HT204267 Macbook Pro Mid 2011 Wont Boot

I have a macbook pro mid 2011 but wont boot. THe charging light and the power light in front come on but it does not make the start up noise nor anything like.

For those driving north of Belize, some distance into Mexico, there are
some authorized service providers and some independent resellers...
These are not exactly convenient to Belize users of Apple products.
And then there's Puerto Rico... between shipping & duties, + costs.
https://locate.apple.com/pr/en/
A different look into the Apple country locator may show retail resellers
though of those, as they are not Apple Store (company) those likely do
not offer a Genius bar such as the US & Canada. One could use Apple
locator page to see Apple sales independent affiliated resellers in Mexico.
Cancún area has three companies (total four locations) for Mac service.
Mérida  apple retail independent resellers (seven) + two premium "iShop" w/ service
https://locate.apple.com/mx/en/sales/?pt=all&lat=21.0023779&lon=-89.609860299999 98
Cancún  apple Mac authorized service independent providers (four shown this location)
https://locate.apple.com/mx/en/service/?pt=4&lat=21.161908&lon=-86.8515279000000 1
The Apple country locator page shows Belize -- But there are no listings in the Belize result.
Appears there may have been or could be some body there who had a business, once?
Sorry to say it would appear you have limited options, for sales and service;
when my dad lived in western Belize for 4 years and had Mac computers,
they took their own and backups. Occasional visits to the US allowed the
units to get service or repair a few times each year, if taken along.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • I was installing soundflower macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard Grey loading screen

    Hello i was installing soundflower for my macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard. However when finishing the installation for soundflower and click restart computer my mac now has a grey screen with a loading bar that doesn't finish. I already try safe mode and it doesn't work. Is there a way to disable sound flower installation?

    No. You use "C" to boot from the optical drive
    Hold down the Option key to select a different disk drive to boot from
    When it comes up with all the disk that have an operating system on them, select the one with the bootable clone on it

  • Macbook pro mid 2011 battery lasting only 3 hours

    How can I get my brand new Macbook pro mid 2011 battery to last longer, now it's lasting only 3 hours.

    Do not believe the advertised specs from any manufacturer regarding battery life.  In the real world expect about 60% to 70% of those figures.  Battery life is influenced by many factors,  Among these are display brightness, the number and type of applications you are running, if the optical drive is used, external devices that may be attached etc.
    3 hours seems a bit low but not necessarily out of line.  Go to SYSTEM PROFILER>POWER and see what it says by 'Condition'.  If it is other than 'normal' you may have battery issues (Explanations then can be found in FINDER>HELP).

  • 13" Macbook Pro (mid-2011) audio in/out problem in Bootcamp Windows 7 64-bit

    Hello,
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro (mid-2011) and when in Windows 7 (64-bit) there is no way to configure the single combination audio in/out port to be an input. It is by default assigned to be an audio output and it cannot be configured otherwise in the Sound manager in Control Panel. In OSX the port is configurable. The audio driver is Cirrus 4206A (AB28), dated 12/3/2010, version 6.6001.1.30.

    I forgot to add that I installed the Bootcamp drivers from the OSX disc after I installed Windows 7 as instructed

  • I have a Macbook pro mid 2011 and just bought the Apple TV. While watching program or movie from any of the apps such as Watch ABC, the program keeps stopping and starting constantly.

    That would indicate a network issue.
    Reboot ATV and router
    Make sure DNS is set to auto
    Ensure router is up to date, if on wifi try ethernet
    Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

    Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • My Internal HD became corrupt and it would not boot up so I installed My osx onto a new HD via usb and then inserted into my macbook pro but it wont boot up. It will only boot up if i connect via usb how can i boot it as an internal HD?

    If the system won't boot from the new drive the OP bought and install OS X on it it certainly won't boot from the original drives Recovery HD partition.
    Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad.  Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS.  Just maybe right genius?  Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities.  (I did say "if it does")
    Thank you

  • What is the limit with RAM upgrading on a Macbook pro (mid 2011)

    I'm looking for a suitable upgrade for my ram, but I don't know if there are models that are incompatible with my Macbook Pro model.
    I have a 13 Macbook Pro 2.7Ghz from mid 2011.
    I have a couple of possible RAM models to purchase such as:
    Corsair SO-Dimm 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000,1866MHz
    Kingston 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Are there any limitations regarding the speed I can install on my machine?

    Max 16GB's of 1333MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM PC10600 204 Pin is the correct RAM for your computer.

  • Macbook pro mid-2011, has graphic issue?

    Everything seems fine until I reinstall the sims 3 to my new macbook pro. The video's works fine, but when i entered the create household,
    it shows the person's eyes and thumbails were not clear. The details setting of the game, has been set all to low which is the default setting. I have tried to increase some setting to medium or high, but it have not make any changes. Any solution?

    it was working fine with my old macbook, and my sister who is using macbook pro 15" also works fine. I also installed the sims medieval, but the same issue occurs. i have the latest update for macbook pro sofware and also the sims.

