My MacBook Pro 2011 model has a backlight issue- pls someone help

I have a early 2011 MacBook pro that has a backlight issue, im able to connect it to an external monitor just fine.
Brought it to a repair shop and they swapped the screen including the lvd cable but the problem still exist.
Have already spend a lot of money to no avail. What could be the issue? :(
Apple said it only needs a new screen which doesn't seem to be true.

It is under warranty https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it is more than one computer and both chargers are not working I suspect you need to replace.
If it was just one Mac I might suggest reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.

1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
if there are some delays in the boot process - you should see where the system is stuck.
this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
3. try cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC more) http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
p.s be sure you do have backup

Macbook Pro (2011 Model) suddenly does not boot from SSD in main bay

I have been using Macbook pro 2011 and Samsung SSD (256GB) for about a year.
All of sudden, the computer will not from SSD from the main bay, but it will boot from the optical bay.
I have tried an Intel SSD 120gb which came with the computer, but it does not work either.
However, it will boot from the regualr hard drive from the main bay.
I have read somewhere that it could be due to the hard drive flex cable.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

It may very well be a problem with the SATA cable... for some reason (and I don't know why, but...) SSDs seem more prone in 'detecting' a faulty SATA cable than a standard hard drive. Where a hard drive will boot, an SSD will not.
I would advise purchasing a new SATA cable - from ifixit.com or powerbookmedic.com - and replacing the cable. That (normally) clears up the problem.

3 week old Macbook Pro 2011 now has dot in middle of screen?

I bought my Macbook pro 2011 Hi-res 15" Glossy - Configured to Order 3 weeks ago from the Apple Online Store. After installing and playing a game this week, I notice that a grey dot appeared in the middle of the screen, especially noticeable when browsing on safari, with a white background.
Is this a dead pixel or stuck pixel? what should I do? What can Apple do?

Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, take your Mac in for evaluation and ask. We are just fellow users, so we can't speak for Apple.
Pixel problems are a judgement call--Apple will determine what should be done on a case by case basis. If Apple determines that the display is unsatisfactory because of this flaw, you might possibly get a replacement display, especially since your problem is in the center.
Good luck!

My 13" macbook pro 2011 overheating anyone with same issue?

try smcfancontrol.its a good program controling the temp of computer if you set the speed of fan to a high value.
you know,the temp increases a lot when you are watching movies or doing work like data base or office work,due to high usage of processor.

Macbook pro 2011 model, getting slow opening applications. freezes every now and again too. any ideas??

i have recently found that my macbook pro has been getting quite slow at opening applications. i also have countless pop-ups and advertisements on my internet browser and some applications freeze on my screen and i have to close the lid of my laptop and re-open to get it working again. My macbook was bought new last august so is not very old and i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it?? should i take it into store?

Sounds like you got some form of malware. Not a virus per se, but something that is both impacting the running and launching the various popups.
Generally, you install these, knowingly or not. Be very wary of installing anything int he future.
For now, you need to either search them out, or get a program that can do it for you ( i am not familiar with them), or, worst case, backup, re-install system, copy only your files back. Destroy old backup and make new.
You might use the activity viewer to search for suspicious programs, then look for them, and remove them. But its hard.
Stay away form those sites and dont load stuff int he future.

MacBook Pro (2011 model) issues with screen (blue tint and distorted graphics)

Since yesterday my macbook screen has started to appear as tinted blue with some distortion of images and i was hoping if anyone could let me know what may be wrong or if it is a techincal glitch?
Any response would be appreciated!

I really cannot tell from your posted image any defect, not to suggest there isn't any. You could fiddle with System Preferences>Displays>Color.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
Ciao.

Should i buy a 17inch Macbook Pro 2011 model or the new Macbook pro 15 inch with retina display?

Im wondering which one i should buy.
im selling my iMac for it.
They both are really nice laptops, and are around the same price.
I just dont know which one to buy.
if i buy the 17 inch i get the DVD Drive, all the additional ports, and a bigger screen.
if i buy retina i get the 15 inch retina display(smaller screen), thiiner body, 75% less glare and more.
What do you think? which one would you buy?

Well, I am a smallish, sixty-something woman, and I've never found my 17" MBP (2008) too heavy to haul around. I got rid of my desk-top when I got this 17 incher, thinking I would eventually get a monitor for the large screen. Well, it has been 4 and a half years and I haven't found a need for the monitor yet.
I do a lot of photography, the kind with serious editing, so my hi-res non--glare screen is a must, as is the larger screen.
If I hauled this thing with me everywhere I went, it would be cumbersome, but that's what my ipad is for. The 17" MBP has been my dream machine, I just hope they source 17" retina panels and put it back in the line-up before I have to replace my trusty old machine.
For the way I use the MBP, a 15" would leave me needing a desk top version to supplement it. I like having the one machine to do it all, and love that I now have the ipad to do the light hauling. No need to take up space on my desk (or sit at a desk) with a desk top, when I have the 17" MPB.

My macbook pro (2011 model) was dropped?

my macbook dropped onto concrete ground on its side. i have a incase over it which isn't good for drop protection. when i was turning it on the apple logo doesn't show as soon as start up begins and the screen will go completely black every 3-5 seconds without me being able to change anything on it. the bar at the top of the screen also went invisible. right now, it's working perfectly fine like it was before but i'm sure the problems listed will immediately return. the computer also doesn't allow me to open up network preferences but this was before the drop. if i send it to apple, will it get checked, fixed, and replaced/repaired? what are the best options?

Such damage is not covered by your warranty, so you may wish to determine what it will cost to fix it before you do anything. Take it to a local Apple retailer for service.

My macbook pro 2011 model keeps freezing 30 seconds after start up

what happend is i tried to install Dreamweaver this installed succesfully and then when i started up the program it began to freeze so i force quit everthing and then it began to freeze so i hold the power button and it turn off and i restarted it then it said that "your computer turned of last time because of a problem do you want to open the programs that were open" click open. then i clicked cancel and it started i click google chrome and it froze completely i waited 2 hours and it was still frozen so i restarted and

Try booting into Safe mode (holding down the option key whilst booting). Your machine may run more slowly than usual, but at least it will let us know if you've a faulty kernel extension causing the problem.

P.S. Which version of Dreamweaver? The CS6 or CC version?

Macbook Pro 2011 do I return or keep upgrading? Help!!!

Okay so everyone on this forum is more helpful everyday that passes, no joke you guys are great! Heres the new story, So I have a 13" MBP early 2011 i5 that I just got less than a month ago. Now I upgraded the Ram to 8GB and was going to throw in a 160GB SSD. Now my workload has become more stressful, I am in charge of developing websites, creating 3-7min short sales videos for webpages, some photo shop and more Dreamweaver. I also use software to upload the sites to an FTP server and I pretty use develop minor software. I also use software that only works with Windows 7 so I am running boot camp as well and sometimes use parallel desktop. Heres my initial question to you, what should I upgrade the whole computer or more on my MBP I have now?
-I need my computer running fast, lagging is not acceptable because of my deadlines I have to meet.
-I will be using this for work and personal a lot!
-Last I dont want to have to upgrade after a year!

Todays my last day to return im going to take it to best buy and get the 15" then, but is the 15" high end worth the extra money, I mean i still have to cough up $600+ more for the low end 15".
What you think?
