Will the 2.4GHZ, 13" Macbook Pro run Starcraft 2?

Will the 2.4GHZ Macbook pro run Starcraft 2, and if so run it at decent settings? Thanks.
The recommended PC requirements are:
Hard Drive Space :4 GB free hard space (Beta)
Operating System :Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7/Mac
Processor : 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
RAM :1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
Video Card :128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card

Hope this helps.
I have a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2009 model) with 2 gig of ram with the Nvidia 9400M.
I'd say it plays OK on Low. Framerate drops considerably with lots of units, but still playable. Medium setting seems playable with campaign but the framerates seems to be in the high teens and I probably would not recommended it for multiplayers. The new 2010 models should do slightly better but don't count on setting it to High or Ultra.
In Low setting, Gfx-wise, it looks a little bit better than StarCraft 1 (Original). Don't expect a WOW factor.
For me, I have it installed on a much more powerful machine (PC) with all setting jacked up to max and it looks pretty sweet I'd only play on my MacBook if I'm away from home.
Good Luck Hope to see you in battlenet

Will more RAM make my Macbook Pro run faster/smoother?

I've been scowering the internet for information about the best way to improve the performance of my Macbook Pro. Not sure who to listen to.
Here's my situation:
I have MacKeeper, which I run to rid my pc of extra files and junk.
I am running Parallels 9 and Windows 7 Ultimate (which I use daily for work purposes).
I more often than not run many programs simultaneously (which I think is the reason for its lag).
I am contemplating purchasing the max amount of RAM possible for my computer. Not sure what that is. 16GB, I think.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,5
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.26 GHz
Number of Processors:          1
Total Number of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          5 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz

Get rid of MacKeeper if you wish to improve performance: How to Remove MacKeeper. You can install up to:
Maximum Memory
8.0 GB
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
You do not have sufficient memory to run OS X and Parallels w/Windows. A minimum of 8 GBs is required for decent performance.

Will the ram from a "macbook pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" work in a "MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7"

I have a 2008? MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram. Can I use 2 GB ram from the old machine in a new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7 ?
/bc

Very likely not.
RAM gets improved over time like everything else, so if the RAM is too old it won't be compatible with newer machines.
TO confirm, use Crucial.com and punch in each machine, then read the RAM requirements and specifications, if they match, then your good.
But I'm willing to bet they won't be beause of the age difference between the two machines.

I accidentally modified my photos on my 2009 iMac (running leopard). Sharing was enabled and modified the photos via my MacBook Pro(running iLife11).Now I can't view photos on iMac.Can this be reversed?

The photos on my iMac have been modified to be read by iLife 11 (which is installed on my MacBook Pro). Now I am unable to view my photos on the iMac as I have an older version of iPhoto installed. Can this modification be reversed perhaps using time-machine?

No, Library conversion to iPhoto 11 is one way only. You will need to upgrade you iMac to iPhoto 11.

Macbook is quicker than the 2.16GHz/15 MacBook Pro running Final Cut Studio

CreativeMac.com ran a few Final Cut Studio tests on a dual 2GHz PowerMac G5, 2.16GHz MacBook Pro and on the 2GHz Macbook.
Read the artcile and check out the test scores. In some tests, especially using Compressor the Macbook whoops both the MacBook Pro and the dual PowerMac G5.
It is quite impressive to see how close the Macbook got to the MacBook Pro in some tests and interesting to see how much quicker in a selected few.
http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717

Interesting ... the Apple Store in Santa Monica swore blind to me yesterday that the MacBook can't run Final Cut (not that it would have disuaded me from getting the 15" Pro with 7200 drive and 2GB RAM). It flies, has no whine, doesn't get that hot and the build quality (apart from a slightly off-horizontal eject key) is excellent. (Week 16 model)

How do I get Snow to work with MacBook Pro running Tiger?

I have a MacBook Pro running Tiger (obviously), and have been trying to get my Snow base station (a.k.a. Dual Ethernet) to work with it, but couldn't.
After hours of searching these pages, Apple Support and Google, I found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301510
So...it seems like it can't be done. The question now is...what do I do? The Support page doesn't give me any help
Anyone have any tips?

Just to confirm, n5k, the article 301510 says, 'To administer the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite) or second-generation AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) from a Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" computer, you must use AirPort Admin Utility'. It doesn't say it can't be done at all, just that that neither of the Airport Setup Assistants will work.
I'm having the same problem as you, accessing the Internet from a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.6 (yes, obviously) through a Snow Base Station. Now I am wondering if we will be helped by the MacBook Pro SMC (whatever that stands for) Firmware Update which I am downloading now.

Aperture will not open on 13" Macbook pro

Aperture will not open my 13" MacBook Pro running Lion after I have updated the software. I tried a restart and still no luck. Wondering what my other options are. Thank you

You're most welcome.

My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7 will no longer connect to either my HP or Epson printers. Both printers report that they are connected to the correct wireless network and until 2 weeks ago work perfectly.

My Macbook pro running Lion 10.7 will not connect via a wireless network to either of my printers, Epson and HP. Both printers report an excellent connection to the correct network. The Macbook reports "printer not found"
Until 2 weeks ago all worked well. Both printers makes me think some setting in the computer must have changed.
Any suggestions?

System Preferences>Fax & Scan. Delete the printers and re-add them back in.

I have screwed up a bunch of settings etc. on macbook pro running preinstalled lion. I think I should is to wipe the computer and reinstall to start over again. I will loose nothing of importance except a few passwords. Is this wise? How do I do it?

I have screwed up a bunch of settings, folders, photos, etc on my macbook pro running factory installed Lion. To get everything straightened out, I was thinking I should do a delete and reinstall and just start over like it was a brand new computer. I will only loose some usermane and password info and my history and cookies. There is nothing else on the computer that is not on another device somewhere. Does this sound like the right thing to do? I cannot seem to find ways to correct the problems indivdually, though I am sure they are there. If so, how do I do it? My computer did not come with any type of disc, I do not believe. Thanks in advance for anyone's help!

Yes, that sounds reasonable.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list.
      Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
        and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process
      has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

my macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?

try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple

I am not sure you have home shareing with 10.4.11 but if you do it works very nicely

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro running on OS 10.8.2 to a Linksys EA3500 router and when I go to click on the set up icon I get an "unsupported operating system". Any suggestions on what to do? The Linksys site is useless.

Don't use the CD software its not necessary.
Infact put it in the trash.
Your router will have an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1
Connect your router to your Mac via Ethernet cable (They usually supply one with the router and don't worry which end goes where the Mac LAN socket is bi-directional)
Also connect your router to your telephone line.
Now open your Web browser Safari . Type in the IP address above and a Javascript control panel will launch
Enter the default password and username (They are on a label on the router )
Your now have the ability to set up your router.
Your will need the password and user name supplied to you by your ISP at a minimum.
Enter these and most modern routers automatically configure the basic networking setting.
You now need to go to the security setting and set this as WPA2 Personal (NOT Enterprise) or WPA2 with AES and TKIP which ever it refers to and create a pass-phase. WRITE it down
You should be online.
Now remove the cable and connect to the Wifi and enter that passphase.

My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
