I Suspect you have incorrect RAM, or RAM that is no Mac certified.

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • Why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program

    why can't I doubleside print in my macbook pro 2011 word program
    does anyone know

    The easiest way to produce double-sided publications is to print them on a printer that supports duplex printing. You can usually learn whether your printer supports duplex printing either by looking at the information that was included with the printer or by looking at the printer's properties. Some printers offer the option of automatically printing on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing). Other printers provide instructions so that you can manually reinsert pages to print the second side (manual duplex printing). Some printers do not offer duplex printing at all. If your printer doesn't offer automatic duplex printing, you can follow these steps to manually print on both sides of the paper. On the File menu, click Print. On the Printer pop-up menu, select the printer that you want. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Microsoft Word. Click Odd pages only. After the odd pages are printed, flip the stack of pages over, reinsert the stack into the printer, repeat steps 1 through 3, and then click Even pages only. Depending on the printer model, you might have to rotate and reorder the pages to print the other side of the stack

  • This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

    Hi
    This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
    Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than  year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

    Region Code 4:
    Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
    Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • I updated my phone to ios 7.0.2.  Now my phone isn't available because my iTunes isn't 11.1.  I can't upgrade my iTunes because my MacBook Pro is only 10.5.8.  I can't change it to 10.6, and I have no idea why.  Any suggestions?

    I updated by iPhone to iOS 7.0.2.  My phone won't sync with my iTunes because I need to have 11.1.  I can't get the new iTunes because my MacBook Pro is only 10.5.8.  Any suggestions on how to get this done?  I need my calendars to sync.  The MacBook pro doesn't have iCloud, so I can't sync that way.

    Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • Can we upgrade the graphic card on macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012

    I just bought my macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012. I am wondering can i upgrade the graphic card to NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete processor with up to 1GB of video memory?

    Nope - you're stuck with the Intel 4000. If you wanted a higher-performance GPU, you should have bought a 15".
    Sorry,

  • Why can't my calculator connect to my MacBook Pro?

    I use a TI-84 Plus (recently upgraded to version 2.55) and a TI-89 Titanium on a regular basis for school, and I create my own programs for my benefit. I have connected both calculators to my PC with TI Connect multiple times without a problem to sync programs and rearrange files, but I want to use TI Connect X for Mac to use the new version with a program editor. Upon installing TI-Connect and connecting my calculator(s) to the computer, I receive no indication that my calculator is seen by the application. Only after turning off and then back on my calculator do I get this message:
    It reads: "Alert - A device was connected, but we could not communicate with it for some reason."
    This has happened with both my calculators every time I try. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, used different cables, downloaded the software again, and connected to different usb ports, all to no avail. I sought out help from TI for this, and it was concluded that the problem was probably with my MacBook Pro because I am still able to connect to my PC and my friends' Macs, under the same conditions.
    Does anyone know of a reason for why my TI-84 Plus and/or TI-89 Titanium cannot connect to my new MacBook Pro using the TI Connect X software?

    Ok, so I went to Best Buy in an attempt to buy a TI cable hoping this would fix the problem. One of the guys from the Geek Squad told me TI's accessory products are not proprietary so it shouldn't matter what cable I used and directed me to the cell phone area for a generic USB-to-mini cable as they did not sell TI cables. I bought one for good measure just to make sure I didn't have a bad cable at home. STILL the same problem and error. I sent TI a message through their website trying to get help on the issue and this is what they said:
    "First, I would like to inform you that Texas Instruments has not tested this software on your platform. It was last updated to work with Macintosh 10.6.4 OS. While we will continue to troubleshoot any issues that may arise I am not able to guarantee that a solution may be available.
    Since you have Snow Leopard OS I am assuming that you either have 10.6.5 - 10.6.8 OS, if I am incorrect please correct me so that I continue troubleshooting. At this point, our software developers have become aware of an issue with our software and your platform. They are working on possible solutions for a possible future update to the software. Unfortunately, I do not have an estimated time frame as to when this update may become available. I do apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused."
    I definitely have 10.6.8 so I guess I'll be waiting for the software developers to do their thing. If you've got 10.6.4 then you should contact TI for more help.

  • Can i upgrade my RAM on my MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch late 2012?

    Hello,
    Since yesterday i keep getting a screen which says my Program memory is low. and it keeps pausing the programs which are currently open.
    then it gives me the option to force quit them. I also did disk utility. i cleaned languages which i don't need on my macbook. and i also cleaned my Cache.
    I went from like 21 GB to 33 GB free of 120 GB.
    Later i got an message again. so i'm really wondering if i should upgrade my RAM. its 8 GB 1600 Mhz.
    As im a graphic designer i only use adobe programs. i don't got films or anything like that which could be the problem of a lot of disk space.
    So i really don't know how this is possible.
    Greetings,
    Lars

  • Why can't I access app store on macbook pro?

    I recently re-installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro, and now when I click software update, I am being told I can't access the App Store because I don't have an Internet connection.  How can I fix this?

    Hi russraman,
    I've been having that issue off and on lately, but I'm certain it's my cable provider and not my Mac. You probably see the Wifi indicator with an "!" in the middle of it? It means that the Wifi was able to get onto the network, but not to make an internet connection because of a bad IP address.
    So, to resolve my issue, I have to reboot my router. Give that a try to see if it clears it up for you.
    Cheers,
