Macbook 2.2 (black) Vs Macbook Pro 2.0
Hi, I've just purchased a 2nd hand Macbook Pro 2.0 to temporarily replace my Macbook 2.2 whilst it's away being fixed (cracked at the edges, as normal!)
I believe the MBP is an early 2006 model whilst the MB is a late 2007.
My question is, will I notice much of a difference in performance over and above that expected by the different RAM in the machines? (The MBP has 2g of ram and the MB 4g)
Also, anyone know if the MBP can take 4g of RAM?
I guess, the only other question is, once the MB is back repaired I'll be selling on of them, which would you keep? Bearing in mind the MB still has 14months Apple Care left on it.
Thanks.
Thanks to the last two posters for useful replies.
I'm told that the Macbook, with a Core Duo 2 processor, will be running Snow Leopard in 64b, whilst the MBP only 32. Now all this is above my head a bit, but is that statement true, and if so, what is the real world difference?
To add some more info, my use is not intensive. Usual office stuff, email, website tinkering, surfing, that sort of thing. The most intensive stuff I'd be doing is editing photos in RAW using iPhoto and creating website adverts and banners using Photoshop, typically with 10-20 layers.
Jason does raise a question that has been going round in my head, just how much better in terms of build quality is the newer stuff? I need a workhorse, not something that is light/sleek/shiny. Has the build quality on the newer Macs been dropped to get the RRP's down?
And another thing, the MBP is nearly two years older than the MB, I know the previous owner and it's been well looked after, but what is the typical shelf life of a MBP? It's nearly four years old, time to retire it or plenty of life in the old dog?
I know the shelf life of the MB's is not great, I'm on my third now, all have suffered case cracking, with a year warranty left maybe now is the time to sell it?
I'm getting the MBP later today so will run some comparison tests, of course all this might be pointless once I see the 15" screen (did I mention the MBP is a 15" model?) I'm a sucker for big screens

