Yosemite made my MacBook Pro (Mid-2012) EXTREMELY slow
Yosemite has really gummed up my system. I'm reluctant to do a clean install, but I will if absolutely necessary.
This is what Etrecheck says. Any thought will be repaid by my eternal gratitude.
Problem description:

☞ 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 and start typing the name.

Solid State Drive Issue on Macbook pro mid 2012 extremely slow
I recently purchased a Corsair Force LS solid state drive and installed it on my laptop. The hard drive is extremely slow and I cant even install Yosemite on it. It's stuck at the installation screen and kept showing the remaining wait time is 12 mins. I left it over night but it's still stuck there. I thought the hard drive was defective so I returned and bought a Kingston ssd. I put it back in and have the same issue. I also bought the Hard Drive Caddy tray to replace the optical drive with the ssd. The hard drive works like charm when I swapped it with the optical drive. I was able to install Yosemite on it and works like charm. However, When I put it back to the hard drive slot. I was able to boot into Yosemite but It is extremely slow. I called apple and they said that they don't support that. It is so weird. I don't know what to do now

Will OS Yosemite be on Macbook Pro Mid 2012?
Will the OS Yosemite update be free? and will it be on my brand new recently purchased Macbook Pro Mid 2012?
Yosemite will be free as a few people mentioned.
You can sign up for their beta testing program and try it right now..if you're one of the million people that sign up.
But yes, it will be free and will run on your machine for sure. -

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.

Macbook pro mid 2012 very slow - hardware?
Hi there,
usually all challenges I have to face with my apple devices are pretty solvable with google but this one brings me to despair. Perhaps somebody can help me out.
The situation:
Since I started to use apple devices I am using a MBP Mid 2009 and besides that it is a little bit slower than in it's first days it works like a clockwork. My girlfriend (also working in the IT industry and knowing how to treat a computer) has the problem that her MBP Mid 2012 was extremely slowing down three weeks ago. It was getting so slow in a few day that every click she does results in a minute of watching the beach volleyball of doom.
Due to the fact that every action on the GUI was enormous fast and every action taken which demands data from the hard drive was causing the beach volleyball, made me think that there has to be an error on the hard drive. (originally intern drive: Toshiba)
It turns out that it wasn't that easy to solve, here is what we did:
First approach was:
Resetting the RAMs
Repairing the access rights of the hard drive and all the stuff you can find on google.
I tried to boot from recovery and format the internal hard drive
here was the problem that we weren't able to format the partition.
also trying to use time machine resulted in an error and wasn't able to finish
Next thing: I installed another hard drive (Western Digital) on the internal sata port which worked fine for about 3 years in my macbook and was, until I formatted it for it's new purpose, working very fine as external drive.
additionaly I build a Yosemite boot stick to reinstall it on the WD HDD.
I wasn't able to reinstall Yosemite using the boot stick and trying to install the OS while the WD drive was attached to the internal sata port.
next I changed the drives back: Toshiba internal, WD fresh formatted by my MBP Mid 2009 external
next I tried to install Yosemite freshly on the WD which was now attached over USB and that worked very well and the MBP Mid 2012 was running like new although that I accessed the HDD over a slow USB port.
The next step was the following: I used the latest time machine backup on the WD drive while it was attached external over USBthat worked very well
After that I did the following: I changed the drives back: WD with time machine backup internal, Toshiba drive attached over USB external.
first I tried to boot from the internal port which had the WD drive attached. That resulted in a gray screen with an crossed circle.
next I tried to boot over the USB port the original unchanged Toshiba drive. That worked great and there was no sign of the beach volley ball.
In my eyes that excluded the fact that the Toshiba hard drive has any hardware damages.
After that I was calling the apple customer service but they had also no clue what the problem could be.
I told them that I suggest an hardware error between the hard drive and the logic board
The only advice they had for me was to deactivated Filevalt on the Toshiba drive
So I deactivated Filevalt and changed back the Toshiba drive on the internal sata drive.
For the very first moment the problem seemed to be solved.
After about 1 hour of usage the behavior was back and the MBP wasn't able to use again.
So my last approach on the problem was the Apple Hardware Test (AHT)I was running the test normal and in extended mode and both times it told me no hardware errors found.
So long story short the questions:
If AHT sais no hardware problem found, could there anyhow a damaged part?
Has anyone any suggestion what I could do to solve this damned problem?
Thanks for reading and thank you very much vor any kind of advice or hint.
Greetings from Germany1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
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 it 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 and start typing the name.
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.

