Macbook Pro having many OS issues
Hello, since upgrading to Lion on my Macbook pro I've been having numerous issues related to the operating system. The issues started with the laptop not handling waking from sleep very well. Sometimes there would be a persistent black screen, othertimes the login box would not appear and I'd either have to wait for a while, press various keys, or reclose the screen and reopen it after a few minutes. Then I began to have pretty subpar performance with various applications. This could be anywhere from using very low intensity programs like just safari, pages and iTunes, to just using Photoshop or just using Aperture. My macbook is the second most recent 15'' Macbook Pro (2.66 GHz) with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM... so I don't think it's an insufficient or faulty hardware issue. Now, along with the waking issues and inconsistent performance, I've started to have other interface issues. I will be randomly logged out, my folders on the sidebar of the Finder have dissapeared. I've restarted numerous times and checked for updates consistently. I've been a Mac user for a very long time and have never had any issues with performance like these ones. Reminds me of the few, but cursed times when I have to boot into Windows! đ
