Is it possible to use recovery dvd from Macbook Pro 15 Core Duo on Macbook?

I lost my recovery DVD for my macbook, I can get a set for the Macbook Pro Core Duo from my friend. Is it possible to use it on the macbook or do I have to call Applecare to get the replacement dvds?
Thanks,

Apple recovery disks only hae the drivers for the model that they were designed to be used with. There are also system checks in place that may prevent it from even being attempted.
The best thing is to either contact Apple or look for someone who is selling a legitimate MacBook recovery CD set.

  • My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    Your MacBook can not be upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the highest possible for that model.

  • Some possible good news for MacBook Pro Core Duo owners....

    All,
    I believe I am now running 2.4GHz 802.11N on my MacBook Pro Core Duo.
    I have a Belkin F5D8071 ExpressCard installed.
    I also have the new Airport Extreme.
    Before I got the AE, I tried to run the 802.11N enabler with the Belkin card installed. No go. The enabler said my hardware didn't meet the minimum requirements.
    But, I received my AE yesterday and installed the Airport Utility on the MacBookPro while the Belkin card was plugged into the ExpressCard slot.
    As I was watching the installation, I noticed that the enabler installed!!!
    So I switched the AE to N only 2.4GHz (Belkin support has no mention of support for 5GHz N for the F5D8071). And my MBP joined the network!
    So I investigated some more. I opened Network Utility and it said my link speed was now 144Mbps. And the MAC address began with 00 17 3F. That is registered to Belkin. The Belkin card was active! But I saw no power light on the Belkin card. So I went into IORegistryExplorer and found the entry for the ExpressCard, it said the IOVendor was Apple. So what I THINK is happening is the Apple Driver is now recognizing the Belkin card and the driver just doesn't know how to drive the lights on the card. But it does recognize the chipset on the Belkin card. Which Belkin says the chip is made by Airgo.
    I ran a quick speed test by copying a 1GB file from a wired PowerBook to the MBP. It only took 12 minutes to copy!!! Sweet!!! I have "N" speeds on a Core Duo MacBook Pro.
    Now one limitation is the Belkin card does not support 5GHz. But there is hope for CD MPB owners. Hope this helps others.

    I have a February (very early) MacBook Pro Duo. I bought the Belkin F5D8071 card, plugged it in and installed the Airport Extreme software including the system 802.11N enabler. I set the AE to the 802.11N only mode and it does not work! Any suggestions? I would think that Belkin will eventually come out with their own soft ware patch for OSX. Thanks.

  • Re: Is it possible to use recovery partition from 2nd drive?

    Hello everyone,
    My question is as the title states. Basically I am planning to install a SSD as primary drive and use my original Toshiba drive as secondary drive from ODD drive with an adapter. My concern is will I be able to use the recovery partition of the second drive and if I ever need to go back to out-of-box state will it format and install everything on my SSD or the original HDD?
    Btw my laptop is L755-1DR.
    Thanks,
    DJ_TLG

    I cannot say for sure but Im 99,9999% sure this will not work. When you change hardware platform (SSD and HDD) HDD recovery wizard will not be able to find recovery image due to missing specific markers.
    Create recovery DVD disc and problem is solved. Of course do it with original notebook hardware configuration and factory settings.

  • Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?, Is it possible for me to upgrade from an intel core duo processor to an intel i5 core processor?

    Hey guys, please help me out. I am an owner of a MacBook Pro with software 10.6.8 and I have a 2 GHz intel core duo processor, and I was wondering, if it is possible for me to upgrade to an i5 intel core processor, so I can install mavericks to my MacBook Pro.

    There is no way to plug in a different processor on your older MacBook. Processors have been soldered in for quite a long time.
    The only known method is to convert your MacBook to Cash (by selling it) and use the cash to buy a MacBook that better meets your needs.

  • Recovery dvd from Lenovo

    How much does a recovery dvd from Lenovo cost and is it different from dvds made thru One Key Recovery? Alos, How do I reinstall windows on a laptop with RapidDrive? thanks

    Hi,
    Here is a partial answer to your questions, and it is based upon my experiences of about 2 years ago. 
    My R500 Thinkpad came with a 32 bit version of Windows 7 professional, and I wanted to upgrade to 64 bit, so I ordered the 64 bit recovery DVD's from Lenovo and they charged me $50 at the time.
    The DVD's you create with Rescue and Recovery are not the same as the ones you get from Lenovo. They both will create a "factory image" but the content is different.
    When you create Rescue and Recovery DVD set, the first one created is a BOOT DISC. That first disc you create can be either be to a DVD or a CD. Either works equally well, although Lenovo hints that the first one should be a CD. I have always used a CD, and recovered systems with no problems.
    When you make a set of recovery media using Rescue and Recovery, you do not create an "Operating System CD", and this is normal. When you get a set of recovery CD's/DVD's from Lenovo, you will always get one that is labeled "Operating System CD".
    The different sets go through different recovery processes, and Rescue and Recovery needs to know which type of set you have, so it can perform the correct process.  It does this by asking the question "Do you have an operating system CD?" Based on the answer it performs one process or the other, and expects different contents on the CD's/DVD's that are presented to it. You cannot mix the DVD's up between the two processes. If you tell Rescue and Recovery that you have an operating system CD (i.e. provided by Lenovo) and present it with media created by you using the "Create Rescue Media" process, the recovery will fail.
    I hope this helps.
    Unfortunately, I have no experience with RapidDrive.

  • Using Recovery media from an identical computer?

    I don't have access to my original recovery media. Am I able to perform a factory restore using recovery media created on an identical HP Pavillion DV6-4023TX?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I know for sure: using OS installation CD/DVD and the key at the bottom of the machine should NOT be a problem but I have not tried to use Recovery media from other machine(s). I think this won't work because the hardware signature otherwise people can clone easily. Yes, please post back the result.
    Good luck.

    You can render the title out of Premiere Pro as a movie and bring it into After Effects as a video file. Titles aren't automatically converted when you copy and paste from Premiere Pro to After Effects or use Dynamic Link to send something to After Effects.

    What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Can i use a charger from a pre-2011 macbook pro on my 2012 macbook pro?

    left my charger out of state, it's being shipped but in the meantime i need to charge my laptop! a friend has a charger that i think is from a 2011-2010 macbook pro.  will this work? is it bad for my computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Both MacBooks Pro have the same power settings and the same charger, so there won't be any problem, more if both of them are 13-inch MacBooks Pro or 15-inch MacBooks Pro.
    In the case of 13-inch MacBooks Pro and 15-inch MacBooks Pro, they come with chargers that provide different power, 60W for the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 85W for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. If you use a 15-inch MacBook Pro charger with a 13-inch Mac, you won't have any problem, but if you use a 13-inch MacBook Pro charger with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the charge may be slower

  • How to use VST Plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 in Adobe Audition 3.0 ?

    I have tried to use VST plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 into Adobe Audition 3.0, but could not use it.Is any method to use them ?

    Unless I'm mistaken, you can't do this at all - Adobe lock all their VST effects so that they only work with the app they were intended for. Which also means, of course, that you can't use Audition VST plugins with any other software either. Since Audition isn't currently in the CS, there isn't even an exception there, I suspect.
