  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.

• 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.

• 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?

• 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.

• MacBook Pro (mid-2012 retina) do not correctly light

  Hey guys,.

  So my rMBP 15 "(mid-2012) El Capitan running do not meet the power on button. When it is not plugged in and supported, it is completely dead and does not respond to what it is. The second that I plug to load, that fans will light up and the cycle (they turn on and outside, and in out - basically sounds like someone breathing). The screen does not light, and there is no ledge. If I do an SMC reset, the fans turn off, but return the same way almost immediately. Resetting also no effect on the power button. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi.Take watch the steps suggested by Apple in this article:

  If your Mac will not turn on - Apple Support

  Try to start:

  -Stop your Mac

  -Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the power button

  -Just after you hear the startup tone, press in and hold the SHIFT key

  -Release the SHIFT key when you see a gray Apple sign and the progress under this sign bar

  -Once your Mac boot, restart dhcpd as you usually do.

  If this does not help, follow the instructions below:

  -Stop your Mac

  -Wait until your computer turns off and after that press the power button

  -Just after you hear the startup tone, press in and hold the SHIFT key

  -Release the SHIFT key when you see a gray Apple sign and the progress under this sign bar

  -Once you see office, start a scan Disk Utility to detect and repair file system errors (remember to choose your primary hard drive)

  -Click on the disc to check, then, if requested to solve the problems on the repair disk

  -After that click on verify disk permissions, and then click Repair disk permissions

  -Once the process is complete, stop your Mac and turn it on again after 30 seconds

  Apart from this, take a look at this article from Apple and follow the instructions to reset NVRAM shown here:How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

  I hope this helps!

• ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. Virtual MACHINE works on old MBP and Win7 but not on new MBP [mid 2015 retina], speed or network problem?

  We strive to use our VM on the new retina MBP (mid-2015) with MacOS X 10.11 (El Capitan) but we had a problem starting from Oracle. If we first converted our ESX VM but once on the Mac laptop Oracle (v12.1.0.1.0 on WIN2012R2) does not open the database, error;

  ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

  Does not change us any setting on the virtual machine itself so services work fine. Network has set the IP with host only. Tried with Fusion 7.1 & Fusion 8.0.2 new Mac with nothing doesn't. Also with the different versions of the VM tools. Tried to remove the NIC in Fusion and recreate, don't sucses.

  Funny enough the same virtual machine starts fine on PC (workstation 10.3.0 & Win7), MBP beginning 2011 (Fusion 7 & Mac 10.10) or ESX itself for Oracle opens the database!

  That's why we think in the direction of the new MBP specific? speed or network issue? Ring the bells?

  
  

  Help appreciated!

  Bottom line, this is a problem of Oracle who dislikes the MBP on a virtual machine.

  for reference;

  Virtual MACHINE works very well on all platforms, but not on the latest MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015). So, when you try to use sqlplus you might get the error that there is no such thing as SID. Earphone works very well, but the DB process does not record with earphone or work correctly also. But the process is running and a SID tnsping returns an OK. This isn't a problem of configuration Oracle as the VM and DB works well from the moment where you run the virtual machine on a PC or an old MBP. Either way, Virtualbox has the same problem so not a problem of Fusion.

  I will record a deal with Oracle but I doubt that it is corrected.

• 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?

• Cable IEEE 1394 to 800 FireWire MBP mid 2012

  Hello

  Currently, I discovered an old camcorder (Samsung VP-D371) that uses a DV IEEE 1394 cable entry. I have an old cable, but does not support the USB or firewire 800 appropriate.

  My question is: the Macbook Pro for mid-2012 capture the videos saved in the camcorder? --> If YES: should which cable I buy?

  -A DV to USB cable

  -A DV FireWire 800 cable

  -A DV cable for love at first sight...?

  Plus, do you know of any box or cable adapter for Mini DVI VHS transfer to the computer?

  Thank you

  Sincerelly,

  FireWire converts freely back and forth between its various forms, simply by using the correct conversion cable (which differs from the others only by the provided number of pins and the link shape.

  Most digital camcorders use the variety 4 pin, fireWire-400 without the supplied power cords.

  Older Macs use the Firewire-400 variety with power, which converts directly to your camera with a cable from 6 to 4

  New Macs using FireWire 800 varieties which has additional pins for drivers to push - pull on the data lines, so it has the connector 9 pins and can instantly transform 400 with a 9-6 adapter cable, or your camera with a cable adapter 9 to 4.

  Some separate adapters are also available, but these should only be used in an installation permeant, because (based on anecdotal evidence) "they grow legs and disappear.

• 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.

• trackpad left click + hold question about MBP mid 2012

  Since I upgraded to El Capitan, my trackpad has been behaving strangely. Left click starts to malfunction after a while of being on, it now retains key even though I can still click on (I hear the rattling). I think it's a software problem, given that this is not the case in Boot Camp. Help, please!

  In addition, drop down windows would disappear after clicking, making it impossible to select an option. (I.E. battery, an icon of the tasks icon bar)

• 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

  I don't know Samsung but 2.5 "is inside that you need, SATA III Yes.

  but another highly recommended option is https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/lineup

  MacBook Pro (15-inch mid-2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), i7 480 GB SSD 16 GB RAM iPhone5 iOS10.0.1, Parallels10.0.2, HP OfficeJet Pro 8620

• Upgrade module WiFi mid-2012 MBP?

  Hello

  I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I've already updated the memory, ssd and battery.

  I would like to know if the Wifi module is upgradable?...

  I currently have an 802.11n Wifi module that I wrapped up as upgrade to Wifi-ac

  Interfaces:

  However, newer Mbps AC cards are of a completely different form factor, so I doubt that they would work. I've not seen any internal third party replacements offered at all speeds.

  There may be an external option, like this:

• MacBook Pro mid-2012 running hot (MacOS Sierra)

  Hello

  I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inch with 16 GB. of ram and a 500 GB. SSD

  I had it set up with boot camp and dualboot El Capitan and MS-Windows-10

  Everything is working, all the features and functions in the two operating systems.

  I was very pleased with this MBP.

  Recently, I put a new battery in it and upgraded to Mac OS Sierra.

  Since then the MBP runs hot.

  It heats up very quickly.

  Is this a common problem with macOS Sierra?

  Or do you think that the NEW battery maybe causing the MBP get HOT?

  I use an adapter to power 85 watts OEM.

  The battery seems to work fine.

  Several demons as mdworker are running to set up the Sierra which CPU load until adjustment ended.

  You can check with activity monitor.

• With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012

  I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.

  Try this it worked for another user having the same problems.

  Your MacBook is looking for initial start-up by car but can not find.

  Power on the Mac and hold down the 'option' at the same time, and then manually select to boot from the drive of choice.

  Also, try this first:

  SMC and the PRAM Reset

  I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I did an upgrade SSD with a Samsung Evo 850-series (500 GB.). However, I had no problem.

  I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original disc for the SSD via a USB-to-Sata adapter.

  My first start was slow because I don't have the SMC / PRAM reset my MBP was looking for startup disk.

  However after my MBP starts very quickly. I got no problem with Samsung Evo SSD. They work very well with Macs.

  Don't forget to activate the "pad" your non - owc SSD support.

  Open "terminal app" and enter the command 'sudo trimforce activate' select YES, YES... and restart after completing
