MacBook Pro 13'' late 2011 start up problem.

I have 2 MacBook Pro 13.
Once of my MacBook Pro(1st) start up time takes me about 30 sec and shutdown time takes just about 3-5 second.
Another MacBook Pro(2nd) start up time take me about 50 second and shutdown times takes about 20 second.
I have download a sftware called CleanGenuise PRO from app store on my 2nd MacBook Pro and I keep clicking empty free space and delete, it this cause startup problem?
IF CANNOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
Can anyone TEACH me how to REINSTALL Mac OSX Lion?
Sorry for my poor english. Anyway PLEASE HELP! Thanks
1st MacBook Pro Spec
Core i5 4GB RAM 500GB HDD
450 GB free out of 500 GB
2nd MacBook Pro Spec
Core i5 4GB RAM 500 GB
377 GB free out of 500 GB

To reinstall Lion, hold down COMMAND 'R' keys when you start up your MBP.  See this link:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
Why one of your MBPs is faster on boot and shutdown times could be due to a number of factors.  Different OS, amount of data on the HDD, hardware specifications and so forth.  Even the slow one seems to me to be within acceptable norms.
I am suspicious of any 'cleaning' or 'performance' software.  If you want to find files to delete, I suggest you download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show you all of your files and their respective sizes.
Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro 13'' late 2011 battery health problem!!! HELP!!!

    I have a MacBook Pro 13'' late 2011.
    It's this normal? How do I increase my battery health?
    Can I change my battery?

    When did you buy it?
    Do you run it down to near zero % before recharging? Which is a bad thing to do.
    Do you charge it to 100% before you take it off the charger?
    Do you always disconnect the charger once it reaches 100% even if you are right next to an AC outlet. Which is a bad idea.
    Batteries only last so long. Over use it and it will go bad sooner.

  • MacBook Pro (15", Late 2011) Start-up troubles

    I'm having start-up issues with my MacBook Pro. Yesterday night it was working fine and I had no problems at all. I left it to go to sleep as usual, and this morning when I tried to start it up the screen started showing jittering grey pixels and seemed shifted to one side.
    After that it shut down and when I tried to restart it I couldn't get past the grey screen after the apple logo and spinning indicator came on. It just stays on the grey screen and after a couple of seconds shuts down again. I ran a hardware diagnostic test and no problems came up. Also, when I try to boot up in safe mode I get the progress bar at the bottom of the grey screen, but after that a blue screen with vertical black lines appears and I have to shut down and restart again. The same happens if I try the recovery option (command-r). I can boot in single-user mode with no problems. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

    You may have experienced a hardware failure of some kind. Give this a try:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
    If this is not possible then you will need to do this:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Macbook Pro 17" late 2011 expresscard 34 problem.

    I have 2 eSATA adapters, 1 from Silicon Image and the other is a Sonnet Tempo Edge 6Gb/s.  They were working fine on my Early 2008 15"MBP under Mountian Lion, but now in my new (bought refurbished from Apple website) 17" MBP they won't work.  It seems like they aren't even getting power.  Anybody have any ideas?

    If neither card is working in the Included Express card slot then I'd say it is time for a trip to the Apple store Genius Bar for a checkup and more then likely a Replacement Logic board as the card slot is soldered to the LB and on yours it is broken.
    I suggest you buy the Applecare extended warranty if you haven't already. Because if something like this happens again after your standard warranty runs out it will cost you many hundreds of dollars to have it fixed.

  • Macbook pro 13" late 2011 stuck up at apple logo and spinning wheel, changed HDD problem still exists

    thanks

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility and checking to see if the HD needs repairs?
    Restart holding Command + r and at the recovery screen select Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD and click  on 'repair disk'. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. More info here about the Recovery HD:

  • MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

    Hi,
    I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
    When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
    I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
    I tried these things:
    - Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
    - Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
    - SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
    The cable works, because:
    17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
    I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
    After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
    Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
    The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
    Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
    The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
    Sample Video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pgc52syes
    All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
    Any solutions?

  • Wi-fi problems  in me new macbook pro 13 late 2011

    hallo aim having problems with the wi-fi in me new macbook pro 13 late 2011, it seams to always be log on and off and i can't get a stabled connections other divides in the house work fine with the wifi(pc etc..)

    If the MBP was purchased within the last year take it to the Apple store
    or contact Apple. There are few threads in this site dealing with the same issue.
    There is no single sure shot step to correct this problem.
    May be you can go through those discussions and find a solution.
    Best.

  • I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?

    I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?
    and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.

    Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
    It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
    You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
    You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

  • Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 hard drive fails, how to replace hard drive?

    Hi!
    I have a Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 (OS X Mountain Lion v 1.3.18 (352.4). I tried to install OS X Mavericks but it showed this error message:
    "This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors. This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up as soon much data as possible and replace the disk."
    The laptop was still doing fine so I didn't do anything. Then it started to act funny: iPhoto stopped working, hangs when I watch video streaming, and it started to run really slow. I only use the laptop's basic features- internet, watching movies, editing using iMovies so it's really strange for me that the hard drive failed all of a sudden.
    I called Apple support and a kind fellow tried to troubleshoot it, thinking it was only a software problem. In the end, he said I need to bring my macbook to the service center and have the hard drive replaced. I know it will cost a lot so I want to replace the it myself.
    Here are my questions:
    1) Can this problem really be solved by just replacing the hard drive?
    2) Can I use SSD this time so my Macbook can run faster?
    3) What SSD is recommended for my late 2011 Macbook 13"?
    4) I don't have the installation disk, can I still install the OS X Mountain Lion? How?
    I am looking for other sites as well but I hope this community could share some tips too.
    Thanks a lot!

