Slow Lion/MBP

The same with me. I've tried all the recommendations, verify disk, repair permissions, and I even backed it up and installed it from the original factory settings, installed Onyx, etc. My version of Lion is not an upgrade and I'm using a brand new Macbook Pro that is only one month old. I don't have a lot of photos, videos, and third party software. This computer was slow out of the box, especially when using the internet. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use Safari or Firefox. My daughter has an older Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard and she has no issues. I'm so frustrated and sorry I sold my old Macbook Pro.

Mountain Lion MBP to Projector difficulties.

Mountain Lion MBP to Projector difficulties. I have the right VGA cable and the VGA to miniport adapter, but no luck. The "arrangements" tab in the Display section of the system preferences doesn't even appear. I've tried low resolution, safe boots, etc.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance.

I have got the same problem ever since I updated to Mountain Lion. I record my TV shows to my computer. Once they are recorded, they're converted and sent to iTunes overnight. Once the task was done, it'd go to sleep. Well, that used to be the case until I updated to Mountain Lion. Now, the shows are recorded, but when I wake up in the morning, the computer is asleep, and the conversion is half-way done. This DID NOT used to happen. So, one does not necessarily need to be there typing or moving the mouse to keep the computer awake. If it is performing a task, why should it enter into sleep mode? Disklike.
Glad to know I am not the only one dealing with this issue. It seems also like with every update of OS X my computers become slower. Restart has become slower. My PC(!!) at school is faster than my MBP. What gives!!
Sadness.

OS X Lion Screen Sharing Slow on MBP 13" (Early 2011)

Hello All,
I've been cruising forums and various posts, but have not seen anything directly relating to the issue I'm having. I just upgraded all my Macs to Lion and when I screen share(SS) from my lion macs at work to my lion macs at home there has been a notable drop in performance.
Here's where it get's stupid though. I can screen share to my Mini with very little to no lag at all from my MacBook Air at work. The Mini is directly hooked to my time capsule (2008,1TB). However, when I SS into my MBP 13" early 2011(wireless connection) the MBP becomes almost completely unresponsive or delayed to any change by 5+min.
I tried ss'ing into my mini and then from my mini to my MBP 13" and that was at least responsive, but obviously laggy. So what the frick man. Why can't I SS into my MBP from work? This was never an issue when all these macs were running 10.6.8.
I guess I should also mention that the Mini hasn't been able to update ARD 3.5 yet, because of a separate issue that I haven't gotten around to. Is it perhaps the ARD update that is screwing up my MBP13"?
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. I think it has to do with the 'server' computer. When I remotely control my other snow leopard computers, it is snappy. When I connect to my iMac running Lion, it is slow. The whole page blinks like it is rendering all text/images/backgrounds all the time. So it seems to be loading the entire frame. On the contrary, when remoted into a Snow Leopard machine, only the word or area that you are typing is blurry, then crisp as it renders. It doesn't try to reload the whole screen since you are only modifying a small portion of it.

OS X Mountain Lion slowing down MBPs?

I have read many comments that the new OS will slow down ones computer. Specifically MacBook Pros. My MacBook Pro has a 2.4 GHz processor and a 4GB memory. Were I to update the OS would it bring my computer "to a crawl" ?

Correct, clean install is downloading Mountain Lion then wiping all file off the computer and starting fresh. Of course before doing any software update on any computer all your irreplaceable files should be backed up first. Time Machine works but I prefer to add to it using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create a bootable USB drive just in case. The bootable drive could be used as a quick way to get your system back and recover your files to rebuild your system. You should research on how to properly back up and recover your files before you start. The beauty of iCloud is if you use it to sync Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes and Safari bookmark they will be automatically restore once iCloud is signed in and activated on the new system.
Google "How to do a clean install of Mountain Lion" for many web sites with tutorials. Googgle can also tell you how to back up and recover various items such as Mail.

WD scorpio black 500 7200rpm running very slow on MBP 8.1

hi guys,

How to share UDF volume attached to LION MBP over GbE to SL MacPro?

