Yosemite slow on MBP late 2013, did several clean installs

I've got a MBP late 2013 which I upgraded from Mavericks to OS Yosemite. When I did it, the impact was bad: all applications and OS is slow, to write an email or to  open simple files have to wait more than 30 secs. i have read all the topics here, have done clean install several times with time machine restore of only apps.
Still MBP is slow, have done PRAM, MCC etc.
how to solve this?

  • MBP late 2013 won't connect to TV with HDMI cable

    Yesterday I connected my MBP (late 2013) with a SCEPTRE TV using an HDMI cable and it worked perfectly.
    I wake up the next day and try to connect it again but the TV says "No Signal"
    I didn't touch the set up in any way so nothing changed physically.
    Please help

  • A solution that works for Windows 8.1 on MBP Late 2013

    Here is how I could successfully install Windows 8.1 on Mbp Late 2013 running Maverick:
    Follow precisely these steps and you will be done in 30 minutes:
    1/ Using BootCamp Assistant, create a USB stick and select all three options including Bootcamp updates, etc.
    2/ Set your partition size when asked.
    3/ IMPORTANT: When reboot, Hold the Option key and Boot again on Maverick (do not boot on the USB stick)
    4/ When back on Maverick, run Disk Utility, select Macintoch partition and choose Partition tab.
    5/ Select the BOOTCAMP newly created partition (the one at the bottom) and press minus to remove it.
    6/ Apply for changes. At this point, BOOTCAMP partition should be gone.
    7/ Press + to add a new partition that will likely be called Machintoch HD2 or so.
    8/ Rename it to BOOTCAMP
    9/ IMPORTANT: Change the partition type to ExFAT.
    10/ Apply again for changes.
    11/ Reboot your Mac and Press Option again. Select WINDOWS (Orange USB device)
    12/ Windows installation process should start and bring you to the partition selection.
    13/ Select the BOOTCAMP partition (the one at the bottom) and FORMAT it.
    14/ Press Next and get going through Windows 8.1 installation.
    15/ IMPORTANT: Each time a reboot occurs, press Option key and select WINDOWS Drive (NOT the ORANGE USB stick)
    16/ Finally, Windows 8.1 will get installed and will ask for BOOTCAMP drivers to get installed. Just follow the instructions.
    17/ You are done.
    P.

    Ohhhh, Silly, silly moi. Ok, got it. Now I see "Partition". Thanks! Will try again. Downloading Windows support software as I type.
    Thank you.
    One more thing - while attempting installation the first time (before I stumbled on this thread) - I looked up YouTube re how to create a USB bootable ISO (which included editing the info.plist file in Boot Camp Assistant).
    When I tried installing 8.1 from the ISO, the installation aborted saying "cannot find resources" (something like that) - this occured after the first stage, i.e. while "preparing files to install Windows".
    Assuming I get this again (I hope not!), is it because of a corrupted ISO?

  • MBP late 2013 and TP-Link Archer C7 at 5Ghz

    My MBP late 2013 is unable to establish a stable connection with TP-Link Archer C7 AC 1750 at 5Ghz. The connection is working fine for some time and drop to nothing after that. The only way to restor it, is to reboot the router. At same time the Apple TV is working okay at 5Ghz and there are no problems.

    try OpenWRT.
    I'm ordering the same router and am planning to run it with OpenWRT. Depending on the hardware revision of the router, openwrt will (or will not) run.
    Hope my router will arive this week and will be able to share my success report.

  • Have Memory DDR3 instead of DDR3L, Mbp late 2013, 13" is this OK?

    Have Memory DDR3 instead of DDR3L, Mbp late 2013, 13" is this OK

    As long as all of the specifications are the same, there should be no problems. The DDR3L just stands for Low-Voltage. Pop it in and see if it boots up. Worst that can happen is it doesn't boot. Then you just pull it out and put the old RAM back in. It should work, though.

