Mid 2012 15 "MBP - cracking speaker right retina

A few days ago a never-before-heard strange noise fly across the country, started broadcasting from what seems to be the right speaker on my MBP 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB.  I had been using the computer for more than an hour on the flight before the noise began.  Start-up mute the speakers did not stop or impact noise.  Restarting the computer didn't help (the noise stops when the computer turns off), although finally the noise went away on the flight.  Since then, the noise returned periodically (at least once or twice a day).  I saw messages about the noise of the fan, but this does sound something like a fan.  It's almost like a static cracking noise.  Any ideas what this could be and how can I solve this problem?

Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.

  • Mid 2012 Macbook Pro with or without retinal incredibly slow

    Hello, I'm typing this for my mother. It has a mid-2012 Macbook pro without the retina which is very slow. She has recently updated to 16 GB of ram, and we are all pretty sure she did her properly. He constantly beach balls and takes more than a minute to launch Safari. The fan is also strong enough now. He runs the El captain. Thank you in advance!

  • Then the MBP mid 2012 retina manage 2560x1440@60Hz?

    Hey,.

    I want to buy a monitor 1440 p (probably the Acer H257HU 25 "") and I wonder if my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) retina can handle full resolution at 60 Hz. I read that HDMI 2560 x 1440 is limited to 30 Hz or a little less than 60 Hz (at least on Mac OS). Can I get 60 Hz via a miniDP to DP cable? Thanks in advance,

    deermichel

    Yes. Mini Display port is a better method of HDMI connection. Plug the connector Mini DisplayPort to the ends of the cable port on your MacBook Thunderbolt.

  • Battery for MBP mid-2012?

    Hello

    I would like to know if Apple can sell me a replacement battery for my MBP mid-2012, 13 inches, Non-retine?

    Or should I have apple install for me?

    If so where can I buy it and how much is?

    Apple would be happy to service your MBP for you. Here is a repair guide to change the battery, sounds easy enough.

  • MacBook Pro (mid-2012) retina.  Battery message "Condition: replace now!  What needs to be replaced and what should be the cost?

    I live in South Africa and have one of the retina MacBook Pro 15 "(mid - 2012).  A message appeared recently advising "Condition: replace now."  We approached Apple in Cape Town (South Africa) providers and received two different answers on what needs to be repaired and what would be the cost.  First of all, we were told that battery and top case had to be replaced at a cost of 5268.00 South African Rand.  When you take the computer repair, told that the keyboard was also being replaced with the battery and the top box, and that the price had esculated to South African Rand 12600.00 (for the part or parts only).

    Could we inform you on what needs to be repaired/replaced in such a circumstance? And the planned price range should be for repairs/parts.

    Thank you!!!

    They gave a reason for the top box of replacement?

  • Questions about Macbook Pro mid 2012 (Non-retine)

    Hi all

    I think to buy my second MacBook.

    Currently, I have a MacBook Air mid 2013.

    It's screen/flash storage is a little on the small side for me.

    Then I watched www.apple.com/benl and sought an Apple laptop that fits my needs.

    And I fell on the MacBook Pro Non-retine (bottom of the page for MacBook Pro)

    So my questions are:

    Estimated life: it will last at least 2-3 years with what I'll do with it. (Read below for my needs)

    It will be always fast enough, there is no need to be fast, but the average speed is necessary (startup time doesn't really matter unless it's longer than 5 minutes).

    How long he will be out of date it will get most recent OS X updates for couple preferably 2-3 years.

    Is it possible to perform the following operations on this MacBook Pro (my needs):

    Some games like: GTA V (on lowest settings), Borderlands, Minecraft, Euro Truck Simulator 2,... (GTA V is working on my MacBook Air but must run from external HARD disk).

    Run Windows 7 in BootCamp.

    Surf the web

    Watch YouTube videos in 1080 p/720 p

    Basic PhotoShop

    I'm not going to do things:

    Edit video.

    Record Gameplay videos.

    Should what configuration I:

    Cheaper, configuration of stock or choose for Core i7 and 8 GB of RAM I don't need an SSD (it's small, expensive).

    I "need" core i7 and 8 GB of RAM or only 8 GB of RAM or only Core i7, just stock or stock with 8 GB of RAM.

    Thanks in advance!

