Time for a new MBP

[AnnaCody]

I'm wondering if someone could take a look at this Etrecheck. And tell me if it's time to replace this before it crashes for the last time. I don't know if this is in the report but Photos crashes within minutes. Tried most fixes posted online, none worked for long. Complete crashes occur a lot when there is flashing videos on FF or Safara and AMZN movies crash it. Uninstalled Boom, made no difference. Thanks so much.

I don't know what you have tried but if this were my computer before I went looking for a newer model I would try the following:

1. Reset SMC and NVRAM
2 Download and run Onyx - be sure and get the version that matches your version of OS X. It is free. Run the automation (maintenance) selection. It fix a lot of issues.
3. If all that fails - reinstall OS X fresh. Be sure to backup everything first.

You may have an app acting up. This also could be an overheating issue. I have had to re-apply thermal paste to heat sinks before. The thermal paste will dry out over the years. It is not an easy repair.

If #1-3 does not fix your issues then you might be ready to go shopping!

Thanks so much for this info. RE: the SMC: My MBP has a removable battery but I have to open it up, take out some screws (IIRC), then close it up. Is that necessary or can I use the other method? Thanks again!

 

[lclev]

Nope - must remove the screws! Check out the ifixit guide: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Battery+Replacement/4300

I have put new batteries in a 2009 Macbook and a 2011 Macbook Pro. It is not that bad. I picked up a cheap kit at Fry's Electronics with all the little screw heads and a changeable handle - I think I paid less than $20 for it.

If you do chose to replace it make sure you do not get a cheap one. I have found they can be a problem. Expect to pay $90-$100 for a good one.

I was asking if I needed to remove the battery in order to do the SMC procedure. I put a new one in 3 years ago and as you say it was easy. Just don't want to remove it to do the SMC if it's not necessary. So sorry for the confusion.

Your main drive is too full. Best practice is to keep around 20% free space. That and your TM drive being too small will give problems. Also you should have Trim enabled.

Thank you. I've cleaned as much as I can except for Photos. And I hate to put that on an external drive because I refer to it a lot. Things did get better when I put in the SSD. But now....it's full too My gut tells me to say good-bye to this one since it won't take a bigger SSD.

No need to take the cover off to rest the SMC. Intructions here.

 

[Weaselboy]

I'm wondering if someone could take a look at this Etrecheck.

You have a LOT of third party launch items running there, and any of those may be causing the problem. Try rebooting while holding the shift key to boot into safe mode. That stops all launch and startup items from running. Then test for a bit and see if that fixes things. If it does, then you can start removing those items to find the culprit.

That's good news. I'll get that done ASAP! Thanks!

I do know I have only 2 start ups....last time I checked. Is there a way to see a list of the 'launch' items without working in safe mode? Thanks!

I use external drives all the time, both for system back up and storage of photos and video. This is a handy no clutter way of using a bare drive or you could get a drive dock from B&H as well

You have way more than two. There is far more to startup items than the ones listed in that login window.

You have a lot of launch items in these folders. You can see them all in the Etrecheck report.

Try the safe mode boot just to test to see if that fixes it, then you know if that is the problem.

I would do that for sure. However, I use my MBP on my lap so all those external cables would get in the way. I hate that the new MBP's no longer have a DVD drive. I'll really miss that as I watch a lot of movies on borrowed DVD's from the library. Having to use an external drive for that will be enough.

Sheesh, when will I learn that what is reported on these systems isn't always the whole story. Thanks, I guess I'll have to do that.
