Regular pauses on MacBook Pro 13-inch after upgrading to Lion

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to Lion my MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo) regularly pauses every hour or so; each pause lasts about 5 seconds, and during this time I see the spinning ball and my external HD (which I use for Time Machine) spins up. I also notice that opening certain applications take a longer time (spinning up my external drive); perhaps loading my previously loaded files? I never had this problem in Snow Leopard, but I regularly have this problem now. Any ideas on how to stop the pauses from happening?
Thanks!

Finally resolved...
It's because of the fact that my mbp is too old to be upgraded to lion ...
Although I've seen successful experiences of upgrading mbp 895 (manufactured by the end of 2007) to lion, it's a disaster due to random death halt according to my experiences..
It seems 10.7.4 could be OK since I have met no problems for more than one week, however, when upgrading to 10.7.5, the death halt happened every half an hour, while even if I downgraded to 10.7.4, it doen't help, while when I continuously downgraded to snow leopard 10.6.8, it works normally.

MacBook Pro Graphic Distort After Upgrading to Lion 10.7.5

Hi,
Recently, I upgraded my mbp which was produced by the end of 2007 (macbook pro 895) with geforce 8600m graphic card, from 10.5.8 to 10.7.5.
I noticed that logic board failure might occur on my mac, however, at least i was fortunate during past 5 years while not that lucky just after ugrading..
My phenomenon is: the screen suddenly distorted and the overall system hung without any response until I power off and restart. I am not sure whether it's just the logic board failure, but I feel that it might have something to do with software as shown in:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20091204-263/graphics-issues-plaguing-os-x- 10.7-lion-upgrades/
Another issue is: it seems the free maintainance announced through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 seems to be obsolete, isn't it ?

I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

I have read that new purchases of macbook pro will get free upgrade to LION OS. When and how do I go about this?

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/06/06lion.html
The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request.
Currently that's the only information available. I suspect more will be posted as we get closer to launch.

I added memory to my MacBook Pro (now 4gb) and upgraded to Lion. Now my iphone 4 won't sync-gets stuck at stage 7 of 8 on importing photos. My iphoto is'09 version 8.1.2

I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program. The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync. iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos. My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2 Is this not compatible with Lion?

I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

I just bought a 2009 macbook pro with an os upgrade to lion. my question is how do i take the previous owners name (like when i bluetooth) to my name???

Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS. The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you. You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it. Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.
Ciao.

My Macbook Pro keeps restarting after upgrading it to Yosemite!

Hi, I have Macbook Pro 13-inch early 11, and the only thing that I have upgraded is the ram to 16Gb.
When I start upgrading the ox to Yosemite I headed to few problems (like it was stoked on 1 more minute for over 30 min so i had to restart my mac and start the installation again and again the same problem but this time i wated for 45 mins and finally it was installed. When for the first time it came to that screen so i can choose my user name and type my password nothing worked so i had to restart the mac AGAIN! Finally it worked but way slower than the last ox.)
After a day and two my mac started to restart it self for over 10 times in like 4 hours! It didnt mater if i was working on something using different apps or just listing to music, or just by closing the mac all of sudden i would hear the restart sound for no reason! So now it got better and it not like over 10 times in few hours but it still does several times a day specially when i close my mac. After the restart the only thing that tells me that your mac was restarted due to a problem and do you wanna report it and etc.
I would really appreciate if someone helps me with this stupid problem cause it really is annoying me and im keep loosing my work in middle of working on them.
Thanks!
Btw, im running bootcamp also but i dont use it that much but i beleive i had that problem when im ruuning the boot camp also!

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted though

If yours is a 15" MacBook Pro 6,2, there is a recall program in place for it. It is described in this article:
TS4088- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
PRINT out a copy of the article as a hedge against "we never heard of this." and take it to your appointment at the genius bar. Do not leave until they have run the special VST test that ends in a remarkable PASSED or FAILED screen. [The typical "overnight bake" will not find this problem].
N.B.> Even if the problem is detected, the time for free replacement may have already passed.
If they refuse to accept it for free repair under the program, the store manager may have additional latitude to help you. You MUST be polite and professional at all times. Apple wants you to be a happy customer. Folks who shout and threaten to sue everyone will never be a happy customer, so all they get is to be shown the door.
If the time has expired and you are not willing to pay for the repair yourself, downgrading Mac OS X will make the problem far less likely to occur.

My Macbook Pro wont boot after upgrading to SSD, A ? Mark on Folder appears

Hello all,
I just put in a new SSD into my mid 2012, 13" macbook pro. This is the exact SSD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=77394 89&tab=7&SRCCODE=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_mmc=Email-_-WebletMain-_-WEBLET03ORDER-_-Deals &utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_lm=noahbragg@cedar ville.edu
I swapped out my optical drive and put in the SSD using this tutorial, http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Dual +Hard+Drive/13787 Everything seemed to go fine and i had no problems. But when I tried to start up the computer it stayed on a gray screen and a foler with a question mark on it, showed up blanking. I have looked all over for the internet for the answer, I have tried to reset the PRAM but it did nothing. I then tried to select what drive i wanted to boot from by holding the option key when i booted, but when the options came up, SSD or old harddrive did not come up as a way to boot up. There were some internet options to recover but they did not work.
The SSD has nothing on it at this point, but my plan was to boot up using the original HD and then clone it over to the SSD, but ovbiously i cant even find the HD to boot to. I have seen that people are having troubles with booting to their SSD because of the new mavericks update, but i am just trying to boot to my original HD at this point.
I also considered that maybe i possibly damaged the HD cables through static electricty, but when i searched more about it i learned that i should have heard snap or felt a jolt. None of these things happened when i installed the SSD. So i beleive that the hard drive or SSD are not broken in any way.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how i can fix this? Need my computer very badly! thanks in advance.

