15 mid-2010 "MACBOOKPRO renovation tips

I got a MacBookPro brand new and don't know what to do with my old. I guess I could sell it if my drug dealer wants to be paid earlier than expected, but for now, I am now. Love having two monitors on my desk makes feel me important. In addition, I hardly used the keyboard, I've kept this Mac on a stand of M and used a magic mouse and keyboard magic. If the Mac still seems pretty sweet.

What can I do to my macbookpro refurb more old?

I've attached screenshots which show the specs.

I guess the first thing would be a HD SSD? Keeping in mind that I will change the parts myself (and I'm not particularly tech-savvy) can you recommend a specific HD? Also all other parts replaced, as the graphics card?

Thank you very much!

A 2010 MBP accepts up to 8 GB of RAM.  This will help especially if you run a 10.9 OSX or newer.

If the bank account is fat, install an SSD.  Even if the 2010 MBP has connectivity SATA2, current SSDS are retro-compatible.  You won't get maximum performance on their part, but it will still be much faster interpreter.

For the RAM and SSD, OWC and Crucial are my recommendations based on reputation and personal experience.

Ciao.

  • 15 mid-2010 "MacBook Pro Logic Board

    Excuse me if I do this wrong, because this is the first time I ever used something like this, other than looking for things.  So I apologize in advance for any missteps.

    I recently took my mid-2010 "15, 2.4 GB MacBook Pro in an Apple retailer approved and found the logic board is the problem.  They also informed me that there was a 'reminder' on this point to be replaced free of charge.  However, this recall went to day a few years ago.  Nice, since I have nothing received from Apple on any reminder & it was not giving me any problems so far, apparently I'm screwed now.  The dealer said that because my machine is now considered to be "vintage", Apple has more room, the #661-5566 or #661-6360 in stock MLB & my logic board current should be sent to Florida to Arizona to be "renovated" and then reinstalled.  Apparently costing a little more than $500.  Ouch!

    I had been thinking of buying the new 2016 15 "MacBook Pro when it comes out later this year and using my old one as a backup.  However, as Apple could not extend the courtesy of advising me of this initial reminder of my logic board, spare me $500, I am strongly reconsider this purchase.  Unfortunately, I like Apple products and have bought several iPads, the large iPad Pro and Apple iPhones right up through my iPhone current 6.  Invested in Apple's it makes profoundly difficult to get away from them, but not impossible.  Had they notified me of the recall, I wouldn't have these problems now.

    My logic Board recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  • Re-install Snow Leopard to a notice of Imac I3 mid-2010?

    Hello

    I have already received some good answers in another thread, but it had a different title, so I thought that I post here and maybe some members will more experience with this:

    I just bought a used Imac which is currently being shipped to me.  Here are the specs: mid-2010 21.5 inches screen, model A1311, series: W8114294DAS, Intel Core I3 3.06 ghz processor.

    He will come running to El Capitan, but they advised me to wipe the drive and reinstall the original operating system, which is the snow leopard, and then upgrade from there to El Capitan, with my own Apple ID. However, it seems to be difficult with this particular model. If the computer is initially supplied with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. My drive of detail might not work for the re - install.  I was told that Apple would be able to ship me a custom. I've also read about yet another thread that maybe these models came with a slightly different version of Snow Leopard, and this is why the retail CD may not work, even if the computer came with version 10.6.3. and it would be better to get a custom. Is this true?

    Then there may be a problem with an update of the firmware that the computer may or may not have and which could cause problems (not allow Snow Leopard install at all, or instead to install Lion). Is it possible to say if he had this update and maybe disable it before attempting to erase and install Snow Leopard?

    Does anyone have advice/stories to share before I actually try it? Or what would be the best way to go about this? I thought that I would try my SL CD detail first, and I hope that it will work. Otherwise, I could order the CD on measure and try this one. If I can't erase, at least I didn't damage, but what happens if I erase the disc, but then failed to install Snow Leopard? I was left with a blank computer. Or I would be able to install it once the disc has been erased?

    Someone also said using SuperDuper may erase the disc elsewhere or at least to make a back-up? I have not used before. There is no personal information on the computer again, I would try to re - install before anything else, so I just need a way to install El Capitan under my Apple ID, then I'll be able to install updates, or even a new operating system, as it becomes available.

    Is there a risk to try to use my SL CD detail if it allows me to erase and install (such as the installation of the 'wrong' version of Snow Leopard)?

    Here is the link to the original thread: purchases used Imac tips?

    Thanks for any idea!

    You can try this much easier.

    1 - Connect to App store with your apple ID.

    2 - install download 10.11 - he will say that you have already installed just 10.11 to proceed.

    3. create a usb installation program.

    4 - start the installer - erase hard drive and install a clean copy of 10.11

    5. place the iMac with your apple ID.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook Pro could not be repaired

    Hey guys,.

    My MacBook 2010 Mid Pro unfortunately has a problem with the logic board and fits in this issue:

    https://www.Apple.com/au/support/MacBookPro-videoissues/

    After a match with apple care (which was extremely helpful and friendly), they determined it was a vintage product and could not be fixed by them. So, my question is that since the program is still in business and my problem is a known issue, are there options for me?

    I don't know, but this applies to the 2010 Ant models the way that I read it. This program is for units from early 2011 and so would not apply in a mid-2010.

