When I switch my 2011 Macbook Pro with High Sierra installed, I cannot boot into normal, safe mode, recovery etc, I just get the apple logo for about 2 minutes then goes to a blue screen (see pic) I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. All I want to do is reinstall the OS back on but I cannot think...

I got a macbook air mid 2011 that's running linux and I love the form factor and everything about it but it only has 4gb of ram and that's a small problem for me these days. I was wondering if I could upgrade the logic board to something with 8gb of ram. If I'm correct I could easily change the...

Hi everyone! My Macbook Pro 17 2011 does not turn on - completely dead! It worked just fine until 2021. In 2021, I changed the battery in an authorized Apple service shop. When I went to collect the MBP, it did not turn on - dead. The Apple genius told me it was a "glitch", took it back to the...

Recently, a client's mid 2011 27" iMac died on him. His repair guy said it was beyond repair & worthless. He was gonna throw it out if I didn't want it. It seemed like such a waste so I said thank you & took it home. Physically, it looks to be in mint condition. No scratches anywhere. It...

If you're like me and still holding on to a Unibody MacBook from 2010 - 2012, you'll have noticed that the wireless connectivity can be lacking on these models! While this guide won't cover Macbooks made in 2009 and prior (at least not yet), I will be focussing on Macbooks made from 2010...

My mid 2011 is a nice little work horse for portably writing, but annoyingly I frequently have to reboot after sleep because it is not waking. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Currently running El Capitan. Maximum supported is High Sierra, but I can't seem to find experience threads with OS' newer than that. Anyone with experience as to performance with High Sierra or newer unsupported OS, willing to share would be greatly appreciated :) Specs: MacBook Air (11"...

I own a MacBook Air that I have owned for about 5 years now. It's a 2011 that I purchased refurbished. I bought it in 2014. In 2015 it was 3 years old. One year later after purchase, I woke up one morning and found the screen floating above the keyboard. The keyboard was warped and the computer...

Hello, I had an accident with my MacBook pro-2011 where it slid off the shelf and fell onto the ground. It worked that same day, but now it does not turn on, or show any signs of life. No sounds, No lights. Nothing. The charger shows a dim green light when plugged into the MacBook. I took it...

Hi, I have no idea what I'm doing so if you're kind enough to respond to this thread, easy on the jargon please. I've got a very slow mid 2011 iMac 21.5inch. It's crazy slow now, literally taking 30 mins to get going. Even typing is delayed. I'd like to upgrade it with an external (I don't...

Hi Guys, I have been doing some research on my Early 2011 MBP 15" and found a lot of people saying a dual SSD setup is not going to work due to the optical bay sata connector. My MBP is made during the second half of the year and have a 6G sata connection in the optical bay. I wanted to ask if...

Hello! A while ago we bought an used iMac 21.5’’ mid-2011 for my grandfather so he could do light activities (he literally only uses safari and Microsoft word). It originally came with 4GB of RAM and we added another 4GB from OWC so it was snappy. I knew it was a good iMac because we bought it...
