Why is my 2008 Macbook faster than my 2012 MacBook Pro?

I got a basic, 13Inch Macbook back in 2008. It has been used, nonstop, for the past almost 5 yrs since i bought it. I never turn it off, it always gets used on a bed/couch, tonnes of windows/programs constantly open. Its full of crappy DLed programs, movies, music and whatnot, has only recently been updated to 10.6 OS X. Its dying, the charger barely works, and it over heats and blacksout sometimes and yet, it runs so much faster than my end of 2012 13in MacBook Pro, 2.9GHz model. Slower to the point that i still use my old one and let Hubby take the new one to the Construction site with him. Ive used it maybe once or twice since i bought it in November. Booting up is slower, general use is slow, opening programs is slower. And its got almost nothing on it!
Just wondering why its slower when its newer and supposedly better? I thought i was upgrading?

Wipe the drive on the new system and Reinstall OS X. Factory installs aren't all they are supposed to be. Sometimes corrupted from the Get Go.
Only by wiping the drive and doing a Fresh Clean Install will you know if your slowness was caused by some type of OS corruption or posibly a hardware problem.
Also you don't mention what RPM the drive is in your older Mac but Apple puts really Slow 5400RMP drives in the newer models by default. These Slow 5400RPM drives will slow down the whole system. Slow to boot. Slow to load programs and files into those programs and slow to save back to the drive. Also OS X is constantly writing to and reading from the hard drive so a slower drive will again slow down the whole system.
If it is less then 14 days old you can return it No Questions Asked for a full refund and then maybe try another, different, machine.

  • Why is my 2008 macbook pro so slow?

    What is the best thing to do for a 2008 macbook pro that seems to run slower as it gets older? Should I take it to the apple store or is it something I can possibly fix myself?
    Thank you very much~!

  • New macbook pro battery for late 2008 macbook pro dies fast.

    I have a late 2008 macbook pro 2.4 HGz Intet Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram. I've had it since 2009 and just got a new battery, as the old one finally gave up. That being said, the new battery dies quite fast and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thank you

    Only problem is that maybe the battery you were sold was manufactured around the same time as the Mac. And LiPo batteries die because of old age as well as use. Take it out and carefully examine all markings, especially anything that can date when it was made, like copyrights or such.
    With that evidence you can go back and demand a refund.

  • Why do 15.4" Macbook Pro's not support resolutions greater than 1440 x 900?

    Hi.
    I am a Microsoft .net software developer and am seriously considering getting a Macbook Pro to do some iPhone development. My company has provided me with a 15.4" Dell Precision M4400 that features an LED-backlit screen and nVidia Quadro FX 770M discrete graphics card, supporting 1920 x 1200 native resolution. I'd like to know why the 15.4" Macbook Pro's do not support anything greater than 1440 x 900 when it seems entirely possible? I understand that 17" MBP's do support 1920 x 1200 but it is not currently an option I'm considering pursuing due to the increased size and weight.
    Thanks.
    Jon

    Just to be clear, since you're bringing up graphics cards - the 15" MBP supports up to 2560x1600 resolution on an external display, and simultaneously supports full native resolution on the internal display. As Phil points out, the native resolution of the 15" MBP's internal display is 1440x900, and Apple does not offer a higher resolution option for that model (although higher resolution 15" displays do exist). As to why that's the case, only Apple can answer that or change that.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html.
    As you know, if you want to use the iPhone SDK, you need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
    Ps. Welcome back, Phil!!

    i have explation guys..why apple dual qure is faster than other quad qure devices?and appl 1g ram .is faster 2g of other devises?...i wish to get the reason

    It is the OS. have you ever heard of UNIX? If you installed linux on your mac it work run just at fast... windows is very resource intensive. Also apple make sure the drivers are correct and run properly while windows could care less. Someone else can give you more reasons.

  • My Early 2008 Macbook Pro will not boot with anything greater than 3GB of Ram.

    Early 2008 Macbook Pro 4,1
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)
    OS X 10.8.4
    Serial: W88450LR1XR
    I keep reading mixed reviews saying that 3GB is the max while others say this system supports up to 6GB.  I have tried both Kingston and Crucial and PNY and I get the same results.  I can have 1x2GB stick and 1x1GB stick but not 2x2 GB sticks.  Both 2 GB sticks work independently but they will not work together.  They are PC2-5300 667 MHz.
    I would really love to have at least 4 GB of ram in this computer.  Is it not possible? 
    Thanks in advance.
    Symptoms:
    If I put 2x2 GB in the computer and power it up, the little light on the front of the computer comes on but the screen stays black.  No post beeps or anything to indicate a failure or that it's running (except the light that comes on when I hit the power button)

    Ok - so no one is replying.   I just contacted Other World Computing who says that my Laptop will support up to 6GB of ram.  I just ordered the memory directly from them.   I have 6GB in the mail and should arrive tomorrow.  I will report that if their guarenteed ram will work.

