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.

  • Very slow Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012

    Hello world! I'm not savvy at all, so my apologies if something is not clear in my message below.

    Data sheet:

    MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012)

    OS X Yosemite: Version 10.10.5

    Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

    Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Storage: 139.3/499.25 GB in use; 359,95 GB free

    For the last two weeks, my Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) has been extremely slow. The colorful beachball (aka the wheel of death) often shows up, even when I'm just trying to type something, such as now (I'll have to type really slowly, so it can track). This slowness came very suddenly.

    I tried resetting SMC/NVRAM, repair disk permissions, then by restarting in safe mode, but the problem persists (I also tried to upgrade to El Capitan, but was met with a loop of reboot delicious and recovered my time machine backup again to the recovery mode). I think I can also try to reindex spotlight, but I may or may not succeed.

    I was not able to create a Time Machine backup successfully for the last month, because it gets stuck on "preparing for backup...". "(not sure if this could be related). I also wanted to point out that Dropbox is one of my startup items, but I got it for centuries, and it has never been my Macbook it ridiculously slow. Before this slowness, I would leave it and my Macbook would be back up to speed. I also tried to remove the list of startup items and slowness persists even after rebooting.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

    Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

    Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    is there anyone with a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 that the use of el capitan?

    I want to improve my macbook to mavericks in el capitan, but my friend told me not to do. Because she just update its macbook (same model with mine) and it becomes slower than before (yosemite).

    Is there anyone with the same problem? Or maybe another problem after upgrade to el capitan?

    It works perfectly with EC is that you have enough memory. I say that at least 8 GB is necessary. 4 GB is very marginal.

    Hi James,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you are having these problems with your MacBook Pro. I'm a bit ambiguous on the screen exactly who you see when you log in, but according to your description it looks that your computer may be involuntarily go to sleep. If this is the case, you can find the troubleshooting steps in the following article useful:

    If your Mac does not sleep or wake up when expected - Apple supports

    As mentioned in this article, another possibility on laptops like the MacBook Pro is that the screen closed sensor may be triggered unintentionally. There is a small magnetic sensor in portable computers and sometimes, being close to things like briefcases magnetic closure or magnetic jewelry can cause him to think that the display was closed, which then puts the machine in a locked sleep state. If possible, you can test the issue on an office open without any potential source of interference.

    Have you tried booting in Safe Mode? If you can start check safe mode to see if the problems you described have stopped. If they are stopped, and then restart the computer normally. What happens then?

  • Mail crashes when you delete an email, sparking a boot, running El Capitan on a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid-2012.

    Mail, Version 9.2 (3112), crashes when you delete an email, sparking a boot on a MacBook Pro running E Capitan, 13-inch, mid-2012, is 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, memory is 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 and trash is clear. It's frustrating! I was unable to copy a part of the final report to include and cannot find where are stored copies of the reported errors. Thank you!

    Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

    Then try to delete an e-mail message.

  • Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012

    Hello...

    I im experiencing some major performance issues on my Mac Book Pro 13 mid 2012 thumb and would really like to move to 16 GB of memory Ram and an SSD.

    That someone has or has had experience with the mise a niveau of this model... or the upgrade in general and running on some issues.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Best

    Assuming that it is a model identifier 9.2, it will accept the 16 GB of RAM and an SSD will improve its overall performance.  The best sources for RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.  Based on reputation and personal experience, OWC and Crucial get my nod for SSDS as well.

    You will need to decide if the higher cost for one SSD worth it. compared to a classic HARD disk if the bank account is fat, do.  I have.

    Ciao.

  • I need help on my macbook pro i5 13inch mid 2012 model when I open all black screen

    I stopped just my macbook pro, when I open all the black screen but it has power... can I bring it to apple store to fix. How will they charge?

    The cost will be dependent on what may be wrong.  It could be the GPU or the screen is who is several hundred dollars.  It could be the connection of the screen, which will be very little costly to repair or even for free if only the connection is loose.

    Foe a final quote, bring the product to an Apple store genius bar.

    Ciao.

  • El Capitan 10.11.6 freezes on MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012)

    After the update of 10.11.5 10.11.6 I noticed that my macbook started to freeze just without reason. It freezes on the basic actions like the click on the right button of the mouse, keyboard typing, switching between apps, etc. "Activity Monitor" shows very low use of the CPU, RAM and HARD drive. I tried to install El Capitan from scratch with a full erase of volume but freezes appear always. Previously on 10.11.5 everything worked pretty quickly.

    Here is my system hardware:

    Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    SSD: SanDisk SDSSDHII480G

    Hello no,

    It seems like your Mac knows after update to El Capitan version 10.11.6, frequent crashes. Even after a reinstall full Mac OS x. If this is the case, you can try to start the Mac in safe mode.

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    If the freeze occurs in safe mode, please try resetting the SMC.

    The MSC is responsible for these and other functions of low-level on Mac Intel processor:

    • Respond to the pressures on the power button
    • Meet the display of opening and closing on portable Macs
    • Battery management
    • Thermal management
    • The SMS (motion sensor sudden)
    • Detection of ambient light
    • The keyboard backlight
    • The status indicator light (SIL) management
    • Battery status lights
    • Selection of an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    These procedures should be your Mac works well in no time at all. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Have a great day.

  • How to get the new logic board with 16 GB of RAM for my Macbook Pro retina 15 mid 2012?

    1 month ago I brought my Macbook to the Apple Store Genius Bar to check the GPU because I was worried about small lines on a screen while playing games.

    After 3 days of test engineering guys gave her back to me and told me that there is nothing they can do in this regard, because was unable to reproduce the problem, but gave me an option - completely replace the logic board for 700CAD. At first, I said NO, but also asked them, if they can replace the logic board, but with 16 GB instead of 8 GB, I immediately. I'll have to pay the money anyway, right? Why not?

    Long story short - they told me that they cannot do and can replace the logic board with the same RAM mount my Macbook at the present time. Specialists support Apple tells me the same thing via Chat application on the Apple Web site. Funniest - none of them could give a reasonable answer why they cannot do so.

    It's the same logic board, with the same size, but with more RAM.

    I understand that they need to sell more laptops and, if I need more RAM, I can go and buy the new Macbook, but to be honest, as an International Student I simply don't have so much money.

    So why can't they do it?

    You deal with politics Apple and no one on these forums can do something for you, since we are like you, only users of Apple products.

    Consider selling your MBP and put money to one with 16 GB of RAM.
