Weak Bluetooth Signal MacBook Pro 2011 Lion - Wireless Speaker Adapter

I just bought a wireless bluetooth speaker adapter (http://amzn.to/IRhKlX) and my signal strength between it and my macbook pro is very low, around -70dB in the bluetooth preferences thing. While it works with my cell phone, and two other non-mac laptops, the audio from my mac sounds like a skipping cd, and I'm about 2 meters away with nothing blocking the line of sight. Even if I place my mac next to the adapter, the audio quality doesn't seem to improve, though the signal strength increases to about -60dB. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here?
Thanks!

Any or all of the following third-party system modifications may be contributing to your problem:
Apogee device and/or driver
Tuxera NTFS driver
If the panic is recurrent, I suggest you uninstall them, one at a time, according to the developers' instructions, to see whether you can identify which one is at fault. A conflict between modifications may be involved. Reboot and test after each uninstallation.
Back up all data before making any changes.

Macbook Pro 2011 Lion 10.7.2 HD crashed.

My hard drive crashed and I am trying to replace it. The new hard drive is physically installed. I do not have a way to get a startup disk or make a usb drive because I have no access to any other mac computers. I tried internet recovery but when I get to the point of installing OS X on my disk, the window to select a disk remains blank. I have no idea how to proceed. Please help.

Cannot enter Root User / OS X Lion 10.7 / MacBook Pro (2011)

Hi all,
Pulling my hair out here; if any one can help I'll buy them a Corona or two.
Trying to enter Root User (in order to change the short username and home folder). Here's how it goes:
- New MacBook Pro (2011) / Lion installed
- Brother decided to play with it before I got home, set up a username etc
- I connected my iMac and MBP via an ethernet cable and Account Migrated all my stuff over to the MBP
- I deleted the account my brother setup for me
- Realised the 'Home' folder and short username was still that of my iMac (Joss iMac etc). Wanting to be factually correct looked into changing this via Root User
- Turned on Root User via Apple recommended way (Directory Utilities)
- Enter password
- Logged off as 'Joss iMac'
- Tried to logon as 'root', fails every time. All I get is the shake of the password box like the password is wrong.
I've tried pretty much all of the obvious sugeestions (i.e. renaming password, turning RU off and on again, reboot etc).
If any one can help, like I said, Corona's all round.
Thanks again,
JT

go to Systemsettings, Users & Groups and change "Show list of Users" to "Name and Password Box".
Root is not shown by default.
And if else fails you can boot into single user mode // do it via Unix terminal on the command line.

Hello
I have a macbook pro 2011 13" that came with OS Lion (integrated not on a disk). I recently bought OS Mountain Lion of the app store and it is working fine. However I was a bit dissapointed in the battery so I decided to try and downgrade and completely failed, I froze the computer and when I restarted it it did not work. I went into recovery system and erased my disk and all that and went to re-download my OS. I was expecting to get the option to re-download Lion but instead I could only re-download Mountain Lion.
My question is since my computer originally came with Lion can I reset my computer so I get OS Lion back instead of OS Mountain Lion?
Thanks for any help. Any answer will be appreciated even if it is saying it is not possible.

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
    1.    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2.    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    3.    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    4.    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Kappy, a pretty wonderful and very knowledgeable man, has tip for that which I have copied and pasted above

My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7 will no longer connect to either my HP or Epson printers. Both printers report that they are connected to the correct wireless network and until 2 weeks ago work perfectly.

My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
Any suggestions?

System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

Selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?

selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?

Good question now that Mavericks is free to all.
It used to be - and is probably still the case - that to comply with the license you should erase and re-install the OS that came pre-installed on the Mac when new. If there were restore disks they needed to be passed on with the Mac.
I'm happy to be corrected on this by someone who's more au fait with the legalese, but an upgraded OS is tied to an AppleID whereas the original OS is tied to the computer, not an AppleID.
My guess is, that if you launched the Recovery HD, erased the drive using Disk Utility and re-installed the OS, Lion would be installed.
Be interesting to see what others say.

Why did Lion 10.7.3 mess up my magic mouse on my macbook pro 2011?

