My 2011 i7 15" Macbook pro will not work with hardware virtualization

I have a Mac Book Pro with an Intel i7 2.66 MHz chip and it will not support Hardware Virtualization. When I try to create a Virtual Machine in VMware Fusion it fails with the error that my MBP does not support "Hardware Virtualization".

clivefromcape town,
replacing a hard drive is one of the easier “surgeries” to do in a MacBook Pro; it really isn’t difficult.
Regarding my opinion on HDD vs. SSD, I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and I did a SSD “transplant” on it this past autumn. I’d chosen the 512 GB Samsung 840 PRO SSD; a major selling point for me was its five-year warranty, which I’d interpreted as being representative of Samsung’s best estimate of product return rates. Other people here have good things to say about the Crucial SSDs; I’ve never had one, so I can’t comment on them. My MacBook Pro certainly boots up faster and loads programs faster because of the SSD, but a SSD will not make programs run faster unless a program’s performance bottleneck is with disk access; most programs will not have such a bottleneck. Your recent RAM increase will probably help more with program run speed than a SSD would. That being said, I neither watch movies nor listen to music on my MacBook Pro; perhaps a SSD would help with movie playback, since that might be an example of a disk-bound program.

My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo and keeps asking for password.

My Contacts app for macbook pro will not connect with my yahoo account and repeatedly asks for yahoo password, any soliutions to this?

This is due to a change in Yahoo's security settings. You need to go into your Yahoo account settings and create a special App Password, then use that password in Contacts to access your account. Same goes for Calendar.

Hello Betty7,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.

My Early 2008 Macbook Pro will not boot with anything greater than 3GB of Ram.

Early 2008 Macbook Pro 4,1
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)
OS X 10.8.4
Serial: W88450LR1XR
I keep reading mixed reviews saying that 3GB is the max while others say this system supports up to 6GB. I have tried both Kingston and Crucial and PNY and I get the same results. I can have 1x2GB stick and 1x1GB stick but not 2x2 GB sticks. Both 2 GB sticks work independently but they will not work together. They are PC2-5300 667 MHz.
I would really love to have at least 4 GB of ram in this computer. Is it not possible?
Thanks in advance.
Symptoms:
If I put 2x2 GB in the computer and power it up, the little light on the front of the computer comes on but the screen stays black. No post beeps or anything to indicate a failure or that it's running (except the light that comes on when I hit the power button)

Ok - so no one is replying. I just contacted Other World Computing who says that my Laptop will support up to 6GB of ram. I just ordered the memory directly from them. I have 6GB in the mail and should arrive tomorrow. I will report that if their guarenteed ram will work.

Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

Me too. sigh
All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
Puzzled and frustrated,

DVD player on Macbook pro will not work

I have a couple of problems with my Macbook pro:
1. it will not recognise any devices all of a sudden i.e my camera
2. DVD player will not work and keeps coming up with an error message.
please help

Help us help you by posting more info:
MacBook Pro variant and screen size (there have been many since the MBP was introduced 8 years ago)
Mac OSX version
If the DVD failure with burned disks or commercial DVDs? Will it mount a commercial CD?
If you don't know your MBP version and your OS version is 10.7 or higher, you can get it by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button to get this:

MacBook Pro will not sleep with lid open, but now solved, very odd.

I bought a 2.4 GHz MBP about a week ago, as soon as I got it home I reinstalled the OS and zero-out the drive. Everything appears to work perfect until I noticed that the MBP will not sleep with the lid open.
But...
Close the lid, it sleeps.
Select sleep from menu, it sleeps.
Let the battery drain down with lid open, laptop sleeps.
Whent thru painful troubleshooting process, reseting things, permissions, what is installed, running programs...blah blah blah, nothing no difference.
So, backup the drive using superduper to external firewire and reinstall all over again, just like i did when i first got home, except I did not let it connect to the internet. I went thru and setup everything then connected and performed each update, one at a time looking for what might hinder the sleep process.
And the result is a big fat zero.
Same install process as i did the first time, and same updates as the first time. But now the laptop sleeps perfectly.
Gotta love computers, so very consistant
Just my .02 input on this wacky issue.

Try trashing these 3 .plist preferences and reboot. Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.AutoWake.plist & com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Also, look at your system logs in your Console application and see what is causing the "wake event." It could be hardware-related. Do you have any external devices attached, such as a mouse or hub? I've seen Bluetooth problems with wireless BT mice.

Macbook Pro Retina not working with HDMI

I have a Mac Book Pro Retina that will not work using the HDMI port. I have tried with two Monitors and difference cable and the issue happens on both. I connected one via a Display Port to VGA and it works fine.
I'd like to use the HDMI port. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (Latest Version).
I have tried deleting the pref panes as outlined in ofther links. Aslo reset pram without sucess.
Is anyone using a Macbook Pro Retina with builtin HDMI port sucessfully with 10.8.4?
If you are using HDMI with Display port let me know if I should get an adpater to test.

