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.

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.

Mac Book Pro i7 late 2011 Running Slow after installing Mountain Lion

Hi All,
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues, since I have updated to Mountain Lion last week my mac is now running alot slower than before on startup, closing down and when opening and shutting programs / apps.
Would it pay me to upgrade to 8GB ram?
Thanks

New mac book pro 15" late 2011 and logic pro user 9.1.7 losing sound in logic on reboot and start up any help please ?

keep losing sound when reopening logic would like to now if this is a lion related problem or logic , setting do not change.
All ways" save as" and name project and regularly "save".
this is really getting on my nerves i've swop to mac on advice it's a far more stable platform for audio, daw's and music.
I tend to use my computers in short 20 to 30 min sessions several times a day.
i had to revert to my windows computer because as well as learning logic pro and trying to figure out a new operating system it seems apple have adopted microsoft's approach, putting out a operating system and getting the hobbie techs to tell them whats wrong, this is like buying a car or house that you haft to finish building or wait for the contractors to come back to you, in there own sweettime.
not impressed.

I have check hardware and everything seems to be ok.
How? Did you run the AHT from system DVD #1?
after that first restart i get a blue screen.
You updated to OS 10.6.8 and everything else that needs updating?
If you did not repair permissions and restarted your installations, do the following:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
==========
How large is your HD & how much space do you have left?

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

I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...

I need a link to buy online battery for Mac Book Pro 15" late 2008. Can't find this battery in the Apple Store...Battery: Model No. A1281 10.8 V 50 Wh.

The only place that you can get an Apple battery is from Apple. All of the counterfeiter's will claim that they have an OEM battery for the simple reason so that they can fool you in purchasing from them.
At least from OWC you know exactly what you will be purchasing and they have a one year warranty. I have purchased two from them, one for my 2006 MBP and one for my 2010 MBP.
Ciao.

HT4436 I sent an email using my mac book pro and later on I return the mac to the store for good. Can I still retreive the email I just sent, how? please help!

Connect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
Ciao.

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.

Why do USB drives plugged into USB hubs make my Mac Book Pro (Retina late 2013) wake from sleep?

I have 2 x USB hubs, a Logitech USB 2.0 hub and a Broway USB 3.0 hub. Tested both and both seem to be the cause of my late 2013 Mac Book Pro waking from sleep. I ran syslog to find out why (syslog |grep -i "Wake reason") and the reason I got back was "kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: XHC1" - this means nothing to me, but it didn't take too much mucking about to hunt the problem down and figure out it was the USB hub with any USB drive attached. If the drive is attached directly to the computer. No problem, computer sleeps fine.
This was a problem I encountered (and never solved) with OSX 10.6.8, a 2008 Macbook Pro the same Logitech USB 2.0 hub, but with different drives. I put the problem down to a bug that never got solved in an old system. But I am simply AMAZED after my update to a new MBP and new system that it is still about almost 6 years, a dozen MBP's and 4 systems later.
The other problem is that not only does the USB drive/ USB hub combo wake the computer it also loses the drive upon sleep and mounts it again upon wake. Then repeats this process every couple of minutes. And it obviously doesn't eject the drives properly because each time I return to the computer after I put it to sleep or let it go to sleep I get a giant list of "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notifications about it. Which I'm guessing could eventually cause some file damage.
I've tried combinations of different drives, different hubs (a Belkin and a no-name Chinese brand 2.0 hub) and the problem persists. Is there a solve to this problem? I'm surprised to see so little posts on forums about this. Am I just unlucky and got another combination of faulty/problematic hardware, or is this a real problem that exists for everyone? If not I would love to know if people have found winning combos of USB hubs and drives. But if it is, then it HAS to be solved.
If you have a Macbook Pro, then you are limited to 2 USB outlets, this is obviously a bare minimum and I would say that 95% of people using their laptop computer in the office or at home have a hub, and very likely a USB drive attached to it. I know actual Apple reps don't really pay much attention to the community support posts, but I've got 6 months worth of Applecare left and would like suggestions about how to get Apple's attention about this problem.
BTW Jettison (a 3rd party app that ejects drives properly before sleep) is not a solve. It is a 3rd party app that tries to fill a hole in a broken system. I don't want to eject my drive upon sleep, I want it to got the **** to sleep.

