I bought MacbookPro 15 2.4 ( Mid-2010)

Today I bought my MacbookPro 15, 2.4 ( Mid-2010)..I was so lucky to get it with a good discount ( -200 Euros).In the Apple Store there were some MBP (Early 2011) complaining about them, looking for a solution to get them back...everything I could read in this foro was happening to them....I was not the only one buying the 2010 model, but nobody asking for 2011 models. I hope everthing will be solve in the future.

  • How do I download the Windows Support Software for MacBook Mid-2010 ?

    Hey guys, I've got quite a big problem at the moment... In December, I bought a MacBook7,1 (the Mid-2010 Unibody model) and used my OS X install disc whenever I wanted to install Windows XP/Vista/7 drivers to my Boot Camp partition. However, I've recently got quite a bit of a problem...
    See, I can't find my OS X Install Disc. So I have to use, from within the Boot Camp Assistant, the "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" function, to be able to burn to DVD/install to a USB stick.
    Now, this function up until recently used to work completely fine - no issues at all. However I need to reinstall my Windows 7  (again, I know, Windows has quite a few problems but I really do need to use it for what I do - gaming, etc) again, and whenever I try this option in the last... week, I'd wager, it comes up with "Download could not be continued" and "The Windows Support Software is unavailable" errors.
    I've checked on this forum and some people are saying that Apple removed the support software for some Macintosh computers? What on Earth? What about us lot who don't have our OS X install discs anymore?! I don't think it's fair they've specifically gimped a functionality that was working fine until a bit ago for no apparent reason. It's just... stopped working. Is this for everyone?
    Is there some alternative I can use? I've tried everything. I don't have someone I could just borrow the OS X install disc from and I think it's rather unfair if they expect to me to shell out for an OS X install disc again when I could previously do what I wanted for free!!!

    The point isn't whether I lost them, the point is that I was able to use the Boot Camp Assistant previously fine to download the Win Support Software and put that on a USB stick (which has since been formatted for other usage).
    Since this was made available as an option, I haven't really had much need for the OS X install discs (Unless I really, really needed to reinstall OS X at some point but I have no reason to fear that right?). To claim this being "okay" because I've misplaced the discs is rather outrageous.

  • Upgrade RAM on my MacBook (mid 2010)

    Hi everyone,
    I bought the latest generation MacBook (mid 2010) last year and now I'd like to upgrade my Ram from the defalult 2 GB (2x1GB) to 4GB (2x2GB). My question is: where can I buy my new RAM? The Apple Store is way to expensive....so I decided to buy it somewhere else.
    I live in Italy and I've found this website that sells Mac-compatible RAM....what do you think of this (Kit 4 GB (2x2 GB) RAM SODDR3 1067 per MacBook/Pro Unibody)...? Another option would be buying my new RAM on other websites...such as Crucial or Kingston....what do you think? Is there anyone of you who has already done the upgrade and so can suggest me the best solution?
    Thank you very much in advance to anyone who would like to help me!

    Thank you very much for your reply! Another question: which type of screwdriver do I need? The TORX one?
    If there's someone else who wants to add his experience in upgrading RAM, please reply to my post!

  • How can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    how can i fix my mac book pro i bought in mid 2010, it is slowing down. the pin wheel does spin a alot.

    try this;
    open disk utility - verify disk permissions - repair disk permissions if errors are found.  might take an hour or less - depending on how much errors needs to be repaired.
    restart your macbook and see if that sorts it out for you.
    also check your hard drive space.  if your hard drive is almost full, that will also contribute to your macbook getting slower....
    good luck

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.
    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Lion Communities
    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

    Turn the Mac on (or reboot it) and press command-option-R as soon as you hear the startup chime. Hold the keys down until you see a globe, then release. When the Recovery Menu appears you choose Disk Utility and format the SSD for use in a Mac (Erase>Set Format to MacOS Extended (Journaled), then exit Disk Utility and choose Install OSX
    You will need to be connected to the Internet and your Mac should detect your network and ask for a password automatically when Recovery Starts.

    Hi ..
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    You can purchase an iTunes gift card which can be redeemed and used to purchase Lion.
    Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store
    Gift cards can be redeemed by clicking Redeem under Quick Links right side of the App Store window.
    Read BEFORE upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X version 10.6.4
    You need to update your system software before you can download Lion.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update ...
    When purchasing apps from the App Store including Lion, take into account the total purchase price may include any applicable taxes and fees.

