How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

How do you move pictures from iPhoto to an SD Card on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro 15 inch?

Do you have a SD slot? If not you get a USB to SD memory card adpater at the computer/office/online store and use that.
It appears as a drive on your machine and you can use Export from iPhoto or drag and drop methods too.
Make sure you backup

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need?

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment.

No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others.

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!

Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

Early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) problem with sporadic AMD GPU automated switching system

I have an early 2011 Mac Book Pro (MBP) - specs are listed below. I have read online about other 2011s having an automatic shutdown problem & sporadic failure re the graphics AMD Radeon HD 6490M GPU automated switching system (among other problems with this "innovation" by Apple). I am having this problem: Shuts down by itself. Restarts - in the middle of the restart shuts down again. Fans are operating just fine. The problem has occurred if a video is playing, if I try to edit a video. It has occurred while using Skype (if the other party puts on their video camera), Firefox & Safari & Google Chrome. It has occurred even if I was working in Word if I was connected to the internet. I am working in a developing country and I have done a PRAM SMC Disk Utility Repair disk had a diagnostic run which showed no problems, etc.There is no temporary fix. Apple now hear this: This is going to morph into a logic board problem and you still haven't done anything about it??? This is an APPLE defect and I am very disappointed in Apple not acknowledging this defect and fixing the problem or issuing notification of a recall. I am outside of Apple Care and I have never had a mac give trouble until the 5 year mark. A 2GB RAM white iMac I gave my Mom is still operating perfectly! I am in the middle of a climate change mitigation project and a I cannot finish my work due to this problem and I cannot afford to pay for another MBP $2400 doorstop. What is going on here? Steve dies so there is no one to put the fear of God in anyone at Apple anymore and now no one cares about customer service? Where is the product recall? I have been a loyal Apple customer since 1983. Yes, 1983. DO SOMETHING NOW APPLE & NOTIFY US OF IT - We all registered our computers on YOUR website so you know who we are. Has anyone filed a class action yet?

I had a 13" mid-2012 that had three logic boards fail in less than a year of purchase. My symptoms were it would freeze while using it or after it was put to sleep. When it froze while being used, it would flash pixels in groups in different colors and would become unresponsive to everything but forcing it to shut down. If it froze while sleeping, it wouldn't wake up and it would get extremely hot to the touch. Apple covered the repairs every time but they sent me receipts and each time, it was a $480 logic board plus labor so it would cost about $530 overall. It sounds to me it's your hard drive because I also experienced two hard drive failures. First time was from an accidental drop. I would get a loading bar on startup and once it finished, it would shut down. I couldn't boot into recovery mode at or do anything. But before that would happen, I would get an error in disk utility after performing a disk repair saying it couldn't repair the disk and to back up as much data as I could. Luckily I have the Time Capsule so my data was always safe.

Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

Late 2011 Mac book pro fan noise

I have a late 2011 model mac book pro, and I have never noticed the fan being this loud, I just have a browser open and the fan is pretty loud. Any suggestions on what to do?

If you note that the fans aren't working properly, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Can i add a second hard drive to my late 2011 mac book pro 15.4

I have the 750 GB HD and am getting down to 300Gb I would like to ad the 750 hybrid to my mac book pro. But didn't know if there was a place to mount it because I havent taken it apart.

You'd have to remove the Superdrive...will void your warranty...and use something like this:

If you have any problems, you will have to reverse it all before you go to a genius bar. Many users do this with no issues.

