• MacBook pro late 2011 glitches after logic board replacement

  Hi all!

  I end 2011 macbook pro in April 2015, I got free logic board replacement because of glitches of gpu (http://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/) but now I'm having the same problem again. my macbook showing pink lines on startup apple logo and does not start.

  Can I replace my logic board again (it will be 2nd time) this program?

  Depending on which country you are (United States I guess) you should actually be covered under various consumer protection regulations and must now insist on a replacement machine. This defect is a manufacturing defect and that you already had a repair that did not set you have the legal right to a replacement. That said I should advise that Apple do not tend to stick to their legal obligations in this case (I know I have a macbook 13-inch pro who had questions on the first day and despite extensive repairs Apple still refuse to replace - although clearly indicated their own conditions of sale & the law here) He should have).  On another front repairs performed on any product should work properly for a "reasonable" period Again the definition depends on what country you are but in Europe, which is usually recognized only 6 years old at best. Good luck!

• WD My Passport drive external drive will not mount once my Macbook Pro is already on

  Hello

  I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.

  I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub.  If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.  But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not.  It used to, but he won't now.

  In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro.  So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well.  But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro.  Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever--until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more.

  I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.  After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.

  Any ideas please?  It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD.

  "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). It could be that the external drive is in its death throws.

  This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub?

  The Mac USB ports work with other devices?

  Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Three questions:

  (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

  (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows

  (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting.

  If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Define the plan of Partition to GUID Partition map and journaled for Mac extended format. Press the button 'clear '. The reader will now will be rid of eccentric WD partitioning and formatting schemes and be a good Mac hard drive.

  If you share the road with a Windows computer, consider getting a better workout. After having fought external drives 'brand' on my computers and others that I maintain, I now use only boxes of other computer world with naked WD drives inside. Since this change, I have zero problems. For my MacBook Pro, I use this forum:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/MEPMU3ES/

  I ordered the external power optionally for use at home and go on the road bus-powered. It's an empty envelope - just a hard drive of nu. They are more expensive than the stuff that Staples puts on sale every weekend, but are much more reliable. I ask the question. "What is my value data?"

• MacBook Pro does not charge

  I feel that this question is asked a million times, but I'd like to walk you guys through my situation.

  Retina Macbook Pro 2013 (out of warranty of course) in excellent condition. Fully updated software.

  A year ago, I had a problem with intermittent loading. Of course, I went online and followed the instructions on resetting the SMC. Sometimes it would work, other times not. Sometimes the software updates would trigger the loader to activate when the system is restarted. I would like to try various outlets around the House with none of them work. Is my next laptop Apple certified tech and is it charged out of their fine magsafe charger. I thought, cool, I'll buy a new charger. I understand House and it does not load. This process is repeated for a year. I could get the new charger or one laptop comes with to work. After a time I kind of nailed what I could warm up the bricks of charger with the warmth of the body and get them to come. Kind of weird but it worked... sometimes. If fast-forward a couple of weeks. I could not the computer to load at all. I took a day and I have tried everything in the book:

  • Resetting the SMC
  • Try the different points of sale
  • Warming of the charger
  • Update the system software
  • Leaving the charger unplugged for hours and try again (it of in case of dirty power coming out walls and locks the charger?)

  So I took it to my local tech again and it started to load automatically off not only their Chargers, but both of my friends... He performs a reset SMC, talking about me on the House of tension circuits and sends me on my way, pretty confusing. I get it home and charge the battery to 100%, but two weeks later here I am again with a Macbook Pro which does not load... This time I even tried to load out of a UPS System.

  I consider myself very savvy computer, especially with the Mac. I have a decent background in electrical systems of the classes I took in high school and college. I read the manuals, I do my homework, I take excellent care of my devices. But honestly, *...

  Any ideas would be appreciated. I'll take in addition to anyway. My local tech makes an appointment and I can't get an appointment of bar genius until next week. I have a laptop dead at this time.

  I do my homework,

  Certainly, you made and excluded from all the obvious concerns besides a few non-obvious. The only remaining uncertainty, I can suggest is your domestic food, since your Mac seems to load very well everywhere else. Power of the Mac adapter intelligently will close if it detects bad quality. Other than to call it 'noise' Apple is characteristically silent when it comes to debate just what are the parameters it uses to accomplish this.