  • Windows 10 install on mid 2010 Macbook Pro 6,1 (2.66 17 ")

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my Macbook.

    My Macbook is:

    MacBook Pro, Mid 2010 6.1 2.66 ghz

    8 gb Ram (standard)

    500 GB HDD (standard) Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB SSD

    El Capitan 10.11.2 OSX

    I try to install windows from ISO 10 Windows available on the Microsoft website.

    (https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10ISO)

    My first question was that I could not create a bootable USB drive using bootcamp on my MacBook model.

    I followed this guide to change the info.plist file and create a USB bootable with bootcamp. (http://tsentas.net/create-a-windows-7-or-later-version-install-disk-missing-on-e l-capitan /)

    I got to the point where I select the BOOTCAMP partition I would like to install, however, received the error:

    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I solved the problem of GPT/MBR by using this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/508026/windows-detects-gpt-disk-as-mbr-in-efi-boo t

    Then installing windows told me that my hard drive was not, I tried to continue the installation, but that failed. I checked the disk utility, and of course my disk S.M.A.R.T. status was "not..." So I've upgraded to a Samsung SSD (can't believe I did this more soon... so much faster)

    Where I am: The installation now progresses from player selection and copy files. However, I get the error at the very end:


    "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer . . Installation cannot continue. »

    I tried to delete, reformat the partition in the windows installation. Re-partitioning via bootcamp and resetting the PRAM I have worked for others. (rebooting and holding CMD + OPTION + P + R)

    However, I'm stuck now.

    Please HELP. It drives me crazy.

    Thanks in advance.

    You've seen just the tip of the iceberg. You install an EFI operating system no UEFI Mac compatible. Can you run a SMC reset - reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support and try again? Most likely, it is impossible to create/update the BCD. Be aware that you will encounter problems of driver or hardware may not appear when you use EFI boot.

    A better method is to install W7 / W8 + and then upgrading to W10 on-site. If you have purchased a license W10, this cannot be a valid option.

    See > install memory in an iMac - Apple Support

    Problem is that the Mac is very picky and not just any PC3-10600 1333 MHz modules will work.

    Your best bet is to buy for providers like OWC and Crucial memory modules that specialize iMac RAM.

  • Reset foolproof Mid 2010 iMac

    Hey people and our apologies in advance to those of you who are aware, I am the fool who needs protection against

    I am trying to reset the iMac family as it has been rumbling along for close to 6 years accumulating all the usual garbage. Multiple users, multiple libraries etc. My feeling is to do a factory reset and then spend some time setting the system manually rather than Time Machine etc. I know it's rather long, but I want to make sure that whatever it is on the iMac is here to design rather than a hangover or an oversight. I will also be implemented as a user to avoid the trash in a triple that we had before.

    so... the question is how to do the factory reset without risk. I took all the files that I want to disable external hard drives and I have TM backups too. My only concern is because it is a 2010 that I have more no disks. IS this a problem or I'll be able to use the Restorer online?

    Machine - iMac (27-inch, mid 2010), 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3, 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB, macOS Sierra 10.12

    If the computer is running Sierra what you can do is to restart in the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition

    Then, open disk utility and erase the internal HD ATTENTION! This will clean the HD.

    Then close THE, and then select install Mac OS and select the internal HD. This will install a clean version of Mac OS X on the computer.

    Once OS X is installed, select Restart and make sure that you choose the HD internal as boot drive. Once the computer restarts with your new version of Sierra you can start to install your applications and restore your files, settings, etc...

  • What happened to Sierra Mac Mini mid-2010?

    What happened to Sierra Mac Mini mid-2010?  As a first step, I realized it was the lower end of the system requirements.  Many citations on the support pages and anywhere on the web say "Mac Mini mid-2010 or newer."  But now, after half a day struggling with the installation, I find that he must now be "mid-2011 or newer!  Changed Whaaaa?

    Bear with me as I am the most fundamental basic Mac users. I am currently using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 I don't use Skype or FaceTime or something like that. Recently, I joined an online course in which they said I need a webcam, headset and microphone so that I can communicate with my instructor and discussions in class.

    I have really no idea what hardware inside is on my laptop. Is the built in camera something that could be used for this purpose? Or do I need to buy these separately three elements to make this work? And if yes, are you easy to install and can anyone recommend something good, but also low-cost as possible.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Your built in FaceTime, camera is sufficient. This is the idea. outdoor cameras are mostly a thing of the past. If the internal webcam is broken, an external is always an option repair vs.

    You may need their proprietary software to connect to their course however

  • Mac Mini (mid-2010) fan running full speed

    I went on the hard drive of a few years for one SSD OEM and the fan runs all the time.  In my view, there is a connector on the card, which has no connection with it.

    I read that this occurs when the thermal sensor is not placed on the new hard drive.

    How many connection should be here soon out of the drive to connect to the map?

    How can I fix?

    TIA

    The original HD had a sensor taped to the road with adhesive tape double faces. You had to move the sensor to the new drive. Without the detector, the fan runs at full speed.

    What ha [[ERA of the sensor on your Mac?

  • Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

    I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

    I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
    Here are my system specs:


    Presentation of the material:

    Model name: MacBook Pro

    Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    L3 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 8 GB

    Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

    Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

    What I tried (from what I remember):

    I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

    If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

    So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.
