HT201343 My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found

My MBP is Early 2011 but dunno why cant use mirroring with apple TV, the icon cannot be found. So cannot use mirroring.
I have follow trouble shooting , they recommend to go system preference -> display , thus can find out the mirroring icon if no mean it doesnt support. But according to the web, Early 2011 MBP should be able to use, dunno why.

Just realise I havent updated my OS to mountain lion and this is the reason why I cannot use mirroring before ^^
Thanks all

  • Silverlight (Lovefilm / Netflix) MBP 13" Early 2011, Heating and Exhaust Problems, Clamshell mode with TB Display

    Hi all
    I was hoping if someone can help me out...
    I have a:
    Mac Book Pro 13" (Early 2011) (i5, Crucial 8GB RAM, 120 OWC 6G SSD)
    Apple Thunderbolt Display
    I run my MBP in clamshell mode always.
    Whenever i run Netflix or Lovefilm video in full screen using either Firefox, Chrome or Safari. The Silverlight plug-in is hogging the CPU.
    My exhaust (CPU fan) goes crazy, its soo loud its annoying while your trying to watch a movie on your Thunderbolt Display.
    Temperature reaches: 83 Celsius
    Fan (Exhaust): 5620 - 6200 RPM (immediately jumps from 2001 to 5620 / 6200)
    If i watch a movie full screen on my 13" MBP with my Thunderbolt display disconnected:
    Temperature reaches:  81 Celsius
    Fan (Exhaust): 3198 RPM (it slowly crawls up form 1998 to 3193)
    Now i changed my resolution on my Thunderbolt disply to 1420x720 and it helps with the fans going crazy, they slow down slightly...
    I've tried a PRAM and SMC Reset, all my firmware is up to date.
    My Macbook Pro is slightly raised at the back so air can flow through the vents.
    My FANS are just going crazy!! something is ridicously heating up internally in my machine causing them to go mental.
    You just cannot watch a movie on netflix or lovefilm on your thunderbolt display comfortably if your fans go beyound 2800RPM.
    I even installed Windows 7 on Virtual Box and tried running lovefilm / silverlight and it did not help my problem.
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP! how can i keep my fans below 2800 RPM while running silverlight?!?!

    Flash like Silverlight are CPU heavy applications.
    The MacBook Pro can be run in clamshell mode but only when not running extremely CPU intensive tasks
    like what you are doing.
    If you keep the mac book running this way for too long you might stress the materials and run into danger of getting thermal damages.
    Chrome is actually in recent time getting very slow and I noticed in a comparision test that Firefox provides me up to 30 to 40% more free CPU time.
    If running netflix I would suggest currently NOT using Chrome.
    Windows 7 virtualized inside virtual box and then on top netflix is uhm a pretty bad idea because all those three things together are already CPU hogs.

  • Can I replace my MBP 13" early 2011 dual core 2.3GHz intel i5 with the coming ivy bridge quad core?

    The ivy bridge processors are coming out soon (or may already be out). I have heard that macbook pro 13" models might be able to use the new processers due to their lower energy useage. I presume that I will be able to take my mac to an apple store and have it installed. Is this information true? Any ideas on a price?

    Is this information true?
    Absolutely not. The processor is soldered to the mainboard, and is not in a socket. It is not upgradeable.
    To upgrade, sell your old one and buy a new one -- just like a car when you want a bigger engine.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • MBP 15" early 2011 with WDC VelociRaptor?

    I notice that there is a thread for MBP 15" early 2011 with SSD https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2775423 But, I can't afford that type of SSD with only that capacity, i.e. 250GB. Here, in town, it would cost nearly USD500.
    So, I'm start to thinking to choose WDC VelociRaptor 2,5" 10000rpm 600GB SATA III 6GB/s WD6000BLHX http://www.amazon.com/600GB-Sata-6GB-2-5-HD/dp/B003G4I5OA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid =1303127766&sr=8-2 which only USD300 with more than 2 times capacity of SSD 510.
    I already used VelociRaptor 3,5" 10000rpm 300GB SATA II 3GB/s WD3000HLFS  on my PC and it is producing excessive heat, so that I should turning on the HDD fan which has 2500rpm.
    The question is: will it produce an excessive heat also? since MBP 15" body is aluminum unibody that is perfect conductor to transfer heat. I saw iFixIt website tear it down piece per piece. So, I think it still do able. But is it compatible also?
    thanks.