  • More than 4GB RAM in 2008 Macbook Pro 17"?

    Does anyone know of a way to get the 2008 Macbook Pro 17" to be able to recognize 8GB RAM instead of the maximum spec of 4GB? Or is it simply a hardware limitation of the board?

    When a Mac has RAM-related problems, the most common manifestations are 1) failure to boot, accompanied by some number of beeps on startup, and 2) kernel panics. Other symptoms are possible, but these are the ones you're most likely to see.
    If you do experience any trouble with 6GB of RAM installed, remove and replace the 4GB module you've installed with the original 2GB module you removed, then repeat as exactly as possible the sequence of operations that led up to the problem. Yes, it may be very hard if not impossible to reconstruct that sequence, particularly if you've been running the computer for a long time when the problem suddenly arises. Still, it's worth trying, to see whether the problem still occurs with the original RAM in place. If it does, you obviously can't blame it on 6GB of RAM. If it doesn't, perhaps you can; further testing is probably in order if you have the time and energy to do it. If you don't, you may want to return the RAM and just get along with 4GB and a stable, dependable computer. Any vendor from whom you will want to consider buying RAM will give a lifetime warranty on it and will explicitly warrant that it's Mac-compatible. Buy from such a vendor and you shouldn't have any trouble returning it if it doesn't work out for you.
    It's also possible that 6GB will work just fine for you except when you try to run some particular app or combination of apps. In that case, you'll have to decide whether you can live with that limitation.

  • Slow firewire 800 speeds on early 2008 macbook pro 17"

    I've got an early 2008 macbook pro 17". I'm transferring files between a WD mybook studio II (2TB) configured as raid-1 to a sata dock with a seagate 1TB drive daisy-chained over firewire 800. both 1TB drives in the WD mybook and the 1TB seagate in the sata dock are 7.2k rpm. I'm running a block-level clone FROM the mybook TO the seagate using Carbon Copy Cloner which i would think would be the fastest real-world test i could do. I'm getting pegged speeds of 40MB/s. This is on par with other regular read/write speeds i've noticed in the past. this seems way off. to remove variables i unplugged my two firewire 400 drives (as i've heard that may slow things down, even though they're not doing anything during the clone) and it SLOWED DOWN the fw800 clone to 38MB/s ! plugging the two firewire 400 drives back in during the clone brought the speeds back up to 40MB/s. i don't have a unibody 2009 mbp that had the firewire issues.
    1) HDD's should read at 70-80MB/s and at least write at 59 MB/s, why am i not getting that using firewire 800 and two 7200 rpm drives ?? (i know the wd mybook is raid-1 but i'm reading from it...shouldn't effect read performance)
    2) (less important) why on earth would having two firewire 400 drives plugged in and inactive make the firewire 800 transfer speeds go up/down 2MB/s
    i'm willing to experiment with anyone's suggestions. huge thanks in advance.

    i have a similar problem.
    i have a new seagate freeagent 1tb drive w/FW800, FW400 and USB2.0 ports, and its connected via the FW800 port/cable to my macbook pro, and read/write speeds are really slow, particularly read speeds.
    i'm currently working on an audio project with around 15 audio tracks running at once, and it chokes the drive ('HD overload' errors), so i've done some benchmark testing using Drive Genius and Xbench. the results show that the drive is averaging around 12mb/s read speed, and around 26mb/s write speed. grim.
    i tried the drive with the FW400 connection on my missus' old imac g5, and its much faster than my mbp's FW800 connection, so i decided to try the drive back on my machine with OSX booted in Safe mode, and benchmark it again. the results are massively different; the FW800 connection is very fast (as you'd expect).
    both the tests were done with all my peripherals attached (usb hub, ethernet cable, usb2 ext. drive) so i don't think the problem is with those.
    what i'm wondering is if there are any known system extensions that can screw with the FW bus speeds? if not, any pointers as to where i should start troubleshooting?
    many thanks!

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS.  The screen died and it's not worth replacing.  How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS.  The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model.  I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need?  What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases.  How can I accomplish this?
    My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive.  Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
    I know this is lengthy.  Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

    the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
    A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later.  A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
    The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

  • Early 2008 MacBook Pro hard drive was killed; how to sync stuff

    My early 2008 MacBook Pro hard drive was reimaged (not by me) and they lost everything on there, and have now put in a new hard drive, saying nothing was salvageable on the original HD. I have an iPhone, iPod, iPad. When i get the MBP back, how will I be able to get those devices synced so that everything I've bought/have goes back onto the HD?
    The original HD was being reimaged because my work requires use of Windows, and I was using Windows via Boot Camp. Windows got a terrible rogue virus (from my clicking on a link), which shut everything down on that side. Work tech folks said they needed to reimage the Windows part of the drive, but said in the process, the reimaging took everything, Mac stuff included. That's why I'm in this situation. They are going to put in a new hard drive, but it is a blank slate.
    Long story short: last time I backed up was 2 years ago, and it wasn't using Time Machine, but an external hard drive. That was also before I got my current iPhone, the iPad and made some additions to iTunes. (For those who say shame on me, for not doing a backup sooner, you're right: But we have gone through 3 moves in 18 months, so it has been kinda nuts.)
    I expect the MBP to get sent back to me in the next day. I have no idea how to put these pieces back together. I'm not even sure about data recovery, but am most concerned about iTunes/iPhone/iPod/iPad.
    Thanks for your help!

