Late 2011 MacBook Pro; one USB port not recognising anything

Hi,
I've had my MacBook Pro since January 2012, so I believe it is the late 2011 13" model. I'm currently running OSX 10.9 although the problem I've been having has been going on around 3 or 4 months, I think I had OSX 10.7 installed when the problem started.
One of the USB ports on my Mac (the one on the left when looking at them face on) is not recognising my external hard drives, or recognising/charging my iPhone when plugged into the USB. The other USB slot works fine and recognises external hard drives, however when I insert the hard drive into the faulty USB input, although the hard drive lights up and starts whirring as if it is ready to start functioning, it does not appear under the 'Devices' tab of the Finder screen, but does appear and function when using the other port.
Similarly, when I plug my iPhone 5 into the faulty port it is not recognised/does not start charging, however if I leave it running and come back later I often have at least a level of increased battery life which suggests that it does intermittently charge from time to time, and again it functions normally when using the fully functional port.
I've tried the NVRAM reset as I have read in another post but to no avail. Is this likely to be a mechanical fault over a software problem, and if so what could be wrong with it?
Thanks for the help in advance.

thank you shootist, at least now I know the problem is as serious as I dreaded, but will not loose hope waiting for a miracle and the port works again

  • Late 2011 macbook pro 13" battery life not good

    I can leave my laptop plugged in all night turned off, and in the morning it only has 99% battery. It seems to quickly discharge. After about an hour an a half, I am down to 50%. I bought this computer in October. I has intel core i7 with 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. This does not seem normal. If it is in sleep mode, the battery will drain over night if not plugged in. That also does not seem right. I appreciate any help.

    If the battery drains completely overnight when not plugged in, the machine is either not going to sleep at all or not staying asleep. That is not normal, and you need to figure out which is true and what's preventing the machine from sleeping. When the sleep light pulses, the machine is asleep. When the sleep light is on steadily, not pulsing, the display is asleep, but the computer is not. Before leaving the machine for the night tonight, make sure the sleep light is pulsing. Then note the light's status in the morning before you wake the computer. Post back with your findings.
    An overnight drain from full to 99% while shut down is normal, because once the battery is fully charged, charging stops, and does not resume until the battery has gradually drained to below 95%. Whenever a battery isn't being charged, it is slowly losing its charge, even if nothing is connected to it at all. This is a fundamental property of batteries.
    Battery runtime while the computer is in use depends entirely on what the computer is doing and on your user settings. The maximum battery-powered running times advertised by Apple can only be achieved if the machine is doing almost nothing and all energy-saving settings are maximized. To maximize running time on a charge, do all of the following:
    Dim the screen as far as you can stand
    Turn off keyboard backlighting
    Turn off BlueTooth
    Turn off Airport when it's not in use
    Make sure you aren't using the discrete GPU, if your MBP has one
    Disconnect all bus-powered peripheral devices: portable hard drives, iPhones, iPods, iPads, USB mice, USB trackpads and keyboards, graphics tablets, cameras, etc., etc.
    Quit all applications that aren't in active use
    Close all application windows and tabs that aren't in active use
    When using wifi, avoid web sites that have Flash content, including advertisements
    Don't use the optical drive
    Don't stream multimedia content form the Web
    If you can take all these steps and still get anything useful done, you may be able to get close to Apple's maximum running time estimate for your machine. In practice, very few of us can accomplish anything under these conditions, so we don't expect anything like maximum running time on a charge.

  • I have Late 2011 Macbook Pro and zxcv keys are not working?

    I have late 2011 Macbook Pro and the zxcv keys are no longer working. Once I connect USB keyboard I can utilize these keys. Do anyone have solution?

    How did you try to use Acitivty Monitor?
    Open Activity Monitor, choose "All processes" from the list, and sort processes by CPU usage. More likely than not, there will be task using up good bit of CPU.
    You could also try resetting SMC:

  • What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

    What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections?  I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

    Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
    There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
    "1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
    1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
    1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
    1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
    Also in those reviews:
    " Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
    Personally I only deal with OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
    They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
    Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
    When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
    As far as value for price:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
    500 GB for $130.
    However as far as reliability is concerned:
    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
    http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
    So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
    Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

  • Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

    You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
    That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
    Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
    Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
    I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) backlight keyboard not functioning properly?

         I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and for some reason, the automatic backlight keyboard will not funtion as it should. When I have the "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light" option enabled in settings, and I turn on the lights, my backlight keyboard stays at full brightness. Then, when I turn off the keyboard, then the lights, the keyboard does not turn on! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that this was a feature in the MBP lines.

    Try a SMC reset.   Shut down the computer. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Press the power button to turn on the computer.   Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Late 2011 Macbook pro will not detect HDMI

    I recently purchased a MDP to HDMI adpater for my late 2011 macbook pro (I have OS X 10.7.5). I hooked it up to my television and tried to use it as a monitor but my macbook pro refused to detect display. Heck the screen didn't even turn blue when I hooked the adapter up. I wanted to make sure my port was working and hooked up my MDP to VGA and it worked like a charm the screen turned blue and my cintiq was detected immediately. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem as well?
    Ther is a possiblity that it is the actual adapter because I bought a floor model in an effort to save some bucks. So I'm going to take it back for an exchange later on today and see if that works. But if that isn't the case does anyone know how to resolve this issue.

    Did you click the "Detect Displays" button in System Preferences > Displays?:
    Bottom-right?

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro battery is toast, and I am not sure why!

    I have had my late 2011 Macbook Pro for 3 years and 5 months. Before I left for vacation on July 28th my battery held 98 percent charge. I turned it off and put it in my closet. Now when I have came back my battery holds 2.2 percent, not even enough to be unplugged for a second (128mah). I of course expect my battery to go at some point but my battery has only been through 340 cycles and apples site says the max is 1000. Any suggestions into why my battery is dead after so few cycles? Additionally any suggestions into where I can buy a battery for my computer?

    ipodperson1,
    your battery holding 98% charge before you left for vacation doesn’t tell the most relevant information — what its Full Charge Capacity was then. Is 128 mA·h its current Full Charge Capacity, or its current Charge Remaining? That is, is the battery merely drained, awaiting a full recharge, or is it now unrechargeable?
    You can buy a replacement battery for your MacBook Pro by taking it to an Apple store, or if you prefer to replace the battery yourself, you can buy a suitable battery from reputable third-parties, e.g. NewerTech batteries from OWC.

  • Late 2011 macbook pro not mirroring

    Hi,
    I have a late 2011 macbook pro 13"(I checked the serial number). osx 10.7.5. Apple tv 3 (md199LL/A) version 5.2.1. and i still dont' see the airplay symbol at the top of my screen. I can airplay from itunes, but not mirror my screen. Any ideas?

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install

    After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?

    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. Quit DU when it is finished and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
