Can I take advantage of 64 bit on my late 2008 Mac Book Pro?

I'm running Lion 10.7.4
My processor is a 2.8 ghz intel core duo.
I have 4 gig of ram and want to get 4 gig more.
Big Logic and Mainstage user.
Thanks

You are already running 64-bit programs. Lion is fully 64-bit.

I have a late 2008 Mac Book Pro and would like to upgrade to 8G, any suggestions on a brand? I can only find Ramjet or Cruical for the upgrade and there is a $30 difference in price.

I ahve a late 2008 Mac Book Pro and would like to upgrade the memory to 8g. I can only find 2 options Crucial and Ramjet. There is a $40 difference in the cost. Does anyone know if one is better than the other?

I have gotten my RAM from either Crucial or Macsales. They are both excellent.

Hello Can u use plustek optic film 7400 with my late 2011 mac book pro intel i7 OS X v10,10,1, seems like it would worka

predate any comments or pointers.

If your search for software drivers for this optic film scanner device hasn't
been successful, you could try this other source for drivers that may work:
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/plustek_opticfilm_7400.html
However later drivers for old hardware can be troublesome, or patchwork
method to get by and so the results could be spotty. Hopefully you looked
through the results from a search engine and looked to see if there were
any other options. The above vuescan driver says for Mavericks 10.9, &
it may cost to be able to use it.
The factory support site isn't too promising for that model:

http://plustek.com/mea/support/drivers-and-downloads.html - check here
http://plustek.com/mea/products/opticfilm-series/opticfilm-7400/
Since older hardware gets left behind, it usually is good to keep an older
computer and its OS X version at the level of these peripheral products.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can i add a second hard drive to my late 2011 mac book pro 15.4

I have the 750 GB HD and am getting down to 300Gb I would like to ad the 750 hybrid to my mac book pro. But didn't know if there was a place to mount it because I havent taken it apart.

You'd have to remove the Superdrive...will void your warranty...and use something like this:

If you have any problems, you will have to reverse it all before you go to a genius bar. Many users do this with no issues.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

Can I transfer pages which I bought for iPad, to my Mac Book Pro?

You can transfer your documents from within the Pages app (there are instructions here), and you can copy the app to your computer's iTunes for backup purposes (File > Transfer Purchases), but you can't use the iPad's Pages app on your Mac, they are different operating systems.

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity?

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?

You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

Should it take sooo long to install Flash on a new Mac book pro? And should the CC panel say "syncing files" and look like it will never finish?

I Have CC and it's taking so long to install on my new Mac book pro. The CC panel also says its syncing files down at the bottom, it's so slow it looks like it will never finish. Should it be taking this long?

I had an issue where I had to wipe my mac as well. What you have to do to format the hard drive and reinstall is this:
Restart the computer while holding down the option key. Choose the recovery disc. Find the main hard disc and hit format. Then you can reinstall Lion via the internet, it takes a while though, my computer took 5 hours or so.
For your first question, if you got the family version of office, I believe you have 3 computers you can authorize it on. If you are not sure, look it up in the apple store.
For the second: Time machine would probably be your best option, but I would reccomend restoring from a backup before you were having problems, and restore that one (put new files you need on another external or a digital-online storeage site such as dropbox.) To restore a backup, restart your computer and hold command+R and select "Restore from Time Machine Backup" (for more information go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 )
I don't believe tere is anything else you need to do, but I am new to macs, so I may not be the best source, but this is what I have found/have had to do.

Can i transfer voice notes from my iPod touch to my mac book pro

how can i get my voice notes to my mac book pro from my ipod touch

Yes
From the Manual
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1657/en_US/ipod_touch_ios6_user_gui de.pdf
Sharing voice memos with your computer
You can sync voice memos with the primary iTunes library on your computer, then listen to
memos on your computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
When you delete a synced memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded, but
is deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced memo on
iPod touch, it's copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you can’t sync
that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer and select it in iTunes.
Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and
click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
Memos playlist in iTunes. Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on
iPod touch, but not in the Music app.

That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.
