DJ RANN. I just got a new hard drive put in about a month ago. I went to the apple store and they did everything for me. They put in the hard drive and then they installed osx or whatever. Do you think I still need to install everything all over again?. I really hoped to avoid that since it takes some serious hours to reinstall and register all my plug ins...
If I do a fresh install, should I take it to the apple store and have them do it?. I don't know what I'm doing at all and I'm sure I'd fuck something up. Also, yes I would be doing snow leopard again.
And for the record I wouldn't chuck my mbp, I could still use it for internet and scratch live...
Anyway thanks for the help, let me know if you still think I need to reinstall os. |
Well, a month old OSX install should not be giving you shit, but then again I wouldn't put anything past those morons at the apple store. Let's put the frsh install on hold for the time being.
So can you give me an idea of how much stuff you have installed on there?
I mean both audio programs and normal applications like word, photoshop, apps, outlook - all that other crap.
It will give me an idea of what you're throwing at your MBP and if there's any obvious suspects causing the problems.
The thing that concerns me is that there's simply no way your CPU should be registering anything close to 25% for safari, let alone 75% for safari content.
I think one of the processes is fucking up your CPU usage.
So, first thing (while the fans are making noise), open up terminal.
Type: cancel -a-
This will force clear the print queue which is a classic fan bug.
Did the fans get any better? If not, power down (not restart) and power back up and see if the fans are still noisy.
If that didn't do it open up Activity Monitor app in Utilities. Force quit Quick Look Helper.
Did that work?
Let me know how you get on and this doesn't solver it I've got a few other suggestions.