Hi walkerheather,
It sounds like you've already done most of the pertinent steps here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
I would recommend going through once and trying anything you may have missed in the section "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" and then follow these steps from the very bottom:
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical support or take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
Take care,

My Macbook Pro will not start with battery connected.

I have a Macbook Pro which I purchased in 2011 and recently it would not start. I later disconnected the battery and plugged it in and it now works but only without the battery disconnected. When it would not work and the battery was connected, the battery lights indicated that it was fully charged. Any suggestions?

Was this a used MBP, the 2011 MBPs only have internal batteries. How did you disconnect the battery?
This behavior sounds like a failure or fault in the batttery circuit and the only way to diagnose that is by taking the MBP to an Apple store genius bar or Apple authorized service center to have the techs run their tests.

My MacBook Pro will NOT charge with a MacBook Charger.... TEMP FIX.

MacBook Pro will not shutdown with external HD Screen

I have been working with the same configuration for over a year with no problems. I have an external 20" HD screen that I use with my MacBook Pro (cover of mbp is closed not dual screen use) and an external keyboard and mighty mouse. Ever since upgrading to Leopard, when I select Shutdown from the apple menu the computer goes through the shutdown process and the screen goes dark. When I go to unplug the monitor and keyboard the front light is pulsing on and off like it is in sleep mode and NOT shut down. I open the cover but nothing happens, I try to wake it up but it won't wake up. I can hear the fans running and even after 20 minutes in this mode the bottom feels hot so it is as if the processor is working.... I usually have to open the lid and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds to actually get it to shut down... Anyone else having this problem or know what it could be?

I have exactly the same problem. Moreover when trying to wake up my Macbook Pro 15 inch (bought end October 2007) running Leopard 10.5.1 after use with an external screen, at work and at home, it wakes up but I often loose keyboard access, both internally and externaly, and both external and internal screens go black. Under these conditions the computer starts heating up and the fans start spinning. The only possible intervention left is to reboot the machine. This has already led to two hard disk crashes and a motherboard being replaced (all within two months), but the issue continues. Now, I noticed the following: when I boot the MacBook Pro by pressing the power switch while it is connected to an external keyboard and screen and I close the lid, it boots normally into one of the user accounts. When I now switch to another user account the external screen presents the additional window without the menu bar (mouse is active) as if the the primary window (with the menu bar) would be presented on the internal screen. However, when I open the lid the internal screen remains black. The new user account is active though since mail messages come in as normal with a beep. When I want to force the Macbook through a sleep and wakeup cycle to activate both screens they stay black and I loose all keyboard and mouse control and I have to reboot. After all this I am afraid to reboot and force a third disk crash. Has anybody experienced the same, or a similar, problem?

MacBook Pro will not pair with any Bluetooth device

Last night my MacBook Pro stopped pairing with any bluetooth device (I've tried Apple Pro Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mighty Mouse, Logitech MX900 mouse, Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard) and it simply won't pair with anything.
It sees each device but when it tries to pair it fails. With the keyboards, sometimes it'll give me the passkey to type on the keyboard but then it doesn't recognize that I've actually typed it and hit enter. Eventually I just end up with:
"The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." When ready, click Continue to try again."
I've reinstalled 10.5.6 Combo update, tried to pair under a different user account, turned off/on bluetooth, and still nothing.
I did install VMWare Fusion last night and briefly shared the Bluetooth connection to that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Any suggestions?

Me too. sigh

MacBook Pro will not work without external powersource

Hello all,
I have (and love) my MBP. I've never had issue with it until tonight. My battery is at 100% charged, but when I unhook the Magsafe power source, the MPB shuts off instantly - and will not spool up until it is plugged back in.
Any ideas?

Check your System Profiler (Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info, click on Power). Post the Battery Information and Charger stats here, please.
Here are mine, for example (currently on battery, need to plug in soon):
*Battery Information:*
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 5825
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1211
Amperage (mA): -1972
Voltage (mV): 10404
Cycle Count: 71
*AC Charger Information:*
Connected: No
Charging: No

Why does my Macbook pro 1226 not work with my new Apple USB Superdrive? USB works otherwise but when I connected my new drive it clicks and then thats it. I put the DVD in but it doesn't grab it or attempt to access it at all.

Hi Everone,
I purchased my 2007 Macbook pro 1226 online for a song and other than this annoyance i've been very satisfied. But lately i'm missing the use of my internal super drive to view DVD's (Always seem to miss what we don't have Grrr). So I figured I would purchase a brand new USB Apple Superdrive, problem solved right? NOPE. Now I've found that my pro doesnt seem to like it one bit and all USB's work fine so it's not that.
I will be disapointed if this can not be resolved, My Macbook is otherwise perfect and better than any new PC I've ever had.
Can Someone try and help me please?

I do know that for new MBPs there is a no questions asked return policy if returned within 14 days of purchase. I am not certain if that applies for peripherals. If you have not damaged it, I would think that the odds are on your side if you return it for a refund. Obviously you have a good reason for the return.
Then it may be a good reason to purchase a new MBP. In any event, call the store and ask.
Ciao.
