How to update MBP, non retina to 10.8.2

Brand new MBP, non retina, and I can't open Iphoto, needs the 10.8.2 update. Current software is 10.8, tried the 10.8.2 update package for the retina MBP and when I try to install I get a message saying my hardware isn't supported. Moved over everything from an old MB with the migration assistant, old MB had 10.8.2.
Any help would be appreciated.

These are the latest uodates.

Power Nap update mid-2012 15" MBP non-Retina

Is there a Power Nap update for the mid-2012 15" MBP (non-Retina) with SSD? The Retina version is not compatible

You hit the nail on the head, only retina mbp and the air support Power nap, something to do with flash etc

What to buy: MBP (non-retina) 2.3ghz or 2.6ghz

hello
i'm going to study architecture this year and I need a new laptop.
I'm not sury what to take:
The MBP (non-retina) 2.3ghz (and upgrade the ram to 8 by myself) or the 2.6ghz?
is the 2.6ghz worth the extra money
Please help me! (i'm sorry for my bad english)

You didn't buy from a good source.
Crucial.com is Micron, they make the memory and it's heavily tested beforehand, so it's top tier RAM they sell, also Apple buys it.
I've upgraded dozens of machines and not once has Crucial RAM failed and required a replacement.
The RAM that one gets from other places is often second tier RAM, so the middle man makes a buck but your more likely to get bad RAM.
And if you shop bargin basement, your almost sure to get crappy RAM.

Update to os x 10.8.5 breaks MBP non-retina - no reboot

I applied the patch from Apple to a MBP 13 non-retina on October 17. Computer required restart. Cannnot restart as screen goes to Apple symbol and timer circle and update progress bar.....update progress bar gets about 25% through and machine turns off

Hi DirtyDirk,
If you are having issues booting past the Apple screen after an update, you may want to try a Safe Boot. If Safe Boot doesn't resolve the issue, you may need to do a Recovery. You may find the following articles helpful:

Could I have purchased an i7 13" MBP non-retina in-store?

Hey everyone!
Back in October, I purchased the 13" non-retina display MBP at my nearest Apple Store. I really wanted to get the higher-end i7 version (as it was listed on the website) but, I wasn't asked if I wanted to configure it to higher specs when I was in-store. At the time, I was only given the option between the retina and non-retina model so I went with the non-retina because it was cheaper but, I found out it only had an i5 processor. Now, I'm kinda stuck with the lowest-end mid-2012 MBP.
So, is configuring a MacBook Pro an online-only thing or could I have configured it in-store?

Hi d,
From everything I've ever read, seen, heard and experienced, you have to do a build-to-order Mac online, so don't beat yourself up.

2.3 vs 2.6 MBP non-retina

Has anyone chosen to pay the extra money for the (slightly) faster new non-retina MBP? Only way to get 1gb video memory, but really bumps the price up. I have no operational reason to get it, but am thinking it would help 'future proof' the MBP. Anyone gone that way, or thinking of it?

MBP non-Retina & Thunderbolt monitors

Considering purchasing the non-retina MBP and was wondering if there were any limitations having one Thunderbolt port over the two that the retina version has.
Can two 27" Thunderbolt displays be connected to the non-retina version as long as I purchase the 1GB video card model? Is there a problem connecting a TB hard drive to this set-up down the road?

You can connect up to two Thunderbolt displays. No issues with connecting a hard drive.

Is there a way to connect 1 external thunderbolt display and 1 external HDMI display to a mid 2012 MBP (non-retina display)?

I've had a 24" Asus HDMI montitor for a while, and just got a 27" Apple thunderbolt display. I was wondering if there was a way to connect both of these to my mid-2012 Macbook Pro (non-retina). I know you can daisy-chain 2 thunderbolt displays, so I tried plugging my Asus into the thunderbolt display (using an HDMI to mini-display port adapter) and it didn't work. Suggestions??

Mini DisplayPort displays and adapters don't work directly with a Thunderbolt display, but will if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort device.

How to stop MBP with Retina from logging out when HDMI plugged in?

