Will one of these fit in my macbook???

Hi BlaCk_Lic0riCE: The listed processors may work, but then what? The processors in MacBooks, and for that matter most Laptops are an intergral part of the motherboard. This makes them not a user replacable part, they are soldered to the board.

HP p6310y graphics card failing, will one of these work?
For the last few days my monitor blacks out for a few minutes, so I thought the monitor was going bad, but last night while usiing a 3D program an error poppped up. Something about nvidia card has failed, but has recovered. The graphics card installed is what came with the PC when purchased. It's an Nvidia GeForce 9100. I've been looking at graphics cards all day and am just getting more and more confused. I do not do any gaming, but I do need a card good enough to run 3D rendering programs and programs like photoshop, and also need an affordable one. Are either of these compatible with my PC and will they run these programs?

Thanks in advance!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi:
I think the 610 GT will work fine in your PC.
I would go with this one as the specs state it has a 128 bit memory interface.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814139078
That will be a better performing card over one with a 64 bit memory interface.
New Egg has the same 64 bit Galaxy card for a lot less ($20) than Best Buy.

Is the CAT6 ethernet cable they sell good for the regular MBP to ethernet outlet or is buying this a waste of money? My ethernet CAT5 is really old, broken, and I can't beleive anything can move by the twists and knots it has in the cable. would it be better to purchase one of these tht I see in the store?
I have a ethernet cable that is at least 10 years old, and I use it all the time. Nevertheless, if you want to buy one, just order the cheapest one you can find. I don't think the Apple Store sells ethernet cables that are somehow better than any other ones.
Of course, they make the best smartphone out there! -

Will theis Hard drive fit in my macbook pro?
I think it is the right size but I want to be sure.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Scorpio-Mobile-Internal/dp/B0034ZD5P0/re f=wlit_dpo?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1KM8BQJUSARMS&colid=3JEKXYVUZW51OIt really depends on which MBP you have. According to Western Digital, this drive is 12.5 mm high:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=685
If you have a unibody MBP, it should fit. If you have an original 17" MBP, it should fit. If you have an original 15" MBP it will not fit, as an original 15" MBP can only take a 9mm high drive. I believe the WD 750 GB drive will now fit a 15" original MBP.
Good luck! -
Will a Macbook Pro HD fit into my Macbook?
I have a friend that is exchanging his internal HD from his Macbook Pro. He offered me an excelent deal on his old 250Gb HD. Will it fit into my Macbook?
Thanks for your inputs!The only reason it would not fit would be physical size of the drive. Go to one of the online stores, look for a hard drive of the same capacity for both the MacBook and the Pro. If they are the same then it should fit.
Once you are ready to install the drive back up your entire existing drive with time machine. Install the new drive (its easy I replaced mine with a 250 gb) the instructions are on the internet. Then boot from your OSX disk. Repartition the new drive then restore your drive from the time machine backup and reboot. When I did this the only thing that happened when I rebooted is that OSX wanted me to reregister. Otherwise everything looked and worked the same. -
I have both an iMovie.app and iMovie 9.09.app on my Macbook Air. Can I delete one of these apps without losing iMovie? I need to free up space on my Macbook Air as I don't have any space left. I've ordered an external drive in order to move photos and video there to free up space. In the meantime I have to make some room for incoming emails and to open programs. I've already deleted some documents.
You should find out which app you are using when you double click on a movie.

Will a shell for a macbook 13 in. pro fit an older macbook 2009 model?
I have an older macbook 2009. Will a shell for a macbook pro 13 inch fit this 2009 macbook?
I strongly recommend that you have your MBP battery rep[laced by Apple. You will have the correct battery, it will work and have a warranty.
Third party batteries have often proven to be totally unsatisfactory and I have my doubts that the 2011 battery will fit in your MBP.

Will this operating system kill my 2008 MacBook Pro?
I am working with the last operating system and it seems to have slowed this computer down considerably. Will this new Yosemite OS kill my MacBook Pro from 2008? I do not want to download anything that is going to slow this machine down anymore. It's already lethargic enough as it's configured now.
Time to do some serious house cleaning.
Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Slimming your hard drive
Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left. -
I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad. What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?
Thanks. The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to. The one is was synced to was stolen. If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?
i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
hence why i have 3 now
hard to believe you cannot combine into one
oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
thanks -
How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?

my daughter received an ipod and an itunes card for christmas and began multiple apple id's with a few different email addresses. she entered the itunes card code into one of these. i have all the card info and receipt. is there anyway she can still use this card?
As long as you are signed into the account which she registered the card with, you will be able to use it. I'm guessing you just don't know which account that is. Logging into all of them would be the only way to find that out. Hope that helps :)
