13in MacBook Pro 2011 photo booth trouble??
I just got my brand new 13in MacBook Pro i7 last week and I seem to be having a big photo booth problem, I was seeing if anyone else is experiencing this issue as well. When you use one of the live background effects (ex: roller coaster, fishes, paris etc...) it asks you to step out of frame, when i do and the mac scans the background and completes, it does not bring none of the effect in and if it does, it's only like one tiny portion. I tried multiple backgrounds, lighting, rooms, etc...Anyone else having this issue or do u care to try on your new 2011 macbook pro for me please?
OMG SAME i'm in the exact same situation as you. i bought it a couple of days ago, and the same thing happens. the brightness also decreases for some weird reason. and i was so excited about that feature as well
i wonder if it's just us?

MacBook Pro 2011 - iSight HD camera not HD in Photo Booth
Dear reader,
I have the new MacBook Pro (2011 model), the 15" 2,2ghz with an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and 8GB of ram.
When I want to make photos in Photo Booth it says it's using the "Facetime HD Camera (Built-in)" but it does not make HD pictures. The picture size is restricted to 640 x 480 pixels and I want them to be HD so I can make pictures of documents and store them on my Mac.
I cannot find the solution anywhere. Do you know what to do?
Thanks in Advance!
Greetings,
Julius van der KwastI think this is a false advertisement as was the case with iPad back facing camera. Steve job called it HD camera but it is not HD at *all*. They did not mention the resolution, where 720p, 1080p?
It is just a better camera they are calling HD. Cheap advertisement. -
Macbook Pro 2011 running very slowly after upgrading to Mavericks
I am in deep trouble with my wife so any help would be gratefully accepted.
Shortly after Mavericks became available I upgraded my wife's Macbook Pro 2011 to use the new OS version. Ever since then, the Macbook has been running noticeably slowly. In particular, Mail is almost unusuable taking minutes to open and showing long delays while moving around messages, folders, etc. Excel and Word are also much slower, Safari is slow, in fact just about everything is grinding.
Any ideas on what can I can do to improve things and apease my unhappy wife would be much appreciated.
I have attached the Etrecheck output FYI
Thanks
Andrew

If I put an external monitor (actually, it’s a full HD external monitor), the AMD Radeon HD 6750 takes the job and even if there is no application that runs (excepted the Finder, of course, or AppleScript Editor only [used to quit the Finder]), after two or three minutes, I start to get my MacBook Pro 2011-11 hot (top-left).
I even put wood between the table (desk) and the MacBook pro feet, then added stoppers of plastic bottle: the hot start to be hotter.
Then, the Finder start to responding slow, slowly, very slow…
This can also happens on winter (the temperature of the room act on the hot, but only if it is 25 / 30 ° celcius.
The temperature tops around 80° celcius, but the overall slow of the computer make its use… nearly impossible. MICE under VirtualBox takes … nearly minutes to reassemble a two pages screen shot (2 images of 1440 pixels wide).
I recall that when I had my previous - smaller - monitor, I do not had that trouble. Its resolution was 1440 x 900 (same as the built-in monitor). In Fact, the Intel HD Graphics Card was the default one at these times. Once I replaced that monitor with a 22" (1920 x 1080) monitor, the AMD Radeon video card is running and the heath comes.
BTW: I run Lion, Mt Lion and Mavericks and the trouble exist with all these OSes.
Ideas ?The last version from July 14th (of course): 4.3.14
As it was during the last years (far before the trouble comes).
Nota:
a. the trouble does not appears when I had my old external monitor who was 1440 x 900 (same as the internal monitor resolution),
b. the trouble exists (appears) when I connect the external monitor (both 1600 x 900 and 1920 x 1080). It does not seems top be related to anything else.
On Mavericks, when you click in the icon located in the right of the menu bar (notifications ?), and the gfxCardStatus application is running, you get a notification that said (something like):
'AMD Radeom 8750' is active
or
'Intel HD Graphics 3000' is active
It is not possible to set the GPU to Intel HD Graphics 3000 when the external monitor is plugged.
I installed that application weeks ago / far after the hot start.
That is why I say the fault comes from the AMD Radeom 8750 GPU !
But, I may be wrong… -
Ram upgrade for macbook pro 2011
Hi people, i have a 2011 macbook pro with 4GB RAM ; i7 quadcore processor. I am planning to upgrade the RAM. I dont really need it because I do not play games anymore neither do I do any video or photo editing, i just use it with xcode mainly. But my question is not whether i need it or not ! I need someone who has done this before to tell me the differences they noticed after the installation. Was there a big difference, small difference, and what was it. I know what more RAM will do. I just need to know if there is a big difference or not from 4 to 8 specificall for the macbook pro 2011. I am running Lion by the way. If someone could suggest some websites were i can buy the RAM at cheapest price that would be splendid. Thanks !!
macsales.com
I've bumped my ram up to 8 GB. However, I did that because I used programs like Photoshop and usually have five or more application running at the same time. If what you say is your MBP usage leave it alone you don't need it. -
macbook pro 2011 will not give chime sound on start up. speaker very low no bass effect.. can anyone help!!!!!!
I have the same issue, except im on Snow Leopard. Done EVERYTHING!!! i get no chime on boot, just a quiet "pop". I've had my right speaker/subwoofer assembly replaced and still the same thing. Everytime i play music, or whenever any audio signal goes to my internal speakers, it quietly "pops" and has NO LOW END SOUND. Headphones and anything else plugged in works fine. I'm using a Macbookpro7,1 which is the 13in mid 2010 model. So far, I've had NO helpful information on this, and Apple expects WAAAAAYY too much money for something like this. SOMEONE TELL ME SOMETHING THAT HEPLS PLEASE!

