  El Capital is compatible with the MacBook Pro version 10.10.5? Can anyone help answer this question before I update? Thanks in advance.

  Why did you start a new post? Post again only after only 8 minutes accomplished nothing.

  There is no general problem going to EL Capitan on your Mac.

  Some applications may require updating.

  Some devices like printer may require the updated drivers. For some readers of devices not being updated are available.

  This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the El Capitanforum or another appropriate forum.

• Samsung 850 EVO Solid State Drive works only with the MacBook Pro - Solution?

  I recently bought a Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB Solid State Drive for mid 2012 MacBook Pro father. The computer was working properly, but it was just very slow. I took the old drive and installed the SSD. I took it to an Apple store so that they could install the OS. A guy at the Genius Bar met with me and first tried to install the OS via the Ethernet cable. It is impossible to install some general error. He then tried to install it on a disc. Which also failed. He said he was not familiar with the type of error that he saw. But he said it was a mistake 'bad '. He said he saw the SSD for my SATA cable worked. He concluded that the reader must be defective. I explained how it is virtually impossible because they have a rate of close to zero. He said: "well they are produced en masse" and explained how they could install a hard drive themselves for some too expensive price. A bit annoying.

  In any case, I took the SSD back to my house and threw it in my desktop PC. It works very well. Then what should I do? Why am I not able to get the SSD to install it? From what I read, the Samsung 850 EVO should be compatible with a MacBook Pro 2012. Can I do to install it at home? Is that all I can say people at the Mac store to help them along?

  Most likely, the drive is formatted for use with Windows computers. First step would be to format correctly for Macs.

  This is Mac OS extended (journaled) with a GUID partition map.

  OS X will only be installed on a properly formatted disk.

• Problem with the Macbook pro 15 "light

  Hello

  I have a macbook pro 15 "of 2011 and yesterday he gave me a failure when you use iMovie and now I'm not able to restart it more.

  When I was with iMovie, the screen became stripped horizontal screen and the computer crashed while I didn't have another option that turn it off by holding down the Start button.

  But since then, when I turn on the computer, it happens to me the following:

  -L' computer starts and the typical sound of departure

  -Then the page from loading with the Apple, but he is seen gray with horizontal lines of fine pink & gray:

  -Once loading appears to be over, the screen turns into a light gray screen and it remains forever. The only option I have is to keep pressed the button start to stop the computer off again.

  I tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC and I walked to the single user Mode to execute the following commands: fsck - fy and mount uw but nothing has worked.

  Also, when I enter in single user mode by pressing cmd + S during startup, the screen is red light with very thin vertical black lines.

  Does anyone has idea what goes wrong with my computer? Can someone help me?

  Thank you much in advance.

  Best regards.

• Network with the MacBook Pro 15 "problems

  My new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015 retina) has 16 GB memory MHz DDR3.

  2.8 GHz Intel Core I & and an AMD Radeon R9 M370x PCie, in addition to an integrated

  Chipset Intel Iros Pro model. I am running OS X El Carolina Version 10.11.6, with 12 Parallels and Windows 7 for a few

  the company's programs, but I mainly work on the Mac side.

  An intermittent connection problem became constant after a week of using the computer.  My router DLink DSL (model 2750B) is two feet away from the computer.  In the system preferences / iCloud, I get "There was an error connecting to server Apple ID" my MacPro, iPad Samsung Galaxy S7 and Air 2 all connect with the same router wireless without any problem. (All my OTHER computers connected also with the same Apple ID and password without problem.  IMac 2012, MacPro, 2012 MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and the new iPad 2 Air)) I have a screenshot of the error message "None of your preferred networks are available" and in the same time to a list of all available networks, including my own.  Several times, I click on my network and get the response "the xxxxxxnetwork could not be contacted."

  I solved problem with Verizon, my provider, yesterday, and the routine test found that I have an intense tone, but the computer could not complete the test routine.  I ran "Diagnoses" several times this evening - this is after 23:00, and the report suggests that I will review wi - if recommended (fact), that I have a crowded WiFi channel (almost anyone else is in the building at this late hour) and I have to reboot the router (I did several times) and that maybe I should join a Wi - Fi network network that is associated with the Internet (like mine that works for all other devices.)

  Any suggestions on how to solve problems, or I would return the computer.  It's beautiful, and I spent a lot of time updating, installation, customization, before this stop of a Wi - Fi.  I had to buy a new router, but tests with Verizon made me doubt that a new router would solve this problem.

  Thanks for all the wisdom and strategies.  Maggie2012

• External monitor works only with the Macbook Pro?

  I just bought a Macbook Pro 15-inch (mid-2015, OS X El Capitan 10.11.4) and planned to connect it to my BenQ GL2450HM (he had since worms 2011 for my Windows PC). I had a DVI adapter for them, but the card connects to the cable correctly (as it goes down easy) and then when I plugged it, the monitor gave me a green light for a bit, but finally displays 'no signal' and the screen went black, and yellow light. But when I pulled the cable out of my monitor, he said "no cable not connected" (implying that he entered the connection somehow before that?)

