Way the Maverick upgrade works slow in my mac book pro 2011?
I just install e new OSX, and my macbook pro work slow. And doesn't the same with mountai lion.
Hi,
What are your Mac's specs, ie RAM, hard drive size, video memory, etc...? If you MacBook Pro is brand-new, frankly, don't bother installing Windows on a separate partition: install VirtualBox, create a sizeable (as in, 20 to 30Gb) virtual hard drive, then install Windows on it.
The pros? You can use your copy of Windows as if it were installed on a separate partition, without the hassle of partitioning. You can even switch from OS X to Windows without having to reboot.
The cons? Windows won't feel as responsive as it would on its own partition (though from what I hear about Boot Camp, even that is debatable...), and you'd rather have a solid amount of RAM, empty disk space (for swapping) and video memory if you want to enjoy the experience.
Up to you, but worth a try...

So, I've taken my panasonic printer back to the shop and exchenged it for a Canon MF-4430. Alas... the generic drivers do not make it print. Is it possible to get drivers to make this canon printer work with my lovely Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard, 6.8?
I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/imageclass _series/imageclass_mf4450#DriversAndSoftware
If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers. -
Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update. -

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,

My mac book pro 2011 never pass the grey screen.
I have a mac book pro 2011, 17". For some reasons it just stop working. I have recovered the OS by holding command-R, the problem still persist. I follow the note provided by apple here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 . Unfortunately, I have lost the recovered CD that came with my computer. What are the solution for this case. Please, help if any one has any idea about this issue.
The windows safe mode is working fine, but the Mac OS safe mode does not work. I have brought the computer to an apple technician to check for the hardware error using the tool provided by apple and found all hardwares to be ok. However, after try all the solution including internet recovery, the technician insisted that the mainboard is defected. What should I do to repair my computer?There is a grey spinny wheel that keeps spinning. Normally this stops and I get the login screen but now it just carries on endlessly

IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?
Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.
