MBP Mid 2010 screen glitch on OS X Lion

I wish i can show you a picture but the glitch happens so quick i cant take a screen shot. But what it is basically for like a second it shows the desktop image over google chrome when i used it. It doesnt show it completely. Its only a portion of the screen and it has like black squares or something on it. Anyone else having the same issue? It's really weird. Maybe it's just google chrome that has the issue. And also when im watching videos like on netflix. Maybe it has something to do with the adobe flash issues that have some up due to OS X Lion update.

Same here, I'm running Lion on the mid-2010 13" MBP and get similar issues. Recently I got similar problem with Adium as well, but mostly Chrome. I think this is a graphics driver issue.
The 2010 MBPs were running 32-bit kernel in 10.6 and now they run a 64 bit kernel by default. I'm thinking of rebooting into 32 bit mode and running it like this for a few days to see whether the graphics issues will persist.
If you want to try it yourself, reboot the computer and hold the 3 and 2 buttons on the keyboard to boot the 32 bit kernel. After you boot start up Activity Monitor and check "kernel_task", in the "Kind" column it should say "Intel" and NOT "Intel (64 bit)"

  • MBP mid 2010 - 15" 2,4Ghz (Battery Problem)

    Hi guys.
    I have a MBP mid 2010. My battery wont last more that 4.30 hours.
    I have tried more than enough times to test' it.
    Last Night with fully charged battery I was able to get 4.40 Hours.
    Bluetooth OFF
    Low monitor brightness
    Low keyboard illumination
    Air Port was on.
    Basically web browsing and 4 or 5 youtube videos.
    Did not make any software instalation or updates.
    4.30 hours its just to low.
    BTW it as 37 full charges
    My work laptop wich is a Dell Latitude E6400 with a 9cell battery I get more than 5 hours. And it as way more full charge cycles.

    Certainly not... but I'd rather source a complete antiglare clamshell lid and slap it on myself thus upgrading the machine, as long as I know I wouldn't have to replace the logic board as well... I've done plenty of surgery on notebooks, from removing a stuck business-card shaped CD from a 12" PowerBook G4 (requiring *complete* disassembly of the machine) to swapping ThinkPad T61 motherboards into T60 chassis creating a 15" 4:3 IPS FrankenPad which can take 8GB of ram... so I can handle swapping a display.
    Local apple store hasn't told me clearly whether or not it's possible, just that they will only replace it with the original screen...
    I can only find one logic board part # for a 2.4GHz mid-2010 15" MBP, which suggests to me that upgrading the screen should be no problem, but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it or can give a definitive answer as to whether or not it's possible...

    Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
    Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
    If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
    Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

    Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
    So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Can I system restore a purchased mbp mid 2010 but keep the upgraded OS?

    I purchased a used MBP mid 2010 and had the seller meet me at the apple store. After I verified the computer was not stolen I asked to have it factory wiped, but they said I needed an appointment. Now I've read directions on this forum on how to restore it myself, is it the same technique they use in the store? Can I restore this machine and keep mavericks or must it be restored to the original OS?

    fastcash124,
    when Mavericks is downloaded from the Mac App Store, it is non-transferable; the seller should have wiped it from the internal drive before selling it to you. Once you’ve done a clean reïnstallation of Snow Leopard and run Software Update to get it to Mac OS X 10.6.8, you can then download and install your own (non-transferable) copy of Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • After ML upgrade, MBP mid 2010 crashes or freezes when connecting/disconnecting apple cinema display, specially when is put to sleep.

    After upgrading to ML, when I connect my MBP mid 2010 to my Cinema Display system crashes, if I close the mac to put it to sleep, it freezes, if I pull the power cord and then disconnect the cinema display,  it freezes to black. 
    Bottom line... MBP + ML + Cinema Display = Useless aluminum can.
    Any Help??? .... Please????

