Mac Book Pro 17 inch to 23 inch display blue screen freezes.

Can any one help me, my mac book pro 17 is freezing when I connect it to my 23 inch apple cinema display. It works perfectly on stand alone, but once I connect the 23 cinema it toggels back and forth from blue screen on both screens then freezes, then works fine for a couple of hours. I sleep the system then when it wakes it freezes. I have disconnect the display then reconnect, this is really annoying.

No, you can't upgrade the GPU on a MaBook Pro - it's soldered onto the logic board.
Sorry,

  • My mac book pro 15 inch won't stop freezing when I play StarCraft2

    Whenever I play SC2 it freezes very often, last summer when I played it wasn't like this. Sometimes I have one window open in Chrome and I bleive this may be this issue but that shouldn't cuase this. I also have always listened to the internet radio through itunes while playing. Here's what it just gave me in the problem report.

  • Mac Book Pro will turn on but stays at blue screen

    I was changing brushes in photoshop and working on a picture when my computer got very staticky and the brush did some very strange things. Then my computer froze. I had to turn it off by the power button. It came back on a few times but everytime I went to work on a picture it would get staticky again and freeze. By around the 4th time, the computer turns on but there is a pattern all over the screen, then it diappears and goes to a blue screen and won't let me do anything. Please help! I hsve been looking online for answers all night but not getting anywhere.

    Hi c, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Read about the NVIDIA issue to see if it fits your MBP. If it sounds like it, you'll need to go to an Apple Store or contact Apple to get your MBP tested and fixed for free if it turns out to be the NVIDIA issue.

  • I had brought the Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display in nov. 2013 in USA. I lost my luggage in the flight transit at Paris CDG. Now I can't install windows 8.1 which I brought from same store frys at LA, USA. Pl. help. Thanks gyanesh

    Dear friends
    I had brought this Mac book pro 15 inch retinal display and windows 8.1 and then I left to India my home place for vacation now my problem is during flight transit at Paris CDG. For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
    Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
    Thanks in advance.  Sb sob sob
    Pl. help. Thanks

    Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
    Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
    You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds.

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

    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

  • What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
    Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
    The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
    Hope this helps,
    AJ

  • Mac Book Pro 13 inch i5 vs 13 inch 17 to run Video Editing Soft wares . Which one to buy?

    Hello folks ,
    I am planing to buy Macbook pro and I am quite confused between mac book pro i5 and i7( 13 inch) . The difference between these two version are of 20,000 Indian rupee ( which means around 400 US$).
    The purpose for my purchase is mainly to use editing softwares ( Final Cut X , Adobe premier pro 6). Although these softwares can be run on both the version but I am just curious to know how much difference will make in a long run. Will there be major performance and speed issues ? Do, after a certain time, I need to upgrade to i7 and is it possible to upgrade a processor to i5 to i7 in mac ? I am bit tight on budget so I am considerng Macbook pro i5 version  is it REALLY neccessary to increase the budget anyhow and get i7 version for much better performance of editing sofwares? Please help. Thanks a lot in advance

    By the model with the fastest cpu you can afford with the standard ram and hard drive because those 2 things can be upgraded by the user. That is if you are looking at the standard mac notebooks and not the retina models.
    I agree with the above post that a 15" with discrete graphics would be a better choice for your needs.
    With whichever model you choose factor in the cost of the extended applecare warranty because to fix any mac computer once the warranty is over is very expensive. So much so that in some cases it would be more cost effective to just buy a new computer with newer technology then to fix one that is 1+ to 3 years old. With the applecare extended warranty you will get at least 3 years use out of it with no worries of a repair bill should anything go wrong.
    Note that no apple warranty covers any accidental damages. From dropping it to spilling water on it or general misuse or abusive treatment of the system.

  • Mac Book Pro 17-inch Mid-2010 memory compatibility

    I have a Mac Book Pro 17-inch, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8GB 1066 MHz DD3 RAM. The RAM consists of two 4GB modules. I was just wondering if I can upgrade the RAM by putting DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz SO-DIMM PC laptop memory module RAM. Will it work?

    Buying RAM off eBay is probally the worst thing you can do.
    Not only that, it's some off name brand RAM made for PC's, so it's likely to cause issues or fail in the Mac, which the seller might not respond for a exchange or refund.
    Inexpensive RAM is usually lower quality and more prone to not working but might so it's pawned off to third party resellers to appeal to the cheap crowd willing to work more to get their machines running.
    Opening up the MacBook Pro is delicate work with fine screws that need to go back into each exact hole they came out of. The more you have to open it, the more potential damage can occur that is not covered by AppleCare or warranty.
    If you want perfect RAM the first time, without having to keep trying over and over which costs you more money and headaches, buy the RAM directly from the manufactor here
    http://www.crucial.com/mac/
    When your looking at the RAM approved and tested to work for your machine, you can opt to spend more for the higher speed RAM however it will only work as fast as your BUS speed (aka: "Mhz") of the machine.
    Benefit of the faster RAM is it will max the bus speed, whereas the matched speed spec-ed RAM can be a bit slower than the bus speed.
    If your not into serious performance of the machine, then just opt for the most used spec-ed RAM speed.

  • Mac Book Pro 13 inch crashes !!

    Hello,
    My mac book pro 13 inch with no retina display crashed for no reason.
    It was working perfectly yesterday night, i woke up today and opened the laptop.
    The screen was white and stuck with the apple icon, I couldn't control the laptop so i pressed the power button to shutdown the laptop.
    I tried to open in it again but still i had the same problem, so i decided to take it to the store. they told me that the laptop needs to be formatted, i was shocked because by doing that ill be loosing all the documents and programs i have.
    I told them okay!!! format it, i can't do anything else besides erasing all the data, so i left the store and while were working on the laptop.
    2 hours ago the sales man called me and said, "noora we couldn't format the device there was an error, your hard disk is gone and you will need to repair it."
    I have no idea where to take my laptop, I was told that it will cost me approximately $300 to get an new one.
    please advice me whether to repair the hard disk or try to format it again.
    Thanks,

    Disconnect power adapter from the ac outlet and the computer, then reconnect it.
    Try SMC reset.

    my mac book pro 17 inch , 2008 year , display went dark after rebooting from origianl disc, and the steps in "everthing Mac" book did not work, any ideas?

    The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
    On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
    If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running. A little history will also help.
    "it beep"
    If it's 3 beeps that's usually a RAM problem.

    As Chris indicated, there is no way to track your MacBook without having set up the Find My Mac feature beforehand (and even if you did, it's quite easily defeated) or having some third-party tracking software installed. All you can do is file a report with the police and hope they get lucky. I can only hope that you made backups of your data and "researches", since I agree with Chris that your chances of ever getting the MacBook back are not good.
    You posted in the iTunes for Windows forum, by the way; just so you're aware for future questions.
    Regards.
