thanks for helping!

The new CPU's provide better performance clock speed for clock speed. (So they get the same performance out of a little lower GHz.) The clock speed does not wholly indicate the performance of the CPU.
If you are comparing the new model to the previous model MBP, the new CPU's are a bit better. (But just a little. They aren't anything to get too excited about until the next generation of them comes out later this year.)

  • How do I transfer files from my old MacBook Pro to my New MacBook Pro?

    I am trying to transfer some files, not all, from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried to use Migration Assistant, but it doesn't let me choose what I want to transfer (only generic things like "users" and "files and folders"). I have tried to use Firewire. Now here is the funny thing. When I put my old mac in target mode it doesn't appear on my new mac anywhere. But, when I put my new mac in target mode, it pops right up on the dashboard and in finder. The problem is I have tried using my new mac as the target and just place the files into the icon, but the don't stay after I eject. I get a prompt that says downloading and when all files and apps are transferred I turn off my new mac then turn it back on and nothing. I've done search after search and repeated this process 3 times and nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

    Time Machine will not "overwrite". New back ups are added to what is there, without erasing.
    Connect the Time Machine back up, double click on the icon and navigate through its contents - the back ups are chronological, so you just select the date then go through the contents just like on any other drive. You can select any files you want and drag and drop on the new Mac's desktop (or anywhere else).

  • Can mid 2011 macbook air use early 2011 macbook pro's RAM?

    I just upgraded my macbook pro's ram from 4gb to 8gb.
    Can I put my stock early 2011 mbp's ram into a mid 2011 macbook air?

    No. The MacBook Air's RAM isn't upgradable, except when configuring a model in the online Apple Store.

    1. The scrolling, as far as I've been able to determine, is by using the slide bar to the right of most diplays. There are no up or down arrows that allow slow movement
    2. The top and botton toolbars are not visible. The top one appears when you point the arrow to the top of the screen but the same doesn't work well if at all pointing the cursor to the bottom.
    3. When downloading, something jumps to the upper right of the screen. I could point and click it and get a diplay if my downloads. I was attempting to fix some of the above. Now the little thing jumps off the screen and I can't get to it.
    4I was trying to installMacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.3. I got message it couldn't be installed on my system.
    5. The red yellow and blue bullets that allow shutting down, minimizing and maximizing are missing on most open windows.
    Can you do something about these problems
    It's problematical that one can't communicate directly with Apple to resolve these problems
    <Edited By Host>

    1: I'm scrolling this page right now using the arrow keys.
    2: Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Select Apple menu > Dock > Turn Hiding Off.
    3: ???
    4: That's because you downloaded an update for another model.
    5: See 2.

  • HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

    how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,
    Sara

  • HT3224 What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

    What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Hi can anyone tell me if the macbook A1278 (5,1) is a pro??

    Hi can anyone tell me if the macbook A1278 (5,1) is a pro?

    No, it was part of the MacBook line. But in Mid 2009 the 13" Aluminum Unibody was folded into the MacBook Pro line. The difference is mainly in the ports on the left hand side.

  • I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine.  I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

    I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option?  I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt!  Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours???  I've been hearing these horror stories...

  • Should I sell my MacBook Air to get a MacBook Pro?

