How do I enable airdrop on my macbook pro late 2011

I noticed the airdrop folder in my finder folder but never used it. Now that I want to use it, it is no longer there. Is there anyway to get it back and enable it's use?

Hit command-, in Finder (or choose preferences) and ensure the AirDrop icon is checked to show in the sidebar.

How to reinstall OS X Lion on macbook pro late 2011 ?

Hello all !
I'm new here and pretty new to Macbook Pro had for just over a month now.
I baught it expecting it to be fast and good though I seem to be getting hard time doing simple stuff and having connection problems plus it slows down on me.
My family members have been downloading all kind of stuff and my MBP is pretty slow since then and wierd stuff is occuring.
I would like to reinstall Lion OS X to make as new agian since I think this solution only might help me here.
Though when I baught this MBP I didn't recieve any CD's with it as in basic OS X installations.
My question how am I supposed to reinstall my OS X and my MBP ? Please help me I am so fustrated because of this.
Relevant information about my MBP:
Macbook Pro 8,1 - 13" Late 2011
Version 10.7.4
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Main issues:
Wi-Fi keep dropping and Safari is acting way to slow.
Invisible files appearing and are Visible on desktop such as (.DS_Store & .localized)
Many other gliches that prevent me copying simple stuff and closing Safari or tabs in Safari.
Thanks to all in advance.

What do you suggest then ?
I suggest troubleshooting the problem instead of just guessing what has to be done. Since you're within 90 days of purchase, you're eligible for phone support from AppleCare.
Stop the secure erase. Quit Disk Utility and either restore from a Time Machine backup or run the Installer. You don't mention whether you have a backup. I hope you do, because otherwise your data is lost beyond any hope of recovery.

How to install Lion OS on a Macbook pro late 2011 (it is originally installed)

Hi everyone !
I have to change my hard drive to a SSD in my new Macbook pro. I bought it 3 weeks ago.
So, I haven't any DVDs of Lion. Many people said I can download Lion in the Mac appstore and burn it on DVDs, but i can't. (I tried many technics but nothing works).
Can you help me, I can't used my Recovery HD partition if I change the HD.
(Be cool with my English, I'm French )

(I tried many technics but nothing works).
Care to share?
You would do better posting in the Lion forum area - Mac OS X v10.7 Lion

How can I transfer data (iTunes/iPhoto) MacBook Pro (Late 2011) to my brand new iMac 27" - Apple Support couldn't help me and did not make the promised call-back

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and bought a brand new iMac 27" last week.
I tried to transfer data (musdic & photos) via Thunderbolt, but i did not run, my system always
tries to transfer data via WLAN, but that would last more than 80 hours.
I tried to get some help from the Apple Support, but unfortunately they couldn't help me.
A promised call-back from the next higher support-level has not been done.
Does anybody know what the problem might be.
The Thunderbolt-cable is brand new.

Instead of using Migration Assistant, the best way is to use the Target Disk Mode, so you will save headaches (Migration Assistant creates a new user with the transferred data).
To do this, just connect both Macs with the Thunderbolt cable, and then, start the MacBook Pro holding the T key, so a Thunderbolt or FireWire icon should appear on the display. After that, go to the iMac, open Finder, and the hard drive of the MacBook Pro will appear on the Finder sidebar as an external drive, under "Devices". Just access to it, go to the folders with your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and copy them to the iMac

Macbook Pro Late 2011 Intel VT

Hi everybody,
I'm in front of a problem.
I have a macbook pro late 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) , cpu is Intel Core I7 2,2 Ghz.
I've installed the latest parallel desktop 7 and the lastest vmware fusion on OSX Mountain Lion (10.8).
Into a virtual machine, i've installed microsoft windows 2008 R2 in both parallel and vmware, and i would like to add the hyper-v role, but i receive this error message :
The processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-V. To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of hardware-assisted virtualization, and this feature must be turned on in the BIOS.
I'm pretty sure that my CPU is Intel VT compatible.
I've restored the laptop via a timemachine with OSX 10.7.4, but it's still the same problems.
My system is fully updated, but i remember that i played some times ago with reefit, but i dn't know if it matters.
Anyone here successfully enabled VT on the macbook pro late 2011 and could help me ?
Thanks in advance.
NB: I've also tried to install Citrix XenServer, and i've also received a warning that my system isn't VT compatible, but i'm sure it's.

