Macbook Pro (2011) has rattling audio?
The other night, my Macbook Pro had the back left corner of the lid dented in slightly because it fell off my bed. Besides that, I didn't notice anything else wrong with it. However, just last night, I noticed that my audio starts to rattle a bit when turned up to about 60 - 70%. Thankfully, it's not always constant, but when the audio hits a certain level of volume is when it becomes most noticable.
Does anyone know what might be wong with it? One time, I did give the Macbook a few taps on its bottom, and to my surpise, it actually cleared it up for a little while. However, it did come back.
I'm digressing a bit here, but does anyone know how much it would cost to fix a dent on a Macbook Pro's shell?
I dont have enought experence about the mac just use it in 2 weeks , thats why i dont know , i call the guy but he using fake phone number like freeapp something he not pick up the phone So sad now ...
Do you think this is a virus or what .. i cant do anything right now ... when i open the macbook it cant do anything on it ... I cant even Use command : " Option " key or anything like that !

Macbook pro 2011 has faint green light. won't turn on. what is the issue?
I've had this problem twice and both times I've gone to the genius bar they've plugged it in and pressed a few buttons and it's working fine. It's a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch. Has a faint green and flickering orange light on the charger. I've tried resetting the SMC and the basic troubleshooting steps. I'm tired of going to the genius bar for a 5 minute fix. I can't turn it back on after it suddenly shuts off. Power button is not responding. It was updated and working fine. Im a student and can't afford to have this problem every week. What is the issue?
Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

I have corrected the bing takeover issue (but I am not sure how exactly), but now I cannot access any photo printing websites. I can pull up the websites, log in and proceed as normal. Once I select the option I want to purchase (posters, for example), the page opens and a bar appears saying "initializing". The progress stops here. The initializing bar loads to about 85% and stops. There is no activity whatsoever once it reaches this point. I have tried this on several websites. I have checked in preferences and I have no extensions active. I am relatively new to mac and I am unsure of what to do. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have this question too.

Bluetooth not working macbook pro 2011, AHT found nothing
My macbook pro 2011 has been having some issues with bluetooth. The system doesn't even recognize as having bluetooth hardware. I went under the hardware profile and it actually says No information found under bluetooth. I was able to do a full hour diagnostic test using Apple Hardware Test and everything was all clean. I'm not sure if this is Yosemite related or not. I definitely remember using my bluetooth enabled keyboard and mouse on my system before I upgraded to Yosemite. Wifi works fine. I've tried resetting PRAM, but nothing. I'm at a loss, not sure if there is anything else I can do.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

No audio from hdmi on macbook pro 2011
I just upgraed to Lion but now I can't get audio out of my HDMI. Any thoughts?
Using macbook pro 2011 OS Lion, connecting to Samsung HD tv via HDMI.Hi tehrabyte. There are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your model on HP's driver site. This download has worked for a few people with audio issues when going to 8.1. Try uninstalling your existing audio drivers and reinstalling this driver. Please let me know if it works.

My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do?
My Macbook pro 2011 suddenly has a really slow bootup. What can I do? I did install a cannon printer upgrade and security upgrade. Not sure if it was something to do with that. Also I tried the disk utility repair and didn't improve anything. I also reset PRAM and SMC.
1. Try booting in e Verbose mode - press and hold [cmd] + [v] keys just right after the boot chord sounds till you get a black screen and white letters.
if there are some delays in the boot process - you should see where the system is stuck.
this mode is not permanent - the next [re-] boot will be normal.
2. repair permissions. disk utility does fine. Disk Warrior is better.
sometimes after half done updates (it may happen though should not) there are items that are "belonging to someone else"
3. try cache cleaner (or there are some other utilities as well - I just like SlCC more) http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html - it's shareware though the basic functionality is free for you to use.
Try caches -> deep cleaning (please read the developers site what it does) and select checkmark at all options - reply yes to the requests and after a reboot the next reboot should be as it is intended.
p.s be sure you do have backup -
My MacBook Pro 2011 model has a backlight issue- pls someone help
I have a early 2011 MacBook pro that has a backlight issue, im able to connect it to an external monitor just fine.
Brought it to a repair shop and they swapped the screen including the lvd cable but the problem still exist.
Have already spend a lot of money to no avail. What could be the issue? :(
Apple said it only needs a new screen which doesn't seem to be true.http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
It is under warranty https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If it is more than one computer and both chargers are not working I suspect you need to replace.
If it was just one Mac I might suggest reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 -
3 week old Macbook Pro 2011 now has dot in middle of screen?
I bought my Macbook pro 2011 Hi-res 15" Glossy - Configured to Order 3 weeks ago from the Apple Online Store. After installing and playing a game this week, I notice that a grey dot appeared in the middle of the screen, especially noticeable when browsing on safari, with a white background.
Is this a dead pixel or stuck pixel? what should I do? What can Apple do?Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, take your Mac in for evaluation and ask. We are just fellow users, so we can't speak for Apple.
Pixel problems are a judgement call--Apple will determine what should be done on a case by case basis. If Apple determines that the display is unsatisfactory because of this flaw, you might possibly get a replacement display, especially since your problem is in the center.
Good luck! -
Macbook Pro 2011 running very slowly after upgrading to Mavericks
I am in deep trouble with my wife so any help would be gratefully accepted.
Shortly after Mavericks became available I upgraded my wife's Macbook Pro 2011 to use the new OS version. Ever since then, the Macbook has been running noticeably slowly. In particular, Mail is almost unusuable taking minutes to open and showing long delays while moving around messages, folders, etc. Excel and Word are also much slower, Safari is slow, in fact just about everything is grinding.
Any ideas on what can I can do to improve things and apease my unhappy wife would be much appreciated.
I have attached the Etrecheck output FYI
Thanks
Andrew

macbook pro 2011 will not give chime sound on start up. speaker very low no bass effect.. can anyone help!!!!!!
I have the same issue, except im on Snow Leopard. Done EVERYTHING!!! i get no chime on boot, just a quiet "pop". I've had my right speaker/subwoofer assembly replaced and still the same thing. Everytime i play music, or whenever any audio signal goes to my internal speakers, it quietly "pops" and has NO LOW END SOUND. Headphones and anything else plugged in works fine. I'm using a Macbookpro7,1 which is the 13in mid 2010 model. So far, I've had NO helpful information on this, and Apple expects WAAAAAYY too much money for something like this. SOMEONE TELL ME SOMETHING THAT HEPLS PLEASE!

Hello
I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above -

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.
