Is this Internal Harddrive compatible with my Macbook Pro 13 inch (Mid-2012) model?

Seagate Momentus 500 GB Laptop Internal Hard Drive (ST500LT012)
http://www.flipkart.com/seagate-momentus-500-gb-laptop-internal-hard-drive-st500 lt012/p/itmdhyu4weuzqtzq
I purchased this internal disk. I need to know if this will be compatible. Only then I would know if its Okay to use or should I exchange it. I need you guys to tell me.. Thanks for your help :-)

An SSD replaces your hard drive. Unfortunately they are kind of small in comparison, so you may need to stick with a hard drive. A SSD uses flash memory like a USB drive, except in place of your hard drive. The speed increase is phenominal. This will replace your drive so you will need to reload OS X which is easy thanks to Internet Recovery.
Kingston makes a 64GB model that is decent, I have one in an older original MacBook and it feels so much snappier. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139949

They vary in all different capacities and speeds. Not all SSD's are created equal.
Follow the instructions in your MacBooks manual to upgrade the drive.
You will need a 2.5 inch SATAIII SSD if you choose to go that way.
Between the SSD and the RAM upgrade you have a beast of a machine.

Internal HDD installation guide for MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 model

Hello,
Can someone please share any step by step guides or instructional videos for installing a new internal HDD in a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2012 model. Also, please advise on how to format the new HDD as it is an unformatted one.
Thanks in advance!

To format your new HDD, connect it to your MBP and open Disk Utility>Erase. Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then clone the data from the internal HDD to the new external one. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or use Carbon Copy Cloner (third party software) to do the cloning. Test the new HDD via Startup manager and then perform the swap.
Ciao.

Macbook pro retina mid 2012 model heating

Hi there everyone,
is it normal for the mbp retina model to get quite warm or hot while using if plugged in. when on battery its fine. Also the charger gets really hot when plugged in to the mbp.. are there any solutions to this issue?

Note that the MacBook Pro with Retina display is made of aluminum, and it gets hot quickly. I wouldn't be worried if you feel that the cover is hot. Just to make sure that everything is correct, download Temperature Monitor and tell me the temperature of your MacBook.
Also, the charger may get hot during charge. Again, you shouldn't be worried about that, unless you feel that it's extremely hot

Will this memory be compatible with my macbook pro?

Will this be compatible with my mac?

RAM has specifications, you need to carefully match the specifications exactly and buy your RAM from a reliable source as to get the highest quality.
Just like most Merceedes only take high grade fuel, a Mac only prefers high quality RAM.
It's rather risky opening a Mac, damage to the screws and other things can occur on some models, so to reduce this possibility (and having to ship bad RAM back) you should choose a highly reliable vendor with tested top tier RAM.
You should also know exactly how to take the right steps to install RAM, wear anti-static protection, disconnect the power and other measures to safely install your RAM correctly the first time!
Many people buy RAM without realizing there is a slot limitation.
If they have 1.5 GB and two slots, they foolishly buy another 512MB RAM module to try to attain 2GB, when they actually need another 1GB module.
So with that I give you a link, I get no compensation, just use their "evaluator" to make sure you get the RIGHT RAM for your make and model of machine. If you don't want to buy from them that's perfectly fine, just get the right specs right the first time.

Possible Fan Issue With My Macbook Pro 13inch Mid 2010 Model.

Lately I've been getting really weird noises coming from my Macbook Pro. I assume it's the fan because I have a little menubar app that monitors my fan. It seems it can't go beyond 2000rpm and the noise coming from it is loud. I don't know if the motor is going bad or what because after a certain amount of time it gets really hot. In the past I would just shutdown my MBP and restart it which would sometimes fix the problem. The first time I had this happen was last year. I took it to a Apple Store where the genius told me there is probably something stuck in the fan because it stopped making the noise. At the time this was still under warrenty and being a student I couldn't afford to get Apple Care. I do plan on taking this to a Apple Store to have diagnositcs run on it. Has anyone else have this problem before and what do you think a estimate would cost to get it fixed?

