Performance issues on Macbook Pro 15"

Hey guys, I just purchased your CS5 Master Suite and am unfortunately am having incredibly frustrating peformance issues on my machine.
The laptop is brandnew and spec is as follows:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:
Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:
2.2 GHz
Number of Processors:
1
Total Number of Cores:
4
L2 Cache (per Core):
256 KB
L3 Cache:
6 MB
Memory:
8 GB
Boot ROM Version:
MBP81.0047.B1E
SMC Version (system):
1.69f1
Serial Number (system):
C02FX1HDDF8X
Hardware UUID:
442F5804-C11B-5C80-9839-1A7A98FD5E86
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State:
Enabled
Please can you help me? I am fairly new to using a Mac as well as Photoshop and dont know what to do to improve the peformance, aside from the obvious - of increasing the allocated memory within the General Peformance settings?
An example would be where i am currently working on a 38.7Mb file with 5 layers. I dont know if that is big or not, but the issue I have is when I select either the Clone Stamp or Spot Healing Tools, they take at least a minute or so to select. Its a pain in my arse!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WITH CHERRIES ON TOP can someone help me?
Many thanks,
Cheryl

Whoa! The first thing I'd do is cut back the available memory available to Photoshop. It looks to me like you're starving the OS of RAM, especially with other applications also running. Try something like 70% or less and go from there.
Of course, with only one HDD, Photoshop's scratch disk has to compete with the swap files of the OS for the use of the only read/write head. That'll always slow you down, regardless of the amount of free space you may actually have. Consider the fastest external FW drive you can afford as a dedicated scratch disk for Photoshop.
I seriously doubt you really have over 63 TB of free disk space as you indicate (…"Only HDD in the machine with 63433GB free space"…). Perhaps you meant 63.433 GB? That's not a lot of free space for Photoshop's scratch disk and the swap files of the OS to share.

Wifi performance issues on macbook pro

Hello, I have an older MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5 that is having serious wifi issues (really slow browsing and accessing sites) and even regularly appears to drop the wifi connection. It also has trouble printing to our HP wireless printer. I am confident the issue is with the Macbook as we have 2 other windows laptops that work fine (and can print reliably), as well as iPads and iphones that all seem to be working OK.
We are using a Timecapsule wifi router that is located close-by, and all the other devices seem to be reliably connecting.
If anyone has any suggestion or diagnostics I can run on the Macbook to help diagnose the problem it would be really appreciated.
Thankyou

Hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What values are shown for the following?
          PHY Mode
          Channel
          Security
          Signal/Noise or RSSI
          Transmit Rate
Please do not post the BSSID, as that information is private.
Now hold down the option key again and select

Should I upgrade to 10.6.2?
Thanx

Hi,
I'm using the same machine ...
I never get any performance issues
I bought my mac in March 2009 and I was ben ready to work in less that 3 days without issue...
so more details about your setup are required to answare!
4GB ram???
I suggest to check your ram!!!
Ram must be compatible with Xeon Nehalem Try specification!

Menu Bar issues on Macbook Pro

I came across this problem with my mac where after logging in I noticed that the menu bar, specifically the battery and wifi icon takes atleast 5-10 mins to appear and when I hover the cursor anywhere on the right side of the menu bar it shows the spinning rainbow. Also the volume button seems to be greyed out as well and usually I have to plug in ear phones and it will go away but only temporarily. This never happened to my mac until today and for some reason I think it has to do with the installation of Adobe CS6 Master Collection. (yes, it was torrented. no, I wont do it again.) I did some slight research and on some website it said that there could be some applications recently installed that could have caused this to happen. If anyone has a solution I would very much appreciate it.

Having the same issue. Macbook Pro 2011, latest Mavericks update ....
Apple menu disappears and reappears when Google Chrome is open/closed. Behaving the same with random programs. Do you have any ideas?? Software is up to date, THANKS!!!

