2011 Macbook pro Keyboard Unresponsive
Hi,
I have a 2011 17" Macbook Pro. I'd left it in a cupboard - working - for a few months, as I got an iPad and didn't use it so much.
Now, when I try to use it, the keyboard is moreorless totally unresponsive. I can use a bluetooth keyboard.
The only keys that seem to work (occasionally) are the 0 key - but this is registers as F9, and P and -. Sometimes when I press 1 of these keys, i can see from the on screen keyboard that it thinks all 3 are being pressed and held.
I know this seems like a hardware issue, but I'm really hoping someone can tell me it's not. I can't do a SMC reset at the buttons won't press.
Any ideas?
Hi DanBrown180,
Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced.

Early 2011 Macbook Pro keyboard noise
My Macbook pro's keyboard has recently started making an aweful platic sound. My usage of the mbp has been very limited since I got it .
So, I contacted Apple Care and was directed to approach their Service Center which I did.
The service center fellows told me this was a "non-issue" and "normal". I contacted Apple Care who got in touch with the particular service center and gave me the same response.
I offcourse donot believe this to be a non issue and therefore I've uploaded a video in which you can hear the particular sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_hmJ8BY_No
So, what I'd like to know is that, is this 'noise' normal?Yes! Exactly the same noise as I recently have! I hate this noise. I feel mad on hearing this noise in a silent room. I don't think it's normal, because I don't remember I have heared this noise months before.
I'm now using an apple bluetooth keyboard, on this keyboard the space bar makes a different noise, larger, but not so ----- sticky. And I find the thinner keyboard has the larger noise. My old PC keyboard has no noise at all.
I can endure this noise, if it is not so sticky.
And my Mac is the Macbook late 2013. -
MacBook Pro Keyboard Unresponsive - and NO spills inside!
My entire keyboard has become unresponsive. It worked last night and not this morning. I haven't spilled anything, etc. It's simply locked up.
Maybe I hit some sort of keyboard command combination that set it as locked?

No keys working on 2011 MacBook Pro Keyboard
No keys work. Completely defective
Haven't SPILLED anything on the keyboard, but I did windex to clean and wipe the screen and decided to do the same on the keyboard to clean it. Didn't think this would cause any damage but could this be the reason? That's the only thing I can think of that could've caused the keyboard to be defective.
None of the keys are sticky though, and when you press them, all the keys feel as they would when the keyboard was functioning normally.
Looked up solutions, and in system preferances, under accesibility, mouse keys, slow keys, and my shortcuts(speak selected text when the key is pressed) in dictation & speech is all disabled.
I've been using an on-screen keyboard so typing is significantly slower (using a different computer now)
Seeing if anyone has any last-ditch solutions that I could try before taking it to the apple store/getting a keyboard replacement.steppJ,
did you spray Windex directly on the keyboard, or did you spray a cloth and then use the cloth to wipe the keyboard? -

