Slow shutdown on macbook pro 2010 ssd

My ssd macbook pro 2010 13 inch takes 20 sec for shutdown and around 25 for booting up. I have tried clean my mac, onyx etc but with no improvements. All software are updated and I am only using 90 GB out of 128 GB. All apps are closed prior shutdown. As a side note, my girlfriends early 2008 macbook pro shuts down within 5 sec with a regular HD
Any ideas?

  • Macbook Pro 2010 SSD Question

    Hello,
    I've been thinking off adding a little better speed to my macbook pro 2010. It's not slow as ive upped the 4gb memory to 8gb which has made a good difference however I still want to add a bit extra under the hood.
    I have contemplated getting the new macbook pro but if the ssd speeds things up then I may as well get a 500gb SSD.
    I heard that you cannot use a SATA III is this correct or can I use one of those in a macbook pro 2010?
    your advice and help would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Mark

    the Samsung EVO says the following;
    Interface: SATA 6Gb/s (compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s)
    I'm guessing this means it should be okay?
    Thanks

  • How can I get a better driver for my 1394b Hostcontroller in my Macbook pro 2010 to solve the problem, that it is too slow under Windows 7 installed with bootcamp ?

    How can I get a better driver for my 1394b Hostcontroller in my Macbook pro 2010 to solve the problem, that it is too slow under Windows 7 installed with bootcamp ?
    WIndows can't find a better one than the installed LSI Conformed 1394 Hostcontroller

    Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
    Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

  • Move full SSD / Drive from busted Macbook Pro 2010 to older model

    Hi,
    I have a 13" Macbook Pro 2010 model whose logic board has failed. I want to take the SSD (installed with Snow Leopard and full of files and folder structures I want to keep) out of this busted computer and move it over to a Late 2007 Macbook Pro model I have lying around to get access to the drive again. I know in theory, I can install a SSD into this model, but can I install an SSD that is already formatted by my newer model? Are there things I need to consider?
    And if the answer is yes, BUT it can be slightly unstable, can I go about mirroring the drive onto an external hardrive once it is in the 2007 model, wiping the SSD, reinstalling the SSD with a fresh boot and then transferring file structure from mirrored drive back onto the freshly installed SSD in my 2007 model? Does that sound like a good process?
    Thanks.

    The OS is  machine-specific, so I doubt that an OS installed on a SSD on a 2010 would even boot a 2007 model.
    You can TRY to install the drive into the 2007 model and use the installation disc(s) that came with that model to install the OS. It might work, might not. More likely than not, you're just going to have to erase the SSD, from Disk Utility on your installation disc, and start anew.

  • My macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    my macbook pro 2010 is really laggy and slow any help

    Hi..
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop.
    Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    Starting up in Safe Mode deletes system caches that can help also. Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient. Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Restart.
    And disabling the resume feature can help.
    Open System Preferences > General. Deselect:  Reopen windows when quitting and re-opening apps

  • Macbook Pro 2010 very slow since Mountain Lion!

    Hi!
    My Macbook Pro 2010 has become very slow since I installed Mountain Lion. How can I use OS X Lion again?

    Regardless of whether you think you need it, uninstall it and test to see if the slowness problem is solved.
    If it isn't put it back if you must, but there's no point trying to look for another cause till you've eliminated this one. You have a huge amount swaps which is what is causing your slowdown. 90% chance that's your AV software doing that.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 running mavericks = impossibly slow

    Ever since I downloaded Mavericks on my Macbook Pro 2010, everything is impossibly slow if I have a few applications opened at once, which never used to be a problem. Any advice would be much appreciated. I ran an Etrecheck, here are the results below.

  • Macbook pro 2010 windows 7 slow stratup problem solution

    Seems to most of people having this problem. Me too. I just find out the reason cause the slow startup. When you guys just finish install the windows 7, should not be any delay on loading screen., right? However, only after you install the SLIC of some kind of brand like sony, will casue the slow startup. In my situation, I installed Sony SLIC then the slow loading screen appeared, when I go back to windows, uninstalled the Sony SLIC, just 2 second flash the goes into loading page. Everything's fine now. So, not sure which SLIC will make you guys machine work better. In my Macbook pro 2010, I use ASUS SLIC, work prefect. Try it out.

    Go find a latest Windows Loader like Windows_Loader_v2.0.5. I installed Alienware SLIC now work like rocket. If anyone still have problems or cant find the Loader, email me, I will send you one. [email protected]

  • Macbook Pro (2010) vs Macbook Air (2011)

    I have a Macbook Pro (2010 model, 15" screen, i7 2.66ghz, 500gb 7200rpm drive) which I currently use for work which includes some photoshop. I am a little tired of lugging it around as it is quite heavy especially when you include the power pack and wireless mouse. So I was considering getting the 2011 Macbook Air (13", i7 1.8ghz, 256gb SSD drive) as a replacement.
    According to this web site (http://www.primatelabs.ca/geekbench/mac-benchmarks/) the Air (5786) scores marginally better than my Pro (5562).
    Before (and if) I make my purchase I was hoping someone here knew more about a direct comparison of these notebooks and wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge.
    Thanks!