[SOLVED] Linux kernel 3.6.2-1 issues on Macbook Pro 4,1

After my recent system upgrade to linux-3.6.2-1, I ran into a couple noticeable issues on my laptop. The first was the inability to use "mount -i /home/user", which is in my .bash_profile, to mount my encrypted home directory at login. An error message would respond saying that eCryptfs does not support aes. I was able to manually mount it with "mount -t ecryptfs /home/user/.private /home/user", but could not figure out the issue. I also noticed my laptop running a hotter that usual and found that my fans were not changing according to the sensors. I use macfanctld from the AUR to change my fan speed and killing its process and restarting it had no effect. I then decided my recent system upgrade may be at fault so I rebooted into linux-lts and the issues were solved. I then downgraded linux-3.6.2-1, linux-headers-3.6.2-1, nvidia-304.51-4, virtualbox-guest-modules- 4.2.0-6, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-6 to linux-3.5.6-1, linux-headers-3.5.6-1, nvidia-304.51-3, virtualbox-guest-modules-4.2.0-5, and virtualbox-host-modules-4.2.0-5. These issues are now fixed on my system with the downgrade and I have blocked them from upgrade in pacman.conf. I did not notice any other issues.

I felt it was necessary to post this issue, especially if another person also has it, so that it may be resolved in future kernel updates. If there are any logs or other information people need to help resolve this issue or if I should notify a mod of this or something, please let me know.

After further investigation the issues were easily solved.
Regarding my encrypted home directory, I checked kernel.log and found that ecryptfs did not like the argument ecrypt_key_bytes=16 and that manual mount has the variable name ecryptfs_key_bytes=16. So I simply changed that in my fstab. Auto-mounting my home directory works nicely again.
In regards to the fan issue, I had to alter /etc/macfanctl.conf because the output of the sensors command (lm-sensors) contained some negative values which may have affected average temperatures and such. I excluded those temperatures and played with the constraints more until the fans spun faster when I felt they should.
Still found it strange that some of these issues happened during kernel upgrades, but glad to have solved the issues.

I have heat issues into MacBook pro after installing windows 8. when boot from windows ha've overheating. how can I fix it??

Are you saying you're running Windows in BootCamp or Windows as a Virtual Machine? You can increase the fan speed on the Mac using smcFanControl and use the software OGELTHORPE recommended to observe improvements.
smcFanControl is a Mac application and doesn't work in Windows, but if you set a higher minimum fan speed (which is how smcFanControl works) while running OS X, when you reboot into a BootCamp partition, that minimum speed tends to be carried over.

After several repairs, still having heating issue with MacBook Pro (mid '09)