Randomly when using OSX Mavericks, since installing yesterday, my mid-2012 Macbook Pro keyboard and trackpad freeze and become unresponsive.
The computer is still running whatever I was doing, the computer does not crash, i just cannot control it and the only way I have found as a fix is to restart.
This never happened in Mountain Lion.
Can anyone help?Very similarly.
Mac Mini late 2012. i7 CPU, 16GB ram. 12GB unused.
After installing Mavericks, it seems to grind my system to a halt. It is still running (I can move the cursor and activity monitor updates processes) but every application I try to launch results in a colorful waiting sign. It even can take a minute or more before an application shows "any" sign of starting.
I tried to open a terminal session (so I could manually kill a process) but the terminal session did not even process. It timed out after 5 minutes.
Acitivity monitor shows 90-95% idle and I have no idea what's causing it.
I have already rebuild disk and reset permissions (all seemed fine) 3 times.
I've rebooted over 8 times since last night. I cannot use my Mac anymore reliably.
Please help. -
Late 2011 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) backlight keyboard not functioning properly?
I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and for some reason, the automatic backlight keyboard will not funtion as it should. When I have the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option enabled in settings, and I turn on the lights, my backlight keyboard stays at full brightness. Then, when I turn off the keyboard, then the lights, the keyboard does not turn on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that this was a feature in the MBP lines.
Try a SMC reset. Shut down the computer. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Problem with macbook pro keyboard - MID 2011
Hi all, I have problems with my macbook pro keyboard.
I have several keyboard letter that bother me, the letters are e,y,d,h,c & n
When I hit letter 'e', it will come out as 'ey'..
When I hit letter 'y', it will come out as 'ey'..
When I hit letter 'd', it will come out as 'dh'..
When I hit letter 'h', it will come out as 'dh'..
When I hit letter 'c', it will come out as 'cn'..
When I hit letter 'n', it will come out as 'cn'..
please help me out..?If it turns out to be a hardware problem with the keyboard and the repair is done through Apple, be prepared for a sticker-shock price to fix it. The problem is that Apple considers the keyboard as an integral part of the top-half of the aluminun enclosure (it's called the top case & is CNC milled and quite complex)...to Apple, it is considered one-piece and one part number (top case). The keyboard is held onto the top case with many (~60) very tiny screws and this entire top case is the part that will be replaced. They will NOT replace only the keyboard.
I had the power button quit on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13". To fix it through Apple would've cost well over $500. The power button is part of the keyboard assembly (it's not removable from the keyboard and uses the same flex cable assembly) so the keyboard itself needs to be changed. I found the exact replacement keyboard on eBay for ~$30 and changed it myself. There is absolutely nothing trivial about replacing it. It was a huge pain in the butt, especially swapping the keyboard on the top case with all of those teenie-tiny screws. It took me the better part of a day to do it but I've had experience with this type of work for at least 20 years now. If I need to do it again for some reason, it will likely be quicker.
Just beware that a repair could cost some big bucks, even if it's only "just the keyboard". -
What's Wrong with My MacBook Pro? Unresponsive, Loud Fan...
Hi, I've got a Mid 2011, MacBook Pro. 250gb HDD, 4gb Ram, running 10.7.5.
Everything was working fine, then I took my MacBook to Mexico for a few weeks, so the power source was different to UK.
Worked fine for a few days, but then it seems that after connecting a camera and uploading 56 photos, everything has slowed right down, or just completely unresponsive
The fan is on constant overdrive aswel.
Starting up and down can take about 1 minute.
I've tried resetting the RAM, doing Disc Utility and a few other things in the Tips Guide. If I start up in Safe Mode, everything runs quick and smooth. But then I lose all Audio and keyboard lighting... which I assume is normal.
Any ideas please?
I'm debating about buying a 500GB external, and using Time Machine to back everything up... will this be a definite fix?
Chris.

Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks
I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)
I spotted other people advise running EtreCheck, here are my results:

CleanMyMac is crapware.
Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize", "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install. -
Apparently, the only boot camp functions that work are restarting in Mac OSX and double-touch right-clicking, which I got after downloading the BootCamp 3.2 upgrade.
This means no sound, no Direct3d (though I've installed the Intel drivers manually and that's now working), no keyboard functions, and no internet access by ethernet port or wifi, which means I won't be able to activate Windows and this install will soon die a quiet death.The Bootcamp Assistant version should 5.1.x. Please see Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions about installing Windows 8 - Apple Support and Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes
Good Morning.
This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
Additonal information:
When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.
Help please.

That recall is not just for the Retina model:
From:
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Affected Models
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
"Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
"Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
Re:
http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. -
Late 2011 Macbook Pro with SSD Freezing
Hello,
I have a late 2011 macbook pro and about six or so months ago I have it a new lease on live with a Samsung 840 SSD (non pro).
I haven't really had any problems with that until recently - the machine started locking up on wakeup. This meant that the beachball of doom would start and each program would gradually in turn become unresponsive. Shutdown command wouldn't work and would time out, force quit wouldn't open, and although I could move the mouse around and sometimes switch between programs, they didn't work and the only cure was to hold the power button until it switched off.
This has also started happening just when the computer has been on for a certain amount of time *without sleeping*. For example, if I watch an episode of a tv show, by the end of it the video is still running but all of the other programs are locked up - clicking out of VLC causes the beachball of doom. This also happens in other programs - it's even happened as I've been writing this, and the only remedy seems to be a hard restart.
The problem doesn't seem to occur in windows. In OSX I have 'put hard drives to sleep' turned off, and TRIM enabled. I also disables the sudden movement sensor. I have also reset the SMC.
Does anyone know of a remedy short of a full reinstall of Mountain Lion?
Oh and I used samsung magician in windows to update the firmware of the drive. It reports that the drive should be fine.
Thanks very much for any help anyone can give me with this!anything is possible - corrupt files - corrupt drivers - it could be anything.
try doing a nvram/pram reset and see if that sorts it out.
i have ssd installed in all my Macbook/Macbook Pro and have never had any issues.
Then again, I don't have windows installed in any of them.
hopefully the nvram/pram reset sorts it out for you.
once you've done that reset - go back to system preferences - startup disk and select your ssd as the startup drive again - then restart it again. -
Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install
After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?
