  • Is it possible to upgrade the trackpad in my mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro to the touchpad by force?

    I would add the 3D button or touchpad of my mid-2012 13-inch Macbook Pro. I know that you can upgrade from things such as the hard drive and ram. But I can do the same thing with the trackpad?

    No, but the new version of the external trackpad is designed for ElCapitan, it can be used.  New version of the external wireless keyboard works also with ElCapitan.

    Just, don't wait these external devices to work at lowest ElCapitan.

    Start by:

    If you are unable to start;

    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):

    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.

  • El Capitan 10.11.6 freezes on MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012)

    After the update of 10.11.5 10.11.6 I noticed that my macbook started to freeze just without reason. It freezes on the basic actions like the click on the right button of the mouse, keyboard typing, switching between apps, etc. "Activity Monitor" shows very low use of the CPU, RAM and HARD drive. I tried to install El Capitan from scratch with a full erase of volume but freezes appear always. Previously on 10.11.5 everything worked pretty quickly.

    Here is my system hardware:

    Processor: 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    SSD: SanDisk SDSSDHII480G

    Hello no,

    It seems like your Mac knows after update to El Capitan version 10.11.6, frequent crashes. Even after a reinstall full Mac OS x. If this is the case, you can try to start the Mac in safe mode.

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    If the freeze occurs in safe mode, please try resetting the SMC.

    The MSC is responsible for these and other functions of low-level on Mac Intel processor:

    • Respond to the pressures on the power button
    • Meet the display of opening and closing on portable Macs
    • Battery management
    • Thermal management
    • The SMS (motion sensor sudden)
    • Detection of ambient light
    • The keyboard backlight
    • The status indicator light (SIL) management
    • Battery status lights
    • Selection of an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    These procedures should be your Mac works well in no time at all. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.

    Have a great day.

  • Someone at - it problems of heat upgrade to a 7200 RPM HARD drive in a MacBook Pro 13,3 "2.5 GHz Core i5 (A1278) - mid-2012, MD101LL/A?

    HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

    Ciao,.

    Addendum: There will be no observable heat problems.  I did it several times myself on all of my 4 Mbps.

  • MACBOOK PRO 2015 WIFI UNPLUG SLEEP YOSEMITE EL CAPITAN HELP :/

    Hello, I recently bought a new macbook pro 2015 13.3 inch edition last month and when I close the lid of the screen or put my laptop to sleep and wake up the display of my network settings says that my wifi is connected but webpages in safari and other features of the internet do not work and I need to activate the wifi and turn it back on and it works again. I tried absolutely everything already to try to solve the problem as reseting; Landau, MSC, deleting of plist files, remove and reset pefferred adding new location and reset service order, pure networks install of El Capitan 10.11 and upgrade 10.11.2 and even get my card replaced airport and macbook pro replaced shorty after. Until I replaced it, it ran from El Capitan. And now the replaced macbook pro is running Yosemite 10.10.5 and the problem is still there.

    I found has temporarily solution which was to download nosleep Yosemite version extension program that disables the function sleep at all times, but eventually it will damage my screen. I would like to know if anyone finds a solution for this problem? My wifi works fine on all my other devices such as my: 2 pc, chrome book, iPad and iPhone. It gives just problems on my macbook pro only. Everyone knows about this problem? And did you find a good solution that I have not mentioned? also I have Time Warner Cable and I have a 2 in 1 router modem by model Arris DG1670A which has 2.4 and 5 G-banding and the problem occurs on both frequencies. I have also the 300/20 DL / plan UL which allows to connect more devices to the internet if that helps. I tried my macbook pro on a neighbors WiFi and on connecting wifi apple store it does not disconnect and worked correctly, but I did not try it long determine if it worked well.

    IM thinking of buying an other internet router modem but I don't want to spend the money if its will not solve the problem and that this problem cannot be resolved it would be wise to return my macbook pro?

  • Why is el capitan slowing/freezing applications I try to use on my macbook pro 13 "2010 mid? 16 minutes to open safari and 2 tabs, another 1/2 hour to load. missed reading iTunes, imovie took 12 hours to import a clip, then en

    El capitan sank my already very usable macbook pro 13 "! EACH application is slowed until almost uselessness, takes almost five minutes to wake up to the top/connect to wifi after sleep, a lot of problems with playback of streaming audio and audio itunes, making my virtually inaccessible whole itunes library. Stuck in the date and time, just a general nightmare.

    A took 15 minutes to open safari and two tabs, more than an hour to open chrome, imovie has spent more than 12 hours to load a video from my phone, and then frozen.

    I do not usually post in forums or discussion because I don't usually have something to contribute, but I wish that I had listened to the warnings of this despicable OS. I feel forced into it. I feel so angry that I can't access simple features of my audio and video programs that I have used so much before this debacle.

    So far, it's worse than Windows Vista. Way worse.

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be grateful, but I just try to find an older OSX will not treat my computer as if it was a cell grocery store to throw.

    I have two macbook pro and two iphones, used for video and audio digital professional. I might as well have a Dell.
