Yosemite macbook pro early 2011 camera light blinks

I tried to find a similar question that I saw with a Google Search but couldn't find here... But I REALLY like the Yosemite upgrade... I have problems with FaceTime - sometimes I hang up and it continues to ring, and can not connect as reliably as I could in the past with Mavericks... Also, I have noticed that the light near my camera blinks from time to time... On another post, the guy/gal listed when he noticed it blinking... A bit scary as I wonder if when it is blinking it is secretly taking m picture and sending it to some remote location... I use Little Snitch so doubt that pictures are being exfiltrated without my knowledge, but you never know... But bottom line is that I LOVE the Yosemite upgrade! Upgraded relatively smoothly on my MacBook Pro early 2011... upgraded a few of the apps (free upgrades) and after that, and a couple reboots to make sure the upgrades were in place - all is REAL GOOD... GOOD JOB Apple OS/X developers on Yosemite!!!

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

MBP - 2011 13" HD Camera in avg / low light ...

Mine is very "noisy".
I expected better.
Almost seems worse than older MB Pro's in low light.
Are they all the same ?

The smaller the sensor, and the higher its resolution, and the lower the available light level, the more noise it records. This has been a fact of life in digital photography from its beginnings. The sensor behind your MBP's camera lens is smaller than that in any handheld digital camera, its lens is far smaller and admits less light, and the sensor has just gotten a big boost in resolution. More noise in low light is an inevitable result. Expecting anything different is unreasonable.

MBP 2011 or MBP 2012?

First time here, please bare with me. So I've alway been a PC but now that my hard drive has failed I really want to get a Mac. The new MBP retina 2012 just came out and I have been waiting for it since the release of MBP 2011 (because I waited for my PC to stop working then get a new one). However, I have been hearing that if you had a MBP 2011 then it's not worth the upgrade. So if it's not worth the upgrade then why buy it and not just get the MBP 2011? The MBP 2012 is as expensive as the MBP 2011 2.6 GHz and it doesn't have the ethernet port or optical drive which I would like to have. I know that there is the ethernet- USB cord but that just takes up a USB port and I would have to buy it. Apple being apple I know it will be expensive. Also, wouldn't it just be a retina display upgrade and not much more? I don't know too much about the hardware but what I've read is that the hardware of the MBP 2012 is difficult to fix or upgrade and you would end up having to buy a new on if things didn't work out. They're so expensive I would only like to buy one.
I'm really not sure what to do. I'm thinking that I should get the MBP 2012 because it's a upgrade and since I will be keeping it forever. I need to make a decision before I start school again. Please help. Is the MBP 2012 worth it with it being so new and there are still bugs/kinks for it to be worked out? Or should I just get the MBP 2011 at the same price?

The newly released line has both the macbook pro and the macbook pro with retina display. You can buy the macbook pro (non retina version to lower the bottom line) and still enjoy the benefits of the new 2.6 quad core processor (if you are comparing the 15") and configuring your hardrive as needed/ affordable. The non retina version can be upgraded in the future but your buying as much computer as your budget allows. You also get the thunderbolt connection (1), usb 3, firewire, superdrive, ethernet (if any of those things you are currently using) ......puts you in a good position as things continue to change. Which they will. If upgradability is an important factor than the non retina may be a consideration.
I personally am trying to determine whether I can live without the firewire and drive, while determining the value of the newely added HDMI the retina has to offer.
Good luck.

Mini DisplayPort - VGA and MBP 2011 not working

Hi,
I can't get my 13" mbp 2011 to connect to VGA screens. I've bought a mini DisplayPort to VGA converter (an Apple one, not a no name) and if I connect a display over VGA the screen stays black. My mbp recognizes the display, I can see the display's model, resolution etc but no signal. I've tried multiple screens, none work.
I don't have other converters so I can't test if HDMI screens for example do work.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have a 2011 13" i7 and am having the same issue when connecting it to my LG TV through the HDMI adapter. However when I connect it to my HP external monitor it works but it's VERY blurry... so blurry that it hurts the eyes to look at it for more than a few mins.
My previous MBP (2010 13") works fine however with both the TV and monitor. I even reconnected it just to make sure and they both work flawlessly.
I only have 14 days total to return this new MBP and 5 of those days are used up so if I can't get this fixed by then I have no choice but to return it and go back to my old MBP.

No 1920x1080 output to external monitor from MBP 2011 OSX 10.6.8

Hi, I have a MBP 2011 running OSX 10.6.8.
I have recently purchased an Asus ML249H Monitor and the Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable 10 ft (3 m) MDPHD10FT.
The monitor should display at 1920x1080 natively but does not. The MBP max output resolution is 1600x900 on this screen. Is this a known issue with the MDPHD10FT cable or is it OSX? What it the work around to get 1920x1080.
Thanks

i had to go into iCal Preferences and delete my account and then put it back in. Everything is working fine, now.

My MBP 2011 can't detect microphone, why?

My internal microphone works perfectly fine but when I insert an external microphone, my MBP fails to detect it. When I go to System Preferences>Sound>Input, nothing changes in the "Line In" area when I plug in my microphone. When I try to speak into my microphone, it's not picking up any sound at all. My headphone port works fine.
NOTE: My MBP 2011 went in for a logic board replacement/repair 2 weeks ago at an Apple Store. Is it possible this microphone issue is caused by a logic board problem?

