After ML upgrade, MBP mid 2010 crashes or freezes when connecting/disconnecting apple cinema display, specially when is put to sleep.
After upgrading to ML, when I connect my MBP mid 2010 to my Cinema Display system crashes, if I close the mac to put it to sleep, it freezes, if I pull the power cord and then disconnect the cinema display, it freezes to black.
Bottom line... MBP + ML + Cinema Display = Useless aluminum can.
Any Help??? .... Please????
I have exactly the same problem. I found that unplugging the Cinema display (both from the MB and power) and re-connecting did exactly nothing, but that the MS Windows solution works: Reboot your machine.
Note: the problem comes up when the display sleeps, not the computer.
We are really making progress here with the evolution of OSX! NOT!

MBP freezing when connecting to my Cinema Display
My MBP (mid-2010 i7) has been locking up when I connect it to my display via mini-display port.
Usually the MBP is in sleep mode and closed when I connect it. The display will then show my laptop screen but locks up afterwards. It also seems like this problem is progressively getting worse.
I've tried to change the options around thinking that perhaps this was related to graphics switching since I tend to plug in the power connection at about the same time.
Any help/ideas? Thanks.Similar problem here...my sitch:
External HD w/35GB of music, was only able to get on onto 80GB iPod using auto-sync. Trying to remount to load other music, photos, contacts, etc. but iTunes & iPod lock whenever I connect and then locks the PC. It's either trying to resync and then locking or just locking for some other reason. Tried holding Crtl/Alt while mounting, also tried connecting iPod & external HD and starting iTunes in all possible sequences but same result.
Despite taking a beating the iPod still has the music (knock wood) but I can't do anything else with it now. Any suggestions?
Is it me or does the proprietary sh*t b/w iTunes & iPod su*k a*s? Why can't the files just be transferred using explorer? -

The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
Any further assistance will be appreciated -
Can I system restore a purchased mbp mid 2010 but keep the upgraded OS?
I purchased a used MBP mid 2010 and had the seller meet me at the apple store. After I verified the computer was not stolen I asked to have it factory wiped, but they said I needed an appointment. Now I've read directions on this forum on how to restore it myself, is it the same technique they use in the store? Can I restore this machine and keep mavericks or must it be restored to the original OS?
fastcash124,
when Mavericks is downloaded from the Mac App Store, it is non-transferable; the seller should have wiped it from the internal drive before selling it to you. Once you’ve done a clean reïnstallation of Snow Leopard and run Software Update to get it to Mac OS X 10.6.8, you can then download and install your own (non-transferable) copy of Mavericks from the Mac App Store. -
My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.
My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
Thanks in adavnce for help.Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update. -
Has anybody had problems upgrading MBP 13inch (2010) to 8Gb RAM?
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the Apple Support Communities. I've searched the discussions on this issue but couldn't find something exactly the same. I installed two 4Gb, PC3-8500 DDR3-1066MHz memory sticks in my MacBook Pro 13 inch (2010 model), but it wouldn't boot up. I then re-installed one of my old stock 2Gb sticks and the MacBook Pro booted and showed 6Gb memory under System Profiler. The memory runs fine and I've checked the RAM using Rember and it passes all the tests. I've had no freezes or other weird behaviour on the MBP with the 6Gb configuration but I just can't get it to boot with both 4Gb sticks installed. Does anybody know what's going on here?
Thanks!I have exactly the same problem like you, just got my new 8gb (4gbx2) DDR3-1067Mhz, PC3-8500 from Vgen and I can't use both ram in my mid 2010 mackbook pro. I've checked the requirements before buying the ram with apple support and bought the ram as suggested by apple support regarding ram upgrading (I also read some posts saying that some people who upgrade the ram with 4GBx2 PC3-10600 instead of PC3-8500 had problem to boot but it boots fine if they combine 1 PC3-8500 + 1 PC3-10600). funny and wierd thing is both new ram are working fine because I tried to combine each new ram + 1 stock ram and they were installed fine, clockspeed is correct which is PC3-8500..I contacted apple store and they ask me to do the reset parameter ( Hold 'Option' + Command + P + R then boot, keep holding until you heard 'dong' sound twice and then release) but still not working either.
Then I also try to install only 1 single ram, both old stock ram were booting but both new ram won't boot...the only working method is to install 1 stock ram + 1 new ram (total only 6 GB of Ram)...this is really frustrating and it's ******* me off because I have followed instruction and bought the exact ram as required and suggested by apple and it's not working....**** it....how can thing like this happen..geez...Please somebody from apple explain this and give us solution...
Note : since bought items are not refundable so I try to call the store where I bought the new ram and had them agree to replace 1 pcs 4GB PC3-8500 ram with PC3-10600 ram and will see if it works with 2 different clockspeed Ram installed in my MBP Mid 2010 and will post the result again later after.

MBP mid 2010 - 15" 2,4Ghz (Battery Problem)
Hi guys.
I have a MBP mid 2010. My battery wont last more that 4.30 hours.
I have tried more than enough times to test' it.
Last Night with fully charged battery I was able to get 4.40 Hours.
Bluetooth OFF
Low monitor brightness
Low keyboard illumination
Air Port was on.
Basically web browsing and 4 or 5 youtube videos.
Did not make any software instalation or updates.
4.30 hours its just to low.
BTW it as 37 full charges
My work laptop wich is a Dell Latitude E6400 with a 9cell battery I get more than 5 hours. And it as way more full charge cycles.Certainly not... but I'd rather source a complete antiglare clamshell lid and slap it on myself thus upgrading the machine, as long as I know I wouldn't have to replace the logic board as well... I've done plenty of surgery on notebooks, from removing a stuck business-card shaped CD from a 12" PowerBook G4 (requiring *complete* disassembly of the machine) to swapping ThinkPad T61 motherboards into T60 chassis creating a 15" 4:3 IPS FrankenPad which can take 8GB of ram... so I can handle swapping a display.
Local apple store hasn't told me clearly whether or not it's possible, just that they will only replace it with the original screen...
I can only find one logic board part # for a 2.4GHz mid-2010 15" MBP, which suggests to me that upgrading the screen should be no problem, but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it or can give a definitive answer as to whether or not it's possible... -
What screw size do I need for the HDD data cable in 15" MBP (mid-2010)?
In what turned out to be the most frustrating night of my life, I decided to upgrade my mid-2010 15" MBP from the factory 256GB HDD to a 1TB drive. All was well until the ultra-cheap internal screws stripped, which I have heard is a big problem. I finally got the mounts out with a little force, and then accidentally tore the HDD data cable.
So when I tried to unscrew the small screws with precision and care to replace the data cable, those screws ALSO stripped. I managed to get one out, but the other one was stuck, and even the Genius at Apple said they couldn't do anything for me because their methods of extraction could possibly ruin my upper case.
So I ended up just cutting the rest of the HDD cord around the last remaining stuck screw. I've included a picture below, the screw that remains is the one with the red circle around it.
So the real question: I lost the other screw, so I have no idea what size it is and if I can buy it from a local hardware or electronics store, or is it something I will need to special order?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Signed,
Screwed by a simple harddrive replacementHey Courcoul, thanks for your response. I saw that they have the screw set, but I want to avoid paying $60 for the whole set when all I need is the two tiny ones. Sure, I could keep the rest as spares, but I think I've learned my lesson about messing with the internals.
Actually, it's out of stock so I couldn't buy it if I wanted -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 8 GB of RAM. You can buy RAM at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
As your MacBook Pro has got two slots of memory, you will have to replace your actual memory and install two slots of 4 GB. Follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link6 -

Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
Clinton
