MacBook Pro 2011 AirPort Driver Issue Causes Grey Screen of Death

Hello, I'd like to report a problem with the AirPort driver. It appears that if you connect to an AdHoc source for internet connection, the computer after a few minutes will crash with a Grey Screen of Death. Upon reboot it says a serious error has occurred with a stack trace pointing back to the AirPort driver. I have all the latest patches installed as well. I thought this was a problem with my laptop so I exchanged it for another with and it exhibited the same problem.

Do you know if he submitted an error report after the crash? I got prompted but I didn't get a chance to because I wasn't in a WiFi zone and after reformatting the machine, I don't want to get another GSOD so I haven't connected to Ad-Hoc so I hope someone else was able to successfully report it.

Macbook Pro late 2008 with Mavericks gets Grey screen of death.

Hey guys..
When Mavericks was released, I updated my old Macbook Pro (late 2008) 2.8ghz on work, and since then I have had a couple of Grey Screen of Deaths.
I had none of those before Mavericks, so I guess thats the source of the problem.
I've been trying to figure out what might cause it, from the crash log below, but I can't seem to figure anything from it, so I was hoping you guys could help me?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a kernel panic, caused by some PowerManagement from kernel_task. But how do one fix that?

Ive tried the recovery : No automatic reboot But same screen : ( grey , stuck stopped spinning wheel)   some how it enters Disk Utility because I can trigger the voice that ask for the language etc. (I left it there overnight without result ) I dont see DU on screen ( tried second monitor : No luck )
Did a hardware test : No issues
Did single user logon :   fsck   : No problems with the drive ( after 2 runs ) ( 1st runs : changes were made )
Did Logon Verbose status : Initial messages : shutdown reasons : code 128 ...   now followed by code 3
Tried to reinstall the original OSX ( 2008 )   No luck : grey screen changes to darker screen coming in from the top asking to reboot the system .
1st real bad signal was : When donwloading Maverick ( again ) to create a bootable USB the screen started flickering ( this started when pressing the download button ??? - I had to reboot the mac to stop
2 days later :
Last Live activity with this mac was : Trying to create maverick Bootable USB using diskmaker X )   During this activty the mac died on me .
I have a full time machine backup : so no worries about data...I hope )
This mac is one of the lucky ones with the bad NVDIA 8600m gt cards ... after upgrarding in march 2013 to Lion ..it crashed on me with the black screen of death ...Since apple stopped the guarantee I baked it in the oven at 200 c for 7 minutes . For the last months it was working Fine .   ( Hardware check shows no issues - and upon reboot it chimes happy ..)
What could be my next options ? ( Obvious buying a new one ... This is allready launched as an idea .   I need more creative thoughts :-)

How to reformat a Macbook pro 2011 hard drive?

Hello,
How do you reformat a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.3) 2011s Hard drive? I already backed up all the files I wanted to save. But since I have the new Macbook pro 2011 (only a few months since I got it) it didn't come with an installation disc, but instead already came with all the applications. I'm wondering how to reformat the hard drive so it wipes out everything and I can start fresh and what would happen to all the applications?

Well Lion has a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can access by holding command r and booting, there you can erase the Lion OS X partition completely (all files and programs) and reinstall Lion or simply reinstall Lion if there is a issue with it (no programs or files are touched in this second procedure)
Lion is downloaded from apple's servers, you need AppleID and a fast reliable internet connection with no bandwidth caps limiting you.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you want to replace the drive, there is software called Carbon Copy Cloner than can clone both the Lion OS X Partition and the Lion Recovery Partition to a external drive intact (excpet what's in the Trash, no Filevualt, no bootcamp, use free Winclone for that)
Hold the option key and you can boot from the external drive and format and clone everything to the new internal drive. TimeMachine of 10.7.2 and later can be booted from it's Lion Recovery Parttion as well just to restore only, cloning is better process because it gives full access to everything like before on the internal drive.
http://www.bombich.com/index.html
Some newer Mac's have Lion Internet recovery built in where the firmware will install the Lion Recovery/OS back onto a completely blank/new hard drive.

