MacBook Pro 17" Santa Rosa and 64-bits strange issue...

Hi all,
my MacBoo Pro 17" Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4GHz under SL 10.6.5 seems to be able to boot in 64 bits, so I edited the com.Apple.boot.plist in order to do so. I rebooted fine but as I'm going to Informations System, it shows that the Kernel didn't boot in 64-bits as you can see on the image below:

I Tried the Kernel Startup Mode Selector (from http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html) and after rebooting it shows that I rebooted in 32-bits mode althought it sais the computer was able to boot in 64-bits mode.
As I look in Hardware info panel (http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1363/hardwareinfo.jpg), my requirements are ok, but I cant' understand why it still boot under 32-bits mode.
Any idea?...

2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa) weird display color and vertical lines

I have the 2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa). After my upgrade to mac os x lion (10.8.2), I noticed that periodically the screen either turns to weird display color and have horizontal lines on screen. This happens mostly during start up and lasts for about a min or two. Does this happen because of a faulty graphics card? I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card on this macbook pro. Please advice

Nope - it sounds as if you've GPU issues and the discrete GPU is soldered onto the logic board. take your new machine into your local Apple Store for a replacement. Don't wait too long!

MacBook Pro - with Santa Rosa - Kernel Panics

The local Apple store has replaced my new Santa Rosa MacBook Pro once already and when I received the machine, I did a brand new install and then transferred my files over. They told me that if I still get Kernel Panics on this second machine to go ahead and do an Archive and Install or Full Install option.
Until Time Machine is out, what is the best backup method for keeping all files and settings if you want to do a complete new install and format?
Does anyone think a brand new install will fix this? Also, this machine is getting a lot less KP's than the previous Santa Rosa MBP got. Any ideas why?
Here is my panic.log below. Does anyone have any ideas what this Unresolved Kernel Panic Means?

Hi Kaleb,
I got a similar problem with my MacBook Pro. Kernel panic with Airport atheros driver. My router is Linksys WRT300n. A brand new install didn't fix the problem. This is the panic.log of the most recent KP.

Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 15" • 120GB HD • 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

HT2497 I updated my macbook pro to mountain lion, and now I have issues connecting to my airport extreme it states that it can not find a IP address. Is there a firmware update that could resolve this

I am looking for the updated wireless utility or updated firmware for my airport extreme.

The maximum OSX for a 2007 17" MBP is Lion, 10.7.5. stedman1 is correct.
Ciao.

Which version macbook pro is this? and how much ram?

Hi Everybody!
I just bought this 2.4ghz core 2 duo macbook pro 2nd hand:-)
It's probably the mid 2007 version. It's annonced with a max RAM upgrade of 3 gb, but it's to cheap to buy 4gb (2x2)!!
How does it work? Does OSX used the last gig of ram from 3-4gb? or it is just a waste of money?
I use my macbook pro for normal use, and production in logic pro.
Thanks!
Kasper

Yes, it's the Santa Rosa chipset. And yes, you have an LED backlit display and the faster frontside bus (that will read 800 MHz in System Profiler).
The MBP chipsets are:
• Core Duo - clock speeds of 1.83, 2.0 or 2.16 GHz
• Core 2 Duo - clock speeds of 2.16 or 2.33 GHz (2.0 GHz C2D chips are only in MBs, not MBPs)
• Core 2 Duo "Santa Rosa" - clock speeds of 2.2, 2.4 or 2.6 GHz, with a 4 MB L2 cache
• Core 2 Duo "Penryn" - clock speeds of 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 GHz, with 3 or 6 MB L2 cache
+Feel free to tune out for this part, the info you need is above.+
I'm using the terms "Santa Rosa" and "Penryn" as they are commonly used on these boards. "Santa Rosa" actually refers to a combination of the Merom-refresh CPU chip with other chips for graphics/wireless (i.e. it's a platform, not a chip, and thus was technically never in an MBP because only the Merom-refresh chip was used, not the whole platform - but the original C2Ds were Merom-based, and "Santa Rosa" sounds better than "Merom-refresh", I suppose). Merom chips (like the Yonah Core Duo chip) were made with the 65 nm process, whereas Penryn is the successor to Merom and is made with the newer 45 nm process.

I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.

I just created a slideshow dvd in imovie, and when I hit finalize it said that it would take 7 hours to finalize. I've only had my macbook pro for 6 months, and this is the first imovie I've done...is this normal? If not how can I speed up this process?

Hi
Time needed can depend on several things.
• less than 5 GB free space on Start-up (Mac OS) hard disk = Redicolous long times AND a DVD that most probably will not work OK
Medicine - I never go under 25GB free space
• Use of strange file formats into iDVD - can force it to de-code first then re-encode - this can take long long times
I use
Video - StreamingDV as from miniDV tape Cameras - or QuickTime Movies Converted to StreamingDV
Audio - .aiff 16-bit 48 kHz - (no .mp3, .wma etc)
• Use of old Mac - My G4 600MHz took about 24 hour per hour movie. my dG5 - about 2 hours per hour (I use Pro Quality encoding)
• Pro Quality encoding - takes about x2 to process a movie

I just got my macbook pro a week ago and i was told that i will get the os x lion a week ago i was told that i can get it for free, is this true and if so how do i get it

i just got my macbook pro a week ago and i was told that i will get the lion for free, if this is true, then how do i get it.

Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots

My Macbook pro has slowed considerably and spinning beach ball appears lots recently.
After I installed 10.5.7 it started happening. When I open anything including system prefs and apple apps the ball appears. I'm on 10.5.8 and it seems to be either as slow or slower. Startup is a bit faster now, but it'll go to the beach ball before I even do anything remotely intensive on the system.
My computer is almost 3 years old but I don't install any weird software on it and have 30% of my system disk free. I'm an audio guy and use logic, pro tools and generally keep my computer clean.
I've tried starting another user account to check if its my original user that has the issue, but thats just as slow too.
Please help...
Thanks
Oh yeah, I repaired disk permissions too but it hasn't seemed to have changed anything

Thanks for the reply Dale.
I have just tried that and Disk Utility said my MAc HD appears to be ok....????
So I don't really understand what else I can do...
I tried using Onyx a couple of months ago but it seemed to make things worse and more temperamental.
If there is a next level of solutions I could try it would be much appreciated.
This is what appears when I verify or repair the permissions... I doesn't change if I repair them though.....

Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ? I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor. At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on. I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable. If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes. It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?

My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS? The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper. Appreciate any guidance.

The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion. The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip. You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

Macbook Pro alternates running smoothly and lagging

My macbook pro will run smoothly for a bit, then lag for about 20 seconds, then run smoothly again. This keeps repeating. It began very suddenly. Any ideas on what could fix this? I tried the repair disk and safe boot methods but they havent helped.
