Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011) freezing time to time

Since yesterday my macbook has been encountering a strange error. Happened yesterday evening that the screen showed black and white style checkered rectangles and then it froze like that. I forced shutdown the laptop and then when I turned it on, it showed strange vertical stripes and it was not getting past the apple logo with rotating progress bar. I got frustated and left it like that, after 30 minutes it got correct and was booting as usual, but then again it froze after some nearly 10 minutes, after that it ran for nearly 2-3 hours ok. Today again it happened and it froze like same manner and was not booting up(same stripes, not getting past the apple logo), Now again after leaving for 30 minutes,it opens ok. What can be the problem?
When it does not boot up, I have tried all the SMC reset , safe boot, disk utility, etc. Nothing worked. I have tried repairing the hard disk permissions and disk itself, but no help.
The OS is 10.7.5.

- Looks like a hardware failure in the video card.
Make an appointment with the Genius bar, they have hardware testing equipment.

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.

I know how computers work.
Oh Sorry Thought you were asking for assistance in solving a problem with your computer

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 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.

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.

Macbook Pro 15 "(late 2011) failure of the graph?

I have a Macbook Pro 15 "late 2011. Anyway, yesterday suddenly working with photoshop choppy with many stripes screen mode interference stayed. Thing goes off and no longer gray top with window apple and can distinguish some weird lines in the background.'ve noticed that much heated and the fans spinning at maximum causing a lot of noise, but very exaggerated even going to burn and thought it is the graphics card. Des then ever Very few, I get to open the OS but asking him to do something that required a bit of thinking and resources are left hanging and computer exorbitantly warm after a while of being on, with fans the most.
I report and I've seen these Google Apple Macbooks Pro have had problems with this model, which came with the faulty graphics card and there are many cases like mine the net.
I've led the service and have told me it's the graphics card and ask me € 650 to change the motherboard and the graphics card is integrated into it.
Because there are some times reaching to open the operating system and some not? If the graphics card failure should never be opened or seen anything on the screen ...
Because if the graphics card fails the computer so hot? Something does not look clear or logical in this ...
I was very happy with the laptop and Apple products even recommending their products worldwide.But now I feel ripped off by Apple, very unhappy and never'll buy an Apple product and will recommend to anyone else. I think if a laptop goes with any defective part must be arranged at no cost by the consumer no longer has warranty though. If your products are of such quality that do you find such a product to market and not requite the damage? I thought Apple products were of high quality and durability ...
The question is how Apple leaves the market one produxto flaws and is not responsible?
I would like a response from the company
Actually, I'm very disappointed.

noice T greetings: Your comment suggests that you have had less than satisfactory results in dealing with the staff at the Genius Bar. I am disappointed to hear that. I on the other hand have found them to be good to excellent for the most part (yes I do recall a less than satisfactory Genius). I think ffmcollins' problem is better addressed at an Apple Store than at Best Buy.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro 17" (Late 2011) Graphics Card

Hello Community,
I've researched this community, and found some relevant posts to the following question. However, the answers I found weren't completely satisfying. So, I'm posting my own on the subject to help me and others.
I have the following:
• MacBook Pro 17" (Late 2011, MacBookPro8,3) 2.5 ghz Quad Core i7/512 SSD/8 GB RAM
• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1 GB VRAM and Intel HD 3000 Graphics
I know desktop models can be upgraded, but I can not afford the one I need at the moment. I am aware that many Apple laptop graphics cards can not be upgraded. Can this particular AMD Radeon graphics card be replaced and upgraded?
If it can be replaced and upgraded, any suggestions on the best graphics card available? AMD has some nice upgrades.
The card is nice, fast, and I'm not unhappy with it, but I run graphics and multimedia applications, and could benefit from the newer cards available.
I appreciate your input community.
Thanks,
Greg

About the only time you can upgrade a video card in a notebook is if that model notebook came with a better video card then what you ordered. At a later date if that better video card become available on the used market you could by one and replace the original as it was made to fit in the same model.
But it is almost impossible to buy one from the original manufacturer. Especial during the current production run of that model.
In your case the model you bought has the best video card available in the new line of MBPs. So there is no better card that would fit in your system. Whether the new models that will be coming out later this year will use a better video card and whether it would physical fit in your model is unknow.
But all of what I wrote above doesn't really matter as with all Macbook Pros the video card and CPU is Soldered to the logic board and can not be replaced. If either fails the complete logic board needs to be replaced.
The only things that can be easily replaced by the user in a Apple Macbook Pro is the RAM, hard drive and DVD drive.
All other parts Apple does not sell to the general public.
So your only option is if the newer models have a better video card is to sell your present system and buy the new model.

7. After this events (events 6). Command R, Command Option P+R, Command Option F+O, all other shortcut wont work?
Please help !!!!!!!,

I suggest that you boot the MBP OPTION+COMMAND+R. The display should show a revolving globe. This will connect you to the Apple servers and will allow you to install the original OSX. You will need a solid Internet connection.

My MacBook Pro 15" i7 2011 freezes suddenly minutes after starting up.

My MacBook Pro 15" i7 2011 freezes suddenly minutes after starting up the computer.
Sometimes it beeps after freezing, and keeps beeping forever until I shut down the computer by pressing the power button.
Other times the screen gets a little darker and a text appears saying I need to turn off the computer by pressing the power button and restart, but after restarting the computer freezes again. Each time I turn it on it takes only a few minutes to freeze it seams, about 2-3 minutes or less, and occasionaly it doesn´t even start up.
I don´t recall the exact version of the operating system, its MacOSX (10.6 or something)
Any sollutions?

Three beeps is usually indicative of a RAM problem. Take out one RAM chip and see what happens and then swap with the other one. See if there is a difference. Also engage the Apple hardware test and see if that offers any useful information.
Ciao.

I have a macbook pro 13' (late 2011) 2.8Ghz Intel i7 memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and have upgraded my OS X Lion to Mavericks. Everything has slowed down. How do I go back to the older OS X Lion? Or should I improve speed differently?

I have a macbook pro 13’ (late 2011) 2.8Ghz Intel i7 memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and have upgraded my OS X Lion to Mavericks 10.9.5. Everything has slowed down and the battery lasts a bit earlier. How do I go back to the older OS X Lion? Or should I improve speed differently? Would improving memory to 8GB help?

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

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 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?
Greets,
Kai

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,
Thorsten

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.
