Macbook Pro (Late 2011 model issue)

I purchased my Macbook pro (late 2011 Model) a couple of months back, towards the end of last year. Staright after i had purchased it, and had got it delivered i experienced cracking and clicking noises coming from within the Hinge of the Macbook. And got it replaced for a brand new one as i was still within the 2 weeks prior to purchase, as the apple policy states i was eligible to get a new if i had any problems. So i did. And the brand new replacement macbook pro that i have NOW has the same problem. Ever since i got the other one replaced THIS ONE has the problem or rather much worse, Cracking and clicking noises everywhere whenever i handle the notebook or carry it there is cracking noises everywhere. Whenever i open and close the screen lid, UP or Down. There is loud clicking noises coming from inside, sounds like something is breaking. This is totally unacceptable. First macbook had issue, replaced it, And now replaced Macbook pro is much worse. Since i had it replaced i havent had time to come bring it in. It still bears the same preoblem and is getting worse!

You're just going to have to take it into your local Apple Store. They won't replace again but you're still within your one-year warranty so they will certainly repair. I have the same model and have not have any of the problems that you describe.

Clinton

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 WiFi issues

    Hey guys and gals,
    I've been having some issues with my late 2011 Macbook Pro 17 inch. It has been loading webpages very slowly on some occasions. About 50-60% of the time it runs almost perfectly, but sometimes it just starts loadaing various websites very slowly and can take up to 5-10 mins to load something ir it may not even load it at all. The weird thing is, it goes back to working normally after a few mins. It also loads .gif images sowly most of the time or it may play them frame by frame and then freeze them, where as my dads 2009 Macbook Pro 17 inch loads them instantly and perfectly.
    I thought it was just a problem with my internet so I had them check my line and give me a new router. The line was fine and the router has a slightly better signal than my last one but the problem is still there. My Dads Macbook Pro doesn't seem to encounter the same problem even though I've been using it all day flawlessley.
    What could be causing it? What might the solution be? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Jamie.

    Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller

  • Is it true that sleep consume less power than boot? (MacBook pro late 2011 model)

    I have 3 questions here to ask:
    1. Some say that sleep consume less power than boot, but some say it isn't. Which is true? and how it can be?
    2. Is it true that charging your macbook pro until 100% then unplug it will make cycle count go faster than using AC power all day and ONLY using battery when we couldn't find AC outlet will make it slower?
    3. i found that some macbook user leave their macbook charged all the time and some macbook user prefer use battery all the time. Which way is better? i have observed and looked at any apple help topics but couldn't get the answer without any experience from you guys...
    I'm so conserned with these issues...
    Thank you for your time though, i hope i can find the best solutions here....

    Regarding question 1, that's a meaningless question.  Boot uses a specific amount of power, dependent on how much stuff has to start up on your machine and what hardware you have, while sleep uses a trickle over time, so whether this is true depends on what interval of sleeping you're comparing to boot.  There will be a break even point somewhere, but where that might be isn't clear.
    Apple recommends sleep over shutdown unless you're going to be away from the computer for a couple days or more.  Of course, I can't find a reference to that document now, but I know it was there at one point in time.  I don't think that the entire issue is power-related, as boot will stress the hardware slightly more (lots of reading from and writing to the hard drive, etc) than sleep.
    As to questions 2 and 3, the answer is the same for both.  Your battery lasts for a finite number of cycles before losing capacity.  (How many cycles is a good question, and not an easy one to answer.)  A cycle is defined as going from full to empty, but can be broken up as well.  For example, if you start from full, drain halfway, charge to full again and drain to halfway again, that's one cycle.  So, the more times you charge your battery, the faster it will wear out, but how you do it doesn't matter much.
    There are a couple gotchas, though.  First, a battery can wear out prematurely if you never let the electrons "turn over."  You need to use it on battery power sometimes, though it doesn't have to be daily by any means.  Second, if you drain the battery fully, that's not very good for modern batteries.  I wouldn't worry about it now and then, but don't make it a habit of draining it fully.  (Some people erroneously recommend frequently draining the battery fully and then charging it back up to "condition" the battery, but that is not actually good practice.  All Mac portables with built-in batteries do not need conditioning.)
    Finally, all this is fairly irrelevant if it interferes with the way you need to use the machine.  Use the machine the way you need to use it, and don't worry so much about adjusting your needs to fit the battery's needs.  If that means you have to replace the battery a little more frequently, so be it.  They're not that expensive in the grand scheme of things.