Macbook Pro Retina blacks out for a few seconds at a time
I have a new (2-3 weeks) Macbook Pro 13" retina display. A few times since I've had it, the screen went black for about 10 seconds and then came back. Any idea what's up with this? Is this something to return the machine for, or is a software issue? Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks!
StaceyYou are still under warranty. Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
#2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
#3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
#4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years. You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. -
Display Problem on MacBook Pro 13-In: red blotch when screen is dark/black
I've been having a really weird problem: a red blotch near the center of my screen, visible if the screen is black, or dark background in video playback. It's about an inch off center (right) and it look like a "T" made by a paint brush stroke. When it first appeared (in the same spot to the left of center), Apple replaced the display (in the last year of Apple Care), and it disappeared. It reappeared 4 weeks later as clear lines (in the same spot). They replaced the display again, and it disappeared once again. It happened a third time 4 months after that, and they replaced the logic board as well as the display; again, "fixed." Here's the weirdest part: because, after all this, the computer would not charge, they threw up their hands and gave me a brand new MacBook Pro. That was a month ago, and last night, there was the red blotch again (except now, again, just to the right of center).
I can't find anything like this (online) happening to anyone else, and so far Apple hasn't determined what they think the problem is. I sort of feel now the problem must lie with me. But what could I be doing? I haven't dropped it; I'm just using it for email and reading online.
Anyone have any idea what this might be? Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions.I can only do wild guesses at this popint, only thing I can think of on your end is possible AC power problems, but I've not been impressed with Apple's quality since the 68K or Beige days.
THe iMac7,1 I'm on now needed repair 3 times & still scares me with it's PSU temps. -
My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" Blacks Out Without Warning
Quick Summary of Problem: My MacBook Pro is currently shutting down without warning. It would be more accurate to say that the screen goes blank but the machine remains on as can be heard by the fan. Nothing resolves it without powering down and restarting. It has occurred when attached to a power source or via the battery.
My machine specs: Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15” with 500GB hard drive, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics/nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB, anti-glare 15” screen with max resolution 1680 x 1050). Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 2013-001 Security Patch installed.
I have AppleCare which commenced when I first bought the machine in July 2010.
System Profiler says my battery condition is ‘Normal’. Cycle count: 610.
Detailed Summary of Problem: Back in January, my MacBook Pro shut down several times without warning. Each time, I was creating selections on high resolution imagery in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Not long after, I saw the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ relased on Feb 12 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633) and installed it via Software Update. By coincidence or not, my MBP behaved much better afterwards and the seemingly random blank screens requiring a restart disappeared.
But then I installed the ‘Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)’(http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642) via Software Update and that’s the only thing I can really remember changing to my system. Since then, the black-outs have reappeared. As before, I was usually using Photoshop and working with high resolution imagery. However, one time the machine blacked-out, I was simply doing a two-finger scroll on the built-in trackpad whilst in Chrome (Version 25.0.1364.172).
The blackout has occurred twice now not being connected to power, and twice with it being connected to a wall socket. Needless to say, I lost work in Photoshop (even though I’ve begun to save more regularly) and now it feels like it’s a ticking time bomb and I don’t know when it’s going to go off.
One thing I’ve found rather odd is that in the crash log, the kernal version doesn’t seem right for Snow Leopard:
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386
System model name: MacBookPro6,2 (Mac-F22586C8)
The full crash log can be found at the bottom of this post.
Fixes I’ve tried:
1) Resetting the NV-RAM has done nothing. (was suggested
2) I’ve tried reinstalling the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ by downloading the manual installer from Apple, however it now says ‘Alert: This software is not supported on your system’ which in a way makes sense given I’d already applied the firmware update, but a more accurate message along the lines of ‘This firmware update has already been installed’ would be more reassuring.
3) If all else fails, I could resort to copying over a backup I created with Carbon Copy Cloner, which was done before I reinstalled the 2013-001 Security Update for Snow Leopard. But that’s a bit of a headache too, because my documents I’ve updated since the backup will be out of sync. Another reason this isn’t a great solution is that I can’t take advantage of the 2013-001 security update, nor future ones.
Any suggestions? There’s probably no good time for something like this to happen, but this is a particularly bad time – I’m currently beginning design and finished art freelancing and brushing up on some applications I haven’t used in years. Nor am I going to make an impression meeting with recruiters without my folio being presented from my MBP.
I’ve already booked a Genius appointment 2.5 days from now, but all help and ideas greatly appreciated!

However, the issue described by TS4088 is not a soldering problem. It is a Latent Defect -- a flaw built into certain batches of those chips from the day they were packaged and installed.
If your Mac fails the VST test used to detect this Latent Defect, re-flowing the solder is likely to have NO EFFECT on its performance -- the solution is the remove the defective chip and replace with a good one.
There certainly can be problems in these and other Macs where a re-flow would be beneficial. But I caution Readers not to generalize your solution to Macs that are known to fail VST. Re-flow alone will not solve the Latent Defect problem. -
Mid-2010 15in. MacBook Pro going to black screen requiring reset by holding power button
Hello all,
I have been searching for a problem solution for quite some time now. I have a mid-2010 15" Macbook Pro (2.4GHz Intel I5; 4 GB mem) updated to version 10.7.5. The computer randomly goes to a black screen, while the program / movie / whatever is still running (I can hear the sound) and then stalls. I then have to hold the power button down until it will reset. I will post the error message at the end of this.
I have wiped the computer clean and reinstalled everything and that did not help. I am no longer under Apple warrenty and hoping that someone has experienced. Short of me finding an answer I will take it in to Apple. Thanks in advance for any help!

