My macbook pro (early 2011) freezes at gray screen and spinning gear and does not start up

I tried starting in safe mode but that process freezes as well. The final text says socket is not connected.

See this article. You might have damaged software, and you'll have to reinstall from the recovery mode, depending on which version of OSX you have.

  • Macbook pro early 2011 freezes, slow, weird fan noise + trackpad jumping around

    Hi guys, see the Etrecheck report below. My 13' Macbook pro (early 2011) has been very slow for the last few months, the fan makes a weird blowing noise (several fellow students have looked around what the **** that noise was when it started doing it), and recently started freezing when opening iTunes, OpenOffice and even Firefox.
    OH AND my trackpad has jumping around without me even touching it.
    What do you guys think? What's the problem, what can I do? IF I take it in how much do you think it might cost?

    I did as you suggested and it it's definitely not freezing as much, though a little bit still. Thanks though!
    Trackpad is also still jumping around, but I figured that might have to be replaced anyways.
    Anything else you recommend that I could / should do?

  • MacBook Pro (Early 2011) Freeze - How to collect system logs?

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) keep freezes at all times and hard reboot is only the available solution at. I'm having this problem from day one and spoke to AppleCare couple of times, but unable to resolve! Is there anyway to collect system logs from MacBook Pro running OS X Lion 10.7.2 to show it to Genius people at local Store?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    How to run hardware diagnostics for an Intel Mac
    Boot from your original OS X Installer Disc One that came with your computer.  After the chime press and hold down the "D" key until the diagnostic screen appears.  Run the extended tests for a minimum of two or three hours.  If any error messages appear note them down as you will need to report them to the service tech when you take the computer in for repair.
    Some "common" error indicators:
    SNS - sensor error
    MEM - memory error
    HDD - hard disk drive error
    MOT - fan error

  • Brand new MacBook Pro doesn't get past grey screen (with spinning gear)

    Hello,
    I'm a new Apple customer - I bought a new 15" MacBook Pro during the Black Friday sale last week. Since purchase, I've installed the software I needed (Office, CS4) and have used it to browse the web and write emails.
    Today when I tried to use it, I simply got to the grey screen with the Apple logo on it and the spinning gear device underneath - got absolutely no further.
    I have done the following (running from mains adaptor - but the battery indicator is reporting 7 lights anyhow):
    1. Boot from the OSX Install Disc, and run the disc repair utility. It reported no problems found. Restarted... same problem.
    2. Boot holding down SHIFT to go into safe mode. Underneath the spinning gears, a progress bar filled up to 100% and then disappeared; leaving the grey screen, logo, and spinning gears. Nothing further.
    3. Boot holding Option, P, R as per the manual to reset the PRAM. According to the manual there should have been a chime/beep - there wasn't. It just sits on the grey screen, logo, spinning gears. Nothing further.
    Right now I've got a £1300 MacBook Pro less than a week old and it appears to have just packed up.
    Am I missing anything here, or should I just return it?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Definitely take it back!
    My friend bought a new iMac from the Regents St. store a few weeks ago, just before the update to the new models came out, and after a week she couldn't get it to boot. I felt very embarrassed as I had persuaded to her to switch to Mac after years of PC woes, so a broken mac after a week didn't look do me any favours. The genius guys didn't mess around, they took back the dead one and gave her a new one, this time she got the new version, they also threw in iWork free as a good will gesture. New one is running fine.
    If you haven't already got Applecare, I highly recommend buying it within the next 12 months. I have needed it on a couple of occasions after the standard warranty ran out and the tech support has been brilliant, got me working again no quibbles.

  • Macbook pro early 2011 freeze up - any other's having issues? Any solutions?

    Hi - My Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 routinely crashes.  The mouse works, there's no spinning pinwheel, the display is fine, but the computer doesn't do anything.  It just sits there with the cursur available, but powerless. 
    Any similar experiences?  Any fixes?  I installed 16 Gig ram and it didn't fix the problem.  May have made it worse.

    You  have Avast installed which could be causing some problems for your Mac's operation. Use the Avast uninstaller and get rid of it.
    Boot into Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys together and use Disk Utility there to Repair your hard drive and repair disk permissions.
    Hope that helps.
    As for the shift key, you should take the computer to the Apple Genius Bar and have them look at it.

