When my Mac battery dies and I turn it back on, it always crashes on the grey screen with the progress bar, then it restarts (taking forever) and does not remember any of the programs I was running. MacBook Pro 13 inch running Mavericks

My macbook pro has started running slowly! Any ideas?
My macbook pro has started running slowly. Particularly the internet (firefox and safari). I have tried repairing the disk / verifying the disk and the permissions via Disk Utility, and have also tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, and updating the software (all up to date). None of this has helped.
The old Dell laptop we have is running faster than my mac!
I also have Parallels Desktop Installed with Windows 7, although this has never caused a problem in the past...
I am running with Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8, processor 2.66Ghz Intel Core Duo, and 4GB memory (it's normally lightning fast!).
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks.This is a known problem with Parallels and the recent update for 10.6.8. You do not need to actually have Parallels running to experience the problem and there is nothing in Activity Monitor that would indicate the issue is related to Parallels. You can find the explanation on Parallels site. They have put out an update to correct the problem:

Help! Why is my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) running slow?
I was reading previous posts and everything pointed to running and EtreCheck and posting the information. Below you will see the report that generated. Hopefully something will be found to help remedy the issue.

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Help please, my macbook pro suddently started running slowly.
Hello,
Could someone help me please? since last week my macbook suddently started to run really slowly.
It looks like the RAM is constantly in use. no free RAM. I allready did a pRAM reset.
It's almost impossible to use safari. this website is still okay, but if i open for example facebook or youtube it is to much and i get the following message:
"Your mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.
To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. closing windows and removing files from you startup disk will also help."
This is strange because i have like 130GB free space on my HD. and im only running safari.
Any help would be really appriceated!Hmm looks like i was cheering a little bit too early.
It's a little bit better but still running slowly.
This is comming up in my Console, All Message tab:
I cant upload it now. the button is not hilighted. i will try to restart safari or reboot. and post the screenshot.
Here is a new read out from the etrecheck. still having a lot of pageouts:

Why does my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 only charge to 97%?
Whenever my macbook pro is plugged in on max battery (The power cable sign on the battery icon), it displays as only 97%. Anyone have an idea why?
You should see it read 100%, but when it reaches that level, the power adapter does provide electricity to operate the MBP but no longer charges the battery.
Thus the battery then starts to slowly discharge till it drops to the 95%/94% level (until that point, it will say 'Charged' on the battery menu bar icon drop down menu) and then it will be charged again by the power adapter until it reaches 100% again.
So long as you keep the power adapter connected, this cycle will be repeated. This is normal operation.
Ciao. -
Happens when i reposition the macbook. Also occurs when i apply slight pressure to case (wresting my wrists on it), but doesn't require it to happen. 2011 Thunderbolt 15" macbook pro - stock.
Check if an AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider) is closer, as some do not trust Geek Squad to diagnose something as simple as "all the keys are missing". But judge for yourself.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

Brand new mid-2012 Macbook Pro w/ Mavericks running slowly?
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone had an idea of why a brand new Pro would be frustratingly slow in starting up apps and reacting in general. If it's relevant I imported everything on this thing from my old 2007 Macbook running Lion. Activity Monitor consistently shows nearly 4GB (of 4GB) memory used but I'm told this is normal for Mavericks. Memory pressure seems to be okay (I've only ever seen it take up about a third-to-a half and be green - not sure what else it might look like). Other stats (which tbh I don't understand) in the memory tab are virtual memory 6.59GB, app memory 2.09GB, file cache 230MB, wired memory 650MB, compressed 1.03GB. CPU load is consistently less than 10% for user & system combined.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!If it's an Apple refurb, the warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
It is always very hot when I touch it.
Sometimes it stucked for several seconds.You're fine then....
When I'm using my Macbook it sometimes go up to 60 - 65 C when i'm just browsing and have nothing else open.......
Just check on our activity monitor once in a while when it reaches 80 C and hit quit process on the offending app.
Also check your login items - maybe something is running when your startup your Macbook.....If you see something there and have no need for it to start up, you can safely delete it...
good luck.. -
I noticed that since Macbooks.. macs in general use an EFI instead of BIOS. . .. Now i need to allocate some more RAM for the onboard video card since its currently running with an estimated 50mb.. I would like to increase this to 512 and cut the 3.95 down to 3.5 MB for the rest of the system ( allowing me to run more graphic intensive games and the such ... ) I know this could slow down the entire system.. ( i am aware of this ) and have gotten a 3rd party application to control and close out uneeded processes during gaming.. I just need more ram for my onboard video card.. Any help?
You don't allocate more RAM towards your video card, you put more RAM into the machine and hopefully some machines will bump the CPU graphics RAM allocation up a little.
The problem is you bought a integrated only graphics computer, if you want to 3D game you need a dedicated graphics computer with it's own or dedicated VRAM.
If your this serious about 3D gaming, your on the wrong platform.
Get a Windows 7 64bit i7 8GB RAM expandable 3D gaming tower with a good power supply and video card upgrade path, this way every few years you buy and stick in a new video card to play the latest games.
Mac's are not gaming machines and never will be because they would last too long if we could upgrade them.

Why is my Macbook Pro 2011 13' i5 reaching 90 degrees playing World of Warcraft low setting?
It's really frustrating! I have tried to tweek the fans but that didnt work, i have previously used a friends notebook to play with **** of a less features that the macbook has. I got it today too.
What is your question? If you want to rant, please do it elsewhere.
The fact is 90ºF is not an issue. Of course, 90ºC would be near the upper temperature limit. The fans should kick on, and if not, get SMCFan to dial it in.
You really should search this board for answers to your question before complaining rudely about an issue that is well known and that can be easily overcome. -
Can the current Macbook Pro 13 inch run Color?
Under Minimum Requirements, it says it needs a bigger display. Can it still run, even if it is a little small, or will it refuse to run altogether?
Double click on the screen icon and find out!
I doubt it, though. The minimums are pretty hard-and-fast, mostly because the UI is absolutely inflexible. There are hacks for re-setting the minimums at an OS level, but the results are unpredictable and usually result in an unusable install. Mostly because users can't read the tiny print on the buttons.

Macbook pro 2011 early cannot find right resolution for external display and keeps flickering
I have a macbook pro 2011 early running 10.9, and a LG FLATRON W2242T external screen. Also, I have a VGA to miniport from Apple and a VGA to HDMI, plus a HDMI to miniport(from Apple). By just connect with VGA to miniport to my MBP, it just flickers few times and stops detecting. But by connect VGA to HDMI converter and HDMI to miniport to my MBP, it keeps flickering, a non-stop flickering. The external screen always shows no signal. However, if I connect my MBP to my TV through HDMI to miniport, it works fine. But connecting the VGA port to my TV, it gets the same problem. I have tried clear my PRAM many times, and it gets the same result. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks
