Why is my Macbook Pro running so slow when returning from sleep mode?

I got my new Macbook this past Christmas so it is about two months old. I have the 13" Macbook with the standard 4GB of RAM (not sure if that matters), but when I got my mac I downloaded a bunch of games and such which may have slowed it down initially, though I have downloaded OnyX and Appzapper to uninstall apps and clean my computer. Also I have deleted EVERYTHING from "Login Items" which I thought might help. Basically whenever I am done using my computer I just shut the screen, I don't shut it down or actually click "Sleep Mode" so I'm not sure if shutting the screen puts it in "Sleep Mode," but whenever I open my computer back up I get that spinning loading icon when I click on anything on my desktop and it usually takes 5-10 minutes of this super slow loading before I can actually use my computer. Not sure what the deal is but it is clearly super annoying and I'm hoping to find out how to get around this. I have six 2GB sticks of RAM that I am hoping to trade for two 4GB sticks of RAM to speed up my computer but I am not sure if that would even fix my problem. This is my first Macbook, besides my mothers Mac desktop that I have been using for years throughout High School, but I am a windows guy. I consider myself pretty good with computers, not an expert but I can fix 95% of the problems I encounter, but this one has been stumping me! Thanks a million in advance!

Hello Linc -
I hope you don't mind but I have a similar issue. Might I be able to enlist your assistance with this issue? I've done as you said, and I have copied the approximate range of messages during my most recent incident. What I'm noticing is that my Mac is staying busy even while asleep. I'm concerned about this behavior, hoping you might be able to help debug the situation and set me on a good path to resolution.
Here's my data (I don't know for certain that I grabbed the proper amount or range of data, but hoping this will help):

HT1338 Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8.

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow after installing Mountain Lion 10.8. I have restarted, created more free space on my hard drive and run disk utilities. Simple operations result 20 seconds or more of the spinning wheel. Some are so slow that the operation does not happen at all. Itunes music cuts out during operations.

Check out this article by Thomas Reed for help http://www.reedcorner.net/understanding-upgrade-nightmares/. Also, make sure all apps are compatible with Mountain Lion using www.roaringapps.com. Do you have any antivirus installed? Make sure all apps are updated as well.

Write off the MS stuff as indicators for now--starting with Office 2008, they developed very long launch times. The time to launch 2008 on my old 1.25Ghz G4 and my MBP 2.2G are virtually the same. Even document opens/saves are slow compared to Office 2004 and earlier.
1) You have adequate hard drive space so that eliminates one of the usual suspects.
2) Check for runaway background processes. Quit all running user applications so the computer is at normal idle. Find Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and launch it. If you've not run it before, change the "Show" pulldown at the top of the AM window from its default of "User Processes" to "All Processes." There is a column for "%CPU." Click that column header to sort by CPU usage. Watch the processes "bubble" for about a minute to get a better picture of the usage.
If any process is using more than about 25 percent of the CPU cycles while the computer is idling, post the names of the processes and we can see if they can be eliminated. My MBP shows nothing using more that about 5 percent on any given test run as long as I close all my user apps.
3) If you have never done any sort of maintenance procedures, taht can slow you down. Simply restarting the computer a few times a week clear a lot of temporary files. You also may wish to review this article on the Mac OSX periodic maintenance scripts, which, if run, also do a lot of cleanup:

There are other useful articles on file maintenance associated with the one. Here's the index:

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
Cheers,
James
nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

James
I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

Mid-2012 macbook pro gets kernel panics when waking from sleep

Hi all,
I got a new mid-2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (10.7.5) at the end of Oct which started kernel panicking pretty much from day one. The kernel panics only occur when the computer is put to sleep and reawaken after more than an hour or so has passed. I get a grey screen that eventually shows text like "Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Please wait a few seconds or press any key to continue" and then the OS boots up again. Bizarrely, this doesn't usually happen if the computer has only been asleep for a short time - i.e. 15 min or less.
Below is the kernel panic log, which seems to suggest there's an issue with the Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Advice is much appreciated.

