How install snow in a macbook pro early 2011 with mountain lion? snow leopard original dvd its no support...

Any solution for this?

You have to boot the system from the original Snow Leopard DVD. With the DVD inserted in the drive restart the system and nhold down either the Option key, and then select the SNow Leopard DVD from the boot selection screen that comes up, or the C key to boot directly from the DVD drive.
Once the computer starts from the SL DVD Click the Utilities menu item and select Disk Utility. Once that starts select the top most entry in the keft side, the drive name and size, then the partition tab. Select one partition from the Partition Layout area drop down, Middle area, give it the name Macintosdh HD and format Mac extended (Journaled) and then click the Apply button.
Once all that is done exit DU and continue with the install.

  • No audio coming out of MacBook Pro Early 2011 with Mountain Lion

    I just updated my Early 2011 MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and I am having no problems except for the fact that I have no audio coming out of my computer.. when I turn it up it says that it's all the way up but theres a circle with a line through it like it's muted or something like that. When I click the mute button on my keyboard the line goes through the little speaker picture like it usually does and the cicle with the line is still there but then when I unmute it and turn it up it's still all the way up with the circle and line. Any ideas?
    Here's a screenshot of it:

    Same issue with the same model.  I restarted and the problem went away.  Hopefully it will stay away.

  • Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

    I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep-  I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW  to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever--  this is driving me crazy-  I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
    I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a  time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a  **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

    For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
    Just to be sure  it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end  result is
    SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
    the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
    as it does my macbook pro -- they  BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
    THIS IS SO ANNOYING  ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

  • How to fix magsafe port Macbook Pro early 2011

    For a while I struggled to charge my Macbook Pro, so I decided to buy a new charger. It worked fine for a couple weeks but now it has started to do the same thing. I have to spend like maybe 3-4 min wiggling the charger until it finally starts, and then I  have to keep it perfectly still for it to charge. Recently my macbook stopped charging completely. The magsafe port looks very burned (its kind of black). Also the area around the magsafe port is always HOT, even before the charging issues. How can fix this issue? Is this common for Macbook Pro early 2011 13" ? I don't have apple coverage at this time.

    Sean, see if these troubleshooting tips help:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters if not, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.

  • Trying to install Boot Camp on MacBook Pro (late 2011) os x Lion

    Hey everyone,
    I've been trying to install Boot Camp for my MacBook but when I get up to installing the Windows support software it just stops at around 20% and won't go any further. I've tried restarting the whole thing a few times but it still won't move at all. It's very frustrating as I need some software for one of my University papers.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • How do I downgrade my MacBook Pro Retina Display from Mountain Lion to Lion?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina Display that came with OS X 10.8.1.
    I´m an audio engineer so I work with Pro Tools, tons of plug-ins etc... Some of my software doesn't work with Mountain Lion just yet. Some of them haven't upgraded, and some of them I need to purchase a latest version, which is not cheap at all in the audio world. So I'd like to hang on to Lion for a while until I decide to upgrade everything to Mountain Lion.
    I've seen other posts about this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4148927?start=0&tstart=0
    This one in particular managed to make the downgrade. However, he used to have OS X 10.7.4 in his retina display when he bought it. Which is something that doesn't happen in my case.
    If you read the other post you can see that several methods have been tried.
    Is it really safe to completely erase my hard drive and to a clean install of Lion? Will it work perfectly fine on my Retina Display?
    I went to one Apple Store, and the guy asked around and told me they haven't done it before, so since they didn't know whether it was going to work they couldn't do it. He told me to do it myself and if something happened to my laptop, "just bring it in and we'll reinstall the stock OS X again."
    Since the laptop is brand new I don't mind erasing everything, all my stuff is already backed up.
    So help me please?

    The short of it is if it came with 10.8.1 you can't install an OS less than that.

  • Macbook pro early 2011 with amd 6750m

    Hi,
    its a fact that many users have problem with the amd 6750m after some time of use ans Apple replaces the logic board. I tried do discover where is the problem contacting AMD: is it the GPU itself or a soldering?
    Id like to know whats the problem, since my macbook has no more apple care and im facing the problem.
    best regards

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Pro has got its GPU soldered, so the whole logic board has to be replaced if the GPU is damaged.
    I have read cases of other Early 2011 MacBooks Pro users with the same problem. It looks like a general issue

  • I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, with 10.7.5 that recently started freezing.

    I have run disk verification and repair.  I have tried resetting the SMS with that- hold down cmd, opt, shift and power at start up trick.  I have deleted tons of files that were a waste of space.  The problem started after trying to run time machine to reaccess my internet history. I deleted the history and then realized that I wanted it again and I used time machine to recover it. That was around the time it started freezing up.  Also, another culprit could be my email... I accedentally set my email account to active on my school profile and recieved tons of emails at once. I tried deleting them, but many of them gave me an error message and wouldn't let me delete.  Then my computer started freezing up... I don't know what was the culprit, but maybe these clues help?
    Also, I am wondering if I upgrade to the free Maverick OS if this has a chance at fixing the problem.  ?
    Please help! It's been several days now and I am trying to get my school work done.  If all else fails I will take it to the Apple Store.

  • Why is my macbook pro running slow with mountain lion?

    After installing Mountain Lion, I find navigating, opening programs, etc. is taking more time, why is this?

    Immediately after installing Mountain Lion, your system will be rebuilding the Spotlight index. This should only take a couple of hours at most. If the problem persists you can run diagnostics. I just happen to have written a little diagnostic program recently. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

    Dear all,
        A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
    Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8),  I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
    With EFI it just boots Mac
    With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
    I do not know what is wrong :/
    P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

    I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

  • Help after installing additional SSD to macbook pro early 2011

    I just installed a new ssd in addition the my original harddrive by removing the superdrive. I got everything working good and can see both drives in Finder (OSX MT LION was installed in the SSD then i used migration assistant to get user info into SSD but i did not transfer music, downloads, or pictures). The problem is that i cannot access my old folders off the harddrive because it says i do not have permission to open. I tried right clicking on many different folders, including the subfolders, and choosing "Get Info" in order to change permissions to allow everyone to read and write but I am still not able to go in and when I did get into a folder there was nothing in there. I thought i might have had deleted my files accidentally but when I see the disk space available, the harddrive only has 100 Gigs free (out of 500gb) and iPhoto found all my pictures, told me there was a problem with the permissions and fixed them, now i can see all my pictures in iPhoto. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    If your hard drive in the opti-bay is still 'intact' and bootable, I would just boot to it, use Disk Utility to (once again) erase and format the SSD and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the HD to the SSD. You'd have no permissions problems after that.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How much RAM can my Macbook Pro (early 2011) actually hold?

    I currently only have 2x2 RAM in my Mac, but I've been reading I can put up to 16GB... Is this true?
    I want to upgrade to 16, but I'm unsure if my system will actually accept it or not, which is why I'm here...
    I've been reading on Apples site that it can only hold 2x4, and on other sites it can hold up to 2x8, which one is correct...?
    Thanks guys.
    (Bought in February 2011. 2.3GHz i5, 320GB SATA Disk.)

    16GB will be recognized.
