SSD Install Experiences MacBook Pro 2011 i7

This is a report on the beastie that I installed in my MacBook Pro 2011:
http://thranblog.info/post/8615912997/ssd-install-experiences-macbook-pro-2011-i 7

The fan normally runs at about 2000rpms - if they're loud enough to actually hear, you might have a problem. Mine can rev up to about 4000rpms sometimes and I'll hear them then, but it's nothing consistent.
To see how fast your fans are running, download the free iStat Pro widget. If they're running abnormally fast, you could try a SMC reset to see if that will help.
I would also uninstall VirusBarrier - your really don't need av software on a Mac but if you feel as if you must have something, try the free ClamXav and/or Sophos for Mac (both recommended by our resident malware/virus guru, Thomas Reed).
Good luck,
Clinton

He's knowledgable about exactly what your wanting to do.
Some drawbacks, you can't boot from any OS (OS X or Windows) installer disk from a external optical drive the Superdrive goes into when you install the kit.

Why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program

why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program
does anyone know

The easiest way to produce double-sided publications is to print them on a printer that supports duplex printing. You can usually learn whether your printer supports duplex printing either by looking at the information that was included with the printer or by looking at the printer's properties. Some printers offer the option of automatically printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing). Other printers provide instructions so that you can manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing). Some printers do not offer duplex printing at all. If your printer doesn't offer automatic duplex printing, you can follow these steps to manually print on both sides of the paper. On the File menu, click Print. On the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer that you want. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Microsoft Word. Click Odd pages only. After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, reinsert the stack into the printer, repeat steps 1 through 3, and then click Even pages only. Depending on the printer model, you might have to rotate and reorder the pages to print the other side of the stack

Help with Snow Leopard "Re" Install on Macbook Pro

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. Upgraded to Lion. No problem. Last week, things got a little glitchy. A long download for iPhoto (among other things) would not work. I thought, why not upgrade to Mountain Lion. I purchase. Download... yet its not working, download corrupted. Tried again and again. Nothing. Tried to search some possible solutions, made it worse. System acted weird. Thought I should restart. Turned off. Would not start. Attempted safe mode start, bar goth 30% across screen, off. Put old Snow Leopard install CD in, booted from that. Started. Can't revert, but previously backed up important files, so I erase Mac HD. Pain in butt, but at least I'll start fresh, so I think. Every time I go to install from CD, it gets to the same 33 minutes to go and then and error happens saying it can't install the necessary support files. ??? What is going on? I'm prepared to scrap and replace the physical hard drive (not the first time, had a similar problem on my still going strong Mac Mini from years earlier. I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong, am I erasing wrong?
Suggestions appreciated greatly. I just want my laptop to work again!

Well, you have a mess.
Connect the Apple 10.6.3 DVD.
Reboot MBP with option key held down.
Choose SnowLeopard DVD
When DVD boots into install, choose Disk Utility from main menu
Choose the MBP drive in Disk Utility
Partition, 1 partition, option GUID, HFS Plus, Journaled
In Disk Utility FIrst Aid, Verify the Drive
Exit Disk Utility, but not installer
Start the Install from the Snow Leopard DVD
On reboot, follow additional setup procedures.
Choose Software Update, to get 10.6.8 updater and other files.
Go get coffee.
When updates are done, backup your MBP with TimeMachine.
Done.

Snow Leopard already installed on Macbook Pros?

I know this may seem like a stupid question but cut me some slack, I've never had a mac before.
I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro today. It came with a disc "Mac OS X Snow Leopard". Is this disc already installed on my computer or do I have to insert it and install it? It also came with two grey discs entitled "Applications Install DVD" and "Mac OS X install DVD". Are these also already installed? Thanks!

It's confusing. The disc just says "Mac OS X Snow Leopard". It doesn't say what version it is. It does say 1. Instal such and such, however I'm a PC user and usually the discs that come with the computer are already installed, they are just backup incase your computer has some sort of problem.
Actually I did just see on the front of the "Everything Mac" handbook it says, "10.5.7 Leopard" but, not knowing a mac, I wouldn't know if that was any different.
Do I have to install those grey discs as well?

