If I have a 2010 mac if I were to add memory let's say made in 2012 would that affect the mac?

(My macbook pro is a mid 2010)
I am wondering if it would recognize the Memory strip. I know that Apple does not support anything above 8 gigs, but I heard that it still works. I am not familiar with hardware (but I love software). Thanks

The memory has to match what the machine is looking for as far as speed, latency, and a number of other things. You can't just stick anything in there. I know what you're referring to, I have the same model and I've seen the same articles. If you're determined to try, go to Crucial.com and look up what they say you should have as a max, then see if you can find those same specs for 16 gig.

I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

The software that comes with your refurbished Mini should be identical to that which comes with a new Mini. Disk Utility should be in Applications > Utilities. Alternatively, choosing Utilities from the Go menu at the top of the finder windownwill take you directly to the Utilities folder.

I have a 2010 mac book pro and track pad is not working well, is there a problem with that year?

All recent versions of Mac OS X use bash, so avoiding Mavericks won't help you with that problem (which isn't a problem for most users).
iWeb is another matter. My advise: migrate your website to Wordpress first and start thinking about upgrades later.

Since I have upgraded from 7.1 then the power consumption increased slightly unbelievable. I have new batteries in my iphone 5 and when I had at ios 7 so was consumption that allows the battery envelope in two days and with ios 7.1 so is it only 12 hours before I need to recharge the battery.

The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.

You can Purchase iPhoto in the Apps Store...

I have a 2010 Mac Book Pro with OS 10.7.5. How do I upgrade to 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?

I have a 15" Mac Book Pro purchased new in 2010. I'm currently on 10.7.5 and would like to upgrade to 10.8, which I think is Mountain Lion. Am I correct? and how do I do that? I can only find info on upgrade to Mavericks.
I have been advised by my local Authorized Apple Repair tech that I should not upgrade to Mavericks until I complete the migration of my HUGE website from iWeb to another software (wordpress). He tells me Mavericks doesn't work well with iWeb because that software is going away.
I'm also concerned about the news about the problem with the shell called Bash and want to protect my laptop by getting any fix for that problem.

I have a 2010 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard (10.6) how do I update?

I want to update my 2010 MM running 10.6.8 to something new. How do I do it?

Open the Mac App Store and download Yosemite. If you don't want to upgrade all the way, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; the online Apple Store also sells download codes for Mountain Lion 10.8.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

My imessage quit working. We have done complete resets and even started a new itunes account but still nothing. Also noticing that under the send

My imessage suddenly quit working. We have done resets and restored it and still nothing. Even created a new Apple ID but have noticed that in the send & received part of settings, it does not show my phone number, only my email address!! Never had a problem before today!

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

I have a 2010 mac book pro and when i go to do apple updates instead of it updating and installing it just logs me out of my user and never updates?

i want to know how to fix this

Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "System Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

I need to upgrade itunes and have 120 gb free space, however, when I go to install it says I'm out of space. The files are only 42 mb. What am I missing?

You Hard Drive might be framented or have bad sectors. Use Windows utility to deframent the drive and Scan Disk for file allocation errors or bad sectors.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I don't know how you got my sailsalot name from my Skype account but I signed in with you as "gags76" and got help with my new ipad. I discovered I used a different Apple id and password on my ipad from my computer (imac) and changed that. My e-mail is Could you email me if there is something I should do at my end. I have to use itunes to sync with my ipad so I have been going back and forth between the two. Should I sign in with my proper Apple id on my ipad?
Yes

TS2776 I have reinstalled iTunes and it recognises my playlists but I am unable to sync my ipod so that all the content shows on my desktop iTunes...can you help?

Hi....Cannot sync my ipod to my iTunes after reinstalling software

Syncing an iDevice does not cause media to appear on the computer.
iDevices are not backup devices.
All of the media should already be on the computer.

HT4759 I have a iPhone and iPad can't use my iPad as it says not enough storage and that the iPad can't be backed up and I can't get use my iPad but all messages and notifications r showing but can't get into them what should I do?

Got new iPad 4 a week ago and it's saying not enough storage and when I go to tap on settings nothing is happening and I won't switch off!

If your device is frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