EDIT: this post got removed the first time for not being constructive enough. I've now edited the post.
This is going to be a lengthy post, so bear with me.
2 months ago, I suddenly noticed my MacBook Pro (medio 2009, 15", 4GB RAM, GeForce 9400M) heating up a lot harder than usual. I'm familiar with the heating issues these laptops have, but this wasn't normal. Looking at iStat Pro, I saw my fans almost taking off like an airplane at 5700 rpm, while watching only a livestream on my browser. I know Shockwave Flash takes up quite a chunk of your CPU, but I had never encountered this problem beforehand.
The biggest problem wasn't just the heat or the fans, but the fact that my computer also started reacting rather slowly. Sometimes I'd even get beachballed, or the whole browser stopped responding for half a minute...
So I tried to see if gaming was still an option. Of course not. I had been playing League of Legends for several months without any issues. Whilst playing, I'd kick up my fans manually to about 4000 rpm, and they'd stay there throughout the whole game. Now, when I start up the game, it plays smoothly for the first 2 minutes. After the temperatures rise to a critical level, the fans start spinning up to 5700 rpm, and the whole game plays like a powerpoint presentation.
On a sidenote: it sort of 'lags' every 1-2 seconds, and sometimes, after a long period, the game acts somewhat normal again (20 mins). This game uses wine to run, which isn't the most optimal way. So I tried playing Team Fortress 2, too. Probably even worse results! (but again noticeable 1-2 second interval lags)
Before anyone starts screaming: "Don't use your Mac for gaming!" etc., I wish to point out that these two games had been running perfectly for the past few months/years. Something's definitely wrong.
After looking for some solutions myself, I decided to go to an authorized Apple Service in my city. A few days later, they told me my logic board was broken, and I had to pay almost 700 euros ($ 900-1000) to replace it. So I did. I got it back, but it wasn't fixed. Brought it back in. Got it back a week later: "Your new logic board we got from Apple was already broken, but we hadn't noticed. We put a new one in it. It's fixed." Again, same problem.
We're almost 2 months later and 700 euros poorer, still no result. I've brought it in about 6-7 times now, here's a list of what they've tried so far:
- In total 3 new logic boards
- New MagSafe (because they discovered it was giving too much power too my laptop)
- Fresh re-install
- Replaced RAM
- Checked fans etc. (they do this by default)
- A few tests which proved that it was repaired (but I have my doubts with these tests...)
They told me now that it's fixed, and they basically won't look into it anymore. I must contact Apple myself, if I wasn't satisfied. The tests they performed showed no signs of heating issues. (One of the tests was playing 4 1080p movies at the same time. When I watch a 1080p movie on Youtube, my laptop is taking off like a plane) They ran a stress test all night long, showing no temperatures above 98°C. I got it up to 105°C in a few minutes according to iStat Pro.
They advised me to install Mountain Lion, which would make the issues with "high-performance sites" go away. I haven't seen much improvement, though.
This whole experience has been quite frustrating, especially now that I'm gonna need my laptop for University again. Isn't there anything I can do? I've paid almost 700 euros and missed my laptop for 2 months, without any results.
I've got more information regarding the issues if needed, ask away. I'm getting desperate.
I've been browsing around the support communites, and found that a lot of people are having issues since they upgraded to OS X Lion. Could this be the case? Should I try downgrading to Snow Leopard?
I've also found a few topics on refreshing the cooling pasta on the heatsink. Would they have noticed any problems with this after replacing the Logic Board several times? Or should I check it myself? I'm not too keen on opening up my laptop myself...
Nick.

Thought of buying Parallels? Fusion?
Might want to see if this gets moved to the MacBook Pro forum.
I'd think Windows 8.1 is smart enough (what I use 90% time since the Dev Preview came out couple yrs ago it seems like) to find the driver.

Issues with Macbook Pro display.

Hi. Recently, I haven't been having too much luck with Apple products. It started with my Macbook pro Core 2 duo 2.16. It had screen issues, leading to the screen being replaced (replacement screen contained several dead pixels), alongside a logic board, video card, and sound board replacement over the short life of the computer. Apple recently replaced it with a new 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro.
When I first turned it on, only 3 bottom pads made contact with my desk at all, causing the computer to become lob-sided. I brought it to the Apple store and they brought it to their back room to fix it (I am not sure about what they did to it though). The fix was mostly successful and brought the computer "within spec"... Shortly after the fix, I got home and my monitor started acting up by displaying black vertical bars along my screen. The left side of my screen was also disconnected from the aluminum frame; both issues can be seen at http://gallery.mac.com/eliete#100037 . The odd thing is that the issue only comes up every other time I use the computer, and closing-opening the clamshell usually cures the problem temporarily. I discovered that whenever I take a picture in Photo-booth, the screen flash aggravates the problem, making the issue very obvious, and obtrusive.
I do a lot of photography work with Aperture 2 and Photoshop Elements 6, and performance wise, the computer is fantastic, but what good is a fast computer with an awful screen? I do not want to switch back to the PC platform because the Mac OS is just that much better, and I rely on this computer for many everyday tasks. What do you think I should do? - I would rather not have the screen replaced due to the possibility of dead pixels (VERY irritating when editing photos), but it looks like that may be the only option. Do you think that I should wait until the WWDC to see what update the MBP will see, incase they replace my computer a second time? Thank You in advance.

