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

Adding Memory to a White MacBook 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo (Memory 1Gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM)

Good afternoon from London.
I want to put 2x2GB memory into my MacBook (mid 2007) but Apple support site specifies that the maximum amount of memory for this model is 2Gb. In other words, I can only add 2X1Gb.
What would happen if I proceed?

Thanks. They say the following, which I take to mean that I am good to go:
MacBook2,1 (All) - Install up to 4.0GB total memory, uses up to 3.0GB.
Note: Although limited to physically utilizing a maximum of 3GB, there is a performance
benefit due to 128 Bit addressing when 4GB( 2GB x 2 Matched set) is installed.

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

How to upgrade to 10.6 MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo 1G 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

how to upgrade to 10.6 I have a MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo 1G 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

HI..
You can purchase Snow Leopard from the Apple online store > Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store
Make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard requirements > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications

802.11n Enabler Doesn't work with 17" MacBook Pro (2.16) Intel Core Duo

While I would believe that the computer does meet the requirements and that it does have the extreme card and after following the instructions -- checking the network utility ap, etc. It is very strange that you get a "Alert: Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." So you don't think that I am a fool, I did check the Network Utility and there is no "n" so it was never updated.
Is there any way to do this manually?
Thanks in advance.

The Core Duo machines don't have the newer Extreme card whose chipset supports 802.11n.
You can do some potentially warranty-voiding surgery, however, to replace the MBP's stock card with the Mac Pro Airport Extreme Upgrade card, which supports 802.11n and is plug-compatible with the MBP's stock card. It's available for $49 from places like PowerMax and Small Dog.

Upgrading of Ram for Macbook Pro 15" 2.16GHz core duo

hi,
anyone here could enlighten me whether i could upgrade my current MBP's Ram from 2 GB to 3 or 4GB? (20pin DDR2)
will there be any issue to my system if i also upgrade my internal Hardisk which is currently a SATA 100GB 7200rpm to maybe a SATA 300GB?

We would have to know which MacBook Pro you have. The most current versions support up to 4GB. The previous Core 2 Duos support up to 3GB. The original Core Duos support up to 2GB.
So far as upgrading your drive. The drive is not considered user replaceable. If you damage something while upgrading your drive, it will not be covered under your warranty (provided your warranty is still in effect). Also... if something fails down the road that requires you send it back to Apple... and they realize you have installed a new drive, there is a chance they may not cover it under warranty either... as there would be no way to tell that the upgrade you had done did not cause a problem that just took some time to show up.

Should I fit a SSD or a HD in Macbook Pro 15" 2.4 core duo

I want to fit a new drive in my Macbook Pro 15" 2.4 GHz core duo, Is it worth the extra money to put in a SSD 520GB or would a 1TB or 750GB HD work just as well. Also I notice that there is a SSD/HD Hybrid available from Crucial will this work.

Those drives are horrible. Search the forums. You'll find many people where their drives have failed.

What would cause a MacBook Pro display to begin having a red cast to everything I view? MacBookPro1,1 Mac OS X, 1.3 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz RAM

All of a sudden my MacBook Pro (Granted it is an old computer) started having a red cast to the display. All shading and shadows are red now. Up until yesterday, I never had any problems with the display. Is it just getting too old? Computer works fine otherwise.

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test, if applicable.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
If your system is not fully up to date, running Software Update might get you a bug fix.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
Otherwise, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.

New Macbook Pro, OSX 10.4.6, Logic 7.0.1, NI Komplete 3 (with updates)

Okay, the subject line is too long for this one but its meant to outline what I am looking at having very soon and am wondering what problems I am going to see before I dive in. I went ahead and got all the updates for everything I currently have software wise. Basically, I just need to get the Macbook and install everything.
Anyone have any idea what is going to work in this set up and what isn't? What is the "Rosetta" environment on the new Mac Intels? I have read that Logic 7.1 will not work at all under it. I need to know I will have a functional studio before I make this investment.
How many plug-ins are crashing/not working on the new Mac Intel machines?
I do everything with software so this is extremely important to me.
Thanks for any help.

