MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it. -

With my MacBook Pro 17" with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz startup freeze with 10.6.8 - I had problems after several SW upgrades.

"Save Boot", startup with shift shows no problems, display is ok, no freeze. So something must new in the video-driver. Is there any driver what I can delete or any new software to help in this issue?try to boot off the cd installazzione, when the screen appears to follow thePACKING screen viewing. If you've already looked in the manual are your problem?

Cable that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
Hi,
The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working. I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies. What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)? And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
Thanks-
SheriHi Sheri,
The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro models have a Mini DisplayPort for video out, which can be connected to a VGA connector using Apple's adapter. See this product page -
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
VGA does not carry an audio signal.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?
Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.
Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer. -
Purchase RAM for Macbook Pro 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009
Hello,
I need to upgrade the current memory(2 GB) of my Macbook pro (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009) model..Can someone please suggest where I could purchase and what is the maximum and optimal that I could buy.
Also I reside in India, so should I get it online or from the apple store which is like 100 km (nearest) from my place .
Thanks
ShubhamYou can buy them oniine if you wish to do so. Buying it from Apple is a good idea but would cost more, and since it's 100km away, after your gas = more money.
The maximum you can install is 8GB. Your RAM specs are 1333MHz - DDR3 - 204PIN SODIMM.
Check here for current prices online and compare to the price Apple sells them in your area.
If you're not in a big rush - then buying online is a good idea.
Good luck -
Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Hello,
I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

Message was edited by: Dr. Z.You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

Hi Everyone!
I bought this MacBook Pro 13 inch, Intel Core i5 in June 2011 and it is Early 2011 model and today I am charging my battery and it plugged in and it wont charge.

Please Help. Thank you!'Replace Battery" means you need a new battery.
Take it to the Apple store as soon as possible.
Mac is in limited warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.
If the battery is found to be defective, it will be replaced free while Mac is in warranty.
Take the Mac to the Apple store. -
Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch): Maximum momory?
Hi,
There are confusing posts on the maximum memory I can put on Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch). Is it 3GB or 8GB?
Thanks in advance,
YDApple says 3GB's, but you can run a max of 4GB's, although only about 3.3GB's will be able to addressed by your system. However, you'll get better performance by running matched pairs, so upgrade to 4GB's.

HI All
This is my first post here. As mentioned I have a fall 2011 15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM and i was thinking of buying a 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade? I do light video editing and day to day tasks like word processing, email etc.
How would the performance of the Macbook Air with the Core i5 with 4 gb Ram be compared to the old Macbook Pro 15 with Core i7 Quad 2.0 ghz with 8 GB Ram.
Thanks
SunnyThe main advantage would be a solid state drive. This will improve performance and speed moreso than RAM considerations. The disadvantage will be a loss of storage space. Moreover, one of the disadvantages of a SSD is that the more storage space used on it, the slower it becomes and the quicker it will deteroriate.
If you do video editing, I would take the GPU into consideration. Does your 15'' come with a discrete GPU? The integrated GPU on the MBA (intel HD 5000) is better than the 2011 MBP integrated GPU (3000), but it includes no discrete GPU.
Depending on how much storage space you use on your HDD currently + how many graphics intensive programs you run, you may want to consider upgrading your current machine with a SSD, upgrading your RAM on current machine to 16 gb (~160$ through macmemory or newegg), or purchasing a new Macbook Pro rather than Macbook Air.
Last thing I would add:
You will never be able to upgrade MBA RAM. It is soldered to the logicboard on the new models, non-retina included. You may wan to opt with the 8 GB RAM configuration. -

If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. They should be more than willing to install a new logic board at no cost. I have no idea why this faulty GPU is making the headline here on the MacBook Pro forum so often now - could it be because Mountain Lion is just bringing the issue to a head more readily? I don't know - I only know that we're seeing more and more of these kernel panics of late.
Good luck,
Clinton