First thing I'd to is take it to the Apple Store, you can talk with them about this. I'm sorry you have been having so much trouble, while Macs are good in general there are some lemons. I bought my current MacBook Pro in August. Within a few weeks of buying it, there were a handful of dead pixels on the display as well as a couple of pale spots (bruises that the Apple store said was my fault). I got the display (the entire top 1/2...display, iSight, etc.) replaced over Labor Day weekend and haven't had a dead pixel or blemish since then. If you wait until WWDC, there are two things to consider: 1) you will have the problem for a few more weeks, and 2) replacements may be refurbished laptops and not necessarily a new laptop. Why bother? If I were you, I'd take it in ASAP and see what options I'm given. If the screen is repaired and dead pixels arise, the screen can be replaced again. What's worse, the possibility of dead pixels, or putting up with the bad display for another month (or two...Apple has a history of introducing things at MacWorld and WWDC that aren't available until the following month)? Hope I helped.

Frustratingly slow performance Mavericks on Macbook Pro

Hi
I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro with Mavericks installed. Lately I have been getting frustrating spinning beachball hangs, apps crashing (particularly mail and aperture), boot times of 5 minutes plus, and shutdown times as long as 7 minutes. I've read through as many forum posts as I can manage and not one seems to solve the problem. Looking through the system.log today I have noticed a few error messages that may or may not be contributing, but cannot work out what they mean or what to do about them. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking about upgrading the internal 250GB HDD to either a 1TB hybrid SSHD or a 250GB SSD, and obviously doing a clean install. My only worry at the moment is losing lots of really importan data and being able to recover it from Time Machine.
An extract from the system.log is below. My concerns are about the CGContextErase function, the One of the two will be used error, and the FT Message Delivery Failed errors. All of these are happenning around the time the machine is unresponsive.
Thanks in advance
Chris.

☞ 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.
Step 1
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

Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

Heating Issues for MacBook Pro (early 2011)

Hi
Am facing heating issues and am looking for what should be the ideal fan speeds for CPU Temp range
My Mac Details
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Processor : 2.8 GHz Intel Core
Memory : 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Storage : 750 GB SATA Disk
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
My standard use is Mac with one VM (Win7) running.
What I have observed is the Fan speed is generall ~ 2000 rpm for CPU temp range of 55 - 70 Deg C.
Should the fan be spinnig faster as the base of the machine does become too hot for comfort to be working on Lap.
Are there any apps that can help me run some tests to montor performance?
Please help.
Thanks
Brijesh

A MBP should not be used on your lap since your body will act as an insulator that will inhibit heat dissapation.
Heat generated will be a function of the stress placed on the CPU/GPU by the number and type of applications you have open. Skype, video, games, and the like can result in temperatures that approach and exceed 100 c. There are internal sensors that will shut down the MBP if it starts to over heat.
The temperatures that you have reported are not unusual and are well within acceptable parameters for the MBP. The fans will start to speed up, when the heat increases, as required. Some users install fan control software, but I am of the opinion that what the Apple engineers have installed is satisfactory and need not be altered.
You may encounter a runaway application as described in the following link. Usually a restart will solve the issue.

Pdf printing issue in macbook pro

hi everyone,
since i got a macbook pro, i found this problem. it doesn't respond to command-P (printing) at all. i removed and downloaded the newest version of adobe reader, i reset printing system, updated the printer driver,.. i can't print. i use iMac to print pdf. what could i do to fix this? would it be hardware problem or software problem?
thanks for reading it.

I too have an issue w/ my Macbook Pro keyboard (2nd time since I've owned it) although this one isn't quite as severe as the one reported.
I started noticing over the past couple of weeks that when I type, I start hearing this odd "click" sound every once in a while. As I started to pay more attention to it, it appears that every time I hit the letter 'E', it sounds like the plastic beneath the key is loose or breaking (?). They key itself feels loose and I'm worried that its going to pop off. (this has happened on my Dell Inspiron a few times and its been an annoying issue ever since as it regularly pops off now).
Is this something covered under Applecare? (my previous keyboard issue was a couple of dead keys including the spacebar that required a new keyboard).
Also (side question), when I go to the concierge page to setup a time to visit an Apple Genius, there's GUEST and MEMBER login. Is Member login for those who have Applecare? If so, then what would the member number be? The Applecare agreement # doesn't seem to take.
Thanks,

Issue with MacBook Pro charger?

