There is no need for anyone to use 32-bit version anymore.
Retail comes with both. Or you can save on just buying 64-bit System Builder disc.
Better support for today's hardware with larger video graphic memory and systems.
Better memory management.

  • Yosemite on Macbook Pro 13'' early 2011: crashes and loss of functionality

    After the OSX update my Macbook pro 13'' early 2011 has developed lots of problems: apps crash, battery doesn't last like before (5 hours in standby instead 10), Safari opens pages in 2 minutes and when I try to turn off the mac, it keep on working. I will try with a clean installation, but do you think this is normal? Thank u for the support.

    The battery is non-removable, so if you want Apple you have to go to the Genius Bar.
    As far as genuine Apple memory, I think it's the same thing. You may get it in the store, I don't think they sell it online. You can try calling the 800 number. You seem to want the Apple RAM only, but I have to tell you that most of us here recommend Other World Computing or Crucial.

  • I currently have a MacBook Pro 17in (Early 2011) and it Turns Off randomly.

    I currently have a MacBook Pro 17 inch (Early 2011). Whenever I remove the power cord from my Mac it will automatically/randomly turn off. I though that it was a software problem so I reformated my entire drive and reinstalled the OS. I also have it running the current OS and have gotten all the updates. However my laptop still turns off whenever I remove the power cord. I'm not sure what to do next.
    p.s. I have googled some way to fix this "problem" such as turning the computer off and waiting for 15 seconds with the power cord remove but still my MacBook Pro has the same symtoms.
    Is it a problem with my Mac? Is it fixable?

    Got 16GB here and it's sweet, just waiting for a large SSD to come down in price.
    Did you check out the really speedy jobs here?

    This is the specs for your drive, ranked 68
    Methinks if you do a bit more research and look on NewEgg you can pick up a faster SSD for same coin or a bit more.

  • I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 and i need to upgrade the ram

    my plan is to upgrade to a ssd and upgrade the ram but i'm not sure what kind of ram (pc3-8500/10600/10660/10666/12800) and how much i can put in it..
    on apples website it says i can upgrade to a maximum of gb of ram http://support.apple.com/kb/SP619?viewlocale=no_NO my mactracker software says this:
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    so how much ram can i install, and what kind of ram.. i know it has to be DDR3....

    Apple only supports 8 GB, but you can install 16 GB on your computer. You have to buy SDRAM DDR3 1333 MHz. You can buy RAM on OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM

  • I have a MacBook pro 13 early 2011 model. For some reason it stopped working and everytime I try to start it up it beeps and does nothing. Did it happen to someone else. What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    My Mac won't start, all it does is beep and I don't know what's wrong

    Most likely a RAM issue.
    How many beeps?
    Click here >  Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model: Auto Shutdown/Restart Problem

    Hey guys!
    This is my first time to sign in, join the community, and ask a question or create a discussion. FYI, I really have little knowledge on tech stuff so please bear with me. Here's my problem, and I hope you can give out your suggestions:
    I have a MacBook Pro 17" Early 2011 Model which I have upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion.
    A month or two ago, it had started shutting down or restarting at random times. As time passed, this problem became more frequent.
    I finally decided to have it checked at Digital Hub, a licensed Apple distributor. After almost a week, they've finally diagnosed that the problem is with my battery. I got my MacBook pro back around 2 (two) weeks ago, and ever since then I had to use an outlet in order for it and myself to work properly. Right now, I'm still saving up to purchase new batteries.
    Recently, however, I've noticed that my MacBook Pro auto restarts even when plugged. Take note, RESTART and no longer shutting down completely. Upon further trials, I've finally concluded that it does so only during the use of heavy programs such as Diablo 3, Final Cut Pro X, and when rendering with iMovie. I have yet to try with Adobe products, particularly with Lightroom and Photoshop, and see if it does the same. But more or less, that's what I've noticed so far.
    Given that I still haven't purchased the battery yet, I know it's still vague to know the real probelm/solution. But with the given situations, what are you views on this matter? Please let me know. It'd be of great help. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

    (Note, I'm a starting out Multimedia Arts Student and photographer. I have little knowledge of the industry for now, but I'm willing to learn. So please forgive me if I don't understand your suggestions at once if they are very in depth or technical.)

    Thanks for taking so much time in helping me.
    Just an update:
    2 loops/passes done - no errors.
    Called up Digital Hub and talked to the technician, he says there are 3 possible problems:
    1. Battery (which is still inside the laptop) may cause some disturbances with the electric current
    2. Software related - most likely re-formatting may be needed
    3. Video card may have failed, which means complete change of the logic board ----> worst case
    I'm crossing my fingers that it's either of the first two.

  • MacBook Pro 15 early 2011 slower than it must be...!!!

