MBP 13" late 2011. when I turn it on it goes to an update screen then just shuts down

Lately I had problems when I recharged the battery, charging is constantly interrupted... And now, when I turn it on it goes to an update screen, then just shuts down. O.S: MAVERICKS
PLEASE HEEEELP!
P.D: Sorry for my english.

LaCalle,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the 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, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then 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 update screen now?

On the bottom of your MBP is the serial number. Enter it here and post back the model/year information:

My ipad is not going past the logo screen and it shuts down when I have battery, then it says I need to charge it. I am charging it but it isn't charging. Then my ipad isn't charging (doesn't say not charging) I've tried everything!

First, my ipad wasn't charging. Then it shuts down when I have 7% battery, now when I turn it on, it says to charge it. And when I do charge it, it doesn't work. Now, I did it once it worked. Now I can't get past the logo screen and when I do it shuts right off again. Please help!

Hi InternetHogger,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that situations where you cannot boot your iPad and cannot charge your iPad can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article as a reference for troubleshooting.

When I try to calibrate my iPod nano after a run it just shuts down and restarts. Whats happening?

After I run (iin basic mode) I try to calibrate. (I've done this a few times before).
Lately when I do/try this the iPod just shut down and restarts.
I've tried restoring the iPod in iTunes to no help.
It's a 6th generation nano coupled to a nike sensor.
Any help would be much apreciated.

As a test to determine if it is nike sensor only issue run once without the sensor. Use the inbuilt accelerometer to complete a run and calibrate it.

I haven't used my laptop in two months and now when I turn it on it goes to ye white screen with the apple loads for a bit and then stops loading. All I have now is a white screen with an apple

I haven't used my eleven month old Mac book pro in two months and when I turned it back on it gets stuck at the silver wheel with the wheel of death spinning it has been like this for two hours

Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I plug my phone into Dell laptop to update or sync computer shuts down

I'm trying to sync my iPhone with my outlook contacts or photos and plug my iphone into my DELL computer.It first recognizes the hardware and then computer screen goes blank saying that "beginning to dump physical memory" and "computer was shut down to prevent further damage". It happened to me when I just purchased a defective iphone. Once they replaced it with the new one, the problem was resolved. A couple of months later the same problem started again.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to do? I really want to keep my iphone up to date and sync with my outlook contacts and calendar...

I have exactly the same thing with my new iPhone when syncing to my Dell XPS; now on my second phone handset too. The same message comes up in a blue Dos screen.
Can we have some serious replies please! this is a £2500 laptop, not a toy!

Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power. Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash. If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash. An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

Random BSODs disappear when I uninstall BootCamp on MBP 13" late 2011, w7 x64

Hi, I am wondering if there are faulty drivers in the latest version of BootCamp 4.0 (downloaded on 29.05.2012).
I have MBP 13", late 2011 (MBP81.88Z.0047.B27.1201241646, 24/01/2012), and have installed on it Windows7 Ultimate SP1 x64 using BootCamp. Prior to unistalling BootCamp software, MBP was randomly freezing under Windows7 with a clumsy display. It was logging nothing to the dump files. I have run several times driver verifier and all the times recieved c2 BSOD until I unistalled BootCamp!!! (I can post the dump files if needed.) After that, although I have no access to special features of keyboard and trackpad, I have no problems in Windows and MBP runs fine under driver verifier's stress tests.
An interesting observation that I can make is that without BootCamp CPU cooler seems to be noisier.

Windows 8.1 for MBP 13" late 2011 BootCamp

Hi guys i have a MBP 13" late 2011 and I am installing windows 8.1 using bootcamp from an usb. I have reached the Install Windows part on EFI device ( the yellow usb). It is the part when i have to choose partition (1-4). Partition 1 is the Macintosh HD and partition 4 is the bootcamp. When i was about to choose the partition 4 it said that it can't be chosen because of windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space because. Can anyone help me? Thank you very much before.

Hey Timothyrg,
Long story short, if your computer doesn't meet the requirements, it doesn't meet the requirements. There are some Thunderbolt -> PCI X boxes that can run almost any GPU. However, in OS X, a Thunderbolt Aware driver for the graphics card is necessary for these to work. This is a limitation of the OS, not the hardware.
As to what a GPU is, it stands for "Graphics Processing Unit." This is a chip that's designed to manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images. The better the GPU, the higher the FPS/details that can be loaded at once.
tldr;
If your system doesn't meet the requirements due to graphics card limitations, it doesn't meet the requirements. You can't open your MBP up and throw in a new GFx card. If it's RAM limitations, that's fudgeable a little bit. If it's processor (CPU), you're in the same boat as you were with the GFx card.

I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

Can I use RAM from MBP 15 late 2011 to MBP 13 mid 2012

Hi All,
I presently have an MBP 15 late 2011 (running at 4GB RAM) - which I feel is very slow. Had been reading a lot of discussion threads and most viable solution seems to be to upgrade my RAM - found it in Crucial.com (8gb x 2 kit).
I have another MBP 13 mid 2012 (running at 2GB RAM). I was wondering if I can transfer my 4GB RAM from my MBP 15 to my MBP 13.
Will there be any compatibility issues? Will this work?
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks.

MBP 15 (late 2011) Harddrive 750gb/7200rpm

Hello,
does anybody know wich brand/model (750gb/7200rpm) of harddrive is used in MBP 15" (late 2011).
Especially, I would be interested if the the 750gb/7200rpm HD is much noisier than the 500gb/5400rpm?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure, but in my early '11 MPB 13" the stock hard drive was made by Hitachi (it is a 320gb 5400 rpm).

Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing

Hi, im having problems with my iphone it would always be showing up "No Service" even when I get my simcard out, when i turn airplane mode it would switch to " Searching" and then go back to "No Service", i have tried restoring several times, but nothing has changed. I must say that my iphone was working perfectly until the last months my battery began to die all from a sudden, so my phone got turn off really frequently, so then i ordered a battery and changed it myself so when phone was on.. it had this problem.. im desperate here

No I haven´t take it to Apple Store, i think I will actually. My iphone was jailbroken and ulocked with gevey sim, but when this failures began i decided to restore it, and I did preserve the baseband, but when I took it into one of these "Places" they told me it would be a good idea to do a clean restore and see if this fixed the problem so I upgraded my baseband, and right now my iphone is freshly restore, no jailbreak no nothing.
Btw yes something like a year ago my screen was replaces by others not by apple, but I didnt had any issues after this.. until today (a little more than a year later).

When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'. Not sure how to fix this.

I'm not sure what to do, I did not recieve a cd with my mac to boot it up (I ordered it online).
Also I can't find my harware serial number (I've tried many times to input what I thought it may be from my receipt). I saw that I need this number to contact apple support, my 90 day complimentary support is still valid so I wish to contact them.
I don't know much about apple products as this is my first apple computer so any information is helpful.

Hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your iMac to get the Boot Selection screen.
From that choose to boot into OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.
The new iMacs have OSX 10.7 Lion preinstalled and don't come with any CD/DVD anymore.
Instead OSX Lion includes a new feature called "Lion Recovery".
