I have a remanufactured model serial number can you help me....

its RM841xxxx the 8 means 2008 i know and the 41 is the week octoberish.
first question is this the date is was remanufactured?
or is this its original birthday so to speak?
if its the date it was RM'd is it for all intents and purposes the same as a new mbp made the same week?
or was the problem fixed and it resold with only the problem item replaced?
and lastly how do i go about finding out the original birthday before it was RM'd?
i think that covers it all. oh history of how i aquired my mbp. i am buyin it off of a friend who bought it for his sound engineering school last october, which fits the 841 but the model identifyer in system profiler is macbookpro 3,1 which i know means its pre-peryn(sp?) that i also found out that all mbps made after feb 2008 were supposed to be peryn(sp?) so my last question is
what cpu is it? (from reading threads is it like santa rosa or montevina or what) im just trying to find the original specs of it whether its originally like say a mid 2007 or actually a late 2008.
im a new mac user and i just want to know everything there is to know about my mbp so i can win arguments with my father who hates macs with a passion coz he is an old vietnam vet whos been in computers since the 70s and the more knowledgeable i am the better i will be. and he knows his stuff been writing programs and things for many years. his biggest thing is finding bugs for windows they have sent him thousands of $ worth of free stuff for his findings. so please help me out if you can. man this was long
thanks

With most MacBooks... if you know the processor speed and the display size... you can track down the specs here:

In your case... a 2.2GHz 15" MacBook Pro would be the following:

So far as your argument with your dad... there isn't anything particularly special about the hardware in the Macs. It's all pretty much standard off the shelf stuff and you can find the same components in most high end PC notebooks. Macs stand out in design... the OS... and of course Apple's outstanding support... Oh... and the community is a bit tighter as well... you won't see the same among people with HP or Lenovo machines.

  • Hello, i have an issue, i am crying to purchase lion and the first doesnt appear the model of my computer, and at the second one doesnt accept the serial number. can you help my whit this problem?

    can you hepl my?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    To download Lion your computer must have OSX 10.6.8 and must have Core Duo 2 Intel.
    Para descargar el león su ordenador debe tener OSX 10.6.8 y debe tener Core Duo 2 Intel
    You can purchase Lion on a USB stick from the Apple Store (more expensive).
    Usted puede comprar el león en un palillo de USB de Apple Store (más costoso)

  • I dropped my ipod on the bus and i dont know where it is and i cant find my serial number can you help me

    ipod 4th generation

    If you mean help finding the serial number, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
    If you mean help finding the iPod itself, then if you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network - probably not likely when you lost it on a bus, but it's not impossible - and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance).
    Regards.

    in the previous version  of Number, the menu table in table options, there is an option that gives me the option: the Return key moves to next cell. I do not see this option in the new number. can you help me please?

    Hi silvano,
    If you use a regular pattern when entering values, press enter (return) after entering the last value in a row. That will take you to the first Body Cell of the next row.
    Start in Cell B2
    1 Tab 2 Tab 3 Enter
    4 Tab 5 Tab 6 Enter
    7 Tab 8 Tab 9 Enter
    Now you are ready to type into B5 .
    Another way that some people find easier is to enter one column at a time
    Start at B2
    1 enter
    4 enter
    7 enter
    etc.
    Now start with C2.
    Use whatever suits your work flow.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    Hello pryan1012,
    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
    I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

  • I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

    I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
    All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

    Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
    You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
    A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
    Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
    As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
    Hope this helps.

    Try to Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).
    If that does not work try Restoring it in iTunes.
    Still no go? You will need to get it serviced.

    Have you deleted your prefs?
    From the Photoshop help files:
    Restore all preferences to default settings
    Do one of the following:
    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings.
    (Mac OS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder, and drag the Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash.
    New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
    If that does not work reinstall.

    REMEMBER PASSWORDS FOR SITES DO NOT WORK -IT´S NOT OPERATIVE
    -Please , can you help me.- Thanks

    Hi,
    Usually Firefox will not save passwords on sites that disallow saving. You could try to use an add-on like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/ LastPass] that has options to override that and other.
    [https://lastpass.com/support_helpcenter.php KB]
    [http://forums.lastpass.com/ Support]
    Before that, as a test you can try to check if it's working here. If not, then you can Reset Firefox and start afresh.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