When I plug in my TV to the new HDMI out port on the MBP +Retina, the screen turns blue (like it used to on my Mac Air), the resolution changes, but then when the sceen comes back I am at the login screen. Not only am I logged out, but all my apps that were open were crashed (not quit).
Anybody experience this? How do I fix it?
Thanks!
Daniel

You're not alone. For me ther'es no HDMI in use, it happens when it's not connected to anything. At first I had thought it was tied into VLC since it happened consistently there at first, but for the last week it's been happening anytime, no VLC running. I'm trying to track it down as well so while I have no resolution yet, at least you know you're not alone. VERY frustrating since I do a lot of file work and hate it when it does this part way through a 20GB file copy...

Question regarding the IR receiver on the 2012 MBP non retina.

Hello!
I recently purchased a 2012 MBP this month. While cleaning it using a soft cloth, I noticed that there were tiny scratches on the tinted plastic covering the IR receiver. I have never taken my MBP out of my house and has mainly been used on a desk. I was just wondering if anyone also had scratches on the tinted plastic besides the scratches due to normal use.
Thanks!

Does anyone not have an IR receiver on their MBP?

Is it possible to install Lion on a new MBP (non-retina)?

From what I can conclude, there doesn't seem to be any way to install Lion on a brand new MBP with Mountain Lion pre-installed (purchased today). I have the Lion installer but only for a MacPro, so presumably that won't work. Has anyone found a way to do this?

While it's probably unlikely to work, if you can find someone with the same generation MBP that shipped with Lion you can have them install Lion to an empty external drive and you can try booting from that. You will need the specific version of Lion to these system that cannot be downloaded from the App Store and currently must be installed from an Internet Recovery. If you can boot then you should be able to clone that to your internal drive and be on your merry way.
There is a little crossover where systems that shipped with ML will in fact boot Lion depending on when they were actually manufactured. Hopefully yours is one of them.

Non retina 15" MBP will not wake up after sleep following mountain lion upgrade

I have an early 2012 15" 2.2 MBP with the 4gb video card. since upgrading to ML a lengthy sleep renders it unresponsive. it will not wake up and will have to be force shut down, then restarted to use. you can here the hard drive spin up after a long sleep (6-8 hours) but only after you hit the power button. even so it's completely unresponsive until restarted.. i noticed apple released an update for retina MBPs for the same issue. unfortunately they have not released the same update for non retina users yet.

Since you had NO problems before ML upgrade:
Not to side with the tech or you, because upgrading OS can be frustrating (it shouldn't).
It appears that you need to do a reinstall (backup first). Its pretty simple to reinstall, just go to boot drive and reinstall. You'll probably have to reinstall print drivers, other than that it's pretty straight forward.
A couple of things I'd do before and after reinstall is to repair the disk (3 times each) while in the boot drive. Then once completed choose the startup disk in system preferences or at least verify it's the startup disk, then repair permissions. If you add apps or printer drivers repair permissions again.
A major problem for lots of folks updating to a new OS is they don't think about disk health....And that's why it's important to insure everything is in mint condition before upgrading to a new OS. The same reason many choose to do a FRESH install of a new OS, by zeroing out the HDD (or SSD) and then repairing the disk and then installing the new OS (you MUST have a solid backup before doing so).
I always have at least 2 solid backups before doing so, but that's me. 100% of the time I do a fresh install of a new OS.
I have a spare computer I use as a test machine for a week or so by upgrading without fresh install. After figuring out all the possible bugs with the test machine I do a clean install of my other computers and once there stable I do a fresh install of the upgraded one.
Not a lecture on how to do things just my procedure which has served me over the years without any problems.
I have photos, videos, documents, and financial records dating back to 1991 so I must be doing something right.

2012 MBP 15" non retina MAJOR CPU temps!!!

Hey guys. First time Mac user. Actually its my wifes. Bought it for her for christmas.
First thing I did on christmas day was start benchmarking. Installed Vmware and Parallels, started expierement with virtualiztion etc.
System specs
15" MBP non retina
Highres glossy display
i7-3720 @ 2.6ghz
8gb ram
750gb HD
Nvidia 650GT 1024mb Graphics
Im playing around I notice the system get VERY hot. When I say very, I mean hitting 100+ degrees C. Easily surpassing my watercooled desktop machine.
Idle sitting in OSX with nothing running 51-55 degrees, Idling in Parallels 8 (win7 x64) the CPU Die is at 58-60 degrees. Stress testing brings the CPU to 100+ degress easily with fans running at 5000+ rpm.
Even Idling in a game the CPU hits 102 celcius with the GPU running over 90.
Is this normal. If I put this on my lap, my legs are toast.
Have screen shots if needed.

