Hi ..
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available spare
From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
You can purchase an iTunes gift card which can be redeemed and used to purchase Lion.
Choose your iTunes Gift Card - Apple Store
Gift cards can be redeemed by clicking Redeem under Quick Links right side of the App Store window.
Read BEFORE upgrading to Lion > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X version 10.6.4
You need to update your system software before you can download Lion.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update ...
When purchasing apps from the App Store including Lion, take into account the total purchase price may include any applicable taxes and fees.

  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) Crashes Every So Often

    I've been having issues with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) for several months now. I have Mountain Lion and every time I have several apps open it crashes and reboots. I took it to the Apple Store twice and both times they reinstalled the OS. I still have the problem. Here's the last report that was sent to Apple, please help:

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. 
    Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

  • HT1237 Searching for an EFI Firmware update to enable Lion Internet Recovery on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)

    Hi All,
    My Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch started having random kernel panics lately (more than 1 month of random kernel panics now), usually associated with request such as "open new tab in Safari" etc.
    Since I installed 2x4GB RAM modules from Crucial when I bought my MBP (they are +- 2 years old now) and also exchanged my DVD-drive for an extra SSD that now runs the system (fully updated 10.7.4) I have a feeling that those kernel panics might be HW related.
    I wanted to run Apple Hardware Test but found out that it is no longer supported on Lion. Since I don't have any optical drive to install AHT from (also I don't have the CDs with me atm), I found out that I can install an EFI Firmware update that enables internet-based (?) AHT.
    At http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904# , the link from MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) links to MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 which is for Early 2010 models only and doesn't allow me to run the installation process. I'm looking for an EFI update to enable Apple Hardware Test on my Mid-2010 Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch.
    Is there an update that can do this? Is there a wrong hyperlink on Apple page or am I searching for a wrong update?
    Also, even though this should probably be in a separate topic, can anyone please point me to the right direction for a good Apple Kernel Panic how-to-read-those topic?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hey Cris from London,
    I would try out the recommended steps in the following link:
    OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
    Let us know if any of the steps within resolved the issue.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,

  • I just updated my RAM and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.

    I just updated my RAM (replaced the two 2 gig cards with two Corsair 8 gig cards) and I keep getting a crash report. I have a 21.5 Inch mid 2010 imac. I also am experiencing slow load times with Photoshop and when I try to open Final Cut it says that quartz extreme is not compatible and that I have no VRAM even though I do.
    Here is the crash report:

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

  • How to update a MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 with SSD?

    I know that this question probably been asked many times before, but i can't really find the answers to my specific questions.
    I want to update my MacBook Pro 17 inch mid 2010 / 2,66-GHz Intel Core i7-processor, 8 GB memory, running latest Mavericks version (full specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP581?viewlocale=nl_NL) with a SSD (i think a 500GB) to speed up my MacBook Pro.
    I have about 400GB of data, personal and work related (mostly design work) that is really important to me of course. I use 3 harddrives (one offsite) at the moment to backup everything using Time Machine which works great, because i always can fall back on it when i delete something accidentally.
    The physical installation looks quite simple to do, but i have some questions about the entire procedure i hope someone can help me with:
    Which SSD will fit in my Macbook Pro the best (specs)? What to look for?
    And what about TRIM support to make SSD last longer, i heared that Apple default drives that come with the Mac will support TRIM, but what about any other SSDs on the market do support it and if so which ones?
    There are different ways to do install SSD, but what is best procedure?
    Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner or restore from Time Machine?
    Clean install with Bootable USB flash drive with Mavericks and restore from Time Machine?
    Buy a USB enclosure for SSD and Clone HDD to SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner first and boot it to check and than install the drive?
    Could anybody help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Look here for the maximum memory for each MBP model:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_capability/actual-maximum-ram-capacity-of-mac s.html
    The limit is given by the memory controller ("northbridge").
    There are no thermal drawbacks expanding the memory to the maximum supported limit...
    However, as explained, often Apple did specify an "official" maximum RAM amount which is in reality shorter than the real value, simply because, when the machine was launched, memory sticks of the proper size for giving maximum capacity were not available.
    Apple never revises the specs after the launch...
    But this did not happen in your case: the maximum memory for mid-2010 Core machines appears to be effectively just 8 Gb, form the page linked above...
    Final remark: in my experience, the SSD counts much more than memory for speeding up a laptop! As you already have 8 Gb, there is little value to expand to 16Gb even if it was posisble. Better to invest the same money in a  larger SSD...
    I expanded mine because it was equipped with just 4 Gb, and purchasing 16Gb Corsair was costing as 8 Gb Crucial. However, it was not a wise choice, those cheap Corsair memories were bad, the seller had to exchange both sticks...
    If I could come back, it was better to spend more and buy Crucial memory sticks!

