If I download Maverick on a 17" macbook pro 3.5 years  old will instill sync with my first generation i-Pad?

If I download Maverick on a 17" Macbook pro i-core 7 thats 3.5 years old Will it still sync with my i-Pad that was purchased on 11/30/2010
with Serial# GB*******Z38?
<Edited by Host>

I am having this EXACT SAME ISSUE.
I had just sent in my MacBook Pro 1,2 for repairs, and Depot replaced my Main Logic Board. Windows and my x1600 worked before the repair. It makes perfect sense that a replacement of the logic board would throw stuff off like this; however, I don't see why this is an error of such a grandeur.
Now, to my dismay, my ATi x1600 doesn't want to work in Windows: It's a driver issue that I, quite franky, feel that Apple doesn't care about. I took it to a 'Genius' Bar, and they told me the usual, « It's Boot Camp, we don't support the drivers. »
The only way to get it to "work" is if I disable all hardware acceleration, thus disabling DirectX: That means no games, no Adobe Premier, and no software that I use for my school.
Pfft, I'm sending my computer back for the 3rd time within two months ... I doubt they're going to do anything ...

    First... Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    See Here  >  OWC RAM  >  http://www.macsales.com
    The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
    Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...

  • My MacBook Pro is three years old and seems to be running slower. Ideas of what to do?

    My MacBook Pro is three years old and seems to be running slower. Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are actually shell commands -- little programs. They’re harmless, but they must be used exactly as given in order to work.
    First and most important, don’t run these commands until you have verified that they’re legitimate. Never execute shell commands from an untrusted source without knowing what they do, or at least that they don’t do anything harmful. I’ve posted these same commands, with minor variations, many times on this site. You should be able to find other discussions in which they were used without ill effects. Do that before proceeding.
    Some of the commands will probably line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address will appear in the output of the above command. Change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Since the Yosemite upgrade on my macbook pro I have not been able to sync with my Nokia Lumia and assume that this is an Apple issue?

    Two immediate questions:
    1. Why is this posted in Servers and Enterprise Software?
    2. What has this to do with Apple Remote Desktop?
    If you have posted incorrectly, then you should try posting this in the proper forum.

  • Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

    Yes, BUT...
    ... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
    Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
    I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

  • My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the available battery time is approximately 3:30. This is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after 3:30 hours of mixed use (email, web surfing, file work) it's done.

    My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the battery life indicated is approximately 3:30; this is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after about 3:30 of mixed use (email, web srfing, file work) it's done. I'm thinking I should be getting better than that; at least twice that number.

    So I am sitting in Nagoya and have plugged in the hotel LAN cable because the WiFi wasn't kicking in and my battery capacity is 6-7 hours! Most other places had a good reliable WiFi which is what I would normally use; I'm thinking the WiFi is a bit of a battery-hog. Stuff you learn.

  • Can't download Mavericks on brand new Macbook Pro 13 Retina

    I've got a brand new Macbook Pro 13 Retina, late 2013. So I meet all needed spec's.
    Then trying to donload using AppStore I get the message:
    We could not complete your purchase
    OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer.
    Anyone?
    Thanx
    /Thomas

    The latest version on the App Store for 10.9 Mavericks is build 13A603.
    I believe that the new rMBPs have their own special build number of 13A2093.
    Opening About this Mac from the Apple menu and clicking on the Version 10.9, will reveal you current build number.
    So the version that you have installed is newer than the current version that is avaliable to download from the App Store. That is why you will be getting the error mesage, as you cannot install a build that is older than the computer came with.
    Once 10.9.1 is released, it will have a build number beginning with 13B. You will be able to download this version to your rMBP from the Purchases tab if you wish and make into the USB installer as it will bring you in line with the standard release that everyone else has.
    Until then, you will only be able to use the Internet Recovery method.

    I have a 4 year old macbook pro and when I turn it on, the screen and fan come on but there is a flashing question mark folder that appears.  Nothing beyond that point....help?

    There is no installed OS or you have a dead hard drive. Start by booting from the original installer disc that came with the computer or an installer disc that has a later version than the original such as a Snow Leopard DVD. Then you can do this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard 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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Overheating/overactive fan on macbook pro (only 1 year old)

    I recently took my macbook pro to an apple store to adress an overheating/overactive fan issue and they told me nothing was wrong with my computer.  However, I am still experiencing major issues with the fan and overheating.  Every time I use my computer, even if its for a few minutes, it gets very hot and the fan sounds like it's about to explode from working so hard.  Any suggestions for an overheating/overactive fan problem on a macbook pro?  Please help.

  • MacBook pro won't shut down only after sync with iTunes?

    MacBook pro stays on blue screen with spinning gear when I try to shut down only if I have synced either an iPhone or iPad with iTunes. If i have not synced with iTunes the shut is ok.
    Any suggestions would be great :)

    I had the same problem and just fixed it.
    What I did:
    - Launch Disk Utility > Select Macintosh HD > Verify Disk
    Let the Verify run until it's done
    - If you are seeing any error try the Repair disk
    It's possible you need to restart (holding cmd+r while restarting)
    - Next I did a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions
    - reboot
    After this the shutdown issue was gone!
    Hope this solves your problem as well.

  • I am trying to sync my iPhone to my new macbook pro and it says that it is synced with another iTunes store which it is... is there any way i don't have to delete my content?

    I am trying to sync my iphone 4s with my new macbook pro and it says that i need to erase the content because i am connected to another itunes store, which i am but i dont know if i want to erase my content.... any sugustions???

    "would it work if i backed up or restored my iphone on my macbook? "
    No.
    "The computer it is synced to is a dell"
    So, copy everything from the Dell to the Mac.
    Your iphone will be erased and the content replaced with the content from the new computer.  You need to amke sure that everything is on the new computer.

  • I can't download mavericks to late 2011 macbook pro???

    im having trouble downloading os x 10.9.1 - can anyone tell me why please?

    What instructions?????
    In the Mac App Store there is an icon for Mavericks, in both the standard store and in the updates area. Just Click on it and the download should start, that is after you type in your Apple ID and password for that Apple ID.
    Depending on your internet speed and how your Mac is connnecting to your router, WiFi or Ethernet, the download can take from 20 minutes to several hours, it is a 5+ GB download.
    Going to need more info on what exactly happen when you click on this link.
