Is it possible to have a MBP 2011 converted from glossy to matte?

Hi,
Bought a MBP earlier this year. Love the machine, but even after lots of comparing in the store, I think going with the glossy was a mistake. The glare is starting to get irritating, and photo editing is harder when you're seeing an enhanced image. Is it possible to have my screen changed by Apple?
Thanks,
David

No, Apple won't do it, but third party companies will, likely will void your warranty.
However you can go the route of expensive stick on aftermarket anti-glare films, get a few and keep them in a good spot, your'll be replacing them as they dry out, peal and bubble.
Google search for your model and anti-glare films.

Sorry I couldn't reach you sooner, I advise everyone to get a anti-glare laptop.

  • I have been using DNG converter from the beginning.  But suddenly the bottom part of the interface has disappeared where the Convert button is.  What's happened

    Very strange.  Why would it disappear after all this time

    Very good question.  In fact I have just replaced my monitor with a higher resolution screen.  However it is all irrelevant now as I have cured it.  I uninstalled the old versions of the Converter and installed the latest version 9.  All works ok.  The hardest part was finding where the DNG Converter had squirreled away on my computer.  Eventually found it but I couldn't get access to it through the Control Panel.
    Many thanks for your reply

  • No 1920x1080 output to external monitor from MBP 2011 OSX 10.6.8

    Hi, I have a MBP 2011 running OSX 10.6.8.
    I have recently purchased an Asus ML249H Monitor and the Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 10 ft (3 m) MDPHD10FT.
    The monitor should display at 1920x1080 natively but does not. The MBP max output resolution is 1600x900 on this screen. Is this a known issue with the MDPHD10FT cable or is it OSX? What it the work around to get 1920x1080.
    Thanks

    i had to go into iCal Preferences and delete my account and then put it back in.  Everything is working fine, now.

  • MBP 2011 13" - SATA III SSD's issues

    Hello,
    I have a MBP 2011 - 13" i5 and SATA III 6/3 from week 23 (June).
    SSDs have issues:
    Patriot Memory Wildfire fw 3.19 120 GB is unrecognized - The MBP can't find the SSD.
    Crucial M4 fw 009 128 GB - Installing time Snow Leopard > 1,5 h, freezes, beachballs all the time, impossible to use.
    I had a meeting at a Genuis Bar and the guy said to me: That isn't a cable issue because the HDD is recognized.
    What can I do?
    Best regards

    This is starting to sound similar to the mid-2009 MacBook Pro issue. Those machines shipped with a chipset that supported SATA 3.0GB, but the firmware had them locked at 1.5GB. After people realized this and started to complain about it, Apple released a firmware update enabling 3.0GB support. Unfortunately, tons of people ended up having problems with trying to use third party 3.0GB drives (Apple shipped the machines with SATA 1.5GB drives). Basically, Apple's only response was that they didn't support third party drives. That issue was never resolved. After thousands of posts... it just faded away:

  • Possible to have different names on one account?

    Is it possible to have my account name different from the name on the registered credit card? My mother is allowing me to use her credit card for my Apple ID but on things like the iCloud it shows her name, since that's the name on the credit card. So, is there a way for me to have my name as the main account?

    No.

  • Is it possible to downgrade an Early 2011 15" MBP to Snow Leopard?

    Is it possible to downgrade an Early 2011 15" MBP (MacBookPro8,2) to Snow Leopard?
    The laptop shipped with Lion, and I don't recall whether this model ever even shipped with Snow Leopard.  I figure if it did ship with snow leopard then there is at least a chance that I'd be able to downgrade.  Though, of course, I don't have the disk.
    I will check with the apple store guys at some point, but I thought I'd ask here.
    Austin

    If you had bought the same model MBP a few weeks earlier you could have received two software licenses - Snow Leopard as shipped, and also a free upgrade to Lion. That being the case, why not call AppleCare  and see if they will "retroactively" give you the same capability by sending you the grey-labeled machine-specific Snow Leopard install disc that originally shipped with your model MBP before it started shipping with Lion.
    In this thread the OP requested a Snow Leopard disc for a new iMac that shipped with Lion, and reported the following:
    Called Apple and they first said I coul not install SL, a day latter and I received a call from the manager saying that I had gotten the wrong information, so yes, I can install SL. They sending me the grey disk free of charge.
    Apple usually charges a nominal fee for replacing a "lost" grey-labeled Install disc. Of course in your situation you are not actually "entitled"  to any disc at all, and the particular person at Apple that you speak with may not be as accommodating. But it can't hurt to ask.

