Brand new 2011 MacBook Pro Randomly freezing

Hi,
Im a bit concerned I have just got a BRAND NEW MacBook Pro 2011 and already I have had 4-5 random freezes where i have had to hold down the power button to bring it back to life!!
These have happend as i said just randomly, for example i lifted the lid to wake it from sleep mode and it just frooze on me, became totally unresponsive??
Another example was when i went to paste a url using cmd-v and it frooze on me??
I'm a bit dissapointed as I have just switched from windows PC's because I had had enough of that sort of thing and believed these where solid machines with very little issues comapred to a windows system!! and for 2k I don't exect it to freeze especially within a week!!
I'm hoping its down to software issues to which a software or OSx update will solve.
Any Ideas?

Hello, I have had very similar problems but with the MBP not even registering that a charger is plugged in (no light coming on and no change to the battery symbol).
I had a mid 2010 model that was sent in 4 times to be fixed, with no change, followed by the unit being replaced altogether with the latest 2011 model, only to find the issue persists (the charger was replaced early on as well).
The only retaining factor is the Lion software which forums have highlighted has effected charging when individuals have upgraded.
It is appalling that a company like Apple have not taken steps to address these issues and will go as far as to replace all components TWICE in one Laptop, as well as give out a new Laptop, without tackling the real problem.
Appalled and ultimately very disappointed.

Brand New 2011 Macbook pro Not Charging while Plugged in

I purhcased a brand new 2011 17" macbook pro. The macbook will charge up to 100% while nothing is plugged in. When i start running applications it will switch to "Not charging" on the toolbar. This is while its plugged in.
This has happned when i have just 2 apps open.
I DJ a nightclub and sometimes have 4 apps open, which is not a lot and this doenst happen with my 2009 17" macbook pro.
I have done the SMC reset and this still happens.
I have read all the fourms and googled it and see im not alone.
From what i can see, and makes sense is, the new Quad-Core processors use more power, and with just the macbook running, even openign up 2 apps, its using about 95W of power. With the powersupply only 85W, it makes sense how it can switch to not charging.
From what i have seen, it will actually go down to about 3% of charge and stay there. It will say Not chargeing for a while, then go away like its charging, then switch back to not charging. It basicllys charges it enough to keep it around 3%.
now if i turn off all apps, it will charge back up, but that is hard to do in the middle of DJ'n the nightclub.
I know my best friend has this same issue on his 2011 macbook pro, he bought online from Apple, and i got mine from an Apple store about 4 months later, so i know its not the same batch.
I just want to know if anyone else is seeing this on the 2011 quad-core laptops and does anyone know if Apple is aware of this and are there plans on updating the powersupply to provide more power. Maybe 85W is not enough to charge it.
I have not opened a ticket with Apple yet but i will.
I just wanted to post this up to see if anyone is seeing this same thing.
Thanks

Brand new 2011 macbook pro (preinstalled lion osx) is too slow! Is there anyway to role back to previous OS if it came pre-installed?

I purchased new macbook pro 15" with quad core 2.2 ghz intel i7, 8gb of ram. I swear to god it is slower than my previous 2008 macbook running leopard OS. I use heavy programs pretty often, adobe CS5 and 3D modeling and some rendering on the mac side and and a bit of 3D work with fusion on windows. I was really expecting a performance boost with the new computer, but Lion is annoyingly slow. Even if I am not using any of the heavy stuff and just browsing on the internet, it seems noticeably slower than the 2008 macbook. Typing lags sometimes, genie effect and opening effect lags. The iOS type features are also sluggish. I am about ready to start working again on my old macbook on leopard. I haven't had any issues with the machine completely freezing (though I have had to force quit apps a few times). It is definitely a usable machine, but for the price and newness I expect the performance to be better than the 2008 macbook. From what I have read on the forums, I am blaming the buggy Lion OS for my troubles. I figured the OS might still have some bugs as it was brand new, but this is more than I bargained for.
Does anyone know if it is possible to role back to Snow Leopard? I have heard it can't be done if the computer came pre-installed with Lion OS, but surely some clever people have figured a way...

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
I am not using Filevault, and the closest genius bar is 4 hours away, so I am trying to figure out a solution via internet. I will check out the Fusion update, though I expect that to be slow (that is the price you pay for running windows on a mac!)
I am surprised you havent noticed the resume/restore windows, docs, and apps feature (for both subsequent openings of program and reboot of system- new to Lion OS) I use the term feature lightly as they didnt seem to work properly initially, like they had cached older stuff than when I actually quit an app or shut down. After the first couple of times of the computer stalling trying to reopen an application with a heavy document or restarting and trying to open EVERY program I had used the day before, I disabled the features. To disable required a bit of a hack with Terminal.
to disable on restart:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/disable-reopen-windows-when-logging-back-in-in-ma c-os-x-lion-completely/
to disable resuming applications:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/18/disable-mac-os-x-lion-resume-window-restore/
--only that doesn't really work (which if you scroll through the comments below you will see what people post about it) I had to expose the hidden library, delete some stuff there, and run some stuff in terminal to get this feature totally disabled, blah blah blah.
These seem like good ideas, but definitely need some tweaking to work properly. I like the iOS features in Mission Control, but the lagging animations are absolutely unacceptable. Even dragging an icon across starts out jerky and sluggish. I never noticed any issue with the OS animations on the 2008 Macbook running Leopard.
Anyway, there are known compatibility issues with Lion and Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe CS5 products are what I use most often, so I would like to role back to Snow leopard, though it is reported that Apple has made that impossible on the new machines that shipped with Lion.

