New - Macbook Pro - Running slow, beach ball spinning all the time
I've had my Macbook pro about 3 weeks and the beach ball is constantly spinning and I'm constantly having to force quit programs. Between Mail, Safari, and Aperture. Any ideas?
Robin
ONE POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I've recently had the beach ball appearing every 30 seconds or so and then the Mac totally freezes.
After trying all the suggestions online, the solution that fixed my problem was to reset the SMU. It basically forces the fan to maximum power and cools your mac down. The problems I had were being caused by an overheating Mac, even though it looked like a system software issue!
The reset the SMU:
Shut your Mac down.
Unplug the power cable from the back of the mac and any other devices (keyboard, etc).
Leave the mac for at least 10 seconds.
Hold down the power button on the back of the mac.
Keep holding down the power button and re-attach the power cable.
Once the power cable is in place, release the power button.
Now press the power button again to start-up your mac. (You can plug your devices back in now).
You should now hear the fan at maximum levels (it's very noisy!).
If you have the same problem that I had, your mac should start to cool and your mac should start operating preperly again (it may take a few minutes).
If this works, you'll then need to download FAN CONTROL FOR MAC.
It's a control panel that better regulates the temperature of your mac than the standard settings.

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?
try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
I am not sure you have home shareing with 10.4.11 but if you do it works very nicely

Hello ,
I am not very good with tech things , I have a Mac Book Pro and have had it for almost two years with no problems. Now for the past week or so it has started running extremely slow and freezing up all the time. I am not really sure what is going on but is there any advice on something to do or any idea what could be wrong.My MacBook Pro is running very slow.

Why is my new macbook pro running slow?
I bought a new macbook pro in october 2012. It has always run very fast without a problem.
Yesterday i noticed when i opened up apps the app symbol would bounce in the dock for a good 20 - 30 seconds and i would get the spinning beachball icon. I have repaired disk and disk permissions but this has not helped. I havnt downloaded any new apps or anything and my virus software says there is no virus.
Please help???????I am also so dsappointed of buying macbook pro for the first time,and to think it was just almost a month ago....I am worried about the over heating issue,battery span that never lasprot that long as what the advertisement says...I really take extra care of this gadget because it is my first time having this so expenssive lappy...Ooohhh before I forget,my gadget is Macbook Pro 13 with memory of 8gb 1600 MHz DDR3..processor 2.9GHz Intel core I7...the only heave application tha I downloaded was the Mountain Lion I think ,and it was updated now from 10.8.1 - 10.8.2 ..maybe the next heavy app is the google chrome...and the rest is those apps that I bought from the Apple store that didnt cost me $10...before buying this unit ,I am using a lappy from Gateway with windows OS that runs slowly because of maybe being so old...lol I am using it for almost 3yrs because I only bought it from a junk shop alternately with Dell desktop thats so cheap,I only bought it almost $200 from a junkshop still.now after learning to fix and upgrade computers,I upgraded the DELL desktop from 1GB to 2GB,but I upraded my hardrive from 80gb to 1000gb...now I did test booting the 2,the desktop and this new Macbook Pro.my dell really boot so fast half more than this macbook pro...when I am downloading videos,really the Dell desktop have the fastest loading and downloading...I am not kidding and telling lies...I am so shock to know the real truth....I am sorry, but i is really true...But I promise my self to take care of this gadget because its my first time to have a genuinely brand new gadget and so expenssive...if no one believe this, i will upload a video on my youtube accnt just to prove that I am not telling a lie...oooh before I forget...just to prove that this gadget is geguine and new, here is the Serial Number of my Macbook Pro 13 which I posses almost a month now.. Serial Number C0******DTY4

New Macbook Pro running slow?
I just got a brand new Macbook pro little over a month ago and it has been working great. I installed OS X Lion a day after the initial release date and have been thrilled with it so far. It was able to load 1080p HD YouTube videos great, which my old desktop PC would never have been able to do, but within the last week I haven't even been able to load 360p videos without pausing and letting it buffer for a minute or so before watching something. The internet is fine. The signal is strong and the speed hasn't changed on any other internet device in the house. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Any suggestions? Let me know if you need more info.
Thanksusuallly sometimes when many people are using the internet in the house then the internet starts to get slower even when it shows full connection. and if you download too many things then the mac starts to get slow. try doing these things when no one else is using the internet connection

MacBook Pro 2011 get hot and noise all the time and slowly ?
hi. why MacBook Pro get too hot and make a noise all the time i have Yosemite ,mac late 2011 and became very slow?
Games are very CPU/GPU intensive applications and will heat up the MBP. That will result in the fans increasing speed in order to dissipate the heat. This actually is an expected result and for the type of application, is 'normal'.
I you plan to play a lot of games, consider getting a cooling pad twhich will tend to mitigate the heating.
Ciao. -
NEW macbook pro running slow ~ i hate the rainbow pinwheel
i have a two-week old MacBook Pro.
it has been running slow ever since I got it.
the apple genius bar guy pulled up my activity monitor and said it was normal.
how can a constant rainbow pinwheel be normal???
because i use it for business, i had to download Outlook and now i can barely get anything to run without the stupid rainbow pinwheel.
it has 4GB or memory. do I need to add another 4GB or is there something else I can do?
i can't believe how this "powerful machine" feels like i'm trudging in the mud.
thanks for your help.Ok, so I'm pretty new to this and want to make sure I answer each of your questions.
Right now, my computer is behaving (of course)... so I might need to do this again when I've got a pinwheel or beach ball or whatever they call that spinning rainbow torture device. So, the numbers below reflect my computer without the pinwheel (probably not helpful for troubleshooting)....
What is it, and what is the process? ~ Outlook 20.6%
Also post the values for % User, 4.89%
% System, and 8.13%
% Idle at the bottom of the window. 85.03%
What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs ~ 443.7
and Swap used? 183.7