    Two years ago??? Shame on you!!! 
    I found this the other day. It's old but still applies. This should be more than enough to help you get back on track. See the comments by Zevoneer

    You will have to check on each of these. Some of the links are outdated but there is more than enough to get you started. See this article about transferring purchases. The link is in the other thread as well.

  • Is there a big performance boost from 2008 MacBook Pro to i7 iMac/Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to determine if a new desktop is worth the investment. I have a 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz and 4GB of RAM. I'm getting a little frustrated with it when using it with Aperture and Final Cut Express. It's just too sluggish for me.
    But before I drop about $2500 on a new Mac Pro or iMac, I want to be sure I'm going to see a huge performance boost over my laptop. I'd hate to spend all the money only to find my photos and videos process only 10 or 15% faster than before. I'd like to see a new machine perform twice as fast but maybe that's unrealistic. I'm just not sure.
    Can someone please tell me what I should expect? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Barefeats has done all sorts of tests http://www.barefeats.com/
    Maybe these two http://www.barefeats.com/mbpp20.html http://www.barefeats.com/mbpp18.html can give an impression on what to expect (i7 iMac - MBP 3.06 C2D)
    Hope it helps

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

  • Unpredictable reboots on my early 2008 Macbook Pro with Mavericks

    Hello,
    My situation:
    1) First problem I encountered was kernel panic on startup. I fixed it fixed by replacing new AppleSMC.kext by older one from 10.8.* version I suppose  (i used KextWizard).
    2) Time after time MacBook restarts and then shows white screen with a message "your computer restarted because of a problem" (or something very similar). I'm able to start system after Cmd+Option+P+R and safe mode.
    3) If I don't use the way described in point 2, I receive kernel panics with reboot (screenshots made in verbose boot mode attached).
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Having "performed all of the iSight Troubleshooting", you have already reinstalled OS X, Firefox, and Chrome, updated all of them to the latest versions, uninstalled all third-party mirroring software, and tested in more than one OS X login user account.
    If you now restart your Mac and launch only Photo Booth, does not the PB window now display the image your camera is viewing?
    If the answer is no, even for the simple Photo Booth app, we are left wondering how scratch.mit.edu (a Flash-based web site) can find a working camera when using the Chrome browser.
    If the answer is still no, my first suggestion would be to click the "Check Now" button in your  > System Preferences... > Flash > Advanced menu command.  If there is a later update, apply it, and test your camera again using Apple's iSight troubleshooting suggestions.
    If you were already using the current Flash version, or if updating it does not change any troubleshooting results, I would try reinstalling OS X one more time in case you had a bad download or install on your previous try.  Then test again with Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.

  • Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.

    Hello.  I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15".  Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.
    I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC a couple of time but that didn't work so I ran an Apple Hardware Test and while testing the logic board it gives the following error:
    4SNS/1/40000000 LB1T
    I've done some research and found this is a temperature sensor related to the battery, but cannot find where the sensor is located in the computer.  Would you know how I can find the sensor to test it?  Could my battery problem be related to something else?  Would a fresh install of Lion help?
    Thank you!
    Mike
    Two pieces of information that may or may not b helpful, the hard drive is from my early 2008 MBP and the only test disc I have access to is from an iMac.

    Why do you have LION installed on that older machine?
    So you say you built a macbook from a bucket of parts eh?   Kudos
    heres a pic of the battery temp sensor

  • How to transfer/migrate from Late 2008 MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro, with retina?

    Is there anyway of directly connecting a Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a MacBook Pro, with retina, in a Target Disk Mode way without having to wait for the magical adapter in July?
    Should I go to the Apple Store, buy a normal MacBook Pro, use it to do the transfer, and return it?
    Thanks to anyone for taking the time to answer.

    There is Setup Assistant when you first boot the new Mac, over wireless it's supposed to migrate for you, however I hear it can take hours and days to complete.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Pro_Retina_QuickStart.pdf
    Another faster method would be to use the free/donations Carbon Copy Cloner the old Mac to a blank USB3, 2,1 drive, then hook it up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant) that way, it will think it's another Mac.
    You can also simply drag and drop files into a same named account on the new machine manually from the clone.
    It should take about a hour per 250GB to clone, about another hour for Setup Assistant.
    Over wireless it could take a eternity.
