I need info on: update of my macbook pro

I have a macbook pro 6.1 17-inch mid 2010 at 2.8 Ghz i7. I'm under El Capitan.

I've updated to 8 GB of ram four years ago, but now I have to upgrade to 16 GB of ram. There are a lot of contradictory information on the web. Whoever did this with a similar model? If so, where did you buy the upgrade pack?

  • Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

    Hi all

    I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

    Thank you!

    The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

    If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

    Ciao.

  • Update of the MacBook Pro for iPad Pro?

    I'm looking to replace my MacBook Pro (MBP) for a new iPad Pro. Apart from the obvious differences that exist between operating systems, i.e. OSX El Capitan vs iOS (9)

    Are there specific functions or tasks that cannot be performed on an iPad Pro, which can be done on the MBP?

    When it comes to streaming music (Spotify) and video (Youtube, Netflix, Amazon, BBC iplayer etc), will all these without downloading additional software, Flash drives or iOS apps for the iPad?

    Any constructive comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Most OS X applications with versions of iOS will have reduced functionality located in iOS (for example. (Pages, Numbers, MS Office applications).  iOS is now supported split screen for some applications (not all), but it offers no true multitasking. iOS supports NO FLASH - never has and probably never will be.  Some 3rd party browsers or proxy subscription services offer alternatives to that, but it's not exactly a replacement for FLASH native.  It's the same for Java applications.

    iOS is not addressable accessible file system or cross-app of the user, as OS X.  iOS apps are sandboxed to sand and largely unable to interact with eachother or every-other data.

    Honestly, even though I love my iPad Pro and use every day for staff and job tasks, it is NOT a true replacement for a desktop computer / laptop.  If your use is very specifically limited to certain iOS apps or certain types of applications that are very conducive to a tablet OS, you should be fine with just an iPad, but if not, you will find you want always a laptop or desktop computer, at least for certain tasks or the types of applications.

    Please also note, that iOS devices, like any electronic mass storage, must be saved if you care about your data at all.  Without a computer, your only backup option is to iCloud online backups.  Solutions available iCloud for photography, however, NO do not replace true or complete for archiving your photos elsewhere for guard - should photo be archived elsewhere (computer, another Cloud Computing service) regardless of your choice of iCloud photo service (s).  A computer is a perfect solution for a backup of redundant iOS device using iTunes and iCloud for backups.  A computer is also required to restore an iOS device in the case of a corrupt system, update, install or some other potential recoverable occsionally disaster.

  • Updated graphics on MacBook Pro which has the iris intel pro 1536 and the card nvidia geforce GT 750 M

    Hello world

    I was wondering if it would be possible to update the graphics card from nvidia, which is in my macbook pro 15-inch. Im not too tech savvy so I figure that I would like to ask the community. This laptop has the iris intel pro as well a nvidia geforce gt 750M.

    Thanks to all who replied,

  • What screwdriver do I need open a case of the MacBook Pro (mid 2014 retina, 13.3 ")?

    I try to open the case of my MacBook Pro (mid-2014 retina, 13.3 ") so that I can check for dust and clean, but I'm not sure what screwdriver, I would need. Does anyone know?

    Also, I have a 3 years Apple Care plan; opening the casing to clean the inside avoid this?

  • update of the macbook pro

    does make sense to switch to a new 2015 macbook pro with the retina, if I bought one in 2012?

    Look at the differences between the two models, decide whether you can justify.  Justification can be "better resolution of need", can be "need faster CPU."

    I'm not judging you or tell you what is decision.  Just advise you how I would make the decision.

    The 2012 model should last a while.  My renovated 2011 still works well.  Improve not now because you're afraid he will die "tomorrow."

    Just keep your backups until you decide to move.

  • How can I download the new update on my Macbook pro when the password is not working? When I connect to the Adobe site with the same user name and password it DOES not work. I don't understand why.

    So I have a macbook pro - and she advised me that I had to update my Adobe flash player. So I go through all the steps and I'm stuck at the last stage, where he asks me my user name and password. I go in there correctly - several times and it does NOT connect. He shakes to show that there's an error. Double check my file AND I go to the Adobe site to connect with the same information. and it works very well.

    WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? Help please.

    Could you please try ComputerName administrator as username and the password as password.

    I hope this works.
