Can I have Power Nap on a 2011 MacBook Pro with an SDD drive?

I have a MacBook Pro 17 inch (Early 2011) which I bought from Apple built to order in September 2011. I chose an APPLE SSD TS512C for an internal hard disk. Is there any way how I activate Power Nap since its available to all other MacBooks with SDD hard disks?

No unfortunately, the Enable Power Nap is not in the Energy Saver Preferences Pane. Yet from William's answer my MacBook Pro cannot enable Power Nap since my SSD HD is not onboard flash storage (which I guess come soldered on the motherboard).

  • No Power Nap option Late 2011 MacBook Pro

    Here is what the specs for Power Nap say:
    Power Nap
    Supports MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Does that mean that Power Nap is not supported with my Late 2011 MacBook Pro?

    I was reading that it is because one of the requirements is flash storage, , so I don't think it will be coming in an update. I have a Feb 12 MBP and probaly won't get the upgrade either.
    I had read that too. Fortunately, I meet that requirement. I have one of those expensive Apple SSD's. So that was not my problem. Sadly, I just don't have the right hardware for this feature.

  • Can't locate Power Nap on Late 2011 Macbook air

    I've just upgraded to Moutain Lion and can't find the Power nap function anywhere. I have a new Air so I would expect to see it???
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    07/25/12 @ 12:44 PM - determined your machine is supported
    07/25/12 @ 12:55 PM - determined a firmware update would be needed but that one does not currently appear to be available
    07/25/12 @ 12:58 PM - reiterated discovery made at 12:55 PM
    07/25/12 @ 1:54 PM - reiterated that you don't have the functionality available (4th time)
    I think it's safe to say that we've determined that a feature of OS X Mt. Lion (on supported machines) is not appearing to currently be available. So we can safely expect a future firmware update to be released that enables the functionality. A firmware update that currently does not appear to be available.

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT2845 can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS

    I can't get my apple magic mouse to work on my boot camp,running Windows 7 Ultimate on my early 2011 macbook pro with latest Marveric OS........ It works perfectly on the Apple ,

    Not sure if this will help anyone, but I had trouble installing on 10.8.
    I then found this particular support page:

    Be patient with the download, it takes some time ... When it has downloaded, follow the install instructions. It works well.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with no DVD drive (Remote Install-ish issue)

    1 MacBook Pro sans DVD, blank HD.
    1 MacBook Pro with DVD, under Lion.
    1 Firewire cable.
    1 Leopard / Snow Leopard install DVD.
    Can I install SL on my old MBP using the DVD on my new MBP via FW ?

    My apologies for writing gibberish.
    I thought this was a more common issue, as I have read a lot about DVD drive sharing and Remote Install but I am not able to find a straight answer to my very simple situation.
    I have one old MacBook Pro that I bought the year 2006. It's the one sporting the Silver keyboard. The DVD drive is Broken (yes, there's a third option smarty pants. ). The Hard Drive in here is Erased.
    I have a new (not retina drive not yet) 2011 MacBook Pro with the Black Keyboard. It came with Snow Leopard preinstalled. Afterwards I installed Lion from the app store, and much afterwards I fabricated a Bootable-Lion-Installer-USB thingy and installed it again.
    Remote Install is Gone on Lion. They say the only option was firewire so I go and buy the firewire and it's still not straightforward. They say just click on the installer and choose the firewire Hard Drive (MacBook Pro) as destination. If I click on the installer it just tells me Leopard cannot overwrite Lion, which I already know.
    So my original question was, trying (and failing miserably) to avoid all danger: If it is possible to install Leopard (The OS that comes in the black and purple hollographic box with a big X) using the Install DVD inserted into the DVD drive of my new 2011 Black keyboard MacBook Pro with a Bootable-USB installed Lion OS connected with a 6 pin to 9 pin FireWire cable to an old MacBook Pro bought the year 2006 with a Silver keyboard and a broken DVD drive and which by the way has the hard drive already erased.
    And if it is, How can it be achieved.

    If your OS is fully up-to-date, that is close to impossible. The Flashback site has not been known to be active since long before August.
    Did you migrate any users from an older system, perhaps? It might have been transferred if that is the case.
    ISP's are famous for mis-diagnosing these things with regard to Macs, so you might want to challenge them to provide you with their logs and specifics about what they are seeing.
    Is it possible that another device is on your network that could be causing this, either something you own or a neighbor using your network?

  • How can I install Mavericks on a gifted 2011 MacBook Pro?

    My brother gifted me his late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Lion.
    I booted with command+r, launched the Disk Utility, and erased the disk.  I closed Disk Utility and selected "Reinstall Mac OS X."  The machine tells me that it needs to verify my computer's eligibility before it will download and restore Mac OS X, presumably because Lion was not free like Mavericks.  It then fails and says that it could not find installation information for the machine.
    Would it be possible for me to download the Mavericks install on an external hard drive, plug the external drive into the machine, and just install Mavericks using my Apple ID?  If so, what would be the steps to do this?
    Thanks

    Also, where on my machine does a full Mavericks install image download to when I download it from the App Store?

  • I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with 10.7..5 what is the next upgrade for this?

    MacBook Pro 10.7. 5 late 2011 next upgrade

    Another upgrade which may come first if not already, is to RAM with an increase in total capacity.
    Maximum Memory    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM
    Given Mavericks OS X 10.9.5 is said to no longer be available, you may wish to try your luck first
    with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 just in case your older computer does not like Yosemite 10.10.1. From
    what I understand, you'd likely pay a fee to get & use Mt Lion. That may be worth it, if the unit
    does not prefer Yosemite; and it may be difficult to revert to an older one after installing 10.10.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 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.

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.
    MacBook Pro 13-inch,
    2,7 GHz Intel Core i7,

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...