Okay, so before anyone references it, I've already done this from the KB:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
I have a MacBook Pro with an expresscard slot connected to my MacPro tower via Ethernet. I want to be able to mount and copy a UDF-formatted Expresscard (contents digital video) mounted in the expresscard slot of the MBP, to the attached Mini-SAS RAID hosted by my MacPro tower.
My MBP is running Lion 10.7.4, my MacPro is running SL 10.6.8. (Please don't tell me to upgrade the tower. That's impossible during a paid job and these are working machines, I can't risk downtime.)
When I connect via AFP to the MBP from the tower, I can only see HFS attached volumes, even after enabling ALL "legacy UAMs" per the KB article linked above, I want to be able to use the MUCH FASTER method of tethering via ethernet (GbE) to copy and ingest the video contents of the UDF-formatted Express card in the MBP expresscard slot. This USED to be possible when both machines were running SL. No longer. I'm stuck with an ultra-slow USB card reader for the expresscard ingest directly to the tower's RAID.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Instead of mounting and copying from the MacBook Pro, would it be possible to use the MacBook Pro and mount the Mac Pro's RAID to copy from the UDF-formatted Expresscard to the RAID? Or is there something in particular that is requiring the Mac Pro to do the copying (like software it is running)?

Slow Boot MBP 2012 SSD on 10.8.3 - Tried several fixes

Hi,
I have a MBP 2012, I upgrade it with Samsung SSD 830 256GB and 16GB RAM.
Boot: 50 seconds
Shut down: 20-30 seconds (uncheck documents on iCloud preferences and seems to shut down on 3 to 5 seconds)
Since the begining I figure how to make it work properly.
I made a backup with SuperDuper! and later, after some time when I want to repair permissions I realize I have lost my Recovery HD, after some Google magic I reinstall ML and solve the problem.
Start up time was too slow, then I do some search and anfer SMC + PRAM (NVRAM) reset everything seems to work fine, for some time.
Every time slow boots and shut downs come back, I do more searchs and find some fixes, but those fixes dont work the sameway for everybody, even on same machines and dont last forever.
Uninstall Little Snitch, Clean Caches, Fonts, Uninstall Parallels, Do some vudu with Cocktail and Onyx, Reinstall Mountain Lion, Update my System to the last 10.8.3 with the Combo Update, Selected my boot drive on system preferences (I just have one disc on my mac, no Fusion Drive so I dont understand why I have ti try this but did it).
I repeat some of the fixes, but always the same result, Boot time always on 50 seconds.
After some research on forums I look at mi Console and found those under BOOT_TIME

There is a 30 some seconds delay after this failed, on every boot I do.
Any clues to help me? I reported slow boots and shut downs on ML, hoping to see it solved some time on the near future, maybe on 10.8.4
This is the only thing "wrong" with my MBP, after boot is fast and love to work with it.
Thanks.
Sorry if I don't search enough, but try everything I found and can't solve it.

Waiting for an answer I decided to start from RecoveryHD, delete my Macintosh HD and Reinstall Mountain Lion.
I have my data safe, I just have to copy my Documents and stuff and reinstall a bunch of apps if everything goes fine.
I would like to solve this other than have to do a Clean Reinstall.
Last night try to do a clean reinstall, but nothing change, still at 50 seconds boot.
Start to thinking if its something related to my disk. Seems to be the in the last firmware available for the SSD 830. TRIM is not enabled at this moment on my mac, and write & read speeds are fine.
After last boot found this:
26/04/13 13:28:09,338 root[109]: /usr/libexec/ntpd-wrapper: scutil key State:/Network/Global/DNS not present after 30 seconds
Google a little an then found this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4070843?start=0&tstart=0 and decided to try a Hardware Test. The first Test ant fine in less than 5 minutes, now trying a complete test: After 75 minutes everything is fine. Hardware test OK.
I will continue updating this if I can fix it.

So disappointed with the slow Lion performance & don't know what to do

I am an apple fan and I'm expressing my sincere disappointment! I guess those people who gave Lion 4-5 stars either installed it on their brilliant macbook pros or on those huge imacs or haven't used it before voting! I have a 2GB ram macbook and after installing lion it's gone terrible. Even text edit which is relatively a very light programme is not functioning many times!
I care about Apple and I think if they don't do something asap it's gonna turn to their version of Vista and change the OS game's balance.
I'm thinking of going back to Snow Leopard, that was way much faster. One funny thing is on AppStore it doesn't let me review the product saying you should have bought it from AppStore. Well of course I bought it from AppStore and you have it in your records, why don't you let me save others from this disaster. It takes a lot of my time now to go back to Snow Leopard. Honestly, with all due respect, and not in an angry mood Lion is bad! And makes your computer run much slower. DISAPPOINTED

Apple says 2gb of ram is the minimum needed for lion. If you have an older machine and just the minimum ram lion will be slower than SL. I worked with a friend who had a MacBook model with minimum ram. When he upgraded the ram to 4gb his machine was about 40% faster.
Memory is relatively inexpensive these days so you might consider buying some to get to 4 or 8 gb.

