Can iMac memory work in Macbook pro

So you mean that I should change it but keep the original with me if in case it doesnt work then I can use the original right ?
Yes. Most memory modules come with lifetime warranty.
But sometimes memory modules do not work and until the replacement modules arrive
you can keep the computer working if you have original modules at hand.
Best.

  • External drive not working on iMac, but works on Macbook Pro

    I have read a few different threads relating to this question, with no real luck of a permanent solution.
    I have an external drive that works perfectly on my Macbook Pro. My new iMac will not show the drive though (both with the current software).
    The drive itself shows a power light and appears to be running/powered by the USB port.
    I have tried several ports.
    It does not show in Disk Utility.
    The option in settings is set to show the drive in finder and on the desktop (I have checked this).
    I have tried restarting the iMac.
    I have also had this problem after the iMac has been turned off overnight, and turned on in the morning (and then plugging the drive in after powering on).
    I resolved this issue once by turning off the iMac, removing the power cord for a few minutes, and powering it up again.
    I don't think it should be something I have to do every time I would like to use the drive though - It would be very irritating if I had to do that every time.
    Any advice or options here?
    The iMac has only been used since Christmas day, 2014 - and has had this problem since that day (in which i solved it by the turn off/unplug thing).
    Sorry, I am aware this question has been asked a lot. I haven't come across anything that is giving me a long-term solution to this problem.
    Happy new year!

    Some USB-powered drives are just crappy. They require too much current from the USB and cause the bus to fail or the bus can't provide enough power for it to fully spin up. You can often hear or feel them clicking periodically (like once a second) as they are trying to spin up.
    If this is the case, a powered Hub, external power supply, or Y-cable will be necessary to consistently use the drive.

  • Can bluetooth gps work with MacBook Pro?

    If you have an iPhone, you have a gps and bluetooth. I'd like to get a MacBook Pro to sync with that geo locating capabilities, and/or with a Dual XGPS150. Anyone know a way to do this? Is it possible?

    Thanks for the reply chattphotos. It just seems odd that Apple would not recognize this would be a useful feature for astronomers, geologists, photographers, and other professions that use geo-related laptop applications. Oh well.

  • Yamaha MOTIF ES8 Can't get working with Macbook Pro

    I found this post but it's been archived and the person still couldn't get it working. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1076838
    I can't either, I hook up the Motif via USB and change it to USB and my Mac doesn't see the device under Audio Midi, such an expensive Keyboard and it's going to waste. Half the reason I got a mac was to use it with my keyboard, never thought I'd have so much trouble. I'm using the AMS but it never registers and Logic Pro never sees any device. Not that I know how to use Logic Pro.

    Did you install the drivers?

  • TS3276 Web through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights.

    Went through this step-by-step, but alas it did not solve the problem. For some reason I can download mail on my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but no my iMac. Connection Doctor shows all green lights. This started today when I was prompted to re-enter incoming mail server passwords. I re-entered passowrds yet again to make sure they were correct. Rebuilt the inBox. Connection Doctor continues to show all green lights, but am still unable to download mail to the inbox. Has anyone else ever run into this problem?

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did. 

  • AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

    My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

    Did you ever find out what the problem is???

  • How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10

    How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?

    The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
    Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
    There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.

  • Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

    Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
    It needs to be wireless.
    I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
    Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

    My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
    Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
    PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
    Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    "Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to. 

  • Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?

    Does the Apple remote control work with MacBook Pro with retina? If yes, how can I sync it?
    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

    I use
    Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
    and
    Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
    Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage.
