Best RAM configuration for Macbook (mid 2007)
Hi, I have a Macbook (mid 2007) with 1 GB ram and I would like to upgrade. Currently I have 2x512MB, so both of my memory slots are taken. Is it a good idea to have one 512MB card and a 2GB card in the other slot? Otherwise, what is the best RAM configuration for a mid 2007 macbook?
I am also looking into purchasing this memory card for my macbook, is this a good choice?

Any advice would be very much appreciated!Kappy wrote:

Yes, I read the figure 128 in regards to the benefit. Something about interleaving, maybe?
In doing a Google search for that article I saw, I found this:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/99215-4gb-ram-my-macbook.html
the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can take is 3.3GB. So while you can physically insert 4GB of RAM, OS X will only be able to see 3.3GB of it.
But I don't know how knowledgeable that poster is who says it can utilize 3.3 GB. I do know that the full 4 GB shows up in the System Profiler on my MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz. -

Start your Mac while holding the X key down. That should force your Mac to start using the OS X partition.

I deleted iPhoto from my macbook (mid 2007, msc os 10.5.8) more than a year ago. Now I extremely need it , but could not recover it. Is here a way for some how to download the appropriate iPhoto version for my macbook?

Insert the iLife DVD or the second disc that came with your computer to install it. Then, go to > Software Update and install the latest version. You can also buy iLife '09 in Amazon -
Macbook mid 2007 just booght leopard ?
The other day i saw an offer on "las units"on some notebooks on a store (compumundo, argentina), between them there was a macbook mid 2007 unit (2.16ghz white one), the normal price for a similar (but newer) model here is 6999 argentine pesos (1 u$s = 3.17 Arg. pesos), and they were oferring it for 4000 (since it had a scratch, that ended up being glue :P). Since here a c2d 13.3' notebook costs 5000 or more pesos, and comes with a 1.6 ghz one for that price, i had to buy it (i was looking for a nb).
Now my question: my mac came with tiger, do i have to buy Leopard ? or can i get it "for free" since i just bought my macbook ? (for some reason the online warranty check says the warranty last till june 2008, so i had to fax the receipt with the correct info for them to change it).
pd: compumundo is an authorized resealerYou have to buy it yourself. New Macbooks come with Leopard installed.

Boots only in Safe Mode - Macbook mid 2007
My Macbook mid 2007 with Snow Leopard will not boot correctly. The only successful means is Safe Mode (key S during boot).
All measures published in various postings have been conducted without any peripheral devices. These are:
verify harddisc
verify RAM
resetting PRAM and NVRAM
A detailled overview can be found under here.
The existing original RAM and harddisc were successfully tested using a second identical Macbook. A new installation of Snow Leopard on the harddisc using the second Macbook was successful and started in this second Macbook as expected. This harddisc was then inserted into my Macbook, but it would not boot. Hence it is safe to exclude problems with RAM and the harddisc.
Attempts to boot with the Snow Leopard DVD (either via C plus boot or Option during boot and select Install DVD) are not successful. Attempts to boot from an external drive are also not successful. The boot process (regular, DVD, external) progresses to different states including grey screen with Apple and frozen wheel. There is no consistency.
From the various postings I have found and studied along with my numerous tests, I have deduced the following possibilities:
There is a problem with the GPU.
There is a problem with the keyboard (maybe someone spilled something).
I have found numerous solutions for "boots only in Safe Mode". All include booting via Install DVD, but this does not work in my case.
I have exhausted all my possibilities. Hopefully someone can provide more insight.lruetimann wrote:
What I am not able to test is booting with an external CD/DVD drive. However, there is no indication that the built-in drive is malfunctioning.
If you have a second MacBook (#2 working OK), you could use its CD/DVD drive loaded with the 10.6 DVD as the target disk to boot into, as the first Macbook (#1 the troubled one) reportedly cannot see a 10.6 DVD normally.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
In your case this would be:
With the MacBook(1) on (Host), the MacBook(2) off (Target) connect the firewire cable.
Start the MacBook(2), hold T key to make it the boot drive. It will appear on the MacBook's(1) Desktop.
Insert the 10.6 Install DVD into the MacBook(2).
It too will appear on the MacBook's(1) Desktop.
From the MacBook(1), select Restart and hold down the Option key to select Start-up Manager.
From Start-up Manager, select the 10.6 Install DVD which will take you into the installation.
If this occurs, then you have booted into the install 10.6 DVD, From there you could try and install it, see what happens.
However, if it does not see the DVD disk, then this would indicate a defect in the logicboard (motherboard), though which component I would not guess.
If it does see the DVD, in Macbook (2) and can boot into it,… I'd be surprised! -
My computer (MacBook mid-2007) does not recognise the battery suddenly. A cross appears on the image. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it but it didn't help. Is the battery dead?