  • Hello,  since the last update 10.6.8, my MacBookPro mid 2010 randomly loses the connection with my wifi AppleTV2

    Thanks you rbrian, it seems that your solution is good because after some tests it works very well

  • Do I really need to keep all the preloaded apps that came with my MacbookPro 13'' mid 2010

    Do I really need to keep all the preloaded apps that came with my MacbookPro 13'' mid 2010? Which one are necessary to keep from your experience. Thanks

    Lots of apps are preloaded on a new MBP. Tell us which ones you don't think you need, and we'll tell you whether you can safely get rid of them.
    However,  the total space used on your hard drive by all the apps that are preinstalled is very small, and if there's any chance at all that you may eventually want to use them, you might as well keep them handy.
    By way of example, my own Applications folder contains everything that came from the factory preinstalled in it, plus 2.5 years of subsequent additions totalling 196 applications of all kinds and sizes. Still, it only occupies 12.5GB of my 500GB hard drive.

  • MacBookPro mid-2010 setting up WiFi connection takes more than 5 seconds

    When I open the lid of my MacBookPro (mid-2010), it sets up the WiFi connection. This takes about five seconds. If I unlock my iPad, the connection is there almost immediately. Is there a way to speed up the MacBookPro, setting up the WiFi connection?
    Still running Snow Leopard, not Lion.

    Have a cup of coffee while you wait the five seconds.

  • Hi i recently bought 8gb of ram and installed it in my mid 2010 13' macbook pro, but whenever i start my computer it freezes at the apple sign in the startup. I just put back my default 4gb of ram back into my computer and it runs fine. Any suggestions?

    jamiesfromportland, greetings:  I do not take issue with your very valid reasons for purchasing RAM from Apple.  However by recommending not to purchase RAM from third party vendors I would suggest is unfounded advice.  Most of the problems that occur with third party RAM are attributable to the lack of adherence to the required specifications, viz. this post.
    I would be willing to wager that purchasing RAM from reputable vendors such as OWC or Crucial one would find similar fail/success ratios as those purchased from Apple.  In both cases this assumes that the specifications are adhered to.
    I have always purchased RAM upgrades from third party vendors with no performance issues.  True that I do so to save money but I do not skimp on quality.
    Ciao.

  • Mac Book Pro mid 2010, bought the Mountain Lion but not included with iPhoto?

    My friend bought the mountain lion yesterday, but iphoto and photostream not included in package?(model, mid 2010) Need to buy separate? If this so, why mine(model june 2012) just upgraded, have iPhoto with it?Any help will be appreciated

    Do you still have the install discs from your original 2009 computer? It comes with two discs, the applications and the OS X install disc. You need the applications disc that has the installer. I used those on mine, then manually upgraded the 9.0 to 9.1, then 9.3.2.
    9.1 update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1322
    9.3.2 update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1562
    Some people lost their discs in the past, and have ventured to talk to the Apple store. May be worth trying if you cannot find the discs. No guarantee of help though.

  • Trouble booting MacBookPro (13" mid 2010) after upgrading ram?

    My MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010 will not boot after upgrading the ram. I just upgraded to mountain lion a week ago. I also upgraded my hard drive a month ago. I reverted back to the stock ram and it booted fine. But when I use the new Crucial 8GB (2x4GB DDR3_1333 PC3 10600 SODIMM 204 pin) ram kit, it just hangs in the white boot up screen, while the little grey refreshing dashmark circle is going around. Any ideas of how to get it to boot with the ram I have? Or could it just be faulty ram that I need to get a refund on?
    Thanks

    Your Mac actually is supposed to use 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Sometimes faster modules will work, sometimes they won't. In your case it looks as if the faster RAM isn't working. Crucial should exchange it for your without any problems. You their System Scanner tab at Crucial and find out what memory is 'right' for your Mac and swap what you have for that.

  • Will this mid-2010 MacBookPro i7 recognize two 8 GB RAM strips ?

    THIS MODEL:  http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.66 -aluminum-15-mid-2010-unibody-specs.html
    Officially 8GB is maximum, but at about the time this model was released, many users found that TWO  8GB strips could be installed, recognized, and used.

    I believe that this still prevails regarding 2010 MBP RAM:
