MacBook Pro :: 17 Slow Wake After EFI 2.7 Update

Feb 25, 2012

After installing the EFI 2.7 update yesterday, my MacBook Pro 17" has had an odd bug. 

When the display dims after x minutes of inactivity, it takes 10-15 seconds after activity (mouse click, key press, etc.) for the screen to "un-dim".  Same happens when trying to wake from the screen saver or sleep. 

I have tried restarting as well as restarting w/PRAM reset.  After the PRAM reset, the MBP would wake as usual for a little while, but then reverted back to the slow wake bug.

MacBook Pro :: 17" Slow Reconnect To Wireless After Wake From Sleep?

Oct 18, 2009

I'm hoping I can get some ideas and guidance on this. A few months ago I bought my wife a 17" MBP. At the time we had a D-Link DIR655 Wireless-N router and the MBP worked great with it. If I woke the machine from sleep the reconnection to the wireless network was pretty much instantaneous.

Unfortunately that router started to flake out and I replaced it with what is considered to be a top of the line router, Netgear WNDR3700. This router has a dual N band. One band is N only the other one is B/G/N. I have attached the MBP to both networks.

When the MBP wakes up it takes up to a minute for the wireless to be re-established. Weirdly it will reconnect to the SECOND of the two networks that are listed in priority order on the advanced wireless settings.If I remove either of the two networks and only have one listed, sometimes the MBP will take over a minute to eventually get reconnected.Does anyone have any thought on this? It's very frustrating and I haven't figured out why the reconnection is so slow with this very high end router. All my other wireless devices maintain their connection to the router very well with no drops or reconnects.

OS X :: 10.6.5 Update - MacBook Pro Automatically Wake Up

Nov 21, 2010

I have a 17" MacBook Pro that I bought recently (and even more recently restored) new from Apple. Ever since the 10.6.5 update I have noticed some problems. Almost every night, my MacBook Pro will wake up. I don't know if this is significant but I do have it connected to a cinema display, firewire hard drive, and an Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

The only thing I would be suspecting is the hard drive but I don't know why since it is only used for time machine backups and those work normally. I do hear sometimes the hard drive spin up at night for a backup, but then it quickly shuts down after, which I believe is normal. Anyways, checking the console in the morning, I find this out of the usual:

Mac Pro :: Wake From Sleep After Firmware Update

Apr 30, 2008

Before I purchased my Mac Pro on friday, I made sure to read these forums to make myself aware to some problems that could occur. When I got home, I made sure to do all the software updates and the Mac Pro is completely up to date, including the latest update from yesterday. However, this morning when I went to wake up my Mac Pro I couldn't get it to work so I had to do a hard restart. Should this be a concern for me? I put it back into sleep mode again and it woke up fine.. Could this have been a fluke?

OS X :: Snow Leopard Needs Update - IMac Not Wake Up

Sep 25, 2009

If you think Snow Leopard needs an update to fix all all these problems post something here. My biggest problem is that my imac won't wake up and I am forced to shut it down by holding the power button, it happens about once every two days and it is quite annoying. Also (I don't know if this happened before or not) the apple symbol in the menu bar changes every two seconds, not a big deal but just weird.

Mac Pro :: IPhoto Getting Slow With Each Update - Crashes Often

Jun 19, 2012

My initial pleasure with the speed of my new-to-me Mac Pro (8 core) is turning to frustration as Lion and iPhoto get glitchier and slower with each update. Tonight, while simply saving a file in iPhoto, it crashed and took 97 seconds to reopen and stabilize (SBOD). I've seen posts as far back as early 2010 regarding iPhoto '11 being slow and unstable. Before being forced to "upgrade" my iPhoto library to accomodate the latest iPhoto update, I saved a copy, with the notion of returning to the previous iteration of iPhoto which always served me well. Has anybody tried this with Lion? I'm also considering going back to Snow Leopard.

OS X Mavericks :: Finder Is Slow After 10.9.3 Update?

Jun 17, 2014

After the OSX 10.9.3 update, whenever I open Finder for the first time, it takes 20-30 seconds to load (beachball is spinning the whole time). I've read other posts where people post the log from Console, so here it goes. This is what comes up as soon as I click on Finder. 

6/17/14 9:00:50.264 AM WindowServer[13300]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "Finder" for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.

6/17/14 9:01:04.264 AM WindowServer[13300]: disable_update_likely_unbalanced: UI updates still disabled by application "Finder" after 15.00 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds). Likely an unbalanced disableUpdate call.

6/17/14 9:01:11.024 AM WindowServer[13300]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application "Finder" after 21.76 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds) 

Also, if I leave Finder alone for not even a minute and then come back to it, it is frozen w/ beachball and have to wait another 20-30 sec before it's responsive again.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Screen Sharing Slow After Recent Update

Jun 16, 2012

I have installed the latest update that Apple posted a few days ago on multipl computers.  It seems that after the update, screen sharing still works, but instead of bringing up the shared screen in about 5 seconds as it used to, it now takes almost 30 seconds.  This has happened for me on two seperate networks so I believe it is not network related. Something in the Lion update seems to be culpret. My 10.6 server machines still can be shared fine.

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Software Update Downloads Are Horribly Slow - Is AT&T Throttling

Feb 16, 2012

I have experienced horrible software update download speeds for two weeks. www.speedtest.net and other test sites show good performance (usually about 10 mbps down and 1.5 mbps up). The software update download progress seems to be interrupting and then continuing. Its been grinding out 1.09 GB for the snow leopard combined update for over 6 hours this afternoon. Anyone else having problems with software update? I'm beginning to wonder if AT&T is throttling my internet traffic. Is there a tool to check this?

MacBook :: Calculator App Working Slow / Numbers Appear On Screen In Slow Motion

Jun 3, 2004

I have a new MacBook (Dec '08) and everything is working fine with one exception. When I type numbers into the calculator app they appear on the screen in slow motion with a nice long pause as each number typed is displayed. On our iMac the calculator app just flies along and has no problem keeping up no matter how fast I enter in numbers. Any ideas where to start on this one? Besides the standard software we have installed Microsoft Office and Handbrake.