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

Mein Cinema LED 24 " wird nach Anschluss an Mac Book pro 15" Baujahr 2011, 11 kurzzeitig schwarz und zittert kurz .

Cinema LED 24" Alter Anfang 2011 . Mac Book pro 15 " Intel i 7 , 8 GB Arbeitsspeicher , 750 GB Festplatte.
Habe den Cinema bislang nicht angeschlossen gehabt, da mir der nötige Stellplatz gefehlt hat .
Nach Anschluss des Monitors beginnt das Cinema Display zu flackern, geht immer wieder kurz aus, d.h. wird schwarz. Nach einiger Zeit ganz schwarz. Lästt sich erst wieder einschalten durch Ziehen des Minidisplaysteckers. Mach ich was falsch beim anschliessen oder ist der Monitor defekt?

Hi all - troubles sons mac book pro (bought Dec 2011). When he turn it on - get folder with ? I assume can't find start-up items. trouble is - he can't get disk to go in

HI all
Pardon me for the stupid title - -been some time since on the forum
This is much better.
So the situation on son's Mac Book Pro.
It seems a few days ago the computer would not take a CD - -not huge deal
Then suddenly he had trouble.
Turned on computer and get the folder with the ?     I am pretty certain this means it
can't find the start-up items.
I guess he tried to do some "diagnostics on the internet - it was a Hardware diag.
and said everything was OK but couldn't find a HD
So he bought a new HD and we just installed it. Start tje computer and the same question in folder.
He bought the HD from apple so not an aftermarket.
I guess he is not sure where is start-up disks our (kids)   but what can we do now?
He is at our house now and can't seem to connect to the internet becuase he can't see my network
which is wireless.
Is there something we can try - -should we re-install the old HD - -the new one may not be formatted
not sure all we know is it was from Apple direct.
He just told me the OLD hard drive could be read by a device at school. So it seems perhpas the HD MAY? be
OK but there is some sort of communication thing going on.
In the old dayson my G-3 slot - -we would start up with a network
Not sure how do do any of that on this book
PLease help - - very important (he is a grad student and needs the computer that is why he paid for
on day shipping
What do we do? Any tips tricks?\ please offer any ideas - -dad is stuck - -Thanks
Jim

Hello Grant - -Thanks - -
I notice you are west of Boston - -we in Medford and son goes to Tufts in town
(small world)
Not really certain what you are telling us - - I am not good at computers
A couple of other things that may be tips - -
1 - on wednesday of this week
our son noticed the fan was going on almost continuosly,
After that trouble started - -
2. - When we put the new HD in - -same things happened,
which is ? mark in folder (start-up items)
3. - His computer will not see my wireless even if I put it next to my I-mac
It sees several networks but not mine - -and if we type in my netwokr
info - -it will not take.   He wanted to try a network start-up .
I forget how that is done.
4, - The bottom of the computer is getting hot - -much hotter than i think it should.
any ideas why his computer won't see my router?
I think he may just have to take it to Apple Store on Newbury Street.
Would they be able to get his info off the old HD assuming it is still good and
transfer to the new HD fairly easy.
LAstly - - I am pretty certain I have the str-up disks for my I-mac which is running
10.5.8.
Would I be able to do anything with my computer and hook into his computer
into mine like an external device or something like that
I really appreciate your thoughts and efforts on this and must admit I have no
external enclosrure? but I have an external HD on my I-mac
As you can tell - -I am not to good at this
Thanks from Meffa    (lol0   Jim the father
