Missing Windows 8 disk partition in my Macbook(2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

I was using Windows 8 for the last year or so and suddenly
while booting I could not see the windows disk partition in the computer.
How to resolve the situation

DDR stands for Double Data Rate, the original DDR had a speed of 266MHz, double the rate of the previous memory standard of SDRAM which ran at 133MHz. DDR2 and then DDR3 are the successors of DDR. To avoid fitting the wrong type of module they use different memory slots and will only fit the one they were designed for, by way of slots cut in the memory boards at precise positions which correspond to notches in the memory slots.
If you want to know what memory will fit which computer I would go to the Crucial website and use their online Memory Advisor, put in the brand and model, it will tell you exactly which modules fit it and what kits (if any) Crucial have available for it.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
Ciao.

Refurbished MacBook 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Black

Hello,
I am a prospective Macbook buyer. I have recently become interested in buying a refurbished Macbook (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Black). The macbook I was watching on the website must have been bought becuase it is not posted on the website anymore.
My question is, does Apple repost more refurbished macbooks after they have been bought or am I out of luck in buying one?
Here is the link to the computer I was looking at:

2.4Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 MacBook. Upgrade to 4GB Ram???????

Hello all. First Post. Was just curious and wanted to make sure that I could upgrade my computer with 4GB of Ram.
My other question is will I see a noticeable difference in the performance of my computer? I do a lot of music editing, photo editing, and video editing. So will I able to tell??
And just to let you all know. I just bought my MacBook about a month ago. My first mac ever, and I have to say that I will never go back.

Yes - 2 x 2 GB is the max for the latest MacBooks. You might not notice a huge difference depending on your use, but it does give you peace of mind that you aren't missing out with some memory hungry applications.
I have 4 GB, and I've tried all sorts of things (some insane tests with multiple applications open and running) and haven't noticed more than maybe 2.5GB being used. Perhaps your applications are more memory intensive.

I'm running OS10.6.8 on an "old" Macbook Pro with Intel Core Duo 32. My work computer is down and I need to use Photoshop and cannot find a version that will run on here! It lets me use Illustrator 10, Indesign CS6, but Photoshop 4, 5, 5.5 and I can't get

Please help.

Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
System requirements | Photoshop
You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:

Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times.

Macbook 2.0 intel core duo ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS HELP PLS

This all started last week. In an effort to be more economical, I decided to keep my macbook and not get a new one. The battery was not doing well...so i bought a new one. I purchased Leopard and tried to install it...it installed but after it just stayed stuck on the gray apple screen. I tried troubleshooting. I reinstalled Tiger that came with it and it had the same problems. Anyways...a couple days ago I tried to reinstall Tiger again and it started working. I have been having problems with the rainbow wheel coming up all the time...so I figured maybe the ram is bad. I ordered new ram from crucial. I got it today and installed it and now the macbook will not even power up. I followed the troubleshoot guidelines and even installed the old ram again nothing.
So, I'm stuck. Is the logic board again? I had it replaced like 7 months after getting the macbook and now it is out of warranty. Please help. Thanks

Martin,
Since you say it worked to some degree but then not at all after installing new RAM and then after reinstalling the old RAM it would not even work as well as it had prior to the RAM installs, then it sounds like one possibility could be that the logic board is failing do to cracked circuit traces (caused by thermal cycling) and the removing and reinstalling the RAM exacerbated the problem.
The next thing I would try to do would be to cool down the computer to 50F or so and try it. Next try heating it up to 90F or so and try again. The temperature changes can affect a defective logic board. Not that this will solve your problem, but it can tend to validate the possibility of a defective board.

Problem with 2010 Macbook Pro 13'' 2.4GHZ Intel Core Duo 4GB RAM

Hi everyone, i use a 13'' macbook pro for work, and it has been flickering from time to time (a lot), everytime i go to the dock, especially when im using Pages 09. I recorded a video of it on youtube. Can you please help me to see if this is normal, or should i talk here at work for them to get it fixed or exchanged. Thanks
Here is the link:

Also, from time to time, the macbook pro freezes, and it just sits there, i cant use the trackpad, keys, nothing... it doesnt even respond to closing and opening the lid, i always have to hard-restart/reset it.
It has already happened like 4 or 5 times since i got it (about 3 months).
Just wanted to add that up.

Talk to whom ever you need to to get it fixed.

