Why my macbook pro 7.1 does not recognize 2x4 GB of ram (PNY), I already tried 1 by 1 and recognize up to 6? What it's wrong

Hello, I updated my RAM from 4 to 8, the problem is that does not recognize the 8 GB, I tried one by one, and only recognize 6 GB (one module of 2 and one module of 4) but by the time I install both, it doesn`t work. (I updated the firmware also) 

If you substute each 4GB card, do you still have the system recognizing 6GB? Since it's not recognizing all 8GB, that suggests an issue with that memory ... is that what PNY says should be used in a MBP?  While I haven't used PNY memory, they do have a line that they say is for Apple computers here. Is that what you used?  I normally use Crucial or OWC (their own branded memory or Samsung) which have worked well over a number of systems.

  • MacBook Pro late 2013 does not show login window after waking from sleep

    MacBook Pro late 2013 does not always prompt for login, but opens directly to desktop, even though security settings are setup to prompt for password after 5 minutes. Up to now, this only has happened on battery, machine goes to sleep or lid is closed, 10 minutes pass, lid is opened and desktop is shown instead of lock screen. Console shows, that the machine was actually sleeping (10 min no log entries) and also does not show any error in regards to login window.
    This behaviour occurs randomly and I could not track down any root cause/behaviour, yet. Sometimes everything behaves as it should.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
    I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
    I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
    We'll see if it helps.
    It happens toughly a couple of times a week.

    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers

    My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers. HP only has updates but not full drivers for Mountain Lion. Some articles say the compatibility might only allow me to print, but the scan feature won't work. I am attempting to use either my HP Color Laser 2840 and my HP Photosmart 209-B printers. I tried to reinstall the printer drivers, but HP doesn't have drivers to download for Mountain Lion OS.
    Anyone else have this issue?

    I have a 2007 Macbook, so it's probably a lot older than your Macbook Pro, but it sounds like what happened to me, except that mine hadn't travelled anywhere. I pulled out the ram and blew out some dust, popped them back in, and wha-la! it turned back on and worked better than ever! Or otherwise you've got a dud/old/warped/fried battery, which is also what happened to my laptop - it got so  bad it did what your laptop is doing. Ordered a new battery online and all good since then. Or otherwise, like the previous post asked, 'is it plugged in?'

    I can hear a loud 'CD spinning/fan like' sound from my MacBook Pro intermittently. Definitely not the audio as i muted it. No CD either. And the only programs running are words, safari and mail.

    It sounds like the fan but this is the first time I hear it in the past 6mths using this Mac. If its the fan, shouldn't the sound be there all the time and not intermittent?

    Can you make and receive calls and texts? If you can, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't, you may need to call Verizon. However, try this first. The 4S has a Vodafone SIM card in it for foreign travel. Try taking the SIM out and doing the *228 again. Once it activates properly, you should be able to put the SIM back for safe keeping. It's not used in the U.S.

  • After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement

    After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, on 10.9.4) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement. I have tried a generic usb mouse and my Razer Deathadder usb mouse. Both mice work before sleep; but after sleep, the computer no longer recognizes mouse movement while still recognizing the mouse buttons when pressed. Any idea why this is occurring?

  • MacBook Pro 5.3 does not print to Canon iR C5180

    I'm writing on behalf of my coworker who has a MacBook Pro 5.3 with Snow Leapard (10.6.2) has not been able to print to our Canon iR C5180. Our IS team had Ikon/Canon come out and upgrade software on the printer and also, they have found the latest drivers (Canon iRC5180 UFR II (US)) and installed them on her MacBook but it doesn't still work. We are very frustrated!
    A generic driver did print for a while, but now we can not get any generic drivers to work either. The Canon iR is used by a majority of PC/WIN folks in our network so us few apple users (only 3) are rare. My Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC, 10.5.8 works fine with an older driver -H1 PS Ver 1.0
    Any ideas??

