  • 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.

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and having issues with utilities screen.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I want to reformat my hdd to start from scratch. My issue is when I am on the utilities screen I am unable to click on anything. I want to delete my current partition but I am unable to click on Disk Utilities. Please help me!

    According to your profile your Mac is running v10.7.3 Lion.
    If that is the case, to reformat the hard drive you need to use Lion Recovery not Disk Utility.

  • Can't find the Airplay icon! I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. Yes I am sure that it is Late 2011 because I looked up the serial number and the website says it is indeed MacBook Pro Late 2011. I just bought an Apple TV and I want to use Airplay but I CANNOT find the Airplay icon on the upper right menu bar. I updated my software and everything but I still dont see it! What do I need to do inorder for me to use Airplay? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

    What Mac do you have? It needs to be at least 2011
    OSX needs to be at least 10.8
    Has nothing to do with Internet, you need to check your local network and also make sure both ATV and Mac are on the same network. Airplay should also be enabled on ATV

    So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

    ...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
    "Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
    If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
    If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
    There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
    This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
    What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

  • I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, with 10.7.5 that recently started freezing.

    I have run disk verification and repair.  I have tried resetting the SMS with that- hold down cmd, opt, shift and power at start up trick.  I have deleted tons of files that were a waste of space.  The problem started after trying to run time machine to reaccess my internet history. I deleted the history and then realized that I wanted it again and I used time machine to recover it. That was around the time it started freezing up.  Also, another culprit could be my email... I accedentally set my email account to active on my school profile and recieved tons of emails at once. I tried deleting them, but many of them gave me an error message and wouldn't let me delete.  Then my computer started freezing up... I don't know what was the culprit, but maybe these clues help?
    Also, I am wondering if I upgrade to the free Maverick OS if this has a chance at fixing the problem.  ?
    Please help! It's been several days now and I am trying to get my school work done.  If all else fails I will take it to the Apple Store.

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 with Thounderbolt, will it support dual monitors display?

    I have recently working on this Macbook pro, and wasn't able to find accurate information about the dual display solution for this MACBOOKPRO model.
    It has thunderbold port.
    Have anyone happen to have this model and successfully connected with two conventional monitors?
    Conventional monitors I mean, VGA, HDMI, or DVI.
    Thank you.

    Hi O,
    According to MacTracker, the answer is a clear no for the 13" and yes for the 15" and 17".

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My MacBook Pro Late 2011 current Mac OS X is 10.7.5.

    Should I need to update to ML before Maverick? or wait for the Maverick release?

    With Snow Leopard, you were able to upgrade directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, skipping Lion.  I'm not sure if this is how it will be with Mavericks, but I would guess it would be similar.  

  • The thunderbolt firmware 1.2 update keeps reappearing. I have a MacBook Pro and 2011 Thunderbolt display. Did not discionnect when upgrading to Yosemite (only read the instructions later). Thanks.

    Hi There,
    I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011) and a Thundertbolt Display. I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then Thunderbolt Firmware update 1.2 keeps reappearing and I cannot complete the update (with and without display connected etc.). Any advice? Thanks.

    Hello HTG65,
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing try reinstalling it following the steps in this article.
    Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2: Keeps reappearing and Thunderbolt ports and Target Display Mode may not work - Apple Support
    To resolve this issue:
    Shutdown your computer.
    Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Wait 10 seconds.
    If you are using a Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, reconnect the Thunderbolt display directly to your computer via the Thunderbolt port. Do not connect other Thunderbolt devices at this time.
    Restart your computer.
    If the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 is offered, download and install it and restart your computer when asked. If the Thunderbolt Update is not offered, the update has installed correctly.
    Reconnect all Thunderbolt devices.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • 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.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2011 Intel VT

    Hi everybody,
    I'm in front of a problem.
    I have a macbook pro late 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) , cpu is Intel Core I7 2,2 Ghz.
    I've installed the latest parallel desktop 7 and the lastest vmware fusion on OSX Mountain Lion (10.8).
    Into a virtual machine, i've installed microsoft windows 2008 R2 in both parallel and vmware, and i would like to add the hyper-v role, but i receive this error message :
    The processor on this computer is not compatible with Hyper-V. To install this role, the processor must have a supported version of hardware-assisted virtualization, and this feature must be turned on in the BIOS.
    I'm  pretty sure that my CPU is Intel VT compatible.
    I've restored the laptop via a timemachine with OSX 10.7.4, but it's still the same problems.
    My system is fully updated, but i remember that i played some times ago with reefit, but i dn't know if it matters.
    Anyone here successfully enabled VT on the macbook pro late 2011 and could help me ?
    Thanks in advance.
    NB: I've also tried to install Citrix XenServer, and i've also received a warning that my system isn't VT compatible, but i'm sure it's.

    Thank you very much for your fast answer
    BTW, according to parallel and vmware, VT is implemented and compatible, but on my laptop, it seems not.
    I tried only with parallel desktop 7 installed, but same problem, i'm unable to add hyper-v role to my virtual machine.

  • Macbook Pro Late 2011 Grey screen

    Hi pals,
    I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011 since 2012. I've upgraded it to Yosemite, thing that I've to do from scratch because it worked very slow, but that's not the deal here.
    The other day I started it, and it simply didn't do it. I've tried everything, like Unique user mode, safe mode, starting from dvd, reseting PMU-PRAM-NVRAM, changing hard disk, changing RAM,... everything I've found in the internet.
    Only one thing worked once, and I say once, because it only worked once... I switch the HD and I used an USB to install Yosemite from scratch. It worked but when I reseted it, it never came alive again... That time, I used Disk Utility on Yosemite to format the original hard disk (700GB 7200rpm), and I recovered my personal data.
    Now, when I try to start it from USB to install or from HD it never works. It shows the progress bar till 1/3 and then the screen becomes grey, the CPU heats and the fans start to spin like crazy. Sometimes it turns off, sometimes it doesn't and I have to do it.
    Any help will be welcome, thank you .

    The colored lines  seem like it's a hardware graphics problem, likely brought on by the EFI firmware update that's been going around lately that exposed problems your hardware had you didn't know about.
    Your  going to have to bring this problem to Apple, I hope you have AppleCare because it's looking like a replacement logicboard and they are not cheap.
    You can try exhausting the remedies in my User Tip, but those mostly deal with issues from the gray screen onwards, the colored lines represent a firmware issue and Apple doesn't release the newest versions online for self reinstall until they have proven themselves.
    If your worried about sensitive data, you can order a tool kit from OtherWorld Computing, open the machine and remove the hard drive and use a SATA to USB connector to another Mac to remove data and scrub free space in Disk Utility.

  • MacBook Pro Late 2011 Restore and EFI partition gone.

    Hello!
    Sorry if my problem seems easy to you but im stuck in a difficult situation. Im quite new to Mac, but after i tried to delete the BootCamp partition on my MacBook i deleted the Recovery HD and the EFI partition by accident. Now my question: is there ANY way to get a new copy of the Recovery HD so i dont have to use Internet Recovery each time? And is there a way to get the EFI partition back so i can update my EFI Firmware again? Mac OS X isn't damaged and is at the same place on the disk as before. 200 MB of free space before Macintosh HD and ~4 GB after it. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011, 13", 4 GB RAM, a 500 GB Hard drive and i have the EFI Firmware version 2.3 on it so i can still restore using Lion Intenet Recovery.
    Thank you for your answers!