WHY does my Macbook Pro (mid 2012) always slow to crawl when I wake it up and go online???
I wake up my Macbook Pro (sweetly tell it that I love it)
click on one of the 1-10 tabs I have open in Firefox or Safari
Click on iTunes (open already) to play some tunes
Wait
Wait while the little ball spins as my browser thinks
wait a bit more
finally the tab I click on comes to the front, but the page takes 15-60 seconds to load
I proceed feeling irritated
A little help?
Specs:
15" Mid 2012 Macbook Pro
2.3ghz Intel Core i7 Processor
500gb HD
4gb RAM
Etc.
Apps that I am using:
Safari
Firefox
iTunes
Adobe Illustrator (occasionally)
Lightroom 4 (occasionally)
Why oh why must my Macbook Pro drive me insane by getting hung up for minutes on end???The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
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.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

Macbook Pro (mid 2012) is slow to start up when trying to wake up
Ok, this is a strange question that I haven't been able to find a good answer for. The issue at hand is that when I close my laptop lid, like for overnight or other long duration with no use, and I leave the power cord connected, when I try to open it it seems to take an inordinate amount of time to restart.
Conversely, if I do not have the power cord plugged in, it starts up nice and fast. And by this I mean when I open the lid, the screen shows the desktop right away, trackpad and keyboard are functioning, and the wireless starts up and begins looking for my wifi. I apologize, I can't remember off-hand if I have to log in. If I do, then it just starts up right away after log in, no noticeable issues.
Now, when I have the laptop plugged in, when I open it to start using it, I have to log in (which is fine, that's what I prefer), but the log in screen is pretty weird looking.
It seems like my login icon should be centered, or there should be the guest account login to the right or something. I don't know if this is indicative of the issue, but just something I noticed. Once I login from this it takes a couple minutes to get to where I can actually use the keyboard or trackpad. What is puzzling is why the behavior is different based on if the laptop had been plugged in or not.
I have tried resetting the PRAM, and I even tried entering a longer PMSET to extend when the hibernation would kick in (I had tried a setting of 24 hours, I know it converts to seconds, I didn't set it to 24 seconds ) but that didn't help so I set it back to the default. I also tried shutting off all of my startup programs like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc just to make sure I wasn't auto starting a memory hog, but that didn't seem to do the trick.
I'm using:
OSX 10.10.1
Macbook Pro (13 Inch, Mid 2012)
2.9 i7 processor
8 GB RAM
Thanks in advance!
Anyway, it's not the worst thing in the world, it's just super inconvenient.I have a macbook pro from the exact same time (since mid-2012) and i have the exact same problem; takes about 5 mins to wake up fully after it's been plugged into the AC adapter for long time. I have also tried resetting the PRAM and entering a longer PMSET, but neither have worked.
One thing I should add is that (sometimes) while I am waiting for the keyboard to start working, but the screen itself is on and I can see the desktop, I get a message saying the bluetooth can't "find" or "connect" to my keyboard. I wonder if it has less to do with the computer being slow to wake up and more to do with the bluetooth. Is that even possible?
Anyway, I have been trying to figure this out for years, and nothing has so far worked. Really hoping someone can help solve it. -

Trusteer Rapport is known to cause slowdowns and crashes, so unless it's required you are probably better off without it.
SilverLight needs a security update.
Watch for a Java Update, probably early next week.
After the Adware Removal Tool finishes, take a second look at Safari Extensions to make certain they are items you need and installed.

