I have macbook pro 13 inch 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7 with 8GB RAM can I upgrade my ram to 16 GB?
I Have bought The new MacBook Pro 13-inch:
2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics
My Q: Can I upgrade my memory ram from 8GB to 16GB ?
Sure. Make sure that you buy the RAM specified for your computer - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs - and purchase from a reputable dealer such as Crucial, OWC, etc.
You can go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner app to get the correct RAM for your unit.

Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner. -

I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works. -
I have Macbook Pro and Adobe CC. 3D won't work.. I can open the 3D panel options but clicking ok or even choosing preview brings up an error message [can't]

HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6
i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me
ok but i have mac os x.
I'll explain the numbering system for you.
With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased. If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to. -
I want to buy a new Macbook pro 15 2.3Ghz which is currently on OS mountain lion. Can I upgrade it to OS Maverciks when it is released?
I realized I still had this as an open question, so I thought I would follow up. By calling around, I was able to locate a Macbook Pro that still had ILife 09, so I bought that.
But then I found out I could actually continue on with Ilife 08, but just wiping the new computer and reinstalling the first disc (system) but not the second one (ilife). So then when I used a Time Machine backup from my old computer to migrate to the new one, it simply continued on with O8. This made me even happier as I really was trying to avoid Faces in iPhoto 09.
Thank you for the input (I did read it back when you posted it; I just did not realize I needed to "close" the question.) -
I just bought a macbook pro. But I got Lion instead of Moutain Lion. How can I upgrade it for free?
I just bought a macbook pro. But I got Lion instead of Moutain Lion.
I tried to upgrade it in the app store, but it requires me to purchase it first. I thought that I suppose to get mountain lion straight away.
How can I upgrade it for free?Dzufar wrote:
Sorry, i forgot to response. I've gone to the store where i bought the macbook. I told them about this, they said that they were sorry about the services and that they cannot do anything about it. They asked me to call the apple service about the upgrade. I called the services, and all that they said was the period where upgrade is free was over. and if i want to upgrade it, I have to buy it. No free upgrade. And said that he cannot comment anything about the services provided by the store.
oh well. just have to live with it.
Oh yes they can! Apple's policy is that you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return the comp.....no questions asked!
You should return it, get your $$$ back. Then purchased another one that has ML from a reputable Apple reseller and/or from an Apple Store (online or off). -
Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -

Running 10.6.8 on Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz processors. Can I upgrade to Lion 10.7
I've just upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intell Xeon, 2.66GHz. Is it possilbe to upgrade to Lion 10.7 with my Mac Pro Dual Core or have I just hit my ceiling on 10.6.8 update ?
Mac Pros are not PowerMacs. In 2006, Apple changed all its cheesegrater enclosure Macs to have the Xeon chip installed, and changed the name to Mac Pro at that that time from PowerMac G5. That said, all Mac Pros can upgrade to a minimum of 10.7.5. Only the earliest ones can't upgrade to 10.8 and above. 10.7 and later do not have Rosetta, the ability to run PowerPC (pre-2006) applications natively. For other pitfalls, read this tip.

Audio playback issues; Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Intel Core Duo 2007/2008 model
Hiya,
I cannot fully remember when this issue started but recently it has made listening to music, watching videos impossible. Whenever i play audio via iTunes, QuickTime, YouTube, Streaming via Chrome/Safari after about 5-10 seconds the sound will start to stall and then the machine will also stall and often become unresponsive untill i hit pause/stop or the mute button on the keyboard. I do not have this issue when using Ableton Live 8 or Logic Pro 9 as the sound and performance is what you would expect from an apple product; perfect.
I have had my logic board "replaced" twice via apple due to the NAVIDA issue on my model of macbook pro and they did mention that since they replaced it my macbook had developed a "software issue" which they aknowledged to be thier fault.
I have booked into see the genuis bar this saturday but was wondering if anyone has had these issues?Gordon,
A couple of things this is an iMac forum, there is a MacBook Pro forum I'd recommend you repost to. Also I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine to protect your security. Next time you copy and paste just remove the serial number it isn't needed.
Best of luck.
