How to get the new logic board with 16 GB of RAM for my Macbook Pro retina 15 mid 2012?

1 month ago I brought my Macbook to the Apple Store Genius Bar to check the GPU because I was worried about small lines on a screen while playing games.

After 3 days of test engineering guys gave her back to me and told me that there is nothing they can do in this regard, because was unable to reproduce the problem, but gave me an option - completely replace the logic board for 700CAD. At first, I said NO, but also asked them, if they can replace the logic board, but with 16 GB instead of 8 GB, I immediately. I'll have to pay the money anyway, right? Why not?

Long story short - they told me that they cannot do and can replace the logic board with the same RAM mount my Macbook at the present time. Specialists support Apple tells me the same thing via Chat application on the Apple Web site. Funniest - none of them could give a reasonable answer why they cannot do so.

It's the same logic board, with the same size, but with more RAM.

I understand that they need to sell more laptops and, if I need more RAM, I can go and buy the new Macbook, but to be honest, as an International Student I simply don't have so much money.

So why can't they do it?

You deal with politics Apple and no one on these forums can do something for you, since we are like you, only users of Apple products.

Consider selling your MBP and put money to one with 16 GB of RAM.

    Dell provided you with restore/recovery media and/or a way to restore the machine 'default' as a key sequence?  If so - you won't need the number--unless they just sent a DVD of Windows 7 nu - and they are usually not unless you ask.

    They have probably installed using their key, which means that even with a utility like Belarc Advisor or ProduKey - you will not get the product key that matches the one on the sticker.

    Some may have you take several different digital pictures of the sticker from different angles and see if you can decipher the missing characters like that (you'd be surprised to see how that works).

  • Windows XP mode - 7: how to get the Realtek Audio Drivers with GS Wavetable outside normal? Instead of RDP Audio driver!

    1. I upgraded my comp to Windows 7, Ultimate because I need to use many XP programs. What I've discovered, is the virtual XP Mode is not the same thing as XP regular and many programs do not run properly. Particularly theAudio out to lunch and MS GS Wavetable is not available in XP Mode.

    2 - I end up having to buy another XP-Professional and installed in the same notebook. I have to turn off the laptop restart and select the Windows 7 to XP operating system. All old programs work fine under XP.

    3 - I continued looking for a fix for the XP Audio Mode or virtual. Almost 2 years now, I can not find such a simple solution.

    4. today, I found something on the Microsoft RDP Audio driver. What is the reason? Anyone know?

    5. are there available MS drivers or resources?

    I'm not interested in the commercial programs or attempts to scan my computer. MS sold Windows 7 that can run XP so I think that Microsoft is responsible for fixing.

    Thanks in advance,

    VT

    is there anyone with a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 that the use of el capitan?

    I want to improve my macbook to mavericks in el capitan, but my friend told me not to do. Because she just update its macbook (same model with mine) and it becomes slower than before (yosemite).

    Is there anyone with the same problem? Or maybe another problem after upgrade to el capitan?

    It works perfectly with EC is that you have enough memory. I say that at least 8 GB is necessary. 4 GB is very marginal.

  • How to get the orientation angle screen with 40 Hz stably without delay to sync?

    Goal: Get orientation angle screen at 40 Hz stably without delay for synchronization.

    Problem with two situations:

    1. When you use the bbutil_swap and navigator_event_get_orientation_angle (event) to get the orientation angle screen with other data such as acceleration sensors and gyroscope data, the sampling frequency will be low grade at 10 Hz randomly. The difference of synchronization will increase from 25 ms to 100 ms.

    2. when the screen orientation angle is collected in the following code to get the angle only, the difference in timing of sampling will be 1, 2 or 5 seconds at random.

    Question: How do I get the orientation angle screen with 40 Hz stably without delay to sync?

    or something wrong in my code?

    Mini code:

    public static void handleNavigatorEvent(bps_event_t *event) {}
    switch (bps_event_get_code (event)) {}
    case NAVIGATOR_ORIENTATION_CHECK:
    navigator_orientation_check_response (event, true); If not the line, no updates on the screen rotation.
    angle = navigator_event_get_orientation_angle (event);
    break;
    case NAVIGATOR_EXIT:
    stop = true;
    break;
    }
    }

    public static void handle_events() {}
    for(; ) {
    bps_event_t * event = NULL;
    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = bps_get_event (& event, 0)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "bps_get_event failed\n");
    break;
    }
    If {(event)
    If (bps_event_get_domain (event) is {navigator_get_domain()})
    handleNavigatorEvent (event);
    }
    } else {}
    break;
    }
    pthread_create (& t1, NULL, (void *) & rawacceleration, NULL);
    }
    }

    int main (int argc, char * argv []) {}
    screen_create_context (& screen_cxt, 0);
    bps_initialize();

    {If (EXIT_SUCCESS! = {bbutil_init_egl (screen_cxt))}
    fprintf (stderr, "bbutil_init_egl failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = screen_request_events (screen_cxt)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "screen_request_events failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    If (BPS_SUCCESS! = navigator_request_events (0)) {}
    fprintf (stderr, "navigator_request_events failed\n");
    bbutil_terminate();
    screen_destroy_context (screen_cxt);
    return 0;
    }

    Rawlog = fopen (rawfilename, "w"); Save the file in a specific path.
    fprintf (rawlog, "Absorption system, Angle\n");

    navigator_request_events (0);

    While (! shutdown) {}
    handle_events();
    bbutil_swap();
    }

    closeshutdown();

    return 0;
    }

    Thank you for your attention,

    Using SENSOR_TYPE_ORIENTATION of sensor_type_t , you should be able to get > 10 Hz.  Use sensor_set_rate() to get the slower delay to call sensor_info().  Make sure not to enable sensor_set_skip_duplicates().

