Graphic problem in 13'' macbook pro late 2011

I have problem with my 13'' i7 macbook pro (late 2011) . for instance when i swipe up/down with 4 fingers, my apps or docs minimize So logy and slowly as well as when i want full screen my browser or other application, it do it very bad with some vibration and i dont know what do i have to do?
is this problem for my graphic card or is for Lion ios?
as the matter of fact , i bough this mac 2 months ago.
Im wondering if someone can help me in this regard!

Since it is less than a year old call AppleCare: 800-SOS-APPL (in the US).
Have your Mac's serial number ready: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349
After you wait on hold for a very long time they ask you some frustratingly basic questions like is it charged and did you spill water on it etc., they will talk you through some basic troubleshooting such as an SMC reset. In the end they will offer to schedule an appointment at a Genius Bar where they will fix whatever is wrong. It won't cost you anything (unless you spilled water on it etc).
You can do all this yourself:
SMC reset:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

You can test the hardware yourself also, if it reports something wrong tell them what it is.

  • Second graphics card (Nvidia) for Macbook Pro (late 2011)?

    Hi,
    I have a late 2011 17-inch Macbook Pro, and want to know whether it's possible to fit a second graphics card in there - and if so, where I could find a list of compatible cards.
    What I am really aiming for is an Nvidia card with CUDA, since there are various applications I want to use that require CUDA.
    If it's not possible to fit a second CUDA card in there, is it possible to replace the current card (AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB) with an Nvidia one?
    Thanks,
    S

    Thanks for such a quick response, albeit not the one I was hoping to hear!

  • Does anyone have a problem with upgrading Macbook Pro late 2011 hard drive to a SSD?

    Hi Guys i am planning of upgrading my hard drive on my Macbook Pro 15" late 2011 for a SSD, does any one have any problems while doing this, i was told in some cases the mac loses the avility to go to sleep and etc, i would appreciate any come that you may have in this subject.
    Also can any one recomend a good cheap SSD for my mac, i am looking at the crucial version, it appears to be ok.
    thanks guys

    I believe they are up to 2TB in the 2.5" laptop drives.
    Do a quick google on the brand & model first to see what the reviews are and failure rates.
    I use Hitachi in mine.
    SSD's are also an option for you. These are much faster than the traditional mechanical drives, but also much more expensive & are much smaller in capacity.
    Here is a link that gives you some idea of options.

  • MacBook Pro late 2011 screen goes blank and needs shutdown and superdrive spins 3 times before ejecting discs

    Hi everyone,
    I have a big problem with my MacBook Pro late 2011, suddenly while working without connecting the charger and it is 100% charged the screen would go black and I would need to hold the power button to shut it down and then power it up again, The second issue is the superdrive whenever I use a disc it spins it for 3 times before ejecting it to me, tried resetting PRAM and tried re-installing mac os x mavericks, but no solution so far and about the superdrive I bought a cleaner disc and tried to insert it, the superdrive would spin it 3 times and ejects it after that. Saw the disk permission solution and tried it once and I think there is a problem with that because this is the second time I try it and it was saying that there were problems.
    Sorry for being long.
    Thanks in advance.

    Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
    If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
    Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
    Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
    Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in.

  • Macbook pro late 2011 starting problem

    I'm running OS Maverics 10.9.3 version on Macbook pro late 2011. Few days ago the OS got much slower than normal system. Then i installed the the new OS but it was good for few hours. Then after few hours it became slower again. Then I changed the HDD and installed the new OS. But I found the same problem again. Then I removed all backup files from the HDD. After removing all items it became to work normally. But after 15/17 days later when i'm trying to turn on the macbook a flashing folder icon appears then i pull down the display for a while. When the lights gone then i turn on again and it works normally. I tried the internet recovery option by pressing the (ctrl+R) button but it takes much time. But nothing happened. What is the problem?

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Graphics Card issue; shall I keep it?

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) second hand from someone on eBay, it's going to be delivered in a couple days.
    Now, after the purchase, I did some research into the production year - I know, I should've done it before really - and found a huge amount of people with the very-known issue of the Graphics card. The issue causes massive visual problems and has, on many occasions, resulted in a replaced Logic Board.
    I'd like to know whether you think that this machine is a safe one to keep, or if I should send it back and try and get one from a different year?
    The seller said, once I asked him about it, that the previous owner (obviously someone has had it before him) apparently had a few issues, but he himself hasn't, and is using Mavericks.
    What do you think?

    Not ALL of the 15" and 17" models have had a problem with the soldering of the GPU - maybe 20,000 at the most (based on the information that I've been gathering and some of those may be reports on the same machine). It's possible that yours may be  good one.
    However... I wouldn't take the chance, were it me. I've only had my logic board replaced once and it's been almost 11 months now and my machine is still working. But I'm sure that the problem will surface again (after my AppleCare runs out in 2015!) so I've decided to become less Mac-dependent in the future.
    If I were you, I would just tell the seller that you're not comfortable buying a 2011 model with the discrete GPUs (the 13" models are just fine) and would shop Apple's refurbished section, looking for a non-Retina 2012 model.
    My opinion...

