I read in document of apple and on apple web, it write maximum Ram 8GB, i don't understand 8GB for 2 slot (2X4=8GB) or 8GB for one slot (2X8=16GB). please help me to make clear? thanks
You can use an 8 GB memory module in each slot: 2 x 8 = 16 GB.

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. -
My facetime doesnt work. If I call somone they see I call but when they accept it doesnt work and when they call me the green camera light turns on but no sound or pop up of the video chat screen appears, please help! Macbook pro user.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain LionI just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton. -
i cannot found iLife app on my macbook pro and when i want to buying it i cannot and i have this massage (These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that AppleID and want to receive future updates, you will needto purchase the applications ) what i want to do now ? please tell me
Either use the Apple ID you used when you originally purchased the applications or you will have to purchase them using your Apple ID. If you did not have the other Apple ID, then you have the applications illegally or they were improperly included with a computer you purchased from someone else.

As a new Macbook Pro user I was saddened to find that the feature of using keywords in iPhoto '11 does not allow showing same under each photo. I understand this was available in earlier versions. Any comments?
Against TOU which you "agreed" to in order to post in these user to user forums. If you want to "suggest" something to Apple, do so in the Product Feedback area.

My computer was on one minute and off the next and will not restart. I took it to the apple store and
They said it is the logic board. I have been researching it and see that many MacBook Pro users have
Had the same issue. Doesn't seem fair to have to pay for something faulty on Apple's end. The computer
Is less than 3 years old. I expected it to work for a lot longer than this. Is there anything I can do that won't
Cost me? Also, how do I retrieve my files. I know they are on the hard drive but how do I get to them without
Having apple do it and probably charge me?
<Subject Edited by Host>Did you buy AppleCare?
I guess not or you wouldn't be complaining.

Easy, open it up, remove the drive and use a SATA to USB adapter to another Mac (or Windows PC with MacDrive)
My computer is dead, is my personal data lost?
For iPhoto Library, that's really a folder (it looks like a package) it can be right clicked on by OS x and "show package contents" to get the Origianls out.
However I don't know right off hand how that would appear on a Windows PC, perhaps as a iPhoto Library folder, perhaps not.
But the files are on the drive, and Data Rescue (Windows) can always be used to grab them directly.
iTunes Library can be transfered to a PC, as long as the account name is the same, it should work fine and maintain your playlists hopefully, but the music is easily accessible. -
I am a new MacBook Pro user - actually totally new to the Mac goodies and am having a bit of trouble sorting out how to get a DVD from my external DVD player onto the Mac and then onto my iPad (I travel a lot!). I have been a windows user for many years and am still trying to learn all the bits and pieces. I have VLC on this - don't have any trouble playing a DvD, just don't know how to do the rest i.e. rip it, change to an MP4 and get it onto my other device. Please help! You are more than likely to see many more "how do I do this" on here!
program called MDRP to rip it...... then use Wondershare to convert it, also Iskysoft video converter is an option.
You dont have to put it ON the Ipad, once on the Mac, you can Stream it wifi to the Ipad using the $2 program called VLC STREAMER (not VLC, but streamer made by VLC),.... best APP for your Ipad to stream videos from your MAC to your Ipad.

I'm a new UK Macbook Pro user and very inexperienced. I've got a new Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
All was fine until yesterday when I installed a new HP Envy series 110 wi-fi printer, Now the back arrow key (located below the disc eject key and above the return key on the right hand side of the keyboard) doesn't work, which is a pain as it means I can't browse without using the wi-fi mouse to go back on myself, or to use CMD[ keys or failing that the two finger scroll from left to right. I would really like the back arrow to work again. Any ideas?
Can I get my moneys worth here and ask another thing if that's ok, I also installed Norton Internet Security for Mac and once that was done, I was expecting to see, when I googled sites, something like a green circle to show if a site is ok, amber if it's a bit iffy and red for a don't go there.
My friend who runs Window 7 has it.
Thanks from an Old GalYou don't need Norton Internet Security. Uninstall it if you can.
Mac OSX is secure out-of-the-box. You don't need to run any other security software.
If you want to make your Mac more secure, upgrade to OSX Mountain Lion. -
How to Cool Down a MacBook Pro most efficient?
Hello,
I bought a MacBook Pro 13' a few days ago, and I'm very happy about the computer! Very good quality! I just have one little problem, when I'm gaming Flight Simulator, X-Plane, then my MacBook gets really hot. I know that there's methods to cool down a computer, but what's the best and most efficient methods to cool down my MacBook Pro 13' during gaming?
Hope some one is able to help ! Thank you !
AMLaursenNo I just found it on Amazon, I have a Belkin one I picked up at a supermarket near home. I don't game but I find Skype get the computer hot so I use the cooler then.
The one I have brings the temp down and the fans slow down as well.
I would have thought that they are all very much similar, just blowing air under the computer case, the Belkin ones leave a gap under the computer for the hot air to escape, not sure if that helps or not.

