I have a mid 2009 13" Mac Book Pro. I want to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4 GB. Can I use 1333 MHZ modules instead of 1067 MHz?
The manual suggests 1067 MHz modules but my dealer stocks only 1333 MHz modules. Can I use two modules of 2GB 1333 MHz in place of the present two modules of 1GB 1067 MHz.
I wonder if perhaps the new ram isn't exactly right for the computer? When you install a 2gb and one of the 4gb and go to Apple-About This Mac does it show up as 2gb or 6gb? Just thinking perhaps the computer can't read the 4gb cards at all, so as long as one of your old 2gb cards is there to function it doesn't freeze (seems like an odd concept but I've seen it happen in PC years ago, so not sure if it's even possible with current hardware or Mac but it's a thought).
Also, double-check the sticker on your new Ram to be sure it works with your system (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270) thinking maybe even if you bought the correct package in the store, maybe it contained the wrong product? You didn't say what screen size you have, but it looks as though they are all the same specs (13, 15, and 17-inch MBP mid-2010):
- Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3) format
-30mm (1.18 inch)
- 2 GB or 4 GB
- 204-pin
- PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM
I did a quick search and found this thread, same issue, so perhaps it may contain some clues as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3797144?start=0&tstart=0 I noticed someone mentioned the brand or source of the purchased ram; I have personally had issues with third party or "other than what the manufacturer recommends" brands of memory over the years. I bought mine from Amazon.com but made sure it was Crucial brand, which I've always had high success with.

I have photoshop cc and a mac book pro. I cannot access my photos from photoshop. I can go to iPhoto and click edit to edit them in photoshop, but photoshop won't open them. I want to do a collage, so I need to get to more than one photo.
See if exporting them helps:

Mid 2008 17" Mac book pro PLEASE HELP
I have a mid 2008 17" Mac book pro and the display won't turn on it appears to have a problem with the video card since this is out of my hand and I had nothing to do with it what should I do the computer is out of warranty already
Have you considered taking the MacBook Pro to the Apple store for an assessment of what it would take to fix? It could be a screen failure or a video circuit issue.
If you have a monitor or display handy, you could try hooking it up to your MBP to see if it will display anything. -
I have a Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA and I want to upgrade the RAM - which can I use?
I want to upgrade the RAM from 1 gig to 2gig on my Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA - the question is which ram can I use? I was told my HP the ram was DDR2 800mhz. Now I have seen this :
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148162
At Newegg in Canada. This looks like it fits the bill, but I don't want to buy it and have it shipped and find out differently. Anyone know if this is a good route to go? It is cheap and it is Crucial, so at least it is reliable.
Thanks in advance.Yes, that is the correct information you have...You will need DDR2 800 MHz PC2-6400 Memory...I have never used or heard about Crucial, I would suggest going for kingstron or corair and I am kind of 50/50 when it comes to A-DATA...This based on listed on newegg.ca
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?
Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

I have a issue with my mac book pro. For some reason it won't stay powered on. I can't get past the apple loading logo. The battery is fully charged so it is not the problem. Can anyone tell me what the problem may be and how can i get it resolved?

Hello, I have a problem with my mac book pro after running the battery dead on a game. The display has shrunk leaving two black margins on either side. What to do ?
Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards
BrianWelcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 -

Recovering Disk Space
If you have less than 10 GB you definitely need to delete or offload some files or purchase a lager disk or SSD (see below). You may want to maintain at least 20 GB of free space so when your disk starts filling again it will have some room before it hits that 10 GB mark again. More headroom is better. If you let the space fall much below 9 GB you might not be able to boot your machine.
Initial easy steps to gain disk space:
- Delete all files in the Downloads folder.
Empty the Trash.
- Start iPhoto.
Empty its trash.
Restart.
- Restart in Safe Mode:
Restart the computer.
As soon as you hear the chime press and hold the right shift key.
Be patient. Hold it down until you see the Apple icon.
Empty the trash.
Restart in normal mode.
- Delete "Recovered Messages", if any.
Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select "Library" from the drop down menu.
Library > Mail > V2 > Mailboxes
Delete "Recovered Messages", if any.
- Empty the Trash.
- Restart.
- Re-index your system disk (Macintosh HD):
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
Additional reference on freeing disk space:
http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
How much disk space is available now?
Normally you should backup before proceeding to delete other files but at this point it may not be possible. Having taken the steps above will the backup compete now? If not, stop, post back, for emergency data protection procedures and/or how to free more disk space.
