• Best battery OEM for MBP 13 beginning 2011

  Hello everyone from Apple!

  I ask your opinion about the replacement of the battery for my MBP 13 early 2011 (MC700).

  In my view, there are a lot of OEM batteries on amazon / ebay.

  What is the best for a good price (less then $ 40)?

  Thanks in advance.

  None in your price range.  Based on the collective experience of participants veterans of ASC, NuPower batteries from OWC and Anker brand are the only ones I recommend currently.  If you search these forums, you will find that many "bargain" battery produced a low yield and the many stories of misfortune.  In the long term, their cost is often more than a quality battery.

  Ciao.

• MBP 15 "Early 2011: some keys not working not

  Hello Experts,

  I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "early 2011 10.11.3 on OS X El Capitan.

  Now, some keys on my keyboard doesn't work anymore, only F1 - F9 (F10 - F12 still works fine) and the right SHIFT key.

  I read some other threads about this here, tried SMC-reset, reset PRAM, no change at all. (After reset the SMC he worked shortly, but after about 15 minutes even error.)

  FN + F1 - F9 does not either.

  Also, I checked my console to find errors, that's what I get when I press F1/F2.

  ATTENTION: assert (-1! = internal) failed in the function-[DeviceGammaContext isInternal]: 2096 in file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AmbientDisplay/AmbientDisplay-58/Sources/ DeviceGammaContext.m

  This error no longer appears.

  I have to say, I got my Logicboard exchanged 1 week ago by an Apple Technician due to the graphic problem common with the older MBP.

  Can it be a coincidence? It has something to do with the keys without work?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Chyllie

  EDIT: There was no liquid spilled on the keyboard, or something similar, also when I plug in an external keyboard (non-apple) the right shift is working on it and also the buttons Play/Forward.

  It was a bad connection to the logicboard, for all who have the same problem!

• Non-functional processor DV7 - what a graphic problem?

  Hi all

  Edit: I think that it maybe the wrong section for this so I she published more than crash & block but since I saw some views on this one, did not delete in case someone was following this so leave it here for now. Administrators can remove if necessary.

  I have a product number, dv7-4273us: XZ295UA #ABA. Bought July 11 or 15th, 2011.

  Current problem:

  Saturday, August 16, 2014, I visited a friend to download far cry 1, 2, 3 and the DLC via steam. We left my computer download and went out. On our return 2 hours later, when I tried to make out the hibernation mode, it does not start and the caps lock light kept flashes once, indicating a CPU failure according to the error code to connect to this site.

  Performed troubleshooting:

  I checked the plug and discovered that the taken light was red, so I went taking points, and the 2nd which shine white.

  Connected to an external monitor no dice.

  noticed that the light on the drive on the side right hand turns red, so tried the hard reset - removed the battery and tried to start it with just the connected plug, he came but it's same - caps lock flashes indicating once cpu failure.

  Previous problems:

  So far, the only problem I had with the computer was that full screen, sometimes the light blue light and I would not be impossible to access anything. I would be put to sleep to get it out or restart.

  My Questions:

  (1) could download have hurt the CPU?

  1 (b) if I ran out of har of disk space to download making the failure of the cpu?

  (2) the graphic problem I had known would be the cause of the failure of the cpu?

  2B) if I replace the map move the cpu would resume the feature?

  (3) is anyway to get the laptop working again without having to buy a new processor?

  (4) I have used my computer plugged into a surge protector, but when I visited my friend was firectly plugged into the wall, he suggested that the computer overheating. Is it correct?

  4 (b) but do not tell the flashes, could something else have been damaged?

  (5) it is just better to buy a new computer and forget fixing it? I can't afford it, but I'll ask just in case.

  Thank you in advance for your help, much appreciated!

  Note: I'm not in the United States, I'm in Barbados, so I do not have access to online services like amazon - they often don't ship here, and I won't be able to get my computer to any physical location in the United States for repair.

  Hello

  You should be able to order a replacement CPU from the laptop. This would occur in the maintenance and Service guide (which is in my previous post). It can be a stand-alone item however, some laptops, it's part of the system board replacement.

  I hope you're able to help.

• Windows 7 Graphics problem: graphics would become all deformed and weird looking

  original title: graphic problem Windows 7

  Hi, I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed on it.  Sorry if this problem has already been asked before, but I couldn't find someone else with the same problem I have.

