• MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

  So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

  (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

  Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

  -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

  (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

  Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

  Snow Leopard erase and install

  1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
  3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
  4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
  5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
  6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
  7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
  8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

• Is it worth to replace a macbook pro with an old mac pro?

  I have a 13 "macbook pro mid 2012, core i5 2.5 ghz and 4 GB of RAM

  I plan to replace an old mac pro with intel xeon 3 GHz dual core or quad (maybe from 2009 or 2010) and slowly upgrade by adding more RAM, sound card, and video, etc. (I won't change the logic board)

  Computer will be used for the games, but especially for a music with logic studio Pro X (requires OS X El Capitan)

  It's worth?

  OK, now you have 2013MBP 13 inches, and you said topic you will use the computer to do some professional work as a music studio (btw, I somehow like music studio, but I could can't work on that to this life) and games.

  and now your account to replace it with a Mac Pro, which is a desktop computer, I have to say that they are in any other product, and you are already thinking on this subject, which means that you don't have to wear it around right? So, personally, I recommend the CHANGE! There?

  as you say you only have two choices, keep the macbook pro 13 "or replace with the older generation of the Mac Pro, I would say 13-inch MacBook Pro can almost do anything even the latest generation! since low-votage and integrated dual-core process just crappy graph, I don't really think its meet your needs (Audio Studio, game)

  So for you its might be interesting to replace it, but you may need to do the following to make the old gen Mac Pro more "usable".

  -Add the Ram, I remember its only accepts DDR2 ram (I think, not really sure, I have never had one of that), but get at least 16 GB of this and will be allowed to use the same sound only DDR2, you need measure the cost dedicated to Rams

  -Add the USB3.0 card. I didn't say more on this right? USB2 is somehow too crappy for now, if you need measure the cost of the USB3.0 card.

  -Probably to replace the hard drive, its massively improve loading speed if you have a fusion drive or an SSD, its depends on your own needs, if you want to do, then you need measure the cost of training you want to buy.

  -Replace the graphics card, its origin have something called AMD X 3100 or wat, really, remember its all just too old even glance at her age. and return at the time its totally new, it is not the series of cards that have the intention of game. According to the info you provided, you have need a map rendering and 3D design professional, but a card game, then you may need to replace it with more recently built AMD or Nvidia graphics card in game, try watching the series Geforce and Rasomething. and theres something that should be mentioned is the old Mac Pro motherboard, is somewhat different with PC on hardware support, so that the graphics card must take in charge the Mac EFI boot or something else. I do not see the HD7970 and the GTX7? 0 mac edition, which works perfectly after replacement, but also of boys randomly announcement that they got the PC normal edition of some cards and put it on the Mac Pro, its can't stand not EFI of Mac Pro type so that they can not see a shit only on the screen while the Startup logo should show, but once finished go , its works perfectly. That's what I've heard, I'm bloody tired and sleepy now (PLUS8 GMT) hope so I made an explanation clear outta giant paragraph. But anyway, because they have tested PC edition graphics card also works on Mac, theres a huge amount of graphics card, you can buy and before you buy, if your not sure if this does not work on Mac, just borrow one of it and test it just outside, or directly, so search for Mac guaranteed Mac-compatitable by manufacturing , you need measure the cost of this.

  -Possibly a map HiFi sound taking in charge waves and digital output since your doing audio studio, the price increases a breakfast unique price you can buy a car outta that, then choose the one you want and measure the cost.

  -the processor might be still allowed to use and the current level of normal performance, so you can just keep it, but if you want to update, of course, a position which cost.

  -The time you go to research / purchase parts/physically change/test this baby. as goes XD.

  That's essentially all you need to do if you decide to replace your MacBook Pro 13 "with the Mac Pro, the major concern is the cost of parts, other that neither that complex, just to the top, find open port, insertion/replacement material, FACT, USB3 card possible to require a driver, but all you have to do is click NEXT.

  OK, good luck pal and if you blow up your House all by improving the Mac Pro, don't tell anyone I gave you these suggestions ok? XDXD

• macOS on an aluminum Macbook late 2008 GM Sierra

• The upgrade of the MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010) HDD and RAM

  Hi all!

  Before I get started here are my system specs:

  MacBook 13 inch, mid-2010 (white)

  Model: A1342

  Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB

  Serial number: 451244SHF5W

  Software: OS X El captain

  OK here's what I've done the research and understand from my research since a page archived Apple.com, ifixit.com and crucial.com and some comments I've read as well:

  According to ifixit.com, saying that most of this computer can manage is a 750 GB hard drive, yet I go to Crucial.com and when I look at the SSD (which I can't afford) says that this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Does this mean I could install a hard 1 TB? This computer can manage a second 500 GB hard drive at all? My second Question is in what regards the memory now, I go to apple.com page archived and is no longer being updated by Apple, it says most who manages this computer is 2 GB to 4 GB. I am not convinced. Is not possible to move to 8 GB to 16 GB or more on such a system? I'm just curious, I bought this from a seller on eBay who reconditions the Apple laptops and I bought this for a member of the family. If none of these improvements are possible I send this computer back and get my money back. Thanks for the help. I need a response as the end of today! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

  It's the right information:

  A model of Macbook 2010 7 identifier, 1 will support up to 16 GB of RAM (download the OWC)

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_Wh ite

  You can install a SATA HDD/SSD currently available that are 2 TB of capacity.

