  • Comformation of Core Duo-based MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path

    In an attempt to shorten these threads concerning MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path using Apple's (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) Part #'s MA688Z/B or MA688Z/A (The only difference between the two part numbers appears to be that Part # MA688Z/B come with the new Airport Extreme Base Station installation CD which includes the 'n' enabler.
    Both these cards have been proven to work in both MacBooks. While some have had trouble with the /A card it CLEARLY appears to be a preferences problem. (just repair the preferences prior to installing the card)
    Both cards require the Program Pacifist to install the enabler.
    Pacifist is a small program that opens up .pkg installer packages and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package (for example, if you deleted Sherlock and need to reinstall it, but not the whole operating system), if you experience bugs in Installer.app that mess up your symbolic links, or if you just like a little more control over the installation process.
    It can be downloaded free here. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812
    Open the enabler trough pacifist and click install. The program will place the items where they should be.
    Please post your results with these cards!!!!!!

    Here is my step by step MacBook Pro Core Duo 802.11n upgrade guide...
    http://xlr8yourmac.com/systems/macbookprowireless_N_upgrade/macbookpro_N_cardinstall.html#storytop
    The only correction I would make to this is, the stainless tension bars at the top left of the Airport card should not be screwed directly into the card itself, but into the single screw hole directly above the card on the left side with the tension arms angeled down toward the card thereby actually holding the card in place via the tension or presure exerted. The two additional screws that come with the replacement card are not needed if you had and original card in place. There should not be any screws directly holding the card in place. The tension springs arms are only there to hold the card flat. If left as in your photo there could be some inadvertant arcing of static elec. transmitted to the card. THIS only applies to the MacBook Pro as the MAcBook requires being attached by two screws!!!!
    /B Card: MacBook Pro--Courtesy of me: Same installeation as above,
    I have now tried both of the different suggestions of getting internal 802.11n on an original MacBook Pro described on this forum.
    1.) Dell internal 1500 Broadcom pci mini express card (Card Model # BCM94321MC), and
    2.) Apple Pro’s internal (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) New Part # MA688Z/B*
    As you can see, both cards contain the same model numbers and incidentally, both only have ‘TWO’ antenna post and fit into the same space the existing PCI mini ‘G’ airport card held. Each installation took less than 20 minutes. Of course the second one took less time than the first.
    I ordered the Dell card ($38 ebay) prior to learning about the Apple Pro card (Apple Store $43), however, both cards worked, performed, connected and were recognized equally well by the new ‘N’ AEBS. Both needed Pacifist for installation of the ‘N’ Enabler. Both cards show connection speeds at 130 in a mixed g/n environment, which appears normal per other post. Both cards performed identically with the new AEBS, except for the speed, as the original Apple 802.11 a/b/g card they replaced.
    I referred to both the http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/85.0.0.html and www.xlr8yourmac.com/ instructions for the disassembly of my MacBook Pro.

    seems to work. no driver problems or what ever!!

    Jean-Paul,
    You know the way I took out my AE card is the exact way I installed it. Do have a picture of the completed install you did?
    I was soooo careful when I performed this task. Is your MacBook Pro a 17"?
    That's what mine is. I am sure that is the difference between the two. I have the 15.2" Service Manual and I see the bracket is completly different then the 17".