    You can watch in Macs, refurbished Apple . These are like new only to an economy and you might find a slightly more than the current date to run Windows 7 in Bootcamp. A mid-2012 will take place in Windows 7 in Bootcamp. I bought 3 Mac (Mac Mini, 2 - MBP retinas) in the past and have never had a problem. They carry the same warranty that any new Mac. I think that any Mac you buy is easily past 2-3 years with what you want to run.

    In the list of the things you mentioned, if you get a 2015 model, you will not be able to run Windows 7 in Bootcamp. You pouvez run it in a Virtual Machine like Parallels Desktop 11. I have a retinal model of 2015 and Bootcamp can only setup for Windows 8 and more. So, I run Windows 7 and 10 in a VM using Parallels Desktop. Personally, I would not run any graphics intensive games on your laptop, but you certainly can if you don't mind hearing that run the fans.

    Certainly, 8 GB of RAM (minimum) with a 256 GB or larger SSD drive. You can do what others are doing and future proof your Mac by getting 16 GB or RAM. Current models have bus PCIe for flash storage and it's fast! I had a late 2012 with flash SATA storage retina and my current 2015 beginning with PCIe is much faster. Insofar as an Intel i5 or i7, it's really you. With what you mentioned, the i7 would probably be a good choice.

    Thanks in advance for you help! you are always great.

    Let me discourage you to install the Samsung SSD.  There was some problems with Samsung SSD (in addition to success). noticed on these forums.  Note also that Samsung does not Mac compatibility on their web site.  I can recommend the SSD from Crucial and OWC based on my experience and that of others.

    Your MBP will support up to 16 GB of RAM.  However, the best sources for RAM compatible Macs are also OWC and Crucial.  When it comes to RAM and some brands simply do not work even when the specifications indicate they should the Mac are very selective.  Ensure that the specifications are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    Ciao.

  • Need instructions/tips for no Win8.1 on mid 2012 MBP pro audio problem

    Thank you for taking your time looking in my question.

    My Machine: Macbook Pro retina no Mid 2012

    What I wanted: install win 8.1 pro 64 bit on a second SSD completely (without Partition) / replace the optical drive

    My problem: everything works fine, but no sound. Drivers seem to be the cause:


    How I installed windows:

    1. I put the own ssd in the main Bay + optical drive with disk 8.1 win

    2. Windows disk initialized and installed windows 8.1 64-bit without errors

    3 install the drivers for bootcamp support

    4 returned the Mac ssd go back to the main Bay and put the ssd of windows in the caddy and then in the optical Bay

    5. starting is by holding alt and choosing between mac os, recovery and boot efi (which contains windows)

    What I tried (all of the following are ineffective):

    1 reinstall/repair drivers bootcamp support from different sources (of the download on the website of apple and the bootcamp assistant application)

    2 reinstall the realtek drivers

    3. how to install intel drivers graphics hd 4000 (found a source who said it would do the trick, there is no)

    4 uninstallation of controller high definition Audio (it always seems to come back)

    5. manually download and install the drivers http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip cirrus

    I get the following error:

    6. place the ssd of windows in the main Bay

    7 troubleshooting sound (a 99% sure that this would not work)

    8 throw up my hands in despair and uncontrollable crying afterwards (was probably the most effective on 8)

    That I need clarification on:

    I found found some sources say that installing windows via EFI mode causes no sound, but I'm not sure if the way I installed it is considered to be the efi mode as I have never had an option for efi mode. However when I start upward and hold option the name of the windows disk named ' BOOT EFI. Efi mode is how I installed windows?

    What I need instructions on:

    Some sources claim that I need to install windows in hybrid MBR mode however I do not know how I would install windows any differently than the way I did above. How can I go about installing, not in start efi mode, if I want to spend the whole ssd for windows / that I would do anything differently than the steps I listed up there?

    Thanks a lot again for your time and help!

    Windows must be in the main Bay and must stay in the main Bay after installation. You can either use the wizard of BC and create a USB installer which will also create a legacy BIOS/MBR W8.1 (default value for your specific model) or if you choose to do it manually, make sure that the icon of Windows from the installation media, not EFI Boot.

    If you start from the DVD W8.1, the default value is Boot EFI. BC Assistant did a bit of work for you, in order to avoid the is not a good idea.

  • Replace the HARD drive in mid-2012 MBP of SSD?

    Given to replace my HARD drive of 1 TB in MBP mid-2012.  This MBP has already been customized (by Apple) to 2.9 GHz i7 8 GB mem.

