  • 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.

    I have download on adobe.com. When I click on 'Install', I have this message:

    "Setup failed to initialize. Please download adobe support advisor.

    or in french "Setup could not initialize. "It is may be that a file is not found, download Adobe Support Advisor pour identifying the problem.

    Unfortunately, Adobe Support Advisor is no longer available.

    As I saw on a different forum, I try Adobe cleaning tool, but he found nothing. My MBP is empty, it seems normal...

  • Can I install Airdrop on my iMac 2009?

    I am trying to upgrade my OSX 10.5.8 on my iMac9, 1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have installers for Yosemite and El Captain on my MacBook Pro, but I can't find a way to get them to the older iMac. It's current OSX is not supported by Dropbox, the file is too large for e-mail, even when condensed, and I don't have a CD that is large enough. Airdrop can be installed on my iMac and who would do the trick?

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Catherine

    Your iMac does support AirDrop.

    To update to OS X, you will need to do it in steps. First of all, on your iMac using Software Update in the  menu. This should take you to OS X 10.6.8 who will install the Mac App Store application. Once this is done, launch and use the screen more compatible fo updates updates.

  • I want to install Adobe CC to my macbook, I thought needed a clean install of El Capitan on a drive in orer to work properly. However, I can not install El Capitan on the app store. My equipment is a beginning 11 Macbook Pro. It would be better?

    Adobe CC is tested on Sierra?

    Sierra will work, but not all the bells and whistles on a 11 first Macbook Pro?

    That of El Capitan can be installed without it is available on the Mac App Store?

    Y at - it a link to a clean, fresh and full installation current of El Capitan available anywhere?

    (Rather than install and perform updates?)

    What is suggested for a 11 first owner Macbook Pro who wants to run Adobe CC on the current material and wants to install a new os before installation of Adobe?

    Y at - it a link to a clean, fresh and full installation current of El Capitan available anywhere?

    (Rather than install and perform updates?)

    If the installation program is still available, it will be to the latest version. No updates (no updates) would be necessary. He would install 10.11.6.

    Look under your "Purchase" tab for the El Capitan software.

    CC Adobe will install on any version of Mac OS X.

    can I install maker pro 5 on system 10.8.5 file

    This picture seems to say what version you can run with what MacOS:

    http://help.FileMaker.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/4701/~/FileMaker-Pro-operating-Syst th-requirements - all versions

    version 5.5.1 COULD operate under 10.8.5, but because they are up to version 15, I expect that they will be useful in implementation if it is not, and will tell you simply upgrade to a more modern version.
