• Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

  Hello

  My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

  I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

  My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

  Advice/suggestions appreciated.

  See you soon

  Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

  See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

  As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

• The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?

  I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?

  Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.

  Thank you!

  My answer is no.

  However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.

  However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

  You are right 99jon... with open Photoshop, you click on 'Open' and 'Finder' opens in the window with 'Photos' listed. It's all a bit messy, but seems to work. Thanks again for your help. Bi

  I just got an upgrade DVD Amazon's LR5.  There is no option .pkg for installation on a MacBook Pro.  Only setup32.exe, and setup32.64.  What should I do?

  You can try to download the Mac version and using the serial number of the drive.  LR serial numbers are normally good for both platforms.

• I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

  I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

  This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.

  Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

  Thank you

  Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

  Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

  Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

  Ciao.

• Windows 8 drivers for the printer HP Officejet Pro 8600Plus

  Where can I download windows drivers for the printer HP Officejet Pro 8600Plus 8?

  I think I see what's happening. You have recently upgraded to Windows 8, and you don't have to uninstall and reinstall the software for your printer for the new OS. Now, nothing works as it should. Fortunately, this is a fairly simple solution. Uninstall the printer software and reinstall it using the packaging designed for Windows 8. I'll link the software below. Let me know what happens.

• The upgrade from XP - Pro 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro questions

  I'm working on a T3400 precision with XP Professional. I believe that when it was purchased in January 2010, it's a PC running Windows 7 Pro and he ordered with an installed XP Professional downgrade. The sticker on the Tower Microsoft says Windows 7 Pro.

  In any case, it is on the "Compatible with Windows 7" list of Dell, but I'm under Windows 7 Upgrade advisor to check that there is no problem. (It worked for at least 3 hours now...) We did no change of material from the purchase - just different programs.

  I read the guide from Microsoft for the upgrade & I understand I have to perform a custom Setup out of the upgrade disc. Which means reinstalling all my programs. Which is a pain but nothing I can't handle most of my programs. Except that I am concerned about programs that was already installed on the PC by Dell. Namely my Adobe Acrobat & Microsoft Office 2007 programs. Did I lose those? Or I'll be able to download & reinstall the wrench off the Microsoft sticker on my tour?

  We have not bought a disc yet. I guess that we need Windows 7 Pro upgrade disc. Anything else I should know?

  In the United States, you can request a Dell installation disk:

  support.Dell.com/.../backupcd_form

  Alternatively, you can also install using retail media, then activate by phone from Microsoft (not Dell) using the product on your COA key:

  www.heidoc.NET/.../14-Windows-7-direct-download-links

  In regards to Adobe and office... you should have received license for those cards.  If you have lost, you can probably recover with Magic Jelly Bean or similar, get support for retail, then activate using the keys.

• Holders for the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Professional (Win Vista Bus for Win 7 Pro UPG Media) that I purchased from NewEgg.  I want to upgrade to 64 - bit, but I didn't get 32-bit support.  This would require another purchase for the upgrade of the media?

  Yes, you will need to buy the 64-bit disc separately for distributions of Windows 7 OEM. Releasing it's easy: with Windows | ActiveWin | Laptops | Microsoft MVP

• From what I read, if I buy a commercial version full of windows 7, I am not eligible for the upgrade of $14.95 to windows 8 in about 6 months.

  I'm about to buy a computer with 16 GB of memory. I'll of course need a 64 bit OS, it looks like a good time to switch to windows 7, XP. But windows 7 seems to have a very short life span. The OEM version is eligible for a special download offer upgrade $ 14.95 to windows 8 that seems due Q1 2013, but it seems that the retail version is not eligible for this offer? Like many people I do not upgrade OS every time is out. But why would I pay for an OS which is replaced in 6 months?

  Huh?

  14.99 reduction is a limited offer in time when you buy a new computer between June 2, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, with Windows 7. By October 26, 2012, the PC of all major manufacturers will come preloaded with Windows 8. The thing, it is likely to be the inventory on the market with Windows 7 for a while of OEM brand. If a consumer buys one of them, they should have the eligibility for the upgrade of Windows 8.

  Of course, you can buy the new computer with Windows 7 pre-loaded, acquire the Windows 8 upgrade what becomes availalable and install it at your leisure and activate it whenever you're ready.

  Yes, the retail version of Windows 7 is not eligible for the upgrade 14.99 discount, but you can get an updated copy of Windows 8 Pro for 39.99 beginning October 26, 2012 and ending on January 31, 2013.

• Since the upgrade to first Pro CC 2015.1 version 9.1.0 (174) version all my media is on hold. How can I fix it?

  Since the upgrade to first Pro CC 2015.1 version 9.1.0 (174) version all my media is on hold. How can I fix it?

  I've been using the last verisions and upgrades were OK. I recently allowed my computer upgraded to Windows 10, all right. Organization worked OK, until the update of the week last in the latest version. the first project that I opened was to be converted (normal), but all media is pending, including in the media browser.

  No media has been moved.

  How can I fix?

  If I've been using this for a life I would be quite upset now.

  Imagine if I were to dig trenches Friday with my shovel Catapillar and cat updated engine on Saturday and Monday I find that it will not dig more... :-(

  It seems that I fixed it myself, but I do not know what part was fixing.

  I found the menu to clean the cache, Edit > preferences > Media, Media Cache database and click on clean up. Who did nothing immediately, so I stop the program and restarted.

  During the restart of all media is now here.

  Why have I not to do... Grrrrr.
