Macbook Pro 2010 won't F update

i got given a 4gb macbook pro 2010 for christmas. its running on version 10.7.5
i tried updating it to Mavericks from the app store but i dont hav enough memory,
i have also tried searching for new updates but it cant fin any,
when i try and buy an item from the app store it says that os x 10.9 and above is required.
how do i find an update to satisfy this?
HELP

OS X Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store, so do it.
If you get a message telling you that you do not have enough memory, it is because you do not have enough free space on the hard drive to install OS X Mavericks, so you need to delete files or move them to an external drive.
In order to get free space, see > http://thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html Once you have enough free space, download OS X Mavericks and upgrade, so you will be able to install all applications that require OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

My MacBook Pro 2010 won't update from 10.6.8 to 10.9

Recently I tried updating my MacBook Pro 2010 13 inch from osx 10.6.8 to osx 10.9.
On the mavericks installer my hard drive is greyed out and when I try to click on it to install mavericks it just says "you cannot install osx to this harddrive". My specs are 4 GB of ram, 2.4ghz processor, 250 GB harddrive with 249 GB of free spaces.
Please help!

How is the drive formatted and what is the Partition Table set to. If you have a format of "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case sensitive" or the Partition Table is set to anything other than GUID that might be the reason Mavericks won't install. Not really sure but check that out.
Other than that you could backup you Mac with time machine, wipe the drive, actually repartition it with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) [NO Case Sensitive] and a partition table of GUID and do a clean install of Snow Leopard, Update that to 10.6.8 then upgrade to Mavericks use Migration assistant to restore your files setting and apps.

Macbook Pro 2010 won't recognise Dell Ultrasharp 2312hm

Hi
Desperate for help
Have purchased a Dell Ultrasharp 2312HM
I have connected it to my macbook pro 6.2 2010 (Serial Number (system): W8******AGW) via DVI cable and DVI to mini displayport connector at the mac end)
I have selected DVI input on the monitor but it just says no computer detected and goes into sleep mode
At the mac end of things, the macbooc screen flashes blue momentarily then goes back to normal.
In display preference on the mac, clicking the 'Detect displays' button has no effect whatsoever.
So in summary, the monitor is on and wired up to mac, but mac isnt detecting it
There was an identical issue from someone else back in 2012 and a long thread. I don't believe the person ever got it sorted.
...oh and Dell don't provide any support for this and say it's not compatible, but I can see from numerous threads that others have it working perpectly.
2 things I've thought of...the dell monitor instructions says it comes with a white DVI cable. Mine is black that was in the box.
I purchased a fairly cheap DVI to mini displayport adaptor on Ebay. Could this be duff? (the seller only had positive feedback)
Help before I go mental!
thank you!

Macbook Pro 2010 won't boot

So I was using my MBP 2010 15" i7, I left the lid open and walked to the fridge to get something to eat. By the time I got back, the screen is black and the computer was off. I thought maybe it ran out of battery, so I plugged the power supply in and pressed the power button. The indicator on the magsafe stays green, even though I know it isn't fully charged. The computer will not make a noise or display anything, except the sleep indicator light which sort of blinks and cuts off sharply about 2 times per second. I have tried using a different outlet, and leaving it to charge for a while, but it still just won't turn on. I have read something about this saying the the RAM may have become dislodged or something similar, but I have never opened the case of the laptop, and i'm not sure if I would be confident touching intricate pieces of machinery like that. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

It's highly unlikely that this would have anything to do with your RAM, especially if you haven't ever opened the case.
You should try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple, as it sounds like you may have had a hardware failure of some kind.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

My laptop macbook pro 2010 froze while i was installing its latest update what should i do ?

Shutdown then restart if possible. If you do restart OK, then try the update again after doing this:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

09 macbook pro, after 10.6.6 update won't wake from sleep without power

Hey, weird thing going on here. After I updated to 10.6.6 on my '09 Macbook Pro it won't wake from having the lid closed unless the power is plugged in. I've tried closing the lid with the power still plugged in, and unplugging it before I close the lid. If I leave he power plugged in it works fine. If I unplug it after I've closed the lid, or even BEFORE I close the lid (and give it time to calculate battery life and everything) it turns off like it was a out of battery and I have to hold the power button down to make it wake, then it does the blurred out screen with the progress bar at the bottom (like recovering from low battery), but eventually comes back. The battery indicator on the bottom shows it has a nearly full battery when this is happening. I've tried adjusting sleep and power/energy saving settings but nothing has fixed it.... anyone got some ideas? It never did this before the 10.6.6 update
Thanks!

Im having the same issue.
Seems to have happened just after 10.6.6 upgrade
Battery only has 80 cycles on it and shows full charge
i dont get the hybernate wakeup screen, but shuts down promptly after unplugged, and wont startup without power.
Tried:
*SMC RESET-holding power without battery in for over 5 seconds...no change
*P RAM RESET-holding commandoption+pr during startup... no change
*Installed applejack and ran all options... worked... for about 20 minutes then shutdown
*Changed sleep settings...battery settings...hibernating settings...
im outta ideas....

So ML's new airplay functionality won't work on a Macbook Pro 2010?

Was there anything in the advertisements for the new Airplay functionality via ML that it wouldn't apply to any machines prior to 2011?
Am I just missing something about how to enable it, or is my MacBook Pro 2010 really unable to make use of the mirroring functionality?
I have this sinking feeling that I've been hosed

to say the least, DIS-appointing.
Apple's done a better job in the past of identifying which machines would work with software upgrades. I suppose I missed the fine print, but since this kind of functionality would be highly coveted, it would've served Apple to make more prominent in their descriptions this issue.

Lion Login gives me Beach Ball lock up - Macbook Pro 2010

Ever since i updated my Macbook Pro 2010 15 i7 to lion, when i turn it on and it comes to the log in screen (i need it password protected for turning on), the beach ball just spins and it wont let me type my password in.
I ran disk permissions, i made sure my HD wasnt over loaded, ram has been in there since i got the mbp. I reset the pram once it let me in, then later on the mbp crahsed on me and it told me to restart it. I did and the beach ball came back on the log in. I powered down and reset the pram and still i got a beach ball at log in. Powered down again and it let me type my password half way then beach ball. Powered down again and then it let me type my whole password.
Have to say this is becoming a hassle, anyone have any ideas? or is it best to just go back to Snow Leapord?

I'm having the same problems on a 2011 iMac i7.
It won't let me type in my password - the spinning beachball is there instead.
It only happens to me when I leave my iMac locked for long periods of time.

IPhone 4S not wifi syncing with Macbook Pro (2010, Mountain Lion)

Subject pretty much says it all: I can't get my iphone 4S to wifi sync with my Macbook Pro (2010, running Mountain Lion). All relevant pieces have been updated (latest OS on laptop and device, latest iTunes, etc.). wifi sync did work at some point but now simply won't; the device does not show up in iTunes, and trying to manually start a sync from the device just leave it looking for my laptop forever.
A little Google digging did make reference to trying to kill "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" and restarting iTunes. I have noticed that AppleMobileDeviceHelper is not running...should it be? I've even tried manually starting it and it doesn't seem to work. I dug through Console looking for references to it in logs and didn't find anything.
Any suggestions/ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

MacBook Pro (2011) Won't Charge Without Restart

Hi guys, I searched the forums for this problem but couldn't find a match. When I plug the power cable into my 2011 17" MacBook Pro it won't take a charge and the light on the cable doesn't come on. However if I restart the computer, the light will come on and it will start charging. This sounds like a software issue to me and I haven't had the problem until recently so I'm guessing it's caused by the latest OS X update. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue and found a fix?

Macbook Pro 2010 keeps freezing and restarting

Hi.
Last few days I have problems with my macbook pro 2010 model, running latest OS and all software. I have problems with freezing very often. Screen turns to black and after few seconds it restarts automaticly. It happens when I try to open iPhoto, surf the web (scrolling quickly). I have tried to restore OS to older state from Time Machine, but didn't help. It also shows this report:

Anyone knows what this happens or what coud be problem? I suspect my HDD, cos it always happens when the HDD is reading, or it could be RAM problem? But why now? I didn't change anything lately (only systen updates last week).
Please help. Thanks

Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????

Hi I've just bought a Macbook pro (2010) I bought it as I needed an older one running snow leopard. Its running on 10.6.4 but I need it with 10.6.1 or 10.6.2, does anyone know if I can install 10.6.1 or 2 on my Macbook??????
This is because I have a copy of Protools I want to run on it and it has to be 10.6.1 or 10.6.2
Help I'm desperate!!

The 2010 MBPs came installed with either 10.6.3, or 10.6.4 later in their lifespan. Earlier versions of the OS may not have the correct drivers for the Mac's hardware.
Ultimately, you might be better off upgrading your copy of Pro Tools, or updating the Mac to Yosemite and running Logic Pro X.
