Why is my Mac book pro so slow on mountain lion?
I installed the new OS when it was released. Now all my applications are slow to process, I have to wait minutes for web pages to load. This has to be the worst release of an apple OS to date.
How do I get back to Lion?

I have mac book pro and recently bought mountain lion online, i then used bootcamp to upload windows 7 now i have no sound when i use windows what can i do to get sound.
Install the required Windows drivers: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033. Download this link preferably from Windows. Otherwise, download onto a FAT formatted USB disk from which you can copy to your Windows system.

How can I Upload Pictures, from my Mac Book Pro Retina Display with Mountain Lion OS? Tried but it gets as far as i pictures but does not open?
This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there. -

Why is my Mac Book Pro so slow?
Hi my Mac Book Pro is running really slow. It takes ages to perform simple tasks such as opening apps and doing basic jobs. I have run a check on the computer using Etresoft and the results are pasted below. Can anyone see anything wrong or have any suggestions? I have run Disk Utility and all fine. I have also cleared out loads of files on the hard drive and moved to a external one. Thanks.

Hi, I have a Mac book Pro 9,2 with Mountain Lion.
I need help: I followed the instruction on how to restore to factory settings. But after I erased the macintosh hd file I tried to reinstall OS X with mountain lion the interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish. Now that I tried again I only get a file folder with a question mark what can I do now.
interenet wasn't working properly and i couldn't finish
Try restarting while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the startup manager window where you can select the startup disk and reboot.
Then try reformatting (erase) using OS X Recovery About OS X Recovery
Keep in mind, Apple does recommend a high speed broadband internet connection for OS X Recovery. A slow connection may time out before recovery is finished. -
Why is my mac book pro very sluggish in opening windows/color wheel
why does my Mac Book Pro acting slow when ever I'm working in multiple windows, going back and forth,
it take for ever to open up load the pages, and there is a rainbow color wheel spinning, not sure what is going on with it.
please help, and my 3 year warrant has just expired. please help.Check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Click the Apple menu icon top left corner in your Desktop. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available storage space.

Why is my mac book pro mid 2010 so slow? How do I restore it to the speed it was when I first purchased it?
To repair any hardware damage would require opening the phone up.
Software, put the handset into DFU mode and try that, it's a basic operating system on the phone that does nothing other than process the firmware upgrade request -
My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect to the net
My Mac Book Pro is slow and at times I have to reboot to connect the net. Also wondering how do I check if my software is up to date? Thank you.
To check to see if your software is up to date, go to >Software Update and you can check for updates.
No idea why your Mac is slow--there could be a variety of things that could cause slowness. A good start would be to see if all your RAM is recognized. >About this Mac will show you how much RAM you have. You can also open Activity Monitor and check your RAM usage.
Also, how full is your hard drive? You should have a minimum of 10% free space for the OS to operate properly, and 15% to 20% is better.
No idea why you have to reboot to connect to the internet, but it could be related to the slowness. Rebooting will free up RAM among other things.

My Mac Book Pro has slowed to less than a crawl (possibly from a worm or virus). How do I make sure it's running at peak efficiency before I complain to comcast
Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart the router and the broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or the computer's firmware. Any change?
If possible, connect to the router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
If you're running a MacBook with the lid closed, open the lid. Any difference?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference? -
Why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting

It would be nice if you could include a kernel panic log to verify that your problem is...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff
dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000->0x8378dfff
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
