Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

  • Why is my new macbook pro running slow?

    I bought a new macbook pro in october 2012. It has always run very fast without a problem.
    Yesterday i noticed when i opened up apps the app symbol would bounce in the dock for a good 20 - 30 seconds and i would get the spinning beachball icon. I have repaired disk and disk permissions but this has not helped. I havnt downloaded any new apps or anything and my virus software says there is no virus.
    Please help???????

  • Why does the new MacBook Pro 13 no longer come with a graphics card?

    Why does the new MacBook Pro no longer come with a graphics card?  Or at least make it so you can opt for one.

    I know how you feel. Your MacBook Pro has integrated graphics 384 MB or 512 MB. If you are a gamer, creative professional or just want more VRAM get a 15 inch MacBook Pro with up to 1 gig of VRAM or a windows gaming laptop with up to 16 gigs of VRAM (a ridiculous amount!). If you get a windows pc, you can always install virtual box. There is no point in buying a 13 inch MacBook Pro unless you need a lightweight laptop with all of the extra "goodies". There is also no possible way to change the graphics unless you know how to "unhook" the card from the processor and install a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Why is my new macbook Pro 2012 running slow

    I bought my Macbook pro a couple days ago, I have made all the updates to it and is now freezing and showing the pinwheel all the time. I ran this computer side by side with my old 2011 macbook pro and this "new" one is running much slower.
    Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?
    Thanks for your time and help.

  • ITunes downloads fast on old Mac mini but slow on brand new Macbook Pro on the same WiFi network?

    Hi all,
    I have an old Mac mini that's from around 2008 and runs on Snow Leopard. I also have a brand new Macbook Pro with retina display that's running Mountain Lion. Both running iTunes 10.6.3.
    I never noticed anything wrong with my MBP's connection speed until last night when I downloaded a free TV episode from iTunes. The download speed varied between 20KB/s and 40KB/s and it took me 7 to 8 hours to download a single episode. I checked my internet connection but there was nothing wrong with it, SpeedTest.net told me I had a download speed of 94MB/s and upload speed of 80MB/s, it was only iTunes that was unbearably slow.
    Today I was browsing iTunes again and was planning to buy some movies, but again it took forever for the trailers to download. So I fired up my Mac mini just to see if it would be just as slow. Turned out my Mac mini could download the same trailers from iTunes at a much higher speed than my MBP (around 3MB/s on the ones I tested).
    So what gives? They are on the same Wifi network provided by an Airport Extreme, and although my iPhone and iPad are also connected to it, no one else is doing any heavy duty downloading.
    Thanks in advance!

  • New MacBook Pro is slow?

    My new MacBook Pro is very slow. It has the most advanced hardware so it should be faster. If it goes down to "rest mood" where the screen goes black it takes more than a minute to get back again. The computer is less than two months old.
    What am I doing wrong? I have nearly nothing stored on the computer and no heavy programs at all so far.
    Thanks

    Time for a trip to the Apple store genius bar.  Your MBP is still under warranty and should be FAST!
    Ciao.

  • New Macbook Pro running slow?

    I just got a brand new Macbook pro little over a month ago and it has been working great. I installed OS X Lion a day after the initial release date and have been thrilled with it so far. It was able to load 1080p HD YouTube videos great, which my old desktop PC would never have been able to do, but within the last week I haven't even been able to load 360p videos without pausing and letting it buffer for a minute or so before watching something. The internet is fine. The signal is strong and the speed hasn't changed on any other internet device in the house. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Any suggestions? Let me know if you need more info.
    Thanks

    usuallly sometimes when many people are using the internet in the house then the internet starts to get slower even when it shows full connection. and if you download too many things then the mac starts to get slow. try doing these things when no one else is using the internet connection

  • Why is my new macbook pro retina kinda choppy when scrolling safari/etc.?

    why is it that the new macbook pro retina I bought doesn't seem to be scrolling as smoothly as you would think?  Scrolling in safari seems just a bit laggy.  Is this a software issue?  It does this both with the hd400 and 650m.  Hopefully this is a software issue and not the GPU strugging to drive the massive resolution of this display.  I have the 2.6ghz/ mid level config.

    Which resolution are you on?
    I notice when scaled to say 1920x1200, the whole system becomes slightly more laggy, not just Safari. But I think that's because there's also a screen smoothing process just before the images gets shown onscreen otherwise everything would be chunky and jagged.
    I'm on unscaled 2880x1440 retina mode and Safari is super smooth scrolling... not sure whats going on with your computer.
    Do you have any junk apps or processes running in the background by any chance?
    My MBPR is the baseline model with only 8GB ram, OS X 10.8.1 and Safari 6.0 8536.25.