  • MacBook Pro Late 2011 Model - Does not work after Yosemite update

    i recently updated my OS to Yosemite and had in problems for two days but yesterday it ceased to work in the middle of printing a document.
    I need my laptop back up and running since I have school exams soon and vital information and files are in this laptop.
    i Have never had a problem with the laptop before.
    Issues that I have had
    logging in takes at least 20 minutes
    cannot progress further than that, desktop is blank and nothing loads, only the dock.
    battery drains extremely fast
    Safe boot does not even load
    I've tried clearing that VRAM and the other one.
    Cannot access anything at all
    This is appalling and at the worst possible time.

    Please describe exactly what you're doing and what happens.

  • MacBook Pro (Late 2011) Graphics Card issue; shall I keep it?

    Hi there,
    I've recently bought a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) second hand from someone on eBay, it's going to be delivered in a couple days.
    Now, after the purchase, I did some research into the production year - I know, I should've done it before really - and found a huge amount of people with the very-known issue of the Graphics card. The issue causes massive visual problems and has, on many occasions, resulted in a replaced Logic Board.
    I'd like to know whether you think that this machine is a safe one to keep, or if I should send it back and try and get one from a different year?
    The seller said, once I asked him about it, that the previous owner (obviously someone has had it before him) apparently had a few issues, but he himself hasn't, and is using Mavericks.
    What do you think?

    Not ALL of the 15" and 17" models have had a problem with the soldering of the GPU - maybe 20,000 at the most (based on the information that I've been gathering and some of those may be reports on the same machine). It's possible that yours may be  good one.
    However... I wouldn't take the chance, were it me. I've only had my logic board replaced once and it's been almost 11 months now and my machine is still working. But I'm sure that the problem will surface again (after my AppleCare runs out in 2015!) so I've decided to become less Mac-dependent in the future.
    If I were you, I would just tell the seller that you're not comfortable buying a 2011 model with the discrete GPUs (the 13" models are just fine) and would shop Apple's refurbished section, looking for a non-Retina 2012 model.
    My opinion...

  • I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 and having issues with utilities screen.

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I want to reformat my hdd to start from scratch. My issue is when I am on the utilities screen I am unable to click on anything. I want to delete my current partition but I am unable to click on Disk Utilities. Please help me!

    According to your profile your Mac is running v10.7.3 Lion.
    If that is the case, to reformat the hard drive you need to use Lion Recovery not Disk Utility.

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 suddenly slow after months using Yosemite. Never noticed kernel_task until this happened.

    My MacBook Pro late 2011 has recently slowed to snails pace after successfully running Yosemite from a clean install for many months.
    I always have Activity monitor running to keep an eye on memory and CPU.  When the issue started, I noticed Kernel_task for the first time and its 0.5 to 1GB.
    I have verified/repaired the disk and repaired permissions in Safe Mode.  Also done SMC and PRAM resets.
    CPU usage is usually 2% or less unless number crunching in Excel or watching videos.
    I created a new user account, which is much faster in opening Safari and searching.  There is no Kernel_task showing for the new user.
    Cardo-updater is for a motorcycle bluetooth headset.
    Xquartz is for GIMP.
    Rogueamoeba is for Audio Hijack Pro.
    These three have been in use since day 1 of Yosemite and before in Mavericks.

