Macbook Pro early 2011 often ssd corruption

As i installed Drive Geniuou Pro 3 on my macbook early 2011 equipped with 128 GB SSD i noticed that every month i've got some check failing on the hard disk (in drive geniuos -> verification failed -> must run repair) and this reflects in a little performance slow down and  i think i always had this problem, even before installing drive geniuos, bacause i noticed those performance issues in the past. Booting from the drive geniuos cd and running repair solves the problem but it becomes frustrating because it happens so often. Is there a way to run some checks or procedure to keep in health my disk? Or maybe it is an ssd probelm and there is a patch?

SSD disk is an apple TS128C and unfortunately i cannot take it in assistance because i need it for work.
What i cannot understand is why disk corrupts because macbook never freezed and never had probelm saving, moving, copying files!
You have a Toshiba SSD in your Macbook.
It sounds more like a software issue rather than a hardware issue - do you have a USB external drive handy with no files in them?  I was going to suggest you clone your SSD to the external drive and once that's done - boot from your external drive - open disk utility and do a format/erase on your ssd using a secure erase - once that's done, clone your external drive to your internal drive - restart your macbook and see if problem continues.
more than likely however, you still might have the issue since you're just doing a clone but it's worth a try.
a clean install is a much better solution but you have to do a backup of your contents so you can restore after.

  • Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

    Dear all,
        A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
    Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8),  I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
    With EFI it just boots Mac
    With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
    I do not know what is wrong :/
    P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

    I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

    Is a Macbook Pro early 2011 2 GHz Intel Core i7 compatible with a SATA III SSD Drive

    One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll be amazed at the increase in performance an SSD can deliver over a HD, the two storage mediums work differently, and one of the OS features SSD's benefit from is TRIM. While you've probably seen a lot of discussion and disagreement about that on these forums, this article about the Samsung 840 EVO SSD also goes into how SSD performance changes over time for a variety of SSD's. The narrative is interesting but the graphs are an eye-opener, showing how relatively successful Garbage Collection alone vs GC + TRIM are in recovering full performance. That's the good news.
    The bad news is that while activating TRIM is simple, activating it with Yosemite installed has a real down-side. So if you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, you might keep that in mind.

  • Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often?

    Why is my 15'' macbook pro Early 2011 slowing down in performance often? It's barely got anything in it and it lags alot of times. This is supposedly running on quad-core i7 2.2 yet I have to restart at times to make sure it gets better. Why is that so?
    I turn on activity monitor and there aren't even anything taking up power or memory. It just lags out of the blue.

    Activity Monitor may still offer a clue. By default, it shows only "My Processes," those related to your user account. To see the real picture, you need to set AM to show "All Processes" as in this view:
    Click the header "%CPU" to sort by usage. Most true resource hogs are only apparent in this view.

  • Macbook pro (early 2011) won't boot after sleep. Black screen with chime

    I put my macbook pro early 2011 (Quad, 8 Gb RAM, 2 x SSD-disks, external 27" LED-screen) into sleep mode a couple of days ago. Everything was fine then.
    However, the morning after it wouldn't wake up - this is the bootup process:
    - Black screen
    - Chime
    - Still black screen, nothing happens.
    So I've tried resetting NVRAM, SMC etc - no luck. Even tried the "Powerbutton" + "S" + Enter but to no avail.So I immediately began dd:ing my SSD-disk before trying anything else, figured it might be some preboot-corruption of some sort since I'm running FileVault2 with full AES-encryption.
    Now, the problem (after some troubleshooting) doesn't seem to be disk-oriented. Remember the black screen? I've tried pulling the SATA-cables one by one on the motherboard of the Macbook pro and discovered that when I pulled the cable which reaches over the optical device (just above the SATA-cable for the optical device) then I get a white screen and I'm able to get as far as boot-option, or even disk repair (if I run my SSD-disk over USB and without any cables (three of them) attacked to the motherboard).
    So since nothing works when I have disks connected or that third cable (some kind of logic board bridge? Reaches through the screen over to the other side of the mother board).
    Also worth noting is that I was running out of free disk-space on my system disk. The disk is 250 Gb and free space was about 5-10 Gb (less than 5%). I also make the macbook pro dump contents of memory to disk (since my disk is encrypted it resides safely there).
    So, my fear is that Apple hasn't used A-grade controllers for the disk drives (I've had drive corruption before, a Crucial 6 GB/s drive trashed less than a week before a presentation) and doesn't handle "unexpected events" nor signal/noise ratio very well. Maybe free space on disk was less than the 8 Gb needed to dump RAM (shouldn't have needed the full 8 Gb though) and this caused some kind of panic overwrite which trashed the controller?
    Anyways, I've attached an image of the motherboard and I am wondering - what does the top cable which reaches over the optical drive do? Is it connected to the logic-board?

    Looks to me like a fatal error on the hard disk. IMHO, the only solution is to boot from an external device, reformat the hard drive, and restore from backup. If you don't have a backup, you're in trouble. Boot from the external device, try to mount the int'l drive, and, if successful, back up as much as possible. Also, try running Disk Utility—it may be possible to fix it while booted from a different device, thought I wouldn't bank on it. At any rate, make sure to run an AHT afterwards, to check for possible hardware issues with the drive.
    If the machine is still covered by AppleCare, take it to the store by all means. But they won't try to recover anything from the int'l drive, just check it, erase it if they don't find hardware issues, and re-install a fresh copy of the OS.
    That's why you should always have at least 1 up-to-date backup (2, with one kept off-site, is better).