My spouse and I are MacBook Pro users. Is there a way to sync our photo stream together? I'll be traveling out of country so we'd like to be able to share family photos

HT1444 macbook pro user wondering which OS update I should have right now
macbook pro user wondering which OS update I should have right now
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You indicate that you have got an Early 2013 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, so you should have got OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or 10.9 (Mavericks). You can check this in > About this Mac.
If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, open the Mac App Store and download Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
Please help a new macbook pro user/old vinyl junkie..?
Hi,
i am a dj/vinyl junkie and used to use Audacity to record my mixes from my technics turntables onto my pc, but now that i am a mac user i just wanted to know if anybody could recommend a similar app (free or to purchase) that would enable me to do the same thing..
I am using a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface and i have Ableton Lite as well until i buy Logic 9 or even Logic 10 if and when it arrives...?
...many thanks,
SjS2. How do I take care of it to prolong life?
4. What are the things that I should not do on my MBP or with my MBP?
To be honest you don't really need to. This is a great thing about Macs. You can use it without paying attention to this and it will still last longer than a Windows PC that you treated like a baby.
I use my computers (Windows and Mac) very heavily (12+ hours per day) for heavy use, and they are treated roughly. The Windows computers, under this treatment, used to last under a year (cast falling apart, mouse buttons fall off, screen comes loose etc) however my MacBook Pro for example is still in perfect condition after about 1 and a half years now.
3. What apps do I need to install for a somewhat generic user like me?
iWork is good, it is like Microsoft Office and costs a lot less. It is also Office compatible. If you have Microsoft Office then it is probably not needed though. -
New MacBook Pro User -How to set up Dictation Function
Hello. I have just purchased my first MacBook Pro. After many years using a Windows PC, I have finally jumped over to the Mac side. Please bear with me as I am a new user and I am in the process of slowly setting up and learning this new MacBook. I have upgraded the OS to Mac OS X Version 10.7.4 which I believe is Mountain Lion. Now, I am attempting to enable the Dictation function with no luck. When I click on System Preferences, I want to select 'Speech and Dictation' from within the System functions, however, all I see is a 'Speech' widget which shows a microphone icon. If I click on the 'Speech' icon, it opens into 'Speech Recognition' and 'Text to Speech'. There is no 'Dictation' function listed. It seems that no matter what I try, I can't get this to work. I tried using it with TextEdit but had no luck. I believe it is enabled by pressing the Fn key twice. I anyone can maybe walk me through this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
TonyI was able to download & install Mountain Lion and everything looks ok. I did run across one slight issue. It seems that with the Mountain Lion installation, the Dock is now sitting lower on the bottom of the screen. As a result, the blue active icon indicators do not show up on the screen. I haven't changed the screen resolution so I don't understand why this happened. Not a big deal, just an annoyance.
Thanks again,
Tony -
Sampled Sounds "Not Found" After Move to New MacBook Pro
Hello All,
I moved my Logic 9.7.1 from my old MacBook Pro to my new one via Migration assistant; both are running Lion. A smooth transition in all programs with all files showing in the same folders on both. I key in both my Logic 8 and Logic 9 serial numbers.
The problem is when I use certain software instrument patches on my new Mac and I get a prompt saying the audio file can't be found. I click the "search again" tab and keep getting the same meaasage. My only option is to click "continue" the channel strip loads but there is no audio. This seems to be totally random; most sounds load but i would say about 10% don't.
I go to Library>application support>logic>sampler Instruments> and the files are there! I manually place a copy in my project inside the sampler instruments folder but it still does not see it. I notice that it does not make a folder for it in the samples folder of my project. All the sounds that work have a folder in the samples folder.
It's frustrating. I can see the file but Logic can't find it...........What shall I do?
Jimmy MaddoxHi Jimmy,
I found I had the same problem going from a 2006 iMac to a new Mac Mini (I had used Migration Assistant and pulled all the files from a Time Machine backup - this was Mo/Tu this week).
I went back to the old iMac and found the bulk of missing samples in (something like) Library>application support>Garageband>...Sampler?Samples? (I will check the details and be more specific later today (currently on a work's Mac with no iLife). Anyhow, the key thing is 13+gigs of samples where held under that folder structure & not under Logic. I checked this am and everything is now working fine (the first time I changed patches on the ESX24 there was a 2 mins or so delay (spinning beachball etc) however it then popped up fine & after that switches patches with no extended pause)
I hope that helps,
Best,
David
