  • Mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro does not stop

    My mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro running El Capitan (v 10.11.5) won't shut down or restart. Taken to the Apple store where they ran diagnostics on it and can't find anything wrong. Suggested I have reinstall the OS. I reinstalled, then backed up with Time Machine. The problem persists.

    I think I can get a report of incidents which may be helpful, although I've never shared before. To include or omit any information would be helpful.

    Especially the crash report reads "identifier" and "responsible" as: "com.apple.AmbientDisplayAgent". Type 'Exception' is ' EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) "and the" subject crashed ' reads ' queue 5 sending: DispEventQueue "."

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I see now mid-2012 retina Macbook Pro El Capitan (v 10.11.5) running.

    It does nothing?  I think I would resume.

    They run the VST (video-Test systems)?  If this isn't the case, I'll ask for it.

  • Looking to upgrade RAM on mid-2012, 13 ".  Need advice!

    Hey guys,.

    I'm looking to upgrade the RAM on my MacBook Pro 8 GB to 16 GB.  I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid-2012 with a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7.  I was looking for confirmation that this is possible and I was wondering what sticks of RAM I have to buy.

    It's the RAM I think to buy.

    Which resembles the specification of right for the RAM, I'd go personally with Crucial rather than Corsair.

  • How can I change safe my mid August 2009 MacBook Pro of El Capitan safe...?

    Unfortunately my iPhone 5 has stopped working yesterday, so I had a 6s, but I'm still in 10.7.5 naturally now I need to update my laptop, but the last time I tried to update my laptop a few years apparently from what had been told to me by the MacMall apple technician in Santa Monica , it's that I didn't delete the old partition out of my HD, then the laptop was stuck in a lock box. Which resulted in me having to wipe the HD. Is there a way to access El Capitan safely without any headaches and being able to have my files in order with the new OS...? My MacBook Pro is a Mid-August 2009 with processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM. Thanks in advance, any comment on this situation is welcomed.

    Here are a few steps you need to take before moving on to the latest version of Mac OS X.

    First, run the software update or the App Store and install all the updates available for the operating system you have now. The system must be in good working condition. Do not expect an upgrade of the operating system to repair a computer that is abnormally slow or unstable. More likely, the upgrade will make the problem worse.

    If you have less than 4 GB of memory, as shown in the box about this Mac, and your model has an expandable memory, install at least that a large part, or preferably the maximum amount of the machine can use according to the specificationsof Apple. If the memory is not expandable, or you don't want to upgrade, turn off using a newer Mac OS x version until you decide to buy a new computer.

    If you have already upgraded the memory, check the specs to make sure that the memory is compatible, both the type and capacity. Do not install more memory that is officially supported by the model. Sellers of spare memory may contradict Apple specifications because they want to sell memory. Their guarantees that you can exceed the specs are not not trustworthy. Although the memory of out-of-spec worked, it may not work after the OS upgrade, or you may not upgrade at all.

    Make sure all of your most important third-party software are up-to-date and compatible with the current OS x Very old versions of Microsoft and Adobe products, for example, may not be compatible. The Web site is the best source for this information. Incompatible third-party software causes almost all problems with OS X updates.

    Finally, in back up all the dataand be sure you know how to restore if you don't like the results of the upgrade.

    If you have a with a sufficient capacity storage device, you can copy the boot volume in disk utility, then run him and to upgrade. So, if you don't like the results, all you have to do is change the setting in the startup disk preferences pane and restart.

  • Why preview RAM 2 x faster on Macbook Pro vs. desktop PC?

    Hi all

    I RAM Preview a few seconds of a project AE CS6 on a desktop PC, I recently had to measure and was distraught discover he was twice as slow that view the exact clip on my Macbook Pro. The project involves simple 3D camera movements. Why would this be so, and can I change my PC settings to get more out of it? I would appreciate greatly any comments I can get... I'm still new to the world of Adobe and even newer to the configuration of the computer. Thank you!

    Thank you!!

    First comment: you attach a lot of RAM for external applications.

    On the PC, you allocate 2 GB of RAM per CPU and 4 CPUs, but you're only allocate 5 GB of total RAM for After Effects.  It does not match.  Allow at least 8 GB of RAM for AE, but preferably more.  I might try your PC to 12 GB for AE (4 GB for external applications) and see what happens. I'd probably also 6/8 CPU cores.

  • Keyboard will not be on when connecting. Mid-15, 15 "MacBook Pro w / retina.

    I don't know if that's how it is supposed to be or not. But I thought it would be a common sense that should the keyboard lit up as the Macbook Pro lights up on the login screen, but this one isn't. I wonder if this is supposed to be having no light until I logged in? If not, then how can I fix this to where the keyboard will be turned on when I turn on my Macbook Pro?

  • swapping of ram on mid 2012 Pro

    So im crossing my ram from 4 to 8 GB, and I wanted to know how my apps and files will be saved when I do the Exchange? do I have to set up a backup? not really knowledgeable about this stuff.

    Hi Yung beamer

    RAM has nothing to do with your saved apps & files. This is the temporary memory.

    Your saved apps and files are stored on the hard drive.

    That said, it is always advisable to back up your computer before performing any type of software or hardware upgrade.

  • Update 13 "mid-2012 Pro or wait on Pro 2016?

    OK, so here is where I am: I just got a Mid-2012 13 "Macbook Pro with an i5 2.5 gHz and 4 GB of RAM (inherited, so I didn't have to pay for it)."

    Everyone knows that it is better to wait for 2016 MacBooks before you buy anything, but I have more than one option now. I could sell this MacBook on my own for somewhere between $600-800 if I play my cards right and have a good bit of money to help me get a new Macbook. My other option is to put up $ 300 and throw in an SSD and some more RAM.

    What is the best bang for the buck? Where would my money better spent? Should I treat with a non-retine and push the SSD for somewhat better habitability or get a new Headrush?

    Oh, and in terms of how to use it? Mainly FCPX, which is not too bad now, but if I ever want to throw first or After Effects on here, it takes at least as RAM. Games is saved for my turn to Windows.

    There is no new MBP yet, and we can not discuss or speculate about future Apple products. If you choose to wait for the next big Apple product or not is a decision only you can make.

  • 2012-2016 Macbook vs

    Hi guys n girls.

    I hope you're fresh. I was wondering if I could you advice a few difficulties. I currently run a mid 2012 15 Macbook Pro with plug as follows:

    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024Mo

    There always works incredibly well after nearly four years and never gave me any problems, but I use the likes of Adobe Premier, after effects etc for my day-to-day work day and I noticed that she began to struggle when we're trying to work and get a preview in real time of the most important projects and those that use 4 K images.

    On this basis, I tried to upgrade. However, the new MacBook can not be stimulated as much as I thought I would. I'm looking for the specifications below and then the numbers are bigger...

    2.8 GHz Quad - core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 4.0 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM DDR3L

    Graphics card Intel Iris Pro + AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory

    .. .am I really notice that much difference and it would justify the price tag of £2150.

    Thank you very much

    J

    You should notice a significant difference.

    Only you can determine if this lack of insurance will be worth the cost.

  • MacBook pro 13 inch 2012 pcie ssd upgrade

    Is my mid-2012 13 "MacBook Pro compatible with PCIe SSD upgrade? I want to remove the internal optical disk and edit it in the PCIe SSD, so that I have 2 internal storage. Going to do?

    Your mention of an optical drive tells me you have a MBP non-retine.  PCI and PCIe SSDS are NOT compatible with your MBP.  You can install a card standard 2.5 "SSD in your MBP and still experience a significant increase in performance.  I suggest OWC SSD and Crucial.

    Ciao.
