MBP 17 inch 2.5 GHz end 2011 video-questions

Good day to you all.

Confusion serious, for me anyway.

There are and have had problems with the AMD Radeon HD 6750 M and HD 6770 M graphics cards. Suddenly distorted video, random reboots, odd shaped and colored stalls artefarcts etc., in the start of the end.

I happen to have one of those affected Mbps, a late 2011 model, 17-inch core i7, 2.5 GHz, the model identifier MacBookPro8, 3, model number A1297, EMC 2564. It's still fully usable, nothing wrong, but who could, not necessarily expected or, will come to an abrupt end as many owners, some of my friends have known and display these columns.

The site of Apple "MacBook Pro repair Extension program for video Issues" (https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/), I learned:

products concerned:

• models of MacBook Pro 15 inch and 17 inch made in 2011.

• MacBook Pro 15 inch with retina models made from mid-2012-beginning 2013

I walked to my S/N MBP, it turns out that my MBP is no longer covered.

MacTracker 7.5.5 I learn that the MBP A1297 introduced in October 2011 and abandoned by June 2012.

Repair of Apple (for models non-retine) program talks about the models made in 2011.

My question: how about the models made between January and June, 2012?

Something has been changed or modified in order to get rid of the problems of graphics cards? Something like, say, update motherboard, graphics, a radiator, redesigned, more powerful fans?

For me, it's quite confusing, via this link www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html, I discovered that my MBP 17 inch out of the Assembly line the 5th week of 2012, factory C0, Quanta Computer China. I'm not the first buyer, I don't know who it was, or when it was first purchased.

What I worry, in other words is my MBP 'off-the-hook '?

Could someone shine some light in this?

With sincere greetings from continental Europe

The original questions developed in some 2010 models with integrated graphics discrete AND who uses graphics switching. These have proved to finally have a DEFAULT MONSTER - a defect in the graphics chip itself. The problem was there from the moment when they were built, but itself has failed, until these Macs have been highlighted or installed the latest versions of Mac OS X.

In order to determine what was causing the growing pile of bad mothers replaced the field, Apple has developed the video switching Test (VST).

Trying to continue studying these issues, other issues appeared in some 2011 models. These were not the same hidden defects in the chips, but Apple has never revealed exactly what they were.

Some users suggested that they might have been problems with the excessive heat generated or process, such as the exact used solder type, or the amount the technique with which it has been applied, or all of this and more. You must be certain that all relevant updates have been applied, (if any) that these may affect cooling fan control.

When you see a reminder that is limited to a certain period of time, you can generally be assured that if your Mac does not fall within the time limits stipulated it is simply NOT submitted the issues addressed in the callback.

To be eligible for the reminder, your Mac must strictly comply with ALL requirements. It is a very small subset of users whose MacBook Pro of the time period appropriate have additional problems and will not start. They are NOT eligible for the free motherboard replacement, because they can not run (and therefore may not) the VST test.

End of 2008 MBP 15 inch 2.4 Ghz SSD disorders!

I've really hit a wall with this and was wondering if its worth even more of my money and time or if I should return the SSD I bought & just save for a Mac Mini. I used a Sandisk 960 GB SSD (which since I traded for a 960 GB PNY because Sandisk appears that 120 GB after having formatted SEVERAL times). Problem is now the PNY will not boot the OS when plugged into my computers sata port. I can do it on an external box, but when it comes of it working in cable SATA Mbps, it is to be dead in the water or restarts constantly. I managed to do start ONCE but the programs would not stay open. (you mind my 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint drive starts VERY WELL even if it's a 5400 RPM HARD drive tray which is where all my files, etc are that I also have important things, copied on a 1 TB Seagate external drive). I did some research and I have a strong hunch is maybe that my Sata cable is bad (although I've run AHT and everything came to work in a quick and extended test), found a site online that sells used cables for cheap but at this point, I wonder if his same worth going too far into it. (I am also under a 14 days policy back to BestBuy where the SSD Exchange has been made) Any ideas on what I should do?

Thank you very much

Replace the SATA cable. The symptoms you describe are a common phenomenon where the HARD drive works internally and the SSD will not.

I would try to get a NEW cable. Used may have the same problem as your current has.

Ciao.

I have a MBP end 2011 running yosemite which is dead. How can I migrate (from Time Machine) on a similar MBP (mid-2012). I don't mind if I lose data on the MBP of the latter. Essentially, I want my old MBP to take the newest one.

My MBP end 2011 died. I want to migrate its content on Time Machine to a bit newer MBP. Basically the old MBP return to the most recent. It doesn't matter if the data on the new MBP are lost. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

Yes you can do it. Pondini (here) has a few options to do.

You can also try Migration Wizard. See this article. But I'd go with Pondini, the guru of the Time Machine.

How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

Hello

I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

Here are some technical details of my current system:

-MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

-OS yosemite

-16 GB of memory/RAM

-Currently using stock HD

All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

End 2011 13 "MacBook Pro battery capacity

I noticed the battery on my end 2011 13 "MacBook Pro does not seem to hold charge for a long time, I can take the machine off and he will die in about 90 minutes of light use from 100 to less than 10%

I tried a full cycle of discharge and recharge and checked the number of cycle in the details of the system (screenshot below):

Any ideas why the battery loses capacity so quickly? I'm not under all the apps that are starved for power and it drains quite quickly sleep when disconnected from the power supply.

Just in case where, exit all open Applications before you put the Mac to sleep to see if that makes a difference.

How can I switch from OSX Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro?

How to move from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro? I get an error 'install the distribution of the error signed by apple. I'm sure I need first to switch to something else, but I have no idea where to start.

1. check all your applications to ensure compatibility with ElCapitan.

When those you want to keep (as possible) have a compatible update: you can update after installation.

2 ElCapitan performs better with more than 4 GB of Ram, although in very low load systems, it runs on 2 GB.

3. your hard drive doesn't have to be "nearly complete."

4. go in the Appstore and download ElCapitan (the download comes in your Applications folder)

The installer is removed after installation, so if you like to keep a copy before starting the installation.

5. install all applications updated.

Yes, and you need a Thunderbolt cable to connect the two. You can use the Migration Assistant to transfer files from the old to the new, or you can do it manually.

You use the target disk Mode for the transfer. See: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac or once the former is in CT you can access on the desktop like any other hard disk drive.

Cintiq 21UX DTZ-2100 Compatible with end 2011 Macbook Pro?

Everyone successfully connected a Cintiq 21UX to an end 2011 macbook pro? I could make using Windows 7 via bootcamp, however I was unsuccessfully trying to get IOS Lion to recognize the monitor. Am I missing something? I'm using the latest drivers and a DVI - I to mini display port connector.
Thank you!
M rich

As much as I hate to say it, for the sake of someone else who has this problem, I'll answer my own question. I talked to a representative WACOM today and they asked if I'd handed the switch at the rear of the CINTIQ to DVI mode or if it was the VGA mode. Of course, it is VGA. After I hit the switch of the CINTIQ worked perfectly.