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -
MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode: can't restart or shut down, black screen
I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. After installing the latest Software Update, including a Firmware update for my SuperDrive, the following problem has occurred, for the very first time:
I closed the lid of my laptop for the night, as I do routinely every night, thus putting my MBP to sleep. I leave the various apps open, usually Firefox, iTunes and Entourage. The next morning my MBP felt hot and the screen remained black... it would not change. After repeatedly trying and failing to clear the black screen and bring my apps up, I held the power button down to do a complete Shut Down. My system turned off, but did not do an actual Shut Down. When I press the power button to turn it on, it comes right back into sleep mode with the screen remaining black. I cannot seem to force either a Shut Down or a Restart. I unplugged all peripherals and the power cord, let my MBP cool down completely--for a couple of hours-- and tried everything again. Still no change: I'm stuck in sleep mode with a black screen. I've also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but neither works, probably because I'm not coming from a Shut Down. Is anybody else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem must be somehow related to the latest update, but whatever it is, I'd like to resolve it.
Thanks in advance for any help.I can't get into my system to see my update version, but I'm certain I'm running the most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and all other latest updates applicable to my mid-2009 MBP, as I run Software Update routinely. I thoroughly completed all update installations, including the SuperDrive Firmware update, followed all instructions meticulously, including rebooting, and actually used my system for at least one full day without any problems. I'd even recently repaired all permissions. Everything was "humming" along very well. This problem came totally out of the blue. Because the screen is black, I can't actually see what's on it; however, I've put my MBP to sleep every night by closing the lid and it awakens in the morning when I raise the lid. This time the sleep light indicator is on, but nothing happens when I lift the lid, touch the track pad or a key. If I hold the power button down briefly, the sleep light goes out, but when I press the power button again, the light comes right back on. If I depress the power button for several seconds, to initiate a shutdown or restart, it simply shuts off the fan and refuses to completely shut down. This is evidenced by the fact that depressing the power button to start up brings the sleep light on very quickly. I can tell by the way the system sounds that it is on behind the blackened screen. Sorry I can't get you the update versions.

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only
Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated! -
I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.
Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

Check if the current resolution matches your screen's natiive resolution.

in my macbook pro sees in the screen very wide a vertical black bar and it does not let see what this underneath that bar
Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

