  • 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.

    I have a problem. I'm not very good with computers, but I know the basics. I have a Toshiba Equium with windows XP. It of my girlfriends, so when I got it was really slow with all its stuff student.

    So I deleted everything and re-installed the computer to what it would have been when it is new, but now, nothing works. Music CD and DVD does not infact everything I put in the drive does not work. The orange light is on the cd player suggesting there is a CD player, but the computer is not picking it up.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello Klark

    If the laptop is installed with the recovery media, there must be preinstalled WinDVD application and you should use it to watch original DVD movies. Have you already tested?

    If you try to use original music CD try to boot with Windows media player. It should work. You can also install the latest version (v.11). What is with mp3 files? You hear mp3 files? Seems works well?

  • The CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone, I spent the time to research on the here and the other site on why the CD/DVD does not work with El Capitan 10.11.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2009. This discussion forum has said that he will not work with the El Capitan software. Any idea or suggestion? Back to Marverick or Yosemite? I tried to use SMC reset, restart, recovery and still the same issue.

    I thank in advance.

    ~ Mike

    I have my doubts that the (10.11.5) software is the problem.  Are you sure that the DVD player is simply not defective?  Have you tried to clean the lens?  What is the State of the disc?

    Your best option may be a date at a bar in engineering of the Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

  • Startup and display does not work well.

    When I start Windows XP it takes about 4 minutes to the icons appears.  They appear of normal size and the screen turns white and the size of the icons and programs and the internet are extra-large. I go into display properties and reconfigure and find his game on 8-bit!  After configuration back to normal display and restart or turn on again the same thing happens!

    Also, I tried to do a system restore and it does not work either. Please advise me on what to do. Thank you!

    Hi RhondaHeaven,

    I suspect that your display card drivers are corrupted. You have your cd/dvd drivers? If this is not the case, download your display drivers (you will get the model and make from Device Manager - click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> device-> display adapter Manager).

    Click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> hardware-> Device Manager-> right click on your display-> Uninstall adapter.

    Uninstall display drivers Intel of add/remove programs.

    Restart your computer. Reinstall the drivers from the cd or downloaded driver.

    I hope this helps.
