2011 Macbook pro running slow and beach balling

My Early 2011 Macbook pro worked extremely slow for a few months.  He is lagging in the start-up and opening of all applications.  It also happened to coincide with my Wifi, refusing to recognize my Macbook, he repeated that a device was already on the network with the same IP address. I tried reseting the IP address several times.  But since he has never done this on other networks I received a new router this week and have not had a problem until now.

The biggest problem is the race slow, hot and delay.  I have 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive. I'm running OS X 10.11.5. Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated!

  • MacBook Pro running slow and crash

    Hi, I was faced with a slow MacBook Pro two years ago. It was incredible for the first year and I've been making sure to not save files too heavy on that and have only a handful of applications.

    I've just cleaned new (I checked through almost all alone on my files for what I could get rid of) and it of still slow and crashes regularly. It also takes forever to connect. I recently encrypted disc, which seems to have made it is still slower. I use it to edit video and design, but they make crash all the time. He also says that I have 250 GB in apps (that is what takes up the majority of storage), while I only did less 50 GB.

    I back upwards on the time Machine and I was wondering if I should wipe and reinstall, but I fear that the encryption could cause me to lose access to the files, and I don't know if I can simply restore my back upwards or if I should reinstall everything manually. Any advice would be welcome! Thank you

    What exactly happens when it crashes? Is there an error message?

    Hi jpjones2,

    It worked before? If so, I suggest restarting the base station AirPort, Mac and the Photosmart. Then test it again. Ensure that the Photosmart works well autonomous - try printing a copy on the device.

    Is only the failing printing and analysis very well? Or you are not able to install the device on your Mac at all?

    Already check the Photosmart is connected to your network and has received an IP address?

  • MacBook Pro running slow even after upgrade

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch model mid 2012, which had 4 GB of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, processor i5 2.5 Ghz, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB and running on OSX El Capitan version 10.11.5. I upgraded my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB, still my Mac is slow. Apps for open at the usual time, he used to take when I had 4 GB of RAM. I bought the RAM correct as required by the specification of the laptop from the apple Web site. I tried all possible measures to increase my speed of laptop by Google but there was a lot of difference.  Help, please!

    There are 2 things you can try to improve the speed of your MacBook Pro.

    1 backup all your data, then on boot hold down CMD + R, then open disk utility and format your hard drive. You go to install a new copy of Mac OS x.

    2. follow the same steps as above but swap your hard drive outside with a SSD before doing the CMD + R reset tactical.

    MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST

    1. Uninstall McAfee.  There is no virus circulating currently which can do damage to OS X, so this time programs, the antivirus are not necessary.  The majority of them, what I and other contributors here have seen, adversely affects the performance of any system they are installed on.  In addition, they protect you from what Mac users really need to worry, which is malware and adware.  Malware and adware programs are installed by you, unlike viruses, who settle.  The most common way in this case is when you download something via torrent or a comprehensive download site, as many times these installers are provided with the malware and adware.  When you install one, install you this.
    2. Uninstall CleanMyMac 3.  Mac don't need any program that claims it will be driven, clean, optimize, refresh, or organize your computer.  Programs like CMM are called scamware for a reason.
    3. Uninstall Trusteer.  See #1 why.  If an antivirus program on a Mac is bad, more than one is even worse.
  • MacBook Pro is slow and DVD does not

    I have a strange situation. One of my mother's friends laid an old MacBook Pro to fix me. I don't have much experience of fixing Macs and have pretty much hit a brick wall.

    Everything on this thing is very slow right now, which is his main concern. Startup takes forever, but then everything you do once it starts up is also very slow. Even waiting for files to open, research, etc..

    She also said that a few days only before she brought to me, she had seen a DVD on it. The next day, she put another DVD in and it wouldn't work. She tried several DVDs with the same result.

    Its main use for this uses Skype to talk to a parent who lives abroad. And Skype, too, has slowed down a lot to her. She claims that this happened pretty quickly.

    Can someone tell me what is the problem and how to fix it for her? Thank you!

    Hello deacon303,

    I understand you are trying to solve the problems of someone to another mac and you need a little help who get up and running. I can point you in the right direction to continue your troubleshooting.

    Regarding the slowness, I have three articles for you to watch. The first goes on a few general suggestions on what to look for when a Mac is running slowly. Should you look to see if the hard drive is fun but also looking at activity monitor to see if an application takes a huge demand on the system. The second article is developing and using the activity monitor.  The third article will give a more comprehensive diagnosis on the verification of the startup disk. I know he's talking about what to do when a Mac does not completely start upward, but the steps are useful as well when the system seems slow.

  • Lion running on base 2011 MacBook Pro afraid of: upgrade to "El Capitan."

    I have a base 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It becomes kind of slow, but I just had it looked at. No problems. I'm afraid of a free upgrade to El Capitan as it may run more slowly. I have much stored and not in the game. Think to pay shop install for $30 Mountain Lion. Thoughts?

    There should be a reason why a Mac starts running slow.  First find the reason (s) and then upgrade.

    A good starting point is a download and publishing a report Etrecheck:

    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

    Ciao.

  • tried to upgrade my 2011 macbook pro at el captaind, now there is nothing

    tried to upgrade my 2011 macbook pro el captain and the computer has lost the os

    You did a backup before the upgrade?

  • MacBook Pro (3-inches, mid-2012) suddenly started running very slowly; Beach balls very common

    About a week and a half, it started running very slowly with the spinning beach balls popping up all the time.  This reminds me of how when I have too many tabs of the browser as in the past, but now, even with browsers had closed, open Word or Skype is really slow.  (I'm sorry for any confusing formulation; I'm not very computer customer connected, unfortunately!)

    Some of the things I've tried so far and EtreCheck below):

    -safe mode

    -detection of hardware problems (control + D)

    -reset the PRAM

    -using the utility disc for repair/first care; also check

    -wipe the hard drive and reinstalling original OS X Lion (was still slow with beach balls; I tried to install OS X El Capitan to see if that would help, but installation could not finish)

    -wipe the hard drive and restarting from a backup previous (one month before the problems started)

    EtreCheck version: 3.0.3 (307)

    Thank you in advance for your answers - I'm just at a loss for what could be the real problem!

    You Mbps HARD drive is suspect.  Start the recovery (COMMAND-R) partition and select in menu 4 disk utility.  Run disk utility > first aid > repair.

    Unrelated, but your battery has seen a lot of use.  I suggest to replace.

    Ciao.

  • Mid 2011 Mac Mini running slow/a lot of balloons of beach/HDD to research and writing

    I have a Mid 2011 Mac Mini, which runs slower than a snail's pace.  I frequently get beach balls as I type this message.  Startup time is very long, and the hard drive is often written / search/access for several minutes at random throughout the day.

    This seemed to start after I have updated to El Capitan 10.11.6.  I decided a few weeks to reinstall OS X without doing a thorough cleaning.  It did not help the situation, so I then proceeded to install the latest beta of Mac OS 10.12 to see if that helped.  Nope.  I don't think I have a bad hard drive, either.

    I have just run an EtreCheck and copied below.  Any ideas?  I don't want to run my computer at the Apple store.  Thank you!
