Late 2011 Macbook Pro Wont Boot into AHT

My brand new MacBook Pro use to boot into the Apple Hardware Test.
Recently I was having software problems so I restored my mac from the lion restore partition, now I can’t boot into the Apple Hardware Test. I don’t have restore disks or software disks because my MacBook Pro did not come with them Any Ideas?
Thanks Kyler

First off, some other forum members have reported having to hold down Command-D instead of just D to get the AHT to load.
If that don't fix it, as per this article ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35727.html ) it can be loaded from a USB disk. Since your Mac came with a factory-installed Recovery partition, you can concoct a bootable USB startup disk (hopefully containing the AHT) as per these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
Hope this gets you the AHT back.

Late 2011 macbook pro will not perform AHT

Hi All -
I have a late 2011 Macbook pro (A1278) running 10.6.8.
I've tried running AHT by holding D down while powering up as well as trying D+Option. Neither method is working. I've been sure to hold these buttons down before pressing the power key and continued to hold them down but nothing happens. The computer just boots up as normal. Suggestions?

Late 2011 Macbook pro - Wont recognize 8gb memory

Hello Apple users,
so heres my problemo. I recently purchased this item . http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YUF8ZG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1 .
Corsair 8GB (2x 4GB) 1333mhz PC3-10666 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM Laptop Memory Kit CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9
For my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" 4gb. I Installed both sticks and turned it on, white/gray screen with apple logo shows up underneath it is a spinning white wheel and it spins for a bit then stops and nothing happens it just stays frozen like that. Now when I take one of 4gb sticks out and put a stock 2gb stick in, it loads and the computer turns on and recognizes that I have 6gb of memory. so im thinking okay maybe I have a faulty stick, but then I try the other 4gb with a stock 2gb and it works also.. so now im thinking okay maybe I DONT have a faulty stick.. so then whats the problem ?? I put both back in again in different slots and still not able to load. Am I not waiting long enough for it to fully load ? like does it take more than 5 mins to first start up? or is the speed on my macbook not capable of letting this load idk?
does anybody have the same problem and was able to solve it?
Any info will help, im about to start a new job and I need my macbook to be quick running multiple apps and having the extra storage helps.
thank you in advance!

It appers to be the wrong memory type. Reliable sources for memory (gurarenteed compatible and warrantied for life with excellent service) are OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial.com.
They both report the spec is PC3-10600, not 10666.

Can you return it and then purchase from one of these sources?

Late 2011 Macbook Pro wont upgrade to Mavericks or restore from time machine backup

I recently tried installing Mavericks on my MBP, but during the installation, it will hang up and restart. I then tried to restore with time machine, same issue. I have used check disk and repair, no issues. I have a boot camp partition on the hard drive as well. When mavericks first came out, I tried to install with the same issues, and I remember recieving an error saying core services couldnt be found. I was able to restore from time machine then.
I have cleared the PRAM, repaired the hard drive, attempted a clean install from a bootable usb, and re-install the OS from the recovery partition with no results. At this point, the mac is a aluminium paper weight.

I have 8 GB of RAM, but would that even matter during install? Performance once installed and running sure, but I questiong whether the installer would demand that much more, or why it would affect mountain lion when restoring from a time machine backup.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro Wont Start

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.

13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down. If successful, you should see two HDD icons, Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
Ciao.

I have a late 2011 macbook pro and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated

I have a late 2011 macbook pro running OSX Lion, and it wont update the firmware to 2.7, it downloads the update then says its installing it but when i go back to software update it keeps coming up saying it needs to be updated. Im wondering what can i do to stop this or get it to update.

