Download SD card on Late 2011 Macbook Pro with iPhoto 9.6

I am on a 13 inch late 2011 Macbook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1, using iPhoto 9.6.   When I download photos straight from the SD card to iPhoto some of my photos come out like this.  They are good on the SD card and if I reload them 1-3 times they turn out okay.  I use an external hard drive, but I switched back to loading them on my hard drive to see if that would resolve the issue, they still loaded like below.  I have tried different SD cards, different cables (on external HD).  Any ideas?

  They are good on the SD card and if I reload them 1-3 times they turn out okay.
Are JPEGs also corrupted?
If  only some RAW files that are corrupted, and if the results are random, it looks more likely a hardware problem than a problem with the RAW support. I recommend to make an extra backup of your mac, just in case. And then test your drives and the memory. It might also be the USB port.

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro with SSD Freezing

    Hello,
    I have a late 2011 macbook pro and about six or so months ago I have it a new lease on live with a Samsung 840 SSD (non pro).
    I haven't really had any problems with that until recently - the machine started locking up on wakeup. This meant that the beachball of doom would start and each program would gradually in turn become unresponsive. Shutdown command wouldn't work and would time out, force quit wouldn't open, and although I could move the mouse around and sometimes switch between programs, they didn't work and the only cure was to hold the power button until it switched off.
    This has also started happening just when the computer has been on for a certain amount of time *without sleeping*. For example, if I watch an episode of a tv show, by the end of it the video is still running but all of the other programs are locked up - clicking out of VLC causes the beachball of doom. This also happens in other programs - it's even happened as I've been writing this, and the only remedy seems to be a hard restart.
    The problem doesn't seem to occur in windows. In OSX I have 'put hard drives to sleep' turned off, and TRIM enabled. I also disables the sudden movement sensor. I have also reset the SMC.
    Does anyone know of a remedy short of a full reinstall of Mountain Lion?
    Oh and I used samsung magician in windows to update the firmware of the drive. It reports that the drive should be fine.
    Thanks very much for any help anyone can give me with this!

    anything is possible - corrupt files - corrupt drivers - it could be anything.
    try doing a nvram/pram reset and see if that sorts it out.
    i have ssd installed in all my Macbook/Macbook Pro and have never had any issues.
    Then again, I don't have windows installed in any of them.
    hopefully the nvram/pram reset sorts it out for you.
    once you've done that reset - go back to system preferences - startup disk and select your ssd as the startup drive again - then restart it again.

  • I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with 10.7..5 what is the next upgrade for this?

    MacBook Pro 10.7. 5 late 2011 next upgrade

    Another upgrade which may come first if not already, is to RAM with an increase in total capacity.
    Maximum Memory    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    •MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory - Apple Support
    An example of reputable upgrade RAM source of matching spec to Late 2011 MacBook Pro:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM
    Given Mavericks OS X 10.9.5 is said to no longer be available, you may wish to try your luck first
    with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 just in case your older computer does not like Yosemite 10.10.1. From
    what I understand, you'd likely pay a fee to get & use Mt Lion. That may be worth it, if the unit
    does not prefer Yosemite; and it may be difficult to revert to an older one after installing 10.10.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT204032 Late 2011 MacBook Pro Power Nap

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with a SSD from factory. Is there a way for me to have the power nap feature? I have tried the new firmware for the retina MBP but will not work. Theoretically there is no reason it can't work on the device I have 8gb RAM and a 256GB Solid State Drive.

    Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update.

    Sorry ... I read but was unfortunately distracted from your original post.  You have a system that came with Lion.  The Lion that is on your system is only for your computer and cannot be downloaded from the app store again because you never purchased it officially through the App Store.
    Try this for making an external USB/DVD copy of Recovery on an external disk.  internet is still required for reinstall, though, I believe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848.  But at least you have a separate Recovery Partition if you ever need a fully new and empty internal disk.
    Your assumption is incorrect. Although he may not be able to download it from the App store he can download it directly for the Apple servers using the recovery partition on his original drive.
    All you have to do is start the install routine and then point the install to an external hard drive. Once the download is finished the computer will reboot to start the install. At that reboot disconnect the external drive so the install can not start. Boot the computer back into the OS on the internal hard drive, which is what will happen automatically once the external drive is disconnected. Then connect the external and copy the files from it that were downloaded. Right click on that downloaded package file and select Show contents. In the contents of that package is a file called InstallESD.DMG. Copy that file out of the package and burn it down to a DVD or USB thumb drive and you now have the Full Lion Installer. I have several of them laying around on different hard drives and 2 USB thumb drives which I have used to reinstall Lion on my 15" MBP.
    Sorry OP I should of just typed this out in my first post.