Windows 8 partition on a MacBook Pro

I've managed to install a Windows 8 partition on my MacBook Pro. When I retired I wanted to dish Windows completely, however there are still a couple of applications that I do need Windows for. When running in Windows mode on my MacBook I can't connect (or even find) any WiFi networks. Also, although it is of no consequence the time is out by one hour (altering the daylight saving settings makes it out by two hours). Before I try unistalling and reinstalling Windows could anyone advise whether i would be better just giving up and getting a cheap PC to run my Windows rubbish on?
Thanks,
John

Have you installed the Windows support software in Windows? You need it to make the MacBook run correctly.
As you are using Windows 8, start in OS X by holding the X key while your Mac is starting, and download the Windows support software > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638 Then, follow the steps on the website to burn it to a USB drive.
After doing this, start in Windows, connect the USB drive and install the drivers

Windows 7 RC Build 7100: No Audio on MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo)

On Thursday, I installed the brand new Windows 7 RC Build 7100 on my MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo). This version of Windows seems to be zippy and far more polished than Vista: boot time is much, much faster. So my main problem is this: I can't get sound to work at all. In the Device Manager, the audio device is banged out and shows as a "High Definition Audio Device" rather than AC'97 or whatever it's supposed to be. If I check the properties, under status it says, "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried to installing the drivers from RealTek about a zillion times, the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard install disc and I've run all the little setup programs as Administrator and in Vista compatibility mode, but no luck. Has anyone else had any luck in getting the Windows 7 (7100) to run on an early model MacBook Pro with working audio? Thanks!

Can't speak for MacBook, but for the desktop Mac Pro, the audio issue with Windows 7 install on boot camp is a known issue. You probably need to install the Realtek driver from your leopard install disk. It worked for me. Fixed the audio in about 5 minutes.
Try this:
while running windows 7
Insert 10.5.4 or later Leopard disk
Go to Boot camp folder
Locate the Realtek driver .exe file
Run it, it's an installer file
Restart.
Fixed my problem, similar to yours.

Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Windows install advice

I find myself after 20 years using mac's needing to run a windows program. I have Macbook pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if parallels or fusion works better on this machiene. Also i see some folks here feel Windows 7 is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
tks in advance for any advice
-R-

A lot of the answer really depends upon you and your usage.
VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop both work well, nad each ahs its strengths and weaknesses. I have used Fusion v3, 4, & 5, as well as Parlallels v 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. I got my first copy of Parallels when I got my first MacBook Pro as a bundle deal along with a Windows XP Pro license. For my usage, I find that Parallels seems to be more "efficient" (it runs a little faster) but Fusion seems to be a bit more stable, and supports a slightly broader collection of hardware peripherals. Luckily for you, both packages offer a free trial before you buy the software, so you can test them both to see which works best for you. You could also consider using VirtualBox (a free tool much like Fusion or Parallels), or even Boot Camp if you need the "raw power" of running the system in native mode with no emulation overhead.
As for What version of Windows you run, it would really depend upon what licenses you have, and what your Windows software requires. some Windows software still requires Windows XP, some requires Windows 7 or later. Since you didn't mention your Windows app, I can't say for it.
In the end, it depends upon you, what you want, what you need, and what you are willing to pay for.

Macbook Pro intel core duo, will not boot to anything.

Greetings, I am currently having issues with my MacBook Pro. I get the flashing folder with the ?, but I can't boot to any of the startup utilities. I have tried all that I have read about on other posts, such as, trying to boot with the C key held down (it just gets to the folder ?), booting to disk utility didn't work ( held down keys and it went to the folder ?), I also tried getting to the hardware test, by holding D and having the applications disk in. And still everything I try gets me to the flashing folder ?. Also I do have the CD's that came with the laptop and tried to install from the mas os install CD and still get to the flashing folder ?. The reason it started doing this was because of this...... I had boot camp installed and was running dual boot with windows 7, then I had deleted the mac osx on the drive so I would only be using windows 7. I wanted to reformat the drive after this, but had a hard time finding out a way to actually do this, as the MacBook unlike PC's, doesn't have any BIOS, and at that time didn't know all the key commands to use at startup. So I downloaded a program from the net that can run at windows start and delete the HD before the computer fully boots windows 7. So after I deleted the HD I could not install any program or start any of the mac utilities at startup, and I did the PRAM reset, still everything that I try it gets me to the flashing folder ?, in the end. Could I have deleted all of the startup utilities when I wiped the HD? If so how can I get these back on my MacBook pro if I can't get the MacBook pro to read any files or start up utilities? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I found a way to download firmware, I thought that it could be the reason I get the flashing folder with ?, because maybe I somehow damaged the firmware on my computer when I did the reformat. Alas I followed the directions to re-install the firmware and still I get to the same flashing folder. I used FirmwareRestorationCD1.4 I think it is the one I needed for my model, MacBook Pro 15" intel core 2 duo, and comes with osx 10.5 leopard I think, the OSX CD is stamped 2008 for 15" MacBook Pro. I can't check the properties of my MacBook because it has no programs on it, but this is what I think it is from memory and deduction. Well now I guess I have to ask the question, is the firmware the programs installed such as disk utility, and recovery mode? I need to read more I guess, and also I thought I needed to take the 1.4 off the end of the FirmwareRestorationCD in order for it to work, but the instructions for making and using the firmware CD is a bit vague. Another factor in this to make things more difficult, is that this computer is my second computer and it's a PC laptop, so I used a program download from the net to write .dmg files to disk, it's called Transmac, could this be another fault in my creation of the CD? I am out of ideas again as to what I need to do to get mac OSX back on my computer, I am still a bit new to the way macs work, so I could definatley use some advice. thanks.
