  • Mixing RAM types on my new MacBook Pro

    Hello all,
    Just purchased a week 44 Mac Book Pro (Core Duo Only), and so far, everything is good, no cpu whine, no screen whine (though I think those issues were solved by this revision).
    I wanted to know, is it possible to take the 1GB of the ddr2 pc2-4200 RAM that I have in my Powerbook (bought separately) and put it in the second slot of my Mac Book Pro (Which uses ddr2 pc2-5300)
    DDR2 RAM is supposedly backwards compatible, so will the system slow the newer Mac Book Pro ram down to the older RAM's speed, or is doing this a big no no?
    Thanks All!

    Hi!
    The ram from your Powerbook is not compatibale ram with the Macbook Pro. The PB ram is DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM, the MBP uses 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM. You also want to have matching specs and size for each module, to have best performance.

  • From iBook to MacBook, from '06 to '08: A big leap indeed!

    I currently have an iBook. I have just purchased a new MacBook. I created a site using iWeb '06,
    and I need to:
    (1) transfer the website from iBook to MacBook
    (2) and go from '06 to '08.
    How does one transfer a site from one computer to another? (Even if you copy the contents of your "sites" folder, iWeb doesn't create it, I've found when I tried to transfer from one user account to another.)
    And will there be any problems going from '06 to '08?

    Hi xharris,
    1) Have a look at the following page about transferring the website from one computer to the other
    http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebTransferSite.html
    (also read Note 1 of that page!)
    2) Be sure to update iWeb '08 to the latest version (2.0.3). Then double-click the domain file you transferred and iWeb will launch and prompt you to update the domain file to version 2.
    The problems some people experience are that some objects might move and not be in the right place anymore or things like that. Just have a look at it once you opened it in iweb '08 before publishing it to the web.
    Also make a Backup of the Domain file before- after- you updated and from time to time
    http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWebBackupWebsite.html
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • How do I test RAM on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro

    Yesterday I upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
    I want to do a hardware test to check all is working fine behind the scenes. I trawled yesterday for answers, have tried to perform the AHT with Option D etc but think due the age of my Mac this capability isn't valid on my Macbook pro?
    Can someone recommend the best way to test my RAM. I am using MacBook Pro - Mid 2010 cycle, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.9.3
    Would appreciate some advice.

    Download from Kelley Computing REMBER.  Run it overnight in order to execute sufficient loops.

  • 1333Mhz Ram showing up as 1600Mhz MacBook Pro 15 Late 2011

    Hi All,
    I have a weird problem here.
    I have a late 2011 15inch Macbook Pro. I recently upgraded it to 1333MHZ 8GB (4X2) transcend RAM - (Transcend RAM Model JM1333KSH-4G)
    Now the problem is that the transcend RAM specifications show that these are 4GB 1333MHZ RAM but on installing in my Macbook Pro, it shows the frequency as 1600MHZ under "About Mac" menu. I have tried this with 4 different transcend RAMs to make sure that RAMs are ok. All the 4 RAMs show 1600 MHZ in my mac. Can this be a problem with my laptop?
    Apple support team suggested to reinstall the OS so that it updates with the correct information. I reinstalled the OS (not clean install, just reinstall), but still it shows 1600MHZ.
    Can somebody explain the problem to me? Is this normal ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Vikram

    Hi Dominic,
    Thanks for the reply.I really appreciate.
    This is one of the safest solution.I can return it but in our region Transcend is a trusted brand with acceptable service and repair. So, there are not too many reasons from moving away from the brand !!
    Further, i have tried with 4 different RAMs.All resulted in the same problem. My guess is that either the RAM model or my laptop is having problem.
    It would be great if some of our friends who have done a similar RAM upgrade with Late 2011 Macbook pro can share their experiences.
    Hopefully, i am not the only one to fall for transcend
    Thanks,
    Vikram

    The Latest Update for MacBook Pro is causing my computer to hang....I hate updating for this reason...seems it always happens...Any suggestions?