    Louis123 wrote:
    Yes, our iR C5180 does have the imagePASS-H1 connected. I also forwarded your message to our IT support person and they stated,
    "The UFR2 driver is the only one that supports PINs. Any other driver won’t be able to print in color because of that."
    This is not true. The H1 does support PINs (called Department ID management on the copier). With the H1 v1.0 driver, you use the Owner Information menu to enter the Department ID and Password set in the copier.
    The other thing they need to be aware of is that the UFR2 driver will not work when the imagePASS is connected. The UFR2 driver is designed for the Canon board only. Once the imagePASS is fitted, the Canon board is taken out of the RIPping process.
    To ensure the SL user gets the correct driver to match the system version being used on the imagePASS, they can connect to the H1 by typing in it's IP address into a web browser. From the H1 web page, they select the Downloads tab and here they will see the H1 PS driver for Mac OS X.
    With this driver downloaded onto the SL Mac, there are now several things needed to get this driver installed and working correctly.
    *Driver Installation*
    In order to run the EFI installer on Mac OS X 10.6, you need to have the Rosetta emulator installed. This is due to the EFI driver installer being written in PPC code. A default install of Mac OS X 10.6 will not add the Rosetta emulator, so when you attempt to install the driver a message will appear asking if you want to install it. Click the Install button.
    On a Mac that has a connection to the Internet, Rosetta will be automatically downloaded and installed before the initial execution of the Fiery printer driver installer. If the Mac has no access to the Internet, the user will need to load their Snow Leopard DVD and manually run the Optional Installs package.
    *Printer Queue Creation*
    With the printer driver installed, you can now create a network print queue. Click to Add and select IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol. In the Print Using menu, select "Canon iR C5180-H1 PS Ver1.0".
    With the printer queue created, when you attempt to print using the driver an error message appears stating that the software was not installed correctly. The error message displayed is caused by a permissions issue with a EFI plugin, fierycupsfilter. The CUPS error log confirms the cause of the error;
    Filter "/Library/Printers/Canon/PS3/Filters/fierycupsfilter" for printer "CanoniR_C5185_H1_PS_Ver10" not owned by root
    EFI have released a patch that will change the permissions on the PS3 folder to stop this error from occurring. This patch is designed to work with the System 6 and later RIPs whose driver installer creates this PS3 folder. The patch can be downloaded from EFI.
    http://services.efi.com/support/drivers/download2.asp?oem=efi&sys=Applemac_osx106&ver=NA
    *Driver PDE Plugin Incompatibility*
    Now that you have managed to install the driver and print without the error message appearing, another issue may appear when printing from 64bit applications, such as Safari and Preview.
    When you select to print and change the print dialog menus, you will see a line through the Fiery option (known as stike-through). This is the result of using a 64bit application with a 32bit plugin. The solution is to set the 64bit application to open in 32bit mode via the Get Info function for the 64bit application.
    Hope this helps you with getting your colleague printing from Snow Leopard. Of course, reply if needed.

  • I was just given a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro. It does not have a system on it.

    I have my original disks from my early 2009 MacBook Pro. When I try to use the OS Install disk to install 10.5, which is what the early MacBook came with, it won't boot the computer. I have the upgrade to 10.6.3, but it will not work either, since it is only an upgrade.
    I have 10.6.8 backed up to an external disk, but I want to have a different administrator name so we don't get confused. I have used the backup to at least get the mid 2009 working. I am unable to do an Erase and Install, which is what I want to do, even though there is nothing there.
    Here is the Hardware Overview from the mid 2009:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro

    Here is the Hardware Overview from the Early 2009:
    Hardware Overview:

      Sudden Motion Sensor:
      State:          Enabled
    Is there any fix? Are the earlier, early 2009 disks incompatible with the mid 2009? Am I stuck with having the same Administrator for two computers? Does anyone have any suggestions?
    There are compelling reasons that I don't want to upgrade past 10.6. I won't be able to get at MOST of my data because of Apple no longer supporting Rosetta. I have two other computers running Mountain Lion and Mavericks, but want to keep 10.6.8 on the MacBook Pros early and mid 2009.