My mouse was working fine and as soon as I updated to 10.7.3 my magic mouse went wacky! Swipes don't work now. I will be move my mouse to the other side of the screen and it jumps all over the place. And randomly clicks on items when I havnt pushed the mouse buttons. I'm glad I still have the track pad on the macbook pro. But for video editing it just isn't easy to use like the mouse. I reeeeaaallly hope they fix this soon. Or if anyone out there knows how to fix it pleeeease share with me.
Im using a macbook pro with lion os x 10.7.3 and .... well I was using a magic mouse connected via blue tooth.. but its almost impossible now.
Thanks

I am having the same challenge, what I have found to be a temporary fix is to disconnet the magic mouse and the reconnect using the BlueTooth Preference in system preferences.
I am also am having connectivity issues with my Plantronic Voyager Pro and my Ecamm BT-1 all are inconsistant now and intermittent.
So far no one seems to have an answer. Maybe if someone from Apple is monitoring this forum, they can add some imput for us?

Thank for the quick response, is there any way of syncing video files wirelessly from IPhone to Macbook or can this only be done by connecting IPhone to Macbook using USB Cable.

Bluetooth not working macbook pro 2011, AHT found nothing

My macbook pro 2011 has been having some issues with bluetooth. The system doesn't even recognize as having bluetooth hardware. I went under the hardware profile and it actually says No information found under bluetooth. I was able to do a full hour diagnostic test using Apple Hardware Test and everything was all clean. I'm not sure if this is Yosemite related or not. I definitely remember using my bluetooth enabled keyboard and mouse on my system before I upgraded to Yosemite. Wifi works fine. I've tried resetting PRAM, but nothing. I'm at a loss, not sure if there is anything else I can do.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Macbook Pro 2011 won't turn on (RAM issue?)

(Macbook pro 2011) I had water damage so I sent in to apple for a complete makeover and they pretty much replaced everything. The laptop seemed to be working fine but the issue is that when I put my laptop to sleep / turn off it won't turn back on. I haven't had the time to take my laptop back to the apple store due to projects / travelling. I've found that there is one quick fix, manually resetting the ram by taking the RAM chips out for a second then re-inserting them. The other way is to hold Command+Option+P+R 3 times before reboot and that'll work temporarily for a day maybe. I plan on taking it to the apple store in a day or so if the problem doesn't resolve itself. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Issue with Macbook Pro 2011

Hi there. I have a brand new MacBook Pro 2011 and I'm having some problems with my wireless connection. I have in the same room a Mac Mini, my Ipad , my Ipod, 3 PC's and all of them have a wireless connection. I notice that since my last MacOSX update I have some problems with my wireless connectivity in my Macmini. Now I'm having the same problem in my macbook pro. I have internet in all my other devices but no internet in my Mac Mini or Macbook. The Access point is 5 meters away from my devices. I put some repeater in the middle to repeat the signal but I'm getting the same beavior. Can someone help me on this? If I go to the network setting and renew my DHCP address I can access the internet but after 15 minutes I'm getting the same problem again.

The signal bar on the menubar is not always an accurate indicator of how strong the signal is. A more accurate measure is if the signal drops entirely and you are definitely in range of the airport base station. Also anywhere within 3 meters you may get signal degradation because of overlapping radio waves cancelling each other out. You also have the option to ask to speak to a customer relations person when you call AppleCare, and ask for an expedited repair, and have your airport card properly seated. Sometimes they can get loose, or the antenna can get loose inside, though normally this isn't a problem unless the machine has to be opened for some reason.

Macbook pro 2011 early cannot find right resolution for external display and keeps flickering

I have a macbook pro 2011 early running 10.9, and a LG FLATRON W2242T external screen. Also, I have a VGA to miniport from Apple and a VGA to HDMI, plus a HDMI to miniport(from Apple). By just connect with VGA to miniport to my MBP, it just flickers few times and stops detecting. But by connect VGA to HDMI converter and HDMI to miniport to my MBP, it keeps flickering, a non-stop flickering. The external screen always shows no signal. However, if I connect my MBP to my TV through HDMI to miniport, it works fine. But connecting the VGA port to my TV, it gets the same problem. I have tried clear my PRAM many times, and it gets the same result. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks

Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011 external display won't work as it used while Snow Leopard, I hate you Lion so far. I cannot even Go Back!
Did you bother to backup or clone your SL installation before dumping it?