  • Yosemite - Sleep Wake Failure - MBP Late 2013

    Hi,
    I have the following MBP which is currently running Yosemite V10.10.2
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite I get persistent crashes when the machine wakes from sleeping. It's very intermittent, sometimes it'll be fine for days and others it will happen a few times per day. Either way it's very frustrating.
    It results in the laptop simply being switched off when I reopen the lid and I have to start again by pressing the power button. Or it has rebooted already and is back at the login prompt. Again, there is no clear pattern when either of those happens though.
    The applications I run every day and are usually open when it happens are Chrome and VMWare Fusion 7 running a single VM with Windows8. I also have iPhoto and Eclipse open more often than not.
    I've searched the forum and a few people seem to be experiencing similar but not exactly the same symptoms. A search on the reported code doesn't return any results. I've tried a PRAM reset but I get the same behaviour.
    Is there any way of diagnosing exactly what's causing this?
    Many thanks,
    Lee

  • MBP late 2013 i7 2.3gHZ restart problems and major input lags

    Since I've updated my MBP i7 2.3 Ghz late 2013 to OSX Yosemite (10.10.1) I can't restart the macbook with my promise harddrive and apple cinema display still connected via thunderbolt. When I restart it keeps hanging on the grey screen without the apple logo. When I unplug the thunderbolt and usb cable, hold down the power button and turn it back it everything is fine. Just the restart won't work.. Any ideas?
    Further more, I receive major input lags in different programs. For example I use Final Cut Pro (10.1.3) a lot for my job. I use managed media library all stored on the promise harddrive via thunderbolt. The footage I use is raw of the SD card from a Nikon D800 (h2.64 mov), of course i let everything import first before editing. Though I get major input lags (0,5-1,5 sec) when pressing the spacebar to play for example. Ive used this workflow exactly the same on my previous MBP (17" late 2011 I think) without any lags.
    Specs of my MBP:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    Storage 512 GB SSD
    Hope anyone can help me.

    Your original configuration is an HDD. Have you considered replacing it with an SSD. It helps quite a bit.
    The current 2013 (and now the 2014) MBPs are excellent machines, and can run Bootcamp via native EFI (Win 8/8.1 - Win7 has some driver challenges), rather than the CSM-BIOS layer and you will get very good performance. I would recommend a 16GB MBP. If you do a lot of external display work, dual GPUs may work better for you.
    I use the TB-to-FW for accessing external disks, not sound cards, but the storage works fine. This machine can support 8GB RAM, which may also be worth considering.

  • IBooks Author VERY slow on new, late 2013 iMac

    I have an iBook that is about 100mb that I am writing. The book is tediously slow to work on. Moving widgets around takes on inordinate amount of time and sometimes blows up the formatting of the book. On my old Mac Pro Late 2008, I never experienced this.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a late 2013 iMac 3.5GHz Core i7, 16gb RAM, 500GB SSD.
    Has anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
    Thanks

    I'm in the same problem.
    iBooks is became unusable.
    I have published numerous ibooks, but an old update of iBooks (already with Mountain Lion, don'tv remember when), is became very very slow, with the same Mac.
    Now I have update to Mavericks (now 10.9.1) hoping to solve the problem, in vain.
    I have a MacBook pro 17" later 2011, 2,5 Ghz, Intel core i7, 16gb ram and i work only with iBooks Author and OpenOffice.
    Who can help me?
    Thanks

  • Graphics related crashes since Yosemite on a 27' late 2013 iMac

    Hello all,
    My 27 inch late 2013 iMac with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB started freezing or auto-rebooting since I updated to Yosemite.
    Crashes would occur randomly and were sometimes accompanied by lots of red boxes on the screen.
    These kind of crashes seem to have stopped happening but now shifted to almost everytime I fire up Launchpad or Expose (and once when I opened the notifcation center). The screen freezes for a couple of seconds and the system will reboot, prompting me with a graphics related error.
    Because my searches on this issue come up empty I would like to ask if anyone can tell me whether or not this is a bug or a hardware related problem.
    Thanks for any help
    Maybe related: My iMac sometimes takes a more than usual amount of seconds to wake from sleep. The screen will turn on but remain black.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Yosemite on Macbook Air late 2013

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook air with 4GB of ram, 1.3ghz, and about 60-70GB of free space. I want to upgrade to Yosemite, as I like the look of the new features-however, I am quite concerned that it will really slow down my computer. Those with the same machine as myself, does Yosemite run well? I have read accounts of it being fantastic, and accounts of Mac's becoming unusable!
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    1. Make a clone backup with Carbon Copy Cloner software.
       Then try Yosemite.
       Yosemite runs well on a Mac with 8GB RAM installed.
    2. I see no problem with Yosemite here on this Mac.
    Best.

