I have seen reports of people who have replaced the processor - putting a core 2 duo where there was a core cuo - and Lion still will not work. Be cautious about doing this.
Best of luck.
Oh thank you I was unaware of this. Yes please be cautius if you intend to replace your processor.

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  Can I also download it for my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion for my MacBook Pro from the App Store.  I was curious if it is possible to downloand Mountain Lion to my iMac without paying the $19.99 fee again?  Not trying to be a cheapskate, just curious if App Store purchases are universal like iTunes Apps.

    You can re download Mountain Lion for free on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select  Mountain Lion.
    Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

    Nope. Just login to your Mac App store account on your MacBook, under purchased, re-download it. Then, before you install, do this:

  • When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

    When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

    Hi,
    apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
    Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
    Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
    Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
    Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
    And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
    And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
    The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
    Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
    Regards
    Stefan

    My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.

    New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
    If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
    Or
    If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility.

  • Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Hello,
    I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

    You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

  • Free Upgrade To Lion For New MacBook Pro Shipped With Snow Leopard?

  • Cannot load backup onto older MacBook Pro

    I own a early 2008 MacBook Pro and my mom owns a early/late 2011 MacBook Pro. Mine has recently been showing signs of slowing down a little bit and my mom asked if I wanted to switch computers since I will be going back to school and she rarely uses hers. Well we both backed up our computers on the AirPort Time Capsule and wiped our computers. Everything from my 2008 laptop loaded fine onto her 2011 laptop but when she went to load everything from her volume on the AirPort Time Capsule, it cannot find the volume. Is this because all of her files are going onto an older MacBook Pro? Both are updated to the newest software and everything. Anyone have any idea what is going on and how we can "Find" her backup and load it onto the 2008 computer? Thanks!

    Mavericks can have issues. I presume you are attempting to migrate the infomation.
    First mount the TC hard disk on the older computer in finder. You might need to do it manually. ie Go, Connect to server if the computer is having trouble seeing the TC drive at all.
    Then it might not easily find the backup. Please ensure you have ipv6 turned on to link-local.
    You also can have permissions issues. This can become very problematic.
    In the end you may need to manually restore files, by mounting the sparsebundle in finder.
    See Pondini Q17.. but please do read from 14-16 so you understand it.

    Also the stuff on the home page about migrate is important albeit it is not up to Mavericks.

    The largest HDD that can be installed in a MBP has a 1 Tb capacity.  I suggest you go to the OWC website and examine the choices available there.  Any of the 2.5" HDDs will work.  They cater specifically to the Mac market and and have an excellent reputation.
