• MacBook Pro random high utilization of the processor (iCoreService/DCAManager using + 400% CPU?)

  Hello

  I'm running an Early 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with a 2.2 GHZ Quad Core i7 processor 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and 16 GB of RAM Crucial. I noticed for about a month, I'm going to do a simple task or two on my Mac, then all of a sudden I noticed spikes CPU temporary, 90 + degrees C and the kick of fans trying to cool high speed. Well, I don't know why this is happening when I do nothing to justify a high utilization of the processor. I'm used to the CPU running hot when I do something intensive graphic as running Autodesk Inventor CAD software, run a machine virtual or even watch a 1080 p @ 60 fps video on youtube (it is the lowest resolution that requires the Mac switch to the dedicated AMD Radeon 6750 M GPU that usually eventually warm it quickly) , but this use high random that happens when I have Mail open in the background, and one tab open with a 720 p @ 30 fps video Youtube open (or even less). I took a few screenshots of the activity Manager indicating the best processes and Intel Power Gadget indicating the temperature of the CPU:

  

  

  

  Does anyone know what are iCoreService and/or DCAManager and why they use so much of my CPU when this happens? And someone has encountered this weird behavior before? Thanks in advance!

  The most likely cause is an applicztion you have running that is corrupt and forcing them to use the CPU too. Were you able to kill the process in activity monitor? If you have not yet tried to do, so I'll try that first. I would also try to quit all open applications.

  If you start the computer in Safe Mode , you can test if the problem is still there. If it isn't, usually means something that is managed by you start-up or an application that you use may be the cause.

• Buying a new macbook pro - RAM is more important? What is Core i5 processor?

  I plan to buy a new macbook and can't know if I should get 13 inches 2.66 GHz dual core with an upgrade to 8 GB of ram, or rather to get Core i5 15 inch 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of ram.  I move from a PC.  Only use VMWare Fusion mainly for MSoffice (MS Word/Excel) and Outlook. Messages I've read seem to collide on the RAM, many say its more important for VMWare, others say max 1 GB allocated and that too allocated at startup of Windows actually degrades performance. Any guidance appreciated!

  Hi Jossol. Personally, I would say that still more RAM the better when it comes to a desktop based vm environment. I run a Core2Duo 2 GHz with only 2 GB of RAM on a test machine and the CPU is barely affected. It's the same in our environment ESX, RAM is being consumed at a rate much higher than CPU, especially if just using a virtual machine with office etc.

  However, to be honest, it sounds as if the two options will do what you want with very little trouble. As a processor is generally much more expensive upgrade RAM (generally less expensive and more convenient to buy a new laptop) it might be the best option to go with the i5 Core option now and then upgrade of RAM when the next version of Windows arrives and is linked to more memory to run the application.

• MacBook pro RAM upgrade

  I have mid-2012 13 inch Macbook Pro. I used it for a year in India. But it's somehow slows down. I have a 4GB 1600 Mhz RAM installed. I think to be upgraded to 8 GB. He face any problem of heating on the upgrade of RAM? About how many dollars will I have to pay for it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Akshay,

  You should have no problem with the heating problems by upgrading the RAM, if you use good RAM.

  With respect to costs in India, I'm not sure.

  You can check out OWC or Crucial for fixing prices and product, they are compatible RAM known providers. I don't know if they ship to the India. You can also contact Apple service provider to see if they have produced for you.

• 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

  I have the same machine and had the same problem, my MacBook Pro is faster than ever.

• Slow start after MacBook Pro mid 2012 Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD upgrade

  Hi dude, I would ask why, after I upgraded my MacBook Pro mid 2012 at Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD, my MacBook Pro take more than an hour at the system boot? The purpose of my mac said the SSD (S.M.A.R.T. is checked) and RAM information. I also restart the EL Capitan already.

  Is - this problem is hardware or software?

  Did you properly prepare the new SSD?

  Install OS X using the recovery network

  Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

  Start on the recovery of the network server:

  Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND + OPTION + R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15 - 20 minutes - until the main recovery menu appears.

  Partition and format the hard disk:

  1. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
  2. After load of THE select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entrance Out-dented with the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.
  3. Under the scheme of titled Volume set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete. To leave and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

  This should restore the version of OS X, originally installed on the computer.

• Adobe CS6 Illustrator will not open on MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8

  I just installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on my MacBook Pro running OS10.6.8. InDesign open very well, but in the dock, Illustrator and Photoshop have diagonal lines through them. I tried to open Illustrator and received this message: "Unable to open Adobe Illustrator CS6 application because it is not supported on this type of Mac." My MacBook Pro is 3-4 years old - 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, model identifier: MacBook Pro1, 1. I double checked the operating system required by 10.6.8 CS6 and it is.

  System requirements... Processor multi-core Intel with 64-bit support

  Core Duo processors don't support 64-bit. Basically, if you can run OS 10.7, CS6 apps are very good. Your machine will work not 10.7 (due to lack of 64 bit support). You need to a Core 2 Duo or higher. If you indeed have a processor Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro, much older than 3 or 4 years. The Core Duo MacBookPros were machines of 2006.

• MacBook Pro 13 inch end 2011

  I recently updated my late 2011 13' macbook pro RAM and added a second HDD. After that I did it, my laptop started to crash on a regular basis about once a day. It hangs at random times, so I'm under no specific request. It crashes when running itunes or google chrome or practically any application. I have eliminated the possibility of the problem being the RAM, by replacing the old 4 GB of RAM, and the problem continued. Then, I thought the problem was the hard drive caddy. I removed the caddy and the problem persisted. Now, I don't really know what the problem is. Every accident is made up of the laptop graphics are distorted and freezing and 3 beep sequence which indicates a memory problem. Whenever it crashes, I remember the exact time and when I restart my laptop, I check the console and each time there is no trace of what either for at least 30 seconds before the crash. I ran 2 tests of material, and he said everything is fine and it seems that I ran out of possible problems, except for the logical card being the issue.

  If anyone has a wisdom on this subject, please help me.

  If you go into the Console > user Diagnostic reports AND System Diagnostics, it is something listed there?

  If there is a hardware problem so all events recorded in these places.

  Also, try to reset the NVRAM on your machine:

• 2015 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz > 16GB RAM 1 TB > PCIe SSD > overheating with Thunderbolt Display 27 "> Constant MAX RPM fan speed

  Hello community,

  First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

  Professional background:

  I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

  Laptop Usecase:

  Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

  I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

  Question:

  I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

  The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

  After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

  So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?

  
  

  * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

  I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

  1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

  2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

  3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

  4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

  5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

  My thoughts:

  I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

  I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

  PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

  If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

  Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

  Thank you

  Everyone from Apple have a preview? I am pretty surprised to have not received a response.

  Please help me out here.

• 2011 15 "Macbook pro more low ram slot machine does not work. 3 beeps every time I start up my Mac.

  Hey guys,.

  Then Ive met this weird problem with my mac. While I was using the Mac at work for like 4 hours without interruption and then when it was time to go home, I just put the screen down and put the Mac to sleep. When I opened the Mac at home, he started with 3 beeps and it wouldn't start.

  After having panic for like half an hour, so I decided to take google on this issue. I found many queries, but nothing like mine. So I opened the back panel of the Macbook, deleted the two Rams and re-sitting (like one of the posts on google said to do) twice but it still did not work. I took off the piston down and tried to turn on a single cylinder high and it worked.

  A bit of history, Apple had this quality control program where all 2011 Macbook pros affected by a defective video card can have their logic boards changed for free by taking it to apple. My macbook was one of them and apple genius guys changed the logic board. Long and behold, after six months the lower slot of Bank ram has stopped working. My question is, can I use the Apple since its only six months, and if I order a new Board of the logic on their part, what are the chances that this will not happen?

  Any past experiences you guys could share to help me would be greatly appreciated.

  My question is, do I use with apple since its only been six months

  This is a user to user forum.  We are not employees of Apple.  Some users like you.  You will need to ask your question directly from the horses mouth.

  Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273.  Ask politely and firmly that you want to transfer to customer relationships.  Tell them exactly what you said in your post.  See what they can do for you!

  Good luck!

  If I order a new Board of the logic on their part, What are the chances that this will not happen?

  A good fortuneteller adventure can answer this one!  FWIW, I had mine replaced guarantee also that extended repair program had expired for FREE3 or 4 years ago.  My MBP 2008 is till going strong.
