Speed Up MacBook Pro

Hey guys!
Today, I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro, not the new retina one or the refresh (early 2012).
Its getting kinda slow. Video/Photo handling is the poorest aswell as battery depletes fairly fast. Not at all what the exact same store model has. I have the LOWEST end model. I fiddled with the same one with the exact same specs in the Apple Store. Handled video and photo so fast.
Specs:
2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
4GB Memory
Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
No modifications to software/hardware has been made. Still under warranty. I want to get it as fast as possible before Mountain Lion.
Thanks, Mak128

You have a similar model to mine but I have made some modifications - upgraded RAM and to a SSD - but I'm getting 7+ hours on battery. The key to getting more battery time is to make sure that you have the defaults set in Energy Saver for battery power, keeping the keyboard dimmed to about 1 bar and keeping the screen brightness down to about 4 bars. Also, stay away from running apps that use too much CPU time - and this means doing things like watching videos - even on YouTube, etc. (just keep it to a minimum).
As to running slow, you might want to do things like check how much hard drive space you have left (having 15-20% free is good - 10% and under not so good). I'd also boot into your Lion Recovery partition (Command-R on boot) and repair permissions on your HD and verify, and if necessary repair, your HD.
Those are the easy things to do - call back if you've done these things and are still having battery problems or slow performance.

Negotiated Link Speed on MacBook Pro mid-2009 with Kingston SSDNow v300

Hi,
I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (13") with Kingston SSDNow v300 SSD drive with Mavericks OS X installed.
I've noticed from different forums that many users have the same problem that I have: SSD drive's Negotiated Link Speed is only 1,5 Gbps, although MacBook Pro mid-2009 should support 3 Gbps speed.
My system has EFI 1.7 firmware update (MBP55.00AC.B03) installed in and System Info says that 3 Gbps Link Speed should be possible:
NVidia MCP79 AHCI:
Vendor:    NVidia
Product:    MCP79 AHCI
Link Speed:    3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed:    1.5 Gigabit
Physical Interconnect:    SATA
Description:    AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
Many users have tried to reset NVRAM and SMC and I have also done these steps, but with not any improvement.
Some users have mentioned that MacBook Pro mid-2009 has a poor SATA ACHI chipset (NVidia MCP79) and SATA III SSD drives won't work on SATA II speed unless SSD drive is forced to work on SATA II speed by firmware update or by some tweaking tool. Is there this kind of tool available for Kingston SSDNow v300?
One user says that he got 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed on Mountain Lion, but after installing Mavericks, speed dropped to 1,5 Gbps (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23549859#23549859).
So, is there any way to get Negotiated Link Speed to work on 3 Gbps on Kingston SSDNow v300 with MacBook Pro mid-2009 (for example by installing an older version of Mac OS X) or do I have to buy a new SSD drive from another manufacturer to get 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed to work on my machine?
If the last option (to buy a new SSD drive) is the only option, would it be wise to look for an older model, a SATA II drive, (maybe OCZ Vertex 2) to get 3 Gbps speed?
Thanks!

Hi
I was just as frustated as you after installing the Kingston v300. I mean it's a solidly built drive with the reliability of kingston (I've been using their RAM for years and years in my desktop PC without problems). Unfortunately, for a the last 3 months I had it in my 2009 unibody white macbook, it was stuck at link speed 1.5.
I've been searching in forums since then without any solution. Even the update for bios is not available for my model.
I just tried the SMC reset after reading the blog.
http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2010/12/04/how-when-why-to-reset-the-pram-smc-on -your-mac/#!w3XEY
On reboot, everything seemed faster, so I checked the negotiated link speed and it was at 3 instead of 1.5! Yay! Then I checked the disk transfer speed on Blackmagic Disk speed test and it roughly doubled from 138 to 260MB/s. Now, I'm not going to shutdown or restart...
I hope this post is useful for people like me stuck at 1.5 Gbps speed. Good luck

Slow Download Speed on macbook pro

I just bought a new 15 inch macbook pro and i'm having trouble downloading anything. i tried downloading software updates and it would be between 2kbps and about 600bps. the time remaining until the download finished started off at about 4 hours then went up to more than a day. i also attempted to install a computer game which is also downloading very slowly.