  • I have a late 2011 macbook pro and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated

    I have a late 2011 macbook pro running OSX Lion, and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated. Im wondering what can i do to stop this or get it to update.

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • Upgrading graphics card and ram on late 2011 macbook pro?

    Hi. I have a late 2011 macbook pro, and I wanted to know if i could upgrade my graphics card and ram for better performance while gaming. I play WoW and diablo 3 and often notice lag and can only run on low settings. So my graphics are Intel HD 3000 which is integrated, and i was wondering if i could upgrade to a graphics card like AMD or nvidia. Also, would upgrading from 4 gb of ram to 8gb of ram help my performance? Thanks.

    You cannot upgrade the graphics card on your MBP. It is soldered to the logic board.
    RAM can be increased to 8 or 16 GB.  The correct specifications are;  204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    The best vendors for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    Ciao.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro stuck at spinning wheel of death after a Thunderbolt issue, HD erasing and fresh Lion install from Recovery HD. Please help me!!!

    So, I think the title says it all, but to give you a little more info:
    I connected my late 2011 MacBook Pro to my TV using a Thunderbolt HDMI adapter, and closed the lid. When I opened it, it wouldn't show the login screen, so I restarted using power button. Got stuck at the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. So I booted the Recovery HD and found out it was a HD problem, so I (reluctantly) erased the HD and installed Lion from scratch. When it rebooted (after DOWNLOADING the Lion components) I got some terminal commands (sorry for not being more specific, still a noob when it comes to Mac) and then the screen faded and a message appeared saying I needed to reboot the computer. So I did. 3 effing times. Then I got stuck AGAIN at the spinning wheel, and I'm currently with that on my screen. I'm trying the forums before calling Apple (my computer's still within the 90 days of warranty) because it's not yet 9 A.M. where I live

    can you go back to recovery mode then open disk utility.
    in disk utility, higlight the disk, the one saying the brand and size then click on repair disk under first aid tab
    if it repairs fine, that's okay
    if repair was not successful, go to partition and change current to 1 partition then apply
    install lion again
    hope this helps

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro iPhoto 9.2.2 Graphical Glitch

    Please see the following video I have posted on youtube. The problem is happening on the late 2011 13"inch Macbook Pro with intel 3000 HD graphics. The problem is limited to iPhoto window. Is it a faulty GPU? or a Software problem?
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9m1FD6MYs0&feature=youtu.be
    Any feedback will be welcomed.
    Thanks

    If anyone has the same setup. Then I would love to know if you have the same problem.  I have included the steps that recreate the problem. I have sent a bug report to Apple about this, but I am still not sure if this is a hardware issue or a software one.
    I believe this glitch is specific to the Intel 3000 HD graphics card, as I am unable to replicate the problem on a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro or a Late 2009 iMac.
    My Setup:
    A) Late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz with Intel 3000 HD graphics.
    B) iPod touch 4th Gen 8GB, Original iPad 16GB, SDHC 4Gb Card
    I have been able to replicate 3 times out of 5 this glitch by following these steps.
    1) Connect your iPod touch or iPad or SDHC card to your Macbook Pro.
    2) Wait for iPhoto to launch.
    3)Once iPhoto is launched. Select iPhoto from the Menu bar and click EXIT iphoto.
    4) Relaunch iPhoto since your iPod touch or iPad or SDHC card is still connected, iPhoto will show you device photos first. Deselect that by:-
    5) Clicking on Photos option under Library and then hovering mouse over your Photos. The glitch should show up.
    6) Quit iPhoto
    7) Relaunch iPhoto
    8) Deselect Device photos by clicking on Photos under Library
    9) Hover mouse over Library Photos. The glitch should be still present.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install

    After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?

    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button.

  • 13-inch, Late 2011 Macbook Pro and Thunderbold Display...

