MacBook Pro slow since El Capitan upgrade

• 2011 Macbook Pro late since the SSD upgrade

  Hello world. Just a heads-up that is my first question. Also, I like to think I'm good with computers but I'm no computer programmer, so I will try to describe my problem the best I can. My friend (who does) has updated my macbook at the beginning of 2011 pro with an SSD (brand is Crucial and 480 GB). As a side note we also tried with a Kingston brand and had the same problem. I'm pretty confident, that it was installed correctly. Since the upgrade, some functions are faster. For example open Google Chrome is faster than before the upgrade. I have problems when I look at the files and the use of the files stored on my hard drive. For example, when I watch a video that is saved on my hard drive on VLC (Quicktime) it will freeze all the minutes for at least thirty seconds. Also scroll through files Finder can lead to this gel. We are not quite sure what the problem is (my friend, so that good with the Mac is more of a PC guy). I saw other people posting here and thought maybe you all could help! I noticed that EtreCheck is very popular, so I made one of these reports for more details. I appreciate any feedback you can offer

  I had a similar experience (occasional random delay of tens of seconds) upgrade my 13 "2011 MBP ("8.1"model), but my SSD was MacSales (Other World Computing). Their customer support has been excellent. They had me download and run a program of comparative analysis (Quickbench; it was free for me but apparently now costs $15) who served the SSD and allowed them to diagnose the problem as a bad 'HDD cable. I was dubious, but I went to an Apple store nearby, and after a lot of hassle, pushed them to replace the cable and that fixes the problem.

  Of course, you might have a different problem but the defective hard drive cable is apparently quite common and appears only when you use SSDS (because of the faster transfer speeds, I guess).

  As I recall (it was several years ago), the first Apple tried to make me pay $60 for the cable, more work, before they admitted he was covered under AppleCare. It is easy to replace. iFixit carry the cable and has great instructions to replace, but they seem to be out of stock at the moment (they have a button "Notify Me" for when it becomes available again). Try a local supplier of Apple authorized (use the Locator).

  When you get your SSD is working properly, I hope that you will be very happy with it. It makes a huge difference for me.

• Macbook Pro 17 "since mid-2007 update

  Hi all

  I currently have a MBP 17 "bought mid-2007.

  So far, the computer is doing well (for a 9yo computer). I just upgraded to El Capitan without problem. However, for some years now, my computer is slow (which is I guess than expected).

  I was trying to update.

  Here is the info:

  MacBook Pro (17-inch 2. 4 GHZ)

  Processor 2.4 GHZ intel core 2 Duo

  Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

  Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB

  I would be interested in upgrading my RAM and also do a SSD upgrade.

  RAM upgrade

  As I understand it, with my mac, I go to 4 GB of RAM. In this regard, I have 2 questions:

  -is it worth it for me to update the RAM (I am currently using on average 1.7 GB / 2 GB of RAM)

  Should-2x2gb RAm I buy? I looked a little, but I can't find exactly the name of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM for 2x2gb... Would be Crucial 4 GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR2-667 SODIMM memory for Macdo the trick?

  SSD upgrade

  Today, the mbp is a 160 GB SATA drive. For me, 160 GB is quite small, I'm always struggling with space when I barely programs on.

  Is it worth updating the SSD in my case?

  If so do you have any recommendations on what SSD to buy it?

  I've never updated before mac so your knowledge and your comments are very much appreciated!

  Thanking you in advance for your help

  See you soon!

  Hi Aqualover001:

  Congratulations on maintaining your Macbook Pro going for so long.

  You can actually improve your memory 6 GB. http://eShop.MacSales.com/search/MacBook+Pro+2007

  El Capitan uses a lot of memory. I have a Macbook Pro 2011 and had 4 GB of memory and found it was not enough. I upgraded to 8 GB and it works well.