Ram install on macbook pro 2011

I upgraded my RAM to 16GB because I do a lot of video conversion/editing with plans of doing more. I installed a 16 GB Corsair (2 X 8GB 204-pin DDR3 10600 SO DIMM 1333MHz 9-9-9-24) seen at the link below. I check page outs vs page ins under activity monitor/system memory and saw that it went from over 25% to less than 10% (or 1 to 10) ratio as suggested here in an Apple Community discussion by OGELTHORPE. Is there another way to get a measurement of the difference the ram upgrade made?

I presume that if you install the original RAM, the MBP functions correctly.
You seem to have tried all possible combinations. The only thing I can suggest is to contact Crucial and see what guidance they can offer. Your situation is a puzzle to me.
Ciao.

Where in NYC can I buy a new Macbook Pro 2011 unibody trackpad and the tools i need to replace it myself?

I am going to NYC in a week and I'm wondering if there is a store where I can buy a new trackpad for my Macbook Pro 2011 unibody. I would also like to buy the tools i need to replace it myself. I can't find anything when I search the interwebz.

The problem is that when the machine is closed, it goes to sleep, and in sleep mode, all that goes on is that a bare trickle of power is used to keep the contents of RAM alive. Networking is definitely not active while asleep.
Now, regarding ds store's solution, that's a fairly bad idea. If the machine is just sitting at your desk, you don't need to close it, or if you feel a need to close it you can use Kappy's solution. (Although, it should be noted that apps like InsomniaX and Caffeine do not, as far as I know, keep a machine awake when the lid is shut.) If you're worried about passersby seeing your screen, just activate the screen saver instead. You could even require a password to dismiss the screen saver for added security.
On the other hand, if the machine is being transported, keeping the lid open and the machine running is not a good idea. The sudden motion sensor ought to protect your hard drive against damage caused by moving the machine around... if it's working properly, and I'd rather not depend on an "if" to prevent hardware damage to the machine. Plus, if it's in a bag and you've forced it to stay running, it could overheat due to lack of ventillation.
So, long story short: if you're transporting it, close it and deal with logging back in to the network, and if it's on your desk, don't bother closing it.

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

HT3986 i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed microsoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates?

i made a dual boot of windows 7 and mac os x lion in my macbook pro .i installed m icrosoft support software also. now, can i install windows updates? do i turn on the automatic updating of updates?

yes you need the updates and patches.
Only some of the drivers that Windows will automatically install at times
and always make sure to insure it is using restore points
do all the maintenance andsuch as normal
use MS Security Essentials for AV is really top notch
Clean disk space
Use WinClone new program to inisure you have a restore image

Windows has a software updater built into Windows and when you install the Boot Camp drivers then it will install an Apple software updater also. I believe Windows is set to automatically download and install your updates as does the Apple software Updater. They both will update the individual files it needs to periodically.
"Microsoft updates" and "Windows updates" are basically the same thing in Windows. Are you talking about the "Windows support software" when downloading from Boot Camp Assistant? Apple installs a software updater for it's Boot Camp drivers in Windows 7 so you can do it manually or automatically.
The "Hot Fix" your referring to is only for certain motherboards built from other Windows only computer manufacturers and does NOT pertain to any Apple computers.
If you have a problem with your computer then it's best to ask a specific question so we can help better.

Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

HT1773 Unable to erase and re-install leopard OS in my macbook pro

Hi all
I wanted to re-install my macbook pro by using installation CD (given by apple). But when I tried to restart, unable to restart the computer even I was holding the C key.
How can format and re-install?
Kindly help
Regards
Suresh

There is not much to work with, Suresh.
For all we know it may have never worked, or it may be the wrong grey disk for your MacBook. You have done pretty well to go this long without requiring its use.
Two months ago I would have said buy another disk, the coloured retail 10.6 DVD with the image of the Snow Leopard. They used to be about $30, however finding one is now as difficult as finding a real one in the Himalaya.
If you live in the US, the 10.6 DVD can be ordered over the phone. Other countries… hard to say.
Essentially, I would question the disk,
which implies trying another 10.6.3 DVD that you know works,
or equally, inserting the one you have into another Mac just to see if that other Mac can see it, but not to proceed, just to see if it registers as bootable, using the alt/Option key during the startup phase.
