MBP 15" late 2011 VGA 6750m not on display list

i've upgraded my MAC OS into mountain lion.
since that time my "about mac" only displaying 1 graphic card (intel hd 3000)
how to solve the problem to use the 6750m graphic card?

"About This Mac" "More Info..." will only display the GPU that is in use at the time. If you'd like more control of changing how you graphics cards operate, download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus. You can switch from Integrated Only, Discrete Only or use Dynamic Switching. Pretty nifty little tool. Please donate if you find it useful.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MBP 13 Late 2011 Battery not reach until 7 hours

    I just bought new MBP last week and when I charge it, only stand until 5 hours.. why this happen? is there any tips to make it can be used until 7 hours? my bluetooth's off and brightness is low but still just 5 hours.. i afraid that my MBP's battery is weaker from start.hope you guys can help me. thanks.

    i have the same problem with my macbook pro 13" i5 2.4ghz. got it last black friday. earlier today, the battery capacity was at 98% but now, its down to 95%. should i be concerned?
    aside from this, the only battery heavy application that i use would have to be online video streaming, with this, my battery could work without power for around 3hrs on very low screen light. huhuh i asked my friends with older MBP models (early 2011/late 2010) and she said, her laptop could go on for 7-8 hours with the same or similar programs but on full screen light.

  • Macbook Pro 17inch late 2011 keyboard backlight not working

    Recently near the end of sum me 2014 I only noticed the backlight keyboard not working at all. I have done the following to try and rectify;
    1. Reset SMC
    2. Rest NVRAM
    3. Disconnected battery and the above
    4. hardware test online, result showing no issues found.
    with all outcomes proving nil. Pressing Fn + F5 or F6 does show the brightness either increasing or decreasing but with no light. I then opened her up and disconnected a cable that was to the LHS of the RAM boards but this only powers the White Sleep LED and not the backlight keyboard on this 17inch model. My next step is to remove the mother board and find the actual cable that does power the backlight LEDs and ensure that it is connected. Similarly around the same time I noticed this with the backlights the fans were running fast. However the weather has gotten cooler and the mbp is not running fans as it was when it was in the warmer months.
    Do I have to remove the motherboard and actually make sure that the connector for the backlights hasn't been dislodged?
    Anyone out there with a 17inch mbp late 2011 that has had this problem please help.

    Thanks Ogelthorpe, I found an excellent video (not in english but it didnt matter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HNAGodYMNA .
    What I found was that the keyboard backlight is intergrated into the black plastic cover that is between the motherboard and the back of the keys/LEDS and its all one piece back to the connector that connects to the motherboard under the LHS fan. I need more details to find out if the LEDS are controlled by a chip or what, but it seems to me that I need to visit an apple store/repairer, however this will be really difficult for me as Im in an isolated location. If there are further tests that I can conduct on my own, I would be grateful. Even if there are tests that Apple themselves conduct to find out what the problem is

    If the MBP operates while the charger is connected, the charger then is not the problem.  The data that you originally posted from System information>Power indicates that the battery is functional (normal).  That then indicates that there is a problem in the charging circuit.  
    You might open the MBP and disconnect and reconnect the battery.  You have to be careful not to short circuit the battery.
    The best option is a trip to the Apple store genius bar.  This appears to be a hardware issue.

  • Display problem (washed out) on MBP 13" late 2011

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" unibody late 2011, i 5 (bought it at 1200 usd). Since last year I have been experiencing an over heating issue and noisy machine or fan (I cant distinguish clearly), even sometimes the machine still works and makes noisy sound when there's no running application.  I am a student and  not using my MBP to do professional work, such as video processing, playing videogame, or any heavy task. What I usually do are writing using Office, listening music and sometimes watching movie. Yet, a week ago my screen suddenly got washed out, like it was faded to white. I brought it to apple asp and they told me that I need to replace my Display (400 usd) and logic board (700 usd). It's totally crazy how in just 2,5 years I need to replace the units that cost me as much as a new MBP!! I bought Apple product bcause of its durability and quality, therefore this news is surely unacceptable esp when I know that I dont use my computer excessively. I tried to search the core issue and found that the 2011 MBP 15" and 17" has problem with its Graphic display and some of the users got a free logic board replacement. However, I was rare to see this goes also to MBP 13"? I really need a suggestion on this issue. Do you guys think that my problem is the same case with the 15" and 17"? And what should I do with this laptop?
    Apple is truly disappoint me. Even a cheaper laptop can last more than 3 years..

    mirapple6611,
    The GPU problems with the 2011 models only show up in the 15" and 17" models, so you've not the same problem that some of us have had.
    A new screen and a logic board replacement would be pretty expensive, I'm guessing? I've no idea why they would suggest a logic board replacement if your machine displays fine on other screens. A logic board replacement just doesn't make sense if that's the case.
    If I were you, I'd get a 'second opinion' from another AASP. Won't hurt and may save you some money in the end.

