Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch): Maximum momory?

Hi,
There are confusing posts on the maximum memory I can put on Apple MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (17-inch). Is it 3GB or 8GB?
Thanks in advance,
YD

Apple says 3GB's, but you can run a max of 4GB's, although only about 3.3GB's will be able to addressed by your system. However, you'll get better performance by running matched pairs, so upgrade to 4GB's.

3GB. You can install 4GB. The computer will only utilize approximately 3.3GB though.

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer? Thanks for the input.

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

SLEEP/WAKE PROBLEM on my Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Greetings!
I love APPLE. So APPLE, please do try to help me out here...
The first problem I encountered was a faded translucent bluish/grayish rectangular line stretching from top to bottom suddenly showing up. I've shown this to our local APPLE technician and my LCD was replaced. Nice job here APPLE!
Now for the latest problem occurring as I'm writing this post. When I have my laptop fall into sleep, for say at least 5 minutes, and attempt to wake it up.. the user interface doesn't show up. The screen remains black and that pressing any key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse will automatically restart the laptop always (I do hope my internal hard disk won't be damaged from this reoccurring dilemma of mine). I've observed that this current problem started after my LCD was replaced.
Does anybody have the same problem as I have? If so, please do give me possible solutions for this? I've already talked with our local APPLE technician and told me that there might be some problems with the motherboard inside that may opening the laptop might be necessary.
Still... No worries APPLE (as of yet), I still love it even though it's my first time using such a wonderful invention of technology.

Hi. This is Fathom Graphis again.
Reading one of the threads that mentions an individual asking for help from an Apple certified technician with a problem that's quite the same as mine, I followed the instructions given by this Apple technician that there may be an application or some device activated in the "SHARING" folder (under *System Preferences*) that's causing the problem of the laptop not waking up and requiring hard reset to get back to the Mac OSX user interface.
So, I checked my sharing folder and found that my *"PERSONAL WEB SHARING"* option is activated (Under the SERVICES menu). I deactivated (unchecked) it and tested my laptop sleeping function by shifting the PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP arrow to 1 minute and letting the laptop sleep for 10 minutes. After which, I moved the mouse and the MAC OSX User Interface came abruptly and the laptop didn't restart. I tested it again by letting it sleep for another 10 minutes and waking it up through mouse click and the MAC OSX User Interface showed up abruptly and the laptop, again, restarted.
So far, I'm still putting my laptop under observation. But I just want to inform everybody with their supposed respective SLEEP/WAKE problems on their Macbook pros (or Macbooks) that this may solve their issues (though I provide no guarantees, okay? I'm just a common user who happen to find a solution accidentally).
Still I want to address APPLE that certainly, letting your laptop sleep and waking it up and restarting itself after with the Personal Web Sharing activated (or checked under System Preferences > Sharing > Services) is indeed a "bug" that needs to be fixed. So hopefully, the people at APPLE would try to resolve such an issue as soon as possible (because, to my knowledge, sudden restarts of Hard Disks may cause data damages). God Bless You All.

Macbook pro mid 2006 (Intel Core Duo) how can I install new OS ? I cannot update the 10.6.8 and new software doesn't work anymore

802.11n Enabler Doesn't work with 17" MacBook Pro (2.16) Intel Core Duo

While I would believe that the computer does meet the requirements and that it does have the extreme card and after following the instructions -- checking the network utility ap, etc. It is very strange that you get a "Alert: Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." So you don't think that I am a fool, I did check the Network Utility and there is no "n" so it was never updated.
Is there any way to do this manually?
Thanks in advance.

The Core Duo machines don't have the newer Extreme card whose chipset supports 802.11n.
You can do some potentially warranty-voiding surgery, however, to replace the MBP's stock card with the Mac Pro Airport Extreme Upgrade card, which supports 802.11n and is plug-compatible with the MBP's stock card. It's available for $49 from places like PowerMax and Small Dog.

Cable that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

Hi,
The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working. I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies. What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)? And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
Thanks-
Sheri

Hi Sheri,
The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro models have a Mini DisplayPort for video out, which can be connected to a VGA connector using Apple's adapter. See this product page -
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
VGA does not carry an audio signal.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

Purchase RAM for Macbook Pro 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009

Hello,
I need to upgrade the current memory(2 GB) of my Macbook pro (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009) model..Can someone please suggest where I could purchase and what is the maximum and optimal that I could buy.
Also I reside in India, so should I get it online or from the apple store which is like 100 km (nearest) from my place .
Thanks
Shubham

You can buy them oniine if you wish to do so. Buying it from Apple is a good idea but would cost more, and since it's 100km away, after your gas = more money.
The maximum you can install is 8GB. Your RAM specs are 1333MHz - DDR3 - 204PIN SODIMM.
Check here for current prices online and compare to the price Apple sells them in your area.
If you're not in a big rush - then buying online is a good idea.
Good luck

Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Hello,
I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

MacBook Pro 17" with Intel Core 2 Duo startup freeze with 10.6.8?

With my MacBook Pro 17" with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz startup freeze with 10.6.8 - I had problems after several SW upgrades. Startup ends every time in a freeze or a crash, nothing is running, i am not able to type in the password. it starts in beginning with thin colored disrupting lines on the display and this get more and more and than freeze the system.
"Save Boot", startup with shift shows no problems, display is ok, no freeze. So something must new in the video-driver. Is there any driver what I can delete or any new software to help in this issue?

try to boot off the cd installazzione, when the screen appears to follow thePACKING screen viewing. If you've already looked in the manual are your problem?

Prices have crashed. Look and you can find Samsung 128's and others for $89 sometimes.
It is not just moving the OS and data apart, though it does matter, and more from you should never have the OS cluttered with data, been doing that for... 35 yrs. 0.01 ns vs 10 ms. 60k IO's per second. Reads in 220MB/sec but held back from making full use of SATA 6G.

MacBook Pro 8,1 – Intel Core i5 – 2.23 GHz (early 2011) New with OSX 10.6 – current on all updates.
I successfully installed rEFit. I used Boot Camp to install Win 7. All was great.
Then installed debian 6. Somehow after the debian install and restart (I know this sounds crazy) but I am now reduced to Win 7 only. rEFit is not present when rebooting nor is OSX or debian. Further, I am unable to force the install DVD to launch when rebooting, by holding C, D or F8. The Option key brings me to the grey screen with a padlock. I have attempted the root and local pw- no go. Restart holding D takes me to the windows boot manager. I have attempted several options within the Advanced Options; including – Repair Your computer, safe mode and “last known good config,” All of which did nothing.
I can see all my OSX files within win7. I tried to install the OSX within windows. Ya right, that did nothing..
I only desire to get back to OSX...
What are my options??

Yes, you royally hosed up your machine.
You should first try to get your files off, any way you can to a external drive.
Your going to need to hold c and boot from the disk that came with your computer and a couple of screens in under the menu is a option for Disk Utility.
Select your drive and Erase with Security Option Zero, format the drive HFS+ Journaled and when that's finished (about a hour or so) then quit and install OS X from the installer.
I hope this works, but I suspect it won't. Others have hosed their machines trying to use a Linux disk without proper partition formatting too.
Another option might be to use another Mac to c boot off the Snow Leopard disk and install OS X onto a external drive, take that to the problem Mac and try holding option and booting off of it to erase your internal drive.
You could replace the drive.

Is this holding option while booting?
There was someone else around here who hosed their Mac with a Linux disk too. Try to find it.