  Most inverters do much through food. An alternative is to use a 'real online' or 'double conversion online' UPS, which are more expensive because they are still deriving their battery power, thus isolating their input and output power. Another esoteric alternative that I don't necessarily recommend is to use a ferroresonnant transformer. They are inherently inefficient, but concretely achieve isolation even.

• How can I delete and reinstall my Macbook pro at the new factory

  I bought a Macbook pro 13-inch, mid 2010 at a yard sale and I want to do as good as new. I ordered 2 DVD discs for her and have just received. Applications install DVD and Mac os x install DVD. I don't know anything about computers other than how to turn it on. can someone guide me, step by step what to do to clear all personal data previous owners?

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• Upgrade of the fans on MacBook Pro 2014 retina

  Hi, can the fans inside the Macbook Pro upgrade 2014? I game on my mac and also to use some applications requiring a power of good treatment. These are the heat of my laptop a lot and therefore uncomfortable to lay my hands on. I wanted to improve the cooling on my mac.

  There is no way to upgrade the fans.  If you were to replace the fans it would be exactly the same unit.

  If you run games or applications processor it will warm up.

  Different machines have different processors, different graphics cards, all soldered to logic board - not upgradable - point-of-sale only.  This can make a difference in how hot they are.

  Some machines a discreet and Integrated GPU, some only a single graphics card.

  In addition to third-party fan contol the only applications user would be to try to reset the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964 to see if there is a difference.

• Register for a macbook pro already registered

  I bought a macbook pro 2011 end long to a guy I've ever met. The thing is, this guy recorded his macbook pro, because he bought it new, so now, I need to save this macbook pro to my account, but I don't see how. Is that even possible?

  BTW, there is no chance to communicate more with this guy.

  The MBP should have been prepared for sale according to this Apple before you bought:

  If it you don't probably log off iCloud to connect below you cannot have Apple ID.

  Therefore, you will need to back up your files, clean the disc and reinstall the system under your own Apple ID.

• SSD in MacBook Pro mid-2010

  Hi all

  I have a MacBook Pro mid-2010 13 "and I am eager to improve with an SSD. Last week, I bought an OCZ Trion 100 (240GB) as it was on sale... After trying to install OS X (fraught with problems - tried repeatedly in different ways) I finally got OS X installed! It turns out that it would not boot from it, after some research it turns out that that particular drive is not compatible with macs with the NVidia chipset... So now I'll try to return that and get another one, only now I realize that I don't want no problem next time around, so...

  I've been watching the Hynix SL301 250 GB SSD and wondering if anyone knows of the problems with this SSD in my MacBook Pro era? It is SATA III, who will not support my Mac, but must simply limited to 3.0Gbps, although I've seen a few threads where old macs (mine was built around the era) back to SATA I speeds as opposed to the SATA II, where they must, I was wondering if I'll meet this problem? I know I can buy it and see, but I would avoid that if I can, I hope someone will be able to comment and lend me a helping hand please?

  Thanks in advance!

  Based on reputation and my personal experience, I recommend OWC SSD or Crucial.  This does not mean that other will be not compatible.

  Understand that your willing MBP of connectivity SATA2, but today most SSDS are retro-compatible.  I have a Crucial SSD in my MBP 2010 and it is slower than what he is capable, but never the less, there is a significant improvement.

  When you install the SSD drive, I recommend that you first install the SSD in an external case, plug on the MBP via USB, format in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility and then clone disk HARD internal to the SSD.  Then test it by starting the MBP with the OPTION key down and selecting the SSD.  If it starts, then make the physical Exchange.

  If the SSD does not start the MBP when you installed internally, the SATA cable need to be replaced.  This happens often.

• Information retrieval of dead macbook pro drive without purchase mac with the same amount of disc

  I'm completely lost right now and honestly had a really bad time in the Mac store. I love Macs, the staff is usually great, but I ended up leaving enough frustrated after a few experiences of confusion with the sales guy myself.

  So, I entered the mac store with a 2011 13 inch Macbook Pro which has got water damage. It turns out that it was $750 to fix and I decided that I would just get a new one. It was the hardest or disc information you can have, and I've had about 263 on 500 or something used. I want photos and documents to browse and choose what is important.

  Then they assured me that they could extract the information and make a transfer with my computer, but I have to buy a laptop with the same amount of data - so that the Macbook Air for $1,500 instead of $1000 Macbook Air, I was going to learn how to do the transfer. They kept saying it's a case all or nothing-, they cannot choose the data from the hard drive, nor can they give it to me in a way that does not require a complete transfer of the computer and so a computer with a drive for.

