Hello,
      Please help, my wife need to upgrade her Macbook pro memory from 4GB to 8GB or 16GB.
   1. Can I buy 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 instead of 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3?
   2. Can I buy 1 of 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3, and put it in Single Bank/ slot?
   3. Can I mix 1 of 2GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 2 GB and 1 of 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3?
      My friend said that Apple support Maximum RAM on Macbook pro 13" is 8GB, but

Dear All
My two months old Mackbook pro 15" i7 2.2 early 2011 start showing battery health 96% instead of 100% earlier at 17 cycle with full charged,
The battery run for approx. 5 hours for a mid process with WIFI ON, and mid screen brightness .
Yesterday I did calibrate the battery and today after all night charging (12hs) it shown 97% only 18 cycle and 99% only charge. .
Is it normal ? how I can set it back to 100% again the charge level as well as the battery health.
Kindly advise.

yes it is normal. Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1909. Also, your battery does not need to be calibrated, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490

Macbook Pro (early 2011) memory upgrade options

What are my memory upgrade options with a Macbook Pro (early 2011, 2.2 GHx Intel Core i7), currently with 4 GB of memory (2 GB X 2) of 1333 MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600S)? My manual says I'm limited to 4 GB x 2 = 8 GB of memory. Does that mean that the 8 GB X 2 = 16 GB option that's available will not work in my Macbook Pro?

You can install 16GB (2 x 8GB modules) in a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2011 model.
Apple tested with only 8GB (2 x 4GB modules).

Macbook pro crashing during dynamic switching. early 2011

Hello.
I also have a Macbook Pro (Early 2011, i7, AMD 6750M) that keeps crashing to various screens (black, grey, sometimes restart) during dynamic switching to the discrete graphics card or while using the discrete graphics card.
I have read about several people in my situatuion and I also know that apple has released a statement regarding this issue with late 2010 models.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
The thing is that my computer is a early 2011 and seeing as its basically the same issue, i dont know if that also applies to me.
Alot of people blame the fault on the graphics cards depleating because of heat, and to be honest that makes sense to me. Ever since I have had the computer I have been forced to run fans on close to max rpm whenever the discrete card is in use.
A quick fix would be to run on the integraded card alone, but thats quite frankly not an option. I bought a Macbook Pro to edit images/video, Adobe design suite etc and neither of these things work at all as well as they should (or at all) on the integraded card.
I know that the whole logic board might need replacing, and I really dont want to fork over close to 1000 bucks to get it fixed.
Is there any hope?
Thanks

I have been everywhere to try to get this resolved. I have also been told I have to pay over £400 (GBP) for a logic board replacement that I have read fails within months far more times than I can recall. I emailed Tim Cook and I got a phone call from a very nice apple rep yesterday who's job is to call people like me and you, then try to sound friendly and understanding, but basically confirm there's nothing apple are prepared to do. I have bought more macs than I can remember, I have persuaded many friends and all my family to 'go mac'. Never again!! I couldn't be more disgusted with the brand I once loved with a passion.
The apple rep said this problem is 'just emerging' to apple . . . everyone who is on this thread should actually get the problem recorded with apple, so they can basically prove to themselves how massively they messed up with the 2011 macbooks, then probably do nothing. If you are reading this then email your repair case number and mac serial number to Tim Cook. I myself have decided to ensure all my friends in the media get word of this in the hope they can find a story in it. Its my ambition to get this story covered with the BBC before Christmas. The only way apple are going to consider a replacement program is if they are forced due to very honest publicity. As the size of this thread proves . . they couldn't care less about our very common issue, its time to make it an issue for apple!

Late 2011 Macbook Pro - worse graphics performance than early 2011?

As per Apple.com:
Apple's Late 2011 MBP 15" claim 2X graphics performance as per Apple's tests from the last Nvidia based MBPs.
Apple's Early 2011 MBP 15" claimed 3X graphics performance as per Apple's (seemingly identical) tests from the last Nvidia based MBPs.

Can anyone at Apple or otherwise comment on this?
Specifically, It seems the Half Life 2 test drop sfrom X3 to X2 on the Late 2011 model, even though it has the 6770 AMD card in it.
-Did Lion kill performance?
-Did Apple downclock the chips after reveiwers (anandtech??) found that while using discreet graphics battery performance dropped to roughly 2.5 hours?

It's likely the Half Life test is not compatible with Lion, nor is older 3D games.
If you want to use a test, use a more neutral test like Cinebench, GeekBench etc.
Or simply visit Barefeats and they will tell you

Netflix problems on macbook pro 13inch 2.3GHz i5 model (2011); what can i do to fix it?

does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do?

Thank you very much. It was driving me crazy. Netflix worked for a while. I think it was up until I had updated the firmware that things changed. I kind of feel very stupid that I hadn't thought of the plug-in. Thanks guys a lot

Want to upgrade RAM on 2011 Macbook pro 13 2.3GHz i5 4GB

Hello all,
First of all let me thanks you guys for the support you have been giving here.
I am new to the forum and this is my first post, I recently bought the new 2011 Macbook pro 13inch 2.3GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 with the 4GB RAM (4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2x2GB)
I want to upgrade from 4 GB to 8GB. I have researched this issue and found three suitable options, i need help deciding on which to buy. Any good brand or compatibility issues
I really appreciate your help guys. The links

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'd worry a little bit about Newegg's "Limited warranty."
OWC is fully warranted — no iffy "limited" on it.
You can use OWC's rebate form to turn in your current RAM and get $26 refunded if you buy the upgrade from them.
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/support/rebates/memory.cfm
This would bring the price down to $86.99, but no free shipping, and, presumably, it would cost you shipping to send the modules to them in order to collect the rebate, too.
I'd want to know the details of that "Limited" warranty if buying from Newegg.

I have an early 2011 macbook pro 13" running 10.6.8, if i upgrade to osx mavericks 10.9.1 will I still be able to run powerpc applications?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the last Mac OS X version that supports PowerPC applications, so if you upgrade to OS X Mavericks, you will lose the ability to use PowerPC applications.
I recommend you to look for upgrades to those apps, but if you cannot or any of your apps are not available for Intel-based Macs, a different option you have is to create a second partition and install OS X Mavericks there, so you can still use your old apps by starting up into Snow Leopard.

Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

My Macbook Pro Retina Display (13 inch, early 2015); has words imprinted on screen permanently? How do I fix this? OR can I get it replaced?

Hi,
I purchased a Macbook Pro 13 inch (retina display, early 2015); just over a month back. Already, I can see a few words have been permanently imprinted onto my LCD screen?
Any solutions?
- Is there a quick fix to it?
- Can I get my macbook pro replaced considering it's still under 1 year warranty?

Question 1-maybe so . What you have is called "screen burn in" and might be the result of having the same image left on a screen for a long period of time. See if running a screensaver or something else that has moving images will erase it, or lessen it *
Question 2- yes, if Apple deems that the problem is serious enough that the only way to fix it is to replace your Macbook Pro. otherwise, it will repair
* this is the word from Apple, I guess

good luck

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?

I realized I still had this as an open question, so I thought I would follow up. By calling around, I was able to locate a Macbook Pro that still had ILife 09, so I bought that.
But then I found out I could actually continue on with Ilife 08, but just wiping the new computer and reinstalling the first disc (system) but not the second one (ilife). So then when I used a Time Machine backup from my old computer to migrate to the new one, it simply continued on with O8. This made me even happier as I really was trying to avoid Faces in iPhoto 09.
Thank you for the input (I did read it back when you posted it; I just did not realize I needed to "close" the question.)
