Graphics problem mac book pro late 2011 model

I have a mac book pro late 2011 model.my screen gets grey after the apple logo pops up and freezes and it becomes extremly hot.as my mac was out of warranty i gave it for repair but it didnt resolve as it was a graphics problem.later on i came to know that a lot of mac book pro late 2011 model users have the same problem.will apple change the logic board for me as its just two years old and i paid around Rs.120000 for that mac and now i am not able to use it.i saw the logic bard price and its like Rs.45000 which is like too expensive.i dont know what to do? i came across a forum saying apple will replace the logic board for free if its graphics related issues for mac book pro late 2010 model if its within 3 years from the date of purchase. here is the link .
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US
I am a student and it took much time and money to buy that mac.please let me know if someone can help me replacing the logic board.its just two years old and as new as i bought. pls help

You're having the problems as discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 - thread. There is no scheme to replace the logic boards as there was for the 15" mid-2010 model. Depending on where you are and what consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country, Apple will likely want to replace the logic board (at a substantial cost). The best 'fix' for the problem at this time is to have the GPU BGA reballed back onto the logic board.
Take a look at the thread and see if you've the same problems - it only affects 15" and 17" 2011 models, not the 13" model. If you've the 13" model, you have a different problem.
Good luck,

Mountain lion and the problem it causes. How can I watch my Mac book pro mid 2010 on my TV passing through an amplifier for 5.1 sound?

Hi guys,
before Mountain Lion came out, I had my Mac Book Pro mid 2010, nicely connected to my DENON AVR-1912 amplifier through HDMI. The Amplifier would send the signal to the TV and manage the Audio as well.
Since Mountain Lion came out, I could not anymore use my iWires HDMI cable to connect my MacBookPro to the amplifier, as my Mac would not recognize anymore my amplifier as a TV and therefore would not give me the display option that it used to give me with Lion. Result- I can not adjust the signal that goes through the HDMI cable and the signal is not recognised by the amplifier and then transmitted onto the tv. NO SIGNAL
So I went to the apple store and was told I could use the Apple tv 3rd Gen to do that. So I bought it, and went back home. After having installed and realised that it didn't worked as well, I've called the Apple customer Service. They told me thta unfortunately, since I have a Mac Book Pro bought in mid 2010, I can not benefit from the mirroring function (Come on an i7 processor is absolutely good enough to do that). I asked if I could upgrade my Mac to a machine able to do that as I need this functionality. I was told I can't. I have to buy an other machine and sell mines through their recycle program....
So I returned my apple TV 3rd Generation, and decided to buy a VeeBeam HD. This product says that I can easily stream from a Macbook Pro with an i7 and 4Gb of ram to my TV. However, when the Veebeam arrived today, I tried to install it... and it didn't work, why? Because Apple has changed some "protocols" and does not allow anymore third party companis to produce products that stream data from Apple products to a TV.
So... my dear Apple, how am I meant to watch what I've got on my laptop (movies, music and stuff) on my TV going through my Amplifier now? It really seems I can not go by cable (the cable Apple sells- iWires), I can not use the Apple TV3rd Gen, and I can not use third party products.
IS this normal to you?

Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
Brian

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Are mac book pros mid 2010 capable of upgrading to mountain lion?

are mac book pros mid 2010 capable of upgrading to mountain lion?

Yes.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How do I mirror my mac book pro late 2009 to my apple tv

How do I mirror my mac book pro late 2009 to my apple tv

Airplay Mirroring requires MacBook Pro early 2011 or later and Mountain Lion or later.

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor since Lion update.

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010) is no longer recognized the external monitor sinceLion update. On Mac OSX 10.6, I had no problems.
Mac screen is just blue, as if he switches. But then there is no further signal.
What can I do?

Bump- I have the same issue. Screen slowly dims for no observable reason until I rearrange to point it more directly at light source. Odd thing is that the light in the room does not change. So scren will be fine for hours while I am working and at some point just slowly dim until I rearrange. Any information helpful.

