I have a model end of 2013 13 MacBook Pro with 4 GB or RAM retina and think to upgrade to El Capitan. Is this enough RAM

Of course you can upgrade to El Capitan. But I think better if you can change the internal hard drive (SATA drive) in the SSD drive. You will get better results, faster than still, you only have 4 GB. This is mine... MacBook pro in early 2011.

  • End of 2013 SSD Macbook Pro has failed

    The SSD in my end 2013 13 "retina MBP failed, leaving me with a very nice and completely unnecessary aluminium piece.

    The genius bar appointment confirmed the failure by saying that it was obviously a defective component, but that my only option was an Apple Service / repair costs £526 + VAT.

    Someone else has met a failure of this type in the same model of MBP?

    This would be a general problem with the SSD components used in this edition of the MBP that is similar to the issue of MB Air?

    I'm obviously gutted by the failure and lack of options and cost of repair in this case adds insult to injury.

    Apple has lost a long-term MBP owner / client.

  • My batteries end of 2013 of MacBook Pro drain mode retina 'sleep'

    Hello!

    I have a MacBook Pro late 2013 who recently (I think after the El Captain update that came before the last) began to seriously empty battery 'sleep'. (20% / day compared to the usual 1-2% / day.)

    I went through a few logical steps:

    • I turned off all applications before entering the mode 'sleep'
    • check whether if it is completely off, should it still power loss? N °
    • I checked the settings to save energy, nothing prevents that my Macbook to sleep, NAP is off.

    What I noticed: if I did not open my MacBook Pro for days, before he had another screen to start (I had to type my password twice, but now only once).

    This has led to an assumption: because something prevents my MacBook to enter standby after a certain time?

    I can't find anything in the settings that affect it.

    What could go wrong?

    Thank you

  • You have a 2011 Macbook Pro with NO GPU failure?

    Hi all.

    I am considering buying a 15 "MBP end 2011 hi res, screen matte, and with the chipset 6750 m from a friend. It worked without any of the well known symptoms since it's production.

    My question is:

    Is it possible to actually own a Macbook Pro with the chipset hit without a logic board/GPU problems?



    What I think:

    If 10 + million Macbook Pro have been produced with these chipsets in 2011/12, if it's only a tiny fraction who suffers actually total ventilation - all online writing is negative - no one does not write when their machine works.

    What is your opinion on that? Can someone ellaborate?

    Thank you

    M.

    Only Apple has statistics that would give any valid information on the magnitude of this problem.  For what it's worth, the program was extended until the end of the year.

    Yes. Find LR catalog file in Edit/settings/general catalogue. Close LR and go to this place. The catalog file is one that ends by .lrcat - move it where you want. Beside the .lrcat file is a subfolder called Previews.lrdata. You can move, but if you don't not LR will generate new insights. Double-click the .lrcat file in her new home and LR will open with this catalogue. Set preferences in more recent catalogue.

    If you have used any other processor of professional quality (for example, Microsoft Word), and then just go ahead and use the current culture of free (financially) applications on devices you mention. It will not take too long before you understand point Apple of giving them. No application in the world can open documents Pages but the most recent version.

    Free will begin to erode when Pages for Mac forget how to open a perfectly fine document that you saved an hour or two ago. Or you realize you have to press the SHIFT key every time you want a first word in a sentence. Or you can not bind the text boxes to the text layout advanced stream. Or you can't do data merge / e-mail. Table of contents page links or comments will not export to PDF.

    Pages is not a clone of Word, and you'll quickly realize that Pages input/export deal with the translation. Open a blank document. Type the letter "A". Export to Word .docx. It will be 494KO in size. Do the same thing in LibreOffice or MS Word and it will be 8 KB.

    I'm looking for advice on what I can to make this last as long as possible. You guys have any advice for me of past experiences or knowledge? It will be greatly appreciated!

    Don't drink near him.  A spill will ruin the MBP and not be covered by the warranty.