Brand New 2011 Macbook Pro 17" Feezing...

Hello all,
Just curious if anyone is experiencing system hang-ups even under normal conditions. I am a graphic designer and just made this purchase less than 2 weeks ago. This is very disappointing to say the least.
This is my very first Mac. I have been reading this all over the Web. Particulary the Macbook Pro.

17-inch, Late 2011
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB

Thx Dave...yeah will do. Seems like it's a common prob. From what I gather the gfx auto-switching may be the culprit. Have also experienced temps that are way out of the normal range. May be a GPU driver issue. I've always used Nvidia. So I'm unfamiliar with AMD...and related problems.
Anyway I'll give them a shout.

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

Order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from The Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

New 2011 macbook pro 13"-

Just got a new 2011 macbook pro 13".
What is the best way to run my guitar into it, to record in garageband without latency issues?
Thanx in advance for your help

The problem for me is that I've read reviews on several of the interfaces on the list I was directed to, where one person had no latency issues, and then somewhere else the poster/reviewer testifies that they were plagued by latency issues.
After forking out the cash for a new Mac and then a couple more for an an interface, that'd be a tough pill to swallow!!
Fortunately, it's not one you have to worry about.
The latency you're talking about is caused by the computer, not the interface:
The interface converts the audio from analog to digital and sends it into the computer. Once in the computer, it gets sent into Garageband (or whatever audio program you're using), and any effects you've selected are applied to it, and then it is sent back out to the interface to be reconverted into an analog signal you can hear.
All the "heavy lifting" occurs in the computer itself, so the source of latency is really the time it takes the computer to process the audio, apply the effects algorithms, and send it back to the interface.
(There is latency in any circuit, but the latency in the interface itself is negligible compared to how long it can be delayed in the computer).
Your new computer is plenty fast (and has enough RAM) to do basic recording without latency.
I'm guessing you won't even have to resort to the kind of "zero latency" local monitoring that Hangtime suggested (i.e. listening to your signal locally, bypassing its journey into your computer, through its algorithms, and back out again). Although as it's true that doing that always provides the least latency of all, if that's an important safety net for you, you might want to get an interface with that feature - a number of them now offer it.
But I would guess that if you plug any contemporary interface into your computer, and plug your guitar into it, you shouldn't be bothered by latency.
FWIW - a good online source for gear is Sweetwater. Here's their audio interface page for Firewire:
http://www.sweetwater.com/c683--FireWire_Audio_Interfaces
... and for USB:

Firewire interfaces tend to be higher end than USB, but cost a little more as well.
Good luck!

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l nudge cursor

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

Brand new i5 Macbook Pro making "clunking" sounds with any sort of movement

I bought a brand new 15" Macbook Pro with a core i5 processor a few months ago. While it is the first Mac I have owned after a lifetime of owning and building PC's, I love it to death.
Anyways, anytime there is any sort of movement, say, if I'm moving from my desk to the couch and I pick the laptop up, it makes a clunking noise which to me sounds exactly like a failing hard drive. The difference is that it only clunks once or twice during the movement, and then stops once I stop moving the laptop. This happens even if I move the laptop very carefully.
My girlfriend has had her 13" macbook for years, and it does not do this.
It doesn't seem to affect my performance (yet), but i'm wondering, is this normal? Is this maybe the warning sign of a hard drive that could be failing prematurely?

it is the sudden motion sensor and what you hear is correct it comes from your drive . when the accelorometer detects certain G's it shuts the drive which makes the drive head park suddenly and the " clunk " you hear is the drive head parking . while it's perfectly ok ( you can not hurt your drive by parking it ) it might get boring after a while if you move it around too much .. you can go ahead and disable your sudden motion sensor at the cost of risking damage when your machine absorbs some proper shock . your choice .. if you google disable sms in google you will get the code to do it if you ever wish to do so
mine is disabled for good but then I am using an SSD

Macbook Pro randomly freezes time to time

My Macbook Pro, end '11, randomly freezes from time to time. Especially when I'm on iTunes/Spotify/VLC/Skype. I ran the Etrecheck program and got this output. Could someone tell me how to fix this? It isn't exactly really ****** but it does get frustrating to have to wait 5-30 seconds.