Macbook Pro (2012) won't wake up from sleep mode

Hi,
When I purchased the Macbook it came with Mountain Lion. It worked fine. Then I updated to Maverick and lots of problems happened. The most annoying one is the wake up thing. I was glad to update to Yosemite thinking that it would resolve my problems. Nope. It still wake up very slowly from sleep mode, sometimes not at all -- I have to shut it down.
I don't know what to do.
(BTW, I tried every trick suggested on the Apple support page: SMC, PRAM...)
Help !
Thank you

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow?

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in September 2012, and it has been running absolutely fine until last week. I left it on for an hour while I went out, and when I came back it was suddenly running really slow (couldn't get rid of the spinning beach ball of death). I thought maybe it was because it needed updating, so I attempted to do this. However, it didn't do it properly. Not quite sure what happened but then it wouldn't even get past the startup screen. I know it's my own stupid fault that all this has happened, I kept ignoring the 'updates available' banner. Anyway, I googled what to do and got so impatient, I tried resetting the PRAM, verifying disk permissions, fsck, checked activity monitor etc. Nothing was wrong or out of the ordinary. I reinstalled OS X, took 24 hours but for some reason still wasn't working. So I tried it again, still didn't fix it and was stuck on the startup screen. Not quite sure what happened but then it eventually came on, although sadly somewhere along the way I had completely wiped my hard drive. Again, I was stupid for not backing up my data, and should have just left everything to the experts rather than being so impatient. After all of that, I've installed mavericks but it is still no better. It is just as slow as when it first started playing up, although at least it is actually functioning on some level now. I've accepted that I'm never getting my data back (unless anyone can tell me if there's a way?), but I'm baffled as to why it still isn't working properly, and I have lost everything for no reason. Please can someone help me as I am ready for throwing my laptop at someone or something.

chunk1234,
if your lost data is of considerable value to you, then you could try hiring a data recovery service, but their time is expensive. If you wish to go down that route, cleanly shut down your MacBook Pro, and don’t turn it on again until after the data recovery service has returned it to you — every time you do something on your hard drive, you make it more difficult for data recovery to succeed.
You might want to buy an external hard drive for use as a Time Machine backup destination, so that this situation doesn’t happen again — restoring from your last backup is far, far cheaper than hiring a data recovery service.
Regarding your current slowdown, have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

Why is my Macbook Pro Running So Slow. I have the i7 2.8 GHz. I Have the Late 2011 version. I Have 4GB Of Ram. Help!

I have a 2.8 GHz Macbook Pro with 4GB of Ram and also it's the Late 2011 version. It's also a i7. ALSO IT HAS 750GB, Why is my Mac Running SLOW!!!!!!!!

Frankly, I was dissapointed when I got my MBP last year. Moving from a single core, windows laptop with 2GB of Ram and an IDE HD, I expected better performance from my new 2.2Ghz i7 quad core, 4GB RAM MBP. I got the hi-res antiglare upgrade because more screen real estate is always good. I do a bit of multimedia work so I upgraded the HD as well to the 750GB 7200 RPM option.
I fired up my new mac, downloaded updates, loaded up my software and was off to fresh new beginnings. During the first week I started seeing the "spinning umbrella" Even during simple tasks. With only a few apps open the system was sluggish. Even the dock would jitter. Being a bit tech savy I opened up the activity monitor and saw that the system was running low on RAM. Who would have thought that 4GB of RAM would not be enough? My previous machine had 2GB of RAM and did the same tasks quite reasonably. Anyone would have concluded that a machine with double that would perform better. Aparrently not. At least not this MBP. I was so upset because I just spent about 2000 USD for the "best laptop we've build to date" WITH UPGRADES! and I'm going to have to spend more to upgrade the RAM.
Anyway I upgraded to 8GB of RAM and runs reall really smooth now.
My suggestion if your MBP is running slow, is to upgrade your RAM to 8GB or more. Check out the guys at Other World Computing, they have lots of upgrades for macs.
Here is a link http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade
The hard truth cut through all the marketing and hit me. I'll say it this way; a computer is a computer, is a computer. Forget all the hype. With the same specs, a mac gives just sbout the same performance as a PC. That said, I really love my MBP(now that I have 8GB of RAM). This mac gives me the best computing experience I have ever had. Apple really shines in their User interface and user experience. I really love the gestures and hot corners, and mission control. I usually have a lot of apps open the same time, so those features really help in switching between my apps.
I'm going to further upgrade my RAM to 16GB and upgrade the HDD to an SSD pretty soon. I want my machine to be really snappy.
I hope this was helpful.

Why is my MacBook Pro running so slow?   Lots of spinning pinwheels.

Why is my MacBook Pro running extremely slow?

Hello,
I am currently using Photoshop to batch a series of images.. Normally this would take less than 5 minutes for 100+ photos, however it has taken over two hours for just 40 photos.
The photos are still JPEG at a medium size. I don't understand why laptop is running so slow!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Why is my macbook pro running so slow and so slow to reboot?

Hello,
I edit using Lightroom and Photoshop and I'm having an issue while editing. After editing around 8-10 photos in Photoshop the computer starts running unbelievably slow. After each 8-10 photos I have to close down everything and reboot. Even the reboot process is super slow as I have to force quit each application usually 1-2 times to get it to close. Is this normal? I have a 2011 17" with 2.2 GHZ i7 with 8GB ram. Is there any setting that I can change or be aware of.
Thanks,
Jack Fussell

If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step. Launch the Console application in the same way as above, and select “system.log” from the file list. Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.
Step 3
Same as step 2, but select "kernel.log" from the file list.

My Macbook Pro runs VERY slow when unplugged. The battery charges and runs ok. Ran an SMC reset (no success), Safe mode (did not work), and hardware check (came back ok). What can I try next to fix this?

Hello all,
I am new to posting on this forum but I really hope that someone out there can help me out. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OSX 10.6.8. My problem is that when I unplug the laptop form the charger and run it on the battery, the computer becomes unresponsive to any commands at all. It basically really slows down to a crawl. Even when rebooting it will take 5-10 minutes or more to do so. The odd thing is, when it gets plugged back in while any of this is going on, within a minute or two it works perfectly. It has been in a mac authorized repair shop for 7 weeks and has had a new logic board and a new hard drive replaced. The battery was tested and charges fine, holds a charge when unplugged, and the system profile shows the battery at Normal. Recently, many knowledgeable mac enthusiasts gave me tip that might help. Here is what I did: Ran an SMC reboot (no success), rebooted the computer under safe mode then unplugged it to test (no success), and ran a hardware test on the install disk (showed hardware ok)
I am at a loss as to what to do next. It has become impossible to use this laptop for my classes when it is unplugged. I am about ready to just go buy a new one, and call this one a goner.
I am hoping someone reading this can help with any other ideas on its problem. Help? Anyone?
Steve

LPBassman,
since the tech in your IT department was able to copy your daughter’s data from her MacBook Pro’s internal disk, I’d suggest completely erasing the internal disk (using Disk Utility in Recovery mode, reformatting it with a “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” filesystem), reïnstalling its original version of Mac OS X (either Snow Leopard from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD if it originally came with two grey DVDs, or Lion via OS X Internet Recovery if no grey DVDs originally came with it), running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8 or 10.7.5 respectively, reïnstalling Mavericks, running Software Update again to get it up to date, and finally restoring your daughter’s data.

MacBook Pro run very slow when open Contacts

My MacBook Pro (earlie 2011) run very slow. When open Contacs show the color ball. I can't see duplicates contacs.

Back up all data.
1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.