  Sometimes, the graphics would become all deformed and weird looking.  Look at the screenshot I took:

  

  And it occurs for each program, not only on the desktop.  I could usually get rid of the lines by reducing the window and maximizing it again.  But it's so boring.

  My graphics card is a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family.  I updated the driver from last night, but the same thing happens again.  So I don't know what else could be the problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  Check if your video card has its own program/parameters adjustment control panel and use it to adjust your settings more towards the side of the 'quality' rather than the side 'Performance' and see if that smooth your edges for you.  Also, you said that your system is new.  You can look into having served through your warranty.  You also need to make sure that it is not getting too hot.  Laptops produce a lot of heat and if it doesn't get good ventalation / or enough, then he can begin to display this type of behavior.  I had to go out and get a 'cooling block' for mine to keep it cool.  I hadn't started to have problems because of the heat, but I decided on my own that he was too hot.   Hope this bit of info helps.

• Graphics problems in macOS Sierra on Macbook Pro

  I have a 13 "mid-2016 Macbook Pro (model MacbookPro 7.1 - 2.66 GHz/8 GB RAM) I've recently upgraded to Sierra. However, I noticed a slight increase in glitches since the upgrade - serious glitches. For example, the animation for arise Applications appears as two images, the majority of applications (including integrated) sparkle and on top of that, applications like Microsoft Remote Desktop and Parallels Pro 12 do not work right due to graphic problems (MS RD comes constantly creates an empty black window while in the analogies I was forced to power off the virtual machine dirty because all the options of the application itself that uses OS x) interface were flickering at which makes them unselectable).

  In fact, the graphics flickering and stuttering throughout what using Mac OS are quite widespread. Open a new window in Chrome, same thing. Same thing with Safari. Or iTunes.

  He got better with each subsequent reboot, but it is still pretty bad.

  Anyone else having this problem or have a resolution for this?

  He got better with each subsequent reboot, but it is still pretty bad.

  Keep rebooting until the problem is gone.

• Graphic problem of mission control

  Hi, I have an early 2013 MacBook Pro retina runs El Capitan 10.11.6

  Launch of Mission Control, there is a graphic problem: miniature Office are all gray, as you can see in the screenshot.

  I already tried to quit smoking Dock in activity monitor and running "killall Dock" in the Terminal. Restart the system, the problem persists.

  Any ideas?

  

  Hello GalaxyWorker,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that when you use the Mission control the thumbnails are gray. I often use in Mission control, so I know not being able to see the thumbnail of the available screens can be useful. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

  You did a great job trying to fix this problem yourself. First, I recommend that you test the problem in safe mode. Boot in safe mode allows your Mac perform certain controls, delete the cache and prevent the opening and start-up items to open automatically. Follow the steps below to start in safe mode.

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any key during startup

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  If the problem does not occur in safe mode, but returns when you restart normally, try to disable the login items using the link below.
  OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

  If the problem occurred then in safe mode, it is possible the user settings or files are the cause. In this case, please try the issue in a new user by following the instructions in the following link.

  Have a fantastic day!

• Qosmio X 870 - 13v - graphic problem steam L4D game - black shadow on the light

  Hello

  I play this game using 2 PC Toshiba laptop.

  A Satellite L670-1KZ: 2.67 Ghz - Radeon Mobility HD5650 - RAM 6 GB i5.
  A Qosmio X 870 - 13v: i7-3630QM 2.4 Ghz - GeForce GTX 670 M & Intel HD Graphics 4000 - 32 GB of RAM.

  On the 1st, I have no graphic problem.
  On the Qosmio, I have a BIG problem with little light that have large black stain on it.

  You can see the 'bug' on YT here below:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=c4E2DFScyfU&feature=youtu.be

  The configuration of the game is the same on both machines with the exception of the resolution.
  My drivers are up to date (GeForce & Intel).
  I uninstalled the game twice only = no results.
  Settings, to control panel Nvidia, I changed several times (Note option shadows cache) no = no results.
  I played with game config below only = no results.

  I posted on the forum of steam only = no response.
  I posted on the forum of Nvidia only = no response.

  So, can you help me solve this problem?

  With our thanks,
  Guillaume.

