By memory, do you mean space on your hard disk?
If so, here is one resource:
Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk
Or do you really mean memory - i.e,, RAM?
In any case, what occurs that makes you think your "memory" is gone?

I have upgraded to 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro now the Calendar is not working properly. Help please?!?

Yesterday I upgraded my MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2013) to 10.10.3. I immediately started having problems with it opening apps slowly. So I read and discovered it had replaced some of my apps with newer versions. I also restarted it 2 or 3 times. That seemed to solve that problem. This morning I get on and it is doing the same thing, but it is limited to the Calendar. Anything I try to do in the Calendar gets me the spinning beachball, from opening it to editing to adding an event. I have many dates and events saved that I don't want to lose. Am I going to have to reinstall the Calendar? If so, how can I do it without losing my content?

This is the note I sent to the other thread (Macbook is slow since OS X 10.10.3. I'm sorry. I hope this helps
I did not have a specific category that said "log list" once I got to "All Messages". It just showed "Log" so that is what I am sending you. The other thing is that the timestamp is 9:23:?? the next is 9:34:?? and the problem occurred at 9:32:??. So you are getting the log from 9:23 until it repeats.

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!

Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

Upgrade to Lion Causes Black Screen On MacBook Pro

I read early discussion posts on this topic and thought by now Apple would have corrected this poblem but apparently not. I updgraded my MacBook Pro last night to Lion and since last evening I have had 5 black screen (failures) and had to power off and reboot. Is there a known correction or update to this problem? It is extremely disappointing as I need my Mac for my business and cannot afford to send it to a depot for a five day repair.
This same problem was happening to me with an older OS but ONLY when I used both PowerPoint and Parallels at the same time. For this probem I took the MacBook into the Genius Bar and had to leave it there through the weekend and all day Monday. They told me after running multiple tests they found no hardware problems and the issue had to be software. The only fix was a five day depot repair. I thought I would manage by not using PowerPoint and Parallels together but now, with the Lion Upgrade it happens with ALL apps and when I simply try to read an email. Very, Very DISAPPOINTING. COME ON APPLE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. PLEASE.

Lion has been causing a lot of problems on older hardware, it killed a 4 year old 15" MBP on me.
Go back to 10.6, the stability of your business comes first.

How do I download Mavericks OS to my MacBook Pro? Where do I find it? Please help!

First... Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
NOTE that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion.
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.

Macbook Pro 15 inch: Late 2011 or 2012? Please help

Hi Fellow Mac Enthusiasts, I am in need of your suggestions and comments. I plan on upgrading to a 15 Inch Macbook Pro with in 2 weeks. I can't decide between the Late 2011 Macbook Pro and the Mid 2012 Macbook Pro. I am basically interested in hearing from present owners of either one these two models. I am interested in hearing about overall performance, graphics, speed, etc. Just overall user experience. Just pros and cons from everyday use. Particularly cons- overheating, loudness, etc.
Your feed back will be very well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15" with the quad core i7, and ATI HD 6750M 512mb for around $1300 before the retina macbook pros were out. Its a great machine and the overall peformance is quite good. As for graphics I can run all Valve games like Portal 2 and whatnot, at the full 1080p resoloution on an external display without any hiccups, so for what I am looking for in gaming its good. Upgrading ram is a no brainer although for non-retina displays it is easily upgradable but when you get to the rMBP 15" its solderd and cannot be upgraded.
I don't have any problems overheating and the only times it starts to get warm is when I am running intensive games or encoding video.

Macbook Pro WEAK monitor hinge AFTER apple repair! PLEASE help!

Hey everyone, I am using a 2010 MBP with a 15" hi res display. I had the computer for 3 months with no problems and then the display broke (wouldnt turn on) so apple replaced it. Once they replaced it, i noticed the display was not as strong. To help you all understand this better, let me give you some background information. I am a DJ and music producer and I play at various venues quite often. The problem I am having, is when my computer is on my laptop stand, and the bass hits from the venues sound system, the monitor will wobble down when placed on my laptop stand (http://www.safecomputingtips.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/irizer-laptop-s tand.jpg). This NEVER happened before the display was replaced, nor does it happen on my 13" 2009 MBP. To get a sense of what im talking about, if you watch the end of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmN9p9z3KgA) it demonstrates how the screen will fall down with just gravity. While no one would ever use a computer like that, while it is on the laptop stand its position is very similar. When he holds the macbook body vertical, it causes the screen to fall down with gravity. Before my macbook was replaced, it NEVER did that. My 2009 MBP has had TONS of wear and tear and doesnt do that. I went into the apple store and tried it on EVERY macbook pro in the store, 13 15 and 17 inch models, NONE of them fell with gravity. This started happening when i got the screen replaced. I have gone into the apple store and have had the display replaced for weak hinges 2 or 3 times now, and every time i get it back it is no better. My computer was out of repair yesterday, I took it into apple tonight (20 mins ago) and I was told by a manager that this is within "normal" specs for a "normal" user. Which is true, this wouldnt bother anyone who doesnt use a laptop stand and plays in clubs; but i do. He told me there is nothing he can do, and that I would just have to deal with it (of course he said it much nicer). What i dont understand is that I paid 2,800 for a computer that worked PERFECTLY until the screen died, and once it was replaced due to APPLES fault, now i must deal with a problem caused originally by apple. When I DJ with my 2009 model, no problems. My thought process is that maybe because the original screen is not on the unit, the replacement may not be as sturdy because it wasnt built with the unit itself. For example, my 09 mbp has had no replairs and its fine. The models in the store i assume have had no display repairs, and theyre all fine. The manager agreed that my hinge was weaker than the rest of the stores' models, but even though it was weaker it was within "normal specs", and he wouldnt budge. I'm sure a new unit that has been built together will fix this problem, but he would not give me a new unit. Is there ANYTHING I can do to help this? I am going to a different apple store tomorrow and hope the manager is a bit more understanding in the fact that not all apple computers are put through "normal" use and therefore should not be judged with "normal" specs. When my computer was new it NEVER ever ever did this, and I feel like I bought applecare for that exact reason, so that for at least 3 year i have the computer I bought. Any any any help would be greatly appreciated, I am 19 going and paying my way through school and if i didnt have to pay for school I would just say screw it and I would buy another unit, but i cant. Thanks for reading this, i really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, spoke way to early. The fan issue is still a big problem. From the second the machine is turned on, the fan cranks up. Frankly, I think this is overheating the machine to some extent (running the fan at max speeds when it's not even warm). Additionally, the noise caused by this has only gotten worse, and now it is even making a "whistling sound." Looks like I'm going to be making the trek to the Genious Bar, but based on comments by others on this issue I am not optimistic about a fix.

Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia NOT WORKING...PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am trying to connect my *macbook pro* to my *Sony Bravia TV*.
So far I have the macbook pro - mini display to VGA converter - VGA cable - PC VGA socket in the back of the TV.
When selected on PC mode, the mac display turns blue for about 3 seconds then returns to its original state whilst the TV has a black screen with 'NO SYNC' in the top left hand corner.
The VGA cable is brand new and the mini display converter works as i used it on an old TFT monitor which died...hence why i am trying to connect it to my TV : )
Any tips/solutions would be amazing!
Thanks
Jon

Had the same problem with my 40" Sony Bravia LCD. I tried for ages to connect MiniDisplay to VGA. The TV would never recognise an input signal and the MacBook wouldn't acknowledge any change and I eventually gave up.
Recently, I checked the Bravia manual and the highest possible resolution for my model was 1360x768. So I set the MacBook display to one of the nearest: 1280x800. I connected the cord and then closed the MacBook lid for a few seconds and reopened it. The signal kicked in! The mac then gave me the option to reset the VGA to optimal display - I used the table at the back of the Bravia manual to reset it to the highest display compatible with the available mac options (1280x768, 60Hz). Now it works perfectly, but still only when first set to 1280x800, nothing less or more!

I cant get my macbook pro to have a full screen in safari please help?

I have tried getting my full screen back and its not working please help?????

First off, iOS 7 does not run on Macs.
Secondly, Mac Pros are desktops, and MacBook Pros are notebooks. Something is not jibing with your signature and what you say you are running. Please go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your Mac OS X version.
Go to Safari menu -> About Safari, or Help menu-> About Safari to tell us your Safari version.
That will tell us if fullscreen is an option.

My MacBook Pro has no memory left..

Hello,
I don't know a bunch about fixing my MacBook. Nor have I ever had a problem with anything until recently. I mainly have just media (music,photos,Movies) stored on my laptop.. I am trying to update my computer softwear and all that but when I do it's telling me that I have no room/memory left to do so. Neither can I save any music, pictures.. I can't even backup my iPhone or iPad to my iTunes.. Just looking for someone who has some tips or can give me some useful information on how to free up room on my Mac and get rid of all the unneeded files that have accumulated over time.. Without deleting files that are needed on the mac and so forth.. As I said I'm not very educated on the system, how it works or what do do with this kinda stuff.. Any help would be awesome cause I wanna get this cleaned up and over with asap.
Thank you!
TiannaMarie.

You will need a compatible OS X installer DVD to do anything. If the machine qualifies i would purchase a copy of Snow Leopard ($29 USD.) Then I would contact AppleCare to order replacement discs for the computer.
Once you have a usable installer disk I would start by erasing the drive and installing OS X from scratch.
Drive Preparation and Snow Leopard Installation
1. 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Upon completion of formatting quit DU and return to the installer. Now install Snow Leopard following the onscreen instructions.
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

2009 15" MacBook Pro won't recognize battery

A little history: I had an '09 MacBook Pro 13" and it was stolen from my hotel. Long story short, I was pretty much S.O.L. So, I decided to buy a new mac. After deciding against a new one ( I need the disk drive) I found a good one on eBay. Enter my 2009 15" MacBook Pro 3.06 Ghz/anti glare screen (very pleased with it).... EXCEPT, I can't charge it. Originially, there was a black "X" where the battery percentage is supposed to be. However, after resetting the SMC there is nothing where my percentage should be, no picture of a battery, no "X", just..nothing. So, I come here for the vast knowledge of you good people, hoping that yall may be of some assistance.

Well, I made the trip to the Apple store. After taking my mac behind closed doors for around 5 min, the "genius" came back and said my problem is the logic board, $310 fix. He also mentioned that when they send it in the technicians may or may not replace my logic board due to the fact that the previous owner has done some under the hood "tinkering". So, basically, I could be out $310 just for them to tell me they won't fix it
A few questions for the community:
Wouldn't I have other issues if my logic board was bad?
They didn't mention anything about my battery, could I ask apple to replace the battery to try that fix before assuming the previous owners tinkering wrecked the logic board?
Should I try to sell it and go for a new MBP?