  • Boot Camp: Macbook Pro 8,2 wont boot from USB or External CD Drive

    Im pretty far into this process, and I have already jumped through a few hoops.  I have replaced my Superdrive with a HD and am trying to install Boot Camp on a late 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2.  I have gone in and edited the info.plist by taking out PRE which allowed me to make a USB Bootable drive with Windows 7 Ultimate on it.  I also have the install DVD with a an activation key for that.  I have partitioned my HD with 50 GB of space for Boot Camp and Windows and then it prompts me to restart.  At this point the computer tries to boot into Windows installer but instead gives me " No Bootable Device - insert bootable CD and press any key..."  I have tried restarting holding option with the external CD drive and USB drive plugged in, with just the USB drive plugged in, and with just the external CD drive plugged in.  With the CD drive plugged in and by holding option I do get the option to boot from OSX, Recovery, Windows, and EFI boot (the last two have the icon of a disk.)  When I click on windows it goes to the black screen with No Bootable Device.... and when I tried EFI boot it just sits there for a really long time and does nothing.  Any help?
    I have already had people tell me to re-install my superdrive and try but that was a tedious process and I'd rather not do that.  Thanks in advance,

    Meh, with the price they take for a drive in Denmark, I don't think it's worth it... They take around 160 $ for the drive (that's the cheapest MacBook drive I could find), and I am not even sure that's the one I need.

  • Macbook pro mid 2011 problem to eject usb hd

    Hi, using a macbook pro 13 mid 2011 with w7 professional 64bit
    I've a problem almost every time I connect an external hd to the usb
    and then i try to eject it using the icon on toolbar... the hd usb is seen
    like external keyboard... So if I eject it the macbook pro crashes...
    the internal keyboard stop working. Any one has a solution ?
    It's a very annoying problem.
    Thank Yoy.
    F.C.

    This sounds like a Windows configuration issue.  Have you tried using the device manager to "remove device" on the HD while it's attached?  THis should remove the drivers, etc, then allow you to re-connect it and let the OS re-detect and load drivers.  I would think that this would allow the OS to select the right driver for the external HD this time instead of the HID driver...

  • Macbook pro model A1278 wont boot osx stuck at grey screen

    I have had my mbp for about 3 years now and has worked great.  Just today i got home from work and when i opened the macbook which was already running I was in OSX but it was frozen with colored wheel spinning.  I had never experiened this before but I didnt think too much of it and held down the power button to reset it.  Now i am stuck at the grey screen with the Apple Logo and spinning wheel and cant get back into OSX at all.  So i started googling (on another computer obviously) and tried:
    1.  boot in safe mode.  Didnt work, still stuck at grey screen
    2.  boot in safe mode with "commd-shift-v" to see info.  stuck in "dos" looking screen. see pic at bottom.
    3.  tried resetting VRAM w/ "commd-opt-p-r".  did not work, still stuck at grey screen.
    4.  got original OSX install DVD.  Was able to boot to disc and make it to disk utilities.  went to repair and got error "unable to unmount disk"
    5.  ran "repair permissions" and completed that.  ran "verify disk" and got green "disk ok" message.  then re-ran repair and got same "unable to unmount disk"
    so know i am worried.  my main concern is the 80 GB of music I have on this computer (and dont currently have backed-up {que back-up lectures}) and my pictures.  Does it sound possible to recover music and pics based on this little bit of info?  Im willing to take it to the Apple store and pay the price if it sounds like I can recover it.  I am pretty computer savy but am reluctanct to just start trying anything that could lose my music/pics.  I cant try just deleteing and restoring OSX to factory settings and losing all that music/pics.
    so...what is best approach to access and back up these files myself?  I do have another macbook with a firewire connection but am not familiar with that process.  I will get a external HD immediatly (now ofcourse)...can I backup my files from disc utility?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Buggy OS X Mavericks on Macbook Pro Mid 2011

    1.) Using 4 Fingers gesture to show list of applications. Scolling them from left to right or right to left is not that smooth as previous OS version.
    2.) Mac App Store - iPhoto and iMovie are totally buggy. after i download this apps the "install" button became blurred but when after i restart my laptop its shows 0 kb of 1.1GB again and shows the "resume" button again and again.
    so far this are my problems that i encounter.
    Anyone out has same problem with me. Hoping so that i will not feel alone.

    Same Here I don't think its machine spefic though..  I have issues on my MacBook Pro 2011 with Mavericks but so does my Parents iMac and my Uncle's 2009 Macbook Pro too.  I am a heavy user of iPhoto / Aperture but have noticed tons of bugs using those Apps since the Mavericks update.  Everything from opening iPhoto to importing photos causes iPhoto to hang or stop running.  My fans speed up to infinity and beyond, about 5500 rpm.  In iPhoto the Menu bar becomes unresponsive unless I click on an Event rightaway not to load whole library.  Noticed the same sort of issues on my Parent's iMac as well with same type of misbehavior in iPhoto.
    Besides iPhoto other Apple Apps from time to time fail to quit during exit of the Application.  Like in iTunes sometimes hangs on quit or crashes altogether.  iTunes playback skips more frequently too..  Whats weird non Apple apps tend to work, basically no crashes or glitches..  For the iTunes playback of video or music will start to skip after a few minutes of playing, if I take that same file and play in VLC or other third party Media App flawless playback of file..  Same with media on the Net I mostly use Chrome no issues playing my music via Google Play or watching video on Youtube all play wonderfully.
    Just before the Mavericks update when I was on Mountain Lion these issues weren't present..  I have notified Apple Support via the Feedback form, they have gotten back to me and are aware of my issues, I am very impressed with Apple Support staff...