  • Mid 2009 13" Macbook pro upgrade

    Hi!
    I have been using a 13" Macbook pro mid 2009 model since September 2009. It has been upgraded over the years - the HDD from 160 to 500 to 1000gb, the ram from 2 to 8gb (max-ed out).
    The thing is, the computer has become drastically slow - startup and opening apps. The ram usage most of the times hovers around 4-5gb and processor usage is around 15-85% so I guess the issue is with the HDD.
    Have been doing a lot of research and it seems SSD is the logical choice to go with to improve this. I would also go with the data doubler (china or india make, cheaper and does the job) as I would like to keep my music and images collection with me all the time and using an external disc maybe too slow due to the USB2.0 port.
    Few questions:
    I have some apps that start at login (I wanna keep it that way, coz of convenience) so the ssd would yet be quicker? Any feedback from users are welcome
    Im considering the Samsung Evo 120gb SSD (which should be adequate for the system files and work documents), any reviews or feedback on how good this drive is? preferably from users?
    Connecting a external hdd would be slow over usb 2.0 as compared to connected thru sata 2 (data doubler)?
    Having an SSD + HDD would impact the battery life right?
    Considering that it is gonna be about 5 years (this September) since I have bought the mac, would paying around 150-200$ be worth it now? Dunno how many OS X updates would support this machine? If I can get atleast 2 more years from this I would be happy? Otherwise I could sell this one for about $600 - $800 (in Bombay) plus put in more money and buy a new system. What are your thoughts? 
    Any views or thoughts would be more than welcome.
    Cheers!
    Aman

  • New macbook pro upgrades for iwork 08

    I just got a new macbook pro and transfered all my files from my old mac. Was able to upgrade iworks but still seem to have the old version of iworks 08... Should i reset my computer? Thanks a million!

    That is up to you; personally, I am continuing to use the older versions as the new ones have several functionality losses (and am ignoring the new versions for now until some of the functionalities are added back in). Having choices is a good thing. You don't have to reinstall - you can simply delete the old versions if you like.

  • Want to sell my MacBook Pro & upgrade

    Can anyone suggest a buyer for used MacBook pros? I want to sell my current one at a reasonable price and upgrade to the newer model. Also, any word on when a newer version of MacBook Pro will becoming out? Should I wait?

    Try selling it on Craigslist or eBay. No one but Apple knows when new hardware is going to be released.

  • Getting a new MacBook Pro, Upgrade to Logic Studio 9?

    Hey all. I'm getting a new Macbook Pro soon, and I was thinking of upgrading to Logic Studio 9. I own a legit retail edition copy of the previous Logic Studio (Pro 8), and I was thinking of just installing 9 on my new computer.
    What things will I need to do this upgrade? I still have the original box, with the manuals. Including the one booklet that has the serial number stickers on it.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the answers guys. It was running in my mind, especially this is the first time I'm doing a program upgrade like this. Thanks alot!

  • [2010 MacBook Pro Upgrades] High Prices?

    I'm not quite sure that this is what the forums are for, but there's nowhere else I could find to submit my question after 30 mins of searching.
    I have been saving up for the 15", 2.66GHz MacBook Pro for almost 1.5 years now, and my target price has always been roughly £1600.
    However, the recent upgrades have seen a £200 increase on the prices, but only for the UK. I have noticed that the US prices haven't really changed at all.
    Is there a reason behind this high pricing and is there a chance of the prices falling slightly over the next few months?

    There was an increase in the 15" models across the board, but have a look also at the change in the UK pound Sterling / US $ exchange rate changes in recent times, captain jones. Unfortunately the expected trend is for further weakening of the £ against $. I suspect this is a substantial part of the change.
    We saw similar changes in years gone by when the Aussie $ was not doing so well. The introduction of a GST over here a few years back also had an impact. Now that the Aussie is healthy again against the greenback there has been a significant reduction in price differentials between here and the US (though probably not quite getting us back to parity even when the GST is considered)

  • Which should I do due to my slow MacBook Pro--upgrade or add an Air?

    I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro. 2.3 GHz core, 4 GB RAM, HHD. It is SLOW. Tried a lot of things, but the bottom line is that we have to spend some money for it to work for us... switching accounts takes a lifetime. You can forget fully booting up iPhoto in less than a few minutes.
    So... which option should we go with? (Money is a huge concern, but I'd rather spend a little too much now than not enough now and more later.)
    Option 1: Using my education discount, get a MacBook Air for me, install the one big program I use with an external CD ROM, and otherwise use it solely for documents, email, and internet. Probably get the 11" and upgrade the RAM. (Is it worth an upgraded processor and bigger SSD?). The MacBook Pro becomes the "family computer," but I only ever access my account when I need to access my photos.
    Option 2: Upgrade the MacBook Pro, get a Samsung 840 Evo SSD installed. (Pay $150 for someone to do it... I'm not messing with it.) If I go with this option... is it worth spending extra for 500 GB instead of 250? And is it worth doubling the RAM from 4 to 8?
    I'm looking for the option that will mean the least amount of money over the next 4-5 year span... I don't want to go with option 2 then find out it wasn't good enough to last us more than another couple years and then have to get another computer anyways.