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

    When is apple going to make ibook for MacBook? I use Nook because its avalible for my MacBook. Im not going to buy a ipad just to read on.

    "When is apple going to make ibook for MacBook? "  There is no way to know when or if such a thing will happen unless Apple announces.

  • HT4059 can you use ibook on macbook pro

    can you use ibook on macbook pro? If so, how do i read the free books from itune?

    "if you can use the Kindle app from iPad to Macbook, shouldn't you be able to do the same with an apple product?"
    No.
    The kndle app provides this feature.
    Ibooks does not.
    " I would rather buy books from iBooks"
    You can buy form whomever you like.
    " but not being able to go from device to device like in Kindle is a problem."
    You can read iboks on ipod touch/ipad/iphone, just not your computer.

  • Latest model in MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    Which is the latest model in MacBook Pro? Plus, is there any news that MacBook Pro will be upgraded or outdated?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The most recent MacBook Pro is the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. However, MacBooks Pro with Retina display received an update early 2013, but it's not considered as a new computer.
    We don't know when a new MacBook will be released, but it hasn't been updated for more than a year

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio & 4GB RAM issue - latest driver?

    :X-Fi Xtreme Audio & >4GB RAM issue - latest driver?T Hi All,
    Been using an X-Fi Xtreme Audio with 4GB RAM for ages, no issues.
    I purchased and installed a zotac 9600 GT which has GB onboard ram, which works fine, but now my X-Fi has started causing general system instability. (processes using heaps of CPU time whilst apparently doing not much, jerky/slow adobe flash, distorted (slow-motion) audio at random times, etc etc.
    In the support section here it says:
    Audio issue from output from soundcard with computer having 4GB RAM:
    <span class="text">
    Keywords: <font>4GB ram, installation, xfi, x-fi
    Summary: Customers with computers having <font>4GB or above of RAM and are experiencing audio issues, please download the latest driver for your sound card.
    However... When this issue first came up I formatted my primary dri've, reinstalled the OS and downloaded the latest drivers for EVERYTHING. The problem has prevailed..
    It was only yesterday that I tracked down this problem in the support section here, and tried to verify that my driver is indeed the latest. But device manager lists the driver as "6.0.0.209" when in the support section here the downloads are named ".xx.xxxx" or something. How can I confirm that I have the latest driver? In any case, I'm almost certain that I have the latest, and this issue is still occuring.
    I have read in other forums that on other varients of my X-FI card, the latest drivers have not solved this problem either.. sorry I cant be more accurate than that.
    For now, I have solved this problem by simply removing 2GB of ram from my PC. Obviously, I'd like to find a solution and put the other 2GB back in!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Could DanielK please mod this as well, so we can try them. Or Daniel, you could you please tell me how you modified the previous drivers from auzentech as I dont know how these CL drivers work and are modified. What is the inf in these drivers, and if you could tell me the deviceID?s of all the x-fi models, or atleast for x-fi xtreme music as it is my modell. Thx in advance!
    EDIT:
    I have modified the drivers, was not so hard after all. Im uploading the file now, which should have support for all X-FI cards thanks to Daniel's great job with the earlier version.
    Upload finished in 4-5minutes. I will post with link soon to rapidshare!

  • How to type vertical line on macbook pro keyboards?

    Please tell me how to type vertical line on macbook pro keyboards?

    (1) It sounds like you might be using a Spanish keyboard. You should specify this to begin with. Unless you do, the default assumption is that you're using a US keyboard. The advice you received is correct for the US keyboard.
    (2) To see how to enter any character available with your current keyboard, enable Keyboard Viewer, as described here
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35878.html>
    (3) There is no "alt" key on a Mac keyboard. You are talking about the Option (⌥) key. See (search for "Alt key" in)
    What's it called on my Mac?

    (4) My advice is move on from Fraise. AFAIK, it's dead. Try TextWrangler, which is free and more capable.
