Performance deteriorating even after reformat/reinstall + cleaning inside

Hey all,
I've been noticing a decline in performance in my 2007 MBP. When running previously working CPU-Intensive projects in Reason/Logic, the processors use up much more processing power than before, causing the programs to cease playback.
I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM, with no luck, so I reformatted and did a fresh re-install of 10.5 (via firewire from another MBP in TDM mode as my superdrive has become somewhat DVD-challenged ^_^) but I've only noticed a slight improvement and the projects are still overloading my CPU.
I opened up the mac and found a lot of dust buildup on the heatsinks, with the right fan vent being totally blocked. My computer no longer gets anywhere near as hot as it should, but I'm wondering if it could have caused some irreparable damage through overheating.
Is there anything I can do to regain lost CPU performance?

I was hoping. Oh well.
I took it back home, and thought i'd try it with my old HD. Forgot to copy over any of the test files from my new HD so i reconnected it without rescrewing the case, and everything started magically working, my projects weren't stopping mid-song anymore!
Interesting.
Doing a little dance of joy, I then rescrewed the case, turned it on, and its back to being a glorified paperweight again.
This is with the old HD that was working fine with the case apart?
The case is in quite bad nick, it's been everywhere with me for the last 4 years so maybe it's become warped, and the fixing screws are applying pressure on some plugs/sockets/devices that's causing it to misbehave. That's the only idea i have right now.
I'm gna try the old HD again with the test files that should run fine, just to rule out the HD.
I'm truly baffled!
Far from being baffled, It sounds like you're on the right track. The case putting pressure on cable/connection/component was not uncommon on the old TiBooks. I haven't heard much about that with these machines (beyond the battery affecting the keyboard/trackpad cable), but it's definitely a possibility. As is HD. As is HD cable/connector.

  • Acrobat X Pro won't open.  Even after a reinstall - what can I do?

    My Acrobat X Pro won't open - even after a reinstall.  What can I do?

    Thanks Jeff - what's strange is that I've been prompted a few times since installation to register the software, so I don't know why it would be doing that if it's already registered.
    When prompted, I would follow the links to the registration information page, and then work through the registration process, and then when prompted to enter the serial code it does not accept it. I've tried the serial code that came with the license, as well as the serial codes for the individual products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.), and none of those were accepted by the registration form. So "registering to an account which includes your companies information would be sufficient." does not seem to be working for me, unless there is more to "including the companies information" then I've seen in the sign up pages.
    To be clear, I'm not fumbling around blindly here, I've done a lot to try and register the product myself and have yet to succeed.
    My questions are these (and apologies if this is not directly related to the OT), 1) is there a way to confirm the product is registered, 2) if it is not registered, what specifically do I need to tell the purchasing people to do to make sure it is registered properly, and 3) after following the process here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/acrobat-failed-launch-30-days.html - does this fix the Acrobat issue for good, or will I have to repeat this process in another 30 days? Does lack of registration potentially affect other products in the Web and Design Creative Suite?
    Thanks again for the assistance, I'm hoping to get enough information to be able to give our IT folks a clear resolution to the registration issue.

  • Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is still running and not responding close firefox...

    Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
    What can I do?

    Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.

  • Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

    My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
    My questions are follows:
    Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
    At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
    Which webcam I should get?
    Thank you very much!
    Tian

    Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

    firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -
    have not yet uninstalled with deletion of all user files.
    greasemonkey runs some javascripts - I don't give a hoot if they are "secure" or not, or indeed anything about "security". oh well I am odd that way.

    Firefox beta 17.0b2 - Windows 7 pro x64 - problem started 10.13.12 after whatever Firefox auto update(s) installed that day. Not all sites, but MANY. e.g., Facebook. Whether Javascript enabled or not, with Firefox extensions/plugins on or off. Experienced as few as 4, as many as 20 (!!!!) error boxes to close before able to continue - depending on the site. Open in another tab or window still error boxes on CURRENT window, even if current site has no problem. Page refresh causes error boxes again. Any navigation on offending site (clicking on site links, opening photos, etc.) causes, again, error boxes.
    Troubleshooting: Uninstalled Java. Reboot, then tested Firefox, no relief. Uninstalled Firefox. Reboot. Reinstalled Firefox (17.0b2). Reboot, then tested again, no change. Upgraded Java to most recent (1.7.90.5). No change. Subsequently added Firebug and ConsoleExport so can provide more info.

    I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Next
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Firefox opens multiple times (many windows) when click once, even after a reinstall in Windows 7.