MacBook Pro 2011 - 15" Core i7 - SSD - Heating, Screen Flickering Issues

Hello,
I recently brought MacBook Pro 2011 15" Anti-glare High Resolution with Core i7 2.2 G Hz, SSD, 8GB of RAM. I installed Microsoft Office and Angry Birds at this time. I'm facing multiple issues with my first Mac. Is anyone facing these kinds of issues in new MacBook Pro 15" models?
Issue 1: Heating: Fan running on high speed even though room temp is below 60F. No major applications are running at that time expect Office 2011 and web surfing (NOT watching any video) and listening iTunes.
Issue 2: When I log-off from computer, the screen flickers and goes to lower resolution. Also the windows colors changed to different colors. After log-in, I went to System Preferences > Displays. The highest resolution is already selected (1680 x 1050) When I try to change to lower, it changes but still displays different window colors and changing suddenly.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1.) Shutdown and Disconnected Power Cable (at that time battery is at 65%)
2.) Reconnected Power Cable and Power On the system
3.) Display shows correctly.
Unable to Resolve:
1.) Still fan is running on higher speed at low temp (below 60F with no major application running)
2.) Sometimes Display is not showing properly. It shows different color shades.
I scheduled support call with Apple Support and let's see what Apple can do...

I brought my first MacBook Pro 2011 on Day 1, so I can't return it since it won't come under 14 day return policy. I'm taking my Mac to Apple Store to fix all these issues. AppleInsider is also confirmed Disaplay Flicker issue on some of the models that they tested.

Macbook Pro 2011 Internal Speakers Issue

I just discovered an issue with the internal speakers of my Macbook Pro 2011.
The balance of the left and right speaker is off.
When I move the balance slider all the way to the right only the right speaker is active (as it should be). When I move the balance slider all the way to the left, the left speaker is active, BUT also the right (not as loud as the left one though).
When the slider is set to the middle the right speaker is definitely louder than the left one.
Do you have the same problem?
(2 members from other forums have confirmed this problem)

Ok....I just found this here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3336
Quote:
+"You may notice that when you move the Balance slider in the Sound preferences pane far to the left speaker that you can still hear sound from the right side of the MacBook Pro.+
+This sound is actually generated by the sub-woofer, but because of its placement, the audio from the subwoofer seems to be coming from the right side speaker. Due to the placement+
+of the subwoofer it is normal for the sound stage to seem shifted slightly towards the right speaker. If you prefer, you can adjust the balance control to shift the sound stage to the left or right side."+
So there's no need for a PRAM reset then I guess...

My MacBook Pro does not pass the startup grey screen. When I try to do a reinstall the computer doesn't even read the disk. I can't even boot in safe mode. I'm being told that it MAY be a motherboard issue, I'm just wondering has anyone else had this prob

I don't know what is wrong with my Mac. An authorized retailer can't pinpoint the issue.. Does Apple have a recall for motherboard failures? We have only had it for 2 years.

MimiBrooks,
try booting your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the grey startup screen now?

Macbook pro 2011 disc drive won't read cds stays in for a little then pops it back out?

My macbook pro will leave the cd or dvd in for like 30 seconds than pop it back out. HELP NEEDED ASAP!

Just in case anyone finds their way back to this thread - if the above problem is happening to you (as it was to me) take a lens cleaning wipe, wrap it around a credit card and place it in the dvd/cd slot lifting the card to exert gentle downward pressure inside the computer onto the disc drive's lens. Move the card about gently to clean the lens.
This has always fixed the above problem for me, it is caused by dust on the lens.
You do it at your own risk, I'm only telling you what works for me.

MacBook Pro 2011 Flash Stutter Issue

This is a very specific problem that flares periodically, but consistently enough so that it's very noticeable and bothersome.
When watching flash, the audio occasionally struggles for a mere half a second, creating a distinctive pop or clicking noise. It's very, very quick. The video also will pause on occasion, though much more rarely. These two issues are sometimes, but not always, mutually exclusive.
I have no idea what could be causing this issue as I've had the computer for less than two weeks. On a side note, my VLC has also struggled on occasion, with the audio stuttering and the video artifacting like it never did on my 1.6 GHz 1 GB RAM Toshiba.
I'm not sure if these issues are all related. I can say that I got a similar popping in Ableton when playing four notes at once, if that helps with anything.
Finally, when flipping up and down web pages with the two-finger gesture, the scrolling visibly slows as if the entire frame rate drops as I roll over Flash content. This does not always happen, and I've noticed the problem on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (including Firefox 4, the RC). I only mention it because it seems to me like something isn't doing what it needs to in terms of audio and video, especially when it comes to Flash.

I am having this exact issue, it seems to get worse with every minute constantly running a flash application, and the skipping or stuttering is not isolated to the flash program itself, it makes the entire computer stutter.
As I type this I have a flash game running in a different tab. As the sound from that game stutters, the letters I am typing also lag, and the music in my itunes skips as well.
This problem is absolutely maddening and unacceptable IMO. I wish Apple would just buy Adobe and get it over with so they could streamline Flash and their products.

