On macbook pro lost icloud when I upgraded to lion?
I upgraded my macbook pro to lion and lost mobile me and idisc. How do I retrieve it? disc available on ipad and iphone4s.
Set up iCloud. iCloud replaces MobileMe. There will be an iCloud Setting menu in System Preferences if you have 10.7.2.

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?
You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library. -

Serial # W87*****Z67 OS 10.7.4 is my late 2007 MacBook Pro (black) but when attempting to purchase X Mountain Lion upgrade I get message that hardware is not supported. But X Mountain Lion tech spec says mid to late 2007 Macbook pros supported. Any thoughts?

The MacBook Pro 2,2 is a 15" Core 2 Duo from Octomer 2006-June 2007
It only has a mere 1.5 Gbps SATA 1 connection which won't realize the performance of the SSD which is better suited to a SATA 3 connection at 6Gbps. So basically you put a Ferrari engine into a Yugo.
My advice is to return the SSD and get a 7,200 RPM hard drive, is backwards compatible with your older SATA 1 connections and also provide more storage space and speed you require for that machine which has a maximum RAM limit of 3GB (4GB has to be installed, 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM modules in two slots, see OtherWorld Computing or Crucial.com for Mac verified memory)
What occurs with that model is there is a lot of memory swapping to the drive due to the 32 bit processor and it's 3GB RAM limit, so your thinking a SSD would speed things up is correct, however your SATA 1 connection is the bottleneck.
So your resigned to using a 7,200 RPM hard drive which will give the same performance as the SSD in your case due to the slower SATA 1, it's the best you can do.
Also, older OS X operating systems 10.6 and earlier have trouble installing on with SSD's a it's a new storage device, there is supposedly some more hoops to go through to enable TRIM etc. as the installer doesn't know what it's looking at when it see's a SSD, but it does with a hard drive.
For that machine, even though OS X 10.8 can be eventually installed on it, it's not advised due to it's vintage age and slower CPU and graphics capability. 10.7 and 10.8 are bloated for newer mor powerful machines, thus it's only going to be a wasted effort and costly for a machine about to die shortly.
For the best OS on that machine (with current security updates) would be OS X Snow Leopard, which you can get the $20 or so OS X 10.6. white retail disk still from Apple online store.

OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
Why is my computer slow?
IMMO a 7,200 hard drive and 10.6 updated to 10.6.8 is the best, most cost effective solution as something else is going to croak on the machine in the new few years.
10.8 will let you run iCloud etc., however the machine will be so slow and you will have to buy all new versions of software for a machine that's only going to expire shortly.
Run 10.6.8 on that machine for the next few years until the wheels fall off, Apple has got your back with security updates still until it drops to like below 10% OS X market share.
If you require to run iCloud etc., then buy a new machine for that, don't waste your effort going to 10.8 on the older machine, use it for backup purposes. -
Macbook pro wont sleep after ram upgrade
Hi,
I have a 17" Macbook pro late 2011. I upgraded the ram from 8gb to 16gb last week and now I having trouble with sleep. When the laptop goes to sleep it always to seems to go into hibernation mode. When I open the lid I can only wake the computer by holding the power button for around 7 secs and then it does a restore from the HD. I've tried a PRAM + SMC reset. Also tested the ram and everything seems good. Below is the output from pm set, the console after hibernation restore (filtered for the word 'sleep') and the memtest. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck! -
I just got the new macbook pro about 2 weeks ago, it has lion. When the new mountain lion comes this summer, can i just update it on my macbook pro since it isn't so old? And if i can update it, do i have to pay, or is it a free update?
I'm in the same position, the store said they didn't know of any new release, so i bought my macbook pro to find out about mountain lion. I really hope that i'm not going to pay for the upgrade. New to apple, also last month bought my Ipad 3, really thought that Airplay would have been on my book pro, nope, waste of time.........need that update to use it. Back i the box then, get the windows 7 ultimate pro back out until then.

Contacts are missing in Macbook pro and iCloud address book
Hi, i backup my iPhone to my macbook pro and Icloud . When i looked into contacts, some contacts are missing and its not sync into macbook pro and iCloud also. How to fix this? how to get all contacts to my addressbook in both macbook pro and Icloud?
I had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud. I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book.
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop. I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud. Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook. The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts.
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself. I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts.
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!

Macbook Pro 4,1 doesn't upgrade to 10.8
My Macbook Pro 4,1 doesn't upgrade to 10.8.
I tried using just the app, but also creating a separate partition with the InstallESD.dmg extracted to it, same with the BaseSystem.dmg, and some other combinations.
I have to mention, that the FireWire on my motherboard is defective, so in my current OS(10.6.8) I have the FW modules removed. I also tried several times to use an image (InstallESD and BaseSystem) with the FW modules extracted from them, but it didn't make any difference. But
When starting up in verbose mode, it hangs after the message:
"ConsiderRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel com.apple.nke.webcontentfilter triggered rebuild"
The last time, using the BaseSystem.dmg with all the packages and such copied from the InstallESD to the root of the drive, it vould hang after initializing the AppleYukon Ethernet adapter with the message:
Ethernet [AppleYukon2]: Link up on en0, 100-megabit, Full-duplex, Symetric flow-control, Debug [796d,6f08,0de1,0200,45e1,4000]
After this it would just hang for half an hour, doing nothing but reacting when I unplug and replug the ethernet cable with:
AppleYukon2 - en0 link down
And when re-plugging, same message as above:
Ethernet [AppleYukon2]: Link up on en0, 100-megabit, Full-duplex, Symetric flow-control, Debug [796d,6f08,0de1,0200,45e1,4000]
I'm slowly getting desperate, because now I'm TWO versions of the OS behind. If anyone has a suggestion that might do the trick, please be so kind... :-)
Note: During verbose boot, is says:
"FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in now active, GUID oo1ff3ffffe3674c6; max speed s100"
Does this mean it is loading some firewire module somewhere? And if yes, where and how can I remove it? Cause if it does, this might be the culprit...
Thanks in advance!

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