    Hello everybody,
    I have an MacBook Pro 15 early 2011, 2.2 Ghz, 4 RAM... It is running Mavericks 10.9.5, the latest update... The Etrecheck statistics seems to be very fine. So, here are some good and interesting questions: Why does my Mac work not that fast as it was on Slow Leopard? Why do I wait around 25-30 seconds to run Microsoft Office Document? Why the operating system is booting around 60 seconds? Why when I use software like MatLab, it turns that is not so possible to switch between the apps really fast, because multitasking freezes?
    At the beginning, when I installed Mavericks 10.4.1, I thought that it is not enough RAM, after I read some comments from people that are using 2009 MacBooks running Mavericks and everything is fine, I canceled this possibility. Then I thought that my HDD is dead, I checked it 1000 times, its fine... So, the question is: what could it be, slowing my mac???
    I plan to increase my RAM to 16 GB, but I am really not sure if it will help, because mavericks has another algorithm of RAM usage...
    Really hope to hear some logical answers!

    Remove "MobileGo," or else refer to its developer for support.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • My MacBook Pro 13'' Early 2011 is not booting.

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro 13'' Early 2011. Last week I tried to replace the thermal paste on the processor and on the graphics chip. I followed a video tutorial and an iFixit tutorial step by step during the entire process. Once I was finished I decided to turn on my Macbook and give it a spin. Unfortunately it didn't work, although I haven't touched or damaged anything on the logic board, as far as I'm concerned.
    The scenario goes as follows:
    I press the start button..
    The fan spins once, the hard drive reads for a second and the sleep button flashes for a moment. I am not hearing any chime, neither does my screen go on.
    The Macbook Pro turns off again automatically.
    I am going to open it once more before it give it to the authorized Apple service. Do you have any idea where the issue might come from?
    Thanks for your replies!

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

    First go to the RIM web site and look to see if they have an uninstaller for the device you had.  Some times a reinstall of the application and then running the uninstaller is required for complete removal.
    If no uninstaller is available, then you will have to use Spotlight to find all items with 'Blackberry' and 'Rim' in the titles.  I would also download EasyFind and use that to locate such files.  Often it will locate items that Spotlight misses.
    Ciao.

  • Which SATA has macbook pro 13 early 2011

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro 13 early 2011, 2 months ago I take out DVD-rom and put in new 128GB SSD, which has 550mb/s read and 520mb/s write speed, but when I do a speed test (Blackmagic disk speed test), it shows that read speed is maximum 150mb/s and write speed maximum 120mb/s, so where is the mistake? Has my Macbook SATA3? Thank you for answers.

    MMerevous,
    all MacBook Pros from 2011 on support SATA III, but only for the internal disk (or the primary disk, for setups such as yours, where the SuperDrive has been replaced with another internal disk). You will not get SATA III speeds from any disk installed where the SuperDrive used to be, and SATA III hard disks are known to have problems when installed there. For maximizing your throughput, you should put your SSD in the internal disk’s position, and put your hard disk (if it’s not SATA III) in the SuperDrive’s position.

  • Is it able to bootcamp via USB drives in Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" early-2011..
    I want to install windows 7 using bootcamp via usb drives.
    It is becase my superdrive is broken and i've asked the service center how it will cost to fix it..
    And its about 250$.
    I try to enabling the usb boot in bootcamp, but when its done partitioning disk and starts rebooting, there comes a black screen with " there isn't bootable device".
    any body can help? and are there any option to boot via USB?
    thanks,
    i apreciate your help

    The above post is not completely correct. On your model year MBP the only way to install Windows is from the built in Apple DVD Superdrive. This is not a MS restriction and is totally an Apple restriction. The Firmware on that model year, and any model that has a built in DVD drive, is set to only boot the Windows installer from the built in DVD drive.
    Microsoft has nothing to do with it. On any other computer, even a Mac that doesn't come from the factory with a built in DVD Superdrive, you can install Windows from any type of device connected to a USB port, whether that device is a external DVD drive or some type of flash or rotating drive of one type or another.
    Also Boot Camp Assistant is for partitioning the Mac hard drive and making that partition ready to install Windows. It has nothing to do with the actual Windows install.  That is all controlled by the Windows install routine.
    So your only option is to have the Superdrive replaced or replace it yourself

  • MacBook Pro 15 (Early 2011) i7 Freezes in Windows 7 (Boot Camp)

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 (Early 2011) i7 that consistently locks up/freezes (10 - 15 times per day) when in Windows 7 via Boot Camp. There are no error messages, no Blue Screen of Death, nothing....just locks up. I have tried reloading the Boot Camp drivers but it still happens. I have a suspicion it is related to the AMD Radeon HD 6750M driver. Any ideas on what could be causing the issue or how I go about troubleshooting the issue? Thanks.

    msconfig / chkdsk / Windows 7 DVD system repair or rollback restore point
    Ccleaner 3.09 - remove temp files and caches / also run Registry section
    Start: Run %TEMP% (select all) and remove all the contents in there
    Heat, fans, poor Apple drivers, I would not blame ATI but I would upgrade/install those.
    And yes BC 4.0 probably was not tested fully.
