Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2007, will upgrading to Yosemite slow me down or create problems with my Iphone or other app ?

Yes, i do not suggest upgrading right now. There is some software malfunction or glitch that spontaneously shuts down this specific model. I upgraded and it was a pain to downgrade and make my mac usable again.

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

I have a MacBook Pro that has an Intel Core Duo Processor but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade?

I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8 but want to upgrade to Lion. My Mac that has an Intel Core Duo Processor (I know really outdated huh) but to upgrade to Lion OS X I need an Intel Core2 Duo. Can I upgrade or will it mess it up?

It actually shouldn't allow you to upgrade. Your configuration should be detected and then it should reject your attempt to upgrade.

Will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?, will multi touch gestures work on my macbook pro (2.2 Ghz, Intel Core Duo)?

I have a macbook pro, purchased late 2006... I can scroll with 2 fingers so I'm wondering if it will support the multi touch gestures before I purchase OS X Lion?
Thanks!

Probably Not. Im sorry.
The new macs have a different kind of trackpad that is more sensitive to touch. And Apple doesn't make new stuff for old macs because most people have a new mac and because the old hardware is not fast enough to run it. Im sorry.
Hope this helps.

Problem with 2010 Macbook Pro 13'' 2.4GHZ Intel Core Duo 4GB RAM

Hi everyone, i use a 13'' macbook pro for work, and it has been flickering from time to time (a lot), everytime i go to the dock, especially when im using Pages 09. I recorded a video of it on youtube. Can you please help me to see if this is normal, or should i talk here at work for them to get it fixed or exchanged. Thanks
Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=jzhogjq3e4U&eurl=http% 3A%2F%2F
Also, from time to time, the macbook pro freezes, and it just sits there, i cant use the trackpad, keys, nothing... it doesnt even respond to closing and opening the lid, i always have to hard-restart/reset it.
It has already happened like 4 or 5 times since i got it (about 3 months).
Just wanted to add that up.

Talk to whom ever you need to to get it fixed.

My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

I have a Macbook pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 (2011). Will Lion, Mountain Lion or Marverick makes it run faster or slower?

Snow Leopard is still the most efficient OSX from Apple. I have a late 2011 MBP running Lion with no performance issues.
I suggest the following; Install 8 GB RAM if you do not have that already. (The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial). The newer OSX's are trifle more RAM hungry.
Partition your HDD and install one of the newer OSX's in the new partition and try it out. This allows you to 'retreat' to Snow Leoprad if you find the newer OSX is not to your liking.
Also note that the newer OSX's do not support PPC applications. That means that there is a possibility that some of your current applications will not work and may have to be updated or replaced.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro 15 2.8ghz Intel Core Duo 2 and Sony Bravia KDL-46NX800

Hello,
I now have a Monoprice HDMI to Mini Displayport. I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro 15 to my new recently bought Sony Bravia 46'. I also have SwitchResX on my mbp.
Anyway, it's not working at all. The Sony is not detecting my MBP.
I fiddle with SwitchResX and nothing works. I look everywhere for my TV's specific EDID profiles. No luck.
Anyone out there care to help me out, please.

The other way around is the same. I tried "detect display", nothing happens. Nothing showing another display at all.
If it was a defective cable then I would NOT get a replacement because I just don't want the hassle of working on it and the problem will be the same.
Most likely to mail it back to get cash back.
Umm, to add, I am running 10.6.4 and have NOT yet upgrade it to 10.6.5. I still don't think that'll solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Buying the Macbook pro 2.0 Ghz intel core duo

Hi!
Im in the process of buying a portable mac and I have set my eyes on the above mentioned computer (due to a very attractive offer BTW). Allthough my trusty iMac DV (from 2000!) still works perfectly, the need of a portable has emerged.
So the question is: pros and cons? Fan issues? (I rember that beeing an issue on som of the recent powerbook models)Other "known" problems?
What about the Macbook as an option?
Best regards and thank you for any and all input,
Per
iMac DV G3 400 mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)
iMac DV G3 400 mhz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Mine works fine. Very fast, nice display, loads of great extras like the luminous keyboard and iSight camera, and not too bulky to carry round. To be aware of: Macbook Pros cannot run OS9 software. Macbook Pros run software designed for PowerPC processors only more slowly than previous G4 computers, however universal binaries run much, much faster. Macbook Pros have been known to have certain issues including a processor whine and "mooing" fans. The whine is normal and is the sound made by processor throttling to save power. The whine can be removed but this reduces battery life. Newer Macbook Pros tend not to suffer from mooing fans, it was more a feature of early models, however it still pays to be aware of it. Macbook Pros run very hot due to the Core Duo processor, but this is completely normal and there is no risk of this damaging the computer.
As for the Macbook, this suffers from the same problems mentioned with the Macbook pro. The main difference between the two is the lack of a dedicated graphics card in the macbook. So, if you play a lot of games or do a lot of 3D or graphical design work, go with the Pro. Otherwise, buy a macbook, its much easier on the wallet and features the same processor.

I have iPhone 4S 16GB using v. 6.1.3 & Macbook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo OS 10.6.8

Today I added a new entry in my Address Book on Macbook and also edited an entry on my iPhone Contacts. I have tried syncing several times and neither is updating on the other device. Makes me wonder how many other entries are not synced. Any ideas?

Sorry, I did not make myself clear. I am asking for help with the problem of unsuccessful syncing. In the past (after I finished syncing) the Contacts on my iPhone were identical to the entries in Address Book on my Macbook. Yesterday I discovered some entries that did not succdessfully sync. I am asking for help with this problem.

I have a macbook pro 4GB Ram, 2GHz Intel Core 7 processor and all the time since few months ago is like running for 2 sec. and stuck for another 2 sec.

I already tried to fix it by opening just a few windows but is not that. And is killing me because anything I want to do is just like the machine responds now, now not, now yes, now not. Sometimes is ok, just like now but really isn't much time. I can't even watch a movie on itunes, not even in youtube, it lasts up to 3-4 minutes to load.

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

(macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo 2010 13" aluminum with 8gb of memory and a 250gb hard drive running version 10.6.8 with safari 5.1.4) Safari will open up intermittently on its own.

System preferences and the dock isn't set up to start safari. Can't figure out why this is happening. Had reloaded system from scratch and noticed this happening lately.

Remove iAntiVirus, then reboot, see if it's better.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
