BlackLight without graphics (MBP mid-2012)
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Hello everyone. I own a Macbook Pro, mid-2012 model (101), processor intel i5. Last summer, I upgraded the RAM 16 GB and 2 TB HARD drive. Earlier, I noticed my MBP ran hot and strangled more often than usual. I searched online for solutions, and I read on the application of new thermal paste. I bought the kit ArctiClean as well as the Arctic Silver thermal paste from Amazon and took care with the process of cleaning and application using an iFixit guide how apply the paste. I reassembled the Macbook Pro and the display came on well, the fan was noisy out of control, and research also indicated that I didn't apply enough thermal paste, so I still once disassembled, added a little more dough based on the suggested amount and put it back together. This time, however, when I cut off the computer, the sound the chime that's happened and everything but the screen was black! I sat there for a while and the fire of backlight and the keyboard is come (which means the computer started), but there was no image, just black light. I double and triple checked all the connections the card logic to ensure that everything was good and safe, but there was no luck. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM again, no luck. I know that my warranty is void so I'm not the penalty to take it to an Apple store, does anyone have any suggestions?
PS - There is no drop or to the computer water damage
Attaches the MBP to a monitor. If the monitor is also black, which indicates a GPU problem. If there is a good image on the monitor, the disply or display connection is defective.
Don't be reluctant not to take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar. All appraisals are FREE, regardless of the status of the guarantee. Then, you'll know exactly what you are dealing with.
Ciao.

beach ball of rotation on el capitan (mbp mid 2012)
Hey all - if my macbook pro has been slow for as long as I can remember, even after its purchase for the school. A year ago I was almost all replaced: the monitor, the logic, the RAM card (all except the mouse pad, battery and HD). I get a constant spinning beach ball about any program running. Spotify, CC adobe and microsoft programs are less efficient that I usually use. Even the right click is difficult.
Any ideas?

Cable IEEE 1394 to 800 FireWire MBP mid 2012
Hello
Currently, I discovered an old camcorder (Samsung VP-D371) that uses a DV IEEE 1394 cable entry. I have an old cable, but does not support the USB or firewire 800 appropriate.
My question is: the Macbook Pro for mid-2012 capture the videos saved in the camcorder? --> If YES: should which cable I buy?
-A DV to USB cable
-A DV FireWire 800 cable
-A DV cable for love at first sight...?
Plus, do you know of any box or cable adapter for Mini DVI VHS transfer to the computer?
Thank you
Sincerelly,
FireWire converts freely back and forth between its various forms, simply by using the correct conversion cable (which differs from the others only by the provided number of pins and the link shape.
Most digital camcorders use the variety 4 pin, fireWire-400 without the supplied power cords.
Older Macs use the Firewire-400 variety with power, which converts directly to your camera with a cable from 6 to 4
New Macs using FireWire 800 varieties which has additional pins for drivers to push - pull on the data lines, so it has the connector 9 pins and can instantly transform 400 with a 9-6 adapter cable, or your camera with a cable adapter 9 to 4.
Some separate adapters are also available, but these should only be used in an installation permeant, because (based on anecdotal evidence) "they grow legs and disappear.

Then the MBP mid 2012 retina manage 2560x1440@60Hz?
Hey,.
I want to buy a monitor 1440 p (probably the Acer H257HU 25 "") and I wonder if my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) retina can handle full resolution at 60 Hz. I read that HDMI 2560 x 1440 is limited to 30 Hz or a little less than 60 Hz (at least on Mac OS). Can I get 60 Hz via a miniDP to DP cable? Thanks in advance,
deermichel
Yes. Mini Display port is a better method of HDMI connection. Plug the connector Mini DisplayPort to the ends of the cable port on your MacBook Thunderbolt.

My MBP end 2011 died. I want to migrate its content on Time Machine to a bit newer MBP. Basically the old MBP return to the most recent. It doesn't matter if the data on the new MBP are lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello
Yes you can do it. Pondini (here) has a few options to do.
You can also try Migration Wizard. See this article. But I'd go with Pondini, the guru of the Time Machine.

trackpad left click + hold question about MBP mid 2012
Since I upgraded to El Capitan, my trackpad has been behaving strangely. Left click starts to malfunction after a while of being on, it now retains key even though I can still click on (I hear the rattling). I think it's a software problem, given that this is not the case in Boot Camp. Help, please!
In addition, drop down windows would disappear after clicking, making it impossible to select an option. (I.E. battery, an icon of the tasks icon bar)

Replace the HARD drive in mid-2012 MBP of SSD?
Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012. This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.
I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:
Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)
IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?
Is it really worth?
Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.
Yes, it was worth it. The difference between day and night.
It's easy. How to create a clone of startup
I don't know Samsung but 2.5 "is inside that you need, SATA III Yes.
but another highly recommended option is https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/lineup

Upgrade module WiFi mid-2012 MBP?
Hello
I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I've already updated the memory, ssd and battery.
I would like to know if the Wifi module is upgradable?...
I currently have an 802.11n Wifi module that I wrapped up as upgrade to Wifi-ac
Interfaces:

Map of the airport is certainly available in this model:
However, newer Mbps AC cards are of a completely different form factor, so I doubt that they would work. I've not seen any internal third party replacements offered at all speeds.
There may be an external option, like this:

MacBook Pro mid-2012 running hot (MacOS Sierra)
Hello
I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inch with 16 GB. of ram and a 500 GB. SSD
I had it set up with boot camp and dualboot El Capitan and MS-Windows-10
Everything is working, all the features and functions in the two operating systems.
I was very pleased with this MBP.
Recently, I put a new battery in it and upgraded to Mac OS Sierra.
Since then the MBP runs hot.
It heats up very quickly.
Is this a common problem with macOS Sierra?
Or do you think that the NEW battery maybe causing the MBP get HOT?
I use an adapter to power 85 watts OEM.
The battery seems to work fine.
Several demons as mdworker are running to set up the Sierra which CPU load until adjustment ended.
You can check with activity monitor.