Hello,
I bought my MacBook Pro 15" in October 2009. I hardly ever take it out of my place. Senior Apple adviser told me, that the battery in my computer is factory calibrated, so bassically I treat my laptop as iMac. It's connected to the charger all the time. When I'm done using it, I either put it to sleep or shut it down. Two days ago I noticed: (Not Charging) by the icon of the battery. Apparently the charger stopped charging. It's MagSafe charger with T style connector. From what I've been reading in disscussion forum regarding charger issues, it looks like perhaps this charger needs to be replaced.
But the interesting part is, that the green led on the connector holds steady since (Not Charging) appeared two days ago, and also, the battery power dropped only to 94% and holds steady as well.
So this makes me wonder, is there something wrong with the charger, or is it something else?
My computer knowhow is limited, so any information or tip will be appreciated.
Thanks

Issue with MacBook Pro (mid 2009) wifi multiple AP signal 'confusion'

I'll try to explain this as best I can, not being an expert in networking!
I recently upgraded my router from a Linksys WRT160N to an Airport Extreme, in the hope that it would do a better job of broadcasting a stronger wifi signal throughout my house. Whilst it is improved, it's still no good enough for streaming to my iPad 2 where I want in the house. Reading around on the web I discovered that I should be able to use the Linksys as an AP to extend the effective range of my wifi network, as long as it is hardwired into the base station via Ethernet (no WDS support on the Linksys model).
So, I managed to get this all up and running, disabling the dchp on the Linksys, fixed ip allocation etc and using the same SSID and passwords etc. All is well with the iPhone and iPad2 access - they just automatically switch to the strongest signal no problem when I move around the house. Cool.
The issue lies with the MBP - I have a favoured spot in the house where both the broadcast signal from the AEBS and Linksys are very strong, and the MBP gets all confused. opening up the lid from standby it searches for the wifi (bar moving up and down the signal indicator) and then just has an exclamation mark. I try to manually select the SSID but no dice. I have to switch the MBP adaptor off and on, rescan avail networks, and lo and behold two versions of my SSID are shown. Select one and then it connects. However, I have to go through this whole exercise every time I pull the MBP out of standby, which is very irritating.
I do have a workaround - if I name the SSID on the Linksys something different, the problem goes away. However, i effecktively now have 2 wireless networks & I then have to manually switch between the two SSID's to get the strongest signal depending where I am in the house. It's suffices for now but not ideal.
What I don't get is why is it only the MBP affected & the iPhone & iPad 2 are fine? Is this anything to do with the 2.4 ghz & 5 ghz being broadcast by the AEBS getting all mixed up with just the 2.4 ghz being broadcast from the Linksys??? Both 2.4 & 5 ghz are broadcasting the same SSID.
Any help appreciated.

OK - fixed this now. By setting the 5 Ghz channel on the AEBS to a different SSID and putting this to the top of my priority WIFI connections on the MacBook Pro then it ignores the conflict between the 2.4 Ghz networks being broadcast by the Linksys & AEBS. No more hanging connection when I resume the MBP

Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
TIA.

NVIDIA issue on MacBook Pro retina 15 (bootcamp)

hello guys! merry christmas everybody
i have such problem: i bought MacBook Pro retina 15, when i came home i installed windows 7 thru bootcamp, after that i decided to check how many points of perfomance do i have, (in windows you can see that in computer - system properties) and i was 7.2
my games worked amazing on highest level of perfomance, i didn't see such performance anywhere.
10 days later i decided to play, and when the game started it was so bad, everythings hanged very much!! i decided to see what happend to my system and i saw this
and i can't do anything! i returned my mac to the store where i have bought it and they gave me a new one, but after 10 days the same thing happend to a new one. i don't think that it brokes maybe it's some problem which can be solved? maybe i can change something in stting or via terminal? as i think something wrong with nvidia card, seems like mac doesn't change video cards from intel to nvidia when a hard programm is started
help me please!!

The Retina models are full of flaws. You have found one of them. For some reason the discrete graphic card is being shut off in Windows and you are now using the built in Intel HD Graphics 4000. Why I have no idea.
