Original install disks may be obtained from Apple.  Give them a call and be prepared to give them the serial number of your MBP.  There is a charge.

  • Cannot install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. disk is rejected. what do I do?

    Unable to install snow leopard in macbook pro early 2011. When I put in the disk, the computer does not accept it. What can I do?

    lord1908,
    some Early 2011 MacBook Pros originally came with Snow Leopard installed, and some originally came with Lion installed. If yours originally came with Snow Leopard installed, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard from its model-specific grey Mac OS X Install DVD. (The white retail Snow Leopard DVD can’t be used with it; it was made for use with earlier models, which originally came with either Tiger or Leopard installed.) If yours originally came with Lion installed, then it won’t accept any Snow Leopard DVD; instead, you’d be able to use OS X Internet Recovery to download and install its original version of Lion from Apple’s servers.

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro primo 2011

    How do I install Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro primo 2011?
    It came pre-installed with Lion.
    When I put in my Snow Leopard DVD I just get a kernel panic and must restart.
    Help! I can't use Lion on my university so I need Snow Leopard.

    Hello,
    In response to eww, and others.
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" early 2011, shipped with Lion.
    I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.7 with a grey disk from an other MacBook Pro 15" early 2011, shipped with SnowLeopard 10.6.7!
    It works except that the trackpad isn't recognised correctly. In System preferences, if I click on TrackPad, I don't have the full options, but it's waiting for an external bluetooth trackpad. So I can't have the multi touch options.
    If I click on mouse, instead of waiting for an bluetooth mouse, i can set the speed of the mouse with two cursors.
    Do you think that an other instal can fix the problem? Maybe by apple care as eww said, or with a genius in an Apple Store.
    Thanks

  • How install snow in a macbook pro early 2011 with mountain lion? snow leopard original dvd its no support...

    Any solution for this?

    You have to boot the system from the original Snow Leopard DVD. With the DVD inserted in the drive restart the system and nhold down either the Option key, and then select the SNow Leopard DVD from the boot selection screen that comes up, or the C key to boot directly from the DVD drive.
    Once the computer starts from the SL DVD Click the Utilities menu item and select Disk Utility. Once that starts select the top most entry in the keft side, the drive name and size, then the partition tab. Select one partition from the Partition Layout area drop down, Middle area, give it the name Macintosdh HD and format Mac extended (Journaled) and then click the Apply button.
    Once all that is done exit DU and continue with the install.

  • Heating Issues for MacBook Pro (early 2011)

    Hi
    Am facing heating issues and am looking for what should be the ideal fan speeds for CPU Temp range
    My Mac Details
    MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
    Processor : 2.8 GHz Intel Core
    Memory : 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Storage : 750 GB SATA Disk
    Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    My standard use is Mac with one VM (Win7) running.
    What I have observed is the Fan speed is generall ~ 2000 rpm for CPU temp range of 55 - 70 Deg C.
    Should the fan be spinnig faster as the base of the machine does become too hot for comfort to be working on Lap.
    Are there any apps that can help me run some tests to montor performance?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Brijesh

    A MBP should not be used on your lap since your body will act as an insulator that will inhibit heat dissapation.
    Heat generated will be a function of the stress placed on  the CPU/GPU by the number and type of applications you have open.   Skype, video, games, and the like can result in temperatures that  approach and exceed 100 c.  There are internal sensors that will shut  down the MBP if it starts to over heat.
    The temperatures that you have reported are not unusual and are well within acceptable parameters for the MBP.  The fans will start to speed up, when the heat increases, as required.  Some users install fan control software, but I am of the opinion that what the Apple engineers have installed is satisfactory and need not be altered.
    You may encounter a runaway application as described in the following link.  Usually a restart will solve the issue.

  • Best SSD for Macbook Pro Early 2011?

    It seems the top two contenders are Samsung 840 Pro and Crucial M500.  From a real world perspective, would I even notice the difference between the two as far a speed goes (or any other ones for that matter).  i guess I am just curious if anyone has found other SSD drives that work nicely with the macbook pro, with or without trim enabled.  I know the 840 EVO has issues for whatever reason.  What about the Seagate 600 which does not use Sandforce or Marvell, or other Marvell drives like Sandisk Extreme II or Plextor M5 pro xtreme?
    Also, if you could had how long they have lasted and comment on whether there has been any degradation in quality, that would be helpful as well.  Things such as temperature and battery life would be helpful as well.  Most review sites are so focused on Windows, it makes it hard to know.
    I've already upgraded my RAM with the Crucial 16gb package and that is working well, and I am just looking to do the one other upgrade that will make this laptop viable for a few more years.