I'm very unhappy with the last 12 Mac Computers i5's we have put into production. There Download performance is terrible it starts of fast and then stalls out. The Snow Leopard Mac's 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 have cost me many hours of support and network trouble shooting! Here's the Deal, We have a 20/20 mb fiber line coming into our office, Can watch the graph in and out! not maxed out by any means. Even tried it after hours no better. we have about 50 other mac's in the same office running 10.5.x..... No issue downloads and uploads are fast and steady. Windows XP and 7 pc's run at the same pace no issues great download and great up. The problem has happened in these new snowleopard macs 10.6.3. example Just got a MacBookPro 15inch in today took it out of the box hooked it up loaded the screen got it up and running.... FRESH From Apple! started downloads took off good. 4 hrs later i was at 261.1 mb completed this was at 1:58 pm it is now 4 p.m. 2 hrs late and im at 274.7 MB less than 14mb. nothing is wrong with the network all other computers MAC or PC are working fine but all the MAC's we have put into place in the last 4 months are having the same issue! I tested it out i have my PC, my G5 (10.5.x), my IMac i5, and my MAC Pro i7 all sitting at desk all on a gigibit network connection piped into my 20mb line nothing else going on this switch. 500mb file download from the internet from another remote location... Started the Imac and the Mac Pro first. then my g5 and my Pc (HP 8710p). G5 and the PC, took right around 15 min to download the other two "NEW" computers are still going 4 and a 1/2 hours later they say they have 20 min remaining if you have a Fix for this apple please let me know! Fyi in my trouble shooting... if you go bop around on the slow Mac's on the internet for a bit it seem's to speed up the process a bit !?!?!?!?

Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10

I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.

In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
cheers

How do i improve processing speed on macbook pro? it has 2gb memory

I purchased my macbook pro in 2012. It has 2gb memory. Currently on OSX version 10.9.
The processing speed has decreased over a period of time. Although i don't keep heavy data in the system. I have been able to fix it couple of times, but it keeps recurring every few weeks.

You won't get full performance from Mavericks with only 2 GB of memory.
One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that you must maintain a certain percentage, such as 10% or 15%, of free space on the startup volume. That myth is based on nothing except the fact that people keep repeating it.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.

Increase Read/Write Speed of Macbook Pro?

Hey there,
Recently I've decided to purchase a BlackMagic Design Thunderbolt to use with my Late 2011 MacBook Pro in order to capture video game footage. I have test recorded and found that there is a lot of dropped frames and playback is nearly impossible.
I have run a disk speed test and it shows that my MacBook Pro is lacking the required read and write speeds that require me to capture my footage at the desired framerate.
How do I go about increasing those speeds? I know that I should replace the Solid-State Drive (SSD) but where do I start in terms of purchasing one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I still think you should upgrade your HD and RAM as you have been advised.
However, you confirmed my suspicion that you are using Uncompressed video setup, and that's the primary cause of your issues. Uncompressed is unnecessarily huge and would not be used in a consumer setting such as PS3 or even an HDTV.
Before I recommend QT ProRes, however, what is the exact connection you are making ... are you going from your PS3 to your HDTV and then from there to your BlackMagic? Or directly from your PS3 to Blackmagic? What AV out are you using on the PS3? Is your PS3 a PAL version?
You mentioned it's a PAL HDTV and you are using 720p60. That doesn't make sense. 720p60 would be NTSC, not PAL. Mismatching PAL & NTSC video can cause all sorts of headaches; there's a big difference between the frame rates. This may be the cause of your apparently dropped frames. If this is truly PAL then then 720p50 or 1080i50 would be appropriate settings.

Is this normal fans speeds for MacBook Pros? See videos of my MBP in action

I can't figure out the fans on my MacBook Pro. The lowest normal speed for the fans in 2,000 rpm. They will spin up at times for no apparent reason to 5,0000 or 6,200 with nothing taxing the CPU while it's also pretty cool, usually around the high 30's or low 40's celsius.
The other night I was converting a movie with Visual Hub, with the process taking 80% of the CPU and the temp reaching 75 c with the fans staying at 2,000 RPM until about half way through the eight minute conversion. This is a time I would have expected the fans to kick in much earlier than they did.
I have reset the SMC previously with no effect. Coming from a Polycarbonate MacBook this machine is much nosier, but also much cooler running.
Check out the videos I made showing iStat and Activity Monitor during these episodes. Thanks for any feedback. I'm coming to the end of my 14-day return period and wanted to verify if my MBP is operating like others.
VIDEOS HERE.
Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggests.
S.U. -- I ran the Apple Hardware Test when I received the computer and it found no problems.
Travis -- Thanks for the insight to what normal range is for the MBP.
I opened a case with Apple to get the ball rolling and get assigned a case number. The tech on the phone could not look at the videos but didn't think there was a problem from my descriptions. He did suggest I take it in for a look.
Online I made a reservation for the Genius at the Apple Store that night. While I was waiting I was curious how other MBP's handled some serious thrashing. Since it was late and nobody was in the store, I loaded iStat Pro on three of the MBP's and opened Terminal. In two windows I ran yes > /dev/null and let them run.
On all three machines the fan speeds never got higher than the lower 4K rpm range. They all settled in around 90C and stayed there. One MBP ran these processes for about 40 minutes and the highest fan speed I remember seeing was 35XX RPM, and again around 90C, but it would fluctuate up or down a few degrees.
When my appointment came up I showed Rex, my Genius rep (Cleveland, Legacy Village store), what I had done on their machines just to get some perspective on how other MBP's handled both cores running more than 90%.
My MacBook had been asleep for a few hours. When he woke it up the fans went immediately to 4200 rpm and stayed there. He hooked up a super-duper, special, double-secret HD via firewire and booted off that. The problem persisted.
He took it in back to crack it open. He was looking for any loose connections but found none. He could not find any errors but agreed that something was amiss with my MBP.
He was not sure if my computer, being a refurb, was different when it came to returns. We called Apple on my cell, got a rep, and he arranged for them to take back my Mac since I'm within my 14 days.
So props to Rex for his great customer service and a happy ending.

