HT1119 MacBook Pro late 2011 won't turn on

I was working late and let my battery drain while working. The computer shut down. I immediately plugged it in but the light on the power adapter didn't turn on (either orange or green) I tried other plugging it into other outlets. Nothing. I left it plugged in all night. Nothing. No light on the adapter and the computer isn't working. Help!

if you live near an Apple store or AASP have them test it with a known good charger to see if all you need is a new charger.

Macbook Pro (Late 2011) Won't read game

My Macbook Pro (Late 2011) plays dvds (I used Family guy to test) but will not read the disk for Football Manager 2015 despite it being Mac compatible. THe disk itself runs on PC so isn't faulty. Any thoughts?
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)

Thanks, OrangeMarlin. Lots to learn about in land of the Macs.
Point taken on the driver. The reason I'm hesitant to assume it's power related is because everything else works. Here is a short list of other devices I've used it for in the week or so I've owned this machine:
iPad (connected fine and charged iPad to full)
Seagate GoFlex (connects fine, but this device also uses wall power)
Samsung Spinpoint HDD (in an aluminum Rosewill enclosure, also uses wall power)
iPod Classic (fifth gen, 30GB), also charges
Samsung Captivate (Android phone), charges
I got this machine from the Apple store last week, when I swapped out my original purchase MBP due to a screen defect. I asked them to run a gamet of tests to ensure everything OK, and they complied (at least claimed to). I assume if I brought it back, with the drive, they would be able to test for a power issue, correct?
Thanks again.

Macbook Pro late 2008 won't turn on

I had a well working Macbook Pro unibody late 2008 (15 inches) but wanted to upgrade it a bit so after changing the HD to 1TB (which worked with no issues) I ordered some RAM to get it to 8GB (from 4). I opened it, changed the RAM, cleaned up the Fans that were really full of dust, put everything back and surprise: The Power button does NOT respond. Battery is fully charged, MagSafe is green, everything seemd normal but it just won't turn on.
I tried to put the old RAM back in it => Same result.
I tried to reset the SMC following this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 (removed the battery and power, pressed the button for 5 seconds, plug it back) but it didn't work either..
I checked every cable I could see under the hood but I really didn't touch much of the machine besides the fansm that I didn't even unplug..
What could cause this?? How do you troubleshoot a machine that won't even power.
Help please!
thanks

apassemard,
how did you clean the fans? The MacBook Pro’s internals are extremely sensitive to static electricity; if you did not take care to discharge any static electricity on your person before working with its internals, you might well have fried them through static electricity discharging into your MacBook Pro’s logic board.

Macbook pro early 2011 won't turn on

My MacBook Pro was working fine until an evening, when it suddenly turned off. It was connected to power and had about 70% charge. The Magsafe indicator turned off along with the mac, but it turned green soon. It still stays green and won't change to amber. Without the magsafe connected, the battery indicators won't respond. If the magsafe is connected, 6 battery indicators lit up as usual. I tried resetting the SMC, but no success. I tried looking for burned areas in the logic board, but everything seems fine.
(Small red ants were frequent visitors of my lap, when it was left unattended for an hour. They usually came out from beneath the keys when I am back Just saying... )

One more thing, I had my 1TB external HDD connected to the mac via USB, when all these happend. (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=470)

It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

MacBook Pro Late 2011 10.7.5 won't detect external monitor

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011 13" Running OSX Lion 10.7.5. It won't flash blue at ALL when connected to an external display. Under system report, it shows that the "Link Status" is 7. The same setup works with another MacBook Pro Mid 2009 15 inch. I am under AppleCare, should I take it in? Weird. All firmware updates are completed, no "Air Display" type programs are installed currently, and gfxcardstatus is also installed and doesn't really help.

Looks like a problem with the GPU (possibly the screen, but it looks more as if it's the GPU). If I were you, I'd take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have it diagnosed.

Any ideas to what the problem could be?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

Does airplay mirroring work on MacBook Pro late 2011 ( Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)?

Hi guys,
I would like to use airplay mirroring on apple tv (3rd generation) with my macbook pro late 2011, unfortunately the airplay option does not appear in the display preferences (see screenshot below). Did someone have this problem before? Please advise!
Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, but you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion to get AirPlay Mirroring.
Make a Time Machine backup and/or a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When the download finishes, the installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade. To turn on AirPlay Mirroring, select the AirPlay icon in the menu bar or open System Preferences > Displays

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and I'm wondering if I install Windows 7 Ultimate to this MacBook Pro with this Full Retail Version. And if so, which bit to use either 32-bit or 64-bit since I have both disks.

64 bit.
32 bit won't use all your computer's ram.
64 bit allows you to run 32 bit programs
Your computer is 64 bit
New programs use 64 bit.
There is no reason to use the 32 bit version of Windows.