  I don't know if you can add a SSD, but I found a video on installing a hard drive, but it seems a little involved. Here is a video to view. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=K9r1UAVq9AU

  Maybe someone else who has a 2007 can comment on the SSD.

• Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

  Hi all

  I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

  Thank you!

  The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

  If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

  Ciao.

• What would be the optimal OS to install on a 13 "MacBook Pro 2009?  El Capitan can be advanced to install on such an old Mac Book Pro.   Thanks for any input on this!

  El Capitan is the only one to use, clean the shit of your Mac first and if you have less than 4G of Ram, increase to 4 or more

• MacBook Pro a mess (maybe after upgrading to El Capitan)

  I need help in desperate mode.  I tried to implement everything that I know and I now return to the pros.    I have a Macbook Pro mid-2012.  The computer is still very well without any problems.   After about 3-4 weeks after the upgrade to El Capitan, I started to have problems.   I'm not sure it's related, so I don't want to blame the new version, but wanted to mention.

  The problems began with suddenly a series of cruise lines up and down my screen in vertical columns.  The computer would then closed and when I started it again, I would get three consecutive beeps.   After searching for the reason for this, I found that it was probably a RAM problem and saw messages recommending to turn on and remove two cards of memory RAM.  This would help the lines/beeps etc, but the beach ball began to spin all the time.     I ran a scan of material and everything checked, including the RAM.   I feel upgrade my RAM anyway (we stock 4 GB), so I buy new RAM and upgraded to 16 GB.   Unfortunately, this did not help to remove the rotation beach ball.   It runs the same as before, but the delay/spin isn't as long as it was before.  Seems that upgrading RAM reduces the time of "spin".

  Since the upgrade, I reset memory PRAM/NVRAM, recommended in this forum.  Did not help.   Then I booted the computer in Mode safe and also reset the SMC.   None worked.

  Then, I started in HD recovery using the command-R and repair the hard disk and permissions using first aid option in disk utility.   Nothing has changed.  Always turn the ball and beach closing my apps suddenly by itself.  The machine will be restart as suddenly about once a day for a reason any.

  The amazing thing is that the beach ball turns constantly and at the same time my activity monitor says I have 90% of free CPU while my reel becomes crazy.

  The next step on the list that I saw on the forum is to reinstall OS X.   I did not this again, because my Time Machine hangs and won't give me a recent backup.   I'm religious about backing up (about every 2-3 weeks) and my normal backups take about 30 minutes (usually leave it all night in stopping in bed).  Since this problem started, the Time Machine backup "preparedness Back Up Now" never of leaves.  I left overnight (8 hours) and still stuck in the preparation of backup mode.   I've even left for a total of 24 hours and nothing.   The only new information I have to save may not be more than 3 or 4 GBs top (just emails and documents (photos and videos are on the external drive), while certainly something will not.)

  Now that you have the story, what should I do?    I don't want to reinstall an OS X cool unless I have to, without a current backup.   This isn't the end of the world, but I would like to have the e-mails and documents that have been organized and classified over the last 2 months.

  I've seen enough of few people displaying the results of EtreCheck and to be lucky with this, so here are the results.  I don't know how to properly analyze it, but looks like I need a larger Time Machine backup drive.

  (Its the same thing I've always used, so don't know why all of a sudden it stopped allowing me to save.)   I remember that Time Machine used to give an opinion on the size of the disk when it is too small, and I got that.)

  Thank you all in advance for the help!

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• MacBook Pro slows down to a halt when plugged via magsafe.

  Hey guys.

  I had this strange problem lately, which started about 2 weeks ago.

  My Macbook Pro works perfectly as it is not plugged into the magsafe adapter.