    Currently I have a MacBook Air Mid 2011 with the following specs:
    Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Hard Drive: 250GB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    I originally put up an add to sell it for 950$ since it's from 2011. I wasn't sure if this was a good price or not but that's besides the point. I got an offer and I have the option to sell it now. The reason I would be selling it is because I would upgrade to a new 2013 MacBook Pro. I'm currently a student going into 1st year of University. Since I'm a student I can get the new MacBook Pro for only $999.00 so I wouldn't have to spend too much money upgrading which is good. The only thing I wasn't sure of is if this is even an upgrade I should consider.
    Here are the specs of the 2013 MacBook Pro:
    Processor: 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Memory: 4GB 1600MHz memory
    Hard Drive: 500GB
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000
    I don't know much about specs so I don't really know if a 1.8 Ghz Intel Core i7 is better than a 2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5 or not. The program I'm going into doesn't involve a super high powered computer, but I do have one elective which is Computer Science which might require a high powered computer.
    Anyways, I just wanted to upgrade because sometimes when I'm watching Netflix or YouTube videos that my MacBook Air tends to struggle sometimes. It gets very hot at the top left of the keyboard. It's not like the laptop lags or anything but it can get VERY hot. I try to keep the fan uncovered but I feel like there might be a big dust build up or something because it never did this when I first got it.
    I'm also wondering if it'll be more convenient having a MacBook Air. I can get the brand new MacBook Air for $1049 which is only 50$ more than the Pro, but I imagine the pro is more for my money and my MacBook Air might even be faster than the newest MacBook Air.
    Anyways any tips would be nice because I have a week to make my decision so thanks to anyone who is willing to help me out!

  • Can i use macbook pro hard drive in macbook?

    My son's 2007 Macbook hard drive died, and to replace it i have a hard drive that was pulled unused from a 2010 Macbook Pro. I noticed that the new drive is all ready to go, at the Welcome screen (it was pulled for a hard drive upgrade before it was ever used), OS 10.6.4 installed.
    Is there any reason i can't just use this hard drive in the Macbook as-is, without reinstalling the system?
    I do have both the Macbook's original install disks and a Snow Leopard upgrade disk, but it'd save a lot of time to not have to do a whole erase/install/upgrade series.
    Are there system-specific system install differences between Macbook Pro and Macbook (or between 2007 and 2010), or can they run each other's drives?
    the Macbook originally shipped with 10.4.8, if that makes a difference.
    I booted the Pro drive in the Macbook, and it seems to run fine, but want to double-check before i sell this machine (he meanwhile bought a new one).

    It should work fine.

  • How can I transfer information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro?

    How can I transfer information information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? Does anyone have an answer because I spoke to 2 people at Apple & both sent me the wrong cables.....

    Did they mention Migration Assistant?  You can use MA with FireWire, limit is the speed of the older unit.  MA will guide you and allow you to choose what to transfer.

  • I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

    I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

  • Can a Mac Pro boot off a MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode?

    Summary: "Are you able to boot a Mac Pro off of a Mac Book Pro in Target Disk Mode?" OR "Will a Mac Pro boot off an OS X install that was made on a MBP?"
    Details:
    I'm finishing a music project that was created on a PPC G5 Quad computer and going to a studio in Santa Monica to complete the final mixdown. My 3rd party software plug-in configuration is unique, and the studio doesn't have all of the software instruments that I do on their 8 core mac pro. My G5 software installation is mirrored to my MacBook Pro, but the MBP doesn't have enough CPU power to play the project back.
    Is it feasible to have the studio's 8 core Mac Pro boot from my MacBook Pros hard drive? Essentially, we'd be using my OS and software on their powerful CPU / hardware. I figure, since they are both Intel builds of OSX, this should be do-able.
    I don't have access to the Mac Pro until I show up to start working.
    Thanks for any input / suggestions!

    The MacBook Pro boots fine in 10.5.8, and loads the Logic project without any faults. The only issue is that a CPU shortage occurs when you attempt to play the sequence.
    Like you suggested, I performed separate UB installations of all the needed software on the MBP solely so I could move Logic projects from one computer to the next without a hitch. (Actually, DropBox does this for me). Migration assistant was not employed in this process due to the PPC / Intel issues you noted.
    I didn't need to mention the G5 as it appears to have caused some confusion based on Kappy's reply, but I did want to explain my work flow thoroughly.
    It sounds like booting the MacPro from my MBP is feasible. I'll mark this topic 'solved' and head over to the studio tonight. I'll post here any anomalies from the session (if any).
    THANKS~!