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask which is the nominal battery charge of a genuine (from Apple) battery for a 13'' macbook (mid 2007). I have just bought a new one, and it has a nominal capacity of about 5500 mAh. I just would like to check if it is in good condition.
When my old battery stopped functioning I checked some information in the web and arrived to the followings conclusions:
Webpages:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batterie s
http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
Conclusions:
- Lithium-based batteries have no memory charge effect. This means, that you don't need to be careful about charging-discharging the battery to 100% and 0% sometimes every 3 months. It also means that you can keep the battery in good health conditions not charging-discharging it at all.
- When you are not going to use your notebook for some months it is best to keep the battery at 40-50%charge (it radically increases your battery lifetime).
- It is also good to keep your battery at "low temperature" when not using it. It seems that 0-20ºC is ok. For example 40ºC is really bad for your battery.
If anyone has any comment about my "conclusions", it will be useful form me .
Thanks for the information in advance,
JesusCall Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775 (telephone numbers for other countries - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57). Provide the serial number and specifications of the Mac. They may be able to provide a replacement set of discs for a fee. These discs will be for whatever OS was installed on the computer originally, so if you have an upgraded version you will need to obtain the discs some other way.
You may want to just upgrade to a newer system version. Snow Leopard 10.6 would be a good one for that computer but you would need to make sure it has enough RAM to run it. It would only cost $29 to get Snow Leopard from Apple and for the next 30-45 days until the next OS release in July it is still relatively up-to-date.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 - note by K Shaffer - http://discussions.apple.com/message/12921514 : "Some early Intel-based Macs can't use Snow Leopard 10.6 installers; of those, the Core Duo (not 2 duo) were suspect and had issues." - and a qualifier by "a brody" http://discussions.apple.com/message/13028822 : "I think that refers to the ones without at least 1 GB of RAM." -

Hi
The hard drive on my mid-2007 Macbook crashed. I've installed a new one but don't have a disc for iWork, which I must have downloaded. I can't see a version on the Apple store that looks compatible and I'm not even sure what version I had. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and it looks like version 09 won't work. Would 08 be OK? I'm assuming I'll have to buy a replacement as I don't have a record of the serial number. Would be great if I don't.

I can't upgrade my macbook mid 2007 to maverick its because is to old ? help me guys
i need help guys i dont know why i can not upgrade my macbook 13-inch mid 2007 from os x lion 10.7.5 to maverick
No, the 2007 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion and Mavericks,
It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

I have a macbook mid 2007 should i up trade it in for a newer macbook pro
I have a macbook refurbished mid 2007 should i update it for a newer version or a macbook pro?
I have the late 2007 model also, and I am pulling my hair bcause I cannot run anything newer than the Snow Leopard OS, which leaves me with no cloud connectivity, and I cannot run the new iLife... which leaves my iPhone and iPad out of sync (calendars, etc!), and I cannot use my Pages, Numbers, etc on my laptop.
If you just need a machine that is not quite so old and sluggish, you should absolutely invest in more RAM, perhaps a bigger or an additional external hard drive, depending on use.
If you have any other iDevice that uses the newest iOS, do yourself a favor, and if possible, get that new laptop.