  • MacBook Pro (early 08) startup problem - gray screen!

    Hi there,
    Im new here on this forums so excuse me if solution of this problem is somewhere here, bud I didn't find it. So what going on...
    My MBP (early 08) randomly froze about three time last week. Each time after reset was every think okay. But this time it froze and after that I cant startup it. After pressing power button computer seem to start up HDD, optical drive etc., but screen remains black after about 30 sec appears gray screen but without Apple logo. And thats it, this is all I get no starup sound nothing.
    A tried to reset PRAM, EFI, SMC but nothing happened. I also put back original RAM modules but still nothing.
    Do you guys have any idea how to solve it? Unfortunately Im from Europe (Czech Rep.) so we do not have hare any retail store or something like Genius bar.
    I hope this is just silly motherboard problem, 'cause I do not want do visit authorized repair center here. Thanks so much for your advice.
    Jan

    If it is a "silly motherboard problem" you'll be visiting the repair center. Boot from your OS installer disk, select your language and from the menu select Disk Utilities. Run Repair Disk. Post back with the results.

  • Macbook Pro Stuck at Apple Logo (gray screen) and keeps restarting

    I've a problem with my Macbook Pro wherein it keeps getting stuck at the Apple Logo upon restarting (no spinning wheel). It eventually restarts itself maybe after 5 minutes but still keeps getting stuck in the grey screen where the Apple Logo comes up.
    I've tried restarting this with CMD+R  to do a "fsck -fy" and here's what I keep getting (attached picture). This screen eventually exits and my Mac restarts itself and gets stuck at the Apple Logo (grey screen).
    I think this maybe a HD problem (possibly some corrupt files). Any suggestions/similar experiences? Any chance this can be resolved without reinstalling OS X?
    Thank you!!!

  • Macbook pro is stuck on my home screen and will not respond to commands

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Lion this week and came home and opened my Macbook pro. It immediately came on, but took a minute or so for the cursor for the mouse to appear. At the top of the screen "Finder" is highlighted. Problem is, no matter what program I click on, the computer will not acknowledge anything. Help!

    First try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the Steps in this article to force the device into Recovery Mode.

  • My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) will constantly loose it's internet connection.

    Okay, so I have wireless internet service which works great. I have an android smartphone, an HP laptop and a MacBook Pro (early 2011). My android smartphone and my hp computer both connect perfectly to the wireless network. On the other hand, my Mac connects at times but it rapidly looses connection. All of the wifi bars on the mac appear as if the computer was connected, but there is no connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's getting very annoying because I have to turn my wifi (on the mac) on and off to get internet connection again. I would really like to receive uninterrupted internet coverage on all my devices, including my mac. PLEASE HELP!

    I am having the same issue. My macbook pro is one of the models from late last year. Within the past few weeks I have been getting disconnected from my wifi for no reason. It still shows that I am connected but nothing will load. When I dissconect and reconnect it loads up fine and everything works again, though in another 10 minutes it will crash again.

  • My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) is freezing nearly everyday?

    Hi
    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011, purchased at launch) is freezing nearly everyday. This problem exists for a long time (Since purchase). Whenever I let my macbook turned on, it freezes after some time. (Quite often in the night). I do not have any hardware hungry applications running. The freezes occure at normal usage. The only way to solve the freez is a complete hardreset.
    I do not have any idear why this problem occures.

    So, here is the copy of the console...
    the freeze must be happened at 06:51

  • Will a Macbook pro early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15

    My collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch keeps getting stuck on the apple load up screen everytime he hits the power button. He doesnt know what version it is and I forgot to write down the model number of it(Ill update May 16 at 10am PST). I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up. He can not find his installation disc that came with the computer. I have mine but its for Model # A1278 I think its snow leopard. Will the installation disc and application disc run successfully on my collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro?
    I apologize if there's a similar thread out there, I couldnt find one. -