  • Have a mbp late 2011 2.2Ghz original config with 4G of ram 1333mhz , have upgraded ram to 8G of 1600mhz than upgraded with 16G of 1333mhz and find it much slower, should i return to previous config ?

    Cheers everybody, new here...
    I know, despite the specs published 8Gmax and 1333mhz, for the macbook pro late 2011 2.2G i7 processor
    We can read here that its possible to go 16G ram, and also to 1600mhz.
    1-have a mbp late 2011 2.2Ghz i7 (original config with 4G of ram 1333mhz)
    2-last w/e have upgraded ram to 8G of 1600mhz found it seemed to work fine and it was fast
    3-than upgraded with 16G of 1333mhz and find it much slower
    Not sure of what to do from now :
    wondering if it could be that 8G 1600mhz is optimal ?
    I havent tried 16G of 1600mhz yet...

    Hi there !
    Update:
    Here are the last changes, as of this morning, of the configuration on my macbook pro late 2011 (2.2Ghz processor 15.4 screen).
    Now have 16 G (2x8) of Kingston RAM 1600mhz (12800 1.35V) that and a brand new 256G samsung 850 pro SSD.
    I KNOW...NOT QUITE THE SPECS SUPPLIED FROM APPLE/INTEL ... :/
    I was able to trade the 16G 1333mhz purchased RAM for 16G of 1600mhz , so i gave a shot...
    So im happy about the result and hope this will last and not fry in the next weeks...
    Honestly It's running quite well and fast too.
    Thanks everybody and good luck
    p.s.
    And Here, as promised, the answer from Intel :
    joe_intelIl y a 3 jours
    The document does not list all the processor models but it is the correct document for your processor family (http://ark.intel.com/products/family/59136/2nd-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processo rs#@Mobile). "1Gb, 2Gb, and 4Gb DDR3 DRAM technologies" refer to SDRAM density, it is not about capacity as it is usually expressed in GB (instead of Gb). SDRAM density depends on the total amount of memory chips on the stick and per side (SDRAM organization). Memory modules rated or sold as 1600 MHz may or may not run at 1600 MHz; this depends on the Serial Presence Detect. If the SPD is 1333 MHz it will run at 1333 MHz by default unless it is configured manually. If the memory runs at 1600 MHz (by SPD or set up manually), the memory controller might be running at a higher clock speed than what it was designed for, this may cause issues along the way.

    i have even done a apple hard ware test but it says everything is alright
    i am really tensed what do i do pls help me

    If AHT doesn't show any issues, your best bet would probably be to take it to the Apple Store. The AirPort (Wi-Fi) card may have been unseated from its original position. If there is a problem with the card Apple should be able to replace it for free.

    The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
    Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
    You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
    Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase
    Get a nice 1TB USB external HD for $65

  • MBP 2011 freezes and Kernal panic using Netflix?

    Anyone have an issue with MBP 2011 13" i5 16G RAM freezing while using Netflix? Genius Bar diagnosed it as a bad motherboard. This issue started over a year ago the screen goes black and get three beeps chime sometimes i have to reset the RAM in order to clear it.

    Just one more thing - the description of what i did while first Kernel appeared:
    Happened 2 days ago. Wasn't turning it off for like a day, only sleep mode by closing it. Worked fine all day, wasn't doing anything, except for checking mail 2-3 times and having windows 7 virtual machine opened but doing nothing, everything was going fine. Then closed it without turning off.
    Opened 3-4 hours later, everything was working fine for 30 minutes of checking mail, then Kernel appeared. After that pretty much everything i did is described in part 1-5.
    Note: all the time MBP was connected to internet via wifi, so updates to both MBP and virtual machine of all programs were possible.
    I only shared downloads and desktop folders, so windows couldn't have access to system folder of Mac Os.
    Hope this might help...Thanks again.