    I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

    Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD (MZ-75E1T0B/AM)

    IS it really that simple, as suggested by some video: current copy to SSD connected externally, than to go ahead with replacement? Then you can continue normal OSX updates as usual?

    Is it really worth?

    Yes, I do some "prosumer" video (FCP) and audio (Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools) - and use external USB 3 HARD drive.

    Yes, it was worth it. The difference between day and night.

    It's easy. How to create a clone of startup

  • Mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro does not stop

    My mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro running El Capitan (v 10.11.5) won't shut down or restart. Taken to the Apple store where they ran diagnostics on it and can't find anything wrong. Suggested I have reinstall the OS. I reinstalled, then backed up with Time Machine. The problem persists.

    I think I can get a report of incidents which may be helpful, although I've never shared before. To include or omit any information would be helpful.

    Especially the crash report reads "identifier" and "responsible" as: "com.apple.AmbientDisplayAgent". Type 'Exception' is ' EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) "and the" subject crashed ' reads ' queue 5 sending: DispEventQueue "."

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I see now mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro El Capitan (v 10.11.5) running.

    It does nothing?  I think I would resume.

    They run the VST (video-Test systems)?  If this isn't the case, I'll ask for it.

  • BlackLight without graphics (MBP mid-2012)

    Long time lurker, first time poster.

    Hello everyone. I own a Macbook Pro, mid-2012 model (101), processor intel i5. Last summer, I upgraded the RAM 16 GB and 2 TB HARD drive. Earlier, I noticed my MBP ran hot and strangled more often than usual. I searched online for solutions, and I read on the application of new thermal paste. I bought the kit ArctiClean as well as the Arctic Silver thermal paste from Amazon and took care with the process of cleaning and application using an iFixit guide how apply the paste. I reassembled the Macbook Pro and the display came on well, the fan was noisy out of control, and research also indicated that I didn't apply enough thermal paste, so I still once disassembled, added a little more dough based on the suggested amount and put it back together. This time, however, when I cut off the computer, the sound the chime that's happened and everything but the screen was black! I sat there for a while and the fire of backlight and the keyboard is come (which means the computer started), but there was no image, just black light. I double and triple checked all the connections the card logic to ensure that everything was good and safe, but there was no luck. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM again, no luck. I know that my warranty is void so I'm not the penalty to take it to an Apple store, does anyone have any suggestions?

    PS - There is no drop or to the computer water damage

    Attaches the MBP to a monitor.  If the monitor is also black, which indicates a GPU problem.  If there is a good image on the monitor, the disply or display connection is defective.

    Don't be reluctant not to take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar.  All appraisals are FREE, regardless of the status of the guarantee.  Then, you'll know exactly what you are dealing with.

    Ciao.

  • beach ball of rotation on el capitan (mbp mid 2012)

    Hey all - if my macbook pro has been slow for as long as I can remember, even after its purchase for the school.  A year ago I was almost all replaced: the monitor, the logic, the RAM card (all except the mouse pad, battery and HD).  I get a constant spinning beach ball about any program running.  Spotify, CC adobe and microsoft programs are less efficient that I usually use. Even the right click is difficult.

    Any ideas?

  • MacBook pro retina display (mid-2012) goes black

    All by using the computer to randomly screen goes completely black.  After a few attempts at tapping trackpad or a bite or two, screen turns on but then log on to the computer. Program I was running is still there and continues on. It is very random and I fear that a logic board or the video card component may be out.  MacBook Pro retina display mid-2012, 16 GB 1600 mHz DDR3 RAM, graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 1024Mo of 650M;  2.6 i7 running OS 10.11.2

    Hi James,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple! I'm sorry to hear that you are having these problems with your MacBook Pro. I'm a bit ambiguous on the screen exactly who you see when you log in, but according to your description it looks that your computer may be involuntarily go to sleep. If this is the case, you can find the troubleshooting steps in the following article useful:

    If your Mac does not sleep or wake up when expected - Apple supports

    As mentioned in this article, another possibility on laptops like the MacBook Pro is that the screen closed sensor may be triggered unintentionally. There is a small magnetic sensor in portable computers and sometimes, being close to things like briefcases magnetic closure or magnetic jewelry can cause him to think that the display was closed, which then puts the machine in a locked sleep state. If possible, you can test the issue on an office open without any potential source of interference.

    Magnets in devices could cause sleep your Mac computer - Apple Support

    See you soon