    Will a MacBook Pro Early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 MacBook Pro 15?
    No it will not.
    Machine specific gray/back disks are for one model of Mac only as they only contain hardware drivers for that model, not previous ones.
    The 10.6.3 white Snow Leopard retail disk will work and it's available from Apple online for a small charge.
    My collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch keeps getting stuck on the apple load up screen everytime he hits the power button.
    I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up.
    This is indicative of a problem with the boot drive and the file structure retaining data on the drive.
    The progress bar progressing and stopping means the fsck drive repair is failing, likley the drive incurred head shock damage at that point.
    The boot drive itself is likely fine and the problem can be resolved but the disks are going to be required if it's running Snow Leopard.
    First get the disks, then attempt Disk Utility > Repair Disk and check the SMART status if the drive is still good.
    If there is no backup of data, get that off the machine using a external boot drive.
    To fix that problem of a bad sectors, unfortutly the entire drive will need to be Zero Erased (security option > zero all data) using Disk Uility while c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disks (using a wired or built in keyboard), it's the only way.
    This means all programs, files (remaining) and OS X will be removed in the process. You could replace the drive also.

  • 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 won't shutoff nor can I run disk utilities. Any suggestions?

    Situation:
    I have a 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 that I can not shutdown nor can I run disk utility to repair any issues. I recently had it serviced to replace a failing hard drive.
    Known issues:
         - Disk Utility: Will not respond. A couple days ago I had to run it to repair some damage to harddrive. When I try to open it, it is frozen with the rainbow ball.
         - Shutdown: I can not shutdown or restart my computer as it freezes during shutdown with grey screen. I can manually turn it on and off by holding down the      power button.
         - Disc Drive: This may not be related but I can not eject DVD in the disc drive.
    Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I currently live overseas (for school) so just going to an Apple store is not really a realistic option for me at this time. Thanks

    Take it back to where you had it serviced, there is usually a ~90 day guarantee
    you can force a shutdown by holding the power button for longer than usual.

  • Macbook Pro early-2011 crashing/locking-up

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro (early-2011 model 15") has been locking up and crashing lately. It was recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX.This has happened only a handful of randomn times over the past two months. I don't think it has to do with the OS version because it did this a couple months ago as stated when I had Lion, and also ML. However, in the past 24 hours i have locked up around 5 times and crashed at 3 times.  I've attached the crash report below from the latest crash this morning. I use one usb port to connect to a Dell monitor using DisplayLink adapter, and the other usb port goes to a 4-port usb hub that has my wired keyboard, mouse, and phones that I test with plugged into. The mini displayport goes to another Dell monitor. Can anyone help me determine the issue? Does it look to you like the RAM has been corrupted and needs replacing perhaps? Or maybe it is this usb hub causing memory crashes from having so much stuff plugged into it? Log below:

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011) doesn't detect display over mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter in Mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Hi to all.
    I have a problem connecting external display (Dell U2311H) to my 13" MacBook Pro (Early 2011).
    I use Tecklink Mini DasplayPort to HDMI adapter (http://www.techlink.uk.com/products/wires_cables/wiresmedia/wiresmedia_media/wir esmedia_mini_displayport_plug_to_hdmi_plug), but since U2311H doesn't have HDMI input, I also use Manhattan DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (http://www.manhattan-products.com/en-US/products/8101-displayport-adapter).
    And nothing.
    The display is not detected, no picture or even external monitor presence at all.
    I even reset PRAM, and installed 10.8.2 Supplementary update.
    I also plugged and unplugged all I could, with no luck.
    As I can see on Apple discussion, it is a common problem with 2011 MacBook Pro's.
    It seems like the problem is in Thundebolt port, it somehow does not work properly.
    If anyone has solved such ploblem, please let me know.

    In reply to my own post have to say appologies to Apple whose Thunderbold port I used to blame.
    Shame on me)
    So, what was my problem?
    Guess what?
    Manhattan DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter !
    The point is it's actually do only what it said to do, converts DP to HDMI.
    But I for some reason thought it can be used vice versa, to be HDMI to DP converter))
    I was wrong.
    I bought new one HDMI to DVI adapter and now I HAVE external display!
    Thunderbolt works like a charm.
    So I'm very satisfied now.