Macbook pro mid 2009 - beach ball spinning after one hour
Hi,
I have a problem with my macbook pro mid 2009. After one hour of working the beach ball starts spinning and you cannot work anylonger.
You have to force shut down the macbook pro and restart it. The same problem appears once I wanna do a back-up on my time capsule, but then I receive at least a report after restart:

Can somebody help me, what's wrong with my macbook? I already changed the ram, but it didn't help...
Best regards,
SebastianHi,
I just found the problem. I just have to update the firmware of my SSD:
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs 5184 hours power-on time BSOD issue
Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs with firmware earlier than 70H / 07M could become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point. Update firmware to version 70H / 07M or later.
My SSD has now 5690hours... -
New MacBook Pro Running Slow after repairs?
Hi Everyone,
I have 3 month old MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM running Leopard 10.5.5 which I bought back in June.
It was working beautifully until a month ago when it suddenly had a problem where the trackpad, the keyboard and the left had USB port stopped working, but it would work with an external keypad and mouse through the right hand USB port.
I took it o the recommended Apple service centre and the fixed it in a few days by replacing the trackpad the keyboard, the uSB port and the logic board.
It all works again but has been running really slow ever since, even taking a long time to open up folders and about 4 times as long as it used to to copy files to USB flash drives.
Any ideas on things I can try to fix it up?Thanks,
Yes I just checked and there's still 4GB or RAM. Another thing I've noticed to day is that the Hard Drive seem to be making a bit of general low background noise when nothing is going on and the activity monityor says not much is happenning. From memory it used to be quieter in the past. -
New Macbook Pro Running Slow. What can I do?
Hey there! I purchased a 15'' Macbook Pro about two months ago. I tried running Starcraft II on it, and it performed great.
Then, while I was playing, it started running -really- well. I had maxed out all the settings, and somehow the framerate was a constant 90-100. Now if I do this I get about 10 frame rate or less, maybe. If I run on even the lowest settings I can't get higher than 65 or so.
I know it's not related to an SMC reset or anything like that. I think there must be some setting on the mac that I'd enabled to cause the game to run so well. It's really a great machine- i7 core processor, 8 gigs of ram, a gig of video memory- and it can barely run this game at all, now. This surprises me because my friend's older macbook, which doesn't even have a graphics card, runs the game better than mine does. I think he's on an i5 or i3 processor, with 256 MBs of video memory on an Nvidia card. I'm on an ATI card.
I've tried reinstalling Lion OSx, I've tried going into Bootcamp, and I've tried all the SMC reset tricks and Disk Repair tricks out there; I've also reinstalled and repaired the game. Another problem is that no drivers seem to work for my graphics card in Windows 7; they all say they're not compatable. Actually, if I run a program called AT Monitor, in OSx, I see that apparently my GPU usage is "0". Does this make sense to anybody?
And then, if I run my video card in Windows 7, for some reason my computer throttles it to 100hz/150hz.
Finally, the charger seems to be running really hot, like really hot. I started noticing the heat in the battery/charger around when the computer started not working well.
I would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.Third-party system modifications are a common cause of instability and poor performance. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
Launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- do not type -- the line of text below into the window, and press return:
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Next, do the same thing with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
That's one line, not two. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Next, this command:
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
Again, one line. Finally, one more:
ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal. -

the fan should be on whenever your mac is turned on. Mine is at about 2000 rpm at idle. And the display light, or slep light indicator will only flash when your mac is in sleep mode.

Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots
My Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots recently.
After I installed 10.5.7 it started happening. When I open anything including system prefs and apple apps the ball appears. I'm on 10.5.8 and it seems to be either as slow or slower. Startup is a bit faster now, but it'll go to the beach ball before I even do anything remotely intensive on the system.
My computer is almost 3 years old but I don't install any weird software on it and have 30% of my system disk free. I'm an audio guy and use logic, pro tools and generally keep my computer clean.
I've tried starting another user account to check if its my original user that has the issue, but thats just as slow too.
Please help...
Thanks
Oh yeah, I repaired disk permissions too but it hasn't seemed to have changed anythingThanks for the reply Dale.
I have just tried that and Disk Utility said my MAc HD appears to be ok....????
So I don't really understand what else I can do...
I tried using Onyx a couple of months ago but it seemed to make things worse and more temperamental.
If there is a next level of solutions I could try it would be much appreciated.
This is what appears when I verify or repair the permissions... I doesn't change if I repair them though.....