  You have any other graphic matter using this Qosmio X 870 - 13v?
  I mean other problems related to the image to appear in other games and other applications running?

  Otherwise I n t think that there is something wrong with the laptop.
  In this case, it looks like very specific issues between this game and probably the graphics driver.

  It turns out that you won't encounter problems under this game the Satellite L670 with ATI driver.
  The Qosmio is supported by the nVidia GPU

  I think there must be a link any between the nVidia GPU and this game.
  In my opinion you should look for the solution in the steam forums or nvidia even if you have not received answer yet.

• Satellite A660-1DW - screen graphic problem becomes faints

  Hi guys, this is the first time m write on any shape... !!

  Basically, I bought toshiba A660-1DW from argos 4 months after using it for 4 months VGA (display graphic problem becomes faints and a little colored lines appear on the screen)

  .. as I had the warranty for the laptop, I went to argos, told them the problem rather than send it back for repair they just have me service number customer toshiba...

  returned home rang Toshiba, they gave me a few REF a bit and asked me of the drop to the argos... the next day went to argos they accepted and send it to toshiba for repair... after 3 weeks they have me called yesterday picked up the phone after using the laptop for 5 minutes, same problem was there...

  then I took it back to argos they still accepted and send it for repair, but they also said if the problem 3rd time I'll have to take the same branch of argos from where I bought the laptop... .fondamentalement I bought in HOUNSLOW and I live in slough.

  the conclusion that I am crazy about her, here it is... TOSHIBA AND ARGOS these people got the WORST service you will ever find anywhere on the other hand,

  THESE PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE BETTER THEN TOSHIBA because IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT happy with the product they will replace or Exchange streight away...!

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop and the ASP has replaced everything for free because the guarantee was valid.
  The guys are really helpful and friendly, so I did a very good experience with the Toshiba service and notebooks of other manufacturers can also be defective

  Of course, there might be some difference between the different cases, but I can't say that the service is not ok

• What windows and Boot Camp for MBP 13 end 2011

  I have a MBP 13 end 2011. I want to install Windows 8.1 to launch my CAD software. I use Boot Camp Assistant 6. I run on OS X and have 4 GB of ram. Is this ok or are there other options recommended?

  Models 13 inches have the GPU from Intel. Your Mac has an Intel HD3K. Older versions of the software may perform better, but more recent versions can be slower on older hardware. What is the possibility of using a dual-GPU MBP? The more RAM, the better it is.

• Graphics problems during the game Age of Empire II in mode full screen in Windows 7

  Original title: screen resolution and/or graphics problem with Windows 7.

  Hi, I had currently two computers in my house upgraded to windows 7, one a Vista XP.

  I am trying to run Age Of Empires 2 on both computers, the game has installed and running with ease, however it won't let you play the game in full screen, and also the color of things like grass and trees appear in red and orange, water displays brilliant purple.

  I tried to change the windows screen resolution and the resolution of the options in the game, but it only changes in the percentage of the screen resolution, that he chooses to play in.

  I can solve this? All advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

  PS I tried to reinstall and update graphic drivers, both computers have the same problem of new clean installations of windows and Age of Empires 2.

  Thank you

  It is a problem due to the fact that AOE 2 was built on the platform Windows 95/98 Win9x. It will expose a few graphical artifacts while playing. You can try setting compatibility Win98 or Win95 check. There is also a workaround that may work in my opinion. You will need to search for "how to run StarCraft (1) on Windows 7" in Bing (Alternatively, Google: P) and it would show a site with a .bat file that could solve the problem of graphics in fullscreen.

  I hope this helps.

  What I did with StarCraft was this:

  On the desktop, right-click and select new text Document. Inside the Document, type this

  Taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
  D:\"StarCraft"\"StarCraft.exe".
  Start explorer.exe

  Just replace the location of StarCraft with the location of the AOE II.

  Save the file as: 'AOEII.bat' and then set the file type to the text file to all files.

  What happens is that if corrects the discoloration and restart the explorer again after the end of the game. Although there is no easy way to change the icon of the good bat file: P

  the only Web browser that is not affected by the present is chrome.  I knew another pile of graphic problems, including a very bright wallpaper, but that has inexplicably disappeared.  I'm sure that I've updated my graphics card drivers.  I tried to load games, and they work without any problem; the problem exists in these programs (that I know).  I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you
