Applications of gel in El Capitan on MacBook Mid 2010

I find that some applications (Safari, reminders, Notes, etc.) are freeze after several hours of use.   Back on the MacBook gives solves problems, but only for about eight hours or more.

The problem occurs even if I start the MacBook and not to use any application.  After several hours, the apps freeze and I just got the color wheel.

I use a MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (unibody Mid-2020) with 8 GB of RAM.  I'm on OSX 10.11.4

So far, I've tested memory (OK) and working in Mode safe (problem still happens).  I can't run AHT (not), but I will be grateful if anyone has any ideas.

If your model has replaceable memory by the user and you have upgraded modules of memory, please reinstall the original memory and see if there is any improvement. Make sure not to touch the Gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Spare memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.

Apple diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, as generally unreliable, sometimes detects a fault. A negative test may not be depended on. Run the long version of the test, if necessary.

    What I would do is to backup your data on an external drive,

    Restart the mac while holding the ⌘R until the apple logo appears and wait until the boot process is completed. It may take more time to start.

    Once in recovery mode select your preferred language, click on update or reinstall a copy of OS X., select your drive and wait for the process to do. (Also click on continue and accept all that)

    One time did Shutdown and finished reinstall then start in recovery mode again (⌘R) and then click on restore Time Machine backup and then use the backup that you have saved on your external drive. Do you know how to use time machine to back up data in system preferences?

    Best regards

  • Frequency max RAM MacBook mid-2010 (7.1)

    Hello

    I wanted to update my MAC Book (mid-2010 - 7.1) with chip Ram 2 x 4 GB of Kingston. I got the last race of El Capitan, and even with just 2x2gb it actually works very well.

    I bought two Kingston KVR16LS11/4 - with 1600 MHz. The dealer told me that it will work with any MACBook.

    So I installed the two chips and nothing happens after that I press the Start button. ?!?!

    Do something wrong? The chips are not fair? I was wondering if maybe the frequency of chips is high priority - but I always thought, that the system it will operate at a lower frequency if necessary.

    Any chance of getting the chips running?

    Greetings

  • I need to upgrade my Mac (MacBook white unibody mid 2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD

    I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

    MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    < re-titled by host >

    They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

    OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

    For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

    OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

  • Slow Internet - mid-2010 MacBook Pro w / El Capitan

    So I have a MacBook Pro 15 mid-2010 "running OS X El Capitan." A week ago my internet started running very slowly, until the point where it's impacting on my ability to get the work done. The speed seems to be the same if I'm at work or at home and if I connect via WIFI or connect directly to the router.

    I was reviewed in the nets of support without success. I have reset the PRAM and the SMC which seems to help briefly, but then the internet speed slowed considerably again in 30 minutes approximately.

    In addition, do not know if it of related or not, but I opened the Terminal today to try a solution suggested and noticed that my root directory is: ' melissas-iphone: ~ scottnewman$ ". I have absolutely no idea how melissas-iphone bears on my MacBook, and nobody in my family or connected to my Apple ID named melissa.

    The help of this community would be much appreciated!

    Hello scnewman!

    I would definitely internet speeds when I'm on my Mac to act normally, too.  It makes it that much better.  Two resets are good to try.  If you haven't done so already, you can run the Apple Hardware Test from the MacBook Pro to rule out other problems: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

    After this, you can create a new user to check if it's a large system or a specific user: How to test one question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

    Then goes into safe mode, too: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

    Response with no result and we can take it from there.

    See you soon!

  • Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

    Hi all

    I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

    Thank you!

    The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

    If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

    Ciao.

  • 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

    Total number of cores: 2

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    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.

  • MacBook pro mid-2010 shows prohibited signs

I did everything and worked hard to solve this problem during these two days, but I couldn't solve my spirit is skipped now. Please help me how I can bring life in my macbook again.

    Sorry for my English thanks to you all

    Everything you described point to a failing HARD drive or possibly a bad SATA cable.  Remove the HARD drive, install it in a well known pen, plug it into the MBP via USB and start the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If the HARD drive icon and the MBP, boots, inner cable is the main suspect.  If it doe does not start the MBP, the HARD drive failed.

    Ciao.