    JasonB824,
    I went with the Samsung 840 PRO (with TRIM enabled) for my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I haven’t had it for very long, and it’s nowhere near full, so I can’t comment on its long term behavior. I haven’t observed any quality degradation yet, and it does come with a five-year warranty, so it should last a while. I almost always run my MacBook Pro plugged in, so I  can’t comment on differences in battery duration between charges. (Hmmm, why did I reply? ) My MacBook Pro only supports SATA II, but since yours supports SATA III,  you should see the full performance characteristics of whichever SATA III SSD you choose. Unless you’re engaged in heavy-duty disk-bound use, you’ll be unlikely to notice speed differences between your top contenders.

  • How to fix magsafe port Macbook Pro early 2011

    For a while I struggled to charge my Macbook Pro, so I decided to buy a new charger. It worked fine for a couple weeks but now it has started to do the same thing. I have to spend like maybe 3-4 min wiggling the charger until it finally starts, and then I  have to keep it perfectly still for it to charge. Recently my macbook stopped charging completely. The magsafe port looks very burned (its kind of black). Also the area around the magsafe port is always HOT, even before the charging issues. How can fix this issue? Is this common for Macbook Pro early 2011 13" ? I don't have apple coverage at this time.

    Sean, see if these troubleshooting tips help:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters if not, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.

  • How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    How to install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro? keep getting msg- cannot install Internal HD is used for Time Machine- this was reset to external HD and still get msg?

    At some point, your internal HD was selected for use as Time Machine backups, and a Backups.backupdb folder was created at the top level.   So OSX thinks you're trying to install it on the same drive as your backups.
    Open your internal HD with the Finder (you won't find it via a Spotlight or Finder search) and delete that folder.

  • Install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro problems

    Hi all,
         About early November, I upgraded my MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) but failed to restart it. The spin sign stayed there for a very long time and nothing happened more.
         So I decided to reinstall the OS X 10.6 with a CD ordered from Apple with the MacBook Pro, but the installation stopped and reported failure after a few minutes. Then, I tried to format the hard disk (Toshiba 250G), but it reported either "Input/output error" or "Could not allocate memory".  I thought my hard disk may be broken, I bought a new one (Hitachi 750G) but still can not format the disk with same errors.
         After search related topic in the community, I took the internal hard disk out and mount on my Desktop (Mac Pro, OS X 10.5.8) through USB port, I could format both the hard disks (Toshiba 250G & Hitachi 750G). I followed one instruction about "Installing Snow Leopard onto an External Hard Drive" (Dan Hinckley, Maciverse) and installed the OS X 10.6 on one hard disk (Hitachi 750G) through my Desktop Optical Driver (Booted on the DVD).
         I mounted the hard disk (Hitachi 750G) on my MacBook Pro and could run the system. Then I decided to move this external hard disk into my MacBook Pro as an internal hard disk, however, when the MacBook Pro started, it showed a STOP sign (one circle with an oblique line) and several quick flashes of Apple icon, then reported some error messages like below (I list some of them),
       "Panic CPU0 Caller", "Unable to find driver for this platform", "SourceCache Debugger Called", etc.
         What shall I do next,
          1 Install the OS X 10.6 one more time when the hard disk (Hitachi 750G) inside my MacBook Pro, booting from DVD through Optical Driver.
          2 Get the hard disk (Hitachi 750G) out and mount as USB external again and update to higher version of OS X (but which version?).
          3 Other suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Bart

    I purchased a Macbook Pro on Nov 2 2011 which was pre-installed with Lion and I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on it. It won't recognise my SL Install Disc at all and just hangs so I wiped the drive and attempted to start up from a bootable SL memory stick. I got an audible alarm from the Macbook Pro which would only stop when I restarted the computer. I had to re-install Lion from a Time Machine back up via the internal recovery disk. I'm pretty sure that late 2011 MBP will not take SL but I'm waiting for a Firewire 400 to 800 cable to arrive so I can try to wipe the internal drive entirely and install via Target Disk mode. I'm not hopeful but I gotta try as I need Snow Leopard to run Pro Tools and other programs. If only I'd bought it before October 24th this wouldn't be happening!!!!!!!!!!

  • Can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts.

    can't install Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro MC700 - 3 beeps after installer starts (10.6.3 retail). Lion installer starts normally. What's a problem?

    I have the same trouble, I try installing rEFI but when I try start my Pro from DVD doesn't recognize.
    Can I start from USB Memory? with files from SL DVD? or have some thing else?
    I have original DVD of SL 10.6.3, if I buy the latest stable version, can I install? or the EFI firmware with Lion change again?
    I try to use Lion, more than one week but I can't, and some app that I use for my profession, doesn't work, I really need downgrade to SL.
    Really Thanks for any help.