  At the time wherever he is plugged in, it slows down to almost a halt with hiccups etc beach ball. From the MBP place goes from 15 to 20 seconds (unplugged) to 3-5 minutes (connected with magsafe)

  Now, I thought initially it was a hardware problem, but then I did a complete reformat and reinstall:

  I actually did 3 reformats full (the first two I have zero'ed my data) AND reset the SMC and the PRAM twice:

  The first reformat and reinstall brought back my MBP of El capitan to Snow Leopard. Meanwhile, first to reformat and reinstall the system, it may have showed signs of it still be afflicted by this slowness and beach ball gasp he showed before the reformat and reinstall. I kept the first reformat and reinstall for maybe 30 minutes in which I decided to reformat and reinstall once again, that I did not like the name of the Home folder.

  The second reformat and reinstall, I did notice one problem with the system, in fact it was running flawless both disconnected and connected via magsafe. I pulled up to the PS4 and played a few BF4 while I downloaded and reinstalled all the updates, then I upgraded to El Capitan. After all was said and done, I was reading how you can do a clean install of El Capitan via a USB port. I wanted to try this, so I downloaded a copy of El Capitan to a USB stick with the manufacturer of disc X and a then reformat (no zero out as starting program with El Capitan does not have it), and did a clean install of El Capitan.

  I didn't restore from back up or anything, the only thing I did was download all my iCloud data, like photos and songs etc. My system worked perfectly for about a week since the reformatting and reinstalling. He had no problem with the connected system or not.

  Now, a week later, the same problem slipped immediately came out of nowhere and the system works like crap when it is plugged. It takes 3-5 minutes to start, instead of 15 to 20 seconds when it is not plugged in. Also keep in mind, this is a new reinstall where I don't have any what garbage on my system. I didn't yet to reinstall all the games on my MBP, or anything like that, and in my opinion, this is one very bare reinstall OS. The total memory used is like 150 concerts against 350 before my first reformat and reinstall.

  So, I'm to the point where I'm racking my brain trying to figure out whether it is a hardware problem. Since the system ran a good week without this post question reformat and reinstall, it makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem. But on the flip side, since I did a reformat and reinstall, it can't be a problem of software either, especially since I didn't install anything the night before this problem appeared.

  My only hope to address this problem is I hope one of you had the same problem and have a solution. If not, it seems that I might need to get a new MBP this fall, which would be a shame this system ran flawlessly and fluidly before this annoying problem.

  Thanks in advance for any input.

  Since you mentioned the snow leopard, I understand that the MBP is an older model (2009 or almost?)... What is the status of the battery? https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201585

• MacBook pro emits 3 beeps after upgrade memory

  Hello... I am trying to improve my Macbook Pro 4 GB to 8 GB memory, however, when I start the laptop it emits 3 beeps, without loading the operating system and just keep it. I saw that others had the same question, but mine seems to be a little different.

  The Macbook I have is a mid-2009 and OSX El Capitan.

  I'm sure that's not on the Rams is not inserted properly or dusty slots etc. because when I try one of the new RAMs (4GB) with one of the old RAMs (2 GB), it works fine. In other words, I can pass it to 6 GB. But everytime I try 2 x 4 GB, it fails.

  I've tried 2 different sets of 4 GB RAM, a couple was second hand, the other Crucial nine pair. They are 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM 1600 (PC3L 12800) Rams, which seems to be the correct type.

  I already tried all of the various combinations of these 6 Rams (2 old 2 GB and 4 new 4 GB). The 'old' are still working fine. Any combination of 6 GB, regardless of the RAM use what slot, also works fine. Any combination of 8 GB does not work.

  So, I know that the Rams are ok. Slots are okay. How I insert is ok. This machine is supposed to be expandable to 8 GB. I don't know what else can be wrong. When it's 4 GB or 6 GB, it works very well, even if a bit slow since I installed El Capitan, this is why I'm upgrading from memory.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  What is the model number of your system?  Go to Apple, about this Mac menu, more info, report system.  Tell the model identifier.

  MacSales.com and crucial.com have to say the exact type you need guides of memory and they will tell you how you can really put in (Apple body tells you what they tested at the design/production, not what post-production has proved to be possible).  EveryMac.com also has lists of very good specifications on Mac.

