Why do I get a lot of wakeups_resource_spin dumps on Console.app under 10.9.x on an old MacBook Pro ?

I've noticed, under the "Console.app" utility under Mavericks 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 (on an old 15-inch Nov. (mid-)2007 MacBook Pro), that I get a lot of wakeups_resource_spin dumps & some cpu_resource_spin dumps .
Why is that ?

Because that's the way they coded Mavericks. Ignore them, even if performance is suffering. Alternatively, File a bug report with Apple. See https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/ man8/spindump.8.html  for details.

    Pete, you have found like many before you, that eventually software becomes out of date, where software developers at different points no longer support old versions of their product, which eventually fossilizes your computer. It is inevitable.
    You have heard of dog years, well computer years are even shorter, which makes your seven year old laptop certainly middle aged. It is still useful, running the applications it always has, so keep it. But online its years will show.
    With the internet, new software developments affect browsers, and plugins, with java, flash etc.
    Software development is often in step with hardware innovation, and most Apple hardware is not very upgradable and Apple don't support things for very long.
    This leaves you with a an old PowerBook that will still be good for the things it does, though it will have increasing limitations with some modern internet media sites.
    Mozilla no longer support 10.4 Tiger but fortunately there is a group who have kept it alive with their version of Firefox,

  • How do I get Iwork08 to work after transferring my old macbook pro information to my husband's newer macbook pro?

    I do I get iwork 08 to work on my husband's macbook pro?  I had an older macbook pro and he gave me his newer macbook pro.  So, I transferred all the stuff on my old macbook pro to his along with me being a new user/administrator, etc.  Now, when I try to create documents or try to print out something, iwork doesn't work, b/c I am logged on as a new user.  Help!

    He did have iwork installed, but it won't work for me.  When I transferred it to myself as new user, if gave me a trial period of 30 days, I was wondering why that was.  After the 30 days,  it said that I needed to put the serial number in from the iwork boxi or if I bought it from the app store, a serial number could be given to me.  Also, if I didn't have the box or the serial number, I could buy one?  My husband got the computer in 2008 and had the iwork 08 software and installed it.  Now, I guess since it has transferred over to a new user, I have to buy another iwork just to print out anything?  I don't get it.

  • Why is the internet faster on my 3-year-old Macbook Pro than on my iPad???

    Though I love my iPad, I am puzzled why surfing the web is so much slower on the iPad than on my three-year-old MacBook Pro. I have a cable modem and an airport extreme. Loading the same pages on Safari, the MacBook is much faster than the iPad. Is this normal? Could something be slowing down the connection to the iPad?
    Thanks!
    Steven

    Even a 3 year old MacBook has 4 times the CPU power and about ten times the RAM of an iPad.
    You can run speed tests on the iPad and make sure that you don't have a connection problem.

  • Is there anyway to either trade in your old Macbook Pro for a new version, or get a new power cord when the old one has been damaged?

    Well i was just wondering.. since i do have a older version of the Macbook Pro.. and the fact that the power cord has been damaged

    You can always get a price on what an Apple affiliate would give you for your old MacBook Pro by going to http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/faq.html and reading the instruction for the reuse program. Or you can sell your old one on eBay (that's what I did - you'll get more for it). Apple doesn't do a simple trade-in.
    Your cheapest route is just to buy a new adapter. If you don't know which adapter to get, call Apple and they can tell you, or visit your local Apple Store. They're about $80.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • My 3 year old Macbook Pro is getting slow..

    Hello, i have a 3 year old Macbook Pro which have been great use to me. When i first purchased it, the boot up time was extremely fast, and the general speed of the mac was superb. However 3 years later the machine take at least 3 mins to boot up and is pretty slow when i use it to carry out my daily tasks.
    It originally came with Tiger but i upgraded to Leopard, basically i'm after advice on how i can increase the speed or how to make my mac as fast as it was 3 years ago. anyway help or information would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

    Use a Utility like MainMenu or OnyX to clean out the caches, archived and temporary files.
    Do a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
    Use Disc Inventory X to examine your hard drive and see a) if there's anything there taking a lot of space you can delete and b) that you still have 10%+ free space.
    Consider doing a clean install of the OS and all Applications, it's a lot of work but is the one sure way of "starting over"

  • How to get audio to tv from 4 year old macbook pro

    I have a 4 year old macbook pro, i am trying to view it on my samsung tv, i can get video thru the mini port adapter and hdmi cable, but i cant get audio?

    If you Macbook Pro is a 2009 model the mini display port does not carry audio. You must use a separate audio cable from your computer's audio out to your TV's audio in.

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

    Call Apple and give them your serial number and they will send you the disks for a nominal charge.

    Agreed. Don't even think about starting a long, disc-intensive process like that without both machines powered by AC.

  • My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther. Why?

    My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther.
    Why?

    But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
    Insert your DVD.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
    In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
    Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
    The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
    Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
    Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
    Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
    Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
    Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.