    Hi n,
    I would continue working with AppleCare, because if it turns out to be a hardware issue, you'll want to get it repaired while still under warranty.
    Have they suggested/have you done a reinstall of the OS yet?

  • OS X Lion Screen Sharing Slow on MBP 13" (Early 2011)

    Hello All,
    I've been cruising forums and various posts, but have not seen anything directly relating to the issue I'm having. I just upgraded all my Macs to Lion and when I screen share(SS) from my lion macs at work to my lion macs at home there has been a notable drop in performance.
    Here's where it get's stupid though. I can screen share to my Mini with very little to no lag at all from my MacBook Air at work. The Mini is directly hooked to my  time capsule (2008,1TB). However, when I SS into my MBP 13" early 2011(wireless connection) the MBP becomes almost completely unresponsive or delayed to any change by 5+min.
    I tried ss'ing into my mini and then from my mini to my MBP 13" and that was at least responsive, but obviously laggy. So what the frick man. Why can't I SS into my MBP from work? This was never an issue when all these macs were running 10.6.8.
    I guess I should also mention that the Mini hasn't been able to update ARD 3.5 yet, because of a separate issue that I haven't gotten around to. Is it perhaps the ARD update that is screwing up my MBP13"?
    Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem. I think it has to do with the 'server' computer. When I remotely control my other snow leopard computers, it is snappy. When I connect to my iMac running Lion, it is slow. The whole page blinks like it is rendering all text/images/backgrounds all the time. So it seems to be loading the entire frame. On the contrary, when remoted into a Snow Leopard machine, only the word or area that you are typing is blurry, then crisp as it renders. It doesn't try to reload the whole screen since you are only modifying a small portion of it.

  • Lion to Snow Leopard MBP 13 Early 2011

    GDay guys,
    ive bought an used mbp 13 early 2011 and on the recovery hdd is only osx 10.7.5 but ive seen on the apple site that the mbp 13 early 2011 was deliveried with osx 10.6.
    is it possible to downgrade or reinstall to snow leopard?
    can i download snow leopard anywhere for free or do i have to buy it?    

    Depends on what version of Snow Leopard came with the computer. Snow Leopard is only available as 10.6.3 on the retail discs. Newer models cannot boot from that version. You would need the original discs which you can purchase from Apple Customer Service.
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    For Mac App Store: Apple - Support - Mac App Store.
    For iTunes: Apple - Support - iTunes.
    There is no "downgrading." You will have to erase the drive and install Snow Leopard from scratch or create a separate, new partition on the drive on which to install Snow Leopard.

  • Static electric feeling near palm rests on MBP 13" early 2011

    i just purchased a MBP 13" early 2011 less than a week ago. when i unplugged the magsafe power connector after full charged, i get this static electric feeling near the palm rest edges (both left and right wrist area). but when i plugged in the magsafe power connector (even though it full charged) I do not get this electro-feeling anymore. is it something wrong with my new MBP 13" ? Should I send in Apple Care Centre for another new set exchange?

    I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider  (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store,  make a reservation.

    One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll be amazed at the increase in performance an SSD can deliver over a HD, the two storage mediums work differently, and one of the OS features SSD's benefit from is TRIM. While you've probably seen a lot of discussion and disagreement about that on these forums, this article about the Samsung 840 EVO SSD also goes into how SSD performance changes over time for a variety of SSD's. The narrative is interesting but the graphs are an eye-opener, showing how relatively successful Garbage Collection alone vs GC + TRIM are in recovering full performance. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that while activating TRIM is simple, activating it with Yosemite installed has a real down-side. So if you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, you might keep that in mind.