Installing windows 7 on mac book pro late 2013

Installing Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013
Background
Mac Book Pro Late 2013 uses a USB 3.0 hub for the external ports, the keyboard and mouse devices.
Windows 7 does not have the drivers to support USB 3.0 ports so these must be integrated into the boot.wim and install.win files so that Win7 can be installed and used on a Mac. If these drivers are not integrated when win7 is booted up then the mouse and keyboard will not function.
Requirements:
Two USB Flash drives
Access to a Mac computer
Bootcamp Assistant application
Access to a Windows computer with windows 7 installed
Windows 7 install disk or ISO file
WinUSB application
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 (WAIK)
Method
On a Mac
First prepare a USB Flash drive by formatting it using disk util app, found in Application Utility folder, to FAT format this will store the Apple drivers that can be downloaded from Apple using BootCamp.
This will be called USB1
Using Boot Camp Assistant select 'Download the latest windows support software from Apple' to get the files from apple for win7 for your particular machine these will be downloaded and copied to the USB Flash drive called USB1.
On a PC
Using a PC download a copy of WinUSB from www.joshcellsoftwares.com this software can create a bootable USB with the win 7 files copied on to it.
Obtain a copy of Windows 7 either in DVD or ISO format.
Using WinUSB and the Win7 DVD create a second bootable USB Flash drive. This will be called USB 2.
About DISM
DISM is a windows application that allows the editing of windows image files with the extension of WIM.
If DISM is not installed on the PC it can be downloaded from windows website.
To test to see if DISM is installed, open up a command prompt. Then type 'dism' without the quotes this will display the help description of DISM.
Drivers
The apple drivers need to be added to the boot.wim file so that mouse and keyboard can function during the setup phase.
The apple drivers need to be added to the install.wim so that mouse and keyboard can function after the setup phase.
The video drivers are also added as it appears to cause problems if they are not included.
Create a directory structure like this:
c:\appleboot\
drvrs
mount
win7x64install
win7x64boot
Create the following files in c:\appleboot\ with the following code:
adddrivers.cmd
color 0a
dism /image:c:\appleboot\mount /add-driver /driver:c:\appleboot\drvrs /recurse
================================================================================ ==========
mountboot.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
mountinstall.wim.cmd
color 0a
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
================================================================================ ==========
unmountcommitfiles.cmd
color 0a
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount /commit
================================================================================ ==========
Copy the following files into their respective directories:
Copy from USB 1 into drvrs the $WinPEDriver$ directory
Copy from USB 2 \sources\boot.wim to win7x64boot directory, this will store the original file
Copy from USB 2 \sources\install.wim to win7x64install directory, this will store the original file
Then copy boot.wim from win7x64boot directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Then copy install.wim from win7x64install directory to the c:\appleboot\ directory
Once all the copying is completed then run the following cmd files in this order:
For boot.wim
mountboot.wim.cmd - this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted boot.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the boot.wim
For install.wim
mountinstall.wim.cmd- this will mount the file for adding of drivers
adddrivers.cmd - this will add the apple drivers to the mounted install.wim
unmountcommitfiles.cmd – this will commit the changes and unmount the install.wim
Copy the files back to USB 2
Copy the boot.wim and install.wim files from c:\appleboot\ directory to USB 2 sources directory and overwrite the files.
BOOTABLE USB
You will now have a bootable USB Flash Drive that has the additional drivers needed to install Win7 on Mac Book Pro Late 2013.
Mac Preparation
On your Mac using Disk Util reduce the size of the partition of Macintosh HD so that there is approx. 80GB free for the use of Win7.
Add a second partition, label it win7 and format it to FAT. This is so that win 7 setup can identify the correct partition.
Installing Windows 7
Insert USB 2 into your Mac and reboot, whilst holding the option key down.
After reboot there will be three icons displayed one is the Mac operating system, the second is the recovery partition and the third is an orange icon indicating a bootable USB drive.
Select this and win7 setup application will proceed to boot up with the keyboard and mouse functioning.
Follow the prompts and when the drive selection appears select the win7 partition and format it to NTFS so that win7 can be installed. When windows setup reboots press and hold down the option key and select the windows partition so that setup can continue to install.
After completion of installation of win7 insert USB 1 with the additional apple drivers. Goto the bootcamp directory and click on setup.exe file this will install additional drivers needed to use Win7 on a Mac.
Once completed reboot your Mac and select windows to allow the drivers to update in windows.

Yes this is correct that the /index:4 refers to the ultimate version of windows in mountinstall.wim.cmd
dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\appleboot\install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\appleboot\mount
Users should do what applekryzzle suggested if you have a different version of windows. Thanks for the tip applekryzzle.
With regards to the Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller drivers they are the ones that are provided by apple via boot camp assistant.
These appear to work correctly and downloading as per instructions simplifies the procedure.
For those that are interesred the updated drivers can be found here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22824&ProdId=346 7&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%20*&DownloadType=Drivers
I have also seen in other discussions that some users get black screens i believe that it is the lack of video drivers which is included in the download from apple using boot camp assistant.
I'm certain that this works on Mac Book Pro Late 2013 models and i feel confident that this will work with other models.
I will appreciate any feedback if this works on other models.

Mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up.

my mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up. Any ideas what is wrong? Removed and re installed memory, that did not work.
Thank You ecbrum

If you're handy with tools, pop the bottom pan on the Mac, take out the RAM sticks, thoroughly clean the contacts on both the sticks and the Mac (blow clean with a compressed air duster on the Mac, use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts on the RAM sticks), reseat and reinstall the sticks and retry. If same, try swapping the RAM sticks. If you need pictorial assistance, see here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+RAM/ 4319/1

8 gigs in Mac Book Pro late 2008

I have read that the Mac Book Pro late 2008 can now handle 8 gigs of ram, if you have the latest Boom Rom Version (i have the exat on needed). I currently have 4 gigs. My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple? Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?
I am really not into HACKS, but 8 gigs would be nice.
THanks
bob

+My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple?+
It really is supported.
+Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?+
Yes, but you'll be paying about four times the going rate. It's easy to install RAM yourself. Just be careful not to touch the gold contacts, or if you do, clean them with rubbing alcohol. Also take care not to cross-thread the screws that hold the bottom cover on when you put them back in.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush, but only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag).
Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
Any help would be great, Thanks

Battery issues with MAC Book Air (late 2010)

Since I updated my MAC Book Air (late 2010) to the latest OS X 10.6.8. the battery is empty after 2.5 hours. Before it worked for approx. 6 hours. Whats your experience?

I have been having the same issues as well. I downloaded Coconut battery to see the status of my battery, but it just clocks down very quickly still. I have disabled flash on Safari as well, and still I am charging my machine 2-3 times a day during the day.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (PrinterProxy) in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Hello Phil2407,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you wish to connect your MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) to your HDTV. You mentioned that you have attempted to do so with a Thunderbolt adapter and HDMI cable? Your computer actually doesn’t have a thunderbolt port nor does it support thunderbolt. You’ll want to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter:
