  Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

  As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

• You can improve the macbook pro 15 inch 2015 logic board

  I am the proud owner of a macbook pro mid 2015, 15-inch retina display 2.2 Ghz i7 (integrated graphics).

  I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade dedicated to one with the graphics card logic board or is there a compatibility issue?

  I know that the macbook pro with dedicated graphics card is the same size and all that one that I have so I was wondering if the logic boards are the same size.

  I hope this isn't a stupid question.

  I'm sorry. After the purchase, upgrade of the internal components is not possible.

  If you wish, you can sell the Mac you have and buy another Mac with the specifications you want.

• Thunderbolt not connect not not on MacBook Pro (early 2011)

  Hello

  I'm trying to connect my early 2011 MacBook Pro to a hub CalDigit Thunderbolt. The Mac does not see the hub at all.

  I tried the hub with Macbook Air from a friend, and it works fine, so I guess there is a problem with my Thunderbolt port.

  The Thunderbolt on the Macbook pro port doubles as a mini display port and that works very well when connecting to a screen, but it doesn't seem to work like a thunderbolt (despite the lightning on the port symbol) port. Here is the report system for love at first sight. I wonder if I have the right firmware. I've just updated (10.10.5) operating system and that has not solved the problem. The point to use the hub to get connectivity USB 3 as the Mac has only 2 USB ports. Any help much appreciated.

  

  When you have tested the hub Thunderbolt on your friend's Mac, did you use your cable?  Maybe that's the problem.  If this isn't the case, then try reset SMC and NVRAM:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204063

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201295

  If no success, then the problem points to a hardware problem in the MBP.  Meeting in a bar in engineering of the Apple store for a FREE evaluation becomes your best option.

• Very loose hinges and possible virus on the Macbook pro

  Hi all

  IV ' e noticed my macbook pro screen hinges become very loose and the screen comes back without any force. How much does it cost to repair? Also, how a cleaning of the computer at a cost of virus? I did not buy my computer from an apple reseller but my local Best Buy.

  Thanks again!

  "How much does it cost to fix?

  First of all, check your warranty coverage > https://checkcoverage.apple.com/

  If your warranty has expired, take the Mac at Best Buy for repairs. No one here can tell what the repair might cost.

  In the second place. What happens on your Mac that makes you think that there is a virus?

• Possible problem with the Macbook pro retina display 13 "

  Hello, good afternoon:

  I just bought a new Macbook pro 13 '' two days ago Retina and everything seems ok until I see a rare noise which is like a whistle of low volume. This happens regularly, but sometimes every 10-15 seconds. I detect it only when the laptop is in a vertical position for example when I'm laying in bed watching a movie. Can someone tell me what that could this noise be? In its normal position, my macbook does no rare noise...

  Thanks in advance,

  EXB

  Not to hear a noise of a rMBP from the end of 2012 13 "and have never heard strange noises.

  Because yours is new and under warranty, you can consider taking it to a local Apple store and have them diagnose what might be the issue.

• 15 "MacBook Pro early 2011 screen and use failure, horizontal lines, edges off the coast of the center of the screen

  Hi there-

  recently worked when all of a sudden my screen turned to a variety of 'snow '. After about 2 seconds, he stopped, but the screen was seriously messed up. Horizontal lines apart a few millimeters, but the lines look as if they were moving a little. In addition, the edge of the screen is now near the Center, rather than on the edge of the physical screen. So, there is a black bar halfway in the screen which cut into 2.

  It froze the computer as well, if I pressed the power to restart. It loaded very well through the screen of apple, but as soon as he hit the login screen, he returned to no usable lines. Cannot get back in.

  Anyone that prior experience, or know what I can do to get out of trouble? Looks different from most other 'horizontal' issues I found in searching.

  Photo attached.

  Thanks and best,

  Curt

• How to connect my Macbook pro (early 2011) with an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB to a LG34UM57-P for the resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels?

  The maximum resolution that I receive is 1080 p not 2560 x 1600 (21 x 9 aspect ratio - ultra wide angle). My adapterw of the display is a Lindy Adapter Mini displayport to VGA/HDMI cable is a normal black HDMI cable.

  Any suggestions please?

  Yes... go to Preferences system, then poster and Option + click on scale and see what it does for you.  You should be able to get the maximum

  resolution on this monitor, which, as you mentioned is 2560 x 1080. Maybe you could go with just a displayport cable to connect the monitor to your MacBook Pro. I don't know exactly what model or year of MacBook Pro you have, but I guess it's fairly recent. The lindy adapter will do up to 2160 p and not more, so there is that... the only other thing I know is SwitchResX, but you would have to pay a little for that...

  so, here's my suggestions, aside from trying an adapter that supports the WQHD... (loan from 4 k) that is all I have

• Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

  What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

  New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

  Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

• My MacBook Pro early 2011 startup is extremely slow

  My Macbook Pro has now become very slow in recent years to the point that it takes about 2-3 minutes at the start and another 3 minutes for the Finder to start and bar + apps become available and be able to use (otherwise fury beach ball!).

  I always held up-to-date and think that the issue could have begun with a patch somewhere that might be too heavy on such a machine in (?) "old". I don't remember not to what update started... probably just after Snow Leopard or Lion.

  I did everything advised on the web, disk check, PRAM reset, remove and free on the hard disk, the cache of the system of cleaning with Terminal... I then used EtreCheck and the result was "below average", emphasizing 17 errors on the disk. What does that mean?? Should I reinstall the OS or should I replace the HDD and redo the whole machine? If one of these, how do I go about it for this laptop, if that's possible?

  Thank you!!!

• MacBook Pro, early 2011 / replacement?

  I have a 15 "MacBook Pro, since early 2011. I discovered that the battery will not hold a charge. Is the solution just a new battery? Which is something I can easily do myself. I don't want to say that this is not not a value just like a certain store of fixation.

  You can read this document from Apple:https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

• Install El Capitan on MacBook Pro early 2011 OS 10.7.5

  Hello!

  My friend has a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5 (early 2011). The computer is awfully slow, far worse than my laptop with similar specs that has had upgrades of the OS of the routine.

  Apple says you can upgrade directly to El Capitan of 10.7, but my question to you is, do you think it would be better to:

  (a) to keep the computer as-is and upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store

  (b) factory restore the original OS and then move on to El Capitan via the App Store

  (c) charge El Capitan on an external drive and then install El Capitan to the laptop from the external drive

  (d) another method

  Thanks a ton!

  (I should have noted - there is not any number of files or applications on the computer that must be kept - just a few photos, music and documents that are already stored on an external drive)