    There really isn't much more to say, except that the situation occurs even after restarts.

    The cause is most likely the preferences file in your profile folder. That file contains your personal settings, so it doesn't get deleted when you reinstall/update Firefox. The reset feature also retains your preferences file.
    Instead of doing a mass delete of all your settings, you can try identify the culprits and reset them individually.

  • Icons keep appearing overlying the menu line. This error remains even after a reinstall

    Adobe Acrobat 11 pro. Running under Windows 7. Continually failed to update and now the program appears corrupt and cannot be corrected even after a new installation. Acrobat icons appear over the top line menus so that it is impossible to close a file or the program. The program appears normal when you open it but the moment the mouse pointer passes over the top line icons appear where the pointer has passed.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Powerbook is giving me the Mac version of BSOD, even after reformat!

    Hey everyone. Wish I could say I was a happy poster. I've been using Macs since I was 6, and was psyched to get a Powerbook last June for college. It worked flawlessly up until winter break, when it started getting all these weird crashes that became more and more prevalent. Something I'd never seen before--a Mac BSOD where a grey windowshade pulls down and it tells me I need to restart.
    This was happening every few minutes--got to the point where I could barely log in. I logged in as another user--it didn't happen so quickly to that user--and did permissions repair. Nothing. Reset PRAMs, etc, everything.
    When I got back to school, I noticed that I was low on HD space. Lower than I should have been. When I went to copy my user directory to my external HD, I noticed that though Finder told me my user directory was 46 gigs, I was only copying 7.65 over. I have 20 gigs of music I wasn't going to back up--my iPod is for that--so where were the extra 19 gigs coming from?
    Well, my Library, when it was being copied, was 2.1 gigs. That's the version that was backed up.
    The library on my home directory? 22 gigs.
    I figured something had gone crazily out of control, so I tried to reformat it. Zeroed the disk. Then it wouldn't install off my 10.4 upgrade disk, and when I tried to book off a 10.3 disk from the kid down the hall, the Apple logo fragmented and it wouldn't nudge.
    So I started it in target disk mode and installed 10.3 from that kid's laptop. Messy, but it was the only option. Restarted my computer and it seemed to work...then I got the message again. Restarted, and it was fine for a week, during most of which I left it on except for the obligatory restarts for reinstalling programs.
    Well, today it started happening again. And the problems are coming more quickly now. I'm kind of surprised that I've managed to type out this message (knock on wood) because normally having my comp on for this long would kill it. But I'm only running Safari, so maybe that's why...I'm not taxing it.
    I'm running 10.4 on a Powerbook 12" with 768 megs RAM.
    What in the holy **** is happening to my computer? Can anyone suggest a fix that maybe a zeroing of the disk and jerry-rigged install might have missed? Or is this the type of thing where I need to send it back to Apple and pray that they fix it quickly type thing?
    Oh, when I copied my files back over from the external HD, I barely copied anything from the (presumably corrupted) Library. My mail and my fonts--that's it.
    H.E.L.P. Apple forums, you haven't let me down before...please help now! Has anyone else had this problem? Does any of this make sense?

    Powerbook 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I recently had a client with a similar problem, but hers was on a PowerMac G5. She could be working and she would get random crashes. I updated her to 10.4 from 10.3. After that she could barely get logged in before it would crash. And at times, she didn't even get the grey screen, her computer stopped working.
    I finally traced it down to the RAM in her Mac. She had some from a third-party. Once it was removed, and eventually replaced, her Mac has been working fine. You might want to check the RAM in your Powerbook.
    Remove one module, test it out. Then put it back in and remove the remaining module. Do you get the same results with both of them? Crashes with only one of them? If only one of them causes the crashes, then you can figure out which module to replace.

  • Download Error (Even after OS reinstall!)

    Hey,
    Since the latest update to AAM it seems i cannot download and use adobe applications. Its really frustating, I have even tried a remote session with technical support and they went on to blame me for using Windows. Perfect.
    I have tried reinstalling windows, drivers etc from the basic level, after this i went ahead and installed AAM after this occured it seemed to corrupt.
    I just want this fixed..Yes ive used the repair tool and the uninstall tool which has been put in a FAQ, it simply wont work.
    Your input on this matter would be most greatful.
    Kind Regards

