Anyone install additional RAM into your new MacBook?

I slapped a new 1 gig stick into my MacBook and noticed that after removing the bracket in front of the ram slots, adding new ram and putting it back that the bracket wasn't quite flush due to the pads that cover the ram slots, even after screwing the bracket back in. Anyone else experience this? I am just curious as to whether or not it is normal. When I removed the bracket initially to get at the RAM, I don't recall if the bracket was dead flat against the slots.

oh no, the RAM installed just fine. I am speaking to the metal bracket that covers the RAM slots and needs to be removed before installing ram. This bracket has cushions that cover the slots. When I put the bracket back on after installing the RAM, I was unsure whether or not these cushions should fit under the top of the RAM slots so that the bracket is flat after being screwed back in?
If you remove the battery and look at the RAM slots, is the bracket after RAM installation completely flat?

Installing additional RAM into hp s5150t

I have a quad core s5150. I recently tried to add two additional RAM modules. I verified that I had purchased the correct RAM on curcial.com and by speaking with their reps. The computer would not take the RAM in any configuration. We tried seating the new RAM into the old modules one at a time and it still would not work. At last, the crucial rep told me to try and update the BIOS. Hard as I tried, for three hours, I was unable to find the BIOS update on the HP website despite looking where the HP video told me to look. There were lots of update options but no BIOS heading. The auto detect tool could not identify my computer for some reason. The HP Update tool installed with the machine said no updates were available.
I am wondering a few things, 1) Where can I find the BIOS update on the HP site? It is not in the list of updates on this page, where it is supposed to be:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4002...
2. Is it possible there is a problem or conflict beacuse the machine shipped with Windows Vista and I updated it to Windows 7? Looking in the BIOS, the last update was May of 2009, long befoe Windows 7 was updated from the old VISTA files.
3. Any other reason you might know for the modules to not be working? We exchagned them for a fresh set already and still the same problem. They are clicking into place. Not sure what to try.

Thanks for your support, Jaco. I appreciate your input.

HT1270 does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

Only for the RAM which should be covered by the manufacturers/vendors warranty. Now if you damage the MBP while installing the RAM then you may find yourself voiding the MBP warranty. But ir does take a lot to do that.

Capture HDMI into a new MacBook pro?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew a way of capturing HDMI into my new MacBook pro? I've had a search and cannot find anything. I'm not sure if any of the black magic products could do it? http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/
Many thanks,
Tom

Hi - If your MacBook Pro has an Express 34 card slot (I believe only the 17" Mac Book Pros have them now) then you should look at the Matrox products, like the Matrox 02 Mini for laptops:

Want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(

Hello,i want to install Photoshop CS4 on my new macbook, but i'm receiving Fault 150:30. You should contact support from adobe :-(
I already tried every step on the support site, but Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator still don't work. So this is an S.O.S. here...

I've repaired many a 150:30 error using this method. First make sure your account is an Administrator type.
When you type sudo <space> and drag LicenseRecover.py into the Terminal window, this is what you should see when you press Enter.
Type in your admin password if any, and let the script run and finish.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro

How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?

I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own.
You have two choices to use Windows 7. First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others). I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them). They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better). But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window. Easy.
We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website. It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp. Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator. But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp. Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

Yes, gladly. I am trying to install on a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3. I insert the disk into the SuperDrive. The I work '09 window pops up with two icons: one Tim install and one that says "Read before you install iWork." I double-click on the "Install iWork '09" icon, and a window appears that says, "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." I click "continue" and see "Welcome to the iWork '09 installer." I click on "Continue." The "read me" bullet on the left lights up, and I see "Read before you install. . . ." I click "Continue," then see the software license agreement. When I click on "Continue" again, I am asked to agree, and I do. The window then says, "Standard Install on 'Mackintosh HD" and indicates how much space the program will take.
I click "Install," enter my password, and the installation begins. It goes through a validating phase and begins "writing files." It indicates that installation will take about 30 minutes (although that number fluctuates). After about four minutes it goes to "cleaning up." Then after just a few seconds, the "Summary" bullet on the left lights up and this message appears: "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." There is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and a bold "The installation failed." Below that appears "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
At that point, a "Close" button is pulsating blue at the bottom of the window.
Sorry for the tedious detail. Anything revealing there?
Thanks!

Can i install snow leopard on my new macbook pro

I'm looking at a new laptop but I understand Adobe CS4 won't work on Lion, so I'd rather install Snow Leopard on the new macbook. Is this possible?

Difficult, and even reported "success" is likely not consistent enough for your *need* for Adobe CS4.
You can try for a unit off the refurbished list (Apple.com > Store, bottom of the left hand margin is the link). Units from pre-July and last year can be found, and come with warranties just like brand new.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved

I got a new Macbook pro in March and transferred all of my old files into the new macbook from my old one. But ever since then, my iPhoto just does not open up. It says 'error' every time I try to open it, but I am still able to attach the iPhotos saved to emails. Help! How do I get my iPhoto back?

Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

Can I transfer the hard drive from my Macbook into a new Macbook Pro?

I have been planning on purchasing a Macbook Pro for quite sometime now, however I find that the storage space on the base models is quite small. I currently have a 500gb hard drive on my Macbook, and I was wondering if there's any way I could transfer this hard drive into a new Macbook Pro.

If you are considering to purchase Mac Book Pro is not Retina, you can get 1TB HDD as option with +$50.

Hard drive crash on our iMac with CS4. Adobe has deactivated it from that computer and I need to download/install it onto our two new macbook pro computers

How do I download/install CS4 on our two new macbook pro computers? I have the discs but no disc player on the macbook pro computers?

Hi AnnieMay1,
I have done the necessary changes you will now be able to use the serial number.
Thanks

Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
Hope that helps
