Macbook Pro 13" late 2011 crashes when i plug out a "Focusrite Saffire 6 USB" while in sleeping mode.

Hi Forum,
I have a problem with my Macbook Pro crashing when i plug out my "Focusrite Saffire 6 USB" while it´s still in sleep mode.
I do have the latest drivers and updates so is there any way to fix that Problem ( besides not pluging it out while in sleep mode)?

MacBook Pro Unibody (late 2008) crash when using GeForce 9600M GT

Every time I do heavy 3D rendering or play 3D games (such World of Warcraft) with the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT, after few minutes my MacBook Pro (unibody, late 2008) freezes, black screen and audio looping, no actions possibile, only hard shutdown... No problems with the 9400M.
What should I do? Get a replacement?

I've had mine for a little less than two months and I noticed the overheating shortly after I got it. I think it's mostly because the fans don't spin up soon enough because the SMC controller on mine does not work properly and even if you reset it, it reverts back to only spinning the fans after a cpu/gpu temps over 90 degrees Celsius (almost boiling point!).
Mine is currently in for service but I'm being told that they haven't been able to duplicate the issue so I don't understand what method of testing they are using. I hope they don't keep my computer in repair for a long time. I know that if I fire up the Black & White 2 Demo, Call of Duty 4, or Spore and play for about 10-20 minutes the computer crashes if the fans don't spin up... Apple released a firmware update for the SMC controller but it doesn't apply to my model which is a MacBookPro 5,1 , maybe Apple doesn't realize yet how widespread the fan problem even on the late 2008 model is but it needs to be resolved and a third party utility to control the fans should not be necessary on the finest laptops available on the market. I'm confident that they will come up with something...

Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 slow when charging power

Anyone had this issue?
My Macbook Pro is a 13" late 2011, I5 and when i'm using it connected to the power it is much slower then when i'm using on batteries, even if the battery is fully charged.
I already tried to reset SMC, PRAM etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Thiago

I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
Here is a link.

Other things to check:
Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?

and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.

Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

Is it okay my Macbook Pro 13" (late 2011) is on 80° to about 92 when playing games and stuff like that?

Well, I just thought when I bought a computer to 1200$, i would be able to run atleast games which do not requirer that much GPU power. I only play games like Counter strike: Global Offensive, Counter strike: Source and league of legends.

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 Problems with iMac 27" Late 2009 TDM

Hi,
I just got problems with my iMac 27" Late 2009 (Mini-DisplayPort) and my MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 (Thunderbolt).
When I try to use my iMac as external monitor for my MacBook, there are massive glitches and graphical bugs on my second screen.
I bought a MDP-to-MDP wire from Belkin which works perfect on other computers.
I tried these things:
- Disconnected MagSafe from MacBook + unplugged all USB devices + switched graphics to discrete.
- Shut down all computers ... then booted MBP, iMac and triggered CMD+F2
- SMC, PRAM reset on both devices
The cable works, because:
17" MacBook Pro Late 2011 works perfectly on my iMac screen with my Belkin wire!
I connected my MacBook Pro 15" to a 27" Cinema Display and it works flawless.
After that I plugged it out and tested it again with my iMac screen -> suddenly it works.
Retriggering CMD+F2 or replugging breaks it again with massive bugs.
The MacBook Pro 17" is on 10.7.2, 15" is on 10.7.3, but I also tried to trigger dual screen in 10.7.0 setup with the same issue.
Maybe its a problem with the internal 6750M of my MacBook Pro 15"?
The 6770M of the 17" is working well.
Sample Video:

All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
Any solutions?

How long to boot MacBook pro 13" late 2011?

It takes 1 minute 30 seconds to startup my macbook pro 13" late 2011 (2.4ghz i5 processor, 4GB RAM)
This seems like a long time? I have Microsoft Office and Photoshop installed, will this slow it down?
Thanks!

if you have a normal hard drive installed - it usually takes a minute to desktop when you power up.
check your login items to see what's loading when you first power up your Macbook.
you can also go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found then restart your Macbook.
see if that helps your booting time.
good luck

Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) Bottom Plate Bulging

Hello there,
I own a Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). I have had it for sometime now.
I noticed that the bottom plate (the piece of aluminum that can be removed) is slightly loose in the front. There is a slight retreat when I press down on it. This is not happening to my newer Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro.
I heard that this can be caused by a swelling battery?! My battery has around 350 cycles on it.
Should I be concerned? Is it necessary to take it to an Apple Store and have them take a look at it??
Thanks for your answers in advance.

That could be the case. It wouldn't hurt to have them evaluate it at an Apple Store as the appointment is free.

Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 hard drive fails, how to replace hard drive?