    Option 3: Identify the problem that's causing the machine to run slowly.
    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  • Family Tree Maker compatibility with MacBook Pro upgrades

    Blessings to those who are able to reply with possible answers.   I am sorry....but I have spent days working on getting my two USB ports to work also.  I basically use the USB ports for a wireless mouse and various flashdrives/memory sticks.  I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard 10.6.8  I have tried software update, SMC and PRAM resets, battery reset, hardware test, creating a new user account....and browsing and reading numerous discussion boards.....awgh!  I have stopped short of using my install DVD (fear of loosing data), upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion (some fear of loosing an application that might not be compatible  FAMILY TREE MAKER 2010  19.2.1.241), contacting an Apple Store (AppleCare or whatever--live 2 hours away + fear of expense), and of course, trashing the laptop.  Does anyone out there have any possible solutions?   I see I am not alone.  --A frustrated first-time Apple products owner.

  • Extremly slow Macbook pro. upgrade or change?

    Hello,
    I am using a macbook pro (late 2011) 2.4 Ghz, 512GB HD, 4 GB Ram with Mavericks.
    Lately it is going extremely slow and the software I am using (Finale, Ableton) are running badly and very slow.
    I am wondering what is best...to upgrade to 16GB Ram with 512GB SSD? or switching to a newer model?
    Also any ideas why it goes extremely slow sudenly? I tried erase and install recently, no change. Speed Disk test gives me 70MB/s Read 70MB/s write.
    thanks a lot

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • C2D MacBook Pro upgrade to 200 GB internal

    Several questions:
    1. Is it possible to upgrade to a 200 GB internal from a 160 GB drive. Could I take my computer to an Apple Store and have them do this
    2. How much practical difference will I see. Most of my work is photoshop and Aperture with referenced images on an external USB 2.0 drive?
    I have searched on the site but can not find clear answers.
    Thanks
    Steven

    I think what I am asking is an Aperture question...I currently store my images on an external 160 GB Western Digital drive as referenced files. When I have completed the majority of the work on a project that resides on my MacBook Pro/160GB external I can export it as a project to the 160 GB WD, take the 160 GB WD drive to my G5, import the project and now the G5 and my laptop have identical information.
    A week or two later, client calls and says "can you..and I will pay you $$$$" so I say ok..and start working on cleaning up and modifying images on my laptop. Now the data on the laptop and the G5 are different and I would like to make sure that they are the same, assuming I am now closing the project again.
    I am seeking options to make all of the new stuff gets over to the G5, which is my archival system primarily?
    1. I guess I could relocate the masters to my external 160 GB drive (getting the photoshop images off of my internal and freeing space up) AND also export the revised project consolidating the images to the 160 GB external. I could then go to my G5 computer with the 160 GB external, import the revised project and delete the original one. The revised project would be up to date and I would have no need for the original one to be archived. This would work if I had only 1 or 2 revised projects, but in fact there are about a dozen....and doing all of that exporting and deleting seems like a formula for disaster!!
    2. I think it may be possible to relocate all of the managed pictures to a special folder (call it Spring Clean up)onmy160GB external. I then could generate a new project called "Spring Clean up-2007", put a new album in the "Spring Clean up-2007" project (that way I don't move these pictures to a new project). I could then export "Spring Clean up-2007" Project, consolidating images, to the external 160 GB drive. Take the external, connect to the G5 and import "Spring Clean up-2007" Project. The pictures in the imported "Spring Clean.." project would have the full version and master data attached. At that point, I could just select the pictures in the Spring Clean Up Project and drag them back to the parent project on the G5 and presumably the master file and all the version changes would go back to the parent project. Of course I might have some duplicates but at least all the data would be there.
    Back to the laptop, I could remove all the images from the album in the project "Spring Clean up", thus leaving the masters and version data intact in the original projects and then I could use the relocate masters function to put whatever new masters existed in the original project folders
    thought and suggestions.. does anyone else work with a laptop and a desktop and how have they solved this problem?
    thanks

  • First Macbook Pro upgrade ram

    Hi,
    I have the first macbook pro 17" that came out.
    I have 2 gigs of ram in it at the moment, I was wondering if the 4GB ram will work with it? i.e. is it compatible and will it fit etc?
    Thanks

    Not likely.  Check the manual that came with the your MBP or if you don't have it go to the tech specs for prior generations of MBP's. in Apple support.  I have a 2.16 core due MBP which I suspect is a generation newer than what you have.  2GB is the max that can be installed.  At this point all you can upgrade is the hard drive.
    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro Upgrades

    Two Questions about upgrading a MBP, seeing i've never done this before, and i am considering doing it if i get a new one.
    I Was looking at possibly getting a new Macbook pro:
    15" High-Res Display
    2.5GHz Quad-Core i7
    4GB Ram
    1GB VRam
    750GB@5400 Hard-Drive
    and i was thinking of upgrading after i got instead of purchasing it with upgrades with
    16GB Ram
    600GB SSD
    They're linked to what i was looking at getting.
    The hard drive i no more or less will fit and will work and i would just have to get it formatted. but will the new 15" MBPs reckgonize and work with 16GB of ram, i'd really like to to both of these upgrades, and really the ram, because i do alot of photography work, and alot of video work. and i know if i need to get the hard drive formatted i can go to the genius bar and they can do it. i talked to one of them, i just had my current MBP's hard-drive replaced because it started to die.
    My Questions are i guess, will both of these upgrades work with a new 15" MBP. i've seen that replacing both of these in a MBP are very easy and simple.
    i know that doing this will mean that on my ram and on my hard drive that there wont be a warranty.
    If not i would consider getting it with 8GB preinstalled.
    Thank You.

    Don't purchase your RAM from Apple. For the cost of their 8GB's, you could almost purchase 16GB's from OWC. Also, unless you really need that 2.5, you could save even more money.
    Both of those upgrades i listed and hyperlinked were from OWC . i was hoping to get that 600GB SSD from OWC because the one that you can put in if you build on apples website only goes to 512GB. so that one is bigger, and for not much more. and yea i know about the ram its better to buy else where. but i was wondering if that 16GB ram would work.
    Thank you, eww.
    Two Questions about upgrading a MBP, seeing i've never done this before, and i am considering doing it if i get a new one.
    I Was looking at possibly getting a new Macbook pro:
    15" High-Res Display
    2.5GHz Quad-Core i7
    4GB Ram
    1GB VRam
    750GB@5400 Hard-Drive
    and i was thinking of upgrading after i got instead of purchasing it with upgrades with
    16GB Ram
    600GB SSD
    They're linked to what i was looking at getting.
    The hard drive i no more or less will fit and will work and i would just have to get it formatted. but will the new 15" MBPs reckgonize and work with 16GB of ram, i'd really like to to both of these upgrades, and really the ram, because i do alot of photography work, and alot of video work. and i know if i need to get the hard drive formatted i can go to the genius bar and they can do it. i talked to one of them, i just had my current MBP's hard-drive replaced because it started to die.
    My Questions are i guess, will both of these upgrades work with a new 15" MBP. i've seen that replacing both of these in a MBP are very easy and simple.
    i know that doing this will mean that on my ram and on my hard drive that there wont be a warranty.
    If not i would consider getting it with 8GB preinstalled.
    Thank You.

  • Macbook Pro upgrade fee?

    I just bought my new 13inch i5 Macbook Pro and I now realized that I need the extra power of the i7 2.7Ghz. Can I just waltz to the Mac store and exchange my Mac and $300 for an upgrade? Or do I have to buy a new Mac?
