Anyone had any screen discoloration in the 2011 macbook pro 13inch?

I've begun to notice my Macbook Pro 13inch I bought just August of 2011 has a slight discoloration that is only visable when the screen is black. Anyone else with this model have the same issue?

No it's just this weird line like thing. I can't afford to hand my mac over to the Genius bar for a week either. It's how I work and if I don't have a comp, I lose my job.
I took this with my iPod Touch
I didn't even notice it until I started to watch a movie and then I realized the cloudiness wasn't part of the movie.

  • Drobo Pro, iSCSI and the 2011 Macbook Pros

    I ran into awful connection issues using iSCSI and a Drobo Pro with my brand new Macbook Pro. Nothing turned up on google, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling:
    Drobo Pro was "disconnecting" from my brand new Macbook Pro while doing simple Log&Transfer work in Final Cut Pro. This is a process that I've done countless times on my C2D iMac and Core Duo Macbook Pro. While connected via iSCSI, L&T would completely freeze after a few seconds of working. In turn, finder would freeze and no data from my Drobo Pro would be accessible until I did a hard reboot on the computer. All of this happened regardless of the state of the AirPort, network settings, Font Book settings or PRAM zappage. It felt exactly like a full-on disconnection, but without any acknowledgement from OSX about the disconnect.
    The fact that my Drobo works perfectly with the other two Macs convinced me that it was a hardware issue on the MBP. According to Apple, there was no difference with the Ethernet architecture between this MBP and any other Mac, and according to Drobo, there was no reason that the iSCSI initiator would do anything differently. As it turns out, there is something about the new Macbook Pros that everybody overlooked:
    By default, the 2011 Macbook Pros boot into 64 bit mode. My iMac doesn't. My CD MBP doesn't. This is the key to the issue.
    After reading up on problems with 64 bit OSX and Drobo Dashboard's iSCSI on the Drobospace forums, my issues turned out to be very similar to everybody else's: Drobo's speed into my mac was at 1MB/s or less. It wasn't a total disconnection, but a drought of data.
    Has anybody else run into this issue with iSCSI and the new Macbook Pros? Hopefully as it comes up more often, more people can bump into this post and save themselves a few hours of troubleshooting.

    I may not be of any help, but yes, I have issues too.
    We had a DroboPro connected to our Mac Mini Server (late 2009) and shared to our network with plenty of speed. We just upgraded to a MacPro 2x2.4GHz Xeon (mid 2010) and now my DroboPro gets around 1MB/s when connected via iSCSI.
    I've tried as many connection configurations as I can think of, and I can't get it. Actually, I did have it working well briefly last night, but then I lost it again, and I'm not sure why. It could have been because I installed some other software, but I'm not sure.
    Could it be that I still have Drobo Dashboard (and therefore the iSCSI initiator extension) installed on other computers in my network? But I can't even get it to work when all the other computers are off.
    Frustrating.

  • Hello , please tell me whats the price of a screen and casing for a macbook pro 13inch.ty

    hello , please tell me whats the price of a screen and casing for a macbook pro 13inch.ty

    ds store's opinion will be right in some, but not all cases.
    That largely depends on eactly which year and MacBook Pro (e.g., 5,1 ) model you are talking about, as well as whether you are rather "handy" and can do the swap yourself.
    On older Macs, used complete screens are available on the secondary from machines that have died. Step-by-step photo-illustrated guides are also available for sources like ifixit.com. [Their motivation for providing these guides for free is that some readers will buy their parts to make the repairs themselves.]
    Newer Macs may be valuable enough that having Apple fix them may be cost-effective. A free appointment at the genius Bar (with no obligation to proceed with ANY repairs) can get you a quote to consider.

  • Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans?

    Do the 2011 Macbook Pros with an Apple installed SSD have cooling fans? In other words, I pre ordered the 256 SSD option with my purchase from Apple. I have searched and searched the internet for a clear answer. I have called Apple and have gotten contradictory answers. Can anyone definitively answer this question?