    However get the orientation at the 40 Hz streaming will not make your application any repsonsive more.  The only way to make your app more would be to manage the orientation change in a short period of time.  This is the time when orientation changes (at the hardware level), to receive you and to deal with it.  It is usually a constraint system and there is not that you can do about it.  What you see using the code above is the same information repeated over and over; FACE_UP, FACE_UP, FACE_UP, which is not really useful.

  • How can I upgrade (where to buy) the SSD storage for my macbook pro retina 15 "?

    I currently have 256GB on my mac, which is far from enough. as far as I know, the macbook pro get a SSD sata-m and I would buy more. I can buy it on the Apple site?

    Apple does not sell any upgrade to the MacBook Pro retina. If you want to upgrade the internal memory, the connector is not standard m-SATA so your options are limited. One of the few places improvements are available is MacSales.com, who is a seller very good reputation (I bought many improvements to them):

    OWC SSD Flash storage upgrades - MacBook Pro with the retina 13 "& 15" 2012 - beginning 2013

    On this page, you'll see also that they sell a pen, so that you can use the drive out you of your Mac as an external drive.

  • How to get the new sticker Code for Windows?

    I now have my Satellite L750 on 4years, I recently had an accident witch lead to me having to have the merits of the case replaced but isn't most have windows code sticker and I wanted to know how can I do to get a new, what I need to send a mail or but a new.

    Maybe it sounds silly now but this sticker is useless. It just proves that you have obtained the valid product key with your recovery image. I have the recovery image, because this product key is the version of the OS that you got with your laptop.
    You have the original installation disc of recovery? If yes you don't need the key because the recovery image can be installed to 1000 times and each time preinstalled version will be activated properly.

    With other words, no one will send you the key that you got on the sticker. The product key is implemented in original recovery image and cannot be used in case you want to enable another version of the Microsoft OS.

  • How to get the new iOS Go makes a loop in your Mac

    I was wondering why the new Go for iOS great new loops were not available after you import for mac via iCloud. You would think that these sounds would be also available on the Mac side, but they were not. So, when you import your song, you get a message like this...

    Then, when you press on continue you get this message...

    Then you download directly? But after waiting for the download, you realize that these sounds get on your Mac. At least for me they do not have. So if you want the solution bypass and a few new large loops, here's what you do...

    Download iOS GarageBand to iTunes. Once downloaded, search for garageband.ipa the .ipa's version of iOS... Locate and then right-click on it. Outdoors with a menu, you should see a green "archive utility". Click here. It will pull a garageband file. In the folder are all missing originals. Files of the CAF for your songs. You must then place them in the logical folder on your mac. Do another search for. COLLEGE. You will be directed to the area where you will include you news. Files of the CAF. There should be a few records in this area called House, Hip Hop, etc. Rather than attempt to index the myself, I just created a new folder called iOS and put all the files of the CAF that I extracted from the iOS version. Then I placed in the same directory where the others are located in logic on my Mac. I started to GB and low and behold, it worked! I got all the sounds that was missing. The only message I got that FX extension was missing. I found the FX extension also in iOS extracted folder. The problem is that I don't know where to put it again. I will figure out however.

    Good luck to all who wish to participate in it. Read my instructions...

    I really do not understand why Apple would come on such great point, give us the possibility of import to Mac, but not give us new sound files on State end sort of weird. Apple is really cool, but someone left dropped the ball on this one...

    Oh! I forgot to mention, once you check out this iOS GB file, you must go to > Payload > MobileGarageband > right click > view the contents of the package. There's all the goodies! Enjoy!

    It works like a charm. Thanks for this posting.

    I have download all purchases of the app store on my mac anyway, so GarageBand 2.1 was already in my iTunes with the mobile applications folder:

    ~/Music//iTunes/iTunes music/Mobile Applications / GarageBand 2.1.

    I had to search for GarageBand 2.1.ipa, not GarageBand.ipa.

    Inside the GarageBand application bundle is the path to the loop:

    GarageBand 2.1/Payload/MobileGarageBand.app/Library.bundle/Audio/Apple loops /, for example

    GarageBand loops/Abstract atmosphere 015 2.1/Payload/MobileGarageBand.app/Library.bundle/Audio/Apple. College

    While you are about it, you can also try to extract some sampler instruments, the Instrument library is here.

    I looked here sooner, because GarageBand 10.1 has not found instruments of the new Memo.app of music:

    The files of the sampler and sampler instruments are here:

    / GarageBand support at the libraries/Sampler 2.1/Payload/MobileGarageBand.app/Library.bundle/Application/Instrument.

    I found the lack of /GarageBand 2.1/Payload/MobileGarageBand.app/Library.bundle/Application support, library, Sampler, sampler Instrument Instruments / P - Bass iOS small.exs

Maybe you are looking for