I also forgot to mention that after the first time i tried to boot, it went to the normal screen where it wanted me to put in my apple id password. but the loading wheel was just spinning the whole time. so i turned off the computer and tried again. thats when the question mark folder came up and kept coming up everytime after that.

No Sound, Safari Slow & MacBook Pro Very Slow after upgrading to Yosemite.

Hi All,
Upgrading to Yosemite has resulted in the following issues with my computer/laptop:
1. I have lost all sound and the sound options are no longer there after looking in Preferences.
2. Safari only loads parts of pages and then takes forever to load the rest.
3. Generally the computer has been slow with processes taking over the CPU and there seems to be a lot of hard memory swaps.
Attached is the EtreCheck.    Any help would be appreciated.   It appears that I also am missing some daemons that are launching.

Issues with MacBook Pro 13-Inch i7 2011 with Lion help is mostly welcome

Hello I had some Issues with my MacBook Pro 13-Inch i7 - 2011.. Whenever i enter/exit safari i get the rainbow circle and my MacBook keeps freezing every now and then it's really annoying i get the rainbow circle when i try to shut down the computer aswell and sometimes the computer gets stuck with a white screen whenever i try to shut down the system.. I have 8gb ram and SSD i'd want some help on how to fix these issues please
Edit: The computer freezes when i play games aswell for around 8 seconds when it's newly started so i doubt it's anything to do with the heath it's something wrong with Lion since i never had it when i had Snow Leopard on this computer please help me with what i can do without reinstalling my iOS since i can't do that now i'm at vacation with a slow network which is around 0.85Mbit/s... I'm new to Mac so i have no clue how to repair the iOS same as Windows computers when you just insert the CD and press repair

Well, if you are on the road you could try to do this:
1. boot with the Alt key pressed
2. select the recovery drive
3. reinstall Lion
Hope you left a backup at home!
Good luck...

How Do I Repair My MacBook Pro 15 Inch after critical error partitioning the hardrive?

Hey guys I have just recently turned into a MAC OS X 10.6 user and i needed to have windows on my New MacBook Pro 15", I used the BootCamp Installer within the utilities section of applications and it partitioned my hardrive it then told me the partition needed to be formatted in NTSF format and shutdown, now when i power it up i get the black screen of death and the white stroke in the top left of the screen where the macbook is looking for windows files which are not there as it did not install them thanks to the format being incorrect, is there a way to go back to the original mac section of my hardrive using keyboard shortcuts? Also if i did not recieve a install disc with my macbook should i just take it back to the shop and have a genius look at it?

First of all. don't listen to 'The hatter' - he is being no help here.
There is no critical error.
Also, you don't really need a backup.
To boot into Mac OS X hold down 'alt' whilst pressing the power button and keep pressing alt until a menu pops up, choose Macintosh HD and then it will boot Mac OS X.
Make sure your Windows install disk is in the drive when rebooting.

Why is my MacBook Pro very slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.5. - Solutions?

Hello, hello
After waiting quite a while - I paid the relatively small amount, and got myselves a new OS.
But I am very disappointed of the speed - I see that this also was a problem with OS Lion?
Please assist me. Perhaps others have this problem as well?
Some info:
- 2,66 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
- 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Also
- Sometimes I run the Parallels Desktop 6 and 9 software, does this affect specs of the new OS?
Hope to hear from you guys.
Sincerely,
Harald

With only 4GB of RAM, how much do you have devoted to the virtual machine running under Parallels? Even if it's a small amount, it's going to make page outs and swaps used very high. From my perspective, 8GB of RAM is the 'sweet spot' for running Mountain Lion.
I'm assuming that you've a 15" mid-2010 MacBook Pro? If so, you can speed things up by installing the maximum 8GB of RAM. Go RAM shopping at Crucial or OWC.
Other than upgrading your RAM, the only thing that you can do to speed up your machine is to install a SSD. You can also check the SSDs at Crucial and OWC and decide if one is right for you.

Black screen on MacBook Pro Retina Display after installing Moutain Lion. Need Help!

My macbook pro (retina) screen went black after I installed Mountain Lion.
I got a HDMI cable to another monitor and the image worked nicely there.
But i cant get it back on my MacBook Pro! I tried taking out the HDMI cable, restarting, searching on settings configs..
What should I do?
Are there any drivers i should install to get image back on my MacBook Pro Retina Display?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

That helped me finding other people with similar problems.
But there is a major difference!
-They have a black screen after they login.
-My screen is black NOW! And I'm only using my BRAND NEW rmbp with the HDMI cable to my TV!
This isnt good at all and I would like to solve it asap..
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, taking out the hdmi cable and rebooting many times.
Until now, nothing!
Is my screen broken or maybe my video card has some problems?
I hope not! I just traveled from the US to Brazil and I dont want to search for an Apple Store here.
Any tips or ideas are welcome, thank you.