  • Macbook pro 15-inch, Mid 2010 crashing very bad after mavericks update

    Hello Community,
    I updated my 15-inch, Mid 2010 macbook pro from snow leopard to mavericks with the gratis update that appeared one day in march i believe. Since then its been crashing sporadically with the simplest of actions like creating a new folder. I thought it was due to some peripherals USBs (which sometimes helped when unplugged) but now i cannot single out anything.
    I must admit I am not really knowledgeable when it comes to software fixes, but i will try to do anything you recommend can help. (really would like to avoid a clean sweep of HD...)
    Thank you all in advanced,

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have a logic-board defect covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they should still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with Mavericks is very slow

    Hi everybody,
    i have already seen this discussion (https://discussions.apple.com/message/24018625#24018625) started by campitor and allegedly solved by arthur but only for campitor's concrete case and already closed. Therefore I have made the same checkup with Etrecheck (see below). It would be really great to solve this problem because I need my mac for work and I am getting really desperate: it's just too slow for effective working. I am really desperate and really thankful for any kind of hint or help that could bring back my machine to normal workable speed.
    cheers,
    Cris

    Hey Cris from London,
    I would try out the recommended steps in the following link:
    OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
    Let us know if any of the steps within resolved the issue.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Take care,

    You have the misfortune of having purchased a model identifier 6.2 MBP that has a history of GPU problems.  There was a recall on these models but that has expired.
    You may have the logic board replaced at your expense.
    Or you may download this software:
    https://gfx.io/
    It will allow you to disable the discrete GPU which should stop the kernel panics.  You will be able to run the MBP on just the integrated GPU but at the expense of graphics performance.

  • How to reformat macbook pro 13 inch mid 2010

    Hello Everyone, can someone help me please. My laptop is too slow now and i want to reformat my Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2010 (software:
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5) Everytime i insert installation disc,it says cannot use this software to this version. Please help thanks

    It's because your on OS X Lion 10.7 and the disks are for 10.6 or earlier.
    10.7 and up have a RecoveryHD partition on the boot drive. Hold the Command R keys down and boot the machine into it and Disk Utility and Install OS X is there.
    If you install OS X without using Disk Utility to erase all your data first, it just replaces OS X with a new copy.
    Only by erasing all your data first, then installing OS X, will cure your slow down problems however it deletes all your users, files and programs in the process.
    If you don't want to lose your files, you need to make a copy of them to a external drive before you erase the internal drive.

    My laptop is too slow
    Well if you investigate why it's slow, perhaps you can fix it in place without wiping everything and starting over with nothing.
    Why is my computer slow?

  • Reply/Reply All/Forward in mail crashes Macbook Pro (15 inch Mid 2010)

    Dear All,
    I am having a chronic issue with Mail. Every time (almost - it's slightly inconsistent!) I hit reply, reply all or forward in Mac Mail it crashes the whole system without warning.
    Spec and troubleshooting so far listed below.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ben
    Spec:
    Macbook Pro (15 inch Mid 2010) - MacBookPro6,2
    8GB Ram
    2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS: Mavericks (10.9.5)
    Mail: Version 7.3 (1878.6)
    Troubleshooting so far
    Disk Utility (Permisions and disk repair)
    Resetting the PRAM
    Starting up in a new user (same issue)
    Mac Mail Rebuild
    Googling (lots on mail repair but nothing I can see on this specific issue)

    Thanks Eric,
    I will try.
    My next question.
    How do I know which 3rd party app is the one causing the problem. I may have 40-50 3rd party apps installed. Is there no way of identifying the repeat offender?
    Thanks
    Ben

  • How to upgrade my iMac 27-inch Mid 2010 for video editing?