  So, I read while holding down the option key to detect monitors, but that did not work. Put the laptop to sleep and then wake it up didn't work either. I also tried to plug the adapter to DVI/VGA Converter that I have, but they fit together. I tried to plug the adapter directly to the DVI port on my monitor, but they are not at all together.

  I feel, it should be possible to make the Macbook and monitor work together, but I'm stuck to know exactly what needs to be fixed. Probably the adapter or DVI cable, however. Do you have any suggestions?

  I don't see that this is not possible, so I am that give a bump.

• How to use lightroom with desktop PC and mobile computers with the MacBook Pro? hav

  At home, I have a desktop PC with all my files from lr stored on drive NAS I want to be able to access and modify the macbook when away from home.

  1 is it possible or I need a Mac computer or replace cell phone based on windows?

  2 I use remote access to NAS or use previews and catalog sync?

• What photoshop program works with the Macbook Pro?

  I got 11 Photoshop elements but my Macbook Pro doesn't have the necessary DVD-ROM drive.  What product would you recommend that I go to for similar photo editing options?

  You don't have a DVD player inside the computer in order to install the software.

  Download the trial version on the Adobe site and who activate with your serial number. I usually use this option on my MacBook Air.

  http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/TDRC/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us

  or buy an external DVD drive to low prices, connect it to your Mac via a USB port and install the software from the DVD using them. I sometimes use this option when traveling when I don't want to wear out my allocation of mobile data by downloading GB of software.

• The remote Siri works with the MacBook Pro 13 Mid2012?

  Hello

  I'm Slim. I use a macbook pro13 (Mid2012) non-retine version. I was very happy to know apple for mac accessories include a remote control IR for my Mac. But at no time I got confused that one to buy? After a search on this topic on Apple store. The apple Web site gives enough information about the greater Apple Remote compatible with MacBook before END 2012, excluding versions of the retina but there was no word on Siri remote compatible with the same. Now that Siri debuted on Macs, Siri remote will work on this subject?

  I think that the distance of Siri will work as a remote IR for your Mac. However, the functions of Siri are currently limit to 4 ATV.

• Problems with the MacBook Pro after the new update, restore or wait?

  I recently upgraded my Macbook with the new update of security El Capitan and I saw that the update is more buggy that is useful. My battery is dying much faster with the same amount of use and my internet constantly disconnects and reconnects if I'm on internet applications. I also found that if I drop something in my computer, the wifi will stop then as well. Should I try to reinstall El Capitan or do I have to wait until the bugs are fixed? (If they will be by apple)?

• Possible problem with the Macbook pro retina display 13 "

  Hello, good afternoon:

  I just bought a new Macbook pro 13 '' two days ago Retina and everything seems ok until I see a rare noise which is like a whistle of low volume. This happens regularly, but sometimes every 10-15 seconds. I detect it only when the laptop is in a vertical position for example when I'm laying in bed watching a movie. Can someone tell me what that could this noise be? In its normal position, my macbook does no rare noise...

  Thanks in advance,

  EXB

  Not to hear a noise of a rMBP from the end of 2012 13 "and have never heard strange noises.

  Because yours is new and under warranty, you can consider taking it to a local Apple store and have them diagnose what might be the issue.

• Problems with the MacBook Pro 15 GPU retina

  Hi, I had a lot of trouble with my computer lately. When I run intense jobs GPU, the computer just stops. I managed to work around this problem by changing the settings of my software. The problem got worse and now the computer doesn't turn on. He goes on an infinite loop. I know is a hardware problem because when applying some pressure to the bottom of the computer it lights. Is there a way I can disable by order Nvidia card so at least I can turn on my computer and work?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  That looks like a hardware problem. You must run the hardware Apple (AHT) Test to see if it can find errors with the material.

  You can find instructions here: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  You will most likely need an Apple Genius appointment at your local Apple store to have this problem.

  Good luck!

• Memory - Macbook Pro 2011

  Help, please! I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch end 2011. I want to upgrade the memory of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) to 16GB (2 x 8 GB).

  Can I buy 16GB and they say it's for the MacBook Pro 2011, but it says on the site of Apple 8GB maximum memory.

  Everyone is running 16GB and it works fine?

  I upgraded to El Capitan, and my mac seems slower.

  Back in 2011 8 GB SODIMM costs $1000 + if they still existed.  Apple tested the SODIMM 4 GB at reasonable price and never reviewed the hardware older after 8 GB SODIMM fell to $50.

  I run 16 GB Crucial in my MBP 2011 very well.  Crucial or OWC (macsales.com) sell RAM reliable and provide guarantees for life.

  is it because of power problems?

  Take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out. It should be under warranty. Bring the MBP along too. It sounds like there might be a problem with it.