I AM SO HAPPY. I figured out how to fix this!!!!
1. get Temperature Monitor by Bresink
2. get smcFanControl - google it
3. Install them and get smcfancontrol to display the RPM up by your name (top bar)
4. Check your temps with Temp Monitor, mine were about 95 (203 f) celcius when playing Minecraft
5. Click the temperature and RPM sign the smc put on your top bar
6. change Active Setting form DEFAULT to HIGHER RPM
It makes your RPM go to about ~4000, which you still can't hear, but it brought my temps from an average of 95 celcius (203 f) when playing a game to about 57 (135 f). I am not kidding. It is amazing.
Make sure to turn the Active Setting back to DEFAULT after playing your game.
Do this every time you play, it might work the fans harder, but that is better than turning your computer into a heater.

I5 MBP with retina or i7 MBP for iOS development

I'm a beginner iOS developer. I need to upgrade my Mac (mid 2009 model) as it becomes so slow since upgrading to lion and even slower with mountain lion
I'm going to use the new Mac for Xcode and photoshop.
My question here. Shall I buy an i5 MBP with retina display or an i7 MBP (non retina) as both are same price.
The think the only difference (other than the display and is the slim body) is the HDMI port in the retina model and DVD drive in the non-retina model
I live outside the US and my friend is going to buy it for in two weeks and I won't be able to return it if I didn't like it so please choose carefully
Thank you in advance

Doing some additonal web research I found the following site. Using that data, I was able to pull the Geekbench performance results my current MBP (late 2011) and the two MBP's being considered. Below is a cut & paste of the information I compiled in a spreadsheet.
http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
Next question -- does the benchmarks take into account the speed difference of the HDD vs SDD drives? As you can see, there is very minimal performance difference to go non-retina to a retina model. On average a 6.64% performance increase for a 28.60% price increase.
Those percentages might change if the benchmark tests don't include hard drive speeds. But as it stands, if we attribute 6.64% of the costs difference to performance since that is how much increase you get going rMBP vs MBP, then there is an approximate 22% premium (or $220) for the retina display and more compact design (along with all the various changes that go w/ retina -- no user upgradeability, addition of HDMI port, lack of optical drive, firewire and ethernet, etc). If you plan on buying an external super-drive ($79) the premium crawls to near 30% more.

As of 2015: Best SSD for 9,2 Macbook Pro (mid-2012 non Retina)

Hi All, this is my first post in the community, so I apologize ahead of time if it is evident in my query.
I currently purchased a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Non Retina. Model ID: MacBookPro9,2.(i7, 2.9 GHz)
My question is: as of today (April 2015) what is the best SSD available (around 500GB in size) for my specific laptop? I've searched quite a few communities and just around Google and have found numerous options that people swear by and the same options that people swear against. What's been difficult is a lot of the posts were created much earlier on (which is expected for a MBP from 2012). I have read good (and bad) things about Samsung 840, 850 pro, 850 evo; as well as hearing good things about Crucial's M4, Mx100, Mx200. My preference is to spend approximately $200 for a 500GB unless there is clear evidence that I need to splurge on an OWC Mercury Extreme Pro because the Samsung/Crucial drives will just cause me trouble.
If anyone can lead me to the SSD's that Apple themselves use, I would be much appreciative. As of now, I'm not even sure which Controller they utilize (Marvell?) and if they support TRIM. Any information to shed some light on this would be great as a lot of my knowledge has purely been from the articles I've been reading in the past few days.
I know this question has been asked over and over again; but again, I am asking it to try and find the best SSD as of late.
Thanks ahead of time!

"I thought the non Retina MBPs were still connected via a SATA connection. "
That is correct and that is why I was recommending that people buy that 2012 MBP non Retina that Apple was selling until just recently. Having the SATA connection while slower than PCIe allowed you more flexibility in purchasing upgraded drives.
"I currently purchased a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Non Retina"
So you bought one of these? Be aware that if you modify the laptop in any way your warranty will be void unless the work is done by an Apple approved tech if Apple becomes aware of it.
That said you could put a 480 SSD from OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_6G/
That can be had for $229 currently.
I'd be wary of installing a Samsung in there because of problems like this:
Samsung 850 EVO in Early '11 MBP
A lot of people are running that drive just fine but now and then....
I've installed 6 OWC SSDs in various Macs and have had 0 problems and 0 hassles formatting and installing them.
