• MacBook pro 2011 very slow to load anything, download applications, installation of El Capitan...

  I am a computer scientist, to work on a Macbook Pro 9.2 A1286 2010 client; I found first of all that it would not recognize the HD. Then, of course, first a PRAM reset.

  Still no hard drive. So I ran Apple Hardware Diags, he finds that everything was fine... but he did not check the drive, because he did not either.

  So I swapped the HD for the nine existing. Still no joy. Then, I tried the optical drive SATA port using a trolley car, and it worked.

  So, now I think to myself, I just need to replace the original HDD SATA cable.

  But in the meantime, I now use this optical drive SATA port to install an operating system.

  So I'm intstalling El Capitan... and he's going VERY slowly... said 27 minutes left, then after even 30 minutes, it says 26 remaining minutes... even for every minute of time estimated to the left. Hours trying to install what should move a lot more quickly. Two SATA ports run at the same speed, so that wouldn't make any difference.

  I have about 20 + Mbps download speed, and I d/l El Cap several times before on this same bandwidth and it goes as one might expect.

  Also, I noticed in trying to engage around all preparation of the installation, everything seemed to be in slow motion, with a lot of time-outs of spinning, before of the OS responds... even trying just to get the pop down menu, etc. It is a system with no operating system, just off the coast of the temp install DVD or USB operating system installed.

  The summary is that something in the firmware seems to be wrong. I find that there is a SMC and EFI up-to-date, but who can not install without the latest OS, so the attempt to d/l El CAP.

  I'm looking for light bulbs go out there as to what might slow down this computer that doesn't even have a hard drive running an OS yet?

  Thanks in advance for any input you may have.

• 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!

• HP Photosmart Plus B210e print is not on MacBook Pro running Lion and the use of Airport

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  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?

• Finder constantly need stimulus, freezes (Macbook pro running with the Mavericks)

  I have a macbook pro running on 10.9.5 Mavericks. I got it for a few years? Pretty smooth sailing, touch wood, except for a few days every time I try to use the finder it freezes and the screen gets corrupted look (so; it's like a picture of me trying to access my applications folder).

  

  If I use force quit to make finder restart, it will work for the first couple items, I try to find, and then do it again. I tried to delete the plist finder and reboot, but no dice. Is there something I can do?

  Wow, never heard of that before. Beautiful new computer, too.

  • Click on the padlock at the bottom on the left and enter your admin password.
  • Under the section other users to the left of the window, click Guest user.
  • Check "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
  • For ease of use, click Connection Options at the bottom and check "see the fast user switching menu under...". "The option is not serious.

  Click on your username at the top, next to the Spotlight search, and select guest user. Find out if the Finder is doing the same thing... then you can log on to the guest user account and return to your current account.
