'Late' 2011 Mac Book Pro, iPhone 5 & iPad Mini Retina

I have been trying to use the new 'Handoff'' feature without any success.  I can enable handoff on my iPhone and iPad but I can't find anyway to enable the option on my Mac Book.
Has anyone else been having this problem and has anyone managed to resolve the issue?
any help will be gratefully received.  Thank you.

Hi mende1,
Thanks for the reply. That's disturbing to hear. My computer is nearly ALWAYS at this high temperature (or at least this is the temperature that is reported). For example, I just paused a netflix streaming video to check my mail. The fans are going at 5,500 RPM. And the temperature is listed at 176º F. But now, after only a minute, the CPU is down to 140º F (60º C) and the fans are at 2,000 RPM.
Is that not normal behavior?
The temperature does not get that high doing any other activities (apart from maybe a flash video game).
I should probably mention that it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Anything I should do to test it? I'm thinking of taking it into the Apple Store for a monitor issue.

    How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

    Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
    It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
    Make sure you backup

  • I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB.  What accessories if any do I need?

    I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB.  What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment. 

    No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
    As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others.

  • Late 2011 Mac book pro fan noise

    I have a late 2011 model mac book pro, and I have never noticed the fan being this loud, I just have a browser open and the fan is pretty loud. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you note that the fans aren't working properly, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • Can i add a second hard drive to my late 2011 mac book pro 15.4

    I have the 750 GB HD and am getting down to 300Gb I would like to ad the 750 hybrid to my mac book pro. But didn't  know if there was a place to mount it because I havent taken it apart.

    You'd have to remove the Superdrive...will void your warranty...and use something like this:

    If you have any problems, you will have to reverse it all before you go to a genius bar. Many users do this with no issues.

  • Point of view on running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro?

    I bought my MacBook Pro a couple of days before the current genneration came out in June of 2012.  I was told that Mountain Lion would run well even on the older genneration and I was convinced by the 'genius' that it would be well worth it to buy the old one since I could get the old gen 15 inch for the price of the new gen 13 inch.  I love mac, and my macbook but ive been hearing some stuff about how its Mountain Lion just doesnt run smoothly with the old gen hardware....im starting to agree with them.  I havent got to use a new gen with mountain lion but i assume the freeze ups and the delays dont happen as much.  Just looking for some thoughts from other people who have experienced this issue.....
    biggest issue chat has just messed up texting with my iphone i had to delete it, notifying me randomly form days ago and other times not notifiying me at all

    I have a late model 2011 mac and I ran mountain lion on it for a few months. It ran ok but I ended up reinstalling lion on it about a week ago just because I found lion ran better. I don't think it has anything to with the "slightly" older hardware. I think mountain lion is just a resource pig. One thing was very noticeable and that was the shut down time. With lion my mac shuts down in a second or 2. with mountain lion it took 5-10+ seconds and that was with a clean install of mountain lion.
    If you don't need any of the newer feature, whatever they are, then just stay with lion. I read a article this morning that apple is coming out with 10.9 in a couple of months. So I'll try that, in a separate partition this time, when it comes out and see how I like it.

  • How much ram will a late 2011 mac book pro 17inch upgrade?

    These are the specs for my Macbook Pro
    MacBook Pro
    17-inch, Late 2011
    Processor  2,4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
    My Macbook Pro contains 2 memory slots, each of which accepts
    a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module.
    i want to upgrade to the maximum the RAM i have. I want to know what kind of RAM card could I get someone in this community to reccomend.
    thank you very much

    One reason I favor OWC is that if you call them up and tell them that their RAM is malfunctioning, replacements are sent out that day, not when they get the bad RAM from you.There are a couple of forum colleagues who use Corsair RAM with no problems.  Macs seem to be very selective about RAM and some brands simply do not work properly in Macs.  OWC and Crucial have good track records, hence the recommendations.
    I often grin when someone complains about an inexpensive or bargain part does not perform well in a Mac.  When one pays a premium price for a computer, I would think that quality should come before price for any add-ons or modifications.  It is like purchasing a Ferrari and then using regular gas. 
    If your replacement Corsair RAM is working, you should be just fine.  One bad experience should not condemn a manufacturer or vendor.
    Ciao.

  • I have a late 2011 mac book pro and I'm wondering if it uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive? Which eventually I'm going to replace with a SSD.

    I was wondering if the late 2011 macbook pro uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive. The reseason I'm asking this is because some day I'm going to replace the Hard drive for a SSD drive down the road and would like to use all the performance of the SATA controler.

    SATA III.

  • Late 2011 Mac Book Pro Should streaming videos be HD or SD?

    Streaming Rental Videos. Should I order HD or SD?

    Has nothing really to do with your computer, but has everything to do with your bandwith connection speed. Personally I can't tell the difference on my late 2013 macbook pro retina, between HD and SD when renting movies in itunes the screen is too small, but thats a YMMV thing.

  • Hello Can u use plustek optic film 7400 with my late 2011 mac book pro intel i7 OS X v10,10,1, seems like it would worka

    predate any comments or pointers.

    If your search for software drivers for this optic film scanner device hasn't
    been successful, you could try this other source for drivers that may work:
    http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/plustek_opticfilm_7400.html
    However later drivers for old hardware can be troublesome, or patchwork
    method to get by and so the results could be spotty. Hopefully you looked
    through the results from a search engine and looked to see if there were
    any other options. The above vuescan driver says for Mavericks 10.9, &
    it may cost to be able to use it.
    The factory support site isn't too promising for that model:
    http://plustek.com/usa/support/os-compatibility.html
    http://plustek.com/mea/support/technical-support-form.html - contact support
    http://plustek.com/mea/support/drivers-and-downloads.html - check here
    http://plustek.com/mea/products/opticfilm-series/opticfilm-7400/
    Since older hardware gets left behind, it usually is good to keep an older
    computer and its OS X version at the level of these peripheral products.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17"; what is the highest temperature it should be running at?

    Using iStat Pro I am seeing temperatures of up to 185º F or so (with the fan running very loudly at 5K RPM). What temperature should I be worried at?
    It's currently on a flat surface, actually elevated on two wooden blocks. But still getting high temperatures when streaming silverlight.
    I'm on Lion 10.7.5.
