What am I allowed to upgrade?

Hi,
I was wondering what I am allowed to upgrade on my 13" MBP, withour voiding my warranty?
I cannot find any information in the support manuals etc, and any forum posts I've found seem to be from around 2010.  I don't want to change something and find out Apple have changed their policy
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
p.s. If I were to have an SSD installed from purchase by Apple (ahich I have not) would it be soldered onto the Logic Board?  I thought it was just a standard SSD, but when I asked why it was so expensive for the upgrade, I was told it was soldered on to the board?

A 13" regular MacBook Pro?
RAM and storage device. At least on 2011 models going forward, Apple even tells you how in the User's Manual (available here if lost: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macnotebooks ). Warranty will not be voided, provided you don't screw up and wreck the thing while open. However, RAM and HDD/SSD replacement is quite straightforward and doable by 99% of humans. Can also visit IFixIt.com for detailed pictorial how-to: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_13%22
Apple will NOT install an SSD unless it is purchased as a custom option from the start. Look at the procedures on IFixIt to answer your 'soldered on' questions.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Reboot and see if all is well.

  • What is difference between Startup upgrade and startup migration.

    what is difference between Startup upgrade and startup migration.

    I am having the metalink note.
    STARTUP MIGRATE was introduced in 9.2 as a mechanism to be sure that most everything that needs to be done to run an upgrade script or a patch script is done automatically. In the past, customers were expected to adjust certain initialization parameters prior to beginning an upgrade or applying a a patch,
    but most of this is now done automatically by STARTUP MIGRATE.
    When a customer starts a database in MIGRATE mode, the following ALTER SYSTEM
    commands will be set automatically:
    But i am not sure what exactly the meaning by startup upgrade.
    and exactly the startup upgrade and startup migrate

  • What hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel early 2010

    what hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel 27 inches early 2010

    You can install any 3'5" SATA hard drive on a Late 2009 iMac. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
    Note that Late 2009 and later iMacs have got the temperature sensor inside the hard drive. If you install a hard drive without a sensor, fans won't work correctly. Read > http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs

  • I have a MacBook Pro, 15-inch, Mid 2009.  I would love to upgrade to a Solid State Drive.  What is the best possible upgrade I can buy.  I need the specs and even brand name.  Thank you to anyone who can help.

    A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM.  Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM.  RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.
    Ciao.

    Hi,
    I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
    If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
    Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • HT4972 I am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.

    am using iphone 3g and it is having currently IOS 4.1 version,till what IOS version can i upgrade ? please help me many of my apps are not working esp whatsapp.

    iOS 4.2.1 is the latest version of iOS for the 3G.
    Facebook and Whatsapp both require 4.3 or higher.
    If you want to use those apps, either use the old version that should be in your iTunes library or upgrade the hardware to a 3GS or newer device.

  • What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    What are the benefits from upgrading from Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to Acrobat11 Pro?

    Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
    Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro.

  • What program would allow me to create a mini box of video on screen?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having trouble figuring out what program would allow me to use an effect that would create a small box of video on screen while the rest of the screen remains blank. It'd be great if there was actually a term for this, but if there is, I don't know it. I once used this effect in a silly beginner program called "studio" that allowed me to create one or more small boxes of video footage, smaller than fullscreen. I don't think this effect exists on imovie, but I have final cut pro, if anyone knows what the effect is called and how I could use it.
    Please note: I'm not looking to create those four square boxes of the same image on screen (as can be found in imovie effects), I'm looking to choose the number of boxes I want and what goes in each one (i.e. different footage inside each box).
    Sorry if this post is unclear, it's hard to describe when I don't know the name for it, but I hope you can help!

    To scale down the video as videodude suggested, load the clip into the Viewer window, click on the Motion tab, and use the Scale control to resize the clip and the Center control to set it's position.
    Or set the Canvas window in Image+Wireframe mode and use the mouse to resize and position the clip.

  • What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibooks?

    What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibookes?  I know the requirement is very specific.
    And what is the best tool to do so?  I tried to use the native screenshot tool but it is hard to make the size precise.

    Minimum size is 600 pixels in the shorter dimension. Maximum size is 2048 pixels in the longer dimension. That's what you get when you take a screenshot on a new iPad. (There is no point in having something larger than this.) Screenshots taken with an older iPad are 1024x768.
    For my book, I just took screenshots on an iPad 2 (1024x768) and used those. They were accepted without complaint.

  • What is the BIS pack and what does it allow?

    Hi BBers,
    just me again!
    I read over this forum the last few days, and got my email/facebook/msn question fixed via going back to the telstra shop and getting a BIS pack for $10/m along with my 1GB data included in my cap plan.
    So all emails working well ...
    My next question is ... what is the BIS pack, and what does it allow me to do/use?  it was 530pm when the sales lady got to me, so she whipped it up on the computer, and sent me packing saying it will all be good in 20 mins .... no real detail except "unlimited email" ... but im sure the other sales person when I bought my phone said "apps, msn, facebook and stuff" were covered by the BIS plan.
    So please help me!!!
    I have WiFi at home, and can connect to it, but now I dont know when Im using it, or the data pack, or the BIS haha its driving me (and my husband) nuts!
    Ok, wait for replies, thanks for all views/posts.

    Hello,
    FYI -- "here", as in these forums (which are targeted at BB/RIM services rather than carrier services), would not be the best place to find out something specific for one carrier. With so many thousands of carriers with dozens of different plans each, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of the specifics. The generic information is this:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    But, there certainly can be variations on that given the different packages carriers put together. I do suggest you do as JSanders recommended -- contact your carrier and find out what you've signed up for.
    Good luck!