    It's unbelievable that anyone purporting to represent Apple could have misinformed you in such a ridiculous way. Apple has never produced a MBP that didn't have one or more cooling fans in it. The percentage of total heat generated by a MBP that comes from its hard drive (or SSD) is tiny — I would guess it's considerably less than 5%. The notion that the machine could dispense with cooling fans as a result of switching from a conventional drive to a SSD is laughable.
    I can only assume that you posed the question in such a way that it was not clearly understood by the people responding.

  • Installing 8gb of ram into 2011 macbook pro 13inch now its got no power.

    i was installing 8gb of ram into 2011 macbook pro 13inch and I Accidently installed it while the battery was ran out. Now its got no power and it doesnt charge.
    Any help please!

    Did you disconnect the battery cable when you installed the RAM? Make sure the cable is connected?

  • How do I clean the fans on my 2011 macbook pro 13inch

    I have a early 2011 macbook pro 13 inch. It travels with me every where I go. I have had the computer almost three months now and have not had a problem with it.  Some how, debris got in to the fans. I am thinking it some how got sucked in to one of the intake vents. I hear it  (not often) ratteling when I move the computer or tilt it ECT.  It sounds like somthing is blowing around in the fan.  It is a scarry sound.  At first I thought it was the hard disk.   I know it is not the hard disk because I was listening to the computer  when it was making the sound and it is comming from the back end of the computer, nowhere near where hard disk is located. My question is, How do I clean/ remove the debris? should I be concernd?  other than that the computer runs normaly

    Personally, I wouldn't touch them directly.  Use a vaccum (don't use one of those compressed air cans) to vacuum out all the stuff/dust/hair/etc.  Do not try to remove them.  Do not try to shove a stick or something in it.

  • Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

    There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it?  How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)?  Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not.  But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
    Thanks!

    Thanks.  I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat.  Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP.  Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had.  I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
    It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack.  A beautiful thing.  I'll play with it some more to see how it performs.  But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant. 
    So far, so good.

  • Is there any way to use a late 2009 21.5 inch iMac as an external screen for an early 2011 MacBook Pro?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to work out if there is any way that I can use my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac (running OS X 10.6.8; mindisplay port) as an external or second monitor when connected to my early 2011 13" MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8; thunderbolt).
    From what I've read online, I gather that I cannot simply connect the two with a minidisplay port to thunderbolt cable, as the iMac does not support target display mode. I know I can 'share screens', but this doesn't give me much of an improvement on size compared to just using my MacBook.
    Are there any other potential work arounds I might have missed? Any suggestions (or even conclusive answers to suggest I'm wasting my time by continuing to think about it!) would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    Sorry but no, you are asking about Target Display Mode and the 2009/2010 21.5" iMacs did not support that, only the 27" iMacs did. You can read up on TDM in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Anyone have issues with Sata 3 SSD in the 2011 Macbook Pro

    Hi Guys and Gals.
    Does anyone have issues with the Macbook Pro 2011 Model with a Sata3 Solid State Drive ?
    I have issues and have a Vertex3 made by OCZ. I am in active discussions with OCZ to find a resolution on their end. I have also contacted Apple Care and Intel and have run into dead ends.
    However I am bringing my MBP for a repair, logic board replacement and will post the results after they change the logic board for me.
    Check my thread on OCZ: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?89970-A-call-to-all-Macbo ok-Pro-2011-Users-with-SATA3-Issues
    Regards,
    Jase

    Well, my My Genius appointment went very much as anticipated - it might well be a SATA III connection but Apple they do not support SATA III drives - least of all other people's.
    Furthermore, they do not actually support anything other than the original configuration as sold - so given that I bought a 750 GB HD version, that is what I am stuck with - I asked Apple (London Regent St) if they could upgrade it to one of their own SSDs if I paid for it - they could not.  They can only repair the machine to its original condition. They could not even advise me as to what Apple co-branded SSD I should look for to be compatible with this model - 512 Gb drives do come up on Ebay - Apple / Toshiba seems to be the normal one - but they couldn't advise if that would work or not. So it could be good money after bad.
    Anyhow, they finally agreed to swap the cable, for a charge, so that will take two or thee days, plus the 5mins to do the job.  I will post the results of the cable swap when I have it. They could not tell me whether it would be a different version of the SATA cable to the one already in the machine - but I asked to keep the old one so I can see if there is any visible difference.
    It does seem strange that Apple support thunderbolt drives - which you can't even buy yet, but don't support SATA III in either Mac Pro or MAcBook Pro given that the full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
    Two and a bit years is a long time in tech terms.

