MacBook Pro :: Retina Display Sudden Shutdown?
Jun 25, 2012So I've been using my new macbook pro with retina display for about a week now, and its shutdown several times on its own. The computer just goes black, and then turns on with a grey screen that says it had to shutdown and is restarting.

Mar 15, 2012My Mac feels as if it is running slower these last couple of months. I have thought of pursuing a commercially available "clean up" product, but thought I would try the community first and also for pointers using the Mac's own internal diagnostics or system improvement capabilities. Any and all advice is most welcome. I have a 250GB hard drive that is half full, I always update to latest revisions and have an extra high-speed internet connection. Computer is not heavily loaded with apps and typically using Firefox for browsing. (MS Office for Mac as well, but usually limited to one program such as MS Word or Excel at a time.) No heavy graphics utilization. Videos from the internet load slowly and some are choppy. Even scrolling just doesn't seem "brisk".

MacBook Pro :: It Is Running So Slowly All Of A Sudden
May 13, 2012Just recently my 13" Macbook Pro started to run very slowly. When I search something on google, the spinning wheel will pop up as my cursor and remain for about 30 seconds while I am unable to do or click on anything and if itunes is playing in the background then the song will stop abruptly. Everything eventually loads but its just a pain in the butt. Before this i was doing the exact same type of things with my computer and it handled them fine so i do not believe its an issue of RAM. THis happened to me once before and when I turned my computer back on it just got to the gray apple logo and would go no further, somehow my harddrive failed.

Software :: Macbook Running 100 Times Slower?
May 31, 2009i have the macbook model no.A1181.
Its the black macbook that 2.4ghz intel duo core processor and 2gb of memory and 250 gb hard drive the 13.3 screen and it is black with the lepord apps.
Latley i can not to anything at all i have gone and checked everything that needs to be checked and nothing is wrong, But ever since that virus scare about the macs was on the news my my macbook has been 100 times slower then usual. And on top of that i can not even go in any of my apps all the icon does is bounce and it never pops up and wen i look in my force quit it tells me that the app is not responding it happens with everything on the macbook. And i can't even go on the internet at all the moment i got to search for a website it doesn't even come up and again says not responding. I am both a mac and pc user and have grown up on both mac and pc. So i know how to use a mac but i can't not find out what is wrong and i am really worried because i payed 1500 for this.
MacBook :: Getting Slower At Running Basic Operations With OS X 10.7.2
Jun 20, 2012My 2008 2.4ghz Intel MacBook is getting slower and slower at running basic operations. I have tried to free up my hard drive as it was very full. I free up 40 GB+ of space, but something is still filling it back up? Here is what my profile looks like:
How do I figure out what all this "other" material is? I thought it was due to a lack of memory after upgrading to Lion, but it has been getting dramatically worse, which doesn't seem like a memory issue to me.

OS X :: 10.5.7 Update - Running Slower Now?
May 20, 2009anyone noticed after the 10.5.7 update you run slower. my keyboard is taking time to catch up with my typing now and i have to wait a noticeable amount of time longer to load webpages.
i have a Intel iMac, which has not been affected as badly, but my MacBook is really bad since the update?
I have scanned for viruses and used onyx to see if that solved it. but not luck.
is this a problem with just me or the update in general?
PowerPC :: Everything On EMac Running Slower
Mar 19, 2007Everything on my mac is running slower and slower, I have the last ver. of the eMac, and still running the 256 Ram, and 12 GB of storage with an external of 250 GB. I dont know why, if you need a list of apps or anything just ask. I also dont have the 100 I need right now to upgrade the ram. Plus if anyone could tell me if and how I can use my external as my main drive, but it is a usb, that sometimes hikups being on my mac for access, it will access it sometimes 5 min after I boot, so I may not want to, or is it a glitch of my mac.

May 2, 2012My late 2011 iMac started slowing down about 3 months ago. My hard drive then got corrupt and I restored to mac osx lion anew. It sped up a bit but still slow. Last month my iMac started doing the same thing so instead of restoreing I moves all of my files to an external hard drive. Now I rerestored once again but it didn't help. A prime example of the speed decrease is the game minecraft. Half a year ago I could run a server and run on the good graphics smoothly. Now I can even look around with only minecraft. It took me 30 min to turn on. I had to do this on my iPad because I mac couldnt make it here.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Safari Is Running Slower Since Upgrade?
May 16, 2012Ever since upgrading to OSX 10.7.4, Safari has been very slow loading websites that normally are very fast. When I open Safari or load a page I get the spinning ball for as long as fifteen seconds. This is especially problematic when I initially open Safari in the morning after my iMac has been asleep for several hours.

