Can you put a regular phone line into a MacBook pro?

I have a bigger one that fits into my laptop but doesn't fit into the phone jack on my wall.

the larger one is called an ethernet jack.  not the same as the smaller phone jack.
your macbook doesn't come with a built in modem - unless you own a 2004 or under..

  • Can I put the 2Gb RAM (X2) from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook 5,1? The intel is different (2Ghz not 2.3) and the speed is 1067 not 1333. But they are both DDR3.

    Can I put the 2Gb RAM (X2) from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook? The intel is different (2Ghz not 2.3) and the speed is 2000 not 1333. But they are both DDR3.
    I have just upgraded the Pro to 16Gb and the MacBook is SO slow. Just wondering if I could use the old RAM.

    Full specification of MB5.1 RAM;
    204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
    MBP8.1, 8.2 or 8.3;
    204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
    PC3 is the same as DDR3. the number is peak transfer rate (approximated).
    Further reading suggests your swap may work, but it's not guaranteed. If you get 3 beeps on start up (or the sleep light flashing in bursts of 3), first check it's correctly seated, but be prepared to swap them back.
    If you encounter any instability or kernel panics, change them back.

  • Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

    Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

    cwhargrave,
    have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
    If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

  • Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system 10.6.8?

    Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system OS X10.6.8?  I just bought a new printer and it requires minimum 10.7

    You cannot get Mavericks because it has been replaced by Yosemite. Your machine will work just fine with Yosemite, but you don't have to upgrade if you prefer not to.
    You should always maintain a backup. Hard drives fail, data are lost. A backup is a security blanket for your data.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
         used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
         requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
         drive being backed up.
    3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
         capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
      1. Cool Drives
      2. OWC
      3. WiebeTech
      4. Firewire Direct
      5. California Drives
      6. NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    I can't remember my password to log into my macbook pro. Help?

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • Can you upgrade the RAM on a Retina Display Macbook Pro?

    So I've been looking around for information on whether the RAM on a Retina Macbook Pro can be upgraded and the mixed messages have left me confused. If I take my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) to an Apple store for a RAM upgrade and offer to pay them for the RAM and installation, would they do it for me?
    Thanks and if you can't, please explain why.
    I am aware that the RAM is soldered into the motherboard making it very difficult to perform the upgrade, but will some stores actually do it for you?

    The MacBook Pro with Retina display is soldered onto the logic board, so RAM can't be added without replacing the logic board.
    I know there are shops that may try to add more RAM without replacing the logic board, but they aren't official resellers and if something happens, the warranty will be voided. Apple won't do it.
    If you want, you can sell your MacBook Pro and get another one with more RAM. It's the best way to do it, because I don't think you want to spend a lot of money replacing the logic board or you want to take it to a non-official technical support, putting the Mac in risk

  • Can you enable Intel VT-x and EPT on macbook pro 3,1

    Hi,
    Has this problem still ongoing?

    Hi,
    I use the same kind of MacBook Pro but am also a newbie. So maybe I can give some hints.
    1) To automatically load a module, edit /etc/rc.conf and add the name of the module to the MODULES list.
    2) Did you add pommed to the DAEMONS list of /etc/rc.conf ? Works for me perfectly.
    3) I just strictly followed the Beginners Guide of the wiki.
    - added !snd_pcsp to MODULES in rc.config
    - installed alsa-utils
    - installed alsa-oss
    - added myself to the audio group
    - invoked alsamixer to unmute channels
    4) It can be configured in some files located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ . I've never looked into that because I use an external mouse.
    Hope some of that helps,
    Viv

  • Can you do a test for me on your Macbook Pro?

    I'm using the latest 2.4 Macbook Pro with 2Gm RAM, so would be great if you had a similar setup. But a slightly different one would get me helpful results as well.
    In L8, can you create an empty project with 9 instances of ES1, each playing a three note chord using the default patch.
    What's the CPU use?

    Well your Geekbench score looked pretty normal.
    My best guess is that perhaps when using xslimmer to strip out architectures (which I really don't advise anyway) you might have knackered something without realising it.
    Your hardware performance looks generally ok, so I would go for an OSX/Logic reinstall to rule that out. I reckon that very probably will fix it. Stop putting it off, bite the bullet and do it.
    If it doesn't, I'd take it in to get looked...
    (Also, wasn't sure if you'd checked this, but select the Logic Pro application in the finder and do a get info. Make sure the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox isn't ticked.)

  • Can you migrate just one file(iPhoto) to a MacBook Pro?

    How do you migrate from a MacAir to. New 13 in MacBook Pro the iPhoto file, everything else came thru Icloud

    Yes, you can.
    The iPhoto Library contains all your iPhoto contents, it's in your Pictures folder on the account on the MacAir.
    If you just want one photo out, then you can right click on iPhoto Library and "show package contents" and inside is a fodler called Originals, open that and locate your picture and copy it over.
    You also can export via the iPhoto program on the Air.
    Use a external drive or USB thumb drive depending how much you have.
    If your Air is worthless as a machine and you need to access the storage drive...
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
    As a note, just because your iTunes may have come through iCloud doesn't mean it's safe, supposedly someone here deleted their old machine data and thus all the newer machines iTunes music disappeared....

  • Can you upgrade the hard drive on the new MacBook pro?

    i Am buying a new MBP 13" but need to know if the hard drive can upgraded easily in the future if I need a larger drive.

    Actually you can.   The SSD is a PCie blade type SSD, and although you'll need to dissamble the MacBook, replacement is possible on a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Mid+2014+SSD+Rep lacement/27849
    It will void the warranty if you attempt this though.
    RAM on the other hand is soldered to the Logic board.

  • Can you downgrade from Snow Leopard to Leopard if MacBook Pro is shipped with SNL

    I have recently purchased a MBP with 10.6.8 already installed but it came with no disks and i wish to fromat to get it truley cleaned up. I have my shop bought Leopard i pruchased for my Imac and my leopard disks that came with a later MB, when i insert the leopard disk when booted it reads ok hit the install button MBP reboots but just sits with white/blue screen and nothing happens. Tried rebooting and holding C still nothing happens apart from the MBP does not boot up but hangs. Tried pressing alt at boot up and the option to choose the disk appears I select it nothing happens yet the mouse no longer moves, it just sits there. The disk is fine as i used it to reformat a friends MB 1 hour before i attempted mine.
    So if the MBP came with SNL already installed can you not roll back to leopard, or is there something I'm missing.
    model: 15.4 MBP 2.8ghz core duo 500hdd 4gb ram etc...

    Hi all
    Ok so I went ot the local Apple shop and they have stopped stocking SNL but advised i can download Lion and install and even though it didn't format i could when installed boot to the recovery partion -utilities and erase from there and then do a full install thus allowing a full format.
    So erase done click install lion and it connected to the net and then sat for some time so what i'm asking is does this now have to down load the 4gb image again. I assumed it installed from the partition but will it download and install if so this could take some time as the Lion download took approx 8 hours.
    Please tell me that is not the case as that is seriously flawed and left me in a dodgy position as i have erased my hdd and will have to wait till i can get a day off to run the next install.
    as a foot note i was advised to copy the image and then burn so i would have a hard copy i did this would it be quicker to do it from thi disc.
    thanks in advance
