I purchased my MacBook Pro in late 2007, just before Leopard was released. I want to upgrade my memory and need to know if DDR2-667 SoDimm PC2-5300 is the correct type.

If you have to wonder which RAM is the correct type, you probably aren't buying from a store that will give you the right RAM. Many stores specify model and vintage of Mac on their website to ensure you get the right RAM. Check my FAQ*:

Apple Logo Stuck While Booting (Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007)

As I have installed Mac OS X 10.7.2, I tried to put it on my computer on the Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007) I tried everything to make it work. It just still shows with a Apple logo with the "beach circle" on it. Once i turn it on, I just know that the software went in but It does not show the screen about it.
Please help if you can.
I want this to work

oo close. but no.
Once you download the recovery disk assistant, doublt click it and it'll open up an installer. This installer will ask you where you want to install the RDAssistant. Make sure you choose your USB drive not your hard drive. Name the usb drive before doing this if it is unclear which is which.
something like "MyUSBdrive" or "LionRecoveryA".
And then proceed to install it on the usb.
Once you have done that you will plug it into the computer that you can't get into and run the usb through that. To get to the usb recovery partition, you'll have to hold option down to get to the drive.
if this doesn't work, go to an apple specialist (apple store) who can assist you directly.

System preferences and the dock isn't set up to start safari. Can't figure out why this is happening. Had reloaded system from scratch and noticed this happening lately.

Remove iAntiVirus, then reboot, see if it's better.

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

Upgraded my macbook pro to mountain lion from snow leopard does this mean i can upgrade my imac as well for the same price? And will it mess it up?

You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

Depending on the year of the MBP, the hard drive may not be considered a user replaceable item...but you can check the available 1 TB drives at good sources such as OWC, http://www.macsales.com they are great to deal with and have on-line videos showing how to do most installation tasks.

My Macbook Pro 15" (late 2007) shuts down unexpectedly

I have started having this problem intermittently over the past month, and it has gotten worse over the past two days.
I am using my Macbook Pro normally (watching Youtube videos or online streams primarily), and it will suddenly either go to sleep or shut down entirely. If it goes to sleep, I can press enter and it will wake up briefly before going back to sleep about 3 seconds later, until eventually it will just shut down on its own. If it shuts down completely, I can press the power button to start it back up, but it will shut down again before even reaching the login screen. I tried going into bootcamp, but it shut down before I could select the Windows partition.
The only thing that has worked so far is resetting the SMC by holding Shift+ctrl+alt+power button for a few seconds while it is off. That lets me start it up for a while, but if I ever start using it for something a bit more demanding (again, Youtube or video streams, for example), it will shut down after probably about 30 min. of use.
I just got back from the Apple store today to get my power adapter and my battery replaced. The power adapter cable connection was exposed, and the computer had been saying to service the battery for a couple of years now. After replacing those, the service battery message went away, but it just started shutting down again. The Apple store MRI diagnostics only showed the battery problem.
One other piece of info is that I hear a click from the left side of the laptop before it shuts down (can't tell if left front or left back).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

MacBook Pro 17" (Late 2007) not starting up after battery calibration (depleted)