    The 1.8GHz dual-core i7 Air is 32% slower than your 2.66GHz dual-core i7 Pro in all respects other than hard drive speed. In highly disk-intensive operations, the Air's SSD may make up the difference, but in pure processing operations, your Pro has a big edge. For graphics, the Air's integrated GPU with shared VRAM is considerably less powerful than your Pro's discrete GPU and dedicated VRAM. Nothing in the Air is upgradeable; your Pro can be outfitted with a larger hard drive or a faster SSD and twice as much RAM as the Air will ever have. All the non-resizable user-interface elements (menu bar and its text, dialog boxes and their text, tool palettes and toolbars in many apps, etc.) will be dramatically smaller and may be hard to read on the Air, unless your Pro has the optional high-resolution 1680 x 1050 display, in which case things will be the same size on the Air screen, but you'll see less of them because there are fewer pixels in its screen.
    I think sticking with the Pro is a no-brainer. To lighten your load, leave the mouse at home and use the wonderful features of the MBP's trackpad. The Pro will never be as light as an Air, but it's a substantially more capable computer, and best of all, you've already paid for it.

  • MAcBook Pro (2010) i7 17" Strange problem (filesystem crash)

    About month ago I changed my 1 year old MBP 2009 to MacBook Pro 2010 17" i7 one. I moved SSD (Patriot KOI 256GB) and 8GB of RAM to new device. I have noticed strange problem - sometimes filesystem crashes. When application ask to reboot system (because of reboot or instalation) sometimes system refuse to start - it shows progress bar similar to the one shown when going back from deep sleep. Or I can hear bell (standard one) but after this system powers off. The only way to have system working back is to use Disc Warrior to repair it because Disk Utility from install DVD can't repair filesystem and suggest to reinstall it and take data from backup.
    I have no such problems with previous device. It happens even on fresh system for example just after installing Norton Internet Security (when installer asked for permission to reboot). I have no sudden hangs, no other problems at all.
    Any suggestions?
    During month it happens about 10 times. I even prepared my rescue USB with installed system and Disk Warrior.
    Hardware test goes without problems. SMART status of drive is ok.

    You can ignore the advice of nearly all the long-time contributors to these Discussions and keep Norton utilities on your Mac, but I guarantee that every time you mention Norton anything in these forums, you will be advised to remove it completely. Perhaps it isn't responsible for your present problem, but I'm certainly not convinced of that, and because Norton software is a well-known cause of trouble in OS X, I suspect many other people reading this thread won't be convinced either.
    When you reinstalled the OS on your new machine, did you do so from the DVDs that came with it? Did you completely erase the hard drive?

  • Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

    I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb.  Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

    Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
    So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port.  I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's.   The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps).   A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009.  On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and  Seagate Momentus XT 750.  Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ.   Check your System Info on SATA info.   If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives.  If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices.    On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!!      The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle.   This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

  • Upgrade Ram, HD to SDD and New Battery for Macbook pro 2010 i7 15". (with price).

    Hi, i want to upgrade my Ram, Hard Disk and Battery of Macbook pro 2010 Model with i7 processor and 15" display.
    My current configuration:
    Ram: 2GB + 2GB (original with mbp purchase)
    Hard Disk: 500 GB (250 GB full)
    Battery: Cycles - 669 and Health - 87 % (As show by istat)
    New configuration I want:
    Ram: 8 Gb best of all (what to do with the previous 2GB + 2GB Ram)
    SSD:Minimum 128 Gb ( what to do with previous 500 GB

    I ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.
    Crucial m4 512GB SSD - from Amazon - $389.99.
    Crucial m4 256GB SSD - from Amazon - $203.84.
    Crucial m4 128GB SSD - from Amazon - $112.87.
    Crucial 8GB RAM for 2010 15" MacBook Pro - from Crucial - $47.99.
    What to do with your old RAM? Just trash it or label it and put it in an anti-static bag and put it in your 'parts' drawer. Or trash it. Or give it away. It's not worth anything.
    Good luck,

  • New Macbook Pro:  To SSD or not to SSD?

    Hello All,
    It has been a while since I have been in the market for a new computer. I've managed to hang on to my 12-in. PowerBook G4 since 2003! Alas, it's time for an upgrade, now that the new 2010 line of MBPs have been released.
    So far, I'm leaning towards getting the 15" i7 2.66 Ghz, with an 8 GB RAM. My dilemma is whether to stick with the 500 GB HDD that it comes with or "upgrade" to Apple's stock Solid State Drive. I'm not a techie, but I've been reading a little bit about the pros and cons of SSDs. It's a pricey option (especially for the top-tier 512GB), so I thought it merited further consideration.
    I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about the longevity of these drives (decay, degradation?), SLC vs MLC drives, and whether or not Apple's stock SSD drives are a good value overall. (Anybody know which brand(s) Apple uses?)
    The salesperson with whom I spoke at the Apple store didn't seem to know much about the machine's internals. I've had much better success searching answers in these discussion boards, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Your experienced and thoughtful insight is always appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Cheers!

    I have the 13" 2.53 Macbook Pro with SSD configured from the Apple Store (I think I paid $600 extra). It is only up to you to decide whether an SSD is worth the price for you. Frankly, given my usage I don't know how an SSD makes things better other than:
    1) Making me feel secure moving the machine when using it or using it during turbulence in airplanes ...
    2) Instant open of applications
    Would I envision today buying a computer without an SSD? NO. To me, the level of comfort from the two advantages I listed above is worth the expense. I am not sure I would pay some $1350 extra for the 512 GB though. But I might.
    The SSD supplied by Apple was a Samsung. Could other brands be less expensive? Perhaps. But I don't see how any other SSD could be faster +for my needs+. It is not that I keep writing huge amounts of data to my disk all the time. You can think of it that way: An SSD is at the very least an option that improves the overall experience and comfort (including a sense of security) and in this respect, given certain usage patterns (mine), the ones Apple uses are good enough.

    Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
