  • Will the ram from a "macbook pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" work in a "MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7"

    I have a 2008? MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram.  Can I use 2 GB ram from the old machine in a new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7 ?
    /bc

    Very likely not.
    RAM gets improved over time like everything else, so if the RAM is too old it won't be compatible with newer machines.
    TO confirm, use Crucial.com and punch in each machine, then read the RAM requirements and specifications, if they match, then your good.
    But I'm willing to bet they won't be beause of the age difference between the two machines.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro 2.0GHz quad-core Intel i7?

    I need to reformat my MacBook Pro 2.0GHz quad-core Intel i7 with OS X Lion with Snow Leopard in order to install Final Cut Pro Studio 2. Does anyone know if this can be done? Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi z,
    Contact Apple and ask them for the install disc that would have shipped with your machine if Lion had not been released. Others have been successful in obtaining the disc and installing SL.

  • I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
    There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for:  Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • I can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    i can no longer shoot directly into phaseone software - neihter version 6 or 7 - since i use my new macbook pro with retina display. pictures are not transfered from the camera into captureone. anyone else with this problem? any solutions?

    My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
    Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
    And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
    Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    or http://www.apple.com/contact/
    We are just end users here helping other end users.
    Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
    Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
    Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
    Good luck!

  • When will the MacBook Pro be updated (Quad core coming soon?)

    Hey! Just a quick question. I've been hearing rumours everywhere that a quad core MacBook Pro is on the way. Apparently Apple Genius' are now being trained on new MacBook Pros and there's been other rumours floating around.
    Just wanted to know if anyone had any extra information as I think the MacBook Pro's are so sexy and I really want one, but should I wait? Quad Core sounds good!

    Sorry, but no one outside of Apple knows anything reliable about future product releases. Anything anyone here would post would be pure speculation which isn't allowed here (the Discussions are for technical support on existing products). Whether any rumors the various sites report have any validity, your guess will be as good as ours.
    And just for future use, questions about the MacBook Pro will best be posted in the forum for that model rather than here in the iMac area.
    Regards.

  • Moved to new Macbook Pro; Aperture 3 Upgrade Serial Number not Accepted

    I have just moved to a new MacBook Pro. I migrated Aperture 3 from my Macbook. This was originally an upgrade from Aperture 2.
    When opening Aperture 3 on the MacBook Pro I am asked for the serial number. I enter the upgrade serial number which is rejected.
    I am really struggling to find the Aperture 2 box and don't know whether that serial number would be the solution.
    Has anyone else come across this issue and know how it is resolved?
    Assume I will not be able to find the Aperture 2 box. Can Apple help given that I will have previously registered Aperture 2 and 3 in the past? I really don't want to have to splash out on another couple of hundred quid for a lost box.
    Please help.

    Red,
    Yes, assuming that you legally purchased the original version of Aperture from Apple, they will have the serial number on file. When you call they can provide you with the original serial number.

  • Late 2011 MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Quad-core Intel i7 Vs Latest Release

    Hi Guys I own a 2011 2.4GHz Quad-core Intel i7, 8 gigs of ram and 500 SSD. I've a photographer and tether my camera to the computer to shoot. I feel the performance is good and everything is on order. Wondering if upgrading to the latest release if going to see a signifant change in performance. I generally don't edit on my laptop so not sure what the retna display does for me.
    Thanks!

    (1) On my three 10.9 Macs, upgrading did two very obvious things:
     • removed some useful features like the ability to set individual notification audio tones for different chat buddies and collaboration via iChat Theater.  (These features are not supported in OS X 10.9's Messages app that replaced iChat.)  There may be changes  I do not like in other apps, too, but these are two that I noticed.
      - and -
     • slowed my machines down as compared to OS X 10.8, particularly on booting, opening apps, and other CPU/System interactions.  The amount of slowing varied by machine, with my old 13" MBP being nearly unacceptable.  My i7 MBP is not nearly so bad, although the the difference is noticeable, perhaps 10% vs almost double boot time on my old 13".
    (2) To determine if upgrading will be a problem on your system, I suggest that you:
    • make a current Time Machine backup
    • configure  > System Preferences... > Time Machine to "OFF"
    • upgrade Mac OS
    • use your Mac long enough to see if you like the change
    (3) If you want to keep the upgrade, turn Time Machine backups back on and continue using the new OS.
    (4) If you don't like the upgrade, recover your system from your Time Machine backup.

  • What format am I supposed to import CDS into on my new Macbook Pro? CDS will import, but not play in iTunes once I import.

    I am having trouble playing imported CDS into my new OSX Lion MacBook Pro.
    I am able to import them but then when I try to play music, nothing plays.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    It should plug into one of your USB ports.

  • NEW MACBOOK PRO WITH 2.5GHZ CORE DUO ADN 4GB 667 MHZ / SUPER SLOW WITH DSL

    I just received this beautiful laptop, which was blazing fast with my wireless connection in the house, but after installing Adobe InDesign CS3 and Office 2008, it takes literally minutes after each click on-line. Any ideas, or is the software too much for this laptop?

    Hi,
    Could it be that Spotlight is currently indexing all of the new files that were associated with the newly-installed apps? Look at the magnifying glass icon on the far right of the menu bar. If it has a black dot in the middle of the magnifying glass, then Spotlight is indexing files. The indexing process tends to slow down the entire system when it's running. If this is the case, just wait for the indexing to stop, and your system performance should return to normal.
    Hope this helps,
    Ken

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel i7 that came with mountain lion that I can't stand.

    This thing is so slow that you would think it was a 199 windoze machine.  . Can I erase it and install snow leopard?

    Very good.  Let me explain to you how to install Snow Leopard in that refurbished MBP.  It cannot be installed directly from a Snow Leopard disk.
    First you will have to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You will need a HDD in an enclosure.
    You will have to borrow the use of a Mac that can install Snow Leopard.  Connect the external HDD to that Mac and install Snow Leopard on the external HDD with the above disk.  Then update it to 10.6.8 via 'Software Update...'.
    Then you connect that HDD to your refurbished HDD and clone the OS to the internal HDD (Disk Utility>Restore).  You should be ready to go.
    Ciao.
    This is how I did it on my late 2011 MBP.

  • Just got a new macbook pro, it has a password, did not choose any password yet, so how can i get the password back ?

    I just got my MBP, it is a new one. and just found out that my mac has a password. when i tried to instal a new app, it asked me to enter the password.
    what should i do? any help

    But if you bought a new Mac, did someone already run the initial setup procedure for you?  Ordinarily, with a brand new, out of the box Apple computer, at first boot you would have been taken through a series of setup screens, one of which would have had you create an admin account with an admin password.
    If somebody else already did that when you picked it up, then you should call the store and ask them for the password as they must have set it.  Then, immediately change it to something you make up.
    If you did not have the store set it up, then I'd suspect you did not actually get a brand new Mac?

  • New MacBook Pro, migrated from old machine, iphone not recognized

    I just got a new MBP and everything seems to have transferred over just fine except iTunes doesn't recognize either my iPhone or my iPad when plugged in. I have deauthorized the old computer and authorized the new one, the backups from yesterday on the old machine show up under preferences > devices. The only real difference between the 2 machines is the one was on Leopard and the new one is Snow Leopard! Any ideas? Thanks!