    Hello Dear Users,
    First I wish you have a nice new year with full of health, happiness and wealth, then i am asking my question:
    I am using a 13-inch, Late 2011 MacBook Pro having
    Processor  2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 2 cores+2 HTs
    Memory  16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    specifications, setup with double Thunderbold Displays.
    I sometimes feel that mac's display performance is marvelous and sometimes I feel like I am looking at an old school, blury screen. Is there anybody feels like I feel. I have doubts about screen performance. Well I searched on internet before to write but I could not express what I feel on google search for example. So, I am writing here what I feel. Sorry for my English if I could not express what I meant.
    Thak you, and have a nice new year.....
    Levent

    I've been having the exact same issue, same monitor and same laptop.  I spoke to a couple Apple techs on the phone and took my mbp to a genius bar last night, thinking it might be a video card issue since the blocks were also showing up on my macbook's screen. It of course failed to replicate at the store, even with a TB display hooked up.
    After this I finally realized it was an issue with the monitor and not the laptop, since it only happened when they were connected (duh... I never checked with them disconnected)
    I was able to make it go away temporarily by pushing the cables on the back of the display firmly in, but a few hours later I noticed a couple blocks popping up again.. however it wasn't as bad as before.  Seems to me it must be some issue with the hardwired power/tb connetor.

  • OS 10.7.5 pinwheels Late 2011 Macbook Pro

    I am using a late 2011 MacBook Pro and I am getting recurrent pinwheels no matter what I do. Even booting into safe mode, I get them but it usually takes a little while of normal use until they happen. At first I thought it was Chrome, but after I started using Safari the behavior continued. In the console, this sometimes happens right before the pinwheels start:

    1/10/13 5:38:16.000 PM kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero

    I remove the istat widget and the excessive fan speeds ceased. However, the machine will still become unresponsive and begin pinwheeling after a random amount of time, never less than 10 minutes. I have run hardware tests and there does not appear to be anything wrong with the logic board or the RAM. I do have an SSD installed but over one-third of the drive is free space.
    I have had the activity monitor open when this happens, but I cannot tell what process(es) are using the system resources because it becomes unresponsive too. I have tried updating to Mountain Lion, but I can't get it downloaded in full before the machine pinwheels again. I tried doing a Lion Internet Recovery, but I only got 10-15% done before it errored out and told me that it couldn't finish the download. After that, I could attempt to restart the installation, but then it did not see the SSD at all. I no longer have the original HDD to test the unit, but it appears that the SSD is the problem. I am looking for help in any other areas before I install a new piece of hardware.

  • Putting a SSD in the optical drive bay of a late 2011 MacBook Pro.

    I want to put a large Solid State Drive in the optical drive bay of my late 2011 (Model ID 8,2, 2.4 GHZ quad i7, 8 Gigs RAM, SSD boot drive) using the carrier and drive from Other World Computing.  The "About This Mac" box shows that the optical drive is 6G so I'm thinking that it should be OK putting a 6G drive in that bay, but OWC says that MacBook Pros have only a 3G optical drive capability.  I know this was true on earlier models, but my bay says 6G.   The 6 G SSD's are faster and have a longer warranty.  I do pro audio work and want to record to the new drive with speed and reliability.  Is there any way to prove that my MBPro will handle 6G?  I was told by someone at OWC who looked up my my serial number that it would work, but another tech guy at OWC said they didn't recommend it.  I'm thinking that they just issue a blanket "no" answer to cover themselves against people ordering a 6G drive for a machine that wouldn't handle it.  Before I order a 6G drive is there a way I can know for sure if it will work?
    Many thanks,
    Robert

    If the computer is correctly identified as 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro, and not an Early 2011 build series,
    according to MacTracker database (http://mactracker.ca download application) optical drive interface supports
    the same spec as the hard disk drive...
    Hard Drive Interface    6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
    Optical Drive Interface    6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
    So should there be an error in identification, that would make a difference. Some Early 2011 models may
    have the 3.0 Gbps or 6.0Gbps data rate in the optical drive. All Late 2011 models should be 6.0 Gbps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Upgrade to SSD or HDD? Late 2011 MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro, running Yosemite with 500GB hard drive & 4 GB of RAM.
    I'm going to upgrade the RAM to 16GB regardless to speed things up a little.
    I'm a very basic level user. Mainly use it for web surfing, watching movies, downloading music etc.
    I don't think I want to lose the SuperDrive as I burn cd's to play in my car.
    Reckon an upgrade to an internal HDD should do the trick. Looking to get 2TB at least. Can anyone recommend anything to me please & explain to me how I go about transferring data from current HDD to the new 1?
    Thanks!

    Vendors to check are OWC, DataMem, and Best Buy. I would recommend Seagate, HSGT, and Toshiba. The latter now makes a 2 TB notebook sized drive you can use in that model. I believe this is the largest capacity for a notebook drive.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
