Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.
Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
2011 models must use:
•204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
And 2012 models must use:
•204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
So here's the video:
Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
Good luck,

I cannot install lion from mac appstore. i have a macbook pro early 2011 model with 10.6.8 and i keep getting a wierd error NSInternalInconsistencyException i have no idea what to do.
I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
try changing yours too and let me know how it goes. -
Macbook Pro (Late 2011 model issue)
I purchased my Macbook pro (late 2011 Model) a couple of months back, towards the end of last year. Staright after i had purchased it, and had got it delivered i experienced cracking and clicking noises coming from within the Hinge of the Macbook. And got it replaced for a brand new one as i was still within the 2 weeks prior to purchase, as the apple policy states i was eligible to get a new if i had any problems. So i did. And the brand new replacement macbook pro that i have NOW has the same problem. Ever since i got the other one replaced THIS ONE has the problem or rather much worse, Cracking and clicking noises everywhere whenever i handle the notebook or carry it there is cracking noises everywhere. Whenever i open and close the screen lid, UP or Down. There is loud clicking noises coming from inside, sounds like something is breaking. This is totally unacceptable. First macbook had issue, replaced it, And now replaced Macbook pro is much worse. Since i had it replaced i havent had time to come bring it in. It still bears the same preoblem and is getting worse!
You're just going to have to take it into your local Apple Store. They won't replace again but you're still within your one-year warranty so they will certainly repair. I have the same model and have not have any of the problems that you describe.

I have a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) that is currently running OS Lion 10.7.5. I was just wondering if updating to OS Mountain Lion would slow it down in terms of performance, or if it will have any other bugs on my MacBook?
PS. When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?When updating to a different OS, do I have to back up my files to like a hard drive or something?
A back up is a precaution that you should always have, not just when installing an update to the OS. Its purpose is no different from the seat belt you wear when you drive. Use it all the time, and hope it will never be really necessary. -
Windows Refuses to boot from 2 brand new Macbook pro 13 2011 model laptops
I'm having the same problem.
I bought a macbook pro 13inch 2.3 ghz core i5 base model yesterday. I gave it the normal windows partition as i normally do with all my macs and tried to install Win7.
The installation was ok except that it took the macbook pro like 40 seconds to finish showing the Black screen with the blinking cursor .
I then Installed Bootcamp 3.2 and restarted, it took its normal 40 secs to show the black screen and blinking cursor after i had selected windows to boot and then it restarted!
I tried 4-6 times but it keeps giving me the same result.
I then reformatted 4 times both the Windows and Mac partitions and tried to repeat the windows installation but it kept giving me the same result.
A friend of mine bought his macbook pro 13 base model today and when i tried installing, it gives the same result! What is wrong?
I then installed Parallels 6 on both laptops and immediately it booted the already installed windows partition.(*but i don't want to use parallels )
But when i restart and hold down the option key and choose windows, it keeps giving me the black screen with the blinking cursor and the restarts itself.
I have used 10 or more macbook pros and airs in the past and they've never given me this sort of problem.
What is wrong???Having Windows on GPT and EFI; not having default OS set to Windows.
Having boot options in msconfig set to default (30 seconds) instead of reducing to 5 seconds (if present, it may not be).
40 seconds is slightly longer I guess for you than OS X but people with trouble are reporting 1-4 minutes. I think 40 is in normal range. -
I have photos on 1.44 floppy disk and would like to copy them to DVD, has anyone used a 1.44 usb external drive with a MacBook Pro (late 2011)? The disk where made on a PC from 1990 -94 the images are in .img and .jpg.

Yosemite running very slowly on new MacBook Pro
I just bought a new 13" MacBook Pro (not Retina) last month. When I set it up I copied the data and apps from my 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard. When I try to open apps such as Safari or jEdit or Adobe Reader or NeoOffice it seems to wait forever (or at least 30 seconds) to open them. I thought this would be faster than Snow Leopard, but it's not!
Should I just back this all up with my SuperDuper and start over?
Here are my Etrecheck data:

One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that the current version of OS X always needs to more than 4 GB of memory to run well. The myth is based on nothing except the fact that some people keep repeating it. Apple is today selling new Macs with 4 GB of memory that can never be upgraded after they leave the factory. Those Macs come with Yosemite preinstalled, and it can never be downgraded to an older version. So if you were to believe the myth, you would also believe that Apple knows that it's selling products that are permanently crippled right out of the box, no matter how they're used. Read this discussion before you spend money on memory that you may not need.
Some users do need more than 4 GB of memory for full performance. They are running memory-intensive applications, such as photo or video editors, or they're running many programs concurrently, or they have more than one account logged in at the same time. Whether you're one of those users can be determined, in part, by observing the level of memory pressure in the Memory tab of the Activity Monitor window. If the memory pressure graph always stays in the green zone, then a shortage of memory is not causing the problem.
Even if memory pressure is high, that doesn't necessarily mean that adding more memory will help. If one or more processes has a memory leak—a kind of bug—then adding memory, no matter how much, won't help. It will merely delay the onset of the problem, perhaps only by a few minutes or less. That is very likely the case if you already have more than 4 GB. -