    I have exactly the same problem.  I found that unplugging the Cinema display (both from the MB and power) and re-connecting did exactly nothing, but that the MS Windows solution works:  Reboot your machine.
    Note:  the problem comes up when the display sleeps, not the computer.
    We are really making progress here with the evolution of OSX!  NOT!

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.
    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

  • Are mac book pros mid 2010 capable of upgrading to mountain lion?

    are mac book pros mid 2010 capable of upgrading to mountain lion?

    Yes.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • 15" MBP Mid-2010 (6,2) SMC 1.7 Broke my MBP

    Hi All,
    My beloved 15" Mid 2010 MacBook Pro is not well and is sitting on life support and is only barely amongst the living.  On the 23rd Feb 2013 I noticed the SMC 1.7 firmware update in my AppStore App (this firmware was released on the 13th of Feb if I can recall correctly) and unfortunately I clicked install.
    The update started to install and then stated that my Battery should be charged (it was 100%) and power plugged in (it was) and requested a reboot to which I clicked yes.  Started rebooting and installing the firmware and rebooted once or twice automatically and then after the final reboot, screen black and no Apple Power boot sound.  I left it for 5mins and then thought ok, maybe its powered down.  Pressed the Bower button and all I could hear was the CD-Rom powering and no display and no sound.  I tried the PRAM reset, SMC reset but nothing. The following day I took it to our only Apple Center (Live in Windhoek,Namibia) in the Country. The next day they phoned and said that my Logic Board is faulty. I told them that my MBP was perfect until the stupid SMC update.  They told me that I can leave a kidney and a peace of my liver as for the repair costs will be something like US$900 or I could buy a second hand Logic Board for something like US$500.
    This is a no go for me as for all was fine up until the SMC update came through. As for I had nothing to loose now anymore, I opened the MBP and removed the Battery and with the power cord disconnected and holding the Power Button for a couple of seconds and while holding the Power Button, connecting the power cord and after a few seconds releasing the Power Button again, my MBP started up.  Problem now is that my Fans run 100% and the keyboard backlight is dead and the battery does not charge nor is seen by the MBP.  I can now switch it off an back on and my MBP will power up and boot into OSX.  If I do a SMC reset (holding shift control option while pressing power button), I am back where I started - MBP not power on, but battery charges again etc.  Doing the whole battery removal again with power button pressing and only then connecting the power cord, it starts again.
    After booting into OSX, I had a look at my system profiler and now see that the SMC version is 1.70f6 and as per this page http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237 , my version should have flash 1.58f17 - Seems like there was a bug in Apple's SMC 1.7 Firmware code it it thought that my 15"MBP was a 17"MBP and now my SMC does not talk propperly with my hardware it seeems.  I maild the Apple Guys here in Windhoek about my findings and asked them to get in contact with the Apple Geniouses overseas to find out if they could downgrade the SMC again or if they have a fix, but they don't want to help and just sayed I must have a look on www.apple.com/support and downloads and search for my SMC version and install.
    That does not work as for the packages just say its not for my version - well my version is not for my MBP! 
    Is there maybe somebody that can help me or should I just throw my MBP away, of maybe wait 2 years in hope that another SMC version will come out that will load the propper SMC code onto my MBP?  Please Guys and Girls out there - any manual way maybe of forcing a SMC firmware downgrade or reapplying the propper code of version 1.7?
    Please and keeping fingers crossed.
    Mark

