How to reset my macbook pro late 2011

I have a late 2011 macbook pro that i installed mountain lion when i got it, it orginally had snow leopard. I have the iLife CD and the Mac OS X install DVD but when i put the cd in it says "You cant use this version of the application "install Mac OS X" with this verion of OS X. you have "Install Mac OS X" 23.1.1. If anyone knows what i have to do to reset my macbook pro to factory settings please tell me. I would like a answer ASAP.

In that case, you don't have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro, as they came with Lion, not with Snow Leopard. This message appears because you are trying to reinstall Snow Leopard while you are running Lion or a newer Mac OS X version.
To restore the MacBook Pro to factory settings:
1. Make a backup of your files.
2. Insert the Mac OS X disc and hold the C key while your Mac is starting to start up from the disc.
3. Go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility, and erase the drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html If you are going to sell the Mac, consider using a secure erase option.
4. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
5. Insert the Applications disc and install iLife apps.
6. Open  > Software Update, and install the most recent version.
If you are going to sell the Mac, ignore the steps 5 and 6, and turn off the Mac when the installation is completed.

  • 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 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.
    MacBook Pro:
      Vendor Name:    Apple, Inc.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 15" Macbook Pro late 2011 is running hot.

    My 15.4" Macbook Pro late 2011 (box instalation) is running hot at 200F and the fan jumps to 6000rpm without any real reason.
    I know it is not normal, what can I do? Clean install or service?

    Thanks guys,
    Hardware testing passed.
    Did a SMC reset and it seems at least for now that the RPM jump happens more smoothly and not to 6000rpm.
    I will try this weekend to stress it a little and see how it behaves. (I will also upgrade the memory to 8GB)
    In the end I think I will do a clean install and see I there will be any more improvements.
    I'll keep you posted.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

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

  • Macbook pro late 2011 is on Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and it is using lot of RAM

    Macbook pro late 2011 is on Mac OS X v10.7 Lion and it is using lot of RAM...when I turn on after 2minutes it freezes and do not repond and system prefrences also not working...plz help me....I don,t have mac os disc
    I have tried safe mode boot, NVRAM and PRAM reset but no luck...

    First, try a Safe Mode boot.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from your Apple () menu.
    If that didn't help, reintall OS X..
    Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built-in utilities in OS X Recovery

    Macbook pro late 2011. Have power on the battery but doesn't turn on at all. Not even a sound, my mac has stayed turned off in nearly a month and now its not working???
    Any ideas to what the problem could be?
    Regards// Michael

    If a SMC reset does not bring life to your MBP, make an appointment at an Apple store genus bar for a free diagnosis.
