    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
    Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
    The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB  RAM installed.  The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it. 
    Ciao.

  • Video scrabbled on 15" Macbook Pro made in 2009

    I see that Mac is offering money back on video cards that went bad on 2007 and 2008 video graphic cards, but I took my out of warranty Macbook Pro 15 in. to the Apple Store and the woman said we did not fall under the dates Apple approved for the money back for the repairs. Just wondering if anyone else is having this scrabbled video issue with there Macbook Pro?

    They only hooked it up to a external monitor and the Macbook Pro never had a issue. But when we started the Macbook Pro up the woman saw the vidoe get distorted and flicker and then it never showed any signs of a problem after that while we were at the apple store, she told us to send it away and they would fix anything wrong for a flat rate of 300 dollars. Not sure I am ready to fork out that money until I research this problem further. The macbook is well taken care of and it passed the TechTool Deluxe Tests just fine. Now a week later is acting up again with the scrabbled screen issues. Not sure if heat as anything to do with it?

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • 128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

    128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
    meaning, can it do this well???

    Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
    Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
    Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

  • What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro retina 15". After unboxing, I turned it on and there was no any problem. But the second time I turned it on and charge battery, I got 2 problems, 1. The machine made noise loudly and 2. The charging is not working. What is the problem on MacBook Pro retina 15"? However, after about 1 hour, it works normally. Should I still use it or sell it before it has more issues?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I'm struggling to move video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad. a few play but most won't go over in the sync. What format do I need to clips to be in?

    Greetings. I'm attempting to sync video clips from my macbook pro to my ipad 2 without much success.  A few videos go over and the rest can't. What format do they need to be in?  Thanks for any help you can give.  JWA

    QuickTime Pro costs a few buck but is a good tool to have on hand as it can open and transcode a wide variety of video and audio formats.
    It's like a Swiss Army knife for media files.

  • Video died on my MacBook Pro, question on Time Machine

    Hi -
    The video died on my MacBook Pro (2007 - after some research I see there was a recall on it due to a manufacturer's defect). I hadn't backed up in a few months - so would like to back it up before I take the computer into the store. I have mounted the MacBook Pro on another computer by pressing Option + Power and all seems fine on the hard drive. I did try to run Time Machine though, and the computer doesn't seem to recognize that it has backed up on this same drive previously - it wants to back up the entire computer. Is there a way for the MacBook Pro to recognize the firewire drive and run Time Machine as it did before? I am running  OS 10.6.8
    Thank you!

    I had done that as well (used Carbon Copy Cloner too! ) but I was concerned in the case I had to buy a new computer with a later OS (and being unable to mount the old drive/OS on the new computer to transfer the data - I ran into that issue earlier) - but I see now there is also a Migration Assistant that can help with that if I do indeed have to buy a new machine. Thank you!

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later.

    Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

    Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break.  1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned.  No restart, no power on/off - nothing.  Frustration.  If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.
