Spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Windows 7, burning up

Hello!
My MacBook is doing something really strange. With the lid closed, it wakes itself back up and begins running. The screen remains off; it just runs... without the fans. A few hours ago, I came back to my computer. It had beens sleeping running Windows 7 in my backpack while plugged in for a few hours, and you could literally cook an egg on it. It was that hot. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Has anyone had this happen before? What damage could my computer had sustained with that much heat? This isn't the first time this happened, but it has NEVER been that hot.
Thanks in advance!

If it was plugged in and recharging IN your backpack you probably got the battery hot. I don't know if there is an overheat auto-shut down feature for the battery.
It may have woke Windows up to tell you it got hot and then crashed or tried to shutdown and couldn't.
As far as the heat for the processor or ram, it does have an auto shut down for overheat situations but if it crash's and stays in limbo land then that part of it won't see it and it could damage things inside. Depending on how you had your backpack stuffed last time and this time it could just be a coincident on getting extra hot. Depending on what year MacPro you have you can either use the Hardware Test DVD that came with your computer (or press and hold the D key when it restarts) to check to see if it can find anything wrong.
Or you may have a hardware problem that makes it wake up or restart by itself and Windows just happens to have the right combination to trigger it. If it's still under warranty you may want to have Apple look at it?
Not to mention, if it's happened before then maybe it's time to see WHY it does it before it does do some damage?
Try putting it to sleep and see if you can replicate the problem while at home.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
^^^
that is the same problem i am having! if anyone can help that would be great i'm losing my mind over here

HT3986 How do I run an external monitor on a macbook pro running windows 7

How do I run an external monitor on a Macbook Pro running Windows 7

on my imac connecting a TB to dvi converter to my imac and to my 24" dell monitor was all it took
windows like osx saw the external monitor and let me clone to it or extend my desktop to it

Problem HDMI connection to new Panasonic TC-60ps34 plasma; tv says no signal but computer detects tv; worked fine on 4 yr old phillips plasma; 2011 macbook pro running os10.6.8.

New 60" Panasonic plasma says no signal won't display picture/sound from 2011 macbook pro running os10.6.8 connected via HDMI with moshi MDP to HDMI Adapter. Same setup on former 4-yr-old Phillips Plasma worked fine (but the tv died!)

- I tried every Snow Leopard Release from 10.5.8 to 10.6.4
Assuming this means the TV was not detected in any of these versions, this would not be a Snow Leopard installation or setup issue. I think that is what sig is trying to tell you.
If this is true, you might want to post in the MacBook forums to see if anyone has a similar issue. It would be a good idea to post the model number of your Toshiba if you do so, as this might be relevant. Otherwise, it sounds like the problem is in the TV, since the MacBook works with other displays.

Will a early 2011 macbook pro run ml airplay mirroring

Will an early 2011 macbook pro run airplay mirroring on moutain lion

Only thing I would add if I was you, would be to put 8GB RAM into your machine. That will help any issues of being slow, but it should run just fine. Having more ram is always good, and for the price point its well worth it.
I have on 2010 Macbook Pro and it screams. Also on 2011 Macbook Air with no issues.
As for running slow, it could incompatible apps, or apps that havent been updated yet, it would be impossible to pinpoint one thing.

Can a macbook pro run windows operating system?

Is it best to run Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or would it be better to use VMWare Fusion or similar? I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.6.8) and I also have a Dell laptop solely because one program that I need to use for work is only available for Windows. I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

Macbook Pro running Windows with Boot Camp, wanting to use iMac as second monitor.

I am using a Macbook Pro that is running Windows with Boot Camp. I want to connect it to my iMac so that I can use the iMac as a second monitor.
If it is not possible, I also have a TV that I could use using an HDMI, however when I tried this my Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 did not detect it in the Display Settings.
What are my options? I just want to use my iMac or TV as a second monitor!!
Any help is appreciated, tMachanks!