Extremely Slow Download Speeds when MacBook Pro is not plugged in.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" that I bought in May of 2007. I have Verizon High Speed DSL service. I have a Netgear wireless router. When my MacBook Pro is plugged in to a power outlet, it has very fast download speeds. As soon as I unplug it, it slows way down. I am talking like 2 or 3 minutes to load a page that would normally take about 1 second. Is there a setting I can change?

i have a similar problem. My MBP is taking a while to load pages. I dont know if its my internet speeds or my computer.

Slow USB 3.0 transfer speeds on MacBook Pro

Hi There,
I have a 2013 Macbook Pro and I've been having issues with slow transfer speeds to USB drives. I recently purchased a new Kingston Data Traveller 3.0 thinking the issue was with my USB drive itself, but my transfer speeds remain incredibly slow. Any ideas what's going on or how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

NOrmal Temperature and Fan Speed of MacBook Pro 13

Hi,what`s the Normal Temperature and Fan speed of MBP 13 during idle and when browsing or something?...please help..

The notional idle speed for the fan is 2000 rpm. If you turn it on you'll get about that and a temp of about 36 degrees in a cool room if you don't do anything. Opening a browser over wireless and say streaming a TV programme from the BBC will push the fan up to over 3000 rpm and the temp up to 60 degrees or so. Fan will drop to about 2400 rpm and temp to 53 degrees with gentle browsing.
Or that's what I get with a 2.53GHz 4GB memory machine. I took the 250GB disk out as it was noisy and put in a 120GB one that came from a Mac Mini so that may use a bit less power. (And the 2GHz Mac Mini has a rock solid 1500 rpm fan and rarely gets hotter than about 65 degrees - this has similar components to the Macbook Pro and so shows what a slightly bigger air access can do I guess).
The fan is rather faster and more noticeable than I was expecting with the Macbook, but the most noise came from the Toshiba disk which has now been banished to an external enclosure.

5500 rpm fan speed on MacBook Pro 17"

I've got a MacBook Pro, Core Duo 2.16 GHz at work. It has been working just fine, but for the last six months, the fan speed has gone ballistic! When I wake it from sleep, fan speed is about 1000 rpm, but within ten seconds, the speed builds up to 5500 rpm. CPU use is at 2%, the temperature of the CPU is around 40 degrees.
I've installed smcFanControl, but no matter what I set the fan speed to, it never goes lower than 5500 rpm. If I set it to 6000, it goes up to 6000... I've also reset the PRAM, but with no result
Any hints on this?

Try resetting your SMC.

Any Ideas for speeding up Macbook Pro?

My Mac has been acting really slow lately. I have had to get it wiped once already because it was stuck on the grey screen at boot. I know now that I can fix this with safe mode, but I have also been having some big issues using the mac itself. I occasionally write snippets of code on it, but not like entire apps and stuff. I think that I would probably be willing to use termainal (obviously) to fix this.
Any Ideas?

Although, to sneak in the snide comment, I think my laptop got even slower when I put on EtreCheck. Hope this helps!

How can I improve the speed my macbook pro is running at without upgrading hardware?

Okay, I have a standard macbook pro, software is all fully up to date as is my OS, however over the past month or so it seems the mac often takes a fair few seconds to carry out certain functions, and comes up with the multi-coloured loading cursor thing often. It's not a case of memory as I have over 2/3rds of my disk space clear and I don't think my CPU is over-burdened as the monitor shows (if any of these processes are suspect please let me know):
I've ran a malware scan, and it came back with nothing bar a few tracking cookies but I doubt they're responsible. The mac is from 2011, but ran as good as new until about a month ago.
Any ideas how I can improve it's performance? Just a heads up, I have some vague technical awareness, but it's probably best to treat me like I know nothing. Thanks.

Slow download speeds on macbook pro

I am trying to download stuff onto my macbook pro using bit torrent and its sooooo slow! Like for a kids movie its saying 2 weeks! Please someone tell me how to fix this!

Bit torrents are usually used to illegaly download media - software, movies, etc. You're not going to find much help here.
