• 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.

• Updated the MacBook pro 13 mid-2014 SSD?

  I have a macbook pro 13 mid-2014. Apple would upgrade my 128 GB to 512 GB SSD? If Yes, for how long?

  There are aftermarket solutions such as http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-up...

  I don't think that Apple upgrades an SSD, once the computer has been purchased and is beyond the date of return of 2 weeks.

  Note: I do not know how to do it yourself can affect your warranty. I see some posts where people say that to replace your original drive if you need to take Apple computer for other services.  For some things that apple might consider a guarantee like no or even flat our refuses to do something with a computer, even if beyond warranty if they have an indication any anyone, but Apple did something inside a computer, but nor will they upgrade a SSD - it is intended (unrealistic) buy you a SSD which will be to always meet your needs.

• 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.

• Short battery life of the Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2009

  My Macbook Pro battery does not seem able to last longer then an hour on a full charge. Initially, I set this up to the age and checked the battery status (ALT + click on the battery in the top bar icon), however it says normal. I have always looked after my Mac - full load battery and let it run down completely before recharging - so I don't know if it's just an age thing or another issue.

  In addition, I had a problem for a long period of overheating, even when I use Safari. Using an application that I can see that it reaches 90 degrees celsius, it is worse. If I have a problem with my fan which is itself an overheating of my Mac and drain the battery?

  I tried to use Apple Hardware Test (now D then it starts) but have had no chance to lift anything but the normal login screen.

• Repair Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010

  So it seems that my Macbook Pro Logic Board may be faulty.
  To add to that, my fans and my battery had to be replaced as well.
  I also have the question 'well known' with the graphics card, which makes the system crash when you perform certain actions.

  All repairs will certainly cost a new macbook, and of course there is no need to spend $ 500 only to logic board when I have other ongoing problems.
  I have read many articles and discussions where they say that Apple offers $ 310 lump sum that covers repairs to equipment, called "repair".

  However, I contacted apple support and they told me that this package applies only on iPhones and no Macbooks, even if all the articles and discussions I've read are referred to laptops.

  Do you know if this is true? And if this, how do I request it?

  My Macbook is under warranty and was bought in Italy. But I am now in New York (I have read that this special repair happening just in the USA and Japan).

  Thank you!

  If you ask Apple to fix it and Apple has given you an answer... that must be the right answer.

  We are simply other Mac users like you and depend on Apple to get answers on how it would be for Apple to make a repair.

• SSD for Macbook Pro 15 "(mid-2010)

  Hello everyone.
  I am trying to understand what would be the best solution between these two SSD (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d = 1YSYNG937RV48 & Coliidae = I1ZIEP8WMZVX9L & PSC = 1 or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S9Q9VS4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d = 1YSYNG937RV48 & Coliidae = /c1 > I2VNT5L9GELUEI & PS.)  to install in my Macbook pro.
  I need to spend as little as possible for the best performance I can get...
  These two looks great but as you can see that they have different prices and I don't understand what would be more practical to buy and why.
  I hope you can help me decide which is the best alternative between these two and especially where is the difference!
  Thank you!

  I recommend to other World Computing. They seem to be reliable and they take in charge of Apple computers.

I already tried a SMC and PRAM reset without success and there is no update available software. I bought the new Apple computer in September, so I should be still under warranty. Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

• Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch i7 (mid-2012) worm.

  Dear Apple community

  Greetings,

  I would like to know your opinion about the upgrade to the Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) i7 2.9 worm. by the following:

  1. replace the stock HARD 750 GB to a Samsung EVO 850 SSD 1 TB drive in the link below

  cm_cr_pr_product_top http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-am/DP/B00OAJ412U/Ref=? ie = UTF8

  2. replace the stock RAM memory which is 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) in the link below

  http://www.Amazon.com/crucial-DDR3L-1600-PC3-12800-CT2K8G3S160BM-CT2C8G3S160BM/d p/B008LTBJFW/ref = sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1450...

  I know that apple says that 8GB is the maximum RAM.

  is it OK to do? ? (System and stability not wise not hardware wise)

  will I have problems with the system after the upgrade? ?

  I had done a lot of research about this, but am not sure yet.

  your help is highly appreciated

  Thanks in advance

  Best regards

  I would avoid the Samsung SSD.  If you analyze these forums, many users have experienced difficulties with the Samsung SSD.  (Some are not)  Note that Samsung is unable to talk about Mac compatibility on their web site.  I think what to say.

  I can recommend Crucial SSD based on my experience in the installation of three of them in my Mbps.   OWC SSDS have an excellent reputation.

  I support the Crucial RAM.  I have 16 GB of Crucial RAM installed in two of my Mbps.  16 GB of RAM should present no problems for your MBP.  OWC is also a great salesman of RAM Mac compatible.

  Ciao.