Hi!
I have a Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 (OS X Mountain Lion v 1.3.18 (352.4). I tried to install OS X Mavericks but it showed this error message:
"This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors. This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up as soon much data as possible and replace the disk."
The laptop was still doing fine so I didn't do anything. Then it started to act funny: iPhoto stopped working, hangs when I watch video streaming, and it started to run really slow. I only use the laptop's basic features- internet, watching movies, editing using iMovies so it's really strange for me that the hard drive failed all of a sudden.
I called Apple support and a kind fellow tried to troubleshoot it, thinking it was only a software problem. In the end, he said I need to bring my macbook to the service center and have the hard drive replaced. I know it will cost a lot so I want to replace the it myself.
Here are my questions:
1) Can this problem really be solved by just replacing the hard drive?
2) Can I use SSD this time so my Macbook can run faster?
3) What SSD is recommended for my late 2011 Macbook 13"?
4) I don't have the installation disk, can I still install the OS X Mountain Lion? How?
I am looking for other sites as well but I hope this community could share some tips too.
Thanks a lot!

I've switched out the hard drive on my Late 2011 model several times and I've never disconnected the battery cable.
In my "Opinion" it is not necessary to do that. Not sure if it is or not recommended by Apple.
EDIT:
I just looked at my User Manual, PDF I downloaded from Apple, and there is no mention of disconnecting the battery.
Here's a link to the manual for my model.

MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011, 16GB RAM and Apple Premium Service Center

Hello all,
My dad has a MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011, it came with a 4GB RAM. When he got Parallels and installed Windows 8, 4GB RAM were not enough to even deal with Safari so he had to buy 16GB RAM from Cruical. Today when he went to Apple Premium Service Center here in Qatar (51 East) they refused to install the x2 8GB RAM and only installed one of them. They kept warning my dad that installing the whole 16GB can cause issues with the MacBook Pro HDD and can make it go faulty. I wanted to ask if installing RAMs can pose the HDD life to any danger. Because my dad uses his Mac for work and wouldn't like to lose any of his files against small additional speed.
Thanks.

its very easy to do, here are step by step instructions with photos

MacBook Pro 13'' late 2011 battery health problem!!! HELP!!!

I have a MacBook Pro 13'' late 2011.
It's this normal? How do I increase my battery health?
Can I change my battery?

When did you buy it?
Do you run it down to near zero % before recharging? Which is a bad thing to do.
Do you charge it to 100% before you take it off the charger?
Do you always disconnect the charger once it reaches 100% even if you are right next to an AC outlet. Which is a bad idea.
Batteries only last so long. Over use it and it will go bad sooner.

Macbook pro 13" late 2011 stuck up at apple logo and spinning wheel, changed HDD problem still exists

thanks

Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility and checking to see if the HD needs repairs?
Restart holding Command + r and at the recovery screen select Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk'. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. More info here about the Recovery HD:

Notification center stops working on Macbook pro 17 late 2011

I had several problems with Mountain Lion on Macbook pro 17 late 2011 model.
#1 Notification center stopped updating
#2 Worst battery backup had dropped significantly , it appears that the laptop needs to be plugged in to the socket at all time. Current backup is around 2 hours.
Anyone else got similar issues ?

85w apple charger stops charging the Mac
I think your assumption that when the amber light goes out, the magsafe is malfunctioning is not correct.
Some users have observed that if you push your Big MacBook Pro as hard as you can, it needs all the power from the power adapter (and possibly more from the battery) just to keep running. Thus, the charge indicator on the magsafe will go off Amber. This is weird, but is not a malfunction.

Transcend 1TB SSD in MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011)

Hey Guys,
I just bought a Transcend SSD 1TB for my MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2011) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
I got it for a good price but now I'm unsure if I could use it.
The SSD i bought is the TS1TSSD370. For more Info click HERE.
My questions are:
1. Is the SSD I bought compatible with my MacBook?
2. Is it a good SSD to use with a MacBook?
3. Can I use a 1TB SSD? Because on the Apple Specs Site for my MacBook Model it's doesn't say anything about a 1TB SSD.
4. Do I have to consider anything special when using this SSD?
It would be really great if someone could help me out!
Thanks in advance!
Max

I use the Carbon Copy Cloner method as outlined by BobRz above.
I'll be installing another SSD (higher capacity) whenever it gets here (Dec 3-Jan. 03) and I'll install the new SSD in my MacBook Pro first and then using my old SSD in an enclosure to transfer data.
I've had my current internal SSD in my Mac since April of 2012 and my 16GB of RAM since about May of 2012. I've a Crucial SSD (soon, two!) and use Crucial RAM, too.
You may want to take a peek at my user tip - Ugrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive. It's a bit dated (I'll be udating it pretty soon) but should give you a good start. Currently, I'm recommending Samsung 840 Pros (NOT EVO) and the Crucial M500 series.
Good luck,
Clinton
