Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel

Mac Book Pro 13" Early 2011 Samsung SSD PinWheel
16GB DDR3 Apple MacBook Approved RAM.
I upgraded to a 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO drive, install was fine using IOS 10.6.8 but using Logic Express PinWheel of death
would appear loading tunes, taking ages to load with 16GB RAM? and loading tracks from a Firewire Drive which uses less processor.
I goto Samsung and get the latest Firmware and create an image and burn it to CD and run it from a Command line. The Pin Wheel continues,
I upgrade to Maverick in an attempt Apple would know about Samsung's top of the range SSD drives? perhaps not. I have even more issues since the upgrade,
Itunes unresponsive, missing Apps like Ableton Live 8, more loading Pin Wheel issues.

  • Does the Mac Book Pro 17" (early 2011) come with a restart CD?

    Does the Mac Book Pro 17" Osx lion (early 2011) come with a start up CD. Trying to install Windows 7 and it ask to install the CD that came with the Mac Book Pro, but my box did not come with a CD?
    Thank you in advance.

    Actually the Late 2011's came with the horrible OS X Lion 10.7 and a ability to install OS X on a blank drive by holding the command option and r keys down on a wired Ethernet/Internet connection. (Internet Recovery)
    The command r held at boot is for Recovery HD, which is on a partition on the boot drive, which yours is obviously blank.
    Once you get Lion on it, and get to AppStore, you can upgrade to worst OS X Mountian Lion 10.8 from there or redownload it by loggin in with your AppleID.
    There is a way to shoehorn OS X 10.6 onto that machine (fastest and runs older PPC software) if your interested.

  • I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal. I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model)

    Hello,
    I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
    I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
    I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

    Some things you can try.

  • I purchased a Mac book pro in oct 2011, I restarted it after updating and it,s stuck on apple symbol, I hit command R while restarting and clicked on disk utility. It says disk can't be repaired, apple wants $249 to tell me what's wrong. Please help!

    I purchased a mac book pro in oct 2011, I restarted it after updating and it,s stuck on apple symbol, I hit command R while restarting and clicked on disk utility. It says disk can't be repaired, apple wants $249 to tell me what's wrong. Please help!

    What Apple store told you they wanted $249.00 to tell what is wrong?
    If this is a 13" Macbook Pro then that is the cost of the Extended Applecare warranty. As you are outside the 90 days of Free Phone Support then what Apple told you is that to get Phone Support you would either need to pay $45 per phone call or pay $249.00 for the Applecare extended warranty which comes with 3 years Free Phone Support from date of purchase.
    Or you can take it to a Apple Genius Bar and have them look at it for Free.
    Every Mac comes with 1 year warranty and includes only 90 days of phone support. You can buy the extended Applecare warranty anytime within the first year of ownership, IE until the 1 year warranty runs out.
    I suggest you have your computer looked at by either an Apple Authorized Repair Center or Genius Bar and then before the 1 year warranty runs out buying the extended warranty

  • Black screen on Mac Book Pro 17(late 2011)

    Mac Book Pro 17 (late 2011), Model A1297, MD311LL/A, 2.4 quad.core i7/2x2 GB/750-5400, Running OSX Maverick 10.9.4.  One day OK, next day a black screen.  Tried soft reboot, nothing.  Computer acts like it is on (keyboard lights up), and white light on front pulses as if in hibernation mode, battery is at 95%. all AC plugs ok.  Nothing external to this computer. Can you help?  Linda, [email protected]

    First, I would try:
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that does not help then try booting the computer from the Recovery HD. If it still does not work then there is a hardware failure. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

    Is there anyway I can connect my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to my samsung ES8000?

    IOS?
    Do you mean OSX (or is there another device you have yet to mention)?
    If it is OSX connect the phone via Bluetooth and use the Browse Device command to access files. I have no idea whether this will work but it won't break anything.

  • Mac book pro 13' late 2011

    Hi,
    My mac book pro 13' late 2011 isn't starting up. It once started shutting down and rebooting by itself after 6 months of purchase but got ok by itself  so I didnt go get it checked ( assumed it was a one off something ). Too bad but it was a problem to be resolved. Now, 20 days back same thing switching on and off started happening automatically and now the computer is not starting at all. When i press the power button it tries to boot ( gives a small kick after 2 seconds of the button press ) but nothing really happens. Could someoone please guide me if there is something that cane be done ? Thanks a lot in advance.

  • How can I steam from my early 2011 15-inch Mac Book Pro to my 2007 Samsung TV?

    I have an early 2011, 15-inch Mac Book Pro Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34). It does not have an HDMI port. I have a Samsung TV I bought in 2007 (Model LN-4061F). How can I stream from laptop to my TV? My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I've read I can buy an adapter, but I'm not sure what to buy.
    -Does Apple make them?
    -Are knockoff adapters "safe" to use with my laptop, and are they reliable/have a good quality connection?
    -How much do they cost (I've seen cheap ones on Amazon)?
    -What kind should I buy?
    -Will my laptop stream in HD? 
    I'm new to the community, so hoping someone can advise me how to do this. We also have a Roku, but I'm looking to stream DVDs and directly from TV network websites. 
    Thanks for your help!

    You will have to use the  minidisplay port to connect to the TV.  Assuming that the TV has an HDMI port, you will need a cable such as this:

    With this, you eliminate the need for an adapter.

  • Mac Book Pro 5.4 HD to SSD upgrade?

    Hello all, I have a Mac Book Pro 5.4. I wish to upgrade to a SATA III SSD from the ATA and upgrade from 4 to 8 GB RAM. Anyone attempted this and had/see any conflicts? I researched pretty well and I don't see any yet. Maybe ATA to SATA?

    You may upgrade to 8 GBs of RAM:
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    However, you cannot use a SATA III 6.0 Gb/s drive. Your controller only supports SATA II 3.0 Gb/s drives. Your computer does not us ATA drives, only SATA drives. You will find excellent SSDs from OWC.

  • 2009 Mac Book Pro want to install an SSD drive to replace optical 250 drive. What is best way?

    My Mac Book Pro is getting very slow (2009) I want to replace 250 optical drive foe a 256 SSD Samsung850 pro drive. What is the best way to proceed. I am running Yosemite  now. Have the SSD drive formatted and a back up made of my old drive. Do I have to go back to Snow leopard and reload? Then update to present?
    Thanks

    That error can be as a result of a number of reasons, corrupt file system, incompatible software, malware. etc.
    I suggest that you connect the SDD via USB, boot into the recovery partition and install Yosemite onto the SSD.  (Make certain that it has been formatted.)
    Then test to see if it will boot the MBP (OPTION key down at start up and then select the SSD icon.)
    If it boots the MBP, swap the drives and then connect the original or your back up HDD to the MBP and then drag and drop your data to the internal SSD.
    This way if the HHD was corrupt, that issue then should be eliminated.
    Not as quick a procedure, but this seems to be the best alternative that I can come up with.
    Ciao.
