Wi Fi slow down on Mac Book Pro
I have had excellent wireless service in my home for the past year. I recently downloaded the most recent OSX 10.95 and the connection is incredibly slow. I had ATT come to my home and they replaced the modem and this hasn't fixed the problem. I am a novice. Any suggestions please
The channels were assigned for 2.4GHz band when 11 Mbits/sec was as fast as anyone thought would be necessary. If you use 802.11n, there are at most three clear channels available (centered at 1, 6, and 11), and you have four networks visible. This frequency band also is used by baby monitors, microwave ovens, and bluetooth (but a different modulation technique).
RSSI of -41 is excellent for receive power. Transmit rate of 145Mbits/sec is really good for that band. You should not be having problems at that power and that transmit speed. But if you are not using Bluetooth, be sure to turn it off.
One way to make sure you do not have old settings being carried forward from old setups is to use:
System preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > ( Assist me ) > ( Assistant ) ...
... to set it up again from scratch, including a new "Location" with a distinctive name that says "home" to you. You want to walk away from "Automatic" or anything you set up before and start fresh. After answering the questions, you may have to click (Apply) and wait a quarter minute for results. If no joy after that try a Restart.
If you go to Starbux and it does not work there, create a new "Location" just for there, and so on. Each basket of settings will be re-established when you choose a different "Location".

Hey rudreshchoubey,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide

If Windows doesn’t install properly
Verify that you’re using an original, full version of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen. Insert the Windows installation disc into the optical drive or insert the USB flash drive with Windows into a USB port on your Mac. Select the Windows installation disk icon, then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or reinstall Windows.
Thanks,

i'm downloading the OS X Mavericks then in the process of downloading till 4.20GB it stops and shut down my Mac Book Pro and automatically restarted. Any answers for this?
The download is over 5GB's so yours is incomplete.
You should be able to resume the download (instead of starting over) at the App Store. -
Really slow rendering on Mac Book Pro Retina
Hi
I am using adobe premiere on a mac book pro retina and the renders are reallyyy reallyyy slow. Usually takes 30 mins for a 2 mins timeline to render.
Iv also tried rendering the same timeline on a windows machine and it takes 5 mins ( 1/6th ) for the same render.
Please provide me a solution ASAP since its eating my production time.
Thanks
ShivangHello, since you jumped on to the previous thread I can copy you in on my query ..
This question seems to have been posted before..
I came from Windows land and have used Premiere since '97..
"Let's try a super spec Macbook and have a mobile editing suite.. Great!"
I generally work with DSLR footage, H264 codec and .wav files.
Imports and scrubbing is great, applying effects starts it slowing down and I'll adjust playback to 1/2 or 1/4 resolution.
And that's just on one layer of video..
Now, when it comes to exporting in general, a 50 second clip takes over 30 minutes to render.
Very frustrating..
I mainly export using the existing presets for YoutubeHD and VimeoHD.
Can't get my head around why it takes so long and I am hoping that perhaps a re-install or a fundamental preference setting will solve it.
In my preferences, I've allocated 11GB of memory to Adobe Production Suite applications and I rarely run 2 at a time.
Scratch disks are set to project folders, on a 4GB RAID1 drive connected via Thunderbolt protocol
Tech specs :
Processor - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Storage - SSD 500GB
OS - OS X, v10.8.3
I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you in advance -

Suddenly Shut Down my mac book pro, late 2011
Hello guys, i need your help.
Last 2 weeks, suddenly my macbookpro shut down, and it makes me shock.
After a few second shut down, i try to turn it on.
it just make sound like turn on your mac and suddenly shut down again.
It shut down for 3 times and more.
When i plug in the charger, it turn on.
But after i unplug the charger it suddenly shut down again.
i try to shut down my mac properly, and when i turn on again it works.
My friends say that it could be my battery, i checked it, and my battery was normal.
And i search about this issue, some people say to reset SMC, i dont know if it would works or not.
Did reset SMC will makes you lose you data or something?
Now, i must plug the charger when i want to turn on my mac.
Did this a serious problem or not? i need you advice guys.
Thanks!No data is lost due to resetting the SMC.
But after i unplug the charger it suddently shut down again
The problem may be the adapter. Try here > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

Way the Maverick upgrade works slow in my mac book pro 2011?
I just install e new OSX, and my macbook pro work slow. And doesn't the same with mountai lion.
Hi,
What are your Mac's specs, ie RAM, hard drive size, video memory, etc...? If you MacBook Pro is brand-new, frankly, don't bother installing Windows on a separate partition: install VirtualBox, create a sizeable (as in, 20 to 30Gb) virtual hard drive, then install Windows on it.
The pros? You can use your copy of Windows as if it were installed on a separate partition, without the hassle of partitioning. You can even switch from OS X to Windows without having to reboot.
The cons? Windows won't feel as responsive as it would on its own partition (though from what I hear about Boot Camp, even that is debatable...), and you'd rather have a solid amount of RAM, empty disk space (for swapping) and video memory if you want to enjoy the experience.
Up to you, but worth a try... -
I cannot shut down my Mac Book Pro
Lately whenever, I try to shut down my MBP (properly from the menu) the shut down process starts, until nothing is left but the wallpaper and then... nothing. Long minutes go by and the shut down is not complete.
I make sure to shut down all applications individually before attempting shut down of the OS.
In the end, I just hold down the power button. But this is not a one-time occurrence. This happens repeatedly.
I should point out that I have recently also experienced situations in which the machine heats up to 80, 90, even 100 degrees. I am not sure why. It might have something to do with the fact that I try to browse my Time Capsule and... nothing. The Finder window tells me it is trying to connect and never does. Maybe this leads to the heating. I'm not sure.
Either way, what should I do to try and pinpoint the source of the problem?
Thank you...Have a look at this article, let us know how you get on.

Any advice?
Hi, I tried your advice and it tells me the external drive is ok, and the ERASE section is grey, probably because I encrypted the disk!?!
Still the same issue: every time I enter my password to access the external hard drive, it restarts the macbook and I get a screen that says: the computer restarted because of a problem... so frustrating!
Any other ideas? -
MAC BOOK PRO WILL NOT START- COMPLETELY DEAD!
I forgot to power down my mac book pro last night. I closed the lid & forgot to go back & turn it off completely. This morning it will not power up. The machine is completely dead.
The power supply wasn't connected overnight so I assume the battery has completely drained. It's been charging for the last 2 hours (which would normally have fully charged it) but the light on the power cord is still showing green so I assume it's still charging, however there should be plenty of juice in the battery to start the computer but it still won't start.
Any ideas how to get it started?A dead battery will take longer to start charging, but leave it on and eventually it will start to charge again.
Once you get it charged, perform a SMC and PRAM reset

Je n'arrive plus à éteindre le mac book pro, il re-démarre chaque fois

Merci d'avanceGoogle translate says:

Thank you in advance -
how can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.
try this;
open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found. might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
also check your hard drive space. if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
good luck -
Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
thanksNot directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