IMovie editing slow while MBP connected to Plasma Screen

Am newbie to MBP and iMovie
I am using the MBP connected to the 42 inch Plasma screen. I am getting frequent and prolonged spinning ball while editing in iMovie.
The raw DV footage is stored on Glyph EHD connected to MBP by FireWire 800 cable.
Is the slow functionality and frequent appearance of spinning ball due to connection to Plasma screen ? Is it because the MBP is slowly accumulating more and more footage while building the movie project in iMovie on the MBP hard drive ?
There should be no accumulation of DV files on the MBP hard drive until which time as I decide to burn the movie. Yes, No ?
What sort of interface or accelorator is available for install between MBP and Plasma to overcome this problem since this is a great way to edit.
Thanks

That's not good. Were you barefoot and on a concrete floor? Or touching something else with the hand that wasn't touching the Mac?
It sounds like there could be mis-wiring in the walls...like a crisscross of neutral and ground. You might invest in one of those inexpensive house wiring detectors that they sell at hardware stores and see if it shows a fault when plugged into the same outlet where the TV plugs in.

Yosemite slow on MBP late 2013, did several clean installs

I've got a MBP late 2013 which I upgraded from Mavericks to OS Yosemite. When I did it, the impact was bad: all applications and OS is slow, to write an email or to open simple files have to wait more than 30 secs. i have read all the topics here, have done clean install several times with time machine restore of only apps.
Still MBP is slow, have done PRAM, MCC etc.
how to solve this?

Windows 8 slow on MBP Retina 15

i just got MBP retina 15 and installed windiws 7 pro on it via bootcamp and win was running smoothly. I then upgraded to windiws 8 pro and it stucks/freezes frequently like if i make a new folder or sometimes oopen ny location like c drive or my documents or my pictures it just stucks and waits and waits and then opens it. I then removed entire windiows and restored partition to mac os x and then installed windows 7 and upgraded to windows 8 but i am again having same problems ... its slow in response, not always but most of the time and the mouse pointer gets busy and busy and busy and finally opens the application .... from some other blogs i have tried this with on power and on battery but the result is same !! has anyone faced such an issue and how did it get solved ??

hi all, i have found a strange thing with this issue... i have tried thsi many times and now im sure that this happening because of this .... when i use windows 8 with power plugged in then the windows gets stuck repeatedly, the mouse curser hangs and after a minute or so it starts to work but it again happens after sometime.... when i remove power (MBP running on battery) windows 8 run smoothly without any delay !!!! i have tried this even now ... i was unable to type this as it gets stuck again and again and now i ve removed power supply and now its working fine ........... has anyone experienced same thing with MBP retina 15 ???

Slow processor MBP 17 inch i7

long story: in the last 6 months, i have had 3 MBP 17inch i7 laptops, each one has been as slow and lethargic as the other, 2 of them with logic board issues, and none of them have been even close to the performance ability of my previous (2007) MBP 17inch model. that computer i had 3 years, their 1.66 model which i upRammed to 4GB max, and later updated to a 7200rpm HD, and i have to say i ran it into the ground, working it in all conditions, almost 365 days a year, always using multiple programs at one time (usually about 10-12), including processor-sapping ones like photoshop CS5, capture one, and firefox (with usually about 20-30 windows open), and only restarting about 1 time per month or 3 weeks or so, and it was solid, and dependable, and never blinked, and never crashed. in 3.5 years, i had the logic board replaced 2x, to be expected considering the thrashing i gave it, but other than that, it was a beast. those were the days :-/
this new model , for me, is a basket-case. the first model from B&H NY arrived (in brazil) with a faulty logic board, which was obvious from the beginning as it ran like a dog, was very slow, and had classic collage patterns appearing on the screen sometimes when i changed between images or programs. i took it to Apple in london a few weeks later and they replaced it immediately, agreeing that the logic board was indeed stuffed. 2nd model, ran equally as slowly, consulted apple UK on numerous occasions via genius bar, and the service was great, and every attempt was made to speed things up, including complete manual reinstall (2x) of all my data and programs (leaving behind all unnecessary library files and possible problem-causing data), removing caches, disk warrier, disc utility, hardware tests, creating new user accounts, etc etc, but nothing, it still ran terribly slowly, and i documented many occasions on video to show them, where after only hours of use, or an increase in room temp, or opening 2 or 3 processor-intensive programs at once would send it into snail mode and render it almost useless unless i restarted it. and these are program crashes which i have never experienced on apple, and im talking about generic programs too, like text edit, safari, itunes etc, not just the imported ones like capture one or CS5......
so now they replced the 2nd one, and now im on the 3rd one.....same things. crashes, and totally unusable processor speeds. ive had this 2 months, and after experiencing the same problems again from the start, i requested that they install the maximum RAM to 8GB for me, which they did, and while the performance is alot better, over the last 6 weeks it has degenrated back to about 60% how it was in the beginning. im in NY right now and the last few days have been warm, and this computer gets so hot, so quickly, and i dont even really hear the fans going inside, and that has added to the slow speed too. if i dont have a fan pointing at it, it just acts like a potato. and one thing i do notice, is that while im processing images in capture One (from RAW to tiff), the computer is rendered un-usable, so clearly this is a processor issue. processor monitoring by apple hasnt revealed anying out of the ordinary. so 3 geniuses, 3 laptops, and 6 months later, im still back at Atari speed and am now having logic board issues with this one too, where the collage pattern is coming back (ie. if i have 8 programs open, the screen will momentarily appear as a collage of all those 8 programs for 1/2 second, broken into hundreds of small squares, like an piece of art, either when i flick from one picture to another, or one program to another).
help. :-/ any ideas?