  • MBP stucks on blue screen on login, even after complete reinstall

    Hi everyone!
    This is REALLY driving me nuts. Three days ago, I found one of my MBP apparently on sleep but with fans running full speed and unable to wake up. As usual, when this happens I just force it to turn off but this time after the Apple logo (OS loading) I got stuck on a blue screen before the login window.
    *What I already have DONE trying to solve this (please read)*
    - PVRAM reset
    - SMC reset
    - Full check with Disk Utilities (no problems)
    - Started on verbose and single-user mode and done almost everything there (fsck, checking console.log, etc…)
    - FULL OSX REINSTALL, erasing every partition (even "zeroing" the disk) and installing from external drive (installing from DVD didn't seem to work, but the optical drive is fine). Still same problem.
    *Other symptoms*
    - After waiting like 5-10 minutes on the blue screen, it shows the login window just fine and I can login. From there everything seems to work OK. I can use my computer "fine"
    - OSX loading (gray screen with the Apple logo) takes forever
    - Mac doesn't wake up from sleep
    - It runs quite hot
    - I can boot in safe mode, but the auto-check at the start of that mode doesn't solve the problem
    - When it is stuck on the blue screen, no cursor is shown. If sleep mode kicks in, the computer freezes on the login screen, can't do anything.
    At the beginning I said that one of my MBP was affected. Well, one day after the EXACT SAME happen on my OTHER MBP, EXACT same symptoms. (MBP 4,1 and 3,1 both on 10.6.6)
    I think this could be a corrupt firmware (remember this happens even with the complete reinstall) or a really weird hw failure or something beyond the OS.
    As you can read, I can use my computer (both). I'm writing this on it in fact. But I can't fully fix it and I have spend almost entire days on backups, possible fixes, forum browsing… really this makes my days a living **** (not kidding!)
    Please help me! Thanks in advance (And sorry for my english and the long post!)

    Well, neither of those should be the issue.
    Can't check the FW ports, as I don't have a FW cable (they are somewhat hard to find on my city)
    The reason I ask is because there have been a few cases here where the initial boot process was searching and searching for a FW port, but the port was dead, and it caused long delays similar to yours.
    No, no new HD or RAM, but is not stock HW (upgraded RAM and HD several months ago, never a single problem on either computer).
    RAM may be suspect. Have you updated software recently? Some RAM can be compatible with an earlier OS, but then out of spec after an update. If you have the original RAM, I would put it back in and see if that's the issue. If issue persists, try removing one of the modules and booting; if that doesn't work, swap the module into the other slot. Repeat with other RAM module. This will troubleshoot the RAM and both slots.
    There also seem to be a growing number of issues with non-Apple-branded HDs, so I'm not sure that can be ruled out. If you have original HD, and the time to put it in, and you want to get to the bottom of this, you may want to give that a try.

  • ITunes won't recognize 2nd shuffle, even AFTER fresh reinstall of app

    Truly confusing problem that I am having...
    If you missed my last two posts here is the situation:
    I can not get my new 2nd ipod shuffle to be recognized by iTunes on my powerbook G4 1ghz 17inch EVEN THOUGH the finder shows the correct icon and format of the device. Through many trouble shooting attempts I have determined that the problem was iTunes itself. However, doing a complete wipe and reinstall of iTunes via software update does not fix the problem.
    I am aware that the settings window for the shuffle is TOTALLY different than the one above which is for a normal ipod. There is no autofill option or soundcheck option, etc. Since I am running 10.4.9 and the latest version of iTunes...what is the problem that is preventing the software from recognizing the device for what it is and showing the appropriate settings window?
    Why will iTunes fudge up an ipod shuffle and yet the OS X Finder is correct?
    (The shuffle was reset and synced on a newer machine, I will not erase it and resync the shuffle to my machine because of the problem above. It actually makes the shuffle NOT play music even though I can verify that the data is on there via a 3rd party application called "PodWorks". This is a very strange situation. I have deleted every shred of iTunes or iPod related file from my machine and yet it still persists. Any suggestions?)
    thanks!

    Yeah, I knew there were others out there like me because of the way my situation was handled by my local "mac genius" crew at the Apple store. After they too realized it was not the ipod and trashing iTunes didn't correct the problem, they immediately decided to just give me a new shuffle. I tried to insist that I stay and open the new shuffle right there to see if the problem was truly fixed and they started talking about all this jazz that essentially boiled down to them not really having any idea of how to proceed next...which was to get me to buy a new laptop. How insane to think I need to buy a new laptop for Apple's most basic iPod in their line! My $80 birthday gift was suddenly going to cost me $2799 to be able to use it? I don't think so.
    Hate to seem so negative but I am really frustrated and reading the forums I am realizing that most of the "help" is just members pointing people to easily found information on Apple's site. I am hoping for someone who might at least attempt at an explanation, no matter how unlikely, towards why we are having this issue.

