The keyboard is virtually mint, as my ex- used the laptop for window shopping, where-as the 11" was used to write 5 years of blog.

I only upgraded because my "upstairs" 13" Mac would not sync bookmarks with my phone and "downstairs" 11" Mac.īut the 13" is in far better condition. If I was not having interactivity issues, I'd leave it alone. After almost 4h my computer will be like new The filesystem is now APFS but I had to either reinstall the system or restore it from backup, which I did. I run my computer in Recovery Mode, unmounted primary drive, converted the filesystem into APFS and it worked. I'm just finishing restoring my MacBook from a backup (I use TimeMachine with WDM圜loud) because I followed what was meant to be "a safe option" to convert into APFS. This is only the first discussion link I followed:Īt least I can tell you what NOT to do. I hope this helps anybody who hits a similar problem.When pointed to the SSD, the system tells me "This volume is not formatted as APFS." Are you running Mojave? There seems to be an issue. If you have a USB enclosure for your internal drive, you can rule these both out at once. Performance was normal (expect it to be a little slower).

Logic Board - I installed OS X on a USB drive and booted from it.

You could also try a USB enclosure or, in a pinch, remove your optical drive and try it there.

Hard Drive - I tested my hard drive in another Macbook.

I ruled out the hard drive and logic board like this: It's only a few more steps than removing a hard drive, and iFixit has a nice guide for anyone who has this problem.īe sure you know it's the SATA cable before replacing it. The good news is, replacing it was easy (albeit a little pricey at $40). I believe the intermittent lag was caused by the faulty cable. It hadn't totally kicked the bucket, hence the computer could still boot and run fairly normally from the internal hard drive. It turns out that the issue here was a failing SATA cable.

I've ordered a replacement and I'll update this again once I've installed it. Right now I think the issue stems from the SATA cable, which may be failing. I also started running OS X off an external hard drive, and it runs perfectly (which is why I think the logic board is fine).

I tried running the hard drive through an older Macbook, and it seemed to work alright (a little slower than normal, but it's a 2008 machine that hasn't been turned on in about a year so that's to be expected). I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, knows what it is, or if there's anything I can try that I haven't.Īfter a few tests, I've ruled out the logic board and HDD. Moreover, everything works, just with crazy lag system-wide. I'd think it's a hardware problem, since a clean reinstall didn't work, but I ran the Apple Diagnostic Test and it found no problem. Nothing seems to work, there are no error messages, and I'm really annoyed. I've tried every remedy I know: restarting, repairing disk/permissions, turning off transparency, reinstalling OS X, restoring a Time Machine backup from before the problem, even clean reinstalling OS X. It usually only lasts 10-20 seconds, but it happens repeatedly. It's constantly stuttering, freezing, and hanging any time I try and do just about anything. The rainbow wheel pops up and spins any time I load a new page in Safari or Chrome, search with Spotlight, change pages in SimpleComic, change tabs in Finder, try and drag a file from one folder to another, etc. iTunes can't make it through a song without freezing up 6-7 times, VLC constantly stutters too. I restarted the computer, and the problem persisted. Sound would play while the video froze every few seconds.

It was bizarre because I was using the machine the night before without any problems, and now it was constantly stuttering while trying to play a movie on Netflix. One morning, after waking up and waking the computer from sleep mode I encountered a strange amount of lag. The hard drive (the 500 GB, regular HDD) was replaced about a year ago (close to 10 months after purchase) following a failure. I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro with the 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4GB of RAM.
