Are you supposed to see the 9600gt under "about this mac"?

Hi!
My girlfriend had a problem (black screen) with her unibody MBP 2,8ghz with dual Graphic card. She went to the apple store where they reset the SMC. The laptop worked again after that.
However when we look at "about this mac" we only see the 9400M and NOT the 9600GT. Yes we allready switched over to "best performance".
Is this normal? Or would this indicate that even though the laptop works again, the dedicated Graphic card doesn't?
Is there another way to know what Graphic card you are using?
Please let us know...

Yes, you should see both GPUs listed under System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays. If you don't, go back to the Apple Store and consult a Genius.

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Now when I try to open Excel, I get a message that there's not enough memory. When I check the storage under "about this Mac" it says I have 150 GB of 249 GB. Help please. Thanks

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Now when I try to open one particular document in Excel, I get a message that there's not enough memory. I can open other documents. The document I can't get to is the spreadsheet of my passwords. Go figure. When I check the storage under "about this Mac" it says I have 150 GB of 249 GB. I have a MacBook Air. Help please. Thanks, Connie

HT4060 Are you supposed to see the green battery icon on the ipad 4's lock screen while charging?

I've seen it on other apple devices, but not on mine. Is that normal? I would like to be able to see it.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As far as I know, iPads don't show the battery icon while it's being charged. It just only shows for a few seconds when you plug it to the charger, but then it disappears and you can only see your battery icon at the top right of the screen

Storage values under about this mac displaying incorrectly, but amount of space used IS correct. Any ideas?

I noticed recently that the "storage" under "about this mac" is displaying incorrectly. It doesn't show the correct values for my photos, videos, and audio files. It classifies this data under "other". I have been searching all over the internet, I went to the Apple genius bar yesterday and they recommended I re-install OSX. I did and it still shows up incorrectly. They were baffled, said they never really came across this issue. I have tried re-indexing spotlight, that didn't seem to help.
The amount of storage used IS correct. It just doesn't show up under the correct categories in storage, under about this mac. Also, the computer seems to work fine. No real issues. It's a mid 2012 MBP. 500gb hard drive. Most recent OSX is installed.
I DO NOT think it is local snapshots, cause my backups category is small and the amount of space used and free is correct. I have downloaded omnidisk sweeper to confirm this.
I have seen a few posts on here and around the web referring to this, but no real answers. I have also reviewed Pondini's info on this to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?!?!

Also,
I had installed a version of parallels with windows 7, but deleted it. Would parallels be causing my computer to index incorrectly? I I used appcleaner to delete all the parallels files so I do not have it anymore.

HT4381 How the **** are you supposed to read the serial # on apple tv?

How the **** are you supposed to read the small Apple TV Serial # on the bottom of the apple tv?

In that case: Check: Menu - Settings - General - About - Serial Number = ???
Your menu items may vary slightly.

Did you purchase this product direct from Apple online, in an Apple Store, or through a third-party authorized reseller? Or did you buy it from an original owner whose Applecare plan was supposed to be transitioned to a new owner, by them?
Do you have an original shipping carton the unit arrived in?
If the product was a retail 'open carton' purchase and no
back-track is possible, contact the reseller.
And if the computer had seen a major service with logic
board replaced, etc, it may have other issues with serial
number vs one they may have assigned it. Usually a
new logic board may have the SN flashed or if a unit
was determined to be a reman, a new # assigned. But
that would appear in System Profiler, if officially reman.
If you registered a product anywhere with Apple, it would show on a web page along with its serial numbers, going back several years, at this page after you log in there.
https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
A blue text with triangle See all products and services opens an Apple ID
sign-in window, then the page changes to show your items & info about them.
If you run the serial number through online Lookup, what appears?
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Not sure if this helps, 'your product' should appear - if registered.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I look at the storage on my Mac under about this Mac, what is included in the "other" category?

Hi, just about everything else...
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

Hi Amit,
In IExpense In R12 the Final Review Page and the confirmation page are not available under About this page link since they are linked to some other main page and thats how it works.
The only way you can check this page is use the below command to print the details of the page.
set serveroutput on;
begin
jdr_utils.printdocument('/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/summary/webui/FinalReviewPG');
end;
please run this in toad or sql plus you will get the page details in Xml format,

What should I see in Storage Info about this mac if i have fusion drive

I have a 21" Customized Fusion Drive Imac. The start up times have been slow ( over a minute each time ) and I am starting to doubt I have Fusion installed. My sister has a standard new 21" Imac and her system report reads identical to mine.
Should Fusion show up as anything different in the Storage section when you click 'about this mac'?
My storage shows identical to my sister who does not have Fusion Drive. We both have a 1TB Sata disk icon.

I also have 21.5"
it looks like this ( I think ) :

HT1349 I received a new logic board and now my computer has no serial number under 'about this mac', and I need it to submit questions to apple. What do I do?

I can't find the serial number for my mac after getting a new logic board on recall for my macbook pro.

You can open System Profiler and see if it contains your serial number.
Or have the computer near a previous connected Wifi or on a Ethernet cable to your router.
Reboot holding the D key down for like what would appear to be 10 minutes until Hardware Test appears on the screen.
You can run a test if you wish.
There is a pane at the top if selected will give you your new serial number.
You also can use Terminal
You can quickly retrieve any Macs serial number via the command line by using the following command string:
system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
The command results will look something like this:
$ system_profiler |grep "r (system)"
Serial Number (system): C24E1322XXXX
If that fails you can give them your MAC address which is unique to each machine and there are records at Apple with it.
Open Utilities > Terminal. Copy, paste and press enter:
For your computers Ethernet (wired) MAC address: ifconfig en0 | grep ether
For your computers Airport (wireless) MAC address: ifconfig en1 | grep ether

Are you suppose to hear the hard drive when you boot up your macbook

everytime i turn on my laptop..i could hear my hard drive go on? is that normal?

It depends on the noise you are hearing, some of the 7200 RPM drives do make a slight noise, but if it is a clicking noise, then you need to get it serviced

How are you supposed to find the latest podcast if there's little information about the podcast due to the recent iTunes changes?

For example, many of the podcasts for Washington Week all have "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill a..."

You should blur out or cover your login if you post this sort of shot.
Click on the image for the podcast itself:
Better still, click on the 'Subscribe' button and you will get the latest episode downloaded to your Mac as soon as it's posted.

Are you supposed to hear the hard drive?

Just wondering if i'm supposed to hear my Hard drive in my 5G iPod? I just hear it a little, a sort of soft whir and an occasional soft click or the drive writing or reading. Maybe i'm just over protective. Any thoughts?
Dell Dimension 4400 Windows XP Pro

Thanks A Lot!
I also searched "Noise" throughout the forums (which i should have done from the start!) and found a lot of the same kind of question. Thanks for clearing that up!
