I bought my MBP in late 2011. It started doing a three beeps with a freeze in January. It's gotten to where I can't do ANYTHING without it doing it and I want it fixed. It freezes CONSTANTLY. What can I do about it?

I really need to keep this laptop throught college (I'm a rising freshman.) It's incredibly discouraging since I spent four years saving for this so I could get away from all of the problems with viruses I was experiencing with my previous Windows computers. Please help me, even if it's just to say to send it to Apple. How much would something like this cost?

Try doing a NVRAM/PRAM reset on your macbook.

if that doesn't work, try to do a SMC reset

3 beeps usually means RAM, it also means that you need to re-seat your RAM.

Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power. Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash. If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash. An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

Windows 8.1 for MBP 13" late 2011 BootCamp

Hi guys i have a MBP 13" late 2011 and I am installing windows 8.1 using bootcamp from an usb. I have reached the Install Windows part on EFI device ( the yellow usb). It is the part when i have to choose partition (1-4). Partition 1 is the Macintosh HD and partition 4 is the bootcamp. When i was about to choose the partition 4 it said that it can't be chosen because of windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space because. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much before.

Hey Timothyrg,
Long story short, if your computer doesn't meet the requirements, it doesn't meet the requirements. There are some Thunderbolt -> PCI X boxes that can run almost any GPU. However, in OS X, a Thunderbolt Aware driver for the graphics card is necessary for these to work. This is a limitation of the OS, not the hardware.
As to what a GPU is, it stands for "Graphics Processing Unit." This is a chip that's designed to manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images. The better the GPU, the higher the FPS/details that can be loaded at once.
tldr;
If your system doesn't meet the requirements due to graphics card limitations, it doesn't meet the requirements. You can't open your MBP up and throw in a new GFx card. If it's RAM limitations, that's fudgeable a little bit. If it's processor (CPU), you're in the same boat as you were with the GFx card.

Can I use RAM from MBP 15 late 2011 to MBP 13 mid 2012

Hi All,
I presently have an MBP 15 late 2011 (running at 4GB RAM) - which I feel is very slow. Had been reading a lot of discussion threads and most viable solution seems to be to upgrade my RAM - found it in Crucial.com (8gb x 2 kit).
I have another MBP 13 mid 2012 (running at 2GB RAM). I was wondering if I can transfer my 4GB RAM from my MBP 15 to my MBP 13.
Will there be any compatibility issues? Will this work?
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks.

Random BSODs disappear when I uninstall BootCamp on MBP 13" late 2011, w7 x64

Hi, I am wondering if there are faulty drivers in the latest version of BootCamp 4.0 (downloaded on 29.05.2012).
I have MBP 13", late 2011 (MBP81.88Z.0047.B27.1201241646, 24/01/2012), and have installed on it Windows7 Ultimate SP1 x64 using BootCamp. Prior to unistalling BootCamp software, MBP was randomly freezing under Windows7 with a clumsy display. It was logging nothing to the dump files. I have run several times driver verifier and all the times recieved c2 BSOD until I unistalled BootCamp!!! (I can post the dump files if needed.) After that, although I have no access to special features of keyboard and trackpad, I have no problems in Windows and MBP runs fine under driver verifier's stress tests.
An interesting observation that I can make is that without BootCamp CPU cooler seems to be noisier.

My ipod touch is disabled for 22 million minutes and I want to fix it but I dont want to lose my pictures and everything else. Help please

my ipod touch is disabled for 22 million minutes and I want to fix it but I dont want to lose my pictures and everything else. Help please I dont remember the last time I updated it. Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

Apple considers jailbreak a misuse of product. Any Apple.com site will refuse to support.
If you bought it with jailbreak intentionally, you made a mistake.
If you found out only after purchase, get your money back by returning it.

MBP 15 (late 2011) Harddrive 750gb/7200rpm

Hello,
does anybody know wich brand/model (750gb/7200rpm) of harddrive is used in MBP 15" (late 2011).
Especially, I would be interested if the the 750gb/7200rpm HD is much noisier than the 500gb/5400rpm?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure, but in my early '11 MPB 13" the stock hard drive was made by Hitachi (it is a 320gb 5400 rpm).

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

I bought a MBP 13 inch, it has started to give me temperature trouble

I bought a MBP 13 inch, it has started to give me temperature trouble. I installed SMC fan control, and there only right side fan RPM is shown. Does it mean my left side fan is spoiled? I brought it about 3 months ago.

You are under warranty. Take the MBP to an Apple Store, or Apple Certified Reseller and have them perform a hardware evaluation.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you've received an email then if it's not personalised (e.g. 'dear client' or 'customer'), is in poor English, and has a 'verify now' or similar link in it's a phishing attempt to try and get your iTunes account and payment info - in which case you could forward it to Apple :
