What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
Hope this helps,

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
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 the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

A tic/bug inside the Mac Book screen!

Dear Apple,
I bought an apple mac book last August from Kerala on a student plan. I had no complains untill recently, when I was living in Warsaw one night I saw a couple of bugs (tics) scrolling inside the screen!. It was very strange for me and as I was not able to handle it in Poland, I waited till I reached Netherlands. Here I gave my macbook to Xando and official dealer of Mac. They sent it to the service desk of apple in netherlands. They are now asking me for the purchase receipt which I probably lost when my husband's laptop bag including all its contents were stollen this May while travelling by train from Schiphol. How can I get a new purchase receipt? Without it, the service desk told me that they will charge me for cleaning it. Please help me.
with regards

Hello OG MacBook,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It is absolutely worth it to change the drive yourself. You can get as big of a drive that you can afford, as long as it meets these criteria.
2.5" SATA-I (1.5Gbps) or SATA-II (3.0Gbps)
9mm and I believe 9.5mm in hight I believe. (and most drives are with in this)
Here are some drives that willwork.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136197
There are many others and other manufactures but these have the best reviews at newegg (best computer parts company on the net).
Here is some from OWC (the best Mac parts store online)

I personally would stay away from the 7200RPM drives as they will not gain to much performance in your case. They run faster, hotter and burn up more battery power.
You may think about purchasing an external firewire enclosure also to clone you drive before swapping it out. This was you clone your drive then put it into the Macbook, boot and you are up and running.
Then you can put your old 80Gb drive in to the enclosure and then you have an external drive for backups or file transfers.
The instructions for this upgrade can be found at iFixit, it is a relatively simple upgrade.
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=6895&Ntt=2.5harddrive
If you decide to go with creating a clone of your system before install let us know and we can recommend some enclosures and free backup programs for you.
Total cost for upgrading the drive with enclosure... $150.00
Total cost for having more space for pictures, movies and music... Priceless!

I put my mac book pro to sleep the other day and now when I turn it back on it simply comes on for about 10 secs and go right back to sleep. I have tried about everything possible I know of, any suggestions??

Recently I put my 2009 macbook pro to sleep and the next day I came back to turn it on, it turned on for about 10 secs and then went right back to sleep. I've done all I can think of to get it to work but it just goes right back to sleep before I can do anything. Any suggestions??
thanks

You can check if your Mac is set to sleep mode:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Energy Saver.
Click Schedule.
You can set your Computer Sleep to Never
and your Display Sleep to Never

Mac Book screen issues

My Mac screen has started blacking out or if when im working ..screen and curser freeze and fades into screen saver..with ghost image of previous screen for about 30 seconds and then comes back and curser moves again..anyone else experience this issue? Had this Mac for 4 years with no issues..

By a clicking noise, do you mean sort of like a squeak?

A thin black line in my mac book screen while i browse

This is happened three to four times. I see a thin black horizontal line form 1.5 inch form top edge of my screen. What I need to do to fix this issue ?

I bought it from amazon.in, shall i return it and ask for replacement ?

I am covered by Apple Care, but i have a dent on the corner of my Mac Book Screen. How much does this cost?

There is a dent in the top left corner, and the screen is a little cracked. I've had my macbook for almost a year and a half. I am covered by the Apple Care Program, not sure how much this costs to fix, or if it's automatically covered... Please help!

To fix the dent on the screen enclosure the complete unit would need to be replaced. Accidental damages are not covered under the Apple warranties so it would be at your expense. What the cost is only Apple can tell you that. But it would be somewhere around $500. If Retina model more in the $1000 range.

The colors of my mac book screen are messed up

This has been happening on and off for awhile now, but the colors of my screen are messed up. My screen currently looks like the picture attached, everything is coated in a weird dark blue color. The only way I can revert the colors back to normal is by applying small pressure to the screen.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Since the pressure to the screen trick works, that says the internal cable is getting frayed by the hinge. That resistance on the hinge is there deliberately so you don't push it back too far. If you do, you can damage the cable. If the machine was opened after market, the person closing it back up may have not properly tightened the hinge joints, thus defeating the built-in resistance making you end up fraying the cables anyway. Dropping or bumping against the hinge has the same effect if there is enough force exerted. Hopefully none of the above has happened, in which case you may have a case for AppleCare to look at.
Good luck!

I have a mac book nd the screen shuts off depending on the position

my mac book screen shuts off when I open and close it but will stay on in certain position

There is a combination of a circuit, wire, and possibly other parts
that can or may eventually wear out or fail, and these would need
to be replaced. A test & diagnostic check of the computer is a way
to tell more precisely what parts could be involved in a repair.
These can be very detailed to repair and sometimes a take-apart
to fix one possible cause of the problem can cause another one
since there is a likelihood a non-professional DIY may damage it.
{In fact, I have a similar first-edition MacBook1.1 1.83GHz
core duo, with 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, OS X 10.5.8, and
an issue with the display such as you describe; my answer
to fix it, may be to send mine in a box to wegenermedia.}
If the computer can run an external display with an appropriate
video adapter, then you can tell if the problem is only with the
attached internal display and not some other or deeper failure.
Depending on which MacBook model identifier build year, you
may narrow down more detailed troubleshooting techniques or
look through a correct iFixit repair guide for ideas, and ask to
see what the costs would be to have an expert repair it.
•Mac Laptop Repair guides - iFixit:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
If you are in an area where an official Apple Store has a Genius
bar you can arrange to have an appointment there to have them
check or diagnose the issue, and estimate parts + cost. In the US
and Canada, an actual diagnostic is a free service; so is estimate.
The Mac computer need not have an AppleCare plan in effect.
Elsewhere, an authorized Apple service provider may offer similar
testing and estimate, but may charge a customary fee for the time.
Hopefully you can narrow down which one you have, from many
built during the 2006 to 2010 era the MacBook was made. They
no longer are; these are different than MB/Pro and MB/Air.
Good luck & happy computing!

Want to reinstall maverick in my mac book pro

i upgraded to maverick but i want to clean my mac so i want to reinstall it in a clean way and put my mac book pro like coming from factory
is it possible to do that from internet?

This will install Mavericks by Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can I sync my Iphone to a new iTunes account on a new Mac Book as no longer have the old Mac Book and im unable to use the same Apple ID, I want to sync music to my Iphone from my new Mac Book, new Mac Book and iphone in same Apple ID???

Basically, my iphone has been in the same apple ID as my dads iphone and mac book, so my iphone has always been synced to his macbook. I bought myself a mac book the other day and want to sync my iphone to it. However i have obviously put my mac book in a different apple id as i know pay for things i download myself, how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it? ive now put my iphone into my new apple id thinking this might help? ive also tried clicking 'manually manage music and video' but this doesnt seem to work, it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.
