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 ?

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.

    Which is the best company and is it necessary to buy it from the Apple store.

    Let's clear the air here between fact and fiction.
    Brand of RAM has little if anything to do with its quality.
    A reliable vendor is more important that brand of RAM.
    Installing faster rated RAM than required for your computer doesn't result in a faster computer. The RAM still runs at the speed of the system's memory bus.
    Installing slower rated RAM than required for your computer will make the computer run slower.
    Using faster rated RAM is a tricky business. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will not work. This may be due to other factors related to your computer's memory bus speed and clock speed as well as other characteristics of the RAM such as CAS Latency (CL.)
    The reliable thing to do is use RAM that meets the specifications set for your computer. That information is found in either the user manual or the system specs.

  • HT201250 When using the installation disc to start a Mac Pro that won't start; will the 'restore from backup' option erase all the data previously stored?

    When starting a Macbook Pro that has quit by using the disc that came with it, will the "restore from backup" option erase all previous data stored on the machine?

    As long as the backup on your external drive is fine, it will restore your Mac to exactly how it was on the date of that particular backup, all data included. I have used it before and have retained all data from the date of the backup.

  • Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini.

    I have a MacMini (Intel 2008 model) and I don't use the Airport in it. I want to remove the Airport in that mini and install it in my old MacMini (PPC 2006 model) which doesn't have Airport right now it has a usb wireless stick. I gave that old mini to my mother and she keeps forgetting that the sick is for her internet and removing it. it will also free up that usb port since right now there is no free usb port. Will the Airport from the new mini work in the old mini. I'm not afraid opening them I already installed ram myself in both.

    I assume the old PPC you have is a Mac Mini 1.42GHZ or 1.5GHZ G4 from 2005/2006, which should have shipped with AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR pre-installed. What happened to it?
    Anyway, both Mac mini models support Airport Extreme cards, but looking at the repair guides from ifixit.com, the Airport extreme cards look to be different in size.
    Mac Mini G4:
    Mac Mini Intel:
    For the PowerPC G4 model here is a guide on installing the Airport card: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Mac-mini-PowerPC-AirPort-Extreme-C ard/271/1
    For the Intel model: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-Mac-mini-Model-A1176-AirPort-Extre me/1112/1
    I don't think they would fit, but Good luck.

  • HT201269 Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • When I trade my cracked iPod in for a new one, will the information from my iPod be transferred to the new one?

    When I Trade My Cracked iPod for a New One, Will the Information From the Cracked iPod Be Transferred to the New One?

    That is done through iTunes.  If everything on your cracked iPod is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod the same way.
    If there is content on the cracked iPod that is not in your iTunes library, that content will be lost, unless you transfer its content to your computer before the "trade in."  Content that you purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.

  • What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro

    What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro, I am wanting to burn mainly wedding dvds but also sports and other things we used to use idvd but then upgraded our computers and now we dont have it. idvd was the only thing i could find that worked.
    Thanks

    There is no real substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

    You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone.
    So, yes, you need to get a sim card.

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,
    A
