Where can I find directions to replace the internal HD on a MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo, 08/08)?  Considering the age does it matter ATA-300 or 150?

  • My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?

    My computer is a MacBook Pro Intel core duo, and I need to know if I can run the new Lion OS?  The Apple web says must have Intel Core 2 Duo. Please advise. Not knowledgeable enough to know if not having the 2 between Core and Duo is a stopper.  Appreciate any guidance. 

    The difference between a Core Duo and a Core 2 Duo is a show stopper when it comes to running Lion.  The Core Duo is still only a 32 bit chip, but the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip.  You need the 64 bit chip to run Lion.

  • What is the best operating system for Macbook pro intel core 2 duo, 2.66 GHz, 4 GB ram?

  • How long does it take to replace battery in an built-in macbook pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2009? Can I wait for it at the Genius bar or could I do it myself?

    My macbook pro shows that I have to replace the battery, but I dont want to leave it at the apple service centre and would like to take it with me after replacement of the battery. Is this a quick action at genius bar? or should I try to replace it myself?
    I currently switches off even when it's on normal charger and plugged in. Why would it switch off without the having a battery even when it's connected to via power?

    To replace the battery takes about 10-15 minutes.   (I have taken it out and put it back in) 
    However Apple will not sell you the battery, they will insist on installing it themselves.  In addition, you do need a #0 Triwing driver to take out the battery.  Not an easy tool to find in your local hardware store.

    Is this the MBP?  If so, mention that to the genius bar technician when you have the battery replaced.

  • If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

    I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

    Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

  • Why the MBP Intel Core Duo left out of the Lion Upgrade?

    I was looking forward to the upgrade but today i found out that my MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo) from 2007 was left out of the Lion Upgrade list. Why? is it because it's a 32bit CPU?

    Prices have crashed. Look and you can find Samsung 128's and others for $89 sometimes.
    It is not just moving the OS and data apart, though it does matter, and more from you should never have the OS cluttered with data, been doing that for... 35 yrs. 0.01 ns vs 10 ms. 60k IO's per second. Reads in 220MB/sec but held back from making full use of SATA 6G.

  • Where can I order a cyrillic liser engraving for my keyboard on Macbook Pro 15" ?

    Hi everybody, sorry for the wrong topic but can somebody tell me where can I order a cyrillic liser engraving for my keyboard on Macbook Pro 15" in Wisconsin or New York?

    I've never heard of anyone anywhere offering that service.  I suggest instead you look for a keyboard cover or replacement keyboard.  For keyboard covers do a google search.  For a keyboard, ask these folks:

  • The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    The hard drive on my Macbook Pro is getting full (mainly due to the size of my iTunes library). Can I store it on my time capsule and if so, how is it done ?

    You can store your iTunes library on a Time Capsule.  So that you can access on your local (home) network (I wouldn't recommend access via the internat), (off site.....to slow).  
    If you do decide to put your libray on Time Capsule I'd recommend doing this.
    Option 1:
    1.  Don't use TC as a Backup (Time Machine).
    2.  Connect a USB drive to your TC or Computer and backup to the  drive. Backup when a change is made to the library (adding Apps, Songs you get the idea). 
    Option 2:  (What Im doing)
    1.   Two Time Capsule's connected via ethernet cable (roaming mode, bridge).
    2.   Use TC1 as a Time Machine backup
    3.   Use TC2 as network drive.  (The information on TC2 does NOT get backed up to TC1).
    3a. Connect a USB, FW, drive to your desktop computer (if you have one) use SilverKeeper to schedule backups.       Silverkeeper will look at TC2 and back it up to a external or internal HD.  I've been doing the or some time now.  Or connect to your TC and do an archive.
    I have this setup because I don't trust Cloud base services and I want access to my files (in Sync) on TC where ever I am, as long as there's a internet connection.  It's expensive, but does exactly what I expect.
    The most important thing is to safe guard your data in case of a failure.
    In your situation it would probably be better to get a high speed SD or thumb drive, however I've never been successful in backing up those type of drives with TM.  What ever you decide to do make sure you have a GOOD duplicate (backup).

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

    AMelie Eliabeth the Adobe Download Assistant can be dragged to your trash can.  There is no separate uninstaller or any other application files to remove.

  • OSX 10.6 .8 -- Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options. Don't know where else to look.

    How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.

    Hi fullrun-
    Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps.

  • Will 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?

    I kinda asked this as a follow up in another thread. But I really should have asked it in a separate thread here.
    Will a 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?
    Additionally, it comes with 10.4 and IPhone needs 10.5.4 or better. Can I download and upgrade to 10.5.4 free from Apple or will I have to purchase the upgrade?
    Jerry

    The hardware is more than sufficient. You will have to buy 10.5 (Apple does not have upgrade pricing).

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...

    Or any other way to solve it?