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

HT201295 Late 2011 Macbook Pro refuses to boot. SMC reset doesn't work

Late 2011 Macbook Pro refuses to boot. SMC reset does nothing. Have tried bypassing SMC (nothing).
Magsafe light glows very very faintly (barely visible in a room with lights on).
Have tried reseating the battery connector. Battery indicator status button illuminates no LEDS (despite it being charged before failing).
The mac didn't get wet. Was using a non apple USB cable at the time to tether/charge iphone. Computer just dead after working fine.
Any ideas anyone. Logic board?
Many thanks and best wishes
Jamie

Is it a 15" or 17" MBP? There have been logic board issues with that model.
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro
For all models.
If it's a 13" take the bottom off and disconnect the battery:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Late+2011+Battery+Repla cement/7649
So only do this through step #3!
Wait 10 seconds. Push the power button for 5 seconds. Wait 10 seconds. Reconnect the battery. Put the bottom back on don't screw it on just yet. Tape it temporarily in place and try to start it
Even if it's a 15" or 17" try this anyway. Usually when graphics on the logic board fails there will have been anomalies beforehand.

OS 10.7.5 pinwheels Late 2011 Macbook Pro

I am using a late 2011 MacBook Pro and I am getting recurrent pinwheels no matter what I do. Even booting into safe mode, I get them but it usually takes a little while of normal use until they happen. At first I thought it was Chrome, but after I started using Safari the behavior continued. In the console, this sometimes happens right before the pinwheels start:

1/10/13 5:38:16.000 PM kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero

I remove the istat widget and the excessive fan speeds ceased. However, the machine will still become unresponsive and begin pinwheeling after a random amount of time, never less than 10 minutes. I have run hardware tests and there does not appear to be anything wrong with the logic board or the RAM. I do have an SSD installed but over one-third of the drive is free space.
I have had the activity monitor open when this happens, but I cannot tell what process(es) are using the system resources because it becomes unresponsive too. I have tried updating to Mountain Lion, but I can't get it downloaded in full before the machine pinwheels again. I tried doing a Lion Internet Recovery, but I only got 10-15% done before it errored out and told me that it couldn't finish the download. After that, I could attempt to restart the installation, but then it did not see the SSD at all. I no longer have the original HDD to test the unit, but it appears that the SSD is the problem. I am looking for help in any other areas before I install a new piece of hardware.

Sorry ... I read but was unfortunately distracted from your original post. You have a system that came with Lion. The Lion that is on your system is only for your computer and cannot be downloaded from the app store again because you never purchased it officially through the App Store.
Try this for making an external USB/DVD copy of Recovery on an external disk. internet is still required for reinstall, though, I believe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848. But at least you have a separate Recovery Partition if you ever need a fully new and empty internal disk.
Your assumption is incorrect. Although he may not be able to download it from the App store he can download it directly for the Apple servers using the recovery partition on his original drive.
All you have to do is start the install routine and then point the install to an external hard drive. Once the download is finished the computer will reboot to start the install. At that reboot disconnect the external drive so the install can not start. Boot the computer back into the OS on the internal hard drive, which is what will happen automatically once the external drive is disconnected. Then connect the external and copy the files from it that were downloaded. Right click on that downloaded package file and select Show contents. In the contents of that package is a file called InstallESD.DMG. Copy that file out of the package and burn it down to a DVD or USB thumb drive and you now have the Full Lion Installer. I have several of them laying around on different hard drives and 2 USB thumb drives which I have used to reinstall Lion on my 15" MBP.
Sorry OP I should of just typed this out in my first post.

Late 2011 MacBook Pro stuck at spinning wheel of death after a Thunderbolt issue, HD erasing and fresh Lion install from Recovery HD. Please help me!!!

So, I think the title says it all, but to give you a little more info:
I connected my late 2011 MacBook Pro to my TV using a Thunderbolt HDMI adapter, and closed the lid. When I opened it, it wouldn't show the login screen, so I restarted using power button. Got stuck at the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. So I booted the Recovery HD and found out it was a HD problem, so I (reluctantly) erased the HD and installed Lion from scratch. When it rebooted (after DOWNLOADING the Lion components) I got some terminal commands (sorry for not being more specific, still a noob when it comes to Mac) and then the screen faded and a message appeared saying I needed to reboot the computer. So I did. 3 effing times. Then I got stuck AGAIN at the spinning wheel, and I'm currently with that on my screen. I'm trying the forums before calling Apple (my computer's still within the 90 days of warranty) because it's not yet 9 A.M. where I live

can you go back to recovery mode then open disk utility.
in disk utility, higlight the disk, the one saying the brand and size then click on repair disk under first aid tab
if it repairs fine, that's okay
if repair was not successful, go to partition and change current to 1 partition then apply
install lion again
hope this helps

