Whenever I turn off my Mac Pro, everything becomes really slow for hours. Help!

Whenever I turn off my Macbook Pro (mid 2012), everything becomes really slow, and it takes minutes to open a file. This happened a week ago when it told me to install osX again. But at that time, I repaired my mac, and it got to normal in a day, but this time its not. Help?

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?

I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on.

HT1349 when i turn on my mac pro it is very slow I don't know what happen what should i do?

Dear Sir
I have a problem with my note book (Mac pro). when I turn on my note book it is very slow. I have to waite for long time I don't know what happen. how should I do?
yours.

If you have a non-retina MBP then the noise is part of tye OSX startup routine. It is checking the optical drive, and is nothing to be alarmed about.

Mac Pro 8-core too slow for Multiclip editing

I have a Mac Pro 8core (pre-Nehalem), with 4 gb of memory. I'm doing some multiclip editing,and even with RT set to the lowest preview quality, my system stills blocks from time to time. I don't want to invest in a RAID-system, because I don't do multiclip editing that often. Is there an other - not expensive - way to speed up my Mac? Would adding memory - say to 6 gb - help?
I also have the impression that since I upgraded to Leopard Snow, the computer is much less stable. FCP shut down twice unexpectedly yesterday.

You don't say what format of HD you're editing but the fluidity of playing multiclip sequences is really dependent on the system's ability to provide all the streams of video in a timely manner. This means hard drive throughput is essential. A good quality sata drive in a MacPro can read somewhere around 115 MB/sec when empty. It will spool material less effectively as it fills.
Very good quality esata RAID systems can provide 5x that - which is why people utilize them. (fwiw-I've run 16 streams of 720p24 DVCProHD off of a Caldigit HDOne in a multiclip sequence without a hiccup. )
What can you do if you don't want to pay the price for the right gear for the job?
1. populate all your internal bays with fast hard drives
2. empty the drives
3. spread your captured files across all three (non system drives)
This will distribute the load as much as possible without going to a RAID setup.
Once you have all the drives empty, you could try setting up a RAID 0 set using Disk Utility and see if that works for you. One caveat - if you decide to go the internal software RAID 0 route, recognize there is no failsafe should you encounter a serious system crash. Everything on all drives that are part of the RAID set can be compromised.
Good luck,

HT2188 my iPhone is turned off and not getting power on despite charging for hours. How can I fix it? or do I need to send it to apple store? I am from Mankato, MN

My Iphone 4s is shut down and not getting power on. Do I have the battery problem ? how can I fix it when my phone is not getting on and how can I contact to the apple ? I need to send it or fix it by myself within a limited time. I am from Mankato, MN.
Please suggest me what should I do?

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger and Reset, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds of hold both buttons while on charger.

Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?

Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your MacBook for days, turn it off to save battery. If not, you can leave it in sleep mode. Sleep mode doesn't consume a lot of energy and allows you to start up your Mac in seconds, being faster than turning on the MacBook, so it's better to leave it in sleep mode

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
Any help would be appreciated.

10.5.3 can't turn off my mac and programs get stuck

I've installed the latest OS X Leopard update (10.5.3) and since then I'm having serious problems with my Macbook Pro. The iMac of my girlfriend has the update as well but everything is working fine there.
Problem 1: Can't turn off my mac
When I want to turn off my mac I end up with my background and a little spinning wheel. This goes on forever, it seems my mac gets stuck at that point.
Problem 2: Programs get stuck
Since 10.5.3 programs get stuck much faster and when they do Force Quit doesn't work anymore. The program gets stuck and restarting the program can't be done.
Affected programs: Mail, Safari, Camino, NewsFire, Dock
Does anyone has the same problems or does anyone knows what's going on?
My Macbook Pro:
MacBook Pro 15"
Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
2 GB RAM

HI Guust - yeah having a similar problem with an application freezing, although it is just Photoshop CS2 and I can force quite after 2 goes though!! I hope you get a result from this forum - I have been a mac user for 12 years plus and yes there were always problems with updates but never quite as dramatic as this and there were normally fairly easy solutions!
GOOD LUCK!

Hi there nina777s,
You may want to try resetting the PRAM and SMC on your Mac as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Is it ok to turn off my macbook pro 2011

I would like to know if its ok to turn off my macbook pro 2011 every time its not in use , and its not connect to a power source .

It's ok to turn off your macbook if you're not using it for a period of time. Just make sure the battery is not fully discharged when you do so.
I turn my off when i know i won't be using it for the day.
You can however, just close your lid if you plan on using your macbook a few hours later.