With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012
I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.
Try this it worked for another user having the same problems.
Your MacBook is looking for initial start-up by car but can not find.
Power on the Mac and hold down the 'option' at the same time, and then manually select to boot from the drive of choice.
Also, try this first:
I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I did an upgrade SSD with a Samsung Evo 850-series (500 GB.). However, I had no problem.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original disc for the SSD via a USB-to-Sata adapter.
My first start was slow because I don't have the SMC / PRAM reset my MBP was looking for startup disk.
However after my MBP starts very quickly. I got no problem with Samsung Evo SSD. They work very well with Macs.
Don't forget to activate the "pad" your non - owc SSD support.
Open "terminal app" and enter the command 'sudo trimforce activate' select YES, YES... and restart after completing

Need instructions/tips for no Win8.1 on mid 2012 MBP pro audio problem
Thank you for taking your time looking in my question.
My Machine: Macbook Pro retina no Mid 2012
What I wanted: install win 8.1 pro 64 bit on a second SSD completely (without Partition) / replace the optical drive
My problem: everything works fine, but no sound. Drivers seem to be the cause:
How I installed windows:1. I put the own ssd in the main Bay + optical drive with disk 8.1 win
2. Windows disk initialized and installed windows 8.1 64-bit without errors
3 install the drivers for bootcamp support
4 returned the Mac ssd go back to the main Bay and put the ssd of windows in the caddy and then in the optical Bay
5. starting is by holding alt and choosing between mac os, recovery and boot efi (which contains windows)
What I tried (all of the following are ineffective):
1 reinstall/repair drivers bootcamp support from different sources (of the download on the website of apple and the bootcamp assistant application)
2 reinstall the realtek drivers
3. how to install intel drivers graphics hd 4000 (found a source who said it would do the trick, there is no)
4 uninstallation of controller high definition Audio (it always seems to come back)
5. manually download and install the drivers http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip cirrus
I get the following error:
6. place the ssd of windows in the main Bay
7 troubleshooting sound (a 99% sure that this would not work)
8 throw up my hands in despair and uncontrollable crying afterwards (was probably the most effective on 8)
That I need clarification on:
I found found some sources say that installing windows via EFI mode causes no sound, but I'm not sure if the way I installed it is considered to be the efi mode as I have never had an option for efi mode. However when I start upward and hold option the name of the windows disk named ' BOOT EFI. Efi mode is how I installed windows?
What I need instructions on:
Some sources claim that I need to install windows in hybrid MBR mode however I do not know how I would install windows any differently than the way I did above. How can I go about installing, not in start efi mode, if I want to spend the whole ssd for windows / that I would do anything differently than the steps I listed up there?
Thanks a lot again for your time and help!
Windows must be in the main Bay and must stay in the main Bay after installation. You can either use the wizard of BC and create a USB installer which will also create a legacy BIOS/MBR W8.1 (default value for your specific model) or if you choose to do it manually, make sure that the icon of Windows from the installation media, not EFI Boot.
If you start from the DVD W8.1, the default value is Boot EFI. BC Assistant did a bit of work for you, in order to avoid the is not a good idea.

Mid 2012 Macbook Pro with or without retinal incredibly slow
Hello, I'm typing this for my mother. It has a mid-2012 Macbook pro without the retina which is very slow. She has recently updated to 16 GB of ram, and we are all pretty sure she did her properly. He constantly beach balls and takes more than a minute to launch Safari. The fan is also strong enough now. He runs the El captain. Thank you in advance!

Mid 2012 very slow MBP - 20 minute Start Up
My MacBook Pro for mid-2012 running El Capitan has recently become very slow and slower. The spinning wheel occurs around every 1 to 2 minutes. even in writing, it is very difficult due to the offset. every thing is in condition of market but VERY quirky. Even at the start, it takes about 20-30 minutes to start and yet 10 to log in. this all started happening a few days ago a little less normal use. Any help would be greatly appreciated
The processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz
RAM is 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Note: the laptop was left alone for 2 weeks and was emptied of its power during the holiday season. do not know if it had nothing to do with it. I pulled up without problem, and a few days later the problems started.

I don't think that the battery has nothing to do with it.
How is the health of your hard drive. You have the classic symptoms of may not be not HD.
Utility drive SMART status? ERD?
You have an external bootclone to boot from to see if your problems go away.

This SSD will fit in my MBP 13 mid 2012
Just got a second hand Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2012 (not retina)." The guy upgraded to a 250 GB SSD and it is simply not enough room for me. I would like to double with a 500 GB SSD. I was looking for in Samsung SSD. Does anyone know if it would be compatible with my MBP?
Also has 12 GB of ram. It has a key of 8 GB and a 4 GB stick. I would like to just throw a full 16 GB. Will this work?
0-239-995-_-product http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA1N82MT5630&cm_re=mac_ram-_-2
Thanks in advance for you help! you are always great.
Let me discourage you to install the Samsung SSD. There was some problems with Samsung SSD (in addition to success). noticed on these forums. Note also that Samsung does not Mac compatibility on their web site. I can recommend the SSD from Crucial and OWC based on my experience and that of others.
Your MBP will support up to 16 GB of RAM. However, the best sources for RAM compatible Macs are also OWC and Crucial. When it comes to RAM and some brands simply do not work even when the specifications indicate they should the Mac are very selective. Ensure that the specifications are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Ciao.
