New Corsair ram issues - 2008 Macbook (white) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Just after having a successful (though after some help from the forum) install of 8GB into my mid 2009 MBP I helped my brother install a 4GB (2x2GB) memory upgrade from OEM 2GB (2x1GB) into his 2008 macbook (white) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system. Checked and made sure I got the right memory speed and capacity for the 2008 macbook. Here's the memory I recieved http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011UPBMA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
So since installing even though the system seems to read the memory correctly showing in system profiler that 4GB is recognized and the status reads "OK" the system is crashing
Below is the latest system crash report that I copied from when I had to restart the computer. Any help on what to do or if the memory is bad?
Note: After booting into safe boot. The system is still crashing! (The report below is before the crash in safe boot)

Hmmm I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to conclude that it's not compatible. I mean vendor of ram shouldn't be why it's not working as I just got done installing Corsair ram into my mid 2009 MBP and although had trouble initially was able to figure out (with the help of this forum and a very helpful member: Kappy) that I had an incompatible (for OSX) kext installed on my sytem. The Corsair ram on my MBP is running great now.
Wish I knew how to read the panic report. Anything pointing to something else that may be incompatible or anything pointing specifically to the memory.
I'm not trying to ignore your advice as I'm very appreciative of it, it's just that I was pretty certain that the ram purchased should be compatible as I checked all specifications and noticed the reviews pointing to compatibility.

  • Stock RAM Configuration for 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Hello,
    I have a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo on it's way to me and I need to order a RAM upgrade. I know the specifications of what I need, but am getting conflicting information from the retailer on how the stock models are configured for RAM. The total amount is 2GHz. Does anyone know if this amount is provided by one or two RAM modules?

    You'll find the RAM is in a 2 x 1GB configuration. Unfortunately they both need to come out for you to upgrade to 4GB RAM in a 2 x 2GB configuration. Still cheaper than going with Apple which makes it a little softer.

  • Can I upgrade to ML on a MacBook White 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

    I have a MacBook White 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB SDRAM running Mac OS X (10.5.8). It´s not in Apple´s list of upgradable computers, but anyway, can I upgrade it to ML?

    No. it's not listed as compatible for a reason.

  • Cable that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

    Hi,
    The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working.  I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies.  What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)?  And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
    Thanks-
    Sheri

    Hi Sheri,
    The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro models have a Mini DisplayPort for video out, which can be connected to a VGA connector using Apple's adapter. See this product page -
    Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
    VGA does not carry an audio signal.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • 2008 MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running like a dying lion

    November 23, 2013 - I am trying to hold my MacBook running 7.5.8  together. But it seems like I'm having big internet browser delay as well as dogged performance. I've now stopped upgrading for the last two OSX updates. Why is my maching really it seems like the last month that the performance has slowed to a crawl. Is it just that my machine has outlived its operational life? Any feedback would be helpful!.

  • 8GB Ram for Mid'10 MacBook unibody 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Hi need help here.. can someone or the Mac admin let me know if this Mac i am using has the ability to upgrade to a 8GB ram? i was told by Apple staff previously that it can be overclock to 8Gb, but now some staff of Apple said i can't.. i have google around & seen some optimistic ans.. but i need a assurance.. So please some Apple admin or any kind souls here with Macbook upgraded to a 8Gb ram & it's working, do let me know....

    Hello JToock,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, it will support 8 GB. According to the link provided below:
    *Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. Originally, this model was only unofficially capable of stably supporting 6 GB of RAM, but as confirmed by site sponsor OWC, they are capable of supporting 8 GB of RAM if updated to Boot ROM Version MB51.007D.B03 and running MacOS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard."

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

  • Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.

    My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it.  I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up.  Can anyone help?

    If you are running Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • Purchase RAM for Macbook Pro  2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009

    Hello,
    I need to upgrade the current memory(2 GB) of my Macbook pro (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009) model..Can someone please suggest where I could purchase and what is the maximum and optimal that I could buy.
    Also I reside in India, so should I get it online or from the apple store which is like 100 km (nearest) from my place .
    Thanks
    Shubham

    You can buy them oniine if you wish to do so.  Buying it from Apple is a good idea but would cost more, and since it's 100km away, after your gas = more money.
    The maximum you can install is 8GB.  Your RAM specs are 1333MHz - DDR3 - 204PIN SODIMM.
    Check here for current prices online and compare to the price Apple sells them in your area.
    If you're not in a big rush - then buying online is a good idea.
    Good luck

  • Old MacBook 2,0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo from 2006

    I have this old Macbook that i bought in 2006 , and it worked great until i droped it on the concrete and now the battery dosen't work
    This also means that if the battery doesn't work the procesor will stay at 1,0 GHz(another problem)
    It has bene Colecting dust for a couple of months (forgotten the macbook somewhere high in the attic-also needs some cleaning)
    I want to upgrade the RAM from 1,2 GB to 4 GB
    Also want a new OS (best one compatible for this model)
    It also has a broken CD driver(refuses the CD's i want to insert)
    And last,but not Least, it has 3 Missing buttons:"caps lock","7",and"f9"
    I want to know more about where i can fix my Macbook(i want to pay only 200$!)and how much it will cost at an original Apple store.
    Thanks in advance!

    I can't buy one from eBay
    As I said,I live in Romania, and in Romania, if you order a Valuable item from another countrie you have to pay a border tax(from 100$-200$)
    I don't want to buy a new labtop because labtops here are very expensive(for exemple,a Asus x55 costs around 400$.
    But Adding all the taxes it reaches almost 600$)
    Another example:
    Refurbished IPod nano 6th generation-99$(Apple store US)
    The same IPod-1000 LEI(1$=3 LEI-currency in România),about 300$
    A new Macbook from late 2006 (Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz,2GB RAM,white)costs about 400$(1300 LEI) in Romania
    If i pay around 300$ for a new charger,new battery,RAM upgrade,New USB optical CD driver and a 250GB hard drive,im
    happy(instead of paying 400-600$ for a new macbook)

  • MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Wireless Router Choices

    I just ordered a MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and need to set up a wireless network with my wife’s 24 inch iMac. I see numerous posts about problems connecting with airport. Can anyone recommend a wireless router that is truly compatible with the new Intel Core 2 Duo Macs and which ones to stay away from.
    I know the Airport Extreme base station is considerably more expensive than the non-Apple brands, but I am willing to pay more for reliability if the Airport Extreme base station is the only reliable choice.
    Thank you for considering my questions.

    Hi,
    I have both an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express, and both now work flawlessly with my 2Ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook. White it is considerably more expensive, they're so easy to setup and have awesome range and signal strength.
    We have 3 Macs in this house, and can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy excellent wireless signal strength wherever we go.
    Apple has released an update for the Airport wireless in the C2D MacBooks & MacBook Pros, it's here. It should also appear in your software update list.
    The update apparently improves compatibility with 3rd party routers, and I imagine has other fixes.
    Apple will continue to work on the Airport connection if there are still issues. Remember- with any new hardware release, there are bound to be software glitches initially. Apple moves quickly in my opinion to provide solutions.
