Can I upgrade my USB ports from 2.0 to 3.0 in my macbook pro(Late 2011)?

Im thinking about doing some upgrades and i wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade these usb ports

The only upgrades you can do are increasing the RAM and installing larger and/or faster HDD/SSD.
Ciao.

  • Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

    Hi eveyone,i just check online that you are entitle for a free upgrade to new OS X Lion  if you buy a mac book pro from June to July 2011. Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

    When it says on Apples website that it runs from june - july 2011, I seriously doubt you can get it for free when you bought it already in April.
    Cheers

  • How do I upgrade to Mavericks from Lion with a Macbook Pro late 2011?

    How do I upgrade to Mavericks from Lion with a Macbook Pro late 2011?

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store.
    If you meet the Mavericks requirements then you can install Yosemite at no charge.

  • After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time.

    After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time. Its completely random and i already checked all apps in use and its not from them.

    Sounds like Notifications app.
    Maybe some other app. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems tab: remove all entries with the minus sign underneath. This will not uninstall anything, you have to start those apps by hand now. Restart.
    Still there?
    Yes: Restart again while holding the shift key, this will start the mac in SafeMode: only the necessary items are loaded to run.
    Still there?
    Yes: Make an etrecheck list and post it here.
    No: Restart, put the items in the LoginItems back, one by one, restart after each entry, and you will find the "culprit"
    Please report accordingly. I will be back in 24 hours.

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

    ...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • 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.

  • When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
    I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" ,  I thought is the same position like MBP15"
    I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
    Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!  
    P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

    I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?

    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.

    I'm sorry, but you can only replace the hard drive and the RAM. The rest of the hardware is soldered onto the logic board, so it's not possible to replace it
