    MacBook 2011 owners

    Guys and girls I like many of you, love my MacBook Air. However, 2011 was a long time ago. Considering moving to a MacBook 2016 as they are on offer with £200 off. Just wondered if anyone else had made the leap from a similarly old MacBook Air. Was it a good switch or should I be looking at...

    Is this a graphics card or LCD problem?

    This mac has been used for a number of years and has these faint lines running up the screen in places, almost like they are moving. They are very faint but become more visible up close on a dark screen.

    I love my MBP but..... (does the 2015 models have the same GPU issues that the 2011 does?)

    Hi all, My first and current MBP is an early 15” 2011 model which has the infamous GPU issues. Mine has failed 4 or 5 times in the past 6 years and when it went again last week I decided I have got my moneys worth and can’t justify another $600 to $700 to get it repaired in the knowledge that...

    Oh no, did my Late 2011 15" Macbook Pro bite the dust?

    I was watching a YouTube video and all of a sudden the screen got SUPER glitchy. I turned the computer off. Turned it back on and after the Apple logo appears for a few seconds the screen turns grey and nothing happens. Fans running high. Has the common graphics issue occurred with my 15"...

    2011 MBP-15in GPU failing -- want Lead GPU Reballing References

    I have a 2011 MBP-15 with the defective GPU design that now is failing (and the program has ended.) I want to have the GPU reballed, as it seems the only option that might work for a reasonable price with a semi-reasonable outcome. I considered: Purchasing a used 2011 logic board for $350-450...

I've been looking for ways to bypass the password without changing it so...

    My 2011 Mac Mini died.

    My late-2011 Mac Mini died 7 weeks after I bought it for $500. It just suddenly, without any signs or warnings, died as if the power cord was yanked out. The Apple Store told me it was either the power supply or the main board and I'd have to pay as much to fix it as I paid to buy it, therefore...