    Ok, it has now been three months since the last SMC 1.7 firmware update broke my mid-2010 15” MacBook Pro and having had it at two different Apple “Certified” technical centers and both told me that there is nothing that Apple can do except for replacing the Logic Board for something like US$ 500.  I was not going to pay that amount for a 2010 MacBook to have its LogicBoard replaced so I unfortunately went out and bought a new MacBook Pro last month.  Why unfortunately .............  BECAUSE I MANAGED TO FIX MY OLD MBP :-) 
    As of yesterday,  I personally see a Apple “Genius” on the same level as the Petrol Attendants here in Africa that fill up your car!  They know you need fuel to be able to drive your car, but that is where their knowledge or drive to figure something out stops.  Ok, I am still very upset of having to fork out so much money for nothing.  And yes, I do not like Apple personnel anymore, but I cannot live without my Apple machine (that is why I bought another when my old one was thought of being pushing up daisies).
    I only managed to do this as for I had a brick lying around and I could not live with the idea that nothing can be done by recovering or downgrading the SMC firmware except for replacing the LogicBoard.  I can also not imagine that Apple Personnel do NOT have a low level firmware recovery tool for the MBP 2010 and above models.
    Ok, how did I fix it? By pure luck and by putting 1 and 1 together and getting 11 and not two :-)
    If you happen to have a SMC firmware update that went bad on your machine, in my case the SMC 1.7 has three models SMC updates in one file and it loaded the wrong version onto my MacBook Pro, you can try the following:
    Symptom:
    MacBook Pro does not want to power up.  You can only hear the CDRom making some noise and screen stays black and MBP powers off again.
    Do this only if there is no other way around and when our of Warranty.  Do this at your own risk.
    The Fix:
    Disconnect power
    Open MBP and disconnect/remove the battery - close the back cover again
    While power is still disconnected, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds and then while pressing and holding the power button, connect the power cable to the MBP.
    If you are lucky, your MBP will now power up with the fans blazing at 100% and keyboard backlight will be off.  This seems to be a recovery emergency mode or something.  If you MBP did not power up, try again. If your MBP does not power up then you have a different problem and don’t need to continue the following steps.
    Boot you OSX and go onto the Internet and Download the right SMC firmware version for your MBP from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Mount/Open the .dmg file and copy out the “Firmware”.pkg file.
    Use Pacifist or the command line to extract the content of the .pkg file.
    In my case the Apple SMC update had three models firmware in  the .pkg file and the correct one for the Mid-2010 15” model was in the folder SMC18 or something.  Find your correct model firmware for your MBP and copy out the following two files:  SmcFlasher.efi and 2010MBP15.smc  (the 2010MBP15.smc will be different for other MBP models)
    Copy those two files onto the OSX disk drive to a location that you can remember like /User/username/Dowloads/smc  or where ever.
    Google and search for rEFIt .  This is a boot loader app the will take over the boot process when you start up your MBP to enable you to go into a shell utility.  Read up on how to install and how to activate the refit utility.  When installed and enabled, the next time you reboot your MBP you will see the utility start up before your OSX boots.
    If you see the rEFIt utility start after you rebooted the MBP, use the arrow on your keyboard and select shell and press enter.  The shell.efi utility will start to boot in a “DOS” like window and after you see something where it wants to configure or setup something, just press ESC to cancel that.
    After the util booted, you need to first change to your internel disk with the command “ fs1:”  that is F S ONE Colon then Enter, standing for filesystem 1
    Now you can change to the folder to where you copied the two firmware files like : 
    cd Users
    cd username
    cd Downloads
    cd smc
    There are different ways of going to the folder or find the place where you put the files.
    After finding the folder with the two files you can start the update process.
    First need to get the SMC into the right state
    SmcFlasher.efi -reset 1
    Your MBP fans should now quiet down.
    Lets Flash :-)
    SmcFlasher.efi -force -LoadApp 2010MBP15.smc -norestart
    Your SMC should now be flashing with the right version.  Once done, power down the MBP. Power the MBP back on and do a SMC reset and all should be fine now.  You can now connect the battery again and start using your MBP.
    Hope this helps somebody.  No Warranty and this is done AT OWN RISK!