  • Macbook Pro early-2011 crashing/locking-up

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro (early-2011 model 15") has been locking up and crashing lately. It was recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX.This has happened only a handful of randomn times over the past two months. I don't think it has to do with the OS version because it did this a couple months ago as stated when I had Lion, and also ML. However, in the past 24 hours i have locked up around 5 times and crashed at 3 times.  I've attached the crash report below from the latest crash this morning. I use one usb port to connect to a Dell monitor using DisplayLink adapter, and the other usb port goes to a 4-port usb hub that has my wired keyboard, mouse, and phones that I test with plugged into. The mini displayport goes to another Dell monitor. Can anyone help me determine the issue? Does it look to you like the RAM has been corrupted and needs replacing perhaps? Or maybe it is this usb hub causing memory crashes from having so much stuff plugged into it? Log below:

  • Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
    There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
    Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
    2011 models must use:
    •204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    And 2012 models must use:
    •204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    So here's the video:
    Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • What do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

    what do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

    I  don't use anything to speed up FCP X on your MBP. 
    Seriously we need statistical info on why you think it needs speeding up.
    Poor performance is often associated with incorrect usage, lots of other apps open or a hard drive that is more than 75% full or fragmented.
    Ideally all the media should be stored on an external hard drive and not the MBP's.

  • Is my MacBook Pro early 2011 SATA II or SATA III ? Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1

    Hello all,
    I'm thinking about updating my HD to a SSD to give my "mature" MAC an speed bump.
    QUESTION:
    Is my MacBook Pro early 2011 SATA II or SATA III ????
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core i5
      Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 3 MB
      Memory: 4 GB

    Hold down the option key and, under the Apple () menu, select System Information. Under Hardware, look at the SATA/SATA Express tab and you'll see:
    6 Gigabit is SATA III speed.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) is freezing nearly everyday?

    Hi
    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011, purchased at launch) is freezing nearly everyday. This problem exists for a long time (Since purchase). Whenever I let my macbook turned on, it freezes after some time. (Quite often in the night). I do not have any hardware hungry applications running. The freezes occure at normal usage. The only way to solve the freez is a complete hardreset.
    I do not have any idear why this problem occures.

    So, here is the copy of the console...
    the freeze must be happened at 06:51

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doesn't detect display over mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter in Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Hi to all.
    I have a problem connecting external display (Dell U2311H) to my 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011).
    I use Tecklink Mini DasplayPort to HDMI adapter (http://www.techlink.uk.com/products/wires_cables/wiresmedia/wiresmedia_media/wir esmedia_mini_displayport_plug_to_hdmi_plug), but since U2311H doesn't have HDMI input, I also use Manhattan DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/8101-displayport-adapter).
    And nothing.
    The display is not detected, no picture or even external monitor presence at all.
    I even reset PRAM, and installed 10.8.2 Supplementary update.
    I also plugged and unplugged all I could, with no luck.
    As I can see on Apple discussion, it is a common problem with 2011 MacBook Pro's.
    It seems like the problem is in Thundebolt port, it somehow does not work properly.
    If anyone has solved such ploblem, please let me know.

    In reply to my own post have to say appologies to Apple whose Thunderbold port I used to blame.
    Shame on me)
    So, what was my problem?
    Guess what?
    Manhattan DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter !
    The point is it's actually do only what it said to do, converts DP to HDMI.
    But I for some reason thought it can be used vice versa, to be HDMI to DP converter))
    I was wrong.
    I bought new one HDMI to DVI adapter and now I HAVE external display!
    Thunderbolt works like a charm.
    So I'm very satisfied now.

  • MacBook Pro Early 2011 - Airplay Mirroring only sends audio to Apple TV 2nd Gen

    Ok, I'm stumped by this one. I have a 15" MBP Early 2011 edition and an Apple TV 2nd Gen. Airplay Mirroring from my MBP to Apple TV only transmits the audio -- the MBP will resize the screen like it's connected to a 16:9 device, and Apple TV will show a black screen like it's about to pick up the video signal, but no video transmits. A couple of times, video started transmitting, but it was about 30 seconds delayed (?!) and extremely choppy. Both devices are connected wirelessly to a Linksys router with 5 GHz (wireless N) capabilities. The router has been configured to Apple's recommendations for Airplay Mirroring.
    A little more about my MacBook Pro:
    Early 2011 Model ID: MacBookPro8,2
    OS: 10.8.2 Mountain Lion
    CPU: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          4
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6490M, VRAM 256 MB Total
    This problem is driving me crazy! Airplay works flawlessly between my iPhone 5 and Apple TV, but not with a much more powerful laptop. Also, I tried Mirroring from a friend's 13" MacBook Pro, and it did the same thing.
    Any suggestions, tips, ideas, etc. to get this working is appreciated!

    your macbook dont support airplay mirror
    He has an Early-2011 MacBook Pro, which does meet the requirements. The issue is that it is running OS X 10.7.5 and needs to be upgraded to Mountain Lion to use mirroring.

  • Connecting my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) and listening to Multichannel surround sound.

    Dear all,
    I am attempting to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to my Sony LCD TV (KDL-46XBR6) via the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI. I have successfully connected the two devices and can select "SONY TV XV" in the sound preference pane. I can see and hear what I'd like, however, I can only monitor the sound in 2 channel stereo. I have my TV connected to a Sony 7.1 audio receiver via an optical cable and can monitor 7.1 sound via other sources (Blu-ray, broadcast, etc). When I go into the Audio Midi Setup utility, I am unable to configure my speakers to be anything but 2 channel stereo. I am given the options for "2ch-16bit", "2ch-20bit", "2ch-24bit" and "Encoded Digital Audio". When I select "Encoded Digital Audio", my output automatically changes to Built-in Output. Has anyone been able to successfully resolve this issue? Thanks for all your help!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Have you or anyone else had success with any other third-party adapters?
