. Anyway, as of recently (few days) my Macbook Pro 15" (model previous to the one just released) has been been slow + lagging, also when this happens my computer freezes, but its kind of different: I can still move the cursor around and stuff, but for instance, if its google chrome that freezes I won't be able to close it, (tried force quit), after this, my whole computer kinda freezes and I can't close any of my programs, I can't click on the menu's at the top to shut down or doing anything really, eg. change internet connections. Closing my macbook, like shutting the lid doesn't solve anything, only turning it off by holding the power button for a few seconds, which I'm almost certain isn't a good thing. I've had to do this like 3 times today and its getting pretty frustrating.
Something tells me that it might be because of memory usage, but I'm not entirely sure, I only say this because when looking at the available/free memory using iStat sometimes, its really low, like 12mb, 30mb, etc.
Anyway, I know that's quite a lot of infomration but hopefully its useful, if there's any additional information you require that may be of help to you, please tell me and I'll do my best to provide it.
Thanks,
Roshen.

Roshen,
There are a couple of things you can try, but it sounds to me as if it's a problem with your hard drive.
First, open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and see how much of your CPU % is being used by any one application (you can sort by %). If any one application/process is taking up more than 15% or so of your CPU, try killing (quitting) the process.
Second, since yours is a 2011 model, it will have come with Lion installed. Shut down your machine and boot up while holding down the Command and R keys. Open Disk Utility and verify your disk. If it comes up with errors, click repair.
If neither of these work, take your MBP into your local Apple Store. You should still be under warranty, even if you didn't purchase AppleCare. All beforehand and make an appointment.
Good luck,
Clinton

Macbook Pro is slow, freezing all the time and has Wi-Fi problems

Hello!
My Macbook Pro started acting kinda strange a couple of weeks ago. It's slow, freezing all the time and constantly connecting and reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network after around half a minute of usage.
Here is the story, as far as I know:
In the start of 2014, pup-up boxes started popping up on my Macbook Pro. They said that I had to enter a password for the Keychain to gain access to a service or something. The odd thing about it was that I had never set up my iCloud Keychain. It just started appearing without me knowing why. Unfortunately, I didn't know the password for this due to the fact that I never set it up. I tried every password combination that could possibly work, but I didn't get through it. I tried different solutions, but nothing worked out. I solved it by simply making a new user account on my Mac. I used this for like 1 month before the whole Mac with all its user started messing itself up.
It might be worth to notice that this secondary-user didn't require a password to log in, so when I closed my Macbook and re-opened it, it would continue where it was left off. This might have been the reason for the Mac sometimes to get really warm while being in my backpack, which might also have caused the problem. I am not sure though.
After using the secondary user for a while, the Mac started acting strange again. This time it was something different. One day, my girlfriend started up my Macbook Pro and noticed that it was extremely slow. I assumed it was just in the need of a restart, but that wasn't it. The computer started freezing all the time at first. It froze when I clicked something in an application, and I had to wait like 10 seconds for it to go back to normal. If I was typing anything on Facebook, it would freeze, but I could still use any other tab of the browser without any problems. However, they would freeze to if I did anything special on other websites. Every other program would also freeze for reasons like typing or clicking on anything.
After a short while, it started being really slow during startup and use. A few days ago, my Macbook Pro also started disconnecting from Wi-Fi networks while trying to load pages. It doesn't disconnect every time, but it does sometimes. It tries to reconnect after that, and if it succeed's, everything is back to normal for a while.
Additionaly, the battery have been draining faster, and when it reached 0%, the computer turned off and closed all the open programs. Normally it has entered Sleep Mode, but not anymore.
Do any of you have any clue what the issue might be?
I have done the following:
- Reset PRAM
- Restore to system defaults
- Installed AVG Antivirus and scanned it
- Repaired and verified disk in Disk Utility.
- Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player.
I hope anyone can help me! I really need my computer for educational use!

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. 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) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. 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 from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. 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 (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.
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.

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 startup on my macbook pro extremely slow (3 minutes) after Yosemite install?

Prior to Yosemite upgrade, my mid-2010 Macbook pro (4 gb RAM) booted up fairly quickly (within 1 minute). After the Yosemite installation, boot time now is approximately 3 minutes. I have repaired disc permissions and that did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?

nothing seems out of order, apart from the useless Norton Internet Security.
though, since you don't have lots of RAM, consider rebooting the Mac everyso often ( "Time since boot: 7 days 3:2:21").
" Battery Health: Replace Now": indeed, the battery is dead
Did it start getting slow since Yosemite upgrade? (the new OS does tend to slow things down)

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.

