In addition you should also disable time machibe backups and if you have something like dropbox running in the background, turn it off too.

What I've found is that the spotlight search index process (mdworker ) can completely saturate the CPU when it runs - It's on by default and you need to manually disable it when tracking because anything that gets added to the hard drive gets indexed - particular problem when tracking or processing audio.

Macbook Pro Early 2011 model - 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 (I think), 8 GB RAM.If you haven't checked yet, you should look at the activity monitor when this happens and see what's going on. Please tell me that I'm not alone with this problem? I'm never able to shut down Cubase properly, never, it always freezes! And then Cubase freezes all the time and force shuts on top of that. I've turned the buffer up to max when I'm mixing, 2000 something.

I can't make music with this Mac at all anymore. Why is my MacBook Pro so slow that it can't even play back a track inside the DAW? My CPU is at like 34434734735758855 % But the guys in the comment section started bashing him, so I don't know. I watched a youtube video where a guy stated that all you have to do is go to the settings and click on battery life or something like that and just change it from there.

I was like, I know what a CPU is, I even know what a GPS is, but this GPU thing, I'm clueless about lol! On a serious note though, I'm trying to figure out how to change the GPU now. Thank you for enlightening me about that. "Long-standing complaints that the 2011 MacBook Pro suffered from a manufacturing fault resulting in GPU glitches and failures don’t appear to be going away, as an online petition calling for Apple to fix or replace affected machines reaches more than 18,000 signatures." There used to be a variety of utilities available to control what graphics solution is used, but I haven't looked for anything compatible with more recent versions of macOS.I found this:

If this is the culprit then it shouldn't be specific to any particular activity, but will lock up under heavy use from just about any application.Īs the poster above suggested, forcing use of the integrated Intel graphics might be one workaround. The GPUs that year were notorious, and as a result Apple took care of those systems under warranty for four years from date of purchase. I have to concur regarding the 2011 MacBook Pro line.
