Comapatibility of samsung ssd to macbookpro 13inch early 2011 model.
Is macbook pro 13inch early 2011 compatible with 1tb samsung evo 840 or 512gb samsung evo pro 840?
Thank you.

romdogg,
I have a 512 GB Samsung 840 PRO in my 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and it’s perfectly compatible. Since you have an Early 2011 model, it would run even better in yours, since your MacBook Pro supports SATA III burst throughput, while mine only supports SATA II.

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 does not see second thunderbolt display anymore. My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 (supports Thunderbolt) does not see the second thunderbolt display anymore.

Does anyone else experience these problems and/or have solutions

Hello ROBLAHAY,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Air. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are talking about using two external Thunderbolt displays (in addition to the internal display) with your Mid 2011 MacBook Air 11-inch, you may want to be aware that only a single external Thunderbolt display is supported on that model, as noted in the following article:
3. How many Apple Thunderbolt Displays can I use with my Mac in OS X?
The table below indicates how many Thunderbolt displays can be connected to Thunderbolt-capable Mac computers in OS X.
Computer
Maximum connected displays
Thunderbolt-capable Macs with Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics can support one connected Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch).

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) and (13-inch, Late 2011)1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.3 GHz
Mac mini with Lion Server (Mid 2011)
One Thunderbolt display

Severe wireless problems; MacBook Pro 13inch Early 2011

I just installed updates on my MacBook Pro 13inch early 2011. I now have severe problems with my wireless. What can I do to undo the updates? One of them was a firmare update.

There is generally no need to undo the Updates, just Re-Do your wireless setup:
System Preferences > Netowrk > WiFi > ( Assist Me ) ...

I want to upgrade the ram on my macbook pro 13inch (early 2011). i found an 8Gb (4Gb x2) PNY "mac compatible" that is DDR3 PC3-10666 but my macbook is a PC3-10600. Do i need to use a ram with the exact specifications that my macbook lists?

Yes that is your best bet. Without looking at it too closely double check your options here:

New MacBookPro 13" (early 2011) not properly displaying 1920x1200 on an external display

Hi,
A week ago I got a new MacBookPro 13". Early 2011 model, the ones that now come with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 video card. I am connecting it to a Sun 24.1" LCD Monitor v4 (http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/desktop-workstations/030743.ht m) through a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. Supposedly the Sun monitor is running at 1920x1200 @ 60hz (with the MacBookPro at its original resolution of 1280x800).
The problem is that the image on the Sun monitor is not using the whole screen. The MacOs is 10.6.7 and I have downloaded all updates as of today (June 13 2011). I am *not* mirroring displays, of course.
Now, for the record, I still have my old MacBook 13", which the new one was supposed to replace and this problem is *not* present. 1920x1200 on the external Sun display uses all the screen. That laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M video card. Its MacOS is also 10.6.7, with all software updates as of today.
My current suspicion is the new MBP is somehow trying to force the aspect ratio of the external display to be that one of HD, but it is only a suspicion. Any help with this please? Is something known? Is it a feature or a defect of my laptop and I should try to get another one? If it is a feature, does it mean that I will not be able to fully use any of the three 24.1" Sun monitors that I have? (one at home, one on each of my two offices?)
Thanks...
Manuel

For some reason, using a dvi adapter instead of a vga one works fine.

MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model: Auto Shutdown/Restart Problem

Hey guys!
This is my first time to sign in, join the community, and ask a question or create a discussion. FYI, I really have little knowledge on tech stuff so please bear with me. Here's my problem, and I hope you can give out your suggestions:
I have a MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model which I have upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion.
A month or two ago, it had started shutting down or restarting at random times. As time passed, this problem became more frequent.
I finally decided to have it checked at Digital Hub, a licensed Apple distributor. After almost a week, they've finally diagnosed that the problem is with my battery. I got my MacBook pro back around 2 (two) weeks ago, and ever since then I had to use an outlet in order for it and myself to work properly. Right now, I'm still saving up to purchase new batteries.
Recently, however, I've noticed that my MacBook Pro auto restarts even when plugged. Take note, RESTART and no longer shutting down completely. Upon further trials, I've finally concluded that it does so only during the use of heavy programs such as Diablo 3, Final Cut Pro X, and when rendering with iMovie. I have yet to try with Adobe products, particularly with Lightroom and Photoshop, and see if it does the same. But more or less, that's what I've noticed so far.
Given that I still haven't purchased the battery yet, I know it's still vague to know the real probelm/solution. But with the given situations, what are you views on this matter? Please let me know. It'd be of great help. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

(Note, I'm a starting out Multimedia Arts Student and photographer. I have little knowledge of the industry for now, but I'm willing to learn. So please forgive me if I don't understand your suggestions at once if they are very in depth or technical.)