I heard a while ago that EastWest was in the process of developing their own sample player due to all the issues they were having with NI and their Kompakt player. There wasn't any word on when it was supposed to be done, though. You'd think NI would wake up and smell the coffee, but they seem to be content providing subpar players that sometimes play back really good sounds. I remember reading the Kontakt forums over there and the representative from NI that was addressing all the issues with Kontakt was always combative about things and always extremely defensive whenever a bug was brought up. Lots of empty promises, at least from the Kontakt team over there for well over a year, which is exactly why I never purchased it.

Hi, I have a macbook pro 17" GHz intel Core i7 Memory 4GB. Can I upgrade up to 16GB or it goes up to 8GB only?

I want to buy it on amazon and I heard I need the Crucial 8gb 1333 mhz ddr3, I just want to know if I can make it up to 16? is it going to work properly?
Thank you

I have a late 2011 17" MBP with 16 GB Crucial RAM. No problems since installation 9 months ago.

No wireless network connection on NEW MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo???

When I started my 2.16 15 inch C2D up out of the box yesterday it connected to my WEP Network with Airport and my password. That lasted about 12 hrs when the connection faded, then was lost. I cannot get this thing to connect no matter what. I've read the numerous posts about this same issue with these machines, no similar abundance of problems on the MacBook Plastics. What the heck is up with Apple on this? Por Favor, I'm going to bail on this thing if I have to jump through hoops just to use wireless...Can anybody offer any help or hope, before I ebay this thing and go back to a 12in PB? I'm really disappointed in Apple.

I received a 17” MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Core Duo for Christmas. I am a long time PC user and this is an attempt to migrate over to Apple. We have two other PC laptops that connect wirelessly to our in home network via a Linksys WRT54GS v5. The Internet service provider is Cablevision and the connection is broadband cable. This router is less than a year old and has been working great with all wireless laptops including any guests.
With the MacBook Pro next to the PC laptop the PC sees the network and acquires a log on without a problem. The signal it receives is outstanding and the connection robust. The MacBook Pro sees the network with a good signal and will not connect to the Internet.
The router encryption is “WPA Personal” but I also tried WEP and No encryption – None allowed the Mac to acquire a wireless connection but every change I made in the router the PC’s connected fine. Out of frustration, I decided to just hook up a direct Ethernet cable from the router to the Mac. Again I was not able to connect. As a fair test I hooked up the laptop PC with the direct Ethernet cable and was immediately online. According to Linksys Tech support all my settings for the WRT54GS are fine and the PC’s connect wirelessly so the problem is with the MacBook Pro. I brought the MacBook back to the Apple Store and had the tech there test it using the in-store wireless and Ethernet cable connections and both worked fine. The Apple Tech reviewed a printout of all my router settings and made sure all my software screens were set correctly so when I got home all should work after the passkey was applied. Unfortunately, this was not to be. Neither the Ethernet nor wireless worked. I reset power to both the cable modem and router and sequentially reapplied power allowing each to reset. In the end, I was not able to gain access to the Internet with the MacBook Pro.
From the many posts to this support forum regarding problems with Airport Connection to the Internet I can see Apple has a problem. I’m especially dismayed by the number of posts by new MacBook Pro owners describing the same symptoms. Connecting to the Internet should be an automatic feature for Apple products but as it turns out, from my experience, it is not. After three days of frustration working on this and with both manufacturers tech support people pointing fingers at each other I felt caught in the middle with a $3000 computer unable to connect to the Internet. The MacBook Pro was returned for a refund.
This is really too bad as I had anticipated my switch to Apple for a long time. Getting away from the antiquated, poorly written XP software was something I was looking forward to. Maybe down the road I can try this again, but right now, I’m a little burned out with Apple.

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.
