My Mac book pro 2011 seems to have lost its wifi card.  It was there until today.  Now message says wifi card is not installed.  What's happening?

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM:

On the SMC, you want the process for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • Mac book pro 2011 iLIFE programs to MAC OS X MAVERICKS

    Hi,
    I have a mac book pro 2011 13" with os snow leopard and I'm wondering if, installing mac os x maveriks, I will lose my iphoto program and I must buy it after installing the new os x.
    Now I use and I have iLife programs free from Leopard but I was reading that the i Life packet will be free only on new users...
    Thanks a lot
    Andrea

    Wait it out for couple of hours.
    Hope you have a backup.
    If you have a backup ready, restart the computer.

  • My mac book pro 2011 never pass the grey screen.

    I have a mac book pro 2011, 17". For some reasons it just stop working. I have recovered the OS by holding command-R, the problem still persist. I follow the note provided by apple here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 . Unfortunately, I have lost the recovered CD that came with my computer. What are the solution for this case. Please, help if any one has any idea about this issue.
    The windows safe mode is working fine, but the Mac OS safe mode does not work. I have brought the computer to an apple technician to check for the hardware error using the tool provided by apple and found all hardwares to be ok. However, after try all the solution including internet recovery, the technician insisted that the mainboard is defected. What should I do to repair my computer?

    There is a grey spinny wheel that keeps spinning. Normally this stops and I get the login screen but now it just carries on endlessly

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
    thanx

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM. CAN YOU USE A EXSTERNAL CD ROAM ON A MAC?

    I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM? CAN YOU USE AN EXSTERNAL CD ROAM WITH A MAC?

    Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
    Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later.

  • Mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up.

    my mac book pro 13" 2010 beeps every 5 seconds at start up, will not boot up. Any ideas what is wrong?  Removed and re installed memory, that did not work.         
    Thank You   ecbrum

    If you're handy with tools, pop the bottom pan on the Mac, take out the RAM sticks, thoroughly clean the contacts on both the sticks and the Mac (blow clean with a compressed air duster on the Mac, use isopropyl alcohol on the contacts on the RAM sticks), reseat and reinstall the sticks and retry. If same, try swapping the RAM sticks. If you need pictorial assistance, see here: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+RAM/ 4319/1

    I have mac book pro and recently changed to Lion.  since then it will not recognise my epson r2880 printer telling me it is not connected when it plainly is with usb connection?

    Turn off your printer.
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
    Turn on your printer.
    Any difference?
    Here are some more tips from Apple Support article.

    To repair any hardware damage would require opening the phone up.
    Software, put the handset into DFU mode and try that, it's a basic operating system on the phone that does nothing other than process the firmware upgrade request