WIP: My adventures with 2011 MacBook Pro and Windows 8.1 including seconday HDD

So I've just lost about 3 days of my life trying to install Windows 8.1 (my preferred) operating system on a Late 2011 MacBook Pro.
I feel that I've learnt a lot and hopefully can share my experiences to speed a few of you along the process. This is my own experience please let me know if anything I have documented is not true and I will revise for completeness
What my initial goal was to have a dual HD set up with an SSD running both Mac OSX and Windows 8.1 (via Bootcamp) with a 2ndry HD in places of the optical (DVD) drive for shared storage.
I have tried all/some of the following:
Win 8.1 ISO from the MS site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
USB created using Rufus for Bios and EFI boot
DVD created using Windows 8.1 (can't remember how)
Yosemite USB created using: Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
There are 2 main options when installing Windows:
Bios
EFI
Both have different pros and cons, which Im going to try and document here:
Bios
Full driver support via Bootcamp download
Slower (mainly boot time, not by much though)
Not quite as "native" as some may prefer
Limited number of partitions??
EFI
Fast
Native
Does not support video driver properly (no dual screen)
Audio does not work (says Failed to start device)
Here are some random facts I know
Windows DVD will only boot from optical drive when connected internally. If plugged in via external USB it stops at black screen with flashing cursor and doesnt progress
Using 5HT-2a's method on Redit (see below) and the EFI install, I get the Cx0000005 cannot find source media error and cannot install
Hacking the Bootcamp tool to create a Windows 8 ISO with all the drivers works (see link below) but when using it in EFI it crashes repeatedly during install so you never can complete the process (I think this is due to the video drivers) and therefore can't run Bootcamp assistant thus get proper trackpad support
Using lion10's method (below) for tweaking a standard Mac partitioned HD I was able to get past the cannot install Windows error ("windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GPT partition style") and install Windows using EFI
Best guides/links I have found:
lion10's method:The ultimate way to install Windows 8.x in (U)EFI mode on Apple systems
5HT-2a's method: http://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/2fy3be/by_popular_demand_my_better_than_boo tcamp_guide/
skipsizemore's method: Can't install Windows 8 x64 on late 2013 MBP with1TB SSD
Bootcamp drivers 2 versions depending on Mac:
Older Macs: Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
Newer Macs (most 2013+): Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640
Bootcamp Assistant Hack for USB creation on older Macs: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1680652There is an additional parameter required if you are using Yosemite during code signing (-deep I think, but cant remember)

What I ended up doing (so far)
I'm not 100% sure of the state of my disk when I got to where I ended up but I had previous completed the GDisk and DISKPART methods from 5HT-2a and lion10's methods. I was using a 128gb SSD
I then decided to start from the top (as I had previous installed Win 8.1 on the original HD using DVD)
So I ran the Yosemite installer (via USB) and used the partition tab in Disk Utility to repartition the disk into 2 partitions, 1 for OSX and 1 (ExFat/NTFS) for Windows
I then booted in Bios (Windows, not EFI) using the Windows 8.1 DVD using the DVD plugged in internally (wouldnt work using USB enclosure)
Installed Windows to the partition I created (probably the 4th one)
After Windows installed, ran the Bootcamp set up program
Reran Yosemite installer and installed Yosemite
Swapped out the optical drive for a larger HD (7200rpm) and formatted it with HFS+

Screen shots on MacBook Pro running Windows XP?

I'm trying to take some screen shots on my MacBook Pro while it's running XP. I know on a Windows machine there is a key for "Print Screen". Is there a keyboard equivalent for the MacBook? Or if not, is there another way to get a screen capture while running XP? Thanks in advance
Randy

I am trying to figure out the same thing. Did anyone figure out how to take a simple screenshot on the macbook pro in windows xp? Ive tried the alt + ctrl + P... that seems to want to print things. What is the equivilent to the print screen button from a dell machine to a macbook pro machine?
Thanks!

Randomly weak/barely functional wifi on Early 2011 Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2, out of ideas. Help?

Hey there, boys and girls!
As of August 2011, I am the proud owner of a brand new 13 inch Macbook Pro! Being a tech geek, I have always wanted the opportunity to play with OS X, and I was pretty thrilled by my purchase. However, mere weeks after getting my shiny new computer, the wifi issues started. For no reason at all, it would seem as if my connection was dropped entirely, but checking activity monitor showed that the signal had simply capped off at about 6 kb/s. This issue has continued to randomly strike when I am trying to do something online, and almost always when it is something important. These issues have continued throughout the Fall of this year, and school has kept me too busy to actually get hardcore on this problem. The time has come.
I have read **** near every stinking article on the internet about this problem, and tried every solution that I have seen.
Here is the info I have:
*When the problem occurs, opening activity monitor and choosing "Network" shows a graph that maxes out at 6kb/s, sometimes less. There are characteristic spikes of activity, which are usually between 0 and 2 kb/s. It happens COMPLETELY at random, and for utterly variant spans of time. Sometimes it happens 8 times a day, for hours each time; other times, I get it once a day for about 15 minutes. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
*It happens most frequently on my home network. I am using a Netgear Wireless N router (a new one, at that) which I have configured to serve as wireless router and DHCP server for my Verizon router (on which I have disabled wireless and left essentially as a modem). However, the problem has also occurred outside of my home network.
*It's just my Mac. Every other device connected to the network continues to function normally when the cap occurs.
*Whatever data IS moving when the cap occurs is not user data; in other words, I cannot discern the source of the weak trickle of data that continues when the problem happens. During the problem, I cannot ping in terminal, or use any Internet-connected applications or browsers.
Here are some solutions I have tried which did absolutely NOTHING to resolve the problem:
*Rebooting (duh). Problem remains directly following reboot if it was happening right before reboot.
*Turning wifi off and on again (duh some more)
*Using other browsers/networked applications (also duh)
*Erasing all setting connection files so that they are forced to rebuild (4 plist files in library/preferences/systemconfiguartion)
*Erasing and re-adding networks from the remembered networks list
*Repair disk permissions and disk volume from recovery.
*Reset PRAM
*Keep a terminal window running that just pings a remote server endlessly. This basically cuts off as well when the problem shows up.
No combination of the following worked (and I tried each separately and in tandem, when applicable):
*Change the network location to a custom one
*Set a static IP
*Renew DHCP lease after location reset
I'm basically at my wit's end here. I am technically savvy enough to try basically any solution, but I seem to have run out of options. Does anyone have any solutions I haven't tried? The only other potentially relevant thing I can think of is that I did clone my original 320GB HDD over to a 500GB HDD near the start, but that shouldn't have anything to do with this... right?
I remember being eager to get this machine, but this network plague has me missing my broken-down heap of an old PC. For all it's various shortcomings, was at least able to connect to the **** internet consistently. I thought 10.7.2 would fix the problem... but nope. No help from Apple either. I'm pretty sick of this issue already.

2011 Macbook pro running very slow

Hi there,
My Macbook Pro has been running extra slow lately. It is generally slow when not connected to AC adapter, but lately it has been all the time. Copying and pasting a picture from one app to another takes 5 minutes. When not connected to the AC adapter the response time is ridiculous, the mouse can't keep up with my actions at all. Also, one of my USB ports doesn't work, not sure if that is something I need to bring to Apple or if I can fix it myself though. I have already tried resetting the PRAM...anything else I can do?
I have attached my EtreCheck info below...any thoughts/advice would be super helpful! Thanks!

Can MacBook Pro Run Windows Vista?

Hi,
Can I run Windows Vista 32/64 bit on MacBook Pro without BootCamp? I saw it use Intel Core 2 Duo as its CPU.

Actually it can (if you put in the Vista disk and clear OSX off the drive, which I wouldn't advise doing), but its not a good idea, because without the bootcamp drivers, you wont able to use the MBPs features, like the backlit keyboard, the built in iSight, the remote, the trackpad with two finger right click, no wireless, no ethernet, no USB or firewire, no 3D acceleration (no GPU drivers) and more. You could try and find out the vender of all those hardware components and download them (that is assuming they have drivers on their websites that will work with the MBP), but that could take a long time.
Why you ask, because the hardware is totally compatible with XP SP2 and Vista. All Intel Macs that shipped after the release of bootcamp last year have the necessary firmware to boot Windows. All bootcamp does is install EFI firmware support for booting between OSX and Windows, add Windows booting to Startup Disk and burn a driver CD/DVD to add functionality of the above mentioned hardware.

MacBook Pro running Windows XP with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

When I got a MacBook Pro in 2006 I gave a small partition to my husband so he could log into his computer at the office. I used Boot Camp and an OEM WIndows XP disk. Everything ran smoothly for 5 years... last week he started having problems with windows and after doing some diagnostics and deletions we were able to get the system up and running.
I have recently gotten a newer MacBook Pro and decided I should wipe the old one clean, give him a larger partition and reinstall everything. SO... I downloaded lion wiped the drive clean and reinstalled system software. Opened up Boot Camp clicked download Windows support software got an error. After searching support found that Lion doesn't support XP... His company still uses XP and he's not that computer Savvy so it makes sense to keep him with what he's familiar with (plus who wants to buy another windosOS)... SO I decided to reinstall the original disk of Snow Leopard, re partitioned the drive loaded XP, used the Windows installer disk I originally made with the Boot Camp beta version I downloaded 5+ years ago and everything was hunky dory... till this morning when I logged on to his system to do further installs and it says that hardware changes had been made and that WIndows needed to be "reactivated" click here... so I do and find the internet connection was missing (?) Works fine on the mac so it's a windows issue.
So I put in the windows xp disk to see if I can reinstall the OS and get an error "no boot disc"... I just decided to start over but am wondering if I made a mistake using the "mac windows installers" disk I made years ago. I go on to support and tried to download a newer version of the installers and it wants to give me an older version of Boot Camp.(am now thinking I might have had regular leopard when I first set up the initial partition/install for Windows)
I realize this is all long winded and maybe somewhat confusing. Bottom line is... I have a macbook pro that I need to install Windows XP on. Am I on the right track (planning to reinstall the XP disk but NOT repartition, etc.) Should I go back to Leopard? Should I erase the partition and start over? is there more updated Windows drivers I should be using??? SHould I bite the big one and buy Windows 7 and go forward from there?

Ok, that's what I have done... I have Snow Leopard Installed, 10.8.6 and it's got Boot Camp 3.0.4... my questionis the Mac Windows Install Drivers you add after installing Windows. Windows looks terribly awkward and I'm guessing it has something to do with the ATI graphics card sofware the mac disk installed. Is is ok to use the one I created years ago? I can't seem to find a place to create a new one using the 10.8.6 and 3.0.4.
When I orignially installed Boot Camp you had to create a disk using Boot Camp that you installed in Windows after the initial OS installation.