    I, as so many others, are also facing issues with my SATA 3 SSD. I've been reading about people having issues on OCZ's forum, on Intel's forum and all over the web. I have a MBP 2011 13" bought last month with the 6/6 setup.
    Hotjase, have you come to understand that the issue lies with the logic board? One would hope that Apple would owe up and come forward if there are in fact faulty logic borards. I have read that Apple have gone from 6/3 to 6/6 and then back to 6/3, though I do not know if this is applicable to all MBP models, or just some. As I sayed, I have the 13" model.
    SdeS, what was the result of your talk with the Genius? Did you receive a new cable? If so what result?

  • When will the 2011 MacBook Pros hit the refurb page?

    I've been watching the refurbished inventory, but have not seen any of the 2011 MBP 13" or 15". When do you think they will begin to appear on the Apple site?
    Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

  • Hi I am upgrading to the new MacBook Pro 13inch. I am trying to decide whetherr to get the MS Office for Mac 2011 or iWork 09.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  Cheers

    As per title above

    Choose if:
    MS OfficeMac - $$
    If you need to keep your Office skills up to remain employable and/or exchanging some files with Windows Office users.
    99% of the business world uses Office on Windows PC's. Copy protected.
    If you are constantly exchanging files with Windows users, it's better to use Windows because of formatting and slight differences between the Win Office and OfficeMac versions, fonts etc. You can then choose to install Windows onto your Mac in a virtual machine program, then run Win Office in that, BootCamp or just get a Windows PC and Office.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    iWork -$$
    If you plan to remain totally in the limited 6% Mac market share  environment with little file exchange options with Windows/Linux users. Copy protected.
    LibreOffice - free
    A donationware suite of office programs like Office that accepts Office files, cross platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) that offers maximum compatibility, only fonts and formatting could be thrown off a little between platforms. Not copy protected, open source software.
    If you wish to be able to open and access dam near anything from Windows users without paying for OfficeMac, don't need 100% or near 100% compatibility with Windows Office, then this is a excellent choice.
    If you ever should need to send a LibreOffice file to someone else to edit or alter, you can also send the appropriate OS copy of the installer package and it will cost them nothing to use.

  • Is there any way to disable electric whining on the 2011 Macbooks Pro, when scrolling in Firefox and opening new tabs?

    This happens only in Firefox w/o addons; under Mac OS X 10.6.7

    To specify the issue: A high-frequency noise can be heard coming from the left upper side of the Macbook (from beneath the 1 key). It can only be heard when scrolling and opening new tabs in firefox and is not influenced by the volume level and muting.

    one of the benefits of a laptop
    Laptop is a misnomer often applied to notebook computers.
    have Apple say their computers should not be used on my lap
    Notebook computers violate all basics of ergonomics to facilitate portability. Many users require more comfort than is achieved when using a notebook, which is why stands, external keyboards and mice are all offered by third party vendors to enhance the user experience of their notebook computer.
    No human being that has reasonably good posture habits should consider using their lap as a top for a portable computer.
    It makes my neck hurt just thinking about it........
    I can't believe that OSHA, Workman's Comp Insurance, etc., doesn't have rules against the improper use of notebook computers.....
    is supposed to be the ability to not be at a desk.
    One of the benefits of these computers is portability. Whether or not that is involves a desk is up to conditions at hand.
    Misuse of this portability does not negate the positve attributes that abound.
    If you don't want red marks on your lap, use the machine properly....

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro 13inch, 1TB SSD?

    Quick question, Can my machine accept the 1tb SSD? and does anybody here with the same machine as mine already has the 1tb ssd?
    Im looking to upgrade my machine to 8gb Ram and 1tb SSD (if possible). I saw a great deal of the 1tb SSD from samsung

    Yes, your MBP will accept a 1 TB SSD.  It just has to be a SATA 2.5" dia. form factor.  Samsung gets good reviews on these forums.
    You 2011 MBP will accept up to 16 GB RAM.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
