A few other programs that are usually running in the background include: WeatherBug and Dropbox. When it happens while I watch YouTube videos, I often have a couple other tabs open at the same time, and perhaps Mail. When this happens, I usually don't have that much open. 02%-10%, the audio cuts in and out and the cursor responsiveness ducks in and out. When I've been on Skype and/or have done heavy stuff on my laptop in the past (before the last 6 months), it would get hot and the fans would be running, but it wouldn't lag like it does now. Whenever it begins to get that slow, the laptop gets very hot and the fans are running. Skype has also caused this to happen in the past too. It is a huge difference and this is why I'm stumped as to what is causing this. But, when I first started it up today and before I opened any applications, it was running at the 90-95% idle speed. After about 5-10 minutes of watching video or doing some web browsing with most websites that have some flash elements, it gets to the point where the idle % ranges between.
I'm still working on broadening my knoweledge of computers, but this problem is getting to the point where I may just surrender and take it into the Genius bar.ĭoes anyone have any ideas for what I could do to fix this problem once and for all? Any suggestions are appreciated! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, I've used programs like OnyX to clean the cache and such but this problem still happens. I have looked at activity monitor and here are some of the readings I'm getting while watching videos: The computer is slow and laggy after this point and needs to be restarted before it returns to its useful state. Once the computer begins to lag, there is usually no point of return. It never use to be this way until about 6 months ago and ever since then it has been a pain to watch YouTube videos, or any videos online for that matter. This problem also occurs when using skype with video for more than 5 minutes. I've tried using all different browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, and now I'm using Firefox) but I have the same problem on all three. I thought, and still think, this could be related to flash. I have tried multiple things to fix this. When I first start it up, it is generally normal but once I begin to do web browsing and start watching any video, it begins to lock-up and get very hot. My 13-inch mid-2010 model Macbook Pro is running slow.
