On problem of MacBook Pro keyboard (2011)

My MacBook Pro (2011), in courses running 10.6.2 has developed a keyboard problem.

I can not type the u. W or w.

At first I thought that this could be a problem with any browser I was using at the time, but it happens on Word and Pages.

I'be restarted a few times, but it is an intermittent thing since the last two weeks.

I'm typing this on my iPad right now.

I don't know if it is worth to replace the keyboard, or get an additional keyboard - Bluetooth compatible perhapps.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

It's 10.6.8 I am running 10.6.2

  • Kingston Hyperx SSD Savage - compatibility problem of Macbook Pro start 2011

    I bought Kingston Hyperx Savage 480 GB SSD with the intention to install it into my Macbook Pro beginning 2011. but my Mac does not recognize the SSD when I connect it via USB. The strange part when I restart the Mac keeping the SSD attached to it, he acknowledged. And I can copy and paste normally. in the case where if I deleted and plugging it back in, it is appears as not counted. is there a solution for this or if I should change the SSD?

    Should work well.

    connect the USB box,

    Start DiskUtility, (a) select the drive, the long name,

    Select the partition tab in,

    partition with the Table to Partition GUID, 1 partition only, OS X Extended (journaled), give it a name (like Mac - SSD).

    After that it is ready to clone the boot disk and then swap the drives.

  • Trackpad MacBook Pro late 2011 does not not after upgrade

    I just update the OS in my MacBook Pro (late 2011) which worked perfectly well 'El Capitan' to 'Sierra '. Everything went, smooth and pleasant. but now, the trackpad is completely erratic, is in itself (such as move and open programs like possessed). I tried several suggestions from apple such as checking for updates, check the settings, delete all the gestures, etc. I'm assuming that the material is very well that was perfectly fine yesterday... any suggestions please help.   -Note; I have to use an external mouse, and the latter is very well.

    Hello Med_,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that after upgrading to Sierra, your MacBook trackpad has become erratic. I know that my trackpad is an important part of my daily use, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm here to help get this resolved with you.

    You did an excellent job so far! Then I recommend the system management controller (SMC) reset. This system can solve some unexpected behaviors. Follow the steps below:

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Unplug the MagSafe from Mac power adapter.
    3. Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in the MacBook and MacBook Pro computers).
    4. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    5. Reconnect the battery and the MagSafe power adapter.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the Mac.

    The LED on the MagSafe power adapters could change State or temporarily disable when you reset the SMC.

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If the problem persists, test this problem in safe mode. This will allow you to exclude the software as the cause. To help get started in safe mode and additional steps, use the steps and the link below:

    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.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    See you soon!

  • MacBook pro 15 2011 10 windows restart issue

    Hello

    I have the macbook pro 15 2011 with intel core i7 2 GHz. 4 GB ram 500 GB drive HARD + SSD 120 GB (purchased recently with tray adapter HDD/SSD).
    I have a strange problem with RESTART MAC in windows 10 company. If I restart windows by start I get a black screen with a single line: no aucun disque disk boot found, insert a floppy disk and press a key. I tried once more to restart, but the second time I pressed the ALT options and found strange thing that start menu does not show anything after a few minutes I saw recovery internet icon appeared. This problem occurs, restart windows through start or bootcamp app with option restart in mac os x. Then I stop mac and turn on, boots fine default OS (mac os x el capitan or windows) and with the option key boot menu appears with 2 choices of operating system.  Restart windows to mac os x works, simply very good.

    I'll show you my not what I did for my new hardware and software installation:

    1. support usb bootable instalation with mac os x el capitan
    2 changed main old HDD for a new SSD (location on hard disk)
    3 installed mac os x el capitan on SSD.

    4 used bootcamp to create the partition for windows
    5 installed windows 10 on ssd with great drive
    6 removed great player and place SSD hard disk space Super slot.
    7. installed formatted old hdd hard drive location.
    8 booted system, no problem found until I tried to reboot from windows to mac os x through the bootcamp software.