  • 3 BEEPS AT STARTUP (MBP 13' late 2011) new hard drive

    HI, I need some help I have changed the hard drive myself of MacBook Pro (the hard drive died after 3 years of intense use)
    (I have a mac book pro 13' from late 2011- 8go ram, 500go hard drive, and i5 double core)
    So, I have now my new clean hard drive inside the baby, and I turn it on, and load the CD of OS X SNOW LEOPARD bought on Apple s website)
    http://imgur.com/ZaAymMr
    Here I have the white screen. I click on the cd icon, and the BEEP BEEP BEEP .... BEEP BEEP BEEP .. And so on, so I force it to turn off.
    WHATS GOING ON??? I've heard that it's a ram issue, I removed it and placed it back up and there is still the issue...
    I you have any idea how to fix that pls tell me, thanks

    3 tones at startup is usually an indicator of a RAM issue:

    If you are using the White retail Snow Leopard disk to install that OSX, it will not work.  I have a late 2011 MBP and that disk and I have tried to do that thus I speak from experience.  (There is a way to install Snow Leopard but not that way).
    The proper way to install the original OSX is to boot the MBP with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys and follow the instructions.  This will require a solid Internet connection.  (This should install Lion)

  • New 60w power adaptor won't work on MBP 13 late 2011?

    I recently bought a new 60w power adaptor from the Apple Store to charge my late 2011 MBP 13. It seems to allow the MBP to run but won't charge the battery, LED light doesn't come on at all. If I plug the new charger into my 2010 Macbook it does charge and LED works as normal. If I then plug it back into the MBP the orange light will stay on for about 30 seconds then turn off, no green at the start as usual. Apple Support says I've bought the correct charger, is it a dud? What's going on?

    Correct, it is not MagSafe 2. I used the new charger this morning to charge an older Mac, then plugged it in again to my MBP and it worked normally. I charged the computer fully and unplugged it. After an hour of use I plugged it in again and got nothing from the new charger as before. The computer does respond to an older MagSafe charger, still L shaped and 60w and the new charger does work normally with two older MacBooks. Should I have bought a MagSafe2? Info is posted below. Thanks, Bill

  • Yosemite performance on MBP 13" Late 2011 4GB RAM ?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Mac Book Pro 13" Late 2011 with Mavericks and 4gb of RAM. I was wondering if anyone had the same system specs and had upgraded to Yosemite in order to know how it was running on their system ? Is it smooth ? The official requirements state 2gb of RAM but I'm really skeptical towards this.
    Thanks for your input. Cheers !

    I have the early 2011 MBP, 8 GB RAM, and I put a SSD in it (Samsung). I do some processor and memory intensive things, like audio recording and video editing, and I was not pleased with the performance in Mavericks until I put the SSD in.
    I think it will depend on what you are doing with your Mac. 4 GB of RAM is probably enough to check your email with, but not if you are doing more creative work. Unless you like to see the pretty spinning beachball.
    Regarding Adi's somewhat ranty note above, the usual cause for poorly performing Macs with OS X is crapware, like CleanMyMac, MacKeeper,  or third-party anti-virus software, and having 57 startup processes active along with Parallels or VMWare, and expecting it all to run with 4 gigs of RAM.
    Back to smashr: you can test drive Yosemite. If you make a Time Machine backup of your Mavericks installation, then you can easily go back to it if you don't like Yosemite. Alternatively, you can make a test partition on your HD and put Yosemite there.

  • Performance MBP 15" late 2011 vs rMBP 15" 2013

    Hi,
    I own a MBP 15" i7 quad core late 2011. It has got 8GB RAM and I added an extra SSD to replace my optical drive. So it now has got an SSD and a SATA, which is a very good combination now.
    Because the logic board has been broken due to the GPU failure, I have to pay more than $700 to replace it. Since many people is encountering the same problem and apple refuses to acknowledge the issue, they won't repair it under warranty. For that, I'm afraid that after the replacement the failure would accur again because I already replaced the logic board last year.
    So, maybe I was thinking of buying the rMBP 15" but it costs a lot of money, approx $2600. How much difference will this rMBP perform compared to my model? I'm not willing to pay so much money for a marginal extra performance. Retina is cool but not necessary.

    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).

  • MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 - Internal Microphone Not Working

    Hey everyone, I've been having trouble with my internal microphone on my 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro every so often. In the Sound preferences, Internal Microphone (Built-in) has been selected on the Input tab, the input volume is on full and the audio port has been set to Sound Output so the internal mic is the only input source. However, there is no signal detected by the input level bar. There's also no input on Skype, which is the main thing I use the internal mic for. I do have an external microphone by means of a headset, although I have to set up a small mixer to have a headphone and microphone input and this takes some time, which I do use but sometimes, for convenience, I'd rather just be able to use the internal mic and use some headphones in the built-in output.
    I can't figure out why it doesn't seem to activate, usually a restart activates the mic but I haven't had much success doing this today, and really, the mic shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
    If anyone can shed some light onto this, please do!
    Thanks in advance,
    LiamWatson28.

    You may try a PRAM reset.  If that does not resolve the issue, make an appointment at the Apple store Genius bar.
