Can I update my macbook pro late 2011 to use bluetooth 4.0

I got a late 2011 Mac book pro currently running on Mac OS 10.9.5. I wish to update to Yosmite only if I have continuity and Handoff features are supported.
Please do provide me with series of steps to update the Late Mac book pro to support the Handsoff and continuity in Yosmite.

Is it a 21.5 or 27" ? Try to look at ifixit : https://fr.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2428+Bluetooth+Board+Replac ement/5948
It seems the board doesn't match macbook pro's at all.
Look at iMac 2012 : https://fr.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+21.5-Inch+EMC+2544+AirPort-Bluetooth+Card +Replacement/16607.
Look at what a member wrote :
I successfully upgraded the Wi-Fi Bluetooth card in my late 2012 iMac to 802.11ac following this guide! The new card is now the same as what´s in the new 2013 iMacs, I used the 2013 iMac teardown to find the right part:)

So, 2012 can be upgraded to 2013 wifi ac/bluetooth but 2011 is a totally different story, my 2 cents ? forget about it, or hope i'm wrong.

I can't update my MacBook Pro Late 2011 NSURLErrorDomain error - 1012.)( - 1012)

This is what I get whenever I try to update my OS X to 10.8.5
I have MacBook Pro 15" With OS X 10.7
I bought OS X 10.8 from day one and I was updating everything were normal
until today ?
what should I do ?
How to fix this ?

You might try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Then download and install: OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.5 (Combo).

Video issues after update - 15" Macbook Pro (Late 2011)

I recently ran some updates for my mac and ever since then, I've been having video issues where my screen is showing horizontal lines. The lines come and go as I make changes to the screen (like minimizing a window) and they came in go and varying degrees of badness. Icons will also start missing unless I hover over them or make some other video change in that area of the screen.
It could be a coincidence that it occurred after making the updates, but it is worth noting.
OS: 10.7.4
Model: 15" 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7, 4 GB, Late-2011
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB

MacBook Pro late 2011 - Wrong uses of graphic card

Hi everyone,
I have installed windows 7 on my bootcamp, I had issues with the quality of the game so I decided to install Catalyst AMD, but it didn't work as I expected, So I uninstalled it and I runned the bootcamp CD to reinstall every driver as they should be. Getting bored of Windows I decided to reboot my mac to Mac and I don't know why but I want to go to the specification of my Macbook Pro and I realised that my MacBook Pro was using the wrong graphic card as the main one. I mean I don't know enough about technology to be sure of what I see, it's why I'm posting and I am also giving you a screen sharing so you can make your self an idea of the situation. Any body has an idea of what I should do ? Is this maybe the reason my games that usually runs at full speed(FPS) suddenly runs at a lower speed (FPS) ?
Sincerely,
Fred

"I have been reading all the posts about connection problems with the MacPros."
People come here because they have a problem. It's like the emergency room in a hospital. No well people. I never have had any issue connecting via airport anywhere. I've had 3 PowerBooks and this is my 2nd MacBook Pro. It's a matter of setting it up correctly from the start.

I just updated my MacBook Pro late 2011 15" to Mountain Lion. Whenever I open an app like VLC,Forklift,GoogleEarth,Photo Booth my color tone changes into a colder color. How can i disable this?

Hello,
Mountain Lion is great, but i have been facing some difficulties, first of all my apps were gone i had to reinstall all most all of them.
That is not the big problem, the problem is that whenever i open apps like photobooth, lightroom, or vlc my color tone changes. This is used to happen when I opened really intense apps eg mafiaII or like GTASA. Is there any way to disable this?

try disabling it, take a took at these snaps from my phone. Might not be really clear but can give you an idea
Hope this is clear,
Thanks for the suppport

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, a macbook pro of this year should not be operating like this, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

You have a hardware problem. It is probably the hard drive is either to full, not enough free space, or it is starting to fail.
If you have an external drive connec that to the system and use the Recovery HD, Command + r keys at startup, to install a clean fresh copy of OS X Lion on the external then run the system from that. It will be slower but if you don't get the beachball then that is the sign your internal drive is on its way out or is filled up with files and not enough free space.

Can't find the Airplay icon! I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. Yes I am sure that it is Late 2011 because I looked up the serial number and the website says it is indeed MacBook Pro Late 2011. I just bought an Apple TV and I want to use Airplay but I CANNOT find the Airplay icon on the upper right menu bar. I updated my software and everything but I still dont see it! What do I need to do inorder for me to use Airplay? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

What Mac do you have? It needs to be at least 2011
OSX needs to be at least 10.8
Has nothing to do with Internet, you need to check your local network and also make sure both ATV and Mac are on the same network. Airplay should also be enabled on ATV

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.
MacBook Pro:
Vendor Name:    Apple, Inc.
Device Name:    MacBook Pro
UID:    0x0001000A17016E60
Firmware Version:    22,1
Port:
Status:    No devices connected
Link Status:    7
Port Micro Firmware Version:    FFFF.FF.FF

You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

MacBook pro late 2011 i7 8GB 750GB MAC OSX Lion freezes on wake up

Hi,
My MacBook pro late 2011 i7 8GB 750GB MAC OSX Lion (up to date) 1 week old freezes on wake up.
Plugged on power or not, same issues.
No apps running.
When it goes to sleep itself i wake it up it freezes for few seconds
When i put it to sleep mode same issue.
With the lid same issue...
I already try setting up the sleep mode from 3 to 0 with terminal command it didn't work.
Can it be an hardware issue ?
Any ideas ?

Dear TheSmokeMonster, Dear all MacBook pro 13'' late 2011 users,
Here is the update.
As TheSmokeMonster mentionned (above) they asked me to reinstall MAC OSX Lion by shutting down the computer and holding cmd + R while switching it off. Then you choose the language and you are good to go for a looooonngg 4GB download (it took me 8hours yeah chinese ADSL :-/ )
Lion reinstalled itself automatically and restarted. - it did not solve the issue.
I called Apple Care again and we try to run the hardware diagnostic by restarting the computer and holding D. FYI do not try it as this command does not work on the new version of macbook pro.
Here is the intersting part! As the Apple Care already did everything they could to help me. We booked an appointment the my local Apple Store in Shanghai (a real one )
The Genius remake again the SMC and PRAM reset - same issues and he also tried to boot Lion from his own external hard drive - Same issues. So we started to think that it was a Hardware problem.
We tried another MBP 13'' late 2011 (last hardware update) in the shop to see if it works properly and it DOESN'T!
Yeah you heard me. I have been trying more than 10 MBP 13'' (2.4Ghz 4GB and 2.8Ghz 4GB) put them asleep and they all freeze on wake up!! it also does it on Mac book air 13'' it seems to be a global issue on all the new 13'' machines. A compatibility problem between Lion and the new hardware architecture of the 13'' ? just my guess.
Anyway FYI this issue doesn't occur on MBP 15 and 17"
I was just amazed by this global problem so was the genuis. We could not find any solutions cause even a replacement one will have the same problem. They told me i could change for a 15" but i had to go back to the Apple shop where i bought it which is 2000Kms away not really convenient So i file the cas and i took my MBP 13'' back with me.
They will contact me later for further explanation.
To be continued.
