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.

ICal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for days...??

I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone. I have been using iCloud since it came out (running Lion). iCal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for several days. Also - when I add an event on the MacBook, it does not show up on any of my other devices (they are all set up with the same iCloud calendars). When I add events from my other devices, they DO show up in iCal on my Macbook Pro.
I am at a loss -- any help would be VERY much appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Hello
Chance upon your post and yes, immediately after upgarding to Mountain Lion, my "new" Calendar (Desktop, formely known as 'iCal') keeps having the pop up window saying "Updating Calendar..." (I set my Calendar to auto-launch after Startup)
After restarting it will still be the same, but if I quit and launch again, everything will be fine. Will try the method you posted (the thread) tonight. Although I deleted the iCal preferences, thinking/hoping it will help
However, I don't seem to have a problem with sycning of al events, my sync with iCloud and all my macs and iOS devices seem OK.
If events are not syncing into some of your iOS devices, why don't you try deleting the entire iCloud account on it and re-set a new one? I've done that before when events or other data don't properly sync
Cheers

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java

Java will no longer run on my MacBook pro since I updated my java - what the heck is with that? When I try to do as suggested and go under Java preferences it wont allow me make any changes this is the error message I get "Cannot launch "java preference" no compatible version of Java 1.5 + is available."
Then it gives the option to open java preferences or quit. It will only allow me to quit as it won't open java preferences. Stupid updates!

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call.

MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1 Won't Install

Hi Everybody. I am having a really annoying problem with my rMBP. I have the update labaled: "MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1" Available in my Mac AppStore app. After I click update, I get a prompt letting me know that the laptop needs to be plugged in, I hit ok. It downloads (very small file) and asks me to Restart or hit "Not Now". I click restart, the system reboots into a updating page where a status bar quickly completes. The laptop restarts again back to OSX. I open up the appstore and goto the updates page and what do I see? 1 available update: MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1, like I never did anything to begin with.
My system info is:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.6 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
L3 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          8 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MBP101.00EE.B02
SMC Version (system):          2.3f32
Serial Number (system):          xxx
Hardware UUID: xxx
Please help this is really annoying.

I had the same problem. Tried all the proposed fixes. Nothing worked. This solved my problem:
1. Install a fresh copy of mountain lion on an extern disk
2. Startup from that disk
3. Update to 10.8.3.
4. Restart
5. Open app store, go to updates. You should see the SMC 1.1. update.
6. Click update
7. Restart
Once the update installed (fan will go quickly to max speed during startup) switch back to your internal disk and start up. Now the SMC 1.1. update shouldn't show up in the app store/upadtes.

My MacBook Pro has an update available for Maverick I think it was

My MacBook Pro had an update available for the Maverick and I did not hit the update because kept erroring out. I was updating other things and decided to hit it too and that time finally updated. Then right after the laptop looked for updates and did another one. It asked to install whatever the upstate on the OS or X was and then took 50 minutes to install it then more time to complete it. When computer finally came back on it asked for my apple ID for iCloud. I typed it in several times correct fly but it would not take it and finally chose forgot. It went to a new blank box with the asterisk wheel winding around and choice of continue highlighted below next to un highlighted back. Now I am frozen here and can't do anything with laptop. Will not allow me to highlight and choose back. Can't get it to continue. Tried esc. Tried force close and tells me I must quit setup assistant first. Can't get top controls to show up. Finally got a second desktop background to come up and pushed F 3 and tried to use buttons below and above and will pull-up things like Safari but can't use it and can't pull up the set up assistant this way to choose quit either. So I am just stuck. Help please, anyone. How do I get use of my laptop again??
I don't really know if it is maverick or what number OS it is. Just know had picture of mountain lion.

That sounds like you have installed Mavericks over the top of Mountain Lion?
Do you know what version of the OS was on the laptop before you started?
Do you have any backups from before the 'update', either a Time Machine disk or a full copy (a.k.a. bootable clone)?
Mavericks is not a simple update, despite Apple's constant nagging to 'update' to it. It's possible that the Mavericks installer has overwritten the old OS, but I suspect it may simply need you to create a user account with the setup assistant. It's a very good idea to make a full backup before applying any major OS upgrade.
I would reboot, fill out the details for setup assistant and when it is time to enter the user details enter a new account name (this will be your admin account). The assistant should then create a user account that you can login with to look at the contents of the Mac's disk.
Then you should open the /Users folder (Use 'Finder menu > Go > Go to folder…' to open /Users) & see if the old users home folders are still intact. You may also want to see if any third party Applications are still installed.
If the old data is intact, and the account isn't listed in 'System Preferences > Users & groups' it can be recreated, provided you make sure to use the same 'shortname' as the Users home folder.
If the data is gone, I'm afraid it's possible that it is lost, I can't see this being likley because the 10.9 installer will not delete user data without some stern warnings & advanced user interaction.
An alternative would be to connect this Mac to another Mac & look at the disk to see if the data is still there before you create the user acount. Do you have access to another Mac? You may be able to use Thunderbolt or Firewire to see this Mac's disk on another working Mac.