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2011) calibration problem

    Hi,
    I have tried to calibrate the monitor of my MacBook Pro (Late 2011, Mountain Lion OS) with the Spyder4Express, but the monitor has a yellow cast after the calibration. I've verified the yellow cast by comparing my monitor with other calibrated monitors and with some photos printed with calibrated printers. Moreover, I have calibrated the monitor of another MacBook Pro with the same Spyder4Express and the result is different from mine, i.e. the same photo is displayed with different tones on the two monitors of the two MacBooks.
    As calibration parameters of the Spyder4Express I have selected
    Gamut = Normal Gamut
    Backlight = White LED
    and set LCD Native flag in the Preferences Panel.
    Any suggestions to solve this issue? I suspect that the graphic accelerator (Intel HD 3000) of my MacBook Pro doesn't support the calibration. Someone else had the same problem?
    Regards,
    Luigi

  • MacBook Pro late 2011 not switching to ATI graphics when running off mains power.

    Hi there.
    My MacBook Pro late 2011 doesn't appear to be switching to ATI graphics when running off mains power. It always seems to stay on the Intel adapter instead. I've checked the option in the energy saver settings and it's ticked to "Automatically switch..." and when I untick this box, it switches to ATI and stays that way even when running on battery (as expected). Either way it will not switch to ATI graphics when plugged into mains unless forced to in this way.
    Any one else seen this? Very frustrating when trying to run an external monitor with the Intel adapter!
    Thanks in advance.
    Dan

    "As a last resort I opened the bottom cover and disconnected the battery power plug (MagSafe adapter also disconnected)."
    After everything was disconnected did you press the power button and walk away for 5 minutes? Try that, just had one restart after waiting for that long.

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 suddenly slow after months using Yosemite. Never noticed kernel_task until this happened.

    My MacBook Pro late 2011 has recently slowed to snails pace after successfully running Yosemite from a clean install for many months.
    I always have Activity monitor running to keep an eye on memory and CPU.  When the issue started, I noticed Kernel_task for the first time and its 0.5 to 1GB.
    I have verified/repaired the disk and repaired permissions in Safe Mode.  Also done SMC and PRAM resets.
    CPU usage is usually 2% or less unless number crunching in Excel or watching videos.
    I created a new user account, which is much faster in opening Safari and searching.  There is no Kernel_task showing for the new user.
    Cardo-updater is for a motorcycle bluetooth headset.
    Xquartz is for GIMP.
    Rogueamoeba is for Audio Hijack Pro.
    These three have been in use since day 1 of Yosemite and before in Mavericks.
    Etrecheck results
    Oddities - I don't know what the disk info not mounted means.  Not mounting the Recovery disk looks scary to me as uninformed.
    Time machine disk too small - thought I was using a 1 TB drive !!
    Problem description:
    MBP late 2011 has become very slow after a few months after a Yosemite clean install.  Kernel_task memory circa 1 GB.  CPU activity is a few percent.  Created a new user. Activity monitor does not show Kernel_task at all.  Much faster as the new user. Permissions repaired in Safe mode.  SMC and PRAM reset done.  Short hardware test (option D on boot) - no problems.  I have VirtualBox to run XP at times for some Win apps.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2011 Grey screen

    Hi pals,
    I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011 since 2012. I've upgraded it to Yosemite, thing that I've to do from scratch because it worked very slow, but that's not the deal here.
    The other day I started it, and it simply didn't do it. I've tried everything, like Unique user mode, safe mode, starting from dvd, reseting PMU-PRAM-NVRAM, changing hard disk, changing RAM,... everything I've found in the internet.
    Only one thing worked once, and I say once, because it only worked once... I switch the HD and I used an USB to install Yosemite from scratch. It worked but when I reseted it, it never came alive again... That time, I used Disk Utility on Yosemite to format the original hard disk (700GB 7200rpm), and I recovered my personal data.
    Now, when I try to start it from USB to install or from HD it never works. It shows the progress bar till 1/3 and then the screen becomes grey, the CPU heats and the fans start to spin like crazy. Sometimes it turns off, sometimes it doesn't and I have to do it.
    Any help will be welcome, thank you .

    The colored lines  seem like it's a hardware graphics problem, likely brought on by the EFI firmware update that's been going around lately that exposed problems your hardware had you didn't know about.
    Your  going to have to bring this problem to Apple, I hope you have AppleCare because it's looking like a replacement logicboard and they are not cheap.
    You can try exhausting the remedies in my User Tip, but those mostly deal with issues from the gray screen onwards, the colored lines represent a firmware issue and Apple doesn't release the newest versions online for self reinstall until they have proven themselves.
    If your worried about sensitive data, you can order a tool kit from OtherWorld Computing, open the machine and remove the hard drive and use a SATA to USB connector to another Mac to remove data and scrub free space in Disk Utility.

  • Both Internal hard drives fail on Macbook Pro late-2011

    Both internal hard drives (SSD and HDD) failed on Macbook Pro late-2011.
    Setup: MBP closed with Thunderbolt display attached.
    Problem on HDD-A
    I called Apple Support to log an issue with my MBP2011. The system is made up of 2 drives - SSD (128GB) and HDD with 2 partitions HDD-A and HDD-B(original 750GB).
    HDD-A has LionOSX 10.7 and HDD-B is storage. SSD has LionOSX on it as well. I normally boot HDD-A.
    I was working on HDD-A and the Kernel Panic screen appeared prompting me to shutdown the machine and start it up again.
    I tried to reboot HDD-A and the grey progress bar appeared for a long time. I then forced shutdown and rebooted into SSD.
    I was able to boot from SSD and then I opened Disk Utility to check the drives. I verified the disk for HDD-A and there was an error. I then tried to repair disk and it couldn't repair it. A dialogue said the disk could not be repaired and that data should be backed up.
    HDD-A was not visible in Finder but HDD-B was accessible.
    I verified HDD-B and it was "ok".
    I shutdown, booted from SSD, disk utility HDD-A and the same message occurred.
    I called Apple Support and they advised that I boot from my external HDD which was a clone of HDD-A.
    Solution
    I was successfully able to boot from the Clone HDD-A.
    HDD-A was able to be accessed and I could retrieve the files from HDD-A.
    I copied over the latest files from HDD-A to an external drive.
    Same Problem on SSD
    Boot from SSD, i started working for about 3 hours, with the lid closed, and attached to the ACD.
    Kernel Panic screen happened again on the SSD.
    Couldn't boot boot from either SSD or HDD-A.
    I booted from Cloned HDD-A, Disk Utility verify and repair returned errors on SSD. The same issue had occurred on the second drive.
    Disk Recovery from a boot recovery USB thumb, Disk Utility, erased SSD, verify was ok.
    Tried to install then there was an install error saying that SSD was damaged (large triangle warning icon). Tried 3 times, failed.
    Boot from Recovery Drive HDD-A, downloaded LionOSX.
    Next steps
    Format HDD-A and HDD-B into 2 partitions
    Install LionOSX on HDD A.
    Note:
    I did not do any software updates for about a week before 14.04.2012 and suspect it might be due to the virus.
    I normally work with the lid closed and attached to the ACD, I also suspect that overheating caused both drives to fail. However, I have been using this system with the lid closed for atleast a week. One Kernel Panic screen occured.

    Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
    If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
    Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
    Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
    Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in.

  • My japanese macbook pro (late 2011) physical keyboard does not match with the on screen japanese keyboard in windows 8.1 so does caps lock

    I am using windows 8.1 pro on my Japanese macbook pro (Late 2011) and enabled japanese language but the problem is that when i press caps lock (lower left corner) it changes the input method from english to japanese. I checked my on screen keyboard (OSK) in windows and its different from my physical keyboard i.e. keys are different on my physical keyboard compared to OSK. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks
    Tenadona

    Can I suggest the following articles, which are worth reviewing?
    Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows - Apple Support
    Boot Camp: Apple Wireless Keyboard keyboard mapping in Windows - Apple Support
    Boot Camp: Windows commands on an Apple keyboard
    Windows does require language packs to be installed, if you want the physical keyboard to match the on-screen keyboard.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 extremely slow after fresh intallation on MacBook Pro Late 2011, i7   8 GB RAM, Photoshop CS 5.1 performance OK

    Hi there,
    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 with 8 GB RAM after already having installed CS 5.1 on my MacBook.
    So I have both installed at the same time.
    But: CS 5.1 is much faster! The first time opening CC 2014 was really shocking, because it was so laggy and still is, and I don't know why this is.
    I didn't do any weird performance settings, neither did I change anything else. I open a document in CC 2014 and it takes nearly double the time
    compared to opening the same document in CS 5.1.
    And with CS 5.1 running the app Memory Clean tells me that i have 1.5 GB of free memory, with CC 2014 running my memory is completely in use.
    Are there any tipps/tricks/issues with having both installed at the same time? Am I missing something that is leading to that specific performance
    issue?
    I would be glad if someone could help me, because otherwise I have to say that upgrading to CC 2014 and buying the CC license for one year
    didn't turn out to be a good thing.
    Thanks!

    Nothing here?
    The MacBook now has 16 GB RAM, but not much change. Photoshop CS 5.1 performance is great after splitting the PSD into 3 different ones, Photoshop CC 2014 still much slower.
    Does anyone experience the same problems, especially with many groups / layers / smart objects?
    And is it possible to get back the money for purchasing the yearly CC license when I'm not satisfied with the product?
    Thank you.