    I have turned off to quick start 10 Windows but did not help.
    Suggestions? Drivers, works very well

    Where a problem? How can I repair the partitions or menu start-up do not start because its boring.
    IM new to macbook.
    What can I test or do more?

    Move your drive with Windows up to the main drive Bay and there leave. Put the OS x install disc in the Optibay. Test and verify.

    There are paths in BCD, which can cause starting problems.

    My wife has an i5 to 2.3 GHz MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked like a slug.  Ran disk utility and verified that the disk needs repair using recovery HD.  What does this lead and what is the risk of losing all the data is there?

    Even if it is very slow, you must make a return upwards before the race "repair disk". The risk of data loss is minimal, but do it anyway: Save and run to repair the disk.

    As for what it implies - most of the time nothing more than simply sitting and waiting to do his thing.

  • Double disc SSD/HDD on MacBook Pro late 2011

    So I finally finished putting my double drive on my MacBook Pro late 2011. I ended up putting the SSD where the optical drive has been, since research told me that the end 2011 MBP is the lucky model with an optical drive that supports Sata III. If anyone can give me a reason to spend my SSD and HDD, please let me know.

    Anyway, now I ask to help with setting up my macbook pro to use two disks. I copied everything on the SSD and the SSD drive is set to start my computer to the top. I can already tell that this thing is so much faster now. However, I basically just have two exact copies of my all my stuff on the two disks. How can I configure my computer to know which drive to use? I want a few things to use my HARD drive and other things to use my SDD, not all at once. Where are these settings and how to do?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Jdsr4c:

    I have a Macbook Pro 2011 start.

    I installed a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO instead of HD.

    I moved the HD to the optical Bay.

    Optical Bay has 3 Gigabit speed. HD space has a 6 Gigabit speed.

    See the screenshots of my mac.

    The old HD, I would reformat is not bootable.

    I use my old HD for storage of movies, etc.

    So for example, I'll download a movie and then move it to my old hard drive. I'll put it in a directory named for example movies.

    On the SSD, I'll do an 'Alias' pointing to the movies on the old HD directory (on windows, it would be a shortcut).

    In any case, hope this helps.

  • I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD on a 13 "MacBook Pro model 2011.

    I want to upgrade the 512 GB drive HARD on my MacBook Pro 13 "2011 model to a 1 TB SSD.

    I would like to know if it is safe and that it will improve the performance of my computer?

    If your computer is under warranty I would take a first service provider since the upgrade of the disk hard yourself may void the warranty.

    Hard disks have magnetic disks called platters, that something similar to a needle, called a head, uses to read and write data.  Solid disks have no moving parts so the data is read and written much faster than a hard drive.  From a HDD for one SSD must have a performance increase, but it will only increase performance when the determinant of the performance are the storage of read and write times.  The amount of applications that are running at the same time is always dependent on the amount of system memory.  The time that processor intensive tasks such as converting video and audio can take is still dependent on the processor.  Several components material impact on the overall performance of the computer system from a disk HARD of a DDI will only have an impact on performance when the data is written to or read from storage.

  • My MacBook Pro early 2011 startup is extremely slow

    My Macbook Pro has now become very slow in recent years to the point that it takes about 2-3 minutes at the start and another 3 minutes for the Finder to start and bar + apps become available and be able to use (otherwise fury beach ball!).

    I always held up-to-date and think that the issue could have begun with a patch somewhere that might be too heavy on such a machine in (?) "old". I don't remember not to what update started... probably just after Snow Leopard or Lion.

    I did everything advised on the web, disk check, PRAM reset, remove and free on the hard disk, the cache of the system of cleaning with Terminal... I then used EtreCheck and the result was "below average", emphasizing 17 errors on the disk. What does that mean?? Should I reinstall the OS or should I replace the HDD and redo the whole machine? If one of these, how do I go about it for this laptop, if that's possible?

    Thank you!!!
