Loose key keyboard MacBook Pro 2011

Is anyone having problems with certain keys on the keyboard detaches? It is true that it is a 2011 and gets a lot of hits (the keys A, E and N are worn down). The letter "O" button became loose and wobbly; even pushing down (it would snap into place of thought) didn't work. Each of the keys are auto repairable? A guy at the CityMac told me that I need to replace the entire keyboard unit. Please tell me that is not so.

It's true. Replace the keyboard.

  • Memory - Macbook Pro 2011

    Help, please! I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch end 2011. I want to upgrade the memory of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) to 16GB (2 x 8 GB).

    Can I buy 16GB and they say it's for the MacBook Pro 2011, but it says on the site of Apple 8GB maximum memory.

    Everyone is running 16GB and it works fine?

    I upgraded to El Capitan, and my mac seems slower.

    Back in 2011 8 GB SODIMM costs $1000 + if they still existed.  Apple tested the SODIMM 4 GB at reasonable price and never reviewed the hardware older after 8 GB SODIMM fell to $50.

    I run 16 GB Crucial in my MBP 2011 very well.  Crucial or OWC (macsales.com) sell RAM reliable and provide guarantees for life.

    Have a 2011 MacBook Pro, just received a message from Firefox saying that they support is more Yosemite 10.10.5 in a few months (updates, security updates etc.) and I need to improve my ios.  Question... are there problems with El Capitan on a MacBook Pro 2011?  Thank you

    not that I've heard of. You will need to make sure that you have at least 4 GB of ram on board, except that you should be good to go. Log in the App store, grab a copy and follow the instructions on the screen. You may need to reboot at least once...

    Good luck

  • It is possible (and useful) to upgrade my Macbook Pro 2011 (early)?

    My Macbook Pro 2011 (start) 13 "has served me very well. I took the approach to resist many updates over the past 1.5 years).

    However, in the last 6 weeks, it really began to slow down. I'm not too keen on the storage in the Macbook Pro 2015 options so not sure I want to buy immediately. I have never tried to upgrade the macbook - so I don't know how easy/possible/useful it is to do. Here is my card... can someone tell me if this can be improved and if so, if she's worth ($-wise)?

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 3000 384

    Free GB 498 296 GB

    Contains 2 memory slots, which each accept a DDR3 1333 MHz memory bar. Each unit already has 2 GB.

    No game - I use it mainly for work (freelance marketing/communication - writing, presentations, artistic director) and the House (photos/home movies, internet, backup of the device).

    Slow down especially occurs in switching between programs, using products MS - sometimes opening and closing old/new docs. Internet connectivity usually ok but slow switching between windows in Safari.

    Any suggestions, help would be very appreciated. I want to take a decision quickly before it begins to die.

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

    You cannot use a USB on Mac 2011 Installer. Please burn the ISO on a physical DVD Windows (a DVD - R Carbon SL on the rate of burning slower is better) and use it to install Windows. The file Info.plist changes only allowing the creation of USB, but does not fully support a USB Installation.

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on retina Macbook Pro 2011

    I try to install and run Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2011 with OS 10.10.5."

    I read a ton of forums, and they say all get a Windows 8 ISO from Microsoft Web site. I did it.

    Then, they say get a Virgin USB key and plug it in. I did, and I put the ISO on my USB external drive.

    Then he said: open Boot Camp Assistant, what I do, but then it does not match what say all forums. When I open the Boot Camp Assistant, he goes to the Introduction page. I click CONTINUE and the next page says SELECT TASKS. The only two available tasks are to "Download the latest software from Apple support" or "install Windows 7 or later.

    I select both, it asks me to select my destination drive, what I do, then click "CONTINUE".

    It downloads the Windows support software.

    Then I get an error message that says "Installer disc cannot is, wait a few minutes for something (I forget exactly).»

    So I wait and nothing happens and I'm back on the screen SELECT TASK.

  • "Repair of battery" after 200 cicles (macbook Pro 2011)

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro from mid-2011 and after around 200 cicles, he says "service battery", but the battery works perfectly well, of course it takes only 2 hours or less because it is already 5 years (and we all know that it is a complete lie that the batteries takes 8 hours - I don't guess if you turn away and look at him without touching a single key).

    In any case... I formatted the computer and reinstalled the OSX and the sign disappeared. But after a few days, it reappeared. I tried to restart the MSC, but nothing has changed.

    I read on some pages, that after a few OSX update, many macbook Pro from this year had the same problem, so that you would to buy a new battery, even when there is nothing wrong with it.

    Any suggestions?

    There is probably something wrong with it, otherwise the system would not report it. Two hours is remarkably short for a good work of this model battery. And besides: battery fault may start to swell and cause serious damage to your Macbook. I don't think not twice before replacing a battery of 5 years.

  • Trackpad and keyboard Macbook Pro retina don't work

    I got my Macbook Pro for 3 months with all be good... until this morning, after that start, the keyboard and the trackpad do not work. External elements of USB keyboard/mouse do not work.

    I checked around and other people seem to have had the same problem, but do not work all the mentioned methods (SMC, NVRAM) reset. I talked to Apple who say that they will have to take a look and maybe fix it. But since that I use for my work that I can't be without it for 3-5 days, as I don't get paid!

    Has anyone fixed this problem themselves? If the reset didn't work or was it a hardware problem?

    You can go to universal access and make sure that setting are good, such as sticky key is off to the keyboard and the mouse button is off the mouse and trackpad. Or use the R command to restore the operating system. Should make sure that all your fillings are saved to do a restore only effects of the operating system, but backup is always a good idea. But this does not solve the problem, you will still need to make an appointment at the genius bar and bring it in.

  • MacBook pro 2011 - starts greenish screen not

    Hi all

    I wonder what is happening to my macbook pro.

    Product: macbook pro start 2011-2 GHz - 8 GB ram - running os 10.11.4

    symptoms: suddenly stopped last week when I was watching a movie. Note that the fans were noisy given that the weather was warm and the hot computer as well. Now it starts but won't go to the part of connection. It shows a greenish screen with weird block lines. Please see the pictures attached.

    Looks like it could be the graphics card.

    I tried to clear the NVRAM, boot in safe mode and reinstall in wifi, but that did not help

    I tried to get an appointment at the apple shop local, but the waiting time is just crazy...

    Thank you for your support.

    Charles

    Use the Installation of Snow Leopard original CD and see if you can access disk utility and run first aid on the HARD drive.

    If you need, ask.

  • MacBook Pro 2011 died following upgrade to el Capitan.

    Maxed out 2011 (with built-in dvd) 15 "MacBook Pro DIED after El Captain upgrade."

    I tried SMC and variations on this theme that you find on the web and in the brains of friends.

    Green light is on the power plug, never falters, change or flashes.

    After all, computer is still dead and dormant.

    Hi, bobfromhampton berries!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reading your post, I understand that your MacBook Pro is not on as planned; the MagSafe power adapter displays a green light, but the computer itself will not feed. I rely on my Mac every day, so I definitely want to make sure that yours does not work as expected.

    Reset the SMC has been a great step in this situation. Since it did not help to get power from the computer, I recommend you put the computer in a service provider authorized Apple or Apple Retail Store for an inspection. You can find places, find contact information and define the reserves by visiting the following Web site.

    Apple - Find locations

    Alternatively, you can look in the service for your MacBook Pro here: Response Service - Mac notebooks

    Have a great day!
