Windows 7 freezes on files copy operation on Macbook Pro 15" 2013 Late

Hi,
I use Windows installed via BootCamp on my Macbook Pro 15" 2013 Late with 512GB SSD. I installed all Apple drivers, but my laptop freezes(all windows stop responding) on a copy a lot of small files from one folder to another. After 2-5 min windows start responding again. I use Windows 7 with all upgrades.
SSD works good in Mac OS.
Seems Apple SSD drives in not work correctly under Windows.
Please help!

I have exactly the same Macbook Pro as yours but mine has the matte screen. I bought mine in September 2006 but it is classed by Apple as the 'early 2006' Macbook Pro because they released the 'late 2006' Macbook Pro in October 2006, a few weeks after I bought mine :@. As I said in my post, http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307301&tstart=0 , Windows 7 is working fine on my Macbook Pro, so it should work on yours. Good luck!

Finder Consumes 90% CPU at file copy operation

I am trying to copy a large number of files (over 100,000) in a bunch of folders, from internal HDD to external USB one. The files are mostly images. Finder starts at a canter, with about 20 Mb/sec copy speed, and only around 5% CPU usage (NOTE - I have disabled "show icons preview" option in FInder, which is a common CPU hog in multiple image files copy operations)
After a while the CPU usage goes up to 80-90%, and the file copy operation slows down to 1-2 Mb/Sec.
I am at a loss as to what might be causing it! Any suggestions?

files are relatively small - from 100 kb to 3-5 Mb each, and the issue is - the slowdown occurs quite some time after the beginning of the file copy operation - for several minutes it goes OK, with Finder consuming only below 10% CPU, and copy speed 20Mb/sec. It is only AFTER SOME TIME that the issue starts to happen - and the files being copied are THE SAME TYPE FILES. and suddenly the speed drops to 1-2 Mb/sec, and CPU usage jumps up. The result - it takes ages to copy and overloads CPU.
So it must be a bug somewhere.
I cannot use Firewire, since the external drive is USB 2.0 which when it works as its supposed to (transfer speed 20-30 Mb/sec) is quite acceptable to me.
Surely I am trying to copy smaller batches of files - but that is a workaround, not a solution!

Transferred files to a new MacBook Pro, but I don't see my old iPhoto library!!

I recently transferred all my files from my 2008 MacBook Pro 15" to my new 2010 MacBook Pro 15" (with a firewire). As far as I can see everything has transferred, except for my iPhoto library. When I tried to look for a photo it was completely blank and iPhoto asked if I wanted to create a new library. I also have a Time Capsule which all my files from my 2008 MBP should be backed up on, but I can not find them!! I'm seriously going to cry if I lost the last 5 years of my photos and videos!! PLEASE HELP!!
THANK YOU!!

Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto". It's a file that exists in every iPhoto library regardless of what the library has been named. If you find more than one you can open them to see if the other library has your photos.
If there is only one library make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

Ah then that is the issue.
1. Is Pages registered? It turns into a demo version after 3months otherwise.
2. This makes it interesting as to what happens if it has, because a demo version can't/won't save and I'm curious if this causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
3. There may actually be a problem with one of the documents which again causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
4. You are entitled to AppleCare telephone support to try ands resolve this in detail which is difficult to do without seeing what is actually going on because there are multiple files involoved
5. Which raises the issue of does it freeze consistently on hitting a certain document? In which case moving or archiving that document may get Pages to actually launch

Help: macbook pro 13 inch late 2013 - can't open files

Hi all
Am having problems opening any file types on my macbook pro. It's only a few months old and has started to close the 'browse' button or any other type of button when I am required to open other files. I can't find any info on this.
I have tried running the disk utility and repairing the disk to no avail.
Don't have a clue what could have happened but it's kind of annoying cos every time I try to open up something, I have to do it about 15 times before the window opens for long enough for me to choose the file.
Hope that makes sense and hopefully someone can help me out.
Been a mac user for over 10 years now and am getting to the point where I'm considering going back to windows due to the cost and the problems I've been encountering. :-(
Cheers

That's an odd problem. If it were me I think I'd do a full backup to an external drive and reinstall the OS from the Recovery partition. If an "in-place" install (meaning overwriting the existing system files) doesn't work, the next step would be to wipe the disk and install a fresh copy.

Bringing all old files, etc. into new MacBook Pro?

I haven't gotten my new MacBook Pro, but I don't want to have to waste too much time getting things going when I do. I have my current PB G4 backed up to an external hard drive with Time Machine. How do I update the new MacBook Pro with all the files from the backup? Can I use Time Machine to do this? Does Time Machine know that there are old files from a previous machine that need to be brought into the new one?

If you have a TM backup then, yes, you can migrate files from the TM backup. This would be done using Migration Assistant. Since you will be migrating from a PPC machine please review the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro

Everything keeps freezing/crashing after Mavericks installation on MacBook Pro.
It started with Photoshop, then Safari, and now the Kinect sensor.
Mavericks is the worse thing that happened to me I have a thesis project to work on!
What can I do?
How can I remove Mavericks and go back to Mountain Lion?
Thanks

Hey StephSassine,
First, I would run through these steps:
Your computer’s startup disk may not have enough free disk space. To make disk space available, you can move files to another disk and then delete files you no longer need on the startup disk:
Increase disk space
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10677
If that doesn't work, you may need to repair your computer’s disk in Disk Utility:
Choose Apple menu > Software Update to make sure you have the latest version of Mac OS X.
Software updates sometimes change a file’s permissions to improve security, so updating your software can solve some permissions problems.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select the disk you want to check.
Click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions.
via: Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5821
If that doesn't help resolve the issue, you can revert to a previous OS X version:
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14176
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

What happens to files migrated to new macbook pro?

When I migrate files to my new macbook pro are they removed from my pc or just copied? Will my MS Word files open with "Pages"? Will my MS Excel files open with "Numbers"?

Just copied.

HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection? The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
For a Virtual Machine:
If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
For BootCamp:
Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

I want to erase all my files on my old MacBook Pro but not lose the applications.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina. I was to erase all my files off my old MacBook Pro and give it to my cousin. However, I don't want to lose the programs, like Microsoft Office, because I don't have the disks to reinstall them. Anyone know how to erase everything but not lose the applications? Or do I just go manually through each file and delete?

What i would do is wipe the computer by going into recovery mode, then erasing the HD and formating it to Mac osx extended(journaled) then reinstall the operating system. After this is complete, just download a trial of office and enter your product key so you won't need the disk. But if you don't have the product key either then you would have to manually delete everything.