I'm not sure I undertand the logic of that, but in any case, I would get the case number and/or whatever paperwork you have from the visit, and go back to see if they might still cover it under warranty because the issue first occurred when it was still under warranty.
At the time this was still under warrenty and being a student I couldn't afford to get Apple Care.
I suspect you understand now that this repair could cost more than AppleCare would have cost . . . just something to think about next time.

That's a good plan to have them diagnose it. An estimate of the cost of the repair should be free.

Macbook Pro 15 mid 2012 friezes in the games.

Добрый день! Возникла проблема с моим Macbook про 15 mid 2012. С некоторых пор появились фризы в играх, вне зависимости от сложности игры и ее 2D или 3D движка.
Отнес в официальный сервис, провели диагностику, ничего не выявили. Почистили, заменили термопасту, и сказали мне, что просто игры становятся сложнее а ноутбук не успевает за ними. И в заключении написали не подтвердились проблемы заявленные мной.
По моему меня просто проигнорировали.
Предположу что проблема в видеочипе. Но почему при принудительной смене на интегрированный чип, ничего не поменялось.
Что было сделано еще до сервисного центра.
Была обновлена Йосимите до последней версии, затем в качестве проверки, была установлена Маверикс.
Ничего не изменилось.
Good afternoon! There was a problem with my Macbook pro 15 mid 2012. For some time now there friezes in the games, regardless of the complexity of the game and its 2D or 3D engine.
Took it to the official service, held diagnostics have revealed nothing. Cleaned, replaced the thermal paste, and told me that just the game become more complex and the laptop does not have time for them. And finally wrote not confirmed the problem stated by me.
In my opinion I just ignored.
I suppose that the problem in the video chip. But why the forced change in the integrated chip, nothing has changed.
What has been done before the service center.
Yosimite been updated to the latest version, then as a test, was set Mavericks.
Nothing has changed.

Забыл добавить. Проблема одинакова Windows или OS X. Игры в которых проблемы выявлены: Craft the world, World of tanks, Warthunder, Diablo 3. И если три последние чтото требуют от системы, то первая которая на видео это 2д игра для любого типа видеокарт.
Forgot to add. The problem is the same Windows or OS X. Games in which problems are identified: Craft the world, World of tanks, Warthunder, Diablo 3. And if something last three require the system, which is the first video on this 2d game for any kind of video cards.

I have files on iomega zip discs from 10 years ago, but no longer have a zip drive. I can buy one second hand at a reasonable price, but I don't know if it would be compatible with my MacBook pro.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

For FREE do the following:
When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause.
Take a screen shot: Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab. Will do the above with just a single click.
If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search. This way, you can find exactly what you want.

I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB. Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB. Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

There are only a handful or Hard Drive mechanism manufacturers left. Acer is not one of them, although they may make the enclosure (but probably not that either). So in essence you have a Brand-X enclosure with some sort of Hard Drive inside.
Most of those work fine once they are re-Initialized for use on the Mac. For me, I prefer to use the Re-purposing of a drive as an opportunity to re-write every block with Zeroes (which can take several hours but can be done in the background), assuring that every block is good.

Is the Canon MF3010 compatible with the Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.3)?

A recently bought Canon MF3010 laser printer does not seem to be compatible with my Macbook Pro (10.8.3). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work? It's not listed in supported software on the site and I tried downloading and intalling some software recently available on the Canon site, but that's not working either.

The MF v10.0.0 driver available from Canon works fine on OS X 10.8.
As for it not being listed in the supported software, if you are referring to the Apple KB article then that is just a list of what drivers are available from Apple. It's not a "only these drivers are supported" list.
So assuming you downloaded and installed the MF v10.0.0 driver, what exactly is not working? Have been able to add the printer but it does not print? Or are you not even able to add the printer?

Are SACDs fully compatible with the MacBook Pro?

I'm a huge Tolkien appreciator, and I absolutely love Howard Shore's incredible scores for Peter Jackson's film adaptions of The Lord of the Rings. The Complete Recordings of each film come with a double-sided SACD of the score, which does play in the DVD Player application on my MacBook Pro (late 2011), but I'm not sure if it's actually getting the full sound quality from the SACD. Does anyone know if the MacBook Pro's system takes full advantage of the multiple channels on the SACD?
Thanks!