Native resolution problem on Boot Camp running Windows 8.1 on Macbook PRO 15 (2011)
Hello
Couple days ago I purchased a DELL U2414h display, and I came across some problems while trying to use it with Windows 8.1 on Boot Camp.
Everything works like a charm on MAC OS X and I get 1680x1050 resolution on my 2011 15 inch Macbook PRO, and 1920x1080 on the external DELL display.
The problem starts when I run Windows 8.1... I get my native resolution on the Macbook, but the maximum usable resolution on the external display is 1776x1000. There's an option to choose 1920x1080, but when I do that, the screen looks blurry. Is there any way to overcome this problem?
I'm using HDMI Adapter, and I installed all the drivers which were downloaded while installing the Boot Camp
Cheers
PatrykNo I haven't, but could it be the case? The same display with the same adapter works fine while running the MAC OS X.
But yeah, the adapter converts the mini display port to HDMI (as far as I know)
Thanks for the reply -
Hi everyone!
I currently own a Macbook Pro '15, 4gb that was purchased in early 2011 running Snow Leopard (my version is currently 10.6.8). For under the past 3 year it has been heavily reliable, and I have not ran in to any software, or hardware issues. However, over the past 3 or so months I have been having issues.
During May 2014 through to present date I have started experiencing screen glitches. It first began with image distortion, causing the whole system to crash, which would mean I would have to turn it off and reboot the system. Later this turned into a series of screen blurring (consisting of images fragmenting all over the place) and then finally followed with 2 weeks of blue screening on start up, meaning that I could not get into my log user unless I entered safe mode. I should also mention that I have no third party issues.
After doing some considerable research on apple forums I did what had to be done. In the last two weeks I have wiped my MacBook Pro, re-installed the OS and considered that it was now a process of elimination. For the first week the software seemed to been running smoothly, I wasn't having any failings until I hit the second week – of course, the glitches began all over again and I faced two in the space of a half hour (first my screen split into two during listening to music on spotify with no other applications open in the background, shortly after rebooting I faced a much worse case of my Mac completely dark blue screening with white lines.)
Now, once again, it only works 'well' on safe mode. I did a check in both modes. Left my computer idle with no programmes running for a half hour and the same thing happened with the screen, went black for a moment, moved the mouse and I received a fragmented screen again. I'm completely fed up at this point, considering I have the bare minimal amount on my Mac, I honestly can't fathom how it's come to this.
Now considering my model is not even three years old at this stage you can fully understand my frustration since I heavily rely on my laptop for educational purposes, which is making it very difficult to be able to concentrate on any of my studies. If anything, it is causing a great deal of stress. With my product being out of warranty I don't have an obscene amount of money to pay for a new one. When I already paid roughly £1,699 for the product in the first place.
The worst thing is, I've even done a EtreCheck, this was yesterday (the most recent/last time it was in use)

I've had a look to book an appointment at the Genius Bar, but would you believe it, there are no available appointments at my local store! I really would appreciate if anyone could offer any assistance in how to lodge a formal complaint? My days rely on being able to do my work, so whilst I have tried to book a reservation I am at a loss, and pretty much screwed having a Mac that I clearly cannot use functionally.
If anyone can provide any help, I'd be absolutely most grateful!I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you! -

Is it true that sleep consume less power than boot? (MacBook pro late 2011 model)
I have 3 questions here to ask:
1. Some say that sleep consume less power than boot, but some say it isn't. Which is true? and how it can be?
2. Is it true that charging your macbook pro until 100% then unplug it will make cycle count go faster than using AC power all day and ONLY using battery when we couldn't find AC outlet will make it slower?
3. i found that some macbook user leave their macbook charged all the time and some macbook user prefer use battery all the time. Which way is better? i have observed and looked at any apple help topics but couldn't get the answer without any experience from you guys...
I'm so conserned with these issues...
Thank you for your time though, i hope i can find the best solutions here....Regarding question 1, that's a meaningless question. Boot uses a specific amount of power, dependent on how much stuff has to start up on your machine and what hardware you have, while sleep uses a trickle over time, so whether this is true depends on what interval of sleeping you're comparing to boot. There will be a break even point somewhere, but where that might be isn't clear.
Apple recommends sleep over shutdown unless you're going to be away from the computer for a couple days or more. Of course, I can't find a reference to that document now, but I know it was there at one point in time. I don't think that the entire issue is power-related, as boot will stress the hardware slightly more (lots of reading from and writing to the hard drive, etc) than sleep.
As to questions 2 and 3, the answer is the same for both. Your battery lasts for a finite number of cycles before losing capacity. (How many cycles is a good question, and not an easy one to answer.) A cycle is defined as going from full to empty, but can be broken up as well. For example, if you start from full, drain halfway, charge to full again and drain to halfway again, that's one cycle. So, the more times you charge your battery, the faster it will wear out, but how you do it doesn't matter much.
There are a couple gotchas, though. First, a battery can wear out prematurely if you never let the electrons "turn over." You need to use it on battery power sometimes, though it doesn't have to be daily by any means. Second, if you drain the battery fully, that's not very good for modern batteries. I wouldn't worry about it now and then, but don't make it a habit of draining it fully. (Some people erroneously recommend frequently draining the battery fully and then charging it back up to "condition" the battery, but that is not actually good practice. All Mac portables with built-in batteries do not need conditioning.)
Finally, all this is fairly irrelevant if it interferes with the way you need to use the machine. Use the machine the way you need to use it, and don't worry so much about adjusting your needs to fit the battery's needs. If that means you have to replace the battery a little more frequently, so be it. They're not that expensive in the grand scheme of things. -
Can Macbook Pro Early 2011 model support 16 Gb RAM?
I own an early 2011 model macbook pro and was looking to upgrade the ram. I know it says that the maximum is 8 Gb but i have seen outside sources telling me that 16 Gb is fine. Is it possible or safe for my laptop to do this?
Yes, your model will accept 16gB of RAM. See specs below.