    Time machine disk too small - thought I was using a 1 TB drive !!
    Problem description:
    MBP late 2011 has become very slow after a few months after a Yosemite clean install.  Kernel_task memory circa 1 GB.  CPU activity is a few percent.  Created a new user. Activity monitor does not show Kernel_task at all.  Much faster as the new user. Permissions repaired in Safe mode.  SMC and PRAM reset done.  Short hardware test (option D on boot) - no problems.  I have VirtualBox to run XP at times for some Win apps.

  • Graphics problem mac book pro late 2011 model

    I have a mac book pro late 2011 model.my screen gets grey after the apple logo pops up and freezes and it becomes extremly hot.as my mac was out of warranty i gave it for repair but it didnt resolve as it was a graphics problem.later on i came to know that a lot of mac book pro late 2011 model users have the same problem.will apple change the logic board for me as its just two years old and i paid around  Rs.120000 for that mac and now i am not able to use it.i saw the logic bard price and its like Rs.45000 which is like too expensive.i dont know what to do? i came across a forum saying apple will replace the logic board for free if its graphics related issues for mac book pro late 2010 model if its within 3 years from the date of purchase. here is the link .
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US
    I am a student and it took much time and money to buy that mac.please let me know if someone can help me replacing the logic board.its just two years old and as new as i bought. pls help

    You're having the problems as discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 - thread. There is no scheme to replace the logic boards as there was for the 15" mid-2010 model. Depending on where you are and what consumer rights you may have under the laws of your country, Apple will likely want to replace the logic board (at a substantial cost). The best 'fix' for the problem at this time is to have the GPU BGA reballed back onto the logic board.
    Take a look at the thread and see if you've the same problems - it only affects 15" and 17" 2011 models, not the 13" model. If you've the 13" model, you have a different problem.
    Good luck,

  • Both Internal hard drives fail on Macbook Pro late-2011

    Both internal hard drives (SSD and HDD) failed on Macbook Pro late-2011.
    Setup: MBP closed with Thunderbolt display attached.
    Problem on HDD-A
    I called Apple Support to log an issue with my MBP2011. The system is made up of 2 drives - SSD (128GB) and HDD with 2 partitions HDD-A and HDD-B(original 750GB).
    HDD-A has LionOSX 10.7 and HDD-B is storage. SSD has LionOSX on it as well. I normally boot HDD-A.
    I was working on HDD-A and the Kernel Panic screen appeared prompting me to shutdown the machine and start it up again.
    I tried to reboot HDD-A and the grey progress bar appeared for a long time. I then forced shutdown and rebooted into SSD.
    I was able to boot from SSD and then I opened Disk Utility to check the drives. I verified the disk for HDD-A and there was an error. I then tried to repair disk and it couldn't repair it. A dialogue said the disk could not be repaired and that data should be backed up.
    HDD-A was not visible in Finder but HDD-B was accessible.
    I verified HDD-B and it was "ok".
    I shutdown, booted from SSD, disk utility HDD-A and the same message occurred.
    I called Apple Support and they advised that I boot from my external HDD which was a clone of HDD-A.
    Solution
    I was successfully able to boot from the Clone HDD-A.
    HDD-A was able to be accessed and I could retrieve the files from HDD-A.
    I copied over the latest files from HDD-A to an external drive.
    Same Problem on SSD
    Boot from SSD, i started working for about 3 hours, with the lid closed, and attached to the ACD.
    Kernel Panic screen happened again on the SSD.
    Couldn't boot boot from either SSD or HDD-A.
    I booted from Cloned HDD-A, Disk Utility verify and repair returned errors on SSD. The same issue had occurred on the second drive.
    Disk Recovery from a boot recovery USB thumb, Disk Utility, erased SSD, verify was ok.
    Tried to install then there was an install error saying that SSD was damaged (large triangle warning icon). Tried 3 times, failed.
    Boot from Recovery Drive HDD-A, downloaded LionOSX.
    Next steps
    Format HDD-A and HDD-B into 2 partitions
    Install LionOSX on HDD A.
    Note:
    I did not do any software updates for about a week before 14.04.2012 and suspect it might be due to the virus.
    I normally work with the lid closed and attached to the ACD, I also suspect that overheating caused both drives to fail. However, I have been using this system with the lid closed for atleast a week. One Kernel Panic screen occured.

    Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
    If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
    Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
    Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
    Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in.

  • Osx 10.8.4 does not run macbook pro late 2011

    does any have issues after installing osx 10.8.4???  because i have an issue after i update my macbook pro late 2011 ,it doesn't start and only stay on the mac logo and appears the pointer i restarted many times and does not work the only option i had is  to reinstall the osx 10.8.3. can anybody help me with this issue??  thank you.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Macbook pro late 2011 starting problem

    I'm running OS Maverics 10.9.3 version on Macbook pro late 2011. Few days ago the OS got much slower than normal system. Then i installed the the new OS but it was good for few hours. Then after few hours it became slower again. Then I changed the HDD and installed the new OS. But I found the same problem again. Then I removed all backup files from the HDD. After removing all items it became to work normally. But after 15/17 days later when i'm trying to turn on the macbook a flashing folder icon appears then i pull down the display for a while. When the lights gone then i turn on again and it works normally. I tried the internet recovery option by pressing the (ctrl+R) button but it takes much time. But nothing happened. What is the problem?

  • Photoshop CC 2014 extremely slow after fresh intallation on MacBook Pro Late 2011, i7   8 GB RAM, Photoshop CS 5.1 performance OK

    Hi there,
    I just installed Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 with 8 GB RAM after already having installed CS 5.1 on my MacBook.
    So I have both installed at the same time.
    But: CS 5.1 is much faster! The first time opening CC 2014 was really shocking, because it was so laggy and still is, and I don't know why this is.
    I didn't do any weird performance settings, neither did I change anything else. I open a document in CC 2014 and it takes nearly double the time
    compared to opening the same document in CS 5.1.
    And with CS 5.1 running the app Memory Clean tells me that i have 1.5 GB of free memory, with CC 2014 running my memory is completely in use.
    Are there any tipps/tricks/issues with having both installed at the same time? Am I missing something that is leading to that specific performance
    issue?
    I would be glad if someone could help me, because otherwise I have to say that upgrading to CC 2014 and buying the CC license for one year
    didn't turn out to be a good thing.
    Thanks!

    Nothing here?
    The MacBook now has 16 GB RAM, but not much change. Photoshop CS 5.1 performance is great after splitting the PSD into 3 different ones, Photoshop CC 2014 still much slower.
    Does anyone experience the same problems, especially with many groups / layers / smart objects?
    And is it possible to get back the money for purchasing the yearly CC license when I'm not satisfied with the product?
    Thank you.

  • Macbook Pro (Late 2011) Won't read game

    My Macbook Pro (Late 2011) plays dvds (I used Family guy to test) but will not read the disk for Football Manager 2015 despite it being Mac compatible. THe disk itself runs on PC so isn't faulty. Any thoughts? 
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)

    Thanks, OrangeMarlin.  Lots to learn about in land of the Macs.
    Point taken on the driver.  The reason I'm hesitant to assume it's power related is because everything else works.  Here is a short list of other devices I've used it for in the week or so I've owned this machine:
    iPad (connected fine and charged iPad to full)
    Seagate GoFlex (connects fine, but this device also uses wall power)
    Samsung Spinpoint HDD (in an aluminum Rosewill enclosure, also uses wall power)
    iPod Classic (fifth gen, 30GB), also charges
    Samsung Captivate (Android phone), charges
    I got this machine from the Apple store last week, when I swapped out my original purchase MBP due to a screen defect.  I asked them to run a gamet of tests to ensure everything OK, and they complied (at least claimed to).  I assume if I brought it back, with the drive, they would be able to test for a power issue, correct?
    Thanks again.
