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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • In order to get updates of Firefox, I need to install El Capitan.  El Capitan work well on a MacBook Pro 2011?

    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

  • I can feed my Macbook Pro 2011 usb port

    Is it possible to power (charge) my MacBook Pro 2011 USB port?  I had the case where I forgot my card (or used my MacBook more than expected) and he should be charged.  Since normally the USB provides power, I didn't connect it to a power outlet (via adapter).

    I am running OSX El Capitan.

    Thank you

    N ° USB came out only one power supply.

    is it because of power problems?

    Take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out. It should be under warranty. Bring the MBP along too. It sounds like there might be a problem with it.

  • 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.

    I think having fixed it, but... is it worth it?

    and he would go to El Capitan?

    is a 2.4 GHz macbook pro 17 able to run at el capitan thumbs?

    Is what model? No size, of the year. Since it will not start, indicate the model code found on the bottom or ask the cousin when he got it again.

    BTW, what could be the most recent is late 2011, when this size has been changed.

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, beginning 2013) El Capitan 10.11.3, Simple question here: I can't open FinalCut Express (4, I believe). The wheel turns for hours. How can I install/uninstall and will I lose all my old films (for the most part stored on external hard drives). Thanks for your suggestions.

    You will not lose anything, but the app if you uninstall. If you decide to uninstall use this app to make sure that all the other files which depends on FCE are also deleted however I can't give you any assurance as to whether you will be able to reinstall so that it works correctly. It is a software that has not been supported for almost 5 years and there are conflicting reports as to its compatibility with OS X 10.11. Can't I test it myself.

    Maybe someone else will chime in with their own experiences.

  • Snow Leopard to El Capitan on Macbook pro 2011

    Hello world

    I run a 2011 Macbook pro under Snow Leopard and need to update to El Capitan because of my iPhone 5 that runs on iOs 9.
    Question?

    Should I upgrade to El Capitan or keep Snow Leopard?
    Is anyone doing this update already on a similar mac?
    I heard that it would be possible to partition the drive and use the two Os x. My concern is that my macbook pro would be slower, it works perfectly fine at the time or perhaps the risk of overheating due to the upgrade?
    And of course, I could lose valuable software like Xpress, my Adobe CS5...

    Sorry for the many questions but I have not found answers on the forum yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Florian

    (1) keep SL, but use El Capitan on the same drive or on an external boot disk.

    (2) others have, and it is possible.  I did not, but I'm a bit of a killjoy.

    (3A) Yes, it is possible.  I would advise, so you can keep your software that will be useful if - I don't you am not mocking, I understand very well keep working software.

    (3B), it may be a bit slower.  If you have less than 16 GB of RAM (you can run that much) the effect could be a little more pronounced.  If you only have 4 GB of RAM, you need to upgrade RAM first IMO.

    (3 c) don't worry overheating.  Fan CPU/controls is sophisticated enough to keep things working, as long as you do not block the main back-vent.

    Path, you can follow:

    (1A), you can partition using disk utility, but you should have a very good clone/backup before doing just in case a very rare event of bad things.  You also told us not how big your current drive is and how you have used.

    (1B), you could get an external 2.5 drive and I suggest that you get an external Universal connection kit for $15 fix any bare drive.

    (2) you can download the installer from El Capitan, but out of the automatic "starts to install.  Then copy the installation application to another location of re - later use these packs to remove critical package "in-house" at the end of installation.

    (3) If you have a second drive of clone of your current system (my preferred method), you can upgrade this clone, while keeping intact internal drive and startup just externally for iPhone operations.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Windows 8.1 on Macbook Pro 2011

    Hello

    I try to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro 15 "2011 model running El Capitan

    I use Boot Camp and a 8GB USB DRIVE

    Firstly I have only two startup options Boot Camp, not three like I see in a lot of guides on how to do the installation.

    My options are:

    1. get the latest software for Windows Apple support

    2 install Windows 7 or newer

    After that I've marked both options download works, but once it's done I get a message telling me that the InstallationRecommandations does not exist.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance
