If i upgrade my macbook pro in maverick os , my hard disk is format or not ?

if i upgrade my macbook pro in maverick os , my hard disk would format or not ?

I'm not sure what you're asking.
Do you mean you're upgrading the MacBook Pro hardware and Mavericks is the current OS or do you mean you're upgrading the OS to Mavericks from, (what?), and asking if the HD needs formatting or something?

  • Can I upgrade to the new MacBook Pro from PowerBook copying the hard disk?

    I have a Power Book G4 17", now I'm going to buy a new MacBook pro 17" and want to transfer the same software (I mean the whole content of my actual HD) to the new MacBook Pro using SuperDuper!
    I want to know if the Intel based MacBook Pro can run the same operating system configured in the PowerBook or I must install first the Mac OSX on the new MacBook pro and then reinstalla manually all the applications/documents?

    Hi Marcello,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    No to both of your questions:
    No, you cannot clone the PPC hard disk to a new Intel disk. The systems are completely different.
    No, you don't have to reinstall all your software manually.
    You have to install Tiger from the install DVD that shipped with that MacBook Pro. You CANNOT use any other install disk, so take care you don't damage it! Once this is done you can transfer all your data, applications and settings from the old computer using the migration assistant in /Applications/Utilities.
    Be aware that there might be problems with applications that are not universal binaries and require Rosetta emulation: Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't boot from hard disk

    I recently applied an open firmware password to our Macbook Pro.
    A co-worker tried to boot via the t-funtion which obviously doesn't work when the open firmware password is active. He forget to contact me so he tried to get it to work using some startup shortcuts. The folowing he had done:
    * starting up while holding shift;
    * starting up while holding command + option + P + R;
    * having the accu out for a while
    * starting up while holding shift and let the Mac on for a night
    It seems that starting up from the Macintosh HD seems somehow blocked. THe system hangs on the Apple grey splashscreen with the loading icon turning.
    I tried the following:
    * Tried resetting PRAM using Option + Command + P + R (didn't hear any chimes);
    * Trying to reset Open Firmware Password using Option + Command + O + F (nothing happens)
    The most promising solution came when holding down the Option key: I got the lock and entered my Open Firmware Password. I was able to boot from the install disc. In the disc utility I verified the hard disk and repaired some permissions. I didn't get error messages. THen I used the startup utility and selected the hard drive as startup disk.
    But when I restart the computer, it still hangs on the splash screen. So for now i've run out of ideas.

    With intel Mac they changed to EFI firmware so a lot has changed. From reading this I think if you can get to install disk utilities then why not uncheck +Require password to change Open Firmware settings+ on Firmware Password Utility and that should free up the troubleshooting steps you list above that are blocked. Reinstall of OSX seems logical to attempt. Sadly without further testing could be hardware issue too, need to contact apple authorized service provider in this eventuality. One thing to bear in mind was whether your co-worker altered the firmware in any way, this might invalidate Apple One-Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare Protection Plan, or other AppleCare agreement.

  • Just upgraded my macbook pro to Mavericks, and I can't open iTunes. I get a message to "uncheck the 'use 32bit' Option". But it is uncheckd anyway!

    I have just "upgraded" to Mavericks and cannot open iTunes. I get a message to uncheck the "Open in 32-bit mode" in the iTunes info window. It it is unchecked anyway. I've tried checking it, then unchecking it - still no go.
    iTunes was working fine until the upgrade.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

  • CS4 Install DVD does not mount on Macbook Pro after Maverick upgrade

    I upgraded a Macbook Pro to Maverick from Snow Leopard. I want to install CS4 but when I put the DVD in the Superdrive, it spins and spins and eventually says that the DVD is blank. I have successfully mounted other DVD's so I don't think it is a drive problem. I have also tried the DVD in a newer model Macbook Pro and it mounts successfully. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem. More important, is there a different method I can use to install CS4?

    I am not saying that the CS4 applications will not work but Adobe has never tested All CS4 applications on MAC Maverick. It might or might not work.

    But yes if that works, its good. I just wanted to keep you updated in case in future if the application gives you any issue with the performance.

    I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    Installation of the new OSX is very heavy hdd load, in addition spotlight reindexes all the files on your computer - it may be a few hours. If in the future will be the same macbook hot, you should contact your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    May be required to clean notebook cooling system.
    You can also install any monitoring utility sensors to your mac  such as Hardware Monitor  and look at the value of the temperature sensors.

    Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

  • Hi, I have a MacBook Pro on Maverick. I recently got squeezed into an iPhoto upgrade, all photos for 2012/13 have gone. It tells me I have 17000

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro on Maverick 10.9.1. I recently got squeezed into an iPhoto upgrade I didn't want to do. When it had finished, all photos for 2012 -2013 had disappeared and instead of it saying I had about 6000 photos, it now thinks there are 17000+ despite there being about half of them missing? And no, I didn't think I would need an upgrade.
    I may have back up these onto a time capsule but the voltage I am getting at the moment (Tanzania) isn't enough to start it up to check. My feeling is that they are still on the nard disk and can be rescued. But how??? Thanks

    To be safe from automatic updates that you do not want, i.e., on a slow network, change your System Preferences for the AppStore.  Disable downloads in the background and automatic install, and leave only security updates enabled, so you do not miss them.

    What exactly did you do, after iPhoto updated? This looks, like you imported your iphoto library instead of upgrading it. If you cannot find the original library, you really should try to restore the library from the backup. How long will it be, until you get to a better power supply?
    Do you keep  your iPhoto library on an external drive or on your system drive?
    Try to search for a file called "Library6.iPhoto". This file is part of any iPhoto Library. To search your entire mac download
    Find Any File , as described here in Old Toad's post:
    Re: Where is my iPhoto Library? It is not in my Pictures folder, and I cannot find it through Finder. Help!

  • How to upgrade my Macbook Pro's Graphic Card?

    I have a Early 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro and it's ***** when I play games.
    Here are the specs:
    - 2.8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
    - 6 GB RAM
    - Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    - OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
    - 750 GB HDD 1333 MHz DDR3
    It lags a lot when I play such an old games such as GTA Vice City (the FPS drops a lot when my mac getting hot) or GTA San Andreas (quite stable). Both of them aren't modded and still original. Is there any way to upgrade my Macbook Pro's graphic card?

    You cannot upgrade the Graphics card on a laptop because everything is built into the logic board. Unfortunately your perticular graphics chip is actually built into the CPU, and is a very low performing chip which would definately make gaming hard.
    Sorry for the bad news.