Talk to VirtualBox, they have a full version with enterprise features that may enable VT-x.
Need I mention that Apple is a consumer products company?

Cannot partition, erase, format or restore (OS X Lion, MBP 2009)

Hi!
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro 13" (2.53 / 4GB / 250GB / Lion) that stalled on the grey screen + spinning wheel a few months ago. I was able to recover my data and load it onto a new MBP, so I set the old one aside. I am now trying to repair the problem and cannot get past DiscUtility.
Starting with a Cmd+R start:
"Use English for the main language" [press Enter]
Mac OS X Utilites
[Double-click Disc Utility]
I no longer have "Macintosh HD," but instead a volume called "disc0s2."
From the First Aid tab, I can click Repair Disc. It states: Verifying and repairing partition map for "ST9250315ASG Media" and the time bar begins to run across, while the details box does 5 checks (prereq's, partition list, EFI system), and begins "Repairing the EFI system partition's file system" This runs for a seemingly endless amount of time, until the mouse changes from arrow to spinning color wheel. At this point, clicking nothing works, but the mouse still moves. I manually restarted after 25 minutes. I can let this go all night, but I would like to continue trying alternatives.
For Volume, the error reads:
     Volume Erase Failed
     Volume Erase failed with the error:
     File system formatter failed.
For partition, I have:
     Partition Layout: Current
     Partition Information:
          Name: disc0s2
          Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
          Size: 249.2 GB
From here, when I try to set up one partition, renamed "Macintosh HD" still journaled for the total capacity (250.06GB), I get:
     Partition Failed
     Partition failed with the error:
     Couldn't unmount disc.
And then....
Starting with a Cmd+R start:
"Use English for the main language" [press Enter]
Opened Terminal to verify "date" is correct, which it is. Close Terminal.
[Double-click on Install Mac OS X Lion]
[Click Agree]
The only option I have to install it on is "Recovery HD." It has 650MB total, with 140.3MB available. Also states, "This disc is locked."
I cannot click on the disc anyways, and the only available option is 'Back.' Ultimately, I have to exit Install, and I'm back to the Mac OS X Utilities.
So, could it be a bad drive? It would seem impossible to me considering that any of this is working at all. I have also tried to boot from a OS X Mavericks USB drive (from my newer MBP), but with the same results; except that the Install OS X is for Mavericks. Everything else is exactly the same.
I don't need any of the data on the computer (if there is any left anyways), and I'll try just about anything.
Thank you in advance for your time!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm afraid that might be true. Can the computer operate like this with a bad HD?
Also:
For partition tab, I have:
     Partition Layout: Current
     Partition Information:
          Name: disc0s2
          Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
          Size: 249.2 GB
From here, when I try to set up one partition, renamed "Macintosh HD" still journaled for the total capacity (250.06GB), I get:
     Partition Failed
     Partition failed with the error:
     Couldn't unmount disc.

Slow Lion

I was wondering whether anyone else is experiencing Lion as slow. The install went fine but generally my MacBook Pro is slower with more multi-colored spinning wheels than I had seen before. It just seems like it is lagging overall. If anyone has any suggestions that might speed it up, I would appreicate your help.
I have a MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.7, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of memory.
Thank You.

This is what I did and it seems to have been successful:
Open Disk Utilities
Run Verify Disk->Use Repair Disk if necessary.
Run Verify Permissions->Run Repair Permissions. I had a lot of errors.
Spotlight will reindex your disk, let it do it without opening a bunch of applications.
If necessary, restart your computer holding the alt-option key down, choose Recover and run Disk Utilities from there. I did not need to do that.
Tell me if this works for you.
