Upgrading to Lion on a 2010 MacBook

Is 2 MB of RAM enough for Lion or should I wait to install more RAM?

2gb is the minimum for Lion. More would be better. For RAM check OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_Whi te

I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook. I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen. How do I do this?

Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
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. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

What kind of noise?
The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

Upgrading hard drive in mid 2010 MacBook Pro

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro and was looking to upgrade the internal hard drive.
I saw several suggestions on here and with that I found two hard drives.
I just didn't know which would be better or what the differences between them were.
The first one is this:
http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-7200RPM-Internal/dp/B0097LG9U8/re f=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1393716348&sr=1-1&keywords=hitachi+1tb+internal+hard+d rive+2.5
And the other one is this:
http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Travelstar-2-5-Inch-Internal-0J22423/dp/B00B4QESVQ/re f=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1393716348&sr=1-3&keywords=hitachi+1tb+internal+hard+d rive+2.5
I was just wondering if these two are just the same thing or if they are different?
If they are different which would be the better choice?

Mattress6450,
I don’t know if they’re ultimately the same drive or not. The first drive (HGST part number 0S03563) is sold at retail as a “mobile internal drive kit”, and the second drive (HGST part number 0J22423) is sold at retail as a “mobile hard drive”. They’re both SATA III, 2.5-inch form factor, 7200 RPM, 1 TB hard drives with three-year warranties. You’ll need to dig around the technical specifications at hgst.com to see if there are specific technical differences between them.

Downloading and Installing Mountain Lion on a 2010 Macbook Pro Running OS X 10.6.8

I'm attempting to download mountain lion, but everytime I click the download button, it turns white and the just reverts back to normal. I tried restarting the computer, and I see the dock icon saying it's downloading, but again, nothing in the App Store changes. I've tried deleting the cache for the App Store, I've tried resetting the App Store, I tried creating a VPN network, but nothing worked. I'm out of idea.

You're sure your Mac can run Mountain Lion? >>> System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion system requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Make sure there's enough available disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or in the Sidebar of a Finder window then click Get Info. Make sure there's at least 15% free storage space.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro "Your Computer was restarted because of a problem"

Hi guys,
Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro has been randomly restarting itself and showing a grey sceen with the text "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."
I've googled and read all sorts of things saying remove everything from Login Items, it still happens. Everything I've tried has done nothing. Just in case it helps, here is my latest kernel panic log from Console:

It looks as if you may have the dreaded 'bad GPU' that shipped with some versions of the 2010 model. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
Use the "Contact" Apple techs link and see if your model may be one affected. If it is, you'll qualify for a free logic board replacement from Apple.
Good luck,

Problem Printing PDFs since upgrading to Lion

Since upgrading to Lion on two machines (macbook pro 2011 and imac 2010) I have had a HP CM2320 and a HP M2727 produce the following error whilst printing from Preview PDF documents:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/cgpdftops failed
The PDF documents are many but here is an example,
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26737363/Modified%20contract%20Causing%20error%20in%20pr int.pdf
The only way I can print is to print using Generic PCL printer driver. Gereic Postscript also causes the problem.
The problem doesn't occur when printing from Snow Leopard.

I went to the page of your link: Safari 5 without plugins displayed the pdf page perfectly.
Then I saved as.. to the desktop.
Then I opened it with preview, printed pefectly.
Closed Preview and opened it in Adobe Reader (I do not use Acrobat): printed perfectly.
I don not have a HP printer but I tried it on Canon Multifunctionals.
So I conclude: it is not Safari (or a plugin), it is not the document itself, it has to do with the HP driver(s) probably.

Late 2010 MacBook Pro 15", upgraded to Lion on Sat 23rd no external display does not work

Hi all,
Wanted to ask this question here see if anyone might have a solution to my problem. I have a Late 2010 Macbook Pro 15" which I upgraded to Lion yesteray. Ever since that upgrade when I try to connect to my TV to watch a video no joy the image looks like the colours are out.
I have tried it on different resolutions and always the same. Then for some reason the MacBook Pro split the screen in two. So now I see the right of the screen on the left of the TV and the left on the righ with a big black line done the middle.
Priror to the Lion upgrade everything was fine. Only since Lion has this been a problem.
I am using a Minidisply to HDMI cable to go direct into my Phillips 42" Plasma, and I have not got a clue why this is doing this. The strange thing is it works ok on my Samsung BX2450 down the same cable no problems at all just the TV that has issues.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
ZeroG

Please HELP!!!!!! Getting second thoughts on Lion!!!!

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard. Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems. Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard? Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks? Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

I have a 2010 Macbook, and have snow leopard on it. Do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion first on order to be able to upgrade to Mavericks?

It's wrong for you to assume that they don't care about what they are about to lose, even if it's one PPC program.
It's not uncommon for people to keep their software up to date.
It's wrong for you to assume that all software is being updated or that there are Intel versions available.
I have a mid/late-2007 MacBook Pro 3.1 with 6 Gigs of RAM and a 750 Gig 7200rpm hybrid hard drive that is running Mountain Lion just fine. Performance benchmarks with Geekbench are equal between SL and ML, and the Mac runs about 20 F degrees cooler than it did with SL.
You took extremely good care of your almost 7 year old machine and judiciously used it, you added more RAM and a faster cooler hybrid drive to make up for the more feature rich yet slower performing Mountain Lion.
Congratulations, your a conservative.
It would be nice to have some empathy for the people you advise that they also also don't get suddenly ambused by a OS X upgrade that's going to disable software they care about using still.

HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
Thanks

So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

HT1270 My mid 2010 MacBook Pro has the maximum 8 GB memory cards installed. Can it be upgraded to 16 GB? Are there compatible 8 GB cards available?

I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

I have a MacBook and I recently upgraded to Lion, but I can't do everything Lion has to offer. For example I can't do the 3 finger slide up gesture to go to mission control it won't go? Why?

To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
For MacBooks it's only the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody that have the multi-touch trackpad.