This because line level is not Mic level, line level requires about 60 dbv/dbu or more or less of electrical gain (depending on voltage in to load specifications, db short for decibel is not necessarily a measuremet of SPL, sound pressure level, it is a mathematical equation reducing complex equations to a unit of measurement to use in math expressions...very simply put) than a microphone can generate.
You would need a mic pre-amp/mixer to provide a line signal, a mic can not provide anywhere near this level.
This is a very simplified explanation of the electrical therory at work here, and I don't think you are probably interested reading quite complex math equations that "crunch these numbers.
If you do an online search you will find a plethora of pre-amps that will boost this level up to line level, or you can look in to something like the Griffin iMic USB interface which will allow you to use a mic level signal into your USB port easily and affordably.

Backlight keyboard issue (MBP 2011)

Well I installed Lion and my MBP 2011, brand new illuminates when starting up. It goes bright then dims down to the setting I have (off). It's annoying but how can you stop it from illuminating at start up. I tried a SMC reset for my intel MBP i7 computer. Any other suggestions?

Try System Preferences>Keyboard and UNCHECK 'Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light'.
Ciao.

MBP 2011 Early fans issue

Hi, i've recently bought brand new MBP 2011 (early) version, and i wanna know is it ok when fans becoming so noisy when i play the game, or run some huge application. I worried about that this can harm my laptop. thanks.

the fans spin up when the computer is under heavy load, as a result they get quite noisy in order to disapate the heat generated by the Processor and Graphics Card, also these computers generate a vast temperatures that the fans can just about cope with, under load i have seen my 2.2GHz i7 2011 Macbook Pro hit 92-95 degrees Celcius far too warm in my opinion.

Is it possible to transport the MBP 2011 in standby mode in a business trolley on wheels or can this damage the HDD?

Hey there!

Thx!

Ok, thanks to everyone! Unfortunately there is no "right" answer, i think!? I have to try it! Thx a lot to everyone!!!

Upgraded to Maverick, now MBP 2011 has black screen while booting

I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Maverick, and I am already regretting it. Upon installation, my MBP (2011) was running slow, so I restarted it. Now, when my Mac is trying to boot, the brightness is at (roughly) 25%, and I can barely see what's happening. It looks like the loading cursor is present onscreen. The good news is that I can hear the startup chime. However, after 10-15 seconds, the screen fades to black. When I press any key, I can hear the default error sound. I tried Command+R, but that didn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure what happened. Upon the umpteenth time restarting the laptop, the scree is now at 100% brightness. I was able to log in as well. All is good.

I took a really good picture with my MBP isight camera through ichat?

This might seam like a dumb questions. But I need to get the buddy picture photo I took through ichat, using my MBP internal camera. Where can I find the photo on my computer. Tried Recent Photos, iPhoto library, can't find it. Clues?

(1) If you took it using the iChat > Video > Take Snapshot command, it is on your desktop, entitled "Video Snapshot." If you took more than one snapshot, the names will be "Video Snapshot-x" where x is a number.
(2) If you took it with the iChat > Change My Picture... command, it is in your
User/Library/Images/iChat Recent Pictures folder unless you have changed the folder location in the choices bar at the top of the "Buddy Picture" dialog window that for this command.
If you changed the location, it will be wherever you saved it. If you do not remember, you can try looking for the file name "Recent " with Spotlight. If Spotlight can find images that start with "Recent ", you can manually view the ones you made on a particular date to see if you recognize the one you want.

After SMC reset, MBP 2011 with Yosemite OS cannot restart

My MBP 2011 which I recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite has been giving me endless problems when it restarts or reboots. when the power button is turned on, it starts up with an apple icon with a loading bar below it. The bar progress rather slowly and somewhere before reaching the halfway mark, the whole computer shuts down and restarts by itself. This process can actually go on for like 24 hours without a single break and the last experience I had was thaynir has been restarting and shutting down for the past 72 hours!!! Finally, I did a SMC reset by removing the battery cable, pressing the power button without the battery (5secs) and got the unibody assembled, plugged in the MagSafe and tried turning it on.
to my utter shock, after the SMC reset the MBP now cannot be turned on, no lights indicated at the MagSafe and it is completely dead. What do I do??? Please help folk!

You need to take it to your local Apple Store and have it checked by a Genius. Thats the best and safest option available to you now.

MBP 2011 freezes and Kernal panic using Netflix?

Anyone have an issue with MBP 2011 13" i5 16G RAM freezing while using Netflix? Genius Bar diagnosed it as a bad motherboard. This issue started over a year ago the screen goes black and get three beeps chime sometimes i have to reset the RAM in order to clear it.

Just one more thing - the description of what i did while first Kernel appeared:
Happened 2 days ago. Wasn't turning it off for like a day, only sleep mode by closing it. Worked fine all day, wasn't doing anything, except for checking mail 2-3 times and having windows 7 virtual machine opened but doing nothing, everything was going fine. Then closed it without turning off.
Opened 3-4 hours later, everything was working fine for 30 minutes of checking mail, then Kernel appeared. After that pretty much everything i did is described in part 1-5.
Note: all the time MBP was connected to internet via wifi, so updates to both MBP and virtual machine of all programs were possible.
I only shared downloads and desktop folders, so windows couldn't have access to system folder of Mac Os.
Hope this might help...Thanks again.