Nurul N,
you can find out what resetting the SMC would do by following the link and reading what’s there.
Which tech guy did that? Did it come from the factory with 8 GB of RAM installed, or was it upgraded to have 8 GB of RAM after you purchased it? If the latter was the case, then the possibility exists that the freezing up is due to a fault in the currently installed RAM.

MacBook Pro randomly freezes

I just bought the new 13" MacBook Pro less than a month ago, and randomly it will freeze. By freeze, I mean nothing will respond. The trackpad, keyboard, display, music, mouse will ALL lock and the only thing to do is shut down using the power button. There is never a warning when it will happen, as it has happened when several applications were running, as well as none. I do not know what to do. Apple support suggests an erase and install.
Help?

If this were just a normal repair job, I'd suggest just sending it in for repair would be fair. However, knowing how sinister this problem is, I suggest firmly but politely requesting a replacement. Some people have blamed this problem on the RAM. RAM can indeed cause this kind of problem. But there are just too many people having this problem (even with RAM that shipped with their machine straight from Apple) that the problem seems to lie elsewhere. In a laptop, there isn't much inside the case except for the logicboard. Well people have reported on these forums that they have had their logicboard replaced only to have the problem happen again. This would suggest that another piece of hardware (though not much is left except the display, optical drive, and RAM) or even software issue could be the problem. Well everybody who calls in about this issue to Apple gets the "Archive and Install" speech, which we do, only to have the problem remain.
You shouldn't have to deal with any repair this soon into your purchase. Mistakes happen. If a key fell off the keyboard, you'd deserve a repair, not a replacement. You have already pretty much ruled out a corrupt OS install of being the problem. So it's either faulty hardware or a really obscure bug in software that has yet to be fixed.
I'd still suggest asking for a replacement. This is against their policy, so what I would do is phone up Customer Relations first, explain the situation and see if they'll authorize a replacement. Then head to the store with your case number. If they won't authorize a replacement, and you're fine with trying a repair, tell them that if the repair does not fix the matter that you would like a replacement as the next step because the problem fundamentally makes your computer unreliable. I have had it freeze during presentations. I have had it freeze and corrupt data. This is totally unacceptable of any computing product today let alone one made by Apple.
Good luck.

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future?

Can the flash storage hard drives in the brand new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops that were just released a few days ago (10.22.13) be upgraded/replaced in the future? I will need more than the basic 256GB for sample libraries using music software, among other things, but currently larger flash drives from Apple are too expensive. I ask because I'm in the process of buying one of the new 15inch Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops right now (or at least right after I get an answer to this question).
I saw in the Mac store when I started looking at the build options for ordering the Macbook Pro that under Memory it said the memory was built into the computer and therefore could not ever be replaced or upgraded in the future. So I was wondering if something similiar might be the case with the flash storage drives even though the same wasn't written under the hard drive options? If these flash drives can be replaced in the future then I would just purchase the starting 256GB drive and suffer through using connected external hard drives, as unwieldy as that would be, until there were potential replacement flash drives with larger storage capacties available on the market or through Apple for more reasonable prices. But if the hard drives in these laptops can't be replaced/upgraded I would go for the 500GB drive option (even though paying an additional $300, before taxes, for just 244GBs more storage space is absolutely outrageous no matter how great flash drives are with their read/write speeds, no moving parts to break, and lighter weight/thinner builds allowing for an overall thinner laptop). I would even go for the larger 1TB option, which is really what I need, except that costs an additional $700 which is more than enough to buy me a new 50inch, HD, flatscreen TV from a reputable brand if I were so inclined! (And yes, I understand the youth of the technology, current limits to flash drive capacities, and the reason for the high prices. I know I'm not getting bilked...)
So yeah, does anybody have an answer to this question? Can the flash hard drives in the new Macbook Pro Retina Display laptops, just released, be upgraded/replaced in the future? Any answers are greatly appreciated and will save me some much needed cash on my purchase of one of these laptops! And I should also ask, if so, can they be replaced by the laptop owner with the normal toolset through the normal, easily done methods of hard drive replacement in laptops that has been common, or would I have to bring the laptop to a Apple technician?
Thanks everybody!

The modules are proprietary. They are installed in a slot secured with a tiny screw.
macsales.com has been working on providing aftermarket modules for the older models that were on the SATA Bus.

My MacBook Pro randomly freezing ever since new logic board?

My mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13" keeps ok randomly freezing ever since I've had a new logic board fitted after my macbook needed a new one (it was fixed through stormfront which is an official apple retailer). It will just freeze, won't be able to move the mouse or anything, and sometimes when I turn it off by holding down the power button, I can most of the time hear a click, but not everytime. Sometimes it freezes when starting up, sometimes it lasts a while before freezing, but recently it's been more like every 5-10 minutes. Can anyone help me as to why this is happening and what the problem may be? I'm running OS X Mavericks. Thankyou.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