Windows 7 install on late 2011 MacBook Pro without bootcamp (performance issues)

Hey guys I'm hoping I can get this issue resolved. I have purchased a late 2011 MacBook Pro (radeon 6750m 1gig). I installed a fresh copy of windows 7 without bootcamp. Having real issues with game performance like world of Warcraft. I have done this with an older unibody Mac and it ran great (for any non believer)... But now this time around I'm getting horrible fps in game. I'm thinking it may be driver related it buy I am having trouble finding the right drivers to see if that's then issue. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

That is completely false. There is no real need to leave OS X on the Mac if you don't want to, especially with Win 7 or 8. That may of been true with Windows XP but not anymore.
The problem with leaving OS X installed is then you are really limited with what you can do with the drive. You can only have one Windows partition and if you fool with it at all Windows will no longer boot. you can't even change the OS X partition otherwise Windows would boot
Windows 7 will install all by itself. No need for any Boot loaders or Hack Boot system. Pop the Win 7 DVD in the DVD drive and restart. Windows will be installed all by itself. But you do need the Apple support files.
In the end if you are going to run Windows on a computer by itself then you really should not buy a Mac. The hardware is the same and as to the OPs perceived better built quality I personally do not see it. And if you actually read some of the posts on this and other Mac forums you will see that perceived build quality is just a bunch of hype, in my opinion.
To the OP. You aren't missing anything.
If you had carefully read what I wrote, I merely said that doing the install on a blank drive wasn't a good idea. That's because it can create issues the OP is having. A Mac's hardware is no different than a comparable Windows machine, but the EFI/BIOS/Firmware is. Macs are in something of a no-man's land in this regard, as they have neither an old-school BIOS or modern UEFI of recent Windows-based notebooks. I'm willing to bet that the performance problems the OP is having relates to the fact that a straight EFI install on a modern MBP "enables" (for lack of a better word) automatic graphic switching. The capability manifests, but the functionality is not there. Enterprising individuals have been trying to get graphic switching in Windows to work as it does on the OS X side ever since MacBooks debuted with this abliity but with zero success.
Using Boot Camp bypasses this, as the discreet GPU is enabled full-time in Windows. Thus, you will realize proper performance.
As far as perceived build quality, Apple machines are at the high end of the consumer notebook spectrum. They're certainly better than most of the other machines you can pick up at your local Best Buy, but they fall short of business-class machines such as the Dell Latitude/Precision, HP ProBook/EliteBook, and Lenovo ThinkPad.

Putting a SSD in the optical drive bay of a late 2011 MacBook Pro.

I want to put a large Solid State Drive in the optical drive bay of my late 2011 (Model ID 8,2, 2.4 GHZ quad i7, 8 Gigs RAM, SSD boot drive) using the carrier and drive from Other World Computing. The "About This Mac" box shows that the optical drive is 6G so I'm thinking that it should be OK putting a 6G drive in that bay, but OWC says that MacBook Pros have only a 3G optical drive capability. I know this was true on earlier models, but my bay says 6G.   The 6 G SSD's are faster and have a longer warranty. I do pro audio work and want to record to the new drive with speed and reliability. Is there any way to prove that my MBPro will handle 6G? I was told by someone at OWC who looked up my my serial number that it would work, but another tech guy at OWC said they didn't recommend it. I'm thinking that they just issue a blanket "no" answer to cover themselves against people ordering a 6G drive for a machine that wouldn't handle it. Before I order a 6G drive is there a way I can know for sure if it will work?
Many thanks,
Robert

If the computer is correctly identified as 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro, and not an Early 2011 build series,
according to MacTracker database (http://mactracker.ca download application) optical drive interface supports
the same spec as the hard disk drive...
Hard Drive Interface    6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
Optical Drive Interface    6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
So should there be an error in identification, that would make a difference. Some Early 2011 models may
have the 3.0 Gbps or 6.0Gbps data rate in the optical drive. All Late 2011 models should be 6.0 Gbps.
Good luck & happy computing!