My MacBook Pro turns to black screen randomly
I bought a new MacBook Pro in April 2013 after my old one died after 7 years. I was super excited. I bought the 15 inch retina display (early 2013) with 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I am having many issues with my laptop. I was hoping one of you could help me.
First issue - battery life. I originally had my computer set to never sleep. So I would leave it and it would eventually die. I thought the battery life is horrible. I would have to charge my laptop twice or more a day. So I fixed that but my battery life still seems super inefficient. I am just searching the internet and using iphoto. I am having to charge it now once a day. Is this battery life normal? I brought it into the Apple store and they did some diagnostics test on the battery and found it was working as it should. It stayed charged for the expected 8 hours. I'm not sure how because I never get 8 hours EVER.
Second issue - my computer will randomly turn to a black screen. While I am typing or searching the internet or just using it for whatever. It turns to a black screen and then I have to hit a button or hit the track pad to get it to turn back on. When it comes back on, I don't have to type in my password. It works just as expected. I cannot duplicate this issue. I do not have a magnetic bracelet or have my phone or any magnets near my computer. It had happened 4 times before I brought it into the Apple store. This is what they checked it in for: Check in for one loop of asd with hdd scan. If unit passes asd attempt to duplicate issue in customer os. Customer has video on desktop named "flickering" to show issue. So of course because they could not reproduce anything, they returned it to me stating that the hardware was running as it was supposed too. Never been more frustrated in my life.
Third Issue - When I start up from sleep sometimes the screen flickers before it starts up. I want to know if this is normal?
Fourth Issue - This is the newest issue that just started today. When I hit the power button and put the computer to sleep, it takes about 30 seconds for the computer to go to sleep. This is new to me because it used to happen almost automactically. So I can press the power button, press sleep the proceed to do things on the computer and then it shuts off.
So I have an appointment for the Genius Bar on Friday. I thought I might see what all of you have to say. I am frustrated to say the least. I paid A LOT of money for this machine and I love Apple products. I want to be happy with my purchase but I am regreatting it. What else can I do? I'm not sure what to say to the techs at the genius bar for them to take me seriously. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Missy,
Battery Life:
Please connect you notebook to power when it is available. Your battery has a limited number of charge cycles. When you must run on the battery, otherwise leave the notebook plugged into a power outlet. I have a notebook I purchased on 2011 that has 70 charge cycles on it.
You can determine how many charge systes are on your battery by selcting the menu item " >About This Mac..." then click the button "More Info..." Now click "System Report" Once System Profiler is running click the text "Power" on the left and locate "Cycle Count"
The higher that number the lower I would expect your battery life to be. -
Macbook Pro 13" Screen went Black - Can only see when plugged into another display! HELP!
My MacBook Pro's screen went black last night and now when it turns on it stays black. I plugged it into my tv through the mini display port and I can see everything fine on the tv but the screen on my laptop is black. Everything else seems to be working fine. Any advice that doesn't involve taking to Genius Bar??? Already tried booting in safe mode, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Need to fix this ASAP. Thanks!!
Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Macbook Pro Black Screen (Yosemite 15" 2014)
Hey guys, I was just sitting down and opened up Skype and my macbook pro suddenly went black, just previously I had been watching stuff for a few hours on my macbook hooked up to my TV via HDMI cable. I thought to simply restart, I heard the sound chime but the screen remained black, I hooked my macbook back to the tv and everything shows up and works perfectly on the TV, i can adjust the backlit keyboard lighting, but as its through HDMI sound/brightness adjustment couldn't be done, without HDMI attempting this changes nothing, I have reset the PRAM & tried to enter safe mode which didnt seem to go into safe mode, instead staying as a black screen, i have now force shut down my laptop about 20 times with nothing working on the screen, the whole screen is black, no cursor or graphics visible, shining a light in the screen shows nothing, the apple logo behind is not lit. I have researched literally every available article on this matter that I could find but most relate somehow close to mine but with different issues such as cursor showing or external monitor not showing display, I am convinced this is something related to me pulling out the hdmi or confusing it somehow, this laptop is literally like 2 months old and I cant see how there could possibly be a hardware issue.
Thanks all for reading hope someone has an idea I haven't tried!
Specs:
Year: 2014
GPU: Intel Iris Pro
Memory: 16GB RAM
OS: Yosemite
Symptoms:
Black Screen
No Display on Macbook
Keyboard and Keyboard lighting working
External Monitor fully working through HDMI
Sound Chime and booting correctlyJust encountered this problem this morning. Here's the fix: (Relayed from another forum)
1. Shut the computer down by holding the pwr button down for 10 sec.
2. Restart the computer with a short push on the pwr button and press the shift key down at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving.
3. Once you reach the point when your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password and hit Enter.
4. After a moment you should see the spinning ball.
Apparently this is an issue with an uncompleted update, but instead of asking you for your details to complete the update the screen goes black, but the computer is still able to receive your inputs. -
Macbook Pro 2,2 ghz intel, black screen at startup
Hi
I have a problem with my Macbook Pro.. It was hooked up to my TV through DVI, and after turning it off, the screen went black. I know the computer turns on, since I can log on to it from my other mac through screen sharing. Through the screen sharing i can see that it cant find my graphic card. I have reset both PRAM, and SMC, nothing helped.. Can anyone PLEASE help me... It seems like that there is something wrong with the graphic card.Hi, Heydari, and welcome to the forums.
Sounds like a classic case of the NVidia 8600 GPU issue.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 for details of the free extended repair program for this problem. It requires replacement of the logic board.
Cheers

I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and it have DVI and VGA plugs. I bought the DVI adapter to connect with my macbook pro laptop. But the external monitor remain black… so I turn it off then turn it back on, it said "No VGA signal". Does it means I have to use VGA adapter instead? I am not sure how it work, I am very new to it… I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!Use the Transfer Purchases command in the File menu of iTunes.