    I've switched out the hard drive on my Late 2011 model several times and I've never disconnected the battery cable.
    In my "Opinion" it is not necessary to do that. Not sure if it is or not recommended by Apple.
    EDIT:
    I just looked at my User Manual, PDF I downloaded from Apple, and there is no mention of disconnecting the battery.
    Here's a link to the manual for my model.

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) - High Definition Audio Device - Code 10

    Hi, i installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via Boot Camp on my new Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). Driver Disk was installed, but the "High Definition Audio Device" couldn't be started. Status is Code 10. Normal Cirrus Logic Audio is working. Any advice, how this could be fixed? Would be nice, to have audio over the Mini-Displayport HDMI Adapter on Windows as well (Works perfectly with Lion).
    Thanks,

  • Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 vs Macbook Pro 13 2012

    Hey
    I have a Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 model, its works like charm but my onyl problem with it , its too big for me , i travel a lot and its not really good for portability. I use this mac mainly for coding and developing and playing WoW (in BootCamp) but i play nothing else. So my friend said he is willing to buy from me and i decide to get a new macbook pro but the 13" for portability and its also fair enough for coding but im afraid thats its not enough for playing WoW. My friend pay me 1800€ and i found a brand new Macbook Pro for 1050€ + 300€ (for 256gb ssd and 16gb ram) so its gonna be a fast machine but maybe still not enough for WoW. What should i do?

    The 17" model is one of the last that supports Express/34.
    Thunderbolt does offer more expansion options, but at additional cost.
    Make sure the 13" model you get has built-in optical drive unless you don't use it.
    Make sure any games you develop for support the graphics card of the machine you end up getting.  If they don't, don't expect them to magically work on your machine.
    I typically have found the recommended graphics card is the only one that works.  Minimum graphics card may at random not work, unless you do no multitasking with many games.

  • Notification center stops working on Macbook pro 17 late 2011

    I had several problems with Mountain Lion on Macbook pro 17 late 2011 model.
    #1 Notification center stopped updating
    #2 Worst battery backup had dropped significantly , it appears that the laptop needs to be plugged in to the socket at all time. Current backup is around 2 hours.
    Anyone else got similar issues ?

    85w apple charger stops charging the Mac
    I think your assumption that when the amber light goes out, the magsafe is malfunctioning is not correct.
    Some users have observed that if you push your Big MacBook Pro as hard as you can, it needs all the power from the power adapter (and possibly more from the battery) just to keep running. Thus, the charge indicator on the magsafe will go off Amber. This is weird, but is not a malfunction.

  • Transcend 1TB SSD in MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011)

    Hey Guys,
    I just bought a Transcend SSD 1TB for my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
    I got it for a good price but now I'm unsure if I could use it.
    The SSD i bought is the TS1TSSD370. For more Info click HERE.
    My questions are:
    1. Is the SSD I bought compatible with my MacBook?
    2. Is it a good SSD to use with a MacBook?
    3. Can I use a 1TB SSD? Because on the Apple Specs Site for my MacBook Model it's doesn't say anything about a 1TB SSD.
    4. Do I have to consider anything special when using this SSD?
    It would be really great if someone could help me out!
    Thanks in advance!
    Max

    I use the Carbon Copy Cloner method as outlined by BobRz above.
    I'll be installing another SSD (higher capacity) whenever it gets here (Dec 3-Jan. 03) and I'll install the new SSD in my MacBook Pro first and then using my old SSD in an enclosure to transfer data.
    I've had my current internal SSD in my Mac since April of 2012 and my 16GB of RAM since about May of 2012. I've a Crucial SSD (soon, two!) and use Crucial RAM, too.
    You may want to take a peek at my user tip - Ugrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive. It's a bit dated (I'll be udating it pretty soon) but should give you a good start. Currently, I'm recommending Samsung 840 Pros (NOT EVO) and the Crucial M500 series.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Macbook Pro 15 "(late 2011) failure of the graph?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 "late 2011. Anyway, yesterday suddenly working with photoshop choppy with many stripes screen mode interference stayed. Thing goes off and no longer gray top with window apple and can distinguish some weird lines in the background.'ve noticed that much heated and the fans spinning at maximum causing a lot of noise, but very exaggerated even going to burn and thought it is the graphics card. Des then ever Very few, I get to open the OS but asking him to do something that required a bit of thinking and resources are left hanging and computer exorbitantly warm after a while of being on, with fans the most.
    I report and I've seen these Google Apple Macbooks Pro have had problems with this model, which came with the faulty graphics card and there are many cases like mine the net.
    I've led the service and have told me it's the graphics card and ask me € 650 to change the motherboard and the graphics card is integrated into it.
    Because there are some times reaching to open the operating system and some not? If the graphics card failure should never be opened or seen anything on the screen ...
    Because if the graphics card fails the computer so hot? Something does not look clear or logical in this ...
    I was very happy with the laptop and Apple products even recommending their products worldwide.But now I feel ripped off by Apple, very unhappy and never'll buy an Apple product and will recommend to anyone else. I think if a laptop goes with any defective part must be arranged at no cost by the consumer no longer has warranty though. If your products are of such quality that do you find such a product to market and not requite the damage? I thought Apple products were of high quality and durability ...
    The question is how Apple leaves the market one produxto flaws and is not responsible?
    I would like a response from the company
    Actually, I'm very disappointed.

    noice T greetings:  Your comment suggests that you have had  less than satisfactory results in dealing with the staff at the Genius Bar.  I am disappointed to hear that.  I on the other hand have found them to be good to excellent for the most part (yes I do recall a less than satisfactory Genius).  I think ffmcollins' problem is better addressed at an Apple Store than at Best Buy.