    Hi there, I have an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2010 1TB that I would like to upgrade to work well with film editing (using programs like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.)
    My System's specs:
    iMac 27 Inch Mid-2010
    - 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
    - 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    - ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
    - Last 4 Digits of the Serial Number is JDNP
    I'm quite unfamiliar with upgrading an iMac and was hoping I could find some help here regarding what is possible to upgrade on my system?  I understand that installing RAM is quite easy, but is it possible to upgrade the Processor and Graphics Card?  And what about Installing a bigger hard drive or SSD?  Also, where do I take my iMac to get these upgrades?  Apple Store?  Hopefully I'm not sounding like a complete idiot here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you are not computer savvy and have never upgraded a computer before, then you need to see what Apple can do for you, but it maybe better to take your Mac to a third party Apple authorised reseller/repair center as they will be more likely to do actual modifications to your Mac. Apple stores tend to only stick with installing stock OEM Apple hardware.
    The CPU cannot be replaced or upgraded or replaced as I believe it is soldered to the logic board.
    The GPU maybe able to be upgraded, but the only other GPU option that it can be replaced with is the the 1 GB VRAM GPU version that was a GPU chip model available during the 2010 iMac model year.
    This will be hard to locate and, probably, very expensive to purchase (at least $300 U.S.D..).
    A third party Mac compatible SSD should be able to be installed, but will be expensive, too!
    Get as large an SSD as you can afford to purchase and pay for the installation.
    If you stick with a traditional hard drive, your Mac can take up to a 3 TB hard drive.
    You CAN install additional RAM yourself. However your Mac year and model will only take a total of 16 GBs of RAM.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).

  • Trouble booting MacBookPro (13" mid 2010) after upgrading ram?

    My MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010 will not boot after upgrading the ram. I just upgraded to mountain lion a week ago. I also upgraded my hard drive a month ago. I reverted back to the stock ram and it booted fine. But when I use the new Crucial 8GB (2x4GB DDR3_1333 PC3 10600 SODIMM 204 pin) ram kit, it just hangs in the white boot up screen, while the little grey refreshing dashmark circle is going around. Any ideas of how to get it to boot with the ram I have? Or could it just be faulty ram that I need to get a refund on?
    Thanks

    Your Mac actually is supposed to use 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Sometimes faster modules will work, sometimes they won't. In your case it looks as if the faster RAM isn't working. Crucial should exchange it for your without any problems. You their System Scanner tab at Crucial and find out what memory is 'right' for your Mac and swap what you have for that.

  • Use 21.5 inch mid 2010 imac as a display for 2013 macbook air?

    I would like to use my 21.5 inch mid 2010 imac as a display for my 2013 macbook air. I tried using Screen Recycle, however I would prefer more of a monitor situation than a side-by-side extra screen situation. Ideally with my wireless keyboard and mouse. Does anyone have any advice, or am I asking too much from apple? Thanks very much.

    Yes. With an Ethernet cable and a product such as ScreenRecycler.

  • 15-inch Mid-2010 memory upgrade issues

    Hi,
    I have a 15-inch mid-2010 MBP running Mountain Lion, that I upgraded from 4 to 8 Gb of memory in Sept. 2012. The memory i purchased was a 2x4 gb set of Corsair Value rated at 1333 MHz. The upgrade went smooth, and i did not have any problems for a few months.
    Then late in december or early in january, I had a few Kernel Panics. I didn't think too much of it, as I was busy with exams, and thought it might be a software issue or something, maybe related to VMware Fusion. The KP's started getting a bit more frequent, and suddenly one day the machine wouldn't boot at all, it just KP's at the Apple logo and then goes in a loop. I now suspected a memory problem, as my experience tells me that this is a usual cause of KP's.
    I started fiddling with the memory sticks, and determined that one of the blocks would boot, so i went to the place i bought the set and talked to them. They agreed that the one block was probably faulty, and replaced my memory with a 2x4 Gb set of Corsair Mac Memory. This is 1066 MHz CL7, and should be compatible with MB,MBP and iMac, according to the packaging. The problem is that the machine will not boot with this memory either. It just goes for the same loop and KP's at the Apple logo. I can't even get this to boot with one stick in the machine, so it's arguably worse.
    The machine works well with the original memory, It's been a rock solid main machine with 4Gb of ram for about a month now.
    I tried PRAM and SMC reset to no avail. I tried booting into boot camp with the new memory, but it just never seems to load Windows. This also works with the old memory.
    I'm a bit lost as to what i should try next. I suspect it's a problem with the Logic Board, i just don't see how, seeing as it used to work with 8 Gb, and that it still works with 4 Gb.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    So, i've played around with things a bit more. 4 gigs of ram is still rock solid. I've had the memory in a friends computer, an HP PC, where it works just fine.
    Also, the computer starts up fine in fail safe mode if i hold down shift during boot, but that's no way to live.
    I should probably have mentioned in my first post that I have replaced my optical drive with a 64 gb SSD that i boot OS X from. Since Windows does not start up either, and i've had that part of the setup for about two years, I wouldn't think that is the problem.
    The computer has been running 15 passes of Rember this night, and was still running when i got up, so it's clearly not entirely broken.
    Any suggestions?