I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.

I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.
Thanks.

I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks

MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3 update freezes mouse pointer

After installing the update released today 5/28 (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) my mouse pointer stalls, freezes on occasion. Very annoying. Anyone seeing the same. Fixes ... ?

After applying the SMC Firmware update a few days ago, my keyboard and trackpad were acting erratic (freezing, hanging). It was immediately after the update and I had not had any problems with it before.
I have also had random crashes, inability to use the keyboard/trackpad ever since.
Today my keyboard and trackpad are completely unusable, external mouse works fine.
I will take it to an Apple store tomorrow, hopefully my firmware can be reverted.
Sounds like a lot of other people are having problems with this update. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9549034&tstart=0#9549034

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.

Hi
The latest MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0 will not install.
It runs and I restart my Mac but when I search for more updates it appears as a required update again.
Anyone know why this may be?

I had the same problem today. I called Apple support who transferred me to second level support and no resolution. I decided to try a combination of the items I have seen below.
I restarted my computer. I went to apple support download and downloaded the software EFI firmware update 2.0 by typing in search window. I made sure the power cord was pulled into the wall and the laptop had a FULL charge. I installed the update and the computer restarted.
I went to check the software update window after the update and restart completed and SUCCESSFUL.
I do not know why the Genius Bar or the second level support could not resolve my issues but, by me reading information here I hope at least this issue is resolved.
Thanks ALL.......... Happy Mac ing

MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0

Hello,
I receive regular updates of the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.0" software. Each time I download, restart and let the update install. Each time it says update istalled succesfully... Yet each time I get the upgrade notice.
Worse now, iTunes says there is a software upgrade. But when I want to download it again I get the EFI upgrade announcement, but not the iTunes upgrade downloaded...
I've done a complete maintenance run, repair, rebuild, etc... but same results.
Thanks for any hint on what may be going wrong or how I can fix this.

I copied the version number from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1331. That may be a misprint or typo on Apple's part. I'm posting a message asking about that in a special forum available only to level 4 or 5 users that sometimes gets replies from the folks that maintain those articles.
If I hear anything that confirms that, I will post back here, but for now I think it is safe to assume "B05" is correct.

Lotta Issues after Macbook Pro 2.0 update

After applying Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 2.0 update, and its supplymental update, My Retina MBP (
SMC Version (system):
2.3f32 Boot ROM Version:
MBP101.00EE.B02)
has following problems:
unable to set hibernatemode to 0: '# sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0' and 'sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage' both returns no error. But after closing the lid and open it, the sleepimage comes back. And the "sleep by close the lid" is slow, takes about 40sec.
slow wakeup: open the lid, the login window appears, but nothing is interactive, after about a minute, i can type the password and login.
other 1: after the slow sleep and slow wake up, I lost lot of Icons from the menubar, application menus, and Apple apps' (finder, safari, mail...) buttons.
other 2: System sound(notification, empty trash, trash file...) becomes white noise
other 3: after the wakeup,entire desktop becoms random noise, some Dock icons and some imagess in safari become noise.
randomly some apps crash and fail to launch again. Including apps from both Apple and 3rd party.
3,4,5,6 seems like some memory disorder?
and, how can I or Apple fix this soon?

Bring the computer to an Apple store, or AASP, or inspection.

MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update 1.0 taking a long time

Does the MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update 1.0 take a long time - mine is just saying "Waiting..." after 20 minutes. Updating from the App Store. Thanks

hi, i wasnt able to find the EFI update in my App store. My computer is also MBPro Retina Mid 2012.
would you mind telling me your boot rom version after you successfully installed this EFI updated? (Anyone?)
mine is:
Boot ROM Version: MBP101.00EE.B02
Although i dont remember installing this EFI update. After I installed 10.8.2, i was only able to see the iphoto update, and
after that, nothing. Until now, there's no update from App Store.
