• MacBook Pro 2014 - failure of the graphics card for the 2nd time in 2 years - no guarantee

  Hi all

  end of 2014, I bought a new 13 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro mid 2014 model (A1502, EMC2875). A few months later, the graphics card has failed - no obvious reason. Apple replaced. Now, the graphics card has not yet. Still, the mac worked perfectly well (no overheating of the noise, nothing) and all of a sudden - no understandable reason or external actions, the graphics card has failed. Unfortunately, I do not have a guarantee of more. At least, I can access my documents by connecting two Macs, so I hope that the material is not affected.

  My model (1502) apparently only has a single integrated graphics processor.

  My questions:

  • After some research, I discovered that Apple used to have these problems with the 2011 edition. They have implemented a replacement program. Does anyone know sth on this subject?
  • What graphics card would you recommend? How much such a graphics card? Where could I buy a cheap?

  Of course, I don't want to reuse the same type - guess I don't have to explain how @* #&! I'm after two times the same problem within two years after the purchase of a brand new MacBook Pro...

  I would appreciate any recommendations and links!

  Best regards

  -As you say, your Mac model uses the graphics processor integrated in the CPU chip. So, there are ios no replacement possible. The CPU is soldered to the logic board

  -The problem with the 2011 MacBook Pro was with the discreet Nvidia, not the graphics unit integrated in the CPU graphics unit.

  -When you went to an Apple store just says the genius of APple?

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

• MacBook Pro 13,3 "retina Logic Board failure?

  I bought my MacBook Pro 13,3 "Retina display nine in early 2014 before going to College.  This is the most expensive item that I have ever owned I always made sure to take the greatest care in the use and handling.  About a week ago, I went to turn it on and a prohibitive symbol appeared on the screen (a white circle with a slash) and after that, it was completely cut off.  I took it to a (MicroCenter) renamed repair store and they said it was a failure of the logic board and would cost nearly $700 to fix.  Everyone knows this Council logical fault problem?

  I am extremely disappointed by Apple because I thought of them as the cream of the cream with advanced technology "State-of-the-art".  I expect this device to last until the end of my academic career to a minimum and the fact that it's broken in less than two years is absolutely unacceptable. I did some googling and I saw a trial about the logic board failures in 15 '' MacBook Apple of 2011-13 and had published a complementary repair program.  I hope they do the same with my case.

  Again, someone else has their logic board fail randomly?

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to Apple Support communities

  Sorry to hear that. I suggest you take a look at the forums of MacBook Pro to find cases similar to yours and check if there is a systemic problem or if you just had bad luck. Obviously it will not be a legal action if this problem is reduced to a few users, but there's a chance if this is stated as a failure of the design.

  About your problem, it looks more like a problem of flash storage rather than a failure of the logic board, but retina MacBooks Pro have most of their parts soldered to the logic board, so, any repair is quite expensive. Finally, if you live in a European country, remember that your Mac has got a 2-year statutory warranty, then you may qualify for a free repair.

• Is there an advantage to having a backup disk image of Macintosh HD (for MacBook Pro) to ease/speed of recovery after a disk failure rather than using Time Machine to recover?

  I'm trying to understand the best way to prepare for the recovery of a failure in the drive for a MacBook Pro.

  I do not understand the nuances of the time Machine - I know from personal experience that it is a recovery tool great when your existing drive is intact and you're just trying to restore a file.  But what happens if the drive has a hardware failure and needs to be replaced?

  Is there an advantage to take periodic images of Macintosh HD for quick recovery (and then using the incremental backups Time Machine to catch up to the current position).  Or Time Machine may facilitate a recovery in case of failure of the disc just as easily/quickly that will give it to have a separate image backup?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  YES!.  If you have a clone boot disk, you can either connect it to a MBP or Exchange it with the internal HDD failed and be back in business quickly.  Time machine, as good as is, can take several hours to restore your system, depending on the amount of data.

  For cloning, I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is not free, but it's worth the price:

  https://Bombich.com/

  I use it in conjunction with Time Machine.  (two backups are better than one)

  Ciao.

• hard drive failure. 09 Macbook Pro

  Recently, I took my laptop to the computer Loft in Boston to have replace the battery. I was told that the hard drive on my MacBook Pro ' 09 is a failure. The cost of the repairs it is near $600 (which includes a battery replacement). Although it runs slowly at the time, I have a hard time believing that the hard drive is in fact a failure. It is a common problem? I know that my laptop is considered vintage, but if this is a common problem, it is useful to have it repaired? In other words, if I spend the money to fix it, I get many more years out of it? (obviously, I ask you to expected, estimated responses based on the standard, since no one can give a definitive answer; (D)

  Before taking my laptop to the Loft of the computer, I took it to the Genius Bar at the Apple store in Dedham. They told me that it is running slowly because I have a new operating system on an older laptop. They suggested that I go down Snow Leopard.

  Can anyone offer any idea?

  Any comment is appreciated

  Don't know if that makes a difference, but I am running El Capitan 10.11.3

  on a late 2009 MacBook Pro 17IN HD had a power failure, leading to the replacement of the HD now, how do I get the 10. .  OS reloaded

  You have the original installation media supplied with your machine? This would be a way: use the DVD to boot from, format the new hard drive and then reinstall the operating system. You can then update/upgrade to 10.11.