  • Why is my new Macbook pro not reading my iphone 3GS device but my Windows desktop does not seem to have this problem?

    Whenever I plug my iphone 3GS into my windows PC I have no problem syncing and backing up my apps etc but whenever I plug it into my new macbook pro, it simply cannot read my device at all and everything is fully updated. Help please. Thank you

    I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
    If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
    Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

  • Why is my new Macbook Pro retina overheating? problems with new update

    Hello everyone i know this question has been asked but with the new updates and all i bought a brand new macbook pro 13 inch retina and i had it only for 3 days and its over heating like crazy i just do google searches and youtube thats it! and i feel the top of my keyboard so hot! and sometimes safari lags a whole bunch it usually freezes or doesnt load or the the page freezes when try to swip back on the pad.
    everything esle works fine its just safari
    is it the latest update or is it my mac?
    any advice or tips please

    Watching YouTube videos can really heat up your computer - that's just a given that everyone experiences. If I do nothing but watch YouTube videos, my MacBook Pro really heats up and the fans go up almost beyond the supposed 'high' of the fans (6202rpms).
    You have 14 days in which you can return the machine you purchased for another machine or a full refund. Since you've some time left, I would first download and install iStat Menus 4 for the trial period so you can let us know what your actual temps are and how fast your fan is running. Post that information and we'll be able to tell you if you're in 'normal' operating range.
    Call back,

  • New Macbook pro is slowing down.any ideas why?

    Hi There,
    I bought a macbook pro last July and in the last week I have noticed it slowing down, loading webpages takes longer etc.... I updated to yosemite recently but I am not sure that is the issue. Could it be something to do with cache, someone was trying to download movies on it so maybe I have a small virus?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Read my earlier reply about virus.
    You can forget about virus
    You don't have one
    I suggest you download and install EtreCheck from http://etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • NEW macbook pro running slow ~ i hate the rainbow pinwheel

    i have a two-week old MacBook Pro.
    it has been running slow ever since I got it.
    the apple genius bar guy pulled up my activity monitor and said it was normal.
    how can a constant rainbow pinwheel be normal???
    because i use it for business, i had to download Outlook and now i can barely get anything to run without the stupid rainbow pinwheel.
    it has 4GB or memory.  do I need to add another 4GB or is there something else I can do?
    i can't believe how this "powerful machine" feels like i'm trudging in the mud.
    thanks for your help.

    Ok, so I'm pretty new to this and want to make sure I answer each of your questions.
    Right now, my computer is behaving (of course)... so I might need to do this again when I've got a pinwheel or beach ball or whatever they call that spinning rainbow torture device.  So, the numbers below reflect my computer without the pinwheel (probably not helpful for troubleshooting)....
    What is it, and what is the process? ~ Outlook 20.6%
    Also post the values for % User, 4.89%
    % System, and 8.13%
    % Idle at the bottom of the window. 85.03%
    What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs ~ 443.7
    and Swap used? 183.7

  • Why does my 2012 macbook pro become slow sometimes?

    I've purchased my 2012 4gb ram Macbook ram w/ 500 gb hard drive around September. It started off extremely fast the first 4 months (when I had mavericks), but there we're problems with the Video playback towards the last 4 months (It would Freeze and unfreeze & the the audio-video sync would be way off after 30 mins of netflix, which would cause the whole computer to slow down). So, I installed the Yosemite update, which made it even worse to the point where my macbook was unusable. With yosemite, I'd have an average of 500mb ram free memory available, sometimes even lower. Now, I did a manual restore to OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, and I see the major difference in speed.  I could use safari now & get an average of 1.47 gb of free ram available (with just the safari application open). Now, the video playback issue still occurs sometimes & having about 4 programs open does make the computer slower than usual, but not as often. I'm hoping this is just a ram issue, becuase I'm expecting on upgrading my ram to a 16gb ram or higher while still on Mountain Lion just to be able to run Logic Pro & Adobe Premiere in the near future. If its not a ram issue which is causing this problem on my macbook, I'd be ****** because I'd be spending almost $200 on a ram upgrade and it not resolving this issue would kill me. Could someone help? Ill even take a Diagnose test like Etrecheck if you need me to. Thanks.