OS X Mavericks :: IMac Running Slower Since Update
Aug 26, 2014Since upgrading to Mavericks my Mac has been running pretty slow. I run Logic Pro 9 and Ableton 8 music programs on my computer quite often and that's where i notice significant lag. I understand those are heavy programs, but even when Safari is open and I try to open Finder there is lag time before the window actually opens. When I restart my computer, it runs a little better, but as soon as I begin to open other programs, the lag begins and will continue even after I close them.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard and never had any issues- it ran extremely smooth under the most stressful conditions with all the current memory and hard drive space, cpu, etc. I

OS X :: Powerbook Running OS 10.2.8 All Of A Sudden, Trash Just Won't Empty?
Jan 19, 2006I have a Powerbook running OS 10.2.8 All of a sudden, my trash just won't empty - anything, locked, unlocked, anything at all. I've reset permissions, still, nothing. I did manage to empty my trash via a program called Cocktail, which I know some of you guys are familiar with, but it is striking me odd that I just can't empty the trash the good old fashion way.
Anyone have any guesses or suggestions?
Applications :: Firefox 3.6.3 Runs Slower The Longer It Is Running?
Apr 22, 2010My iMac:
Firefox (3.6.3)
27" iMac 2.8 quad core i7
12gb of memory running
OS/X ver. 10.6.3
DSL: 6 mbps/768 Kbps
Hardwired DSL modem connected to iMac via ethernet cable
The iMac is screaming fast except for the Firefox app, the longer I run it the slower my internet is. I have tried disabling the plug-ins as well going to Preferences=>Privacy and setting "Remember my browsing history for at least" to 5 days.
This hasn't really helped. I have confirmed that the DSL is running properly, even had a AT&T tech out to confirm it.

IMac :: Itunes And Safari Running, Enable The Visualizer Imac Is Noticeably Slower?
Dec 31, 2010System Spec: Late 09 21" 3.06, GeForce 9400, 4gb ramCurrently I have itunes and safari running, if i enable the visualizer my imac is noticeably slower, especially when browsing the internet.I thought it might be the fact I was running a second 1080p display from the 9400 would have caused the slow down. But the same thing occurred after i disconnected it. After repairing permissions and restarting, pmram etc.Is the 9400 causing the slowdown? I know its fairly old but itunes visualizer and safari should be quite basic tasks. Its not the end of the world i know but does the 27" imac have similar issues as i plan to upgrade my machine in 2011.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Won't Stay Asleep - Hard Drive Begin Spinning Again After Some Time
Dec 10, 2014I am desperate and really need an answer to this question. I have tried everything and had no luck.
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running Yosemite. Whenever I close the screen, it will fall asleep like it normally does. However, the external light will only pulse once (instead of continuously), and then I can hear the hard drive begin spinning again. The external light then stays at a constant, but the screen does not light back up.
It's like the computer falls asleep, but then only the hard drive wakes up, and stays woken up. This fact causes my Macbook to eventually use up whatever battery power it has and get warm in my backpack. The only thing I can do to preserve battery power is to shut down the whole computer and boot it up every time I need it.
Also, on a side note. My computer seems to run much slower than it did on it's native Mavericks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Does Spotlight Begin To Re-index Drives After Each Startup?
Jun 2, 2012Three days ago I was browsing the web when my cursor evidently brushed over an ad for MacKeeper. In a few seconds MacKeeper had downloaded itself without asking and taken over Safari. Since I don't like thuggish behavior in people or in software, as soon as I regained control of Safari I moved MacKeeper to the trash and did a "Secure Empty Trash." I then aimed Intego's Virus Barrier at the Downloads folder and it found nothing questionable. I checked out various webpages where people describe how to rid your computer of MacKeeper if you've installed it - - I didn't install it, but I checked in all the recommended places and found nothing visible. However whether it is a coincidence or there is a causal relation immediately after this incident, Spotlight began to re-index my two internal hard drives - - estimating first that it would take 3 days, then 7 days to index them. I wrote about this on another thread and received the following advice:
"Spotlight's probably in a wobble. A few things you could do:
1. Tell Spotlight to start again. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app) and copy/paste this command: sudo mdutil -E /
Press 'return'. You'll be asked for your password, which will not echo when you type it, so type carefully.
Give Spotlight a few minutes then check on its progress, does it look like it's going to complete in a reasonable amount of time? If the problem persists
2. Restart your Mac in Safe mode and log in to your account.
This'll take a while. When it's finished, immediately restart and log in normally and check on Spotlight again."
I performed the first step. After a few minutes Spotlight estimated that it would complete indexing in 20 minutes. Over the next few hours it continued to increase its estimates to an ever larger number of hours.
Then I performed the second step. After completing it Spotlight's estimate was that it would take several days.
Eventually I performed the first step again and the same sequence of increasing estimates occurred.
I left the computer on overnight and by morning Spotlight estimated it would take 35 hours to complete indexing of my drives.
Later on I turned the computer off. When I started it up again Spotlight had started once again to re-index my drives and now estimates it will take 5 days.
None of this behavior had occurred before the mishap with MacKeeper. Since I have a recent clone of the startup drive that was made before this incident it seems possible that I could zero out my internal startup drive after saving any files that have changed to a DVD, use Virus Barrier to check if there is anything questionable present in the folder in which they are located and then clone the data from the backup drive back to the newly formatted internal hard drive. However I would rather not have to do this, so I would be most grateful for any less extreme suggestions.