FUSE causes issues for some users.
Perian is no longer supported and reportedly does nothing with Mavericks.
Some users find that 4GB RAM is insufficient for their needs, although many others are able to make it work for them.
There are many other software items listed that I'm not familiar with, so make sure you do, that they are compatible with Mavericks and fully up-to-date. -
Why is my MacBook Pro mid 2012 so slow
I have had this MacBook Pro for a few months and recently it has been acting really slow
I have already wiped the hard drive, repaired the permissions and even researched how to make it faster and tried all
The different ways but my Mac is still slow.
This is my first Mac and I am very disappointed after a few months my new $1000 laptop breaks down
It is unbearable to use,.Look for things you may not have tried here:

MacBook Pro Mid 2012 not starting up after Yosemite Update
I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2012 model , enrolled into Yosemite Public Beta Program ...
After the official public launch , app store suggested that i rather update from beta 5 to beta 6 , as downloading extra 5 gig of OS data seemed unnecessary for me , I just updated from the app store.
Post the update , after shutting down my MacBook , I tried starting it up after 8 hours , it failed to respond to any of my prompts .
Keyboard not responding
Power Button not responding
Li-Po Battery indicator alone works ,
When plugged MagSafe , it indicates charging .
The Sleep Indicator (in the front - that of hard disk drive ) blinks occasionally.
Later, when i tried powering up with MagSafe , It booted luckily , after some 20 hours of work , i shut the system down ,
Again when i tried booting up , it failed .
The problem persists since 3 days.
I tried booting up in Safe Mode - No result
Tried Verbose Booting up - No result
Cleared NV RAM - No result
Cleared SMC as Apple instructed for Intel Based MacBooks - No result.
Removed Battery and kept aside for a while , After an hour tried powering up , It booted up , Went till Apple Logo , The loading bar was some 45%
Then it started to go down with a black screen ,
It never starts up again.
After regular intervals of removing and installing battery , it starts up to white screen and goes off.
I am really worried and desperate now.
I am not sure whether my HDD is dead or my Battery is dead or my Logic board is dead or my Yosemite Install was not right ?
After hours of online research , nothing seems to be helpful .
People at Apple Care (Premium ReSeller , India) are so irresponsible in attending the issue ,
They say its helpless without even doing some basic troubleshoot.
Where would it have went wrong and What am i supposed to do now ?
PLEASE HELP !!darkrider92,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as the one that you got from your mom. Were you able to install the 10.6.8 update successfully onto the factory drive? Were you using the factory RAM when you tried to install the 10.6.8 update on the SSD?
Have you checked the Web site of the SSD’s manufacturer, to see if there’s a firmware update available for the SSD?
You can download the 10.6.8 update outside of Software Update from Apple here; in case you need to try to install this update several times, running it from your local disk would be more convenient than waiting for it to download again. -
MacBook Pro mid-2012 running very slowly after upgrade to Yosemite
Problem description:
MacBook Pro mid-2012 - installed Yosemite, and the system now crawls. Webpages have very delayed responses, can take 30+ seconds to react to typing or selection. I turned off FileVault, that did not appear to help. Emptied the trash, removed some obsolete fonts. Any help for what else to try would be much appreciated.

After the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 in iPhone 5s and OS X 10.1.1 Yosemite (MacBook Pro Mid 2012) can not connect my iPhone 5s to the MacBook, the iPhone tells me: "The MacBook is incompatible" or the message "Connection Error, Make sure the Mac is turned on and is within range" even the iPhone being close to the Mac. Otherwise with the updated iPad 2 (iOS 8.1.2) is connected via bluetooth to the MacBook without any problems, Even the iPad 2 does not detect the iPhone bluetooth.
Help me please