Hi, I have spent most of today skimming through the advice given on these forums, but to no avail. I cannot power up my MBP. Since it is Sunday, I will give my best to find every piece of "soft" advice to try before giving up my daily workhorse to the official Apple Support.
Machine specs:
MacBook Pro 17" Hi-Res pre-unibody (2007)
Second battery - original bloated about a year ago (lasted 4 yrs! of continuous use)
SSD primary, HDD secondary drives
6GB om RAM
2.4GHz C2D
MacOS 10.6.8
Logic board replaced a few years back with faulty graphics (re-call).
This is what happened:
I decided to recalibrate my MBP (replaced, non-original NuPower) battery over the weekend.
I'm using my laptop at home and at the office, plugged in mostly. So it was advised to perform this procedure for the sake of a healthy battery.
Dreained it to the state of sleep nd then waited for the sleep light to go off.
A couple of hours passed after that when I returned to my desk and plugged in the adapter.
The LED went on GREEN (weird, I thought, but hoped it just did not pick up the completely drained battery right away).
Let it rest with that state for several hours. LED remained GREEN at all times.
Tha laptop sat still on the desk the whole time...
This is what I tried:
Unplugged, took battery out briefly, replugged - GREEN indicator.
Tried another adapter (60W instead of the original 85W), that adapter showed green as well.
Tried my AC adapter to charge another MacBook - charged fine, AMBER light.
- THIS MEANS the problem is with my MBP unit (incl battery).
Unplugged, took battery out, held the power button for 5secs (SMC reset), reassembled - no improvement
Tried all key-combos, held power button for 10secs
Took the battery out and tried to bott with plugged adapter, this normally works fine, but now nothing - no sound whatsoever
- THIS MEANS the issues is not with the battery, it is with the power management.
Sad thing is, that if it is the motherboard somehow that got damaged by itself, it means the end of this fine and capable machine. It is not worth the investment of a replacement motherboard and buying them from ebay is not a sustainable option
Tomorrow I will swap AC-adapters and batteries with an identical model of a friend. I will let you know.
I expect little you can help me with, but for future reference, the story might prove useful for similar cases. I was upset and surprised mainly because of the timing - not powering up after drained battery during calibration process.

Dreained it to the state of sleep nd then waited for the sleep light to go off.
A couple of hours passed after that when I returned to my desk and plugged in the adapter.
Did you wait 5+ hours? Per article - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7261 "After your computer goes to sleep, turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer."

Problem with Macbook Pro 15 (Late 2007)

What I did is that I tried to install a 500gb threw the macbook. Then suddently, the macbook pro did not wanted to reconize the gb that I put in. I tried all the shortcut keys and none of them work. It only stayed with a Apple Logo with the circle on the bottom spinning. It freezes sometimes. I tried everything, & it still freezing and did all the trick.
Yesturday, It did not decided to turn on. The screen did not want to turn on. The blinking light on the bottom did not want to turn on also. I clicked on the power on but it actually turned on but the screen and the blinking light did not wanted to turn on. I tried on the keyboard, & it did not wanted to turn on the lights. I tried everything my best to get it back working.
Please help me with this problem. Maybe for me I think its the logic board. I'm not sure because once I got it, It was working 100% except for the apple and circle on the bottom spinning.
Thank you for reading and helping,
DaddyCorrupted

You must first prep the new drive then install OS X on it:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Crucial m4 256 GB internal SSD not showing in disk utility on MacBook Pro a1226 (late 2007) 2.4 ghz.

After the original Fujitsu 160gb hd died in my MacBook Pro (model A1226), I was advised at the Mac store to upgrade to a SSD. I installed the crucial m4 256gb internal SSD and powered on MacBook Pro from the Snow Leopard install disk so I could use disk utility to erase and reformat the new SSD.
The problem is the SSD is not showing up in disk utility. I have opened the computer twice and checked cable connections and still no luck. I have powered off computer and let sit for a while and tried again. I check compatability on crucial site before ordering SSD so I don't know what the problem is. Bad disk?

You were given bad advice.
Return/Sell the SSD and buy a 7,200 RPM hard drive instead, it should work fine and a more of a match for your older machine.
Your Mac doesn't have the faster SATA connections for a SSD also 10.6 isn't equipped for SSD's only hard drives, your basically putting a Ferrari engine in a Yugo, it can't handle it.
The 7,200 RPM drive will give you the performance and more drive space than a SSD anyway.
Follow these instructions when you erase and install 10.6, it will give the best results.

Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC. I have LR 4 on disk and LR 5 upgrade on disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro. Also how do I transfer photos?

I'm not very good with computers and need help. My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk. How do I load LR on my new computer? Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?

You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below. If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.

As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum. But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how.