2011 Mac Book Pro Dual Monitors - what's better, a small TV or LED monitor?

I have a new 15" Mac Book Pro with thunderbolt. I am setting up for some Final Cut editing, and was looking into a second monitor for full screen preview.
What is ideal??? Mini display port out via HDMI or should I go with mini to DVI?
If HDMI is fine, then what is the difference between using a LCD television and using a PC monitor?? Costco has a Samsung 27" 1080p LCD TV and a Samsung 27" monitor with HDMI for roughly the same price ($250).
Any opinions what would work better?
The monitor may occasionally double as a TV or be pulled onto a shoot as a camera monitor, in which case, maybe the LCD TV is better. It also will be used as a full screen preview monitor for Aperture still photo editing.
Thanks

>> You need a broadcast signal going to the HDTV from the MBP. <<
Are you saying that if you want to use the TV to evaluate the broadcast quality of the video then the MBP does not have that capabilty?
Are you also saying that if you just want to display the video on the TV then you can use the HDMI output of the MBP?

Is any one running the 2011 mac book pro with 16gb

Is anyone running the new Mac Book Pro with 16GB? I am going to purchase the new Mac Book Pro and there are now 8gb memory boards on the market so it becomes feasible to have the Mac Book Pro at 16gb (2x8gb).

might be better off (this is about a macbook pro?)

Point of view on running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 Mac Book Pro?

I bought my MacBook Pro a couple of days before the current genneration came out in June of 2012. I was told that Mountain Lion would run well even on the older genneration and I was convinced by the 'genius' that it would be well worth it to buy the old one since I could get the old gen 15 inch for the price of the new gen 13 inch. I love mac, and my macbook but ive been hearing some stuff about how its Mountain Lion just doesnt run smoothly with the old gen hardware....im starting to agree with them. I havent got to use a new gen with mountain lion but i assume the freeze ups and the delays dont happen as much. Just looking for some thoughts from other people who have experienced this issue.....
biggest issue chat has just messed up texting with my iphone i had to delete it, notifying me randomly form days ago and other times not notifiying me at all

I have a late model 2011 mac and I ran mountain lion on it for a few months. It ran ok but I ended up reinstalling lion on it about a week ago just because I found lion ran better. I don't think it has anything to with the "slightly" older hardware. I think mountain lion is just a resource pig. One thing was very noticeable and that was the shut down time. With lion my mac shuts down in a second or 2. with mountain lion it took 5-10+ seconds and that was with a clean install of mountain lion.
If you don't need any of the newer feature, whatever they are, then just stay with lion. I read a article this morning that apple is coming out with 10.9 in a couple of months. So I'll try that, in a separate partition this time, when it comes out and see how I like it.

'Late' 2011 Mac Book Pro, iPhone 5 & iPad Mini Retina

I have been trying to use the new 'Handoff'' feature without any success. I can enable handoff on my iPhone and iPad but I can't find anyway to enable the option on my Mac Book.
Has anyone else been having this problem and has anyone managed to resolve the issue?
any help will be gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi mende1,
Thanks for the reply. That's disturbing to hear. My computer is nearly ALWAYS at this high temperature (or at least this is the temperature that is reported). For example, I just paused a netflix streaming video to check my mail. The fans are going at 5,500 RPM. And the temperature is listed at 176º F. But now, after only a minute, the CPU is down to 140º F (60º C) and the fans are at 2,000 RPM.
Is that not normal behavior?
The temperature does not get that high doing any other activities (apart from maybe a flash video game).
I should probably mention that it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.
Anything I should do to test it? I'm thinking of taking it into the Apple Store for a monitor issue.

Going back too Mountain Lion from Yosemite on new Mac Book Pro

Okay so I just got my first Macbook Pro I am Very happy with it I don't have any real problems with Yosemite HOWEVER I bought my mac as I am a music student and I work with macs all the time running Pro Tools so it made sense to get a mac for compatibility reasons. now, I am not able to install Pro Tools Express the program I use at home online there are claims that it is the installer that is broken and won't work unless you are running 10.9 or lower but the program runs fine. I have bought Mountain Lion and I am awaiting it to be emailed to me, and I am away to create a partition on my 8gb usb stick to put the installer on, I understand that apparently I can't downgrade as I have a new Mac but I can run them together? Well one at a time obviously, I just would like some help as I am a little confused having only ever used Windows before.
Thank you for any help! I'm just getting pretty frustrated with this whole ordeal.
