Can I upgrade my current MacBook Pro or buy a new one?
Model | MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010 |
Processor | 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo |
RAM | 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 |
Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB |
Storage | HARD DRIVE 250 GB |
OS X | 10.10.5 Yosemite |
Hi, I have looked at upgrading my current laptop with some much needed performance boosters, but do not know if in the long run it is worth, or if I should save up for a newer model.
The updates that I think first to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD 250 GB and secondly to replace my 4 GB of ram and 16 GB. (Officially, State Apple this machine does support 8GB, but it's been verified since it can take up to 16 GB).
While I know that these two updates should improve the speed and performance of my pretty spectacular machine, roughy wonder how many years my phone will be usable for after the upgrade. The limiting factor main seems to be my processor, which I am aware might be an obstacle in the future. I understand that apple tend to make updates each new OS X only available for latest machines, and I fear that soon, they will be unavailable for Core 2 Duo models. Can anyone confirm this?
So, I guess my question is, how to limit will be my processor to the duration of life/performance of my mac if I perform the above upgrades?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
It depends on.
If you use a lot, I recommend to get a new MacBook. If you use too many, your MacBook Pro will be fine.

I want to buy the Photoshop now, but I'm pretending to change my computer very soon. If I buy the software now and install in my computer run, when I buy a new one, I can't install the new with the same license free of charge?
Did you want to say «which intends "instead of"pretend"?» Assuming you did, the short answer is Yes.
If you purchase a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, you want to deactivate the software on your old system before installing it on your new system.
If your goal is to reach the creative cloud, all you have to do is disconnect on the old system and the newspaper in the new system during the new installation of creative cloud with your Adobe ID
I don't know where you intend to purchase your license, but I suggest on sources other than Adobe themselves. There are a lot of fakers / scammers out there.

How can I remove software Pirate in order to buy a new one and install?
I recently discovered that the software of CS3 on my computer is probably the Pirate software. I bought my computer and I have the original disks for this software. The programs do not work and I want to completely get rid of them, but there is no UNINSTALL option. I trashed them, but is it enough? I downloaded a free trial of CS4 and now who will not open either. I guess because I have traces of the left illegit of CS3.
Can someone advise? Thank you!
Search, download and run the CS3Clean script.
There is also a CS4Clean script.
From CS3, can not all just trash the application folder; You must use the Adobe uninstaller.

Can I put a 2009 MacBook Pro? TO
Can I pass a 2009 MacBook Pro safely to El captain?
You can upgrade to El Capitan, but make sure first that you have a backup so that you can restore your system, if you find El Capitan too troublesome.
Most of the problems with the El Capitan upgrades have to do with incompatible software. Get rid of any Mac cleaners, boosters, antivirus software and so on. Check all your applications and delete that you rarely use.
You can find el Capitan is slow compared to your current configuration. You could improve performance El Cap by upgrade your hard drive to a disc solid state drive (SSD). You can now find a very reasonable price.

As it is a pressed original, CD/DVD printing, and not a house in CD - R or DVD-R commercial, there should be essentially no possibility of its containing malware.