  • MBP Mid 2010 Keyboard Keys Issue

    I have purchased a 10.6.3 disc from the Apple Store. I reinstalled my HDD BUT...when registering, that section, when I pressed the "S" or "D" key it typed "ds". When I pressed the "O" or "P" key it typed "op" and if I press the "Esc" key it typed "op". No this is so crazy. On a sticky note I pressd the "X" key and nothing typed but I heard a "tum tum" sound from the speaker - so weird!
    There are also not working:
    Airport
    Ethernet
    Backlight
    I reinstalled my mbp because I was having issues with the hard drive so I have changed it. The next strange thing is I had to remove the isight cable from logic board because it was preventing the mac from booting up from hdd or dvd - more weird!
    I have no warranty, not external keyboard and I only have the 10.6.3 installation disc. I doubt its an software issue. I dont mind replacing parts but Im not sure if the top case w/keyboard is gone or the logic board or both!
    Model MBP is A1278
    Any help?

    If you have the problem described in a MacBook pro 6,2, print out a copy of that article and take it with you to your Apple dealer. Ask them to run the SPECIAL diagnostic for this problem.
    TS4088- MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    If it fails, they will repair your MacBook, possibly by sending it for repair at a regional depot. Make sure you have current backups before you go.
    If it passes, you may have to find other workarounds, such as going back to 10.7.

  • How to stop MBP mid 2010 having lots of Kernel Panics?

    I got my first MBP in mid 2010...by that time it was the high end 15' MBP (Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB). After 4-5 months of purchasing it I started having a lot of crashes out of the blue (so called Kernel Panic). First, I thought it was related to the iDVD app, but later it was crashing randomly. At Apple Store they formatted the computer, repaired permissions and all that kind of stuff, no luck. After that Apple made a complete restoration of the entire system, no luck. Apple then changed the HD, no luck. Then they said it should be something on the logic board, but the store manager was kindly enough to replace the laptop for a completely new one!!! After Mavericks came out (might be just a coincidence) I started having crashes again. At first, they were very rare so I didn't care that much. However, it started to crash all the time that make it impossible to work with (5 times in a row). I decided to take the computer to an Apple authorised repair shop. After running all the tests they told me that the HD data cable and also the HD was failing. Replaced it all by myself, which was very easy, installed OS 10.9.5 and guess what? Still crashing...I tried all sorts of tests: 1) Run the OS from an external HD, crashes! 2) reinstall the system many times, crashes! 3) I did not install any third party apps, still crashes!....and no luck whatsoever....as a matter of fact it crashes most frequently with Safari app previous ones and now the 7.1 version. After researching I noticed that this model might have a problem with the graphics (which was no detected in the Apple authorised repair shop, cause I asked the representative many times about it)... After all this, I guess the problem could be a bug with Mavericks (but that could be just a coincidence) or this MBP model was destined to suffer from this and it is just a matter of "when" it will happen (maybe poor graphics?). I'm felling frustrated and hopeless....Any thoughts to stop this problem will be much appreciated. Thanks,

    Thanks in advance for any help! I hope I got right all the info you requested. There you go:

  • What screw size do I need for the HDD data cable in 15" MBP (mid-2010)?

    In what turned out to be the most frustrating night of my life, I decided to upgrade my mid-2010 15" MBP from the factory 256GB HDD to a 1TB drive. All was well until the ultra-cheap internal screws stripped, which I have heard is a big problem. I finally got the mounts out with a little force, and then accidentally tore the HDD data cable.
    So when I tried to unscrew the small screws with precision and care to replace the data cable, those screws ALSO stripped. I managed to get one out, but the other one was stuck, and even the Genius at Apple said they couldn't do anything for me because their methods of extraction could possibly ruin my upper case.
    So I ended up just cutting the rest of the HDD cord around the last remaining stuck screw. I've included a picture below, the screw that remains is the one with the red circle around it.
    So the real question: I lost the other screw, so I have no idea what size it is and if I can buy it from a local hardware or electronics store, or is it something I will need to special order?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Screwed by a simple harddrive replacement

    Hey Courcoul, thanks for your response. I saw that they have the screw set, but I want to avoid paying $60 for the whole set when all I need is the two tiny ones. Sure, I could keep the rest as spares, but I think I've learned my lesson about messing with the internals.
    Actually, it's out of stock so I couldn't buy it if I wanted