Macbook pro 2011 - severe overheating issues

I just recently received my 2011 15" 2.2 GHz Macbook Pro from Apple. (It came via FedEx Monday morning.)
I noticed right away how quickly it heats up and how often the fans kick in; even when simply browsing the web using Safari. I began using it for Music Production, which is the purpose I intended to buy it for in the first place, using programs such as Logic Studio, Abelton Live, and even GarageBand, and notice that it became hot to the touch within 10 to 15 minutes. The entire aluminum enclosure heats up; especially on the bottom: so hot that I could feel the heat against the desk in which I have it sitting on. It also heats up around the speakers, power button, certain places on the keyboard, and the trackpad. It shut off twice within one hour after reaching what I can only assume were very high temperatures, temperatures most likely unsafe for this machine. Right before it shut off the last time I noticed that something smelt like it was very hot, almost burning, you know that smell?
My question is, since I do not have the AppleCare (not as of right now, that is. I definitely plan to by the end of the day,) but it is a completely new Macbook Pro, can I take it to Apple to have them at least take a look at it without it costing me anything (at least up front)?

Not to interrupt the great advise given so far, but I cannot resist...
Here are my thoughts:
The machine is broke with hardware issues.
It is new the machine is designed to shut itself off if temp reach dangerous damaging temps.
This has happened, what 3 times at least.
SMC/PRAM reset is likely not going to fix this problem and a fresh install, well, em' probably not. I would be surprised. Only because your machine keeps shutting itself off. Not sure if the other poster had their machine shutting down on them or just a temp heat problem.
Here is my suggestion when you take it to the genius bar.
1. be patient and let them check it out.
2. If they want to do a reinstall let them, but make sure you have your data backed up before you go.
3. If you do a clean install at the Genius bar, DO NOT leave the store with out testing it thoroughly.
4. You have 14 days after purchase to return any Mac.
5. If you are with in this 14 days, Do Not let them convince you to send the machine in for repair. Do an exchange or return.

Macbook Pro Reformat Hard drive issues

Hard drive crashed a few months back in my MBP. My optical drive doesn't work and I have Snow Leopard install disks. I went to Best Buy, bought a 1TB Seagate SATA SSD+HDD hybrid drive to replace the 250 GB one I had. I'm trying to get the stupid thing to format buy I'm not having any luck. Here's what I've tried:
1. Was able to boot up through disk utility and tried to install OS Mavericks wirelessly but when I login to my apple account to verify, and click install I get a quick message stating there was a problem and to try again. It never works
2. Bought a external optical drive and tried to install Snow Lepoard but when I turn it on that way it tries to load and then goes to a gray screen tell me that my computer needs to restart. I restart it and it does the same thing.
3. Went to the Mac Store to ask some questions. . .told them I had an iMac and bought a firewire cable. I've tried to install Snow Lepoard via firewire cable but the instructions that I find just plain don't work. I run Lion on my iMac and I can get my computer to recognize my MBP but choosing that and formatting it with the drive on my iMac isn't working either.
I'm about to use the stupid MBP as a frisbee out my back patio. Please help!

My Macbook Pro is a mid-2010 model.

Macbook Pro / Toshiba External Drive issue

I have been using a Toshiba External HDD drive for about a year. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago when I attempt to connect my drive to my Macbook Pro ((10.5.8), I'm getting the following "The device you are trying to connect is drawing too much power therefore the USB connection will be be disabled". Therefore I can't access stored info: iTunes, documents etc. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Again, it's has been working great for the past year.
Thanks
WillieVee

To add to Kay's comments I have a little Toshiba drive that just did this. I started using a hub and the drive worked for a few more days and then died completely and I returned it under warranty.
Once you get it working I would highly suggest making sure everything on the disk is backed up to another disk and I wouldn't use it for anything important.

New Macbook Pro 2011 MAJOR battery issues

I just bought a refurbished Macbook Pro, it was built on a couple of months ago so it is pretty much brand new.
17 inch.
I'm having some battery issues. Yesterday I noticed that my charger (l-shaped) wouldn't light up -
it also wouldn't charge. After some fiddling around the light came on but in my menubar it read - "Not Charging".
Eventually I reset my smc or whatever it's called and now it is charging -
but now,
1) it won't charge to 100.
2) at 97 percent it shows 7 hours 26 minutes left and then BAM!
it goes right down to about 3 and a half hours. And I'm not running anything but the internet.
What the heck?!?!?!

You said " it is a problem with ALL current macbook pros. I did take it to an Apple store and the "Genius" confirmed this.".
It seems to me that the problem then should have been rectified at the Apple store and yout post is unnecessary. If the matter has not been resolved I suggest that you go back to the Genius Bar and have them fix it. No one here can do so.
Please understand that we are here by our own volition, we are volunteers, we don't get paid, and I would say that we make our best effort to help others based on our respective knowledge bases. Points are welcome but I suspect thank you's are more so.
Ciao.