  Is it possible that I can do this by a third party? Or download the information from the hard drive on something other than a full computer...?  I honestly don't need, want or have the capability of the computer with the disc like means. I just need a computer for school and would like to stick with the Mac, and the hard drive more small $1000, that's what I can afford right now.

  Thank you and sorry if it came out confused, I'm just really frustrated, I lost all my information to my own stupid mistake and cannot repair.

  p. s.

  Nothing is saved on iCloud and I don't have Time Machine.

  Remove the drive from the computer and install it in an external USB enclosure.

• Purchase 2013 (initially) Macbook pro 15 inch

  Hello world! Then my trusty old 2011 (early) macbook pro died last year. After making it through high school and college, he was finally ready to retire. My trackpad was broken, the screen has been damaged, and I was running out of ram which was causing the computer and not even turn on. So, I upgraded to a (end) entry level 2015 macbook air for budget problems and I did not like the experience. Personally, it feels like a downgrade to me, I'm already exhausted on the memory, and I was not very satisfied with the upgrade. I find myself not even using the computer on which a lot for my entertainment purposes like I did with my pro.

  Recently I fell into the little money so I bought a macbook (early) to 2013 retina pro 15.4 "with Intel Core i7-3635QM, 8 GB RAM and 256GB SSD on sale. Ironically, it's an upgrade on my macbook air from 2015. I'm very excited, but I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with the time in two or three years. I want this computer to last me as my last macbook pro. Do you think I should be okay with it? I'm not a user with power by all means, I turn on do photo editing, plays of light and the rest of the time it's just school work.

  Thanks for your advice and help!

  You used a Mac before - so were able to get your photo editing you and the game made satisfactory on the 8 GB of RAM? It's one of the concerns that I have - other than that - Yes people advise for the largest disk, you can buy, but you can always move stuff to an external location - as OGELTHORPE likes to say - you can upgrade your player but not memory.

  You should be good - in my opinion, but we can see what others have to say

• New MacBook Pro Release - 2016

  I had a PC guy since I started to use computers and a few years ago I bought an iPad and iPhone. I always wanted to buy an Apple computer, but it was too expensive. Given the quality of Apple products, and how the OSX is good, I finally want to invest money to get the new macbook pro. I use Photoshop CC and time to other Illustrator and InDesign for the current model I've been watching is the:

  13 "MacBook Pro retina display with i7 processor 3.1 GHz and 16 GB of RAM.

  There are rumors that Apple will release the new MBP at the WWDC conference that leaves me with some questions.

  • If I wanted to get this laptop, it would be OK to use it as my computer only for we shall say 12 hours a day? I plan on a long term, so I would really upgrade for years 4 and 5.
  • If the new MBP range announced in the June 13-18, you think it's going to be available for sale end of June in the States (that's when I'll be there and it is definitely cheaper to buy there, only in Hungary). I hope just as they don't sell in September for example... I don't know how the previous models were announced and ready to buy for customers.
  • The new range will be about the same price as the current? With the above specifications, I wrote above, it comes out around $2000.

  Thank you! I can't wait to be part of the Apple family.

  1. Of course - Mac would be nice looking, but they were made to be used!
  2. We do not know when will be released new computers or when they become available. The only people who know what is not allowed to speak.
  3. We are not allowed to speculate on the future computers here. All that I can say is that in the past when Apple launches a new system based on current designs (a MBP 2015 is updated a MBP 2016 model) prices remain substantially the same, or drop. When Apple makes a major design change is unclear what will happen.

  Basically, the best that we can do is say welcome and buy the computer when you need it. Even if Apple launches a new model of 2 months after your purchase (as happened to my wife when she bought his MBP in 2015 early) you will have one of the best darn computers made.

• Try to reinstall osx to sell the macbook pro, but when it starts to install I get a window saying 'impossible to find information about this installation machine' "contact applecare".

  I erased from my hard drive to sell the macbook pro to my father.  "" When I go to install OSX I am invited to install OS X El Capitan and it will check computer and a window pops up saying 'Impossible to find information about this installation machine' "contact AppleCare.  I have an APPT with the Apple store Monday, but was hoping I could fix myself first.  Anyone have any ideas?

  When you disassemble a machine for sale, the only Mac OS X can be installed without providing WHAT YOUR Apple ID is the original version it comes with.

  You can not install ElCapitan in this situation, what is left as an exercise for the buyer.
