  • Macbook pro mid2010 model upgrade

    I have a macbook pro mid2010 model that I'm going to upgrade it. I'm wondering how I can change things like adding a hard drive ssd. . What are the best options?
    thank you so much

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The only things you can upgrade in a MacBook Pro are the memory and the hard drive, so you can upgrade them if you want more performance or if you note that you haven't got enough memory to run your apps.
    First of all, a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 8 GB of memory, so you can buy more RAM in OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
    Respecting to the hard disk, SSDs are much faster than HDDs, so you can try installing one > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/ If you think that they are too expensive, you can also install a 7200 rpm HDD, which will provide you more performance > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

  • How do I use my serial number to find information about my MacBook Pro's Processor and RAM?

    So I want to find information about my MacBook Pro's processor and RAM using the serial number because the MacBook no longer works. I remember being able to find this information on the apple website before, maybe by using the coverage checker. Did they take this information out of the coverage checker? Is it no longer possible for a costumer to obtain this information?

    Append the last three characters of it to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
    This won't reveal how much RAM it currently has installed.

    I upgraded my macbook pro from OS Lion to OS Mavericks. When unplugged, it heats up exceedingly and the battery life is extremely short. What to do?

    Installation of the new OSX is very heavy hdd load, in addition spotlight reindexes all the files on your computer - it may be a few hours. If in the future will be the same macbook hot, you should contact your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    May be required to clean notebook cooling system.
    You can also install any monitoring utility sensors to your mac  such as Hardware Monitor  and look at the value of the temperature sensors.

  • Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB

    I bought a macbook pro 10.6.8 a long time ago and It's working wonderful. I couldn't be happier how fast it is comparing to any other windows computers that I have used in the past. As mather of fact, I have 2 Desktop and 2 Laptops.
    I'm a programmer / Web Designer and a Social Media Expert and I was hoping someone can actually enlighten me with some advices regarding this type of mac when it comes to upgrades.
    I use a lot of Adobe Programs those days and or some Video Production that require a lot of memory. I was happy with everything untill I decided to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB. Right now those are my computer specifications:
      Model Name:
    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:
    MacBookPro7,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:
    1
      Total Number Of Cores:
    2
      L2 Cache:
    3 MB
      Memory:
    4 GB
      Bus Speed:
    1.07 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:
    MBP71.0039.B0B
      SMC Version (system):
    1.62f6
      Serial Number (system):
    34******ATM
      Hardware UUID:
    I decided to go ahead and buy 8GB or RAM from Amazon. I was very excited when I got them and decided to finally upgrade and this is what happend:
    If I pull out the 2 memory sticks of 2GB each and remplace them with the new 4GB Stick each the computer froze. It restart and does not get pass the gray screen with the thing spinning for about 2 minutes before it froze.
    If I only pull out one (1) Memory stick of 2GB and remplace it with 4GB, the computer works fine and it restart with no problems and I get 6 GB. After doing the Memtest, everything seems to be functioning properly. But the computer is not any faster nor I see any difference at all.
    The only combination that does not function is if I use both 4GB RAM each then as I said it froze. I even called CORSAIR " The place I bought my RAM from and explain to them the ptoblem and they end up sending me another version of the 4GB but it's still the same problem " Frozen ".
    A guy I've been talking to had the same issue and end up using 16GB and he told me that his Macbook pro works perfect with the combination of two (2) 8GB RAM together. Doesn't make any sens to me but it still works.
    If anyone has encounter a similar problem would you please comment? Thank you all very much!

    Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
    The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
    10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
    Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

    However it might be worth reading this article in The Register about Apple not using standard temperature sensing methodology  - see

  • My Apple TV is not mirroring my Macbook Pro after I installed OS X Mavericks

    My Apple TV is not mirroring my Macbook Pro after I installed OX X Mavericks?

    Installing Maverick does not change the hardware requirements.
    Did it work prior to installing Maverick?
    Does the device meet the hardware requirements?

  • MacBook Pro very high overall RAM usage

    Hi, I'm using a late 2012 13" MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and a dual core i7 and I've been experiencing very high RAM usage for the last couple of weeks even though I'm not really doing anything. Here's a activity monitor screenshot
    As you can see I'm only really using Chrome and Sublime Text (3). Twitter and Outlook are also open but don't take up that much (Twitter maybe but that just seems to be badly optimised and it's all gone when I close it).
    So, is this normal?
    Thanks in a

    This is normal. The two most important things in that screenshot are 'Swap Used' (0 means you never ran out of RAM) and the Memory Pressure graph (everything green = good). For the rest the OS knows to handle RAM,

  • I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8  gb ram is pretty enough?

    I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8  gb ram is pretty enough?
    Thanks for support.

    8 GB may be sufficient for CAD but 16 would be a much better idea.
    All the Macs I have ever owned were eventually upgraded to the maximum amount of memory they could use. Considering that as of now, the RAM you specify is all the RAM you will ever have, get as much as you can. That is the only way to maximize its economic life.
    If Apple offered a 32 GB version I'd get it.

    can i self upgrade my macbook pro with retina display ram?

    To answer a little more directly - no. RAM on the Retinas is not connected through standared SODIMM slots, but connected directly to the logic board.

    Your Mac is too old
    To Airdrop between a Mac an iOS device
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

    Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

    It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
    If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
    Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...