Thanks for taking so much time in helping me.
Just an update:
2 loops/passes done - no errors.
Called up Digital Hub and talked to the technician, he says there are 3 possible problems:
1. Battery (which is still inside the laptop) may cause some disturbances with the electric current
2. Software related - most likely re-formatting may be needed
3. Video card may have failed, which means complete change of the logic board ----> worst case
I'm crossing my fingers that it's either of the first two.

Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
2011 models must use:
•204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
And 2012 models must use:
•204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
So here's the video:
Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
Good luck,
Clinton

HT201300 What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch early 2011 model to an external projector so it will display the computer screen image through the projector?

What cable should be used to connect a macbook pro, 13 inch, early 2011 model to an external projector so the project displays the image on the computer screen?

You will need a cable or adapter with a minidisplay connection for the MBP. That will be inserted in the Thunderbolt port. The other end is dependent upon the connections of the projector which you have not listed.
Ciao.

Can Macbook Pro Early 2011 model support 16 Gb RAM?

I own an early 2011 model macbook pro and was looking to upgrade the ram. I know it says that the maximum is 8 Gb but i have seen outside sources telling me that 16 Gb is fine. Is it possible or safe for my laptop to do this?

Yes, your model will accept 16gB of RAM. See specs below.
Maximum Memory 16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
try changing yours too and let me know how it goes.

MBP 13 in Early 2011 Model OS Upgrade Options?

MBP 13 in Early 2011 Model. Currently running OS X 10.7.5 (Lion), but want to upgrade to 10.8 or newer. What is the best option? I've heard Yosemite hasn't worked too well for many users and just want to upgrade to at least 10.8 because many video editing applications require it now. As an added piece of info, I plan to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB.

Installing Windows 7 on Replacement SSD in optical bay Early 2011 MBP

So i just bought a 120gb SSD and a optical bay enclosure that i installed into my early 2011 MBP. I also bought a optical drive external usb enclosure. I was hoping that I could use bootcamp to install Windows 7 onto the SSD but when i go through the bootcamp menu and my laptop restarts im stuck with a blank black screen. Ive also tried using bootcamp to create a bootable USB (which i had to do a work around to get to work because it supposed to only work for MBA) that didnt work. Can anyone help?

ANYONE???

SSD in MacBook Pro early 2011

I'm upgrading my macbook pro 2011. I have already put 16GB of RAM and now I want to put a ssd, I found a good cost, is the Samsung SSD 840 Series 500GB but looking community I found several problems with the compatiblity. I wonder if these incompatibilities have already been resolved and if there are any SSD is fully compatible with the Macbook Pro because I do not want to have headaches because of it.

I noticed this after I had read through this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145724?start=0&tstart=0
If you google the same issue many links come up in various forums. Not a huge problem, just there are known issues.
I guess it is a moot point for this thread fiven gabriel_neto does not have a discrete chip.

SSD HDD setup in Early 2011 - SSD Read Only?

So I recently upgraded my Early 2011 MBP with a 240 gb Sandisk Extreme SSD and a Seagate Maximus XT 750gb 7200 RPM drive. I installed Mountain Lion as a clean install on the SSD and moved my Users folder to the HDD by doing the advanced options thing I had been hearing about in a few other threads.
Now all of a sudden my SSD is Read Only and it won't let me change the permissions (nor repair the permissions in Disk Utility) which is odd because I am te admin (and only user on the comp)
When I changed the users folder I added a second Admin account (admin 1 is just MY NAME and Admin 2 was named MY NAME - TEST) so I wonder if that has anything to do with it,
I would really like to not have to format all over again so any help with this would be great. Thanks

Thank you-
I think SATA II speeds might be adequate for my needs- much faster than the stock HDD, and the OS, Program and file handling capabilities of the Fusion Drive setup might be worth it. I guess I'll just have to try it, see if it works at all...
Of course, the speed gain is important, but perhaps only if long term reliability is maintained-
Thanks again-
