Hi! I recently got a refurbished mac as a present, it was prchased on the apple site. Yet I do not knoq if it is a 2010 or 2011 macbook pro? It is a 17 inch, Intel i7, 8GB of RAM. Could you please tell me some differences between the two macbooks? I really would like to know. Also around the screen, it is an aluminum border. thanks!

  • I bought this MacBook. How do I look to see what year it was made? It has no harddrive., I bought this MacBook. How do I look to see what year it was made? It has no harddrive.

    I bought this MacBook and was wondering how do I figure out what year it was made. It has no harddrive in it.

    The serial number should be printed somewhere on the bottom. I think with the older MacBooks it was on the battery, so you may have to pop that out. Find the serial number and enter it at http://selfsolve.apple.com.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...
