Older macbook pro titaniums are better

Please return to the older stye of macbook pro, the silver notebooks from 2006-2007. The keyboard is nice and the screen is wonderful. The black uncurved keys on the newer notebooks are uncomfortable and the blackscreen border is distracting. Also please redesign the front of the computer, near the mouse pad,  so that is is not too sharp. The edge of the computer is uncomfortable. Smooth it out somehow.

    I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine.  I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one?  Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months. 
    Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well?  It is not saved in the cloud.
    Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

    You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
    But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
    These are the steps:
    Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
    Put it in a cheap enclosure
    Connect it the new computer
    Boot up new computer.
    If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
    Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
    If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

  • Using my boot hard drive from an older Macbook pro into a new one?

    Hi,
    I put my hard drive from my older Macbook pro 15" 2.16 Ghz Core2 Duo computer (Mac 10.6.4) into my new Macbook pro 2.4 GHz (2010) as my boot drive. Since then I've upgraded to 10.6.6 and everything seems fine.
    My concern is that since my OS was installed on a different computer, I might not have all the proper drivers for my new machine. Can this be the case? Does the OS install all drivers for all models all the time? Sometimes I wonder if my graphics card drivers are installed because it seems slower than I expect, but the graphics card shows up in System Profiler.
    Thanks!
    Jason

    You can resolve that by installing the 10.6.6 Combo Updater instead of the smaller incremental updater.
    +BTW, you should never use a version of OS X that's older than the version that shipped with the computer.+

  • I just purchased a new iMac, and I want to sync my contacts and iCal from my older Macbook Pro.  What is the easiest way to do this?

    I'm not sure how to sync contacts and iCal between my older Macbook Pro and my new iMac.  I've searched on Google for a few explanations, but they seem fairly complicated.  Are there any easy ways to make this happen?

    Is this a  one time sync or do you want to keep them synced all the time?
    If it's a one time sync you want to use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the old machine to the new one. You can use the Lion Setup Assistant tips for help.
    If you want to always keep them synced you have several alternatives. First is you can wait for iCloud which will be released this Fall according to Apple. You can find information about iCloud at www.apple.com/icloud. Several years ago I began using a tool called Synctogether which syncs Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts, Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts and Mail Signatures. You just check what you want synced, for example I do Bookmarks, Calendars and Contacts. This app sells for about $49 I think, however if I were you I'd wait for iCloud which will give you 5GB (which is a LOT) for free.

  • I wiped my MacBook Pro due to a problem, will I have to pay for iMovie or iPhoto that was originally installed on my older MacBook Pro ?

    Due to a problem with my older MacBook Pro I had to wipe it clean. Now I no longer have iPhoto or iMovie , will I have to pay for those programs ? If so, are there any older versions available I can download for free.

    a brandnew Mac (=aka after a clean isntall), should be registered with an AppleID.
    Then, you're entitled to download the pre-installed apps for free from AppStore, just log-in with that Apple-ID...-

  • Wrist Guard That Works with Older Macbook Pro?

    I see a lot of wrist guards, but they all seem to only work with the newer Mac Books. Can someone point to a reseller who sells a wrist guard that will work with the older MacBook Pros? Thanks.

    I love the stuff at Macstyles (http://www.macstyles.com)... they have Macpads that go on the palmrest area... they are not super simply to put on (gotta make sure to not get air bubbles) but I've put them on 4 machines (as well as back of the screen ones too) and its pretty easy after doing it a couple of times. Might go with a clear one on the older model, and less likely to see any mess ups or tiny air bubbles. On the newer Unibodies with Glossy screens, the solid black looks sooo awesome, matches with the screen and the keyboard.

  • Why is thunderbolt ethernet only 80Mb instead of 200Mb on my older MacBook Pro

    Browsers must locally expand compressed images from remote sites. As the image size and quantity increase, or the proliferation of Flash advertising increases, so does the performance penalty.
    We all wish we had a direct point-to-point Internet connection. Unfortunately, one or more overloaded, attacked, ill-configured, or failing network edge devices along the connection may contribute to site delays.

  • I have an older macbook pro os x 10.5.8 , processor 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2gb . Can I upgrade it and is it worth doing?

    i have an older macbook pro os x 10.5.8 , processor 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2gb . Can I upgrade it and is it worth doing?

    Yes. Here's the information:
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Only you can decide if it's worth doing.

  • Installing new SSD into older MacBook Pro and Organization Questions!!?

    Hello,
    I am about to pull the trigger on a new Samsung 840 Pro 512gb ssd for my older Macbook Pro 5,3 with 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo.
    I need some advice or at least point me in the direction of where I can read up to date info on properly executing the install of my new ssd.
    A little background:
    I have a Seagate 500gb external hdd that has many older pictures/videos on it as well as my "just about full" 320gb hdd on this computer that will be getting the 512ssd.
    Any comments/suggestions a to how I can organize all of this and have it in one accessable place? (I was planning on installing the 512ssd on this computer, putting everything on the 512ssd and then wiping the external drive and using it as a backup periodically in case something went wrong with the new ssd I would be installing on this computer.  Follow me? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I've been telling my wife that we NEED to replace this drive before we lose many of our important pictures and other items on it.  We have used 319gb of which 45gb is still available.  I am nervous as this hdd is about 6-7 years old?
    The pictures/videos are the most important to us and do not want to lose them.  Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    How to use an SSD with your HDD
    If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
    After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
    Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu.
    You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
    When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
    Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.

  • Snow Leopard on an older MacBook Pro

    Hi everyone!
    My companies' IT dept is having a garage sale. One of the items is a older MacBook Pro (prob around 2006) with a 2.3 g processer and 2g of memory. No OS, but in good working condition
    My questions:
    I have a Snow Leopard disc that I installed on my iMac years ago, can i use that again for this laptop? (i thought i heard more  than one install is allowed from discs...?)
    Will this model laptop run Snow Leopard OK?? what about Lion , Mt Lion?
    Thx for any help!!

    1. Probably not, as nstall disks are machine specific.
    2. 
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Older Macbook Pro's Ram Capacity?

    Hi.. I have the older macbook pro... (one just before the new ones came out), and it is said that 3GB is the capacity.. so if i got 2x 2 gigs of ram installed, would it not work? thanks

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    see this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304662
    You can install 2 x 2GB and it should work, although only 3GB are usuable.

  • Installing new hard drive in older macbook pro

    I have an aluminum Macbook Pro 17" with Intel Core Duo. This is the processor before they went totally to the Core 2 Duo.
    At the time I bought it the largest hard drive I could get was what I have, which is their 120 Gb internal drive.
    Is it possible to retrofit this older Macbook Pro with the newer 320 Gb drive? If so, how do you do it? Bring it to an Apple Store? Also, I use Time Machine. If I did do it can I just restore everything using Time Machine?
    Thanks

    If you are somewhat handy you can change the hard drive yourself. Instructions are available at [iFixit Site|http://www.ifixit.com>, and you can get appropriate hard drives at [Other World Computing|http://www.macsales.com>.
    You can copy the contents of your existing drive to the new one by 3 ways that I'm aware of;
    1) Disk Utility - Restore old disk to new disk
    2) Super Duper - Hear good things, but have not personally used it
    3) Carbon Copy Cloner - Have used it and it works fine.