  You can install a "data cube" instead of for a second HDD, but as this Macbook DVD drive can have a 2 TB of HARD disk installed, I see little interest to do unless you have an extraordinary amount of data.

  Ciao.

• This Bohemian Macbook 13 inch sleeve suitable for my new Macbook?

  This Bohemian Macbook 13 inch sleeve suitable for my new Macbook?

  She will be sure the sleeve quite rightly if I put in place with the adapter mouse and laptop computer?

  I've been successfully applied a particular code to order a $3.99 one:

  days of http://www.inateck.com/Flash-Deals/Mother.

  I am hesitant to buy this deal right now.

  If it were me, I would never buy a cover for my new Mac without trying in person in a store. You want to make sure that the vents on the Mac be covered so it won't overheat.

  If you can, go to an Apple Store and buy a he.

  Promos for a new Mac? You have reason to hesitate. Considering the cost of a new Mac, probably not a good idea.

• I think to buy a new MacBook to replace my MacBook pro mid-2010, which still runs but becomes slow.  They say the current MacBook pro without retina display (which I don't think I need) is an old system and may be obsolete soon - true?

  I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow.   I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

  Barbara cfrompa says:

  Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.

  I too have a MBP 2010.  I installed an SSD and that increased performance.  Consider that as an option.

  You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP.  Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance.  With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.

• Problem loading aluminum MacBook

  I have an old MacBook aluminum (Late 2008) I've recently returned to service. It was just a machine I would use sometimes when I was too lazy to break my work MacBook Pro. It had been for months without any problem under Snow Leopard (10.6.8) when I decided I wanted it to be less painful to use.

  I opted for the level to El Capitan (it runs 10.11.4), then installed a full clean of El Capitan (Nothing in here I had no elsewhere). Everything went super smooth. I use the machine for a few weeks and just recently ran into problems with the load.

  Symptoms:

  The indicator on the side of the body flashes final light when you press. The operating system reported 99% charge and recharge. The power adapter is orange. It remains like this indefinitely until I take action.

  Temporary workaround solution:

  If I use the machine and drain the battery less than about 70%, hook up, close the lid and leave her be she will hit "99%" and the led turns green. However, if I unplug for a reason, and she goes to the battery, next time I plug her unless I have greatly drained the battery it will load indefinitely.

  Troubleshooting to date:

  I did a reset SMC and the workaround mentioned above. I was unable to perform a test of start-up equipment; I think I need the original Leopard install CD and I'm not even sure that I have at this point. Can I get a copy of Snow Leopard, lying around but if I really need.

  Other info:

  I'm sure that the battery has bad cells; It points to about 20 - 30% charge (hard death). A few years ago, she was dying to 89%; the Apple Store has determined the battery was dead cells and had to be replaced. I replaced the battery with a genuine Apple replacement provided by Genius Bar. I currently have no spare hardware in the machine (while I was playing with the idea of launching a Crucial SSD in there, so I can solve this problem of load).

  Thank you.

• Can I add storage at my Air of MacBook 13 inch, purchased mid-2011, which has 121 GB storage capacity, on which 12,28 GB are currently free.

  Can I add storage to my 13-inch MacBook Air, purchased mid-2011?  Its storage capacity is 121 GB, on which 12,28 GB are currently free.

  You can replace the internal flash SSD with greater capacity, a drive. It would be easier to add something external.

• Replace a Macbook with a notice of need broken screen

  My hard drive went out on my early 2011 Macbook Pro with a broken screen. The broken screen this weekend, I've not had the chance to put in place for repair. Before the hard drive went out I used it Clamshack mode I know that it does not in recovery mode, but how bad of an idea do you think it would be to replace the hard drive and install Mac OS X blindly? Or do you think I should buy a tablet in Windows of 100 dollar budget to use temporary while that I set up for the fixed screen?

  I can't speak for your calendar or your budget, but... I asked when my MBP 2011 will no longer support the Genius Bar (products Apple will "legacy / obsolete ' possibly) the deadline is the end of this year early next year.   Don't wait too long to save for repair in my opinion.

• What is the risk to replace a Macbook Pro Retina screen myself?

  Hi guys, this is my first post, I recently dropped my Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid A1502 2014 for laptop, it still works but the screen is broken, lines are widespread all over the screen, I recently bought a complete of the LCD Assembly for my model, I was just wondering how risky it would be for me to fix it yourself using information online I've read a few articles from Ifixit and the sides are very positive with people who have tried and succeeded. anyone has done this before and would you recommend to me?

  Here's a screenshot of my screen LCD Assembly and my Macbook Pro, thanks for the help.

  

  If you ask the question, then you know that the risk is that you may damage the computer, the new Assembly of screen or both. Consider letting the local Apple seller fix if for you.