Thank you very much for your fast answer
BTW, according to parallel and vmware, VT is implemented and compatible, but on my laptop, it seems not.
I tried only with parallel desktop 7 installed, but same problem, i'm unable to add hyper-v role to my virtual machine.

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.

How do i use my imac 21.5" 2011 as a display for my macbook pro late 2011, through thunderbolt cable ? I have tried and it doesnt seem to work, neither does target disk mode.
Could it be a borked cable ? I just bought it new from the store today, i have updated both imac and macbook pro to latest thunderbolt firmware and updates. Both 10.7.3.

You are correct, here is what Apple Says:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3775
I was able to find these instructions, however they referr to 2009-2011 27" iMacs. I think it's the same, if it's not then contact Apple directly for instructions. If either of the machines is less than 90 days old or covered by AppleCare then call AppleCare tomorrow for help, they should be able to easily answer this for you. You will find the number in your manual or you can use the AppleCare Contact Info link.
Your iMac should automatically recognize the presence of a digital video signal at the Mini DisplayPort and enter Target Display Mode.
If your iMac does not automatically enter Target Display Mode, press command + F2 to manually enter Target Display Mode.

How do I install the recover portion of OS X 10.10.1 on my MacBook Pro late 2011? It is missing!

When I boot up my MacBook Pro late 2011 while pressing the option key it should show the recovery icon which it doesn't.
How do I install this portion of Yosemite?

This was changed with Yosemite. The recovery is hidden when booting with option. Hold command and R when booting to get into recovery (without option). If you see the globe, then it is actually going to Internet recovery, which means you do not have a local recovery.

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.

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.

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.

Help! MacBook Pro Late 2011 Not Charging

My MacBook Pro Late 2011 is Not Charging. I have tried plugging it into multiple outlets and none have succeeded. He is a screenshot of my System Information>Power: http://grab.by/tkOM. I have no clue what happened. Last night we had a massive storm, but I don't believe there was any thunder or lightning. Whenever I plug the adapter into an outlet, the battery usage in the top right hand corner shows the "plugged in" icon, then it shows the "charging" icon. Then it just goes blank and back to normal. I have tried to restart it and do the SMC or whatever, but nothing seems to work. I have had this charger for a little bit over 1 year. Thanks in advance!

Hey Angelo_here,
I'd run through these steps:
If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Note: See Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters for further troubleshooting with MagSafe adapters.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.

Reset the SMC.
If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).

MacBook Pro Late 2011 having GPU Panic "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED"

I'm having GPU Panic and reboot on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 Edition with Serial Number C0*******YR1.
It seems a known Hardware issue and it got surfaced at least for me in my MAC now and hence Apple should provide support in getting the Logic / Motherboard in warranty free of cost. Any idea how to proceed in pushing to get appropriate help from Apple Support.
<Edited By Host>

Bring your MBP to the nearest Apple store and present you case to the management.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Late 2011

MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011) MacBookPro8,3 unable to run on 16gb install corsair, how that be possible macbook pro late 2011 inter core i7 unable to use 16 gb ram memory how fix that. i see same model working with 16gb ram memory.

Regarding the 1 stick -vs- two. Spoke with a Crucial (RAM memory manufacturer for Macs) tech said they test memory sticks by installing them one at a time, starting, and run the mac. If it runs okay with the one stick, that stick is fine. If you put one stick in and it doesn't work, than that stick is bad and should be returned to the manufacturer for replacement - many of them have lifetime warranties.
The three beeps indicates a problem with the RAM.
I'm currently running on one stick (8mb), so far with the light stuff, it's working okay.
I've gone through 4 logic boards trying to run with the 16mb (8x8) Crucial memory (same computer & running latest OS), and I'm about to give up because it seems both of these sticks are 'okay', but after they run for a while they blow up my logic board. Very frustrating.

How do I enable airdrop on my macbook pro late 2011