  Other than that, your model was not eligible to have its firmware updated to allow for the recovery of the internet which is the only other way I know - at least the only other way besides a bootable clone, you did before your defective hard disks.

  Do not think to partition/format your new drive first.

• 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

• Failure of keyboard and trackpad MacBook Pro

  The keyboard and the trackpad on my Macbook Pro has stopped working properly. Here is the story:

  -from a few months, I noticed occasional problems where the keyboard and the trackpad may stop responding; a reboot always fixed it

  -a week, I woke up the Mac from sleep and he informed me that he could not find a keyboard or trackpad; given zero had no effect; keyboard and mouse USB Bluetooth worked

  -J' I reset the SMC. This has no effect

  -J' have tried a restore and noticed something very strange: because the restoration would take 6 hours or more, I needed to use the Mac, I cancelled restore... and the keyboard and trackpad worked well... for a day about

  -J' started having intermittent problems with keys does not, then the keyboard and trackpad stopped working again. It recharges worked, but only a couple of times and then I had to use the external keyboard and mouse once again

  -J' started another restoration, yet once I gave up because I needed access to the Mac... and the keyboard and trackpad work again.

  I intend to try a full restore of the day to the next.

  Other tips appreciated.

  OS X 10.11.5

  MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

  Hello CocoGriff!

  Thanks for reaching out on your trackpad and keyboard works intermittently on your MacBook Pro.  Looks like you've got a good start on things so far.

  Reinstall OS X can be good to rule out a software problem, causing their lack of reaction.  Before we get to that, you can try restarting in safe mode to see if they act even in safe mode.

  Follow these steps 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.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  If it is the same in safe mode, then you can proceed with reinstalling Mac OS X.

  I hope all is well! See you soon!

• retina failure SSD MacBook Pro early 2013

  Since a few weeks, my MacBook Pro 10.1 (beginning 2013) retina a 512 GB SSD running the Mavericks has been sporadically crashing.  The disk has been partitioned, with a Mac OS X partition and a BootCamp partition.  An accident resulted in my default Mac partition.  DiskUtility told me that the volume cannot be repaired and back up my data as soon as POSSIBLE.  I managed to get everything on the Mac OS X partition.  The BootCamp partition seemed ok.  I checked the data verified S.M.A.R.T. ok.  I reformatted the Mac OS X partition.  Everything worked well for a few weeks, and then the accident began.  I took this as a problem of BONE rather than a hardware problem.  Today, the Mac crashed again and I forced a restart.  In other words, I tried to force a restart, but the drive didn't completely this time.

  The time has come when you'll thank who bought AppleCare...

• 2005 failure screen MacBook Pro?

  2005 old MacBook Pro Active. But the start screen starts shows the colored vertical lines and large white space in the right corner. Malfunction of equipment with LCD?  I tried methods listed on the support page. Problem persists.

  'Impact' point on the lower right part of the screen indicates that the computer was to be abandoned, or that it was something press against the screen, like a finger or something.

  It sounds like accidental damage, not a malfunction of the equipment.

• You have a 2011 Macbook Pro with NO GPU failure?

  Hi all.

  I am considering buying a 15 "MBP end 2011 hi res, screen matte, and with the chipset 6750 m from a friend. It worked without any of the well known symptoms since it's production.

  My question is:

  Is it possible to actually own a Macbook Pro with the chipset hit without a logic board/GPU problems?

  
  

  
  

  What I think:

  If 10 + million Macbook Pro have been produced with these chipsets in 2011/12, if it's only a tiny fraction who suffers actually total ventilation - all online writing is negative - no one does not write when their machine works.

  What is your opinion on that? Can someone ellaborate?

  Thank you

  Only Apple has statistics that would give any valid information on the magnitude of this problem.  For what it's worth, the program was extended until the end of the year.

• Failure of Adobe Camera Raw 9.3 dmg for Sony RX1RII with MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 [using the CS6]

  While Adobe says his record the FIRST 9.3 update plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Extended) strives to convert directly from the RXRII of Sony camera RAW files, is not. Maybe my MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 exceeds the 10.11 noticed on the Adobe Camera Raw graph?

  Please notify.

  CS6 can only be updated up to a maximum of ACR 9.1.1 to install cab 9.3 in CS6, attempts fail.  You can check which version you have by any plug-in / Camera Raw (I think on a Mac).

  You can register CC (LR+PS@$120/yr=$10/mo is the least expensive) or use the DNG Converter to DNG for raw files and the DNG, but not the native raws, open in your older software.

• MacBook Pro crashed after update to macOS Sierra

  After I tried to update my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra, this screen came:

  In case you can't read it, it says "apple.com/support-1007F'.

  After restart my MacBook Pro, he asked for my Wi - Fi connection information, so I typed in it and it showed a loading bar. Then came to this screen:

  

  I didn't know which option to choose, what is called Apple Care to help make a choice. They said to choose 'Reinstall OS X' so I did. Then my screen says something like "click and drag to the browser that you want to download in" but nothing has popped up.

  I don't know what is happening with my computer. Hard drive failure? This update was not the largest update so I don't know why all this is happening.

  If you have any ideas or solutions, please respond! That would be incredible!

  Thank you guys!

  It seems that your Mac can not find the system disk. It seems that the drive has failed and your Mac is now in recovery mode.
