Autocad help for macbook ?

is it ok if I installed autocad 2013 while my macbook is 2GB memory ( Autocad 2013 needs at least 3GB) ?

It will run Autocad very slowly and may crash your Mac.
In any case 2GB of RAM is far too little.

  • Help for Macbook novice

    Hi, apologies in advance if this is the wrong message board.
    I am trying to help a friend with his daughters macbook.  I am not particularly savvy with Apple products, having kept to my windows system.
    This particular macbook had an issue with its hard drive, the drive was ultimately replaced, as no OS ever came with the computer she is struggling with how to get it working.
    I felt certain that if she purchased it new, then she of course has the rights to whichever version of OS came with it.  But the question is how to get it back on there?
    I have read many articles on here and other websites.  I read about holding command, option and R and triggering some kind of online restore, but nothing happens when i try this.  A friend gave me a disc that is supposed to be a restore disc for MAC OS X, we are not sure this is the right OS, which gets me into OS X Utilities, however when i try to install OS X, I get a message saying that it was "unable to download additional components needed to install MAC OS X"  I did have the wireless active before doing this.
    If it were a PC I would have it sorted by now, I am sure it cant be this hard.  Hoping somebody on here can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks for reading
    Mike

    If you're not close to an Apple Store...
    Here's how to find the serial number:
    How to find the serial number for your Apple hardware product
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303372
    Once you find the serial number, enter it here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    This will give you some basic information (e.g. MacBook Pro (15-inch,Early 2011) about your model.
    Searching on this model information (you may get more than one hit since you may not know the chip speed of the CPU) at EveryMac:
    http://www.everymac.com
    will give you some information about what operating system shipped with the computer (Pre-Installed MacOS) and what the latest version of the Mac OS the computer will support (Maximum MacOS) assuming that that operating system's CPU, RAM, and storage requirements are met.
    I won't get into details about whether you may need Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) install DVDs ($19.99), but they are available through the online Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and may be required if the computer is older and will support Snow Leopard.

  • Need help for MacBook Air, is 64Gb enough?

    So i was thinking, is there enough space in then64Gb macbook air (2011 11'')? Not going to use it for big games just surfing the web (Facebook, YouTube, google), maybe some applications (Angry Birds and stuff) but not much.. Anyone please help, so basically gonna use it to surf the web not a "proffesional use". Thanks

    Yeah, the only reason I would say to get the 128GB MBA is because of the ram. The base model RAM ($999) isn't enough speed considering that you have a solid state drive in your presence.
    In regard to the harddrive alone, I like to keep my harddrive organized, so I find smaller harddrives actually beneficial, since if I'm given the space, I would use it up and let things sit on there I don't use. With 128GB, I keep a LaCie Porsche mini harddrive with me, where I dump all my movie and music files, and what not. I either play those movies straight off there, or I put a couple movies I seriously will watch in the near future. I never think that I will be caught in a disaster situation where I would need 6+ hours of movies in one sitting, so I always keep the inventory I keep on my MBA slim. And if I ever need a movie, I really don't mind attaching the mini ext. harddrive for a few minutes to download that particular movie.

  • Antivirus help for MacBook...

    Hello everyone...
    As far as I know, Macbook can not be affected by any virus. Is it true?
    If it is true can anyone suggest any antivirus?
    I recently discovered that, My Macbook became slow. I dont know why. Do I need to use any software to solve this problem?
    Thanks for reading...
    May God be pleased with you...

    First take a look at a couple of articles...
    ds store's Why is my computer slow?
    And Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    The first may help in 'speeding up' your computer. The latter inform you of the 'threat's to your computer security.
    Good luck,

  • Messages help for Macbook Pro

    how do you get your phone number to show up when you send a message from your mac, and not your email?

    There is software for the Mac Phoneview, and both the Mac and PC is Touchcopy. I know that Touchcopy works, I have used it on my PC. They have a free trial, I'm just not sure how much you can get off the phone with that. You can check on it.

  • I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and then the macbook started to glitch! WHY????

    Hello,
    I downloaded AutoCAD 2013 for mac and after 20 minutes work in the Autocad my macbook pro with Retina display 13 inch (OSX 10.9.1)  started to glitch.
    Then I deleted  this program from mac, but it is still glitching. When I am moving windows, the picture on display is just breaking and after few seconds it is ok. Moreover, the Multi-Touch Trackpad's three, four finger function is also glitching.
    Did it happen because something wrong with my graphic drivers which could be replaced by the AutoCAD
    Please help me with this!!!

    Reinstall AutoCAD and relaunch teh program. AutoCAD leaves the GPU in a bad power state in Mavericks, which causes problems.

  • Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help?  What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?

    Is Mac's firewall sufficient or is will an additional firewall help?  What security suite do you recomend for MacBook Air with Maverick?

    Third party security software is better at causing problems then it is at solving them.
    I recommend against them.
    If you felt it is necessary then configure the firwall software included with OS X.

  • Hi, I downloaded the app for macbook "Lens Flare for Final Cut" and I've struggled a lot to install this app at final cut . Someone could help me ? i´m from Mexico i speak spanish

    Hi, I downloaded the app for macbook "Lens Flare for Final Cut" and I've struggled a lot to install this app at final cut . Someone could help me ? how i can install this app in Final Cut? this app cost me money and not is working to me, i am disappointed sorry if a write bad, i´m from Mexico i speak spanish

    This is a user2user board for FCPX - maybe better you discuss your issues with the makers of that 'plug in'
    Seems for me a  bit 'fishy', isn't it? - other professional plug-in makers deliver with an installer... That advice at AppStore, how to install it, is ... rare:
    How install it ? – click the launch button. Motion 5 will start itself. When Motion is open click save as. Write a generator name - Lens Flare and choose category RGB HOUSE or make it. Click Publish and you are done. If you don’t have Motion 5 look at support site - how to install in FCP.
    How it works ? – In Final Cut Pro you will find in Generators RGB HOUSE group, where will be Lens Flare. Drag this generator above all clips in timeline. When it’s there remember to change blending mode to Screen (in video section). You can adjust color, steak color, glow, intensity, scale - apacity and blur of artifacts, position. Any parameter could be stored as a keyframe, so You can easily animate the flare.
    so, I don't speak Spanish, lets have some fun with translate.google...:
    Cómo instalarlo? - Haga clic en el botón de inicio. Motion 5 comenzará Misma. Cuando el movimiento está abierto clic en Guardar como escribir un generador de nombres -. Resplandor del objetivo y seleccionar categoría RGB CASA o hacerlo. Haga clic en Publicar y ya está. Si usted no tiene el movimiento 5 vistazo a sitio de soporte - cómo instalar en FCP.
    Cómo funciona? - En Final Cut Pro se encuentra en el grupo generador RGB CASA, donde serán destello de lente. Arrastre este generador por encima de todos los clips en la línea de tiempo. Cuando es allí te acuerdas de que cambiar el modo de fusión a la pantalla (en la sección de vídeo). Usted puede ajustar el color, color carne, brillo, intensidad, escala - falta de definición apacidad y artefactos de su posición. Cualquier parámetro podría almacenarse como un fotograma clave, por lo que puede animar fácilmente la antorcha.
    Hope it makes at last a little sense... I don't trust these automatic translators
    (the German translation is ... awesome funny!)
    Finally: it's from 2012! Needs probably an update - contact the dealer!

  • Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

    Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

    You can pickup any 1TB USB powered drive for about $100 at just about any local office supply store.
    It comes formatted FAT32 (MSDOS) for reading by OS X and Windows PC's.
    However if your files sizes are going to be larger than 4GB in size (like video tends to be) then your going to need to select the drive in OS X's Disk utility (in the Applicaitons > Utilities folder) and format the drive exFAT instead.
    exFAT is a drive format that 10.6.5 and later Mac's, Windows Vista and 7 machines can read just fine. XP machines need a free exFAT drive install from Microsoft.
    Do backup the 1TB to another 1TB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or another backkup utility because 1TB is a lot of data to lose on a $100 drive.
    I don't advise the "port powered" USB drive as these tend to have power issues and with 1TB of data on it, very risky. Use a powered drive if you can all help it.

    Not at this time. It would also be great to have an adjustment for sensitivity too.
