Thread Starter 
Lately my macbook pro has been having decreasing performance and decrasing battery life. When doing normal things like i used to when i first got my macbook pro, it is so slow and apples version of the "hour glass" always pops up when its taking time to open new programs or perform certain tasks. ALso, my batter life SUCKS. When it is charged it will last about 10 minutes. It used to last for hours.

Whats up with this? Is there anything I can do?

thanks....sorry...im not a computer genius

If your battery is going from a full charge(Shown as charged while it is plugged in) to empty in a matter of 10 minutes, you need to take advantage of applecare and get a new battery for it. Take it in to a local apple store if one is near you. At the same time get them to check and see why the performance is so low.

I agree about taking the battery back but as to performance: download Maintenance from here and give it a run.

Heh I said that primarily as I find it much easier to troubleshoot problems like that at the computer, and since it had to be taken abck anyways

But a good tip none the less.
