Slow macbook pro since the airport security patch and last OS update about a week ago..

Hi, my Macbook Pro has slowed down to a crawl on the internet since the airport security patch and OS update about 1 week ago. I am using Firefox 3.6.17 and have tried all versions up to date (but 3.6.17 is the best). Same issues with Safari too. I am using an Airport wireless modem also so should not be any issues with compliance. Local programs seem to run OK... but the internet is slow enough to grow a beard... Do they have a patch for this issue. It only started after the updates. Was blazing fast until that.

How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.

Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

Since the latest security patch (ML), I'm getting choppy video across my entire MacBook

MacBook Pro (2012)
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB Ram
Everything was fine until a few weeks ago... after installing the latest security patch for ML, video playback - downloaded and streamed - will briefly pause and/or choppy. I thought the problem was resolved w/ Yosemite, but no such luck. I'm assuming it's a systemic issue... though where to begin?
I'm not that tech savy, and may need to bring this in for a look-see. Any tips on where to go from here?
Thanks

Put me on the list as a supportor of the action. I imagine there are going to be many others with the similar complaint, this Co. has been cacheing my old accounts & poping them up every now & then, just to try & use up or do away with my credits.
hhays.

When using Earthlink email I cannot reply to a message. I could for the first 6 months I used it but about 6 weeks ago the problem arose. How do I fix it?

I use email through a site called TheGrid.net which is a part of Earthlink.net. It worked fine with Firefox till about six weeks ago. Now when I am looking at an email message when I hit Reply or when I try to write a message, it won't let me. It brings up two blank boxes below the message heading. It won't let me enter data in the first box and when I type in the second box, which it will let me do, it will not accept it when I hit Send.
I suspect you did an automatic update to Firefox when the problem arose. Can you help? Thank you.

I too have this problem plus I can't even write email. I get no cursor in the write box. If I don't get an answer real soon I'm going to use Chrome where this problem does not occur

Slow MacBook Pro since Yosemite. CPU almost 90%. Fans on.

My MacBook Pro has become very slow since installing Yosemite. Fans are on very often In Activity Monitor. Sometimes, I sometimes see cloudd taking up 90% of the CPU (as you can see from below). Other times, it's a web page gobbling up CPU.
Can someone please offer a suggestion to get my laptop get it's MOJO back? Already reset the SMC and PRAM

Hey Ogelthorpe,
Thanks so much! I uninstalled CleanMyMac 2 and restarted. But, fans are still blowing and CPU still unreasonably high. The fans came on as soon as I restarted - and stayed on for minutes. I ran Activity Monitor to see what was running. It's appears that one of three things are at the top of the list using up a high CPU % - either cloudd (was as high as 90%), WindowServer or Flash Player for Safari.
As I post this, it's been 15 minutes since reboot - and the fans have calmed down. But, it seems that in the past, it's just a matter of time before some process kicks in - and it's another episode of Fans Gone Wild.
One more piece of the puzzle that may add to your diagnosing the patient (and I didn't know if this was related or if I should start a new post for it): Since upgrading, I now see a popup when I reboot. It says, "com.apple.iCloudHelper.xpc wants to use the "login" keychain". But, here's the weird part - it's not the regular password for the laptop. To get it to go away, I have to enter a password that I have not used in 2-3 years. Very strange (cue Twilight Zone music...)
Any suggestions for next steps?
Latest and greatest EtreCheck (15 minutes after reboot - and cloudd went away).

suzierobs,
after purchasing two 2 GB memory modules of the proper type for your model MacBook Pro (one example can be found here), you can follow the instructions in the little white printed booklet which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro for replacing the modules.

Macbook pro gives 'no airport driver' error after applying latest update

So I applied the latest security update this morning, rebooted and now my macbook refuses to finish booting into gui mode. It says 'no airport driver' and tries to do something 10 times (takes awhile) but then doensn't finish booting and drops me into a console where it says 'compname/I have no name!#' and the whoami command hangs!
Luckily I have boot camp with windows on this mac and I'm posting from the windows side right now. Everything works fine from the windows side (wifi, etc).
So anyone else have this problem? Or have any ideas how to fix it? I'll reboot in a bit and write down the exact error messages hoping it will help.
I really would not like to reinstall mac os if I don't have to, tho this seems to be the only way to fix this.

