Having problem running Lightroom 5 with my MacBook Pro

A salesperson from Bestbuy told me if I get a macbook Pro 13" with 2.5Ghz i5 and 4 GB RAM, I would be able to use Lightroom 5. I used the trial version, but it was slow on my Mac. Does that mean I need to upgrade my RAM?

Hello! Did you solve the problem? I tried it all, new cable, Apple Store, downloaded what was recommended here: Lion 10.7.2 upgrade and HDMI video issue 
...nothing worked. I am frustrated ... My Mac book 2009 didnt have these issues.

  • I'm having problems printing from my 15" macbook pro to my HP wireless printer. It works sometimes but not reliably, it can spend hours "seating for printer". I can print from my i pad with no problems

    Hi,
    Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
    Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
    AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
    As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

    There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

  • Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?

    You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
    That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
    Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
    Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
    I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked.

  • Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Yes, BUT...
    ... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
    Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
    I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

  • I am having problems rebooting my mid 2009 macbook pro (grey screen other issues), need help!

    I am having problems rebooting, I have experienced the same problem as others with the grey screen but my case is a little different, It started with my mid 2009 macbook pro acting a little slower than normal, the screen would freeze, mouse wouldnt move and i'd be forced to "force reboot" this went on for a couple of days until i was tinkering with the wifi connection and it froze again. I had to reboot and this time i noticed that it took a long time to get to the login screen. i put in my password and it went into infinite load (i also tried the guest account and other accounts with same result). i tried rebooting again and the same thing would happen. after several reboots, the screen just stayed grey, sometimes with the apple logo and gear sometimes without it. Since its a 2009, (and for the most part, still works like a champ) i decided test the ram, i took one stick of ram out at a time to see if i could notice anything wrong with them. when i stuck just one in, the mac was still having the same problem rebooting. i pulled that ram and and stuck in the other and i noticed that this time the apple logo never appeard and a big crossed out circle appeared. figuring that the ram must be the problem, i ordered new ram and installed it. i noticed that when i rebooted for the first time with the new ram it was rather quick and took me straight to the login screen and i was able to log in with no problem. at this point i thought the problem was solved, but i noticed the macbook still acting funny. at first, none of my files appeared on my desktop or in the finder window. after about 20 minutes, everything magically popped up. i also noticed long pauses/freezes with the colored pin wheel spinnig. i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen just stayed black. i tried rebooting again, and again i got the grey screen with no signs of being able to log in... i waited about 20 minutes and tried to reboot again and again i was able to log in, however the macbook is still acting slow and will freeze with no signs of unfreezing without a reboot.
    my macbook is 5 years old and has plenty of miles on it, so i understand if the thing needs to be replaced alltogether but does anyone know what could be the issue? could the bad ram have corrupted the hard drive in anyway? would re-installing the OS fix it?? and if so, how would i do that if i downloaded mavericks from the app store? are there any other solutions to this problem?
    all my files and what not are backed up on an external HD so theres nothing on it that i'd miss desperately if i had to whipe the hard drive but id really like to get her working again without any whiping of the HD. if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

  • Green-Pink horizontal lines, Graphic problem, late 2011 with my Macbook pro

    I have late 2011 Mac book pro model (bought from USA - living ın Turkey) Last 2 months I have problem with graphics, I try to reinstall and reboot my machine but it didnt work. Generally It is happening when I am trying to use Adobe programs, so I am thinking problem might happening because of heating problem maybe. But I download fan temprature and it seems fine (even I feel so hot )
    My screen is going like this http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img26/9898/screenshot20130201at758.png (image taken from forum) sometimes with pink-green vertical lines. Then I am trying to restarting, after a few trying It seems normal again. I read lots of complains about this in the forums and sites, my warrent is finished, so I am really worried about fixing prices ... There is no any card replacement program Call from Apple yet, right? Doı you think they can accept their faults...

    You likely have the problem as discussed here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0. It affects 15" and 17" 2011 models. Take a look at the thread and see if you've similar symptoms.
    If that long, long thread seems to be addressing your concerns, then you've one of two choices to make: 1) take the machine into Apple and have them replace the logic board, or 2) have your GPU BGA reballed.
    Good luck,

  • Problems with Yosemite macbook pro and airdrop

    I have many problems of comunication with my macbook pro my13 and iphone 6 when i used airdrop for sending file from iphone to mac. In the iphone i do not see the mac icon bat in mac i see the iphone. i can send only from mac to iphone .
    Thanks a lot

    If i had to guess, I would say prosessor stress is to blame.  When you are running a virtual machine, it borrows resources from the host to run the guest OS.  The CPU, however, is prioritized Host first, then guest second.  With a 27" display connected via Display Port. that is a larger strain on the processor.   Honestly, on my 23" iMac, I see a WORLD of difference between the speed of the host and the speed of the guest.  That is just something you live with on virtual machines, nothing compares to hardware.     I'm sorry I dont have a better answer, but that is all I have.

    Do you have Parallels installed by any chance?  There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this.  You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels.  An update corrects the problem:

  • After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    How crap is that?
    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.