  • SanDisk Cruzer Facet 16GB now only 650MB even after reformatting and erasing several times.

    My iMac was behaving strangely... actually, ever since I've had it, I'm still trying to figure that one out with the help of Apple care. But one of our attempts involved my 16GB flash drive being used as a Disk Recovery Assistant because we discovered that my comuter had somehow lost its copy.
    This means I had to format my flash drive to ONLY contain this Assistant. It's been over a month now, and I'm nearing the end of the semester, so I need my flash drive back. I plugged it into my iMac, and used disk utility to erase everything. I have a copy of what used to be on my computer, but when I went to trasnfer it over, it said I had run out of free space. In the disk utility I saw that it only had about 650MB, even though it's a 16GB flash drive.
    I'm so confused and frustrated. I'm not sure if I did any of this right. I erased it like I said in Disk Utility (several times actually, since it wasn't working), and then switched over to my PC and tried reformatting it there in Windows land. I was still running into the same problem. Not really sure if I should be doing something else or not. I'm still missing almost all of the free space on my flash drive. I'm positive it was 16GB too, it even says so on the back of the flash drive. I've kept it in ExFAT. Tried Mac Extended, MS-DOS(FAT), and it still says 650MB.
    I looked up forums that where people had similar problems, but erasing and reformatting ALWAYS seemed to work for them. Not here. It's not working at all.
    [Edit] I'm wondering if adding the disk recovery assistant created a partition on the drive that I can't see.

    I have reinstalled it now and it says I've had 2 errors within the last hour.
    The Apple Mobile Device service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    Product: iTunes -- This iTunes installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please download and install the 64-bit iTunes installer instead.
    The second one I fixed by downloading the 64-bit iTunes instead - so that shouldn't be an issue anymore.
    iTunes is still not automatically syncing my iPod Touch, and File>Sync iPod is grayed out and I cannot select it.
    Also, just in case you are a computer person, I was wondering what this meant. My e-mail and various accounts were hacked around 2 weeks ago, so I'm kind of paranoid. Is this something I need to be worried about?:

  • Big iMac problems, even after full reinstall

    I am so frustrated!
    A week or so ago I had my Mac taken in for repair through Applecare for a display issue. In replacing the LCD the repair teams informed me there was a problem with the hard drive fan, and that they had replaced this too.
    Background
    When I received my repaired iMac back and powered it on, it wouldn't load past the initial grey screen/spinning gear. I tried absolutely everything I could think of or find online:
    - Resetting the PRAM
    - Performing a SMC reset
    - Booting into single user mode and running fsck
    In doing this I identified numerous little niggles and decided a clean install would be necessary. I found it was near impossible to boot from the iMac's restore disks (Snow Leopard 10.6.2), because it kept ejecting the disk on boot. Eventually, after about 4 hours I managed to get the disk to stay in the drive (not sure how) and boot from it. From selecting the install DVD from the boot launcher I had to wait about 10 minutes to see the installer. From then, it worked as expected and at the speed it always did work at.
    From there, in Disk Utility I performmed Permission and Disk verifications and repairs, then erased the hard drive (I have a backup) and installed again from scratch. This install did not succeed - an error was thrown up about not being able to copy over support files or something and it demanded I restarted and tried again. This time, it worked and installed in 20 minutes or so.
    I performed full software updates and am in the process of re-downloading Lion.
    Current issues
    The issue I'm experiencing now involves the length of time it is taking to boot the Mac. It takes between 10 and 20 minutes to get to the desktop, but once it does, performance is completely normal.
    The second issue is that the computer is still spitting out DVDs. I am unable to get either the install disk or the applications disk with iLife on it to stay in the drive. I haven't tested this with other CDs/DVDs but it's certainly not working with these two. When I insert a disk, it spins for a while before giving up and spitting the disk back out.
    Questions
    1) Do these issues strike people as being hardware or software faults?
    2) Are there any diagnostics/troubleshooting steps I can take before sending the Mac off for repair again or is it simply a matter of replacing faulty components?
    System information
    Model: Mid-2010 27" iMac
    Processor: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4GB

    Sounds like you've had your fair share of aggro with this.
    Reading through your list of woes you might try one thing to improve the start-up time, although 10-20mins is an exceptionally long time. Some users on here have reported startup times in the 5mins region and doing the following has often helped: System Preferences>Startup Disk and click on 'Macintosh HD, Mac OS X 10.6.8' and then click on restart.
