MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Internal Speakers Issue

Every time I use my internal speakers (especially on high voice), my speakers' strength seems to lessen after few seconds of sound. But after about 30 minutes or so, the speakers are back to normal, but the same conflict repeats again after using the speakers again.

You may try a PRAM reset.  If that does not resolve the issue, make an appointment at the Apple store Genius bar.

  • MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 - Internal Microphone Not Working

    Hey everyone, I've been having trouble with my internal microphone on my 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro every so often. In the Sound preferences, Internal Microphone (Built-in) has been selected on the Input tab, the input volume is on full and the audio port has been set to Sound Output so the internal mic is the only input source. However, there is no signal detected by the input level bar. There's also no input on Skype, which is the main thing I use the internal mic for. I do have an external microphone by means of a headset, although I have to set up a small mixer to have a headphone and microphone input and this takes some time, which I do use but sometimes, for convenience, I'd rather just be able to use the internal mic and use some headphones in the built-in output.
    I can't figure out why it doesn't seem to activate, usually a restart activates the mic but I haven't had much success doing this today, and really, the mic shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
    If anyone can shed some light onto this, please do!
    Thanks in advance,
    LiamWatson28.

  • 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:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_pgc52syes
    All updates/firmware updates of iMac and MacBook Pro are installed.
    Any solutions?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Wi-fi problems  in me new macbook pro 13 late 2011

    hallo aim having problems with the wi-fi in me new macbook pro 13 late 2011, it seams to always be log on and off and i can't get a stabled connections other divides in the house work fine with the wifi(pc etc..)

    If the MBP was purchased within the last year take it to the Apple store
    or contact Apple. There are few threads in this site dealing with the same issue.
    There is no single sure shot step to correct this problem.
    May be you can go through those discussions and find a solution.

  • 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

  • I have a macbook pro md318 late 2011 i want to know can i change hard drive from 500GB to 2TB????

    i have a macbook pro md318 late 2011 i want to know can i change hard drive from 500GB to 2TB????

    Tbh,  I really wouldn't bother.
    I may get shot down here, but I like having storage centralised, backed up etc, so I would use the internal storage for the day to day stuff, and anything more dated, and large, then dump it on an external, with backup.
    I've heard some horror stories about larger capacity drives getting over hot, and failing in some machines. Not macs particularly though.

  • Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011 - Running Extremely Slow

    I've only had my Macbook Pro for about 9 months. Lately it's been running EXTREMELY slow, and freezing up at some times. I have a RAM monitor, and it will sometimes drop below 192MB! I have 4GB installed, and I only run a few light-weight applications, No Final Cut, or Photosop. On a typical day I'll have the following open at once: Safari, Spotify, Minecraft, Mail, Messages
    Nothing 4GB can't handle right? I guess not. I don't download from untrusted websites, so I doubt it's a virus. I honestly have no clue. I don't have the Apple Care, and I'm not sure if this is covered in the 1yr limited warranty that is included with the computer. Hopefully someone can help me resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Caleb.

  • What is the max memory allowed on a macbook pro 15" (late 2011), and what speed is the max speed allowed?

    Hello,
    I own a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) and I would like to upgrade the memory. I want to go with two 8gb sticks but if the motherboard only supports 8gb then I will have to stick with 8gb. Also, the ram that I have in currently, which is the 4gb that came with the mac, is 1333 Mz. Would I be able to upgrade to 1600 Mz on this laptop?

    Max is 16 GBs. Do not attempt to use memory with specs that differ from those required by your hardware.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

  • Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011) - High Definition Audio Device - Code 10

    Hi, i installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via Boot Camp on my new Macbook Pro 13" (Late 2011). Driver Disk was installed, but the "High Definition Audio Device" couldn't be started. Status is Code 10. Normal Cirrus Logic Audio is working. Any advice, how this could be fixed? Would be nice, to have audio over the Mini-Displayport HDMI Adapter on Windows as well (Works perfectly with Lion).
    Thanks,

  • 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.
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301
    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.

  • Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 vs Macbook Pro 13 2012

    Hey
    I have a Macbook Pro 17 Late 2011 model, its works like charm but my onyl problem with it , its too big for me , i travel a lot and its not really good for portability. I use this mac mainly for coding and developing and playing WoW (in BootCamp) but i play nothing else. So my friend said he is willing to buy from me and i decide to get a new macbook pro but the 13" for portability and its also fair enough for coding but im afraid thats its not enough for playing WoW. My friend pay me 1800€ and i found a brand new Macbook Pro for 1050€ + 300€ (for 256gb ssd and 16gb ram) so its gonna be a fast machine but maybe still not enough for WoW. What should i do?

    The 17" model is one of the last that supports Express/34.
    Thunderbolt does offer more expansion options, but at additional cost.
    Make sure the 13" model you get has built-in optical drive unless you don't use it.
    Make sure any games you develop for support the graphics card of the machine you end up getting.  If they don't, don't expect them to magically work on your machine.
    I typically have found the recommended graphics card is the only one that works.  Minimum graphics card may at random not work, unless you do no multitasking with many games.

  • 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