• 2015 the Macbook Pro 13 Retina El Capitan freezes randomly

  Hello

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 2015 with the Retina display. I plug in December. It has the most recent update of El Capitan (OSX 10.11.4). I have 91.8 GB of free space on the SSD drive. Around a month ago, freezes bad has started to happen. Frost occur generally when I'm browsing Safari, I do not know if it has nothing to do with YouTube videos, but maybe it's interesting to note that I usually have a tab open in Safari that's YouTube when it happens (but not always). Today, I already had 2 freezes, before one arrived, I read an article and it happened (a YouTube tab was open in Safari, however, the video did not play for the moment when frost arrived). The second time, watched a YouTube video, and freezing that happened when I clicked on the time bar to make the video at a specific time. Frost usually occurs when I interact with something like that, opening of a new video in YouTube (such as clicking a recommendation of video on the right panel), or interact with the video itself. Note, after I restarted the computer, the previous video is one which opens in Safari, if frost has occurred during playback of the video which freezes just after I started playing.

  However, it is not only Safari which can cause freezing. There was a specific case, when I looked at the images in the Photos app. There were many of them, and I pressed the arrow left and right to navigate through them. Then he suddenly freezes the whole system, couldn't get out of the application or anything. Such a freeze is really bad, I can't interact with the computer somehow, the mouse cursor freezes, time freezes in the status bar, no Cmd + space for Spotlight, no physical reaction buttons whatsoever. Only option is to wait a few minutes (in order to clearly identify the process before and during the system failure in the newspaper), and then press and hold the power button until the machine stops.

  I thought first of all it is a software problem, I did a complete reinstallation of the system (formatted the SSD drive, downloaded Yosemite, then upgraded to El Capitan, once again). I had 2 weeks of calm, but today it happened again (2 times so far). I share the newspaper of queries system log: all messages. The last frost that happened at 13:31, and I waited until 13:37 to restart the computer. If I'm not able to detect the problem, I think I'll try to return this product, because I think that it is unacceptable for a machine that costly to freeze the whole system and lost unsaved process in Word or whatever it is.

  Thank you for your help,

  Adam

• A mid-Macbook Pro will work El Capitan OK

  I know that Apple says El Capitan will work on a Macbook Pro mid, but I was wondering this works well, because memory is limited to 4 GB.  I have a 2.2 Ghz core 2 with 4 GB of memory running 10.8.5. Everything works fine now, but Apple is no longer supported and updated security.

  After Turbo tax, I'll need to upgrade my OS to run their software for 2016, lack of support from security. Other software not Apple that I use are professional digital Canon Canon EOS Utility, Canon ImageBrowser EX, Photo Shop & Bridge CS3 which would not have long term and is the second big question after Turbo tax.  I also have a Canon i9900 printer, an Epson Artisan 837 printer and an Epson V600 Scanner. I need for my printer and scanner to work.

  My question is:

  (1) new OS works well with my old Macbook Pro or is it a stranger

  (2) recommendations on how to proceed if I upgraded the operating system. I've read a few people downloading to a card reader or thumb and run it from that as a trial.

  (3) it is time for a new Macbook Pro.

  MA895LL?

  Mid-2007?

  If this is the model, Yes, it will run 10.11.3

  It won't be great with 4 GB of RAM, in fact it will be a bit tedious if you start to tax it applications.

  You may be able to spit your boot drive in another partition and install to that partition and boot to it, this will give you the most responsive install and allow you to keep your current operating system.

  Your other option is an external drive. You can install 10.11.3 on one dedicated or external mechanical partition or disk hard SSD and boot to it.

  All other software and drivers should be analyzed to determine if they will work in the upgraded operating system, you will have to search the web and find out yourself, but several printers and scanners do not have a life long development and many of your devices may not have drivers by developers. Contact companies and ask if you can not find on the web.

  Back up your system with Time machine before continuing.