Apple has a 90 warranty warranty on all of their repairs. You should take your computer back to the repair shop. Or call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department. Tell them your issue.

I just bought my cintiq 12wx and was wonderding if i can connect it to my macbook pro 2011 through the thurderbolt using a mini displayport to vga adaptor? Please help!
Yes, it should work with a mini-displayport to VGA adapter. Since a 12wx also can take DVI you could use a mini-displayport to DVI adapter instead. Why go analog when you can keep it in digital!
I guess the usb is for the pen. -
As the topic says,
What cable do I need to buy to connect my Macbook Pro (2011) to a VGA screen? I tried the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA", but apparently it doesnt fit the 2011 Pro version...
Help me out please.Yes ... minidisplay
But what I do not like in that picture (my personal view, others may think differently), is that there is much plastic around the connectors where the cable must fit. You may ot may not be able to get the cable to *fully seat* with the adapter.
Other adapters (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334087, yes I know this is a DVI) hve no plastic barriers to connections. -
Hello
I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above -
Macbook Pro 2011 charging behaving weird. Charges and stops repeatedly and takes very long. Help?
So a few weeks ago my MacBook Pro 2011 started having charging problems. I would use it normally. Then plug it in to charge anywhere between 5-20 percent like I've been doing for the past year that I've had it (since August 2011). Anyway, what happens now is that it charges but extremely slowly - at least 4 hours to fully charge as opposed to the 1 1/2 to 2 hours that it used to take. Also, it seems to be draining a lot quicker than it used to while only browsing the internet. Furthermore, while charging, the battery meter goes from the percent its charged to to "not charging" back and forth. What's going on? Is there a problem with my battery, my computer, or the magsafe charger? [please refer to the pictures below to get a better understanding of my problem - these pictures were taken over a 2 hour time period - a time period that usually is enough to charge my computer] - if you'll notice, in the first two pictures, the percent barely went up by 10 in a half hour period:

Thank you,
macstrtry doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out for you.
if doesn't work - better take it to Apple and have them look at it before something else goes wrong...
good luck - hope you get it sorted out.. -
I have and Macbook pro 2011 february. I have installed Lion with the lastest update. I would like to use my thunderbold display as my primary display. The same way when I close my MB Pro 2011, but I wish to use my Macbook pro display as my secondary display.
thanksIf your Mac has got Mini DisplayPort, purchase a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. You won't have to change any setting, and image will show on your TV after connecting it to your MacBook Pro. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How to reformat a Macbook pro 2011 hard drive?
Hello,
How do you reformat a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) 2011s Hard drive? I already backed up all the files I wanted to save. But since I have the new Macbook pro 2011 (only a few months since I got it) it didn't come with an installation disc, but instead already came with all the applications. I'm wondering how to reformat the hard drive so it wipes out everything and I can start fresh and what would happen to all the applications?Well Lion has a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can access by holding command r and booting, there you can erase the Lion OS X partition completely (all files and programs) and reinstall Lion or simply reinstall Lion if there is a issue with it (no programs or files are touched in this second procedure)
Lion is downloaded from apple's servers, you need AppleID and a fast reliable internet connection with no bandwidth caps limiting you.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you want to replace the drive, there is software called Carbon Copy Cloner than can clone both the Lion OS X Partition and the Lion Recovery Partition to a external drive intact (excpet what's in the Trash, no Filevualt, no bootcamp, use free Winclone for that)
Hold the option key and you can boot from the external drive and format and clone everything to the new internal drive. TimeMachine of 10.7.2 and later can be booted from it's Lion Recovery Parttion as well just to restore only, cloning is better process because it gives full access to everything like before on the internal drive.

Some newer Mac's have Lion Internet recovery built in where the firmware will install the Lion Recovery/OS back onto a completely blank/new hard drive. -
