Does the Mac Book Pro 17" (early 2011) come with a restart CD?

Does the Mac Book Pro 17" Osx lion (early 2011) come with a start up CD. Trying to install Windows 7 and it ask to install the CD that came with the Mac Book Pro, but my box did not come with a CD?
Thank you in advance.

Actually the Late 2011's came with the horrible OS X Lion 10.7 and a ability to install OS X on a blank drive by holding the command option and r keys down on a wired Ethernet/Internet connection. (Internet Recovery)
The command r held at boot is for Recovery HD, which is on a partition on the boot drive, which yours is obviously blank.
Once you get Lion on it, and get to AppStore, you can upgrade to worst OS X Mountian Lion 10.8 from there or redownload it by loggin in with your AppleID.
There is a way to shoehorn OS X 10.6 onto that machine (fastest and runs older PPC software) if your interested.

  • Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel

    Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel
    16GB DDR3 Apple MacBook Approved RAM.
    I upgraded to a 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive, install was fine using IOS 10.6.8 but using Logic Express PinWheel of death
    would appear loading tunes, taking ages to load with 16GB RAM? and loading tracks from a Firewire Drive which uses less processor.
    I goto Samsung and get the latest Firmware and create an image and burn it to CD and run it from a Command line. The Pin Wheel continues,
    I upgrade to Maverick in an attempt Apple would know about Samsung's top of the range SSD drives? perhaps not. I have even more issues since the upgrade,
    Itunes unresponsive, missing Apps like Ableton Live 8, more loading Pin Wheel issues.

  • Does the Mac Book Pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    Does The Mac Book pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    No.  The storage is all SSD.
    Ciao.
    If you are referring to an optical drive, that is also NOT included.  You would need to connect one externally.

  • Does the mac book pro 3 year care plan have a student discount?

    I purchased my laptop (mac book pro) in march 2014 & I'm thinking of buying the care plan which will be valid for 3 years. Could I know if there's a student discount for the care plan & if it's valid from the date of purchase of the laptop or the date of purchase of the care plan?
    I bought my laptop from a UK apple store for student price & my university is registered as an educational institution on the apple website.

    The care plan extends your coverage from date-of-purchase to the three-year mark, and provides free telephone support for that entire period.
    In general, there are no additional student discounts on the care plan.
    The care plan covers defects in materials and workmanship up to the three year mark. On a MacBook, it does not cover accidental damage or liquid spills. But owners of the care plan have been known to get the 'benefit of the doubt' in close judgement calls about warranty coverage.
    You must choose to purchase it within the first year of coverage, or it becomes unavailable. This is to preclude users waiting until a problem occurs and then buying care. Like any sort of insurance, it remains affordable because some purchases will be covered, but will not need to collect on it.

  • Why does the new MacBook Pro 13 no longer come with a graphics card?

    Why does the new MacBook Pro no longer come with a graphics card?  Or at least make it so you can opt for one.

    I know how you feel. Your MacBook Pro has integrated graphics 384 MB or 512 MB. If you are a gamer, creative professional or just want more VRAM get a 15 inch MacBook Pro with up to 1 gig of VRAM or a windows gaming laptop with up to 16 gigs of VRAM (a ridiculous amount!). If you get a windows pc, you can always install virtual box. There is no point in buying a 13 inch MacBook Pro unless you need a lightweight laptop with all of the extra "goodies". There is also no possible way to change the graphics unless you know how to "unhook" the card from the processor and install a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Does the Mac book pro take blue ray DVDs?

    Does the MacBook Pro 13" have blue ray capabilities?

    No.
    You can buy an external drive, it will work for data only.
    Movie playback requires you to buy software.

  • Does the mac book pro come with microsoft word?

    i was wondering if the macbook pro comes with microsoft word already built into it or if it has to be downloaded or bought

    Not out of the box, you have to pay for it to get it regardless. The only way it would come with Office
    pre-installaed is to have it custom ordered through Apple or another seller that offers pre-installation services.

  • The mac book pro cannot detect the internal speaker. What's the possible causes? and how to fix it?

    I've connect the mac book pro to my LED TV with the headphone port as my audio output. After I disconnect it, the internal speaker did not work and the mac could not detect it from the system preference. What is the problem? Is it because of the hardware or software problem? Please help.

    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

    Sounds to me like you may have gotten a machine with hardware issues, but it's hard to say.  It will shut down if it gets too hot, but that's not a normal occurrence.  I have never seen a MacBook Pro shut down due to heat, even after lengthy 3D gaming sessions where the fans are running fast and the bottom of the machine is unpleasant to touch.
    First thing I would try to do is reset the SMC.  If that doesn't help, erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch, which you should always do with a used machine anyway.
    If a fresh system doesn't help, you'll need to get it checked out by Apple.
    Edit: Oh, and sig is absolutely right...  please don't post in all caps!  It's very irritating.

  • Yosemite downloaded and installed than Black screen.  all we have is a black screen. Traveling in Indonesia so no Apple store nearby. The screen does not respond to reboot in safe mode. Can anyone help to get the Mac Book Pro up and running again?

    We are in indonesia travelling and after downloading and installing Yosemite, on our next restart the screen went black and responds to nothing. Tried to reboot (shift key) in safe mode after first crashing the system but nothing responds except for the opening chime. Toal disaster so any help will be greatly appreciated. Judging by the comments I have read, Yosemite seems to have many issues for us to look forward to, if and when we can bring back the Mac Book Pro to life.

    See if you can boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down).  There you can reinstall the system.

  • Black screen on Mac Book Pro 17(late 2011)

    Mac Book Pro 17 (late 2011), Model A1297, MD311LL/A, 2.4 quad.core i7/2x2 GB/750-5400, Running OSX Maverick 10.9.4.  One day OK, next day a black screen.  Tried soft reboot, nothing.  Computer acts like it is on (keyboard lights up), and white light on front pulses as if in hibernation mode, battery is at 95%. all AC plugs ok.  Nothing external to this computer. Can you help?  Linda, [email protected]

    First, I would try:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that does not help then try booting the computer from the Recovery HD. If it still does not work then there is a hardware failure. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