BTW some more info on this machine, its a macbook pro model A1150, 2.0ghz 15" core duo w/ 2gb ram, 120 gb hd, etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm seeing similar problems loading the airport driver on my macbook pro though it doesn't stop me from starting up OS X. Originally I only discovered the problem because my machine would intermittently boot up without the airport status icon in the menu bar. Checking the network settings I saw that airport was off and there was no option to turn it on. Digging further I found that there wasn't even an airport card listed in the hardware inventory in the system profiler. Checking out the system.log in the Console app I found the following sequence of errors:
Feb 25 21:45:05 localhost kernel[0]: ath_attach: devid 0x24
Feb 25 21:45:05 localhost kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: 5
Feb 25 21:45:05 localhost kernel[0]: ar5416GetEeprom: Failed crc in geteeprom
Feb 25 21:45:05 localhost kernel[0]: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 7
Feb 25 21:45:05 localhost kernel[0]: start [/SourceCache/AirPortDriverAtheros5424/AirPortDriverAtheros5424-221.46/m35b/src /driver/AtherosController.cpp:464] loaded unsuccessfully
A few lines later I also see the "No Airport Driver Found" message.
I'm not sure exactly when this problem started happening because I usually just leave my macbook pro connected to my network via an ethernet cable. I don't use the airport often but it's pretty annoying when I need it and I can't get it to start reliably.

How can i get a macbook pro in the caribbean especially trinidad and tobago

I have been a pc user for years and I am tired of them not living up to standard. I viewed the presentations about macbook pro and I am wondering why I never used it before.
Anyway I am a teacher and loved what I saw the the iwork software was capable of but I have no where of accessing a store to purchase one. Is there any way I could get access to purchasing one?
In Trinidad and Tobago pc's arepopular but I think if teachers got a chance to experience the capabilities of a mac they would switch. Any ideas on how I can get one?

You can look for an actual Apple Authorized Reseller here - http://www.apple.com/lae/buy/
Trinidad & Tobago are listed in the first "find a reseller" list there, so there should be some.
see https://locate.apple.com/tt/en/ - I entered Port of Spain here and it popped up with at least 6 resellers.

I am running IPhoto 8.1.2 on MacBook Pro v. 10.8.4 and need to update to 9.1 or better to get the latest update. I can't find the backward updates to download and install.

I am running iPhoto 8.1.2 on MacBook Pro v.10.8.4. Need to upgrade back releases to get to 9.1 to get the most current upgrade. How can I get and install?

You have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 You want iPhoto '11 version 9.4.3. To move from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11 you must pruchase iPhoto '11 in the App Store
Backup your iPhoto library prior to upgrading in case of upgrade problems

Since your last update about 2 weeks ago, Firefox acts as an agressive site to block other IP addresses I want to go to. Even the Veterans administration.

This will mean I will remove firefox from my pc. other people also have the same problem.I need to have more control and let me override the standards and go to the webpage if I deem it acceptable.

Glad someone replied, but did you seriously NOT read the posting:
'''"I have flushed the cache, deleted cookies, etc... I have done all the standard basic things before writing here. The version 2 weeks ago worked just fine...is there a way I can go BACK to that version? Is it on the website somewhere? "'''
As far as extensions, most of my extensions don't work with this current version of firefox... the ones that still do always played nice with google calendar and all my facebook games..
Seems there is just something between the new version of firefox and google calendar... I talked to 3 other friends that also have this problem. I tried on my moms computer as well as her laptop, and also can't get to my calendar. Yet, can with Chrome and IE. And I know that before this latest auto-update of firefox they all worked flawlessly with those pages..
I am trying to find an older version that I can use....I must learn NOT to update when everything works flawlessly as I need it...

Firefox 8, since update about a week ago, will no longer show some pages

My google calendar page is totally blank. When I got to the site: http://calendar.google.com it looks like stuff is loading (info bar showing url's) and then very quickly I see a blank white page of nothingness. I use this calendar for my business and if I can't see upcoming jobs or schedule clients, then firefox becomes useless to me at work.
On facebook, since that same update last week, several games do not load properly. Lucky Train just hangs at the main screen. And Lucky Space, while it loads and plays fine, will not load the Messages page. and constantly shows '0' (zero) for the number of messages (should show nothing if no messages and shows correct number using IE (ICK) or Chrome)
I have had to start using Chrome for these pages...and I want to only use Firefox.
I have flushed the cache, deleted cookies, etc... I have done all the standard basic things before writing here. The version 2 weeks ago worked just fine...is there a way I can go BACK to that version? Is it on the website somewhere?
I design all my websites specifically to work 100% with Firefox, and if problems like this occur, I would be forced to use another browser as my target...and I really do NOT want to do that.. I have been the reason well over 1000 people now use Firefox and NOT other browsers...I am one of your biggest fans....and supporters..but this (seemingly) simple thing (yeah, I was a programmer for years...simple = damned near impossible and 1000's of lines of code...lol) is really hurting me for work...
Thanks!!!!
Greg

Everytime i turn my MacBook pro on the screen is black and the fan stays on. is there anything i can do to fix it?

bvc

Sound pretty serious.
Have you got AppleCare?
If so, book an appointment at the Genuis Bar & take it in ASAP.

My MacBook pro has only 10.5.8 and says no updates available. Any ideas?

I need to update iTunes and sync my iPad and iphone4s, and keep getting message that I need to update my software, but when I try to, computer reads no software available. Ideas?

Slow macbook pro since the airport security patch and last OS update about a week ago..