If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458 -

Macbook pro mid-2012 13" has very slow disk access
Until 3 days ago my macbook pro mid-2012 13" running OX 10.8.3 was running fine. Then, it showed very slow response anytime it had to access the hard disk. After doing the usual checks and disk first aid repairs to no avail, I booted from my external disk with an older copy of my hard disk and everything then worked as normal, except when I accessed the internal hard disk, then it crawled once again (spinning beach ball, took many seconds just to open a finder window and then several minutes to display the contents). I ran the Apple Hardware Tests and it said everything was fine, even though it tooks several minutes before the test would actually start. I also ran the program BlackMagic Speed Disk to find out if the disk was having transfer speed problems and it showed a respectible transfer rate (60MB/s), not great but not like the 0.3MB/s I was getting when I tried to back up the internal disk. I was using Carbon Copy Cloner to try to back up the internal disk but had to give up since at 0.3MB/s, it would take days to back up the 250GB on the disk. I found on the web that using "restore" in Disk Utility, I could do a disk copy without the file by file copy which allowed me to back up my disk in "only" 6 hours. Booting from my newly made copy on an external disk worked fine and ran at nearly normal speed (slightly slower since it was an external disk running through USB2). As a final attempt to prove this was a disk problem, I erased the internal disk and reinstalled OSX 10.8. I am still waiting for this install to finish, it has been 5 hours although the progress bar said it should be done in 20 minutes. This was fairly convincing evidence that it is not a software or settings problem. However, all my web searches could find no other case of a problem like mine. I presume I have a failed hard disk but as all the diagnostic programs say it is working fine, I was hesitating to bring it in without hard diagnostic evidence. If anyone knows what might be the problem, it would be much appreciated to hear from you.
It should not take 5 hours to install Mac OS X. There is something wrong with the disk. Try reformatting where you do a wipe of the drive (an select the option to write zeros which will remap bad sectors). Then try to install MAc OS X.
I got this information from here:

Back up your data.
Use Time Machine or a system cloning utility to create a full and restorable backup of your data. If you suspect bad blocks, then when cloning you might consider not using a "block-level" copy process, since this will likely run into problems.
Boot to the utilities DVD.
If you have a boot DVD for a tool like Drive Genius or another drive utility, then boot to that; if not, use your OS X installation DVD (once you select your language, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu).
Format the drive.
Using your selected utility, format the drive and check for bad blocks. If you are using Disk Utility, click the Erase tab, click the Options button, and then select the option to write zeros to the disk (you do not need to do multipass erase options, as this will provide no additional benefit for managing bad blocks). Writing to zeros may take a couple of hours depending on the size of the drive, but when done the drive will have remapped any blocks that were not reliably read.
Restore the OS installation.
If you have used Time Machine to create your backup, boot to your OS X installation DVD (if you are not using Disk Utility) and use the option in the Utilities menu to restore from backup. Attach your Time Machine drive and then proceed with the restoration, selecting the newest backup as the one to restore to your system. If you have used a system cloning tool, then attach the cloned drive and boot off of it (hold the Option key at start-up to select it from the boot menu). When you are booted to the cloned drive, run your cloning utility to copy the installation back to the computer's main boot drive.An optional approach here is to perform a full reinstallation of the OS from your installation DVD, and then migrate your data, applications, and settings from either the clone or the Time Machine backups using Apple's Migration Assistant. -
Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) Startup Time Increased
Hi everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) non-retina model. I have an upgraded SSD (Crucial MX100). The startup time from switching on to the login screen is usually around five seconds but since this morning the time has increased to around 40 seconds. When the power button is pressed, the tone sounds and the screen lights up but it takes quite a while for the apple logo to appear. I haven't added or removed anything or changed any settings since before this happened. There doesn't seem to be any changes to the performance of the computer once it has started up, or the time taken from the password entered for the bar to load (Yosemite).
My hard drive cable once broke and I had it replaced at an Apple store (if that means anything to anyone). If anyone could give me any possible explanations or advise on how I can return the boot up time to the normal time.
Thanks,
BenSelect Macintosh HD as the Startup Disk.