  • 13inch MBP late 2013 keyboard backlit help

I came back probably an hour later and I was on the MBP  and noticed some keys weren't illuminated and some keys weren't as bright as the others. So about 5 min later boom, then next thing you know the backlit was gone. It just shut off, the MB still works fine. It's just the backlit light on the keyboard.  I have the 1 year hardware warranty still covered on this till Feb 2015, is the backlit keyboard issue covered under hardware warranty? Thanks!!
    I tried all of these below.
    F5 and F6 keys
    Shut down and restart
    SMC reset
    FN F6 and FN F5
    Restarted MBP and holding down D key to check for errors and system found no errors and everything was fine.
    Is there anything else I can do?

    Yeah, I was thinking the same. I hope my 1 year hardware warranty covers it. Thanks
    If the MBP is in the warranty period, it certainly should be covered.
    Ciao.

  • Cracked MBP Late 2013 Screen

    Yes, I stupidly fell asleep in my bed while I had my MBP with the open screen and when I woke up it was in the floor, I thought it would be fine but I cracked the side of the screen, pretty badly. I can see most part of it but I definitely can't work like this. Thankfully I have an external monitor for now. What should I do? I know these MBP's are all integrated and I did not buy AppleCare. Around how much does it cost to change one of the screens, if it's possible?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Call the Apple Store to find out about repair costs.

  • 15" MBP (late 2011) vs 13" MBP (late 2013) - graphics

    I have an older i7 15" macbook pro 2011, which was custom upgraded with 8GB RAM and a 240GB Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD. Sadly this has just suddenly suffered from a logic board crash. So im looking to upgrade to a newer models, but trying to detemrine which model is best.
    5-6 days a week this is being carried around on my shoulders for work, for 3-6 hours of transit each day. Ouch.
    50% of the time this will be used for emails
    40% of the time this will be used for photoshop, lightroom, and illustrator. Nothing too intensive, but large library of all RAW photos.
    10% of the time this will be used for viewing 3D files via Meshlap or eDrawings. No editing, just simple open, view, spin around, etc.
    Option 1 - Macbook AIR
    Ideally, I would love to get an air, as it is super light. But it is also sadly super weak from what I have seen. So it is out of the question.
    Option 2 - 15" Macbook Pro
    I could go with the new 15" maxed out, but it costs a fortune and I think it is overkill for what i need. Plus, while it is 1 pound lighter than my previous 15", it is still heavy to lug around everywhere.
    Option 3 - 13" Macbook Pro
    Alternatively I think a 13" Macbook Pro maxed out would be pretty good too. It is smaller, and much lighter (2 pounds) than my previous 15". My biggest concern is the graphics power of the "Iris".
    I know the 15" has the Iris Pro, which is better than the Intel HD3000, but not sure if the Iris (non pro) is also better? But im guessing for the standard emails and run of the mill 2D work, the Iris is probably ok, right? Or am i wrong on this?
    And more improtantly, is the Iris capable of handling the 3D file viewing smoothly, compared to the AMD 6770M of the previous 15"? I did test open some 3D files on my wifes 13" 2011, which only has the HD3000, and it was a bit choppy. But if the Iris (non-pro) is much more powerful than the HD3000, then maybe it is sufficent?
    Any thoughts on this? Appreciate it!

    No one can comment on if the 13" maxed out could handle reviewing 3D files?

  • I have a 15in MBP late 2013 w/ Mavericks installed.  At work, I was hoping to dock the MBP and connect to dual Dell P2414H monitors.

    To do so I purchased (2) DisplayPort to HDMI cables and (1) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.  As for setup, I have one monitor directly connected to the HDMI port on the MBP and the other monitor connect to the Thunderbolt adapter. 
    I am getting no signal whatsoever on either monitor.  I've ensured that each monitor is set to DisplayPort.  I can understand a signal issue existing between the monitor and the adapter, but I cannot understand the issue with the monitor connected directly to the MBP via the HDMI port.  I checked System Report > Hardware > Thunderbolt and my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter shows, but port2 contains no connected device (this is where the Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter is plugged).  Does anyone know where I can check the status of the HDMI port?
    I'm hoping that the issue isn't as blunt as the monitors not being compatible with the MBP.  I've used my previous MBP with another, older, Dell monitor via a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter with no issue whatsoever.  I've scoured the interwebs with the hopes of finding someone with a similar issue, but I've found nobody.

    When the dock is defined as on the bottom, it will appear on the screen of the extended desktop that is lowest.
    Move the second monitor where the bottom edges are equal or the Dell is lower and the dock will move there.
    Regards,
    Captfred

    I search the web and somebody highlight it may due to connector to keyboard/trackpad appear to be curled.