MacBook Pro burn DVD failed even after installing Leopard 10.5.2

Ever since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard my 17in MacBook Pro has failed to burn DVDs.
It managed to burn a couple discs after the upgrade, but soon proceeded to give various error messages whenever I have attempted to burn a DVD. The most common error is:
+Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022)+
This is when using "Burn folders" to write large folders/files onto DVD (+3gig). It always fails about halfway through the disc, so if I write smaller folders it will often complete successfully. CD-Rs generally burn fine too.
I have tried various media and burning apps to no avail.
*I was hoping Leopard Update 10.5.2 would fix this issue, but alas it has not!*
Before I installed the update I had also unsuccessfully tried various solutions offered in this forum, such as resetting the PRAM and creating a new user account.
I would greatly appreciate anyone's insights, solutions or plan of action to resolve this issue. This is my first Mac (a rather expensive investment here in South Africa) and it has been awesome using it up until this point!

and look below link...
3 month past ... but not have any solution ...
we can't burn DVD still ...

Macbook pro running slow and jumpy after clean lion install

Did an upgrade to Lion. Macbook pro was really slow, tried disk repair and repairing permission as well as resetting the smc. No luck. Did a clean install of Lion, still jumpy though a bit faster. Again verified disk (didnt need repair) and repaired permission, as well as smc reset. Still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

What do you mean, 'jumpy'? Also, has Spotlight stopped indexing? Check the magnifying class in the upper right corner and click on it. If it doesn't say it's indexing, then it completed that task. How much RAM do you have in your system?

Macbook Pro has slow start up after Time Machine restore

My 2.4 Ghz Santa Rosa MBP had Ubuntu Hardy and 10.5 on it. I played with Ubuntu for a while and decided to go back to OS X only. I wiped the HDD and reinstalled Leopard, then restored from a time machine back-up. Since then, my MBP has gone to a white blank screen for about 5 or 6 seconds before displaying an apple on start up. What could be causing this? I tried disk utility options, nothing worked, restored from a different back- up with no luck also. Any Ideas? My start up has slowed a very noticeable amount since going back to one OS
Thanks in Advance

Macbook pro 2011 slow to sleep after upgrade from SL to Maveriks

Hi
i have a problem...after upgrade to Mav. (from the app store) my computer need 50+ sec to go to sleep mode. why?
i search for the causes here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776 but nothing.....
i think that the only way is by terminal with "pmset -g log" but i don't understand.

I have noticed this exact same issue last night/today. I upgraded last night as well.
I have been chatting with apple support and have tried Safe boot, SMC reset, PRAM/NVRAM reset, testing on a new user account.
Nothing seems to be fixing it, is it a known OS issue. As having a mechanical HDD with a sleep time of 30 seconds is potentially a problem.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard which had a shutdown/sleep time of a 1-2 seconds. I'm considering going back to Snow Leopard.

Wi-fi not working even after phone reset to factory settings

My wi-fi was not working anywhere so someone at the Apple store reset my phone to factory settings and the wifi is still not working. It says Unable To Join Network when I try to join a wifi network.

I've been having problems myself since 1.1.2. I have to constantly turn off WiFi and then turn it back on again before it will find my home network, even when I'm standing right in front of it. I never had this problem with 1.1.1
I wish Apple would put in some actual features with the updates instead of just trying to one-up the hackers and screw up everything else on the system. I am glad to finally have my custom (non-financially-extorted) ringtones back though. Now, if I could have my ringtones AND working WiFi...

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:

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.

Getting low FPS on MacBook Pro Retina 15" (2012) even after resetting SMC

I am getting very low FPS on Guild Wars 2 (between 25 and 40) and on Dibalo averaging at about (30 FPS) when playing on 1440 Resolution and Medium Settings. I've seen videos online with much better FPS using the same configuration as my Mac.
I've reset the SMC, PRAM and made sure that the nVidia card is running using gfxCardStatus
Anyone knows if this could be a faulty GPU Card?

I would make sure it's not running the game in the screens native res as that would be soo high even a gaming laptop would struggle

My MacBook Pro will not charge, even after resetting the SMC.

My MBP will not charge. It's only a little less than 2 years old. I've reset the SMC and even an employee at the genius bar has, it still isn't charging. When I plug in the cord, my battery remains at 13% with a plug icon inside the battery. When I click on the battery, it says "Battery Not Charging" in gray.
This is my battery information:
