Can I upgrade my MacBookPro mid 2007 to Mac OS ML?

I bought my mac in mid 2007 but how to be sure it belongs to the supported MacBookPro?
The webside http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/ tells me the latest supportet sytem is Lion 10.7.4 (which I am using).
How can I figure out if an upgrade would be good (in tearms of performance) or not?
Thanks for any help,
Dennis
MacBook Pro, 15"
2,16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Radeon X1600 128 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

Open App Store and buy 10.8. If the Mac isn't supported, you will see an error. Before install, do a backup and check that your apps are supported http://www.roaringapps.com

  • I can't upgrade my macbook mid 2007 to maverick its because is to old ? help me  guys

    i need help guys i dont know why i can not upgrade my macbook 13-inch mid 2007 from os x lion 10.7.5 to maverick

    No, the 2007 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion and Mavericks,
    It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
    While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

  • Can I upgrade my 27in Mid 2011 2.7GHz's graphics card?

    Can I upgrade my 27in Mid 2011 AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB 2.7GHz's graphics card to a AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz edition? If its possible that would be great.If any one can answer please do because i need to know.

    You maybe able to have Apple techs install one of these GPUs.
    1 or 2 GB GDDR5 (Radeon HD 6970M)
    Assuming Apple can still get the GPU, you can have them replace your current GPU, but the costs of the replacement will be out of your pocket.
    It will be a few hundred Dollars to have them do the replacement.
    AppleCare doesn't cover the costs of  upgrading/replacing existing/original components. Only free replacement and labor of existing hardware.
    This is NOT something I recommend a novice or newbie Mac upgrader try as the newer aluminum iMacs are very details oriented and are tedious and finicky to work on and upgrade.
    Lots of different fasteners, and small cables that can be damaged if one is not careful.
    DIY work on a newer iMac is a task for even seasoned Mac hardware upgraders.
    And if you do decide to try this on your own and you, inadvertently, "brick" your iMac, you'll be on your own.
    You won't be able to have an Apple store repair what you have done . Apple will not be able to help you and repair the damage that could happen.

  • Can you upgrade a MacBookPro hard drive from a "750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm" to a Solid State Drive easily?  The info seems to say that it's as easy as plugging the new drive into a drive slot?

    I am about to buy a new MacBook Pro, but want to try out the Serial Drive 7200rpm before taking the plunge to use the SSD....Can you upgrade a MacBookPro hard drive from a "750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm" to a Solid State Drive easily?  The info seems to say that it's as easy as plugging the new drive into a drive slot?

           It's easy, but not that easy.  You need to copy all the info from the drive currently in the mac to the new  one before you install the new SSD.  You can do          this by downloading cloning software (I use CarbonCopyCloner because it's free)
    Not to be picky but CCC is donationware, if you use it because of its quality you should send a little bit of money in appreciation, and as a bonus you get to turn the banner off.

  • Problems with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with Mac OS LION on it

    Hi guys !
    Get a problem with FileVault 2 on my iMac mid 2007 with MAC OS LION on it. FileVault 2 works, but after rebooting my system, it was unpossible to select an account with the cursor of my trackpad. No chance.
    Before activate Filevault 2 the trackpad works fine. No problems to select an account. Anybody else with the same problem ?
    Regards
    Volker

    Hi EVO67 !
    I checked out your solution, but.... sorry it doesn't works.
    So I cut off the bluetooth connection of the magic trackpad from my iMac and pair it again, but the problem is the same.
    May be it's bigger bug with LION, so I need an update for this function.
    But thank you very much for your help.
    Regards

  • I own Windows Photoshop CS and I am now working on a Mac can I upgrade from CS Windows  to CS6 Mac? or do I have to purchase the full version?

    I own Windows Photoshop CS and I am now working on a Mac can I upgrade from CS Windows  to CS6 Mac? or do I have to purchase the full version?

    So, just so I have this straight; would CS upgrade to CS5 or did you mean I would have to purchase CS5 to upgrade to CS6? And If so, does CS upgrade any further? i.e. CS 3 or 4? Thanks for your reply --
    CS will not upgrade to CS5. Historically, only CS2-CS4 ever qualified for upgrade to CS5. Those versions are all long superseded and no longer available from Adobe.
    Adobe currently only sells CS6 (for outright purchase) and the Cloud (by subscription only). Cloud members have access to both CS6 and CC.
    The only way to upgrade to CS6 is from CS5. Adobe no longer sells CS5. Unless you purchase the full version of CS5 from elsewhere (I don't see any point in that in this case) you would not be able to upgrade to CS6. You'd have to buy the full version of CS6. Or subscribe to one of the Cloud plans. PS+LR is an excellent deal if you use those products.

  • Can't update iMovie on Mid-2007 with Mavericks

    Even though Apple says that Mavericks support Mid 2007 iMacs, mine has a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 graphics card and consequently, I can't upgrade iMovie '11 and it has been temporarily rendered inoperable.   Apparenty the new upgraded iMovie can't support this card.
    I find it hard to believe that I can run Final Cut X and Adobe Premiere on Mavericks, but not iMovie.
    WHY doesnt' Apple let you know that?  Or did I miss something somewhere?
    I've had to reinstall my old version of iLife '11 to get iMovie to work again. Now, I'm back to the '11 versions of iLife and if I do the upgrade then it will render iMovie '11 useless.  So now I'm thinking this is a Mavericks issue.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    I called this problem into Apple and they solved it for me.  The problem is in the downloader associated with iTunes.  Skip that step and go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes softwere update (Version 11.1) directly.  I did this and installed it successfully.  After restarting the computer iTunes recognized my phone and all was well.  Then I updated and installed the ios7 update without any problems.  No charge.  Full cudo's to Apple!

  • Upgrading RAM on Mid 2007 Mac Mini

    My mother has a Mid 2007 Mac Mini, with 512MB RAM. In the past year or two, we've noticed its performance has been slowing. How much would upgrading to 1 or 2 GB of RAM help with the speed?

    A fair bit, but only if she installed many Dashboard widgets or RAM intensive applications.  Better that she leave the machine on overnight in screen saver, not energy saver mode, and make sure her hard disk isn't too full*:

    And if then things are still slow, consider upgrading the RAM to the limit allowed by the machine according to specs*:

  • Any Upgrades Possible for Mid-2007 MBP?

    I was wondering if anybody knew the answer to this question.
    Before I start, there are a couple of issues I'd like to address.
    First, my Macbook Pro's optical drive has become unreliable just like most other users have experienced over the years. To remedy this, I just purchased an external DVD writer. This leaves me with the thought to remove the superdrive and install a second HDD in it's place (See: Data Doubler). Also, the original HDD had failed during my Applecare warranty, and Apple had replaced it with a larger capacity one.
    Second, my Time Machine backup external HDD began to make unusual and loud noises today. To me It sounds like it's approaching failure (I certainly hope not), which has really made me think about stepping up to a RAID config.
    Finally, I've read in some articles about upgrading 4GB MBP's to 6GB. I was hoping if I could do the same with mine.
    So my question invovles the following: Can I upgrade my MBP to have two HDDs in a RAID1 configuration, and add more memory? Can I also set up an External RAID1 or RAID5 configuation? ? If none of these apply, what are my other possible options?
    I'm running Lion if that helps.
    Thank you.

    Just to be sure - is it a MacBookPro3,1? Need to know that first. But of course you can use the Data Doubler in your machine but to set up RAID, I think that you'd have to have two identical HD's in the bay. I've never used RAID on Mac' so I'll let someone else answer that.
    As to RAM, MacTracker reports that you can use up to 6GB of RAM (1 stick of 2 GB, 1 stick of 4 GB). You can't go wrong with calling the good folks at OWC to ask about a RAID config using their Data Doubler, though.
    And, as to your external 'dying,' I think that my first priority would be replacing it so that you can keep your back-ups up-to-date. You don't say, but since you can run Lion, I'm assuming you are? If so, then you could use Time Machine, which I swear by - I've been using it since my Snow Leopard days on a 2006 1,1.
    Again, I'd call OWC and ask for their recommendations. Sure, they're going to want to sell you something but they are always good for advice, too.

  • Can I upgrade my imovie 9 in my mac 10.6.8 ?

    I have a Macbook pro 10.6.8 with imovie 09. I tried to upgrade the imovie  by purchasing it on app store but it says that I need to have Mac OS X 10.10... so... how can I upgrade any of these two? I need to do a wedding video for my best friend!!!!Thank you!!

    Does your MBP meet the requirements?
    OS X Yosemite Requirements
    MacBook Air (late 2008 or later)
    MacBook (late 2008 aluminum or later)
    MacBook Pro (mid 2007 or later)
    iMac (mid 2007 or later)
    Mac mini (early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (early 2009)
    2 GB RAM minimum (I recommend a minimum of 4 GB of RAM)
    8 GB of drive space minimum. For basic installation, with only the default apps plus one or two of your own favorites, then 16 GB is a practical minimum.
    If it does you download and installed Yosemite OS X 10.10 from the the App Store.
    Backup first.

  • Logic board and power supply symptoms on a Mid 2007 I Mac Intel

    does anyone know what would cause my Mid 2007 Imac to quit abruply? On tun on the super drive spins up for about 5 sec and then spins down. No display No Nothing!! It was working fine up to this point. Could it be the power supply or logic board?? What other componants are in there that would cause this problem.
    It is my daughter- in- law's Mac and they don't have alot of money to fix it so if I could fix it that would help.
    THX for Ur Time!!

    Unfortunately no one hear can truly diagnose the problem.
    1. Run the Apple Extended Hardware Test using the original Install DVD 1 that came with that iMac.

    2. Call your local Authorized Apple Service Provider and have them test it.

  • Imac mid 2007 with mac ox lion reformat with what os

    hi i have a imac mid 2007 and i have with mac os x lion with it and i wanna reformat it because its so slow what os do i will install again?

    You may just need to reinstall, not reformat:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
