• How well El Capitan will run on an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"Late 2008"

  One of my Macs is an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"late 2008 ". I know that it supports El Capitan, but what I wonder is really run him El Capitan? What interests me is the user experience of real life?

  My MacBook Pro is currently under Snow leopard 10.6.8 and it has 8 GB of RAM installed.

  I thought maybe I could take an approach gently gently and install El Capitan on a different hard disk, or maybe partition the internal hard drive and install it on one of the partitions? Any thoughts on this approach?

  My internal hard drive is a model 1 TB of Seagate hybrid.

  Thank you!

  With 8 GB of ram, it will work fine. Install on an external drive or an internal partition is a wise option that you can get rid of it if it does not meet expectations. Be aware that some of your applications can work more like exceeding 10.6.8 Rosetta support has been dropped.

• Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

  Hello

  My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

  I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

  My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

  Advice/suggestions appreciated.

  See you soon

  Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

  See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

  As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

• To upgrade or not to upgrade... MacBook Pro late 2008?

  I have a Late 2008 MacBook Pro. It is a processor clocked at 2.4 GHz with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory

  I am currently using OS X - 10.9.5

  I have 26.41 free GB on 249,2 GB hard disk

  Can I upgrade to El Capitan?

  Should I move to El Capitan?

  Thank you and God bless you!

  Technically, it is possible, but is there a particular reason that you feel the need to upgrade? If your current configuration does not work well, upgrade to a new system probably won't fix this (or worse).

• Drive hard internal update for MacBook Pro Late 2011

• Trackpad MacBook Pro late 2011 does not not after upgrade

  I just update the OS in my MacBook Pro (late 2011) which worked perfectly well 'El Capitan' to 'Sierra '. Everything went, smooth and pleasant. but now, the trackpad is completely erratic, is in itself (such as move and open programs like possessed). I tried several suggestions from apple such as checking for updates, check the settings, delete all the gestures, etc. I'm assuming that the material is very well that was perfectly fine yesterday... any suggestions please help.   -Note; I have to use an external mouse, and the latter is very well.

  Hello Med_,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that after upgrading to Sierra, your MacBook trackpad has become erratic. I know that my trackpad is an important part of my daily use, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm here to help get this resolved with you.

  You did an excellent job so far! Then I recommend the system management controller (SMC) reset. This system can solve some unexpected behaviors. Follow the steps below:

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Unplug the MagSafe from Mac power adapter.
  3. Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in the MacBook and MacBook Pro computers).
  4. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
  5. Reconnect the battery and the MagSafe power adapter.
  6. Press the power button to turn on the Mac.

  The LED on the MagSafe power adapters could change State or temporarily disable when you reset the SMC.

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

  If the problem persists, test this problem in safe mode. This will allow you to exclude the software as the cause. To help get started in safe mode and additional steps, use the steps and the link below:

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

• "MacBook pro late 2013 15" blocks all the "Tine"

  Hello

  My MacBook pro late 2013 running El Capitan crashes without displaying message. Often when coding using Webstorm (very likely to be blocked), but even when you use the Sublime text or only browsers. I usually have a browser running (accidents that happened with firefox all there are chrome and safari) and a database driver.

  This was already the case with the previous operating system, I've updated to El Capitan, and it changed nothing.

  PRAM, SCM returns several times. Ran Diagnostics, any problem found. Brought to the Apple store where they performed different tests: no problems found.

  He comes off abruptly, sometimes the crazy fan, the screen is black. I can shut myself off or it turns off completely by itself.

  In the newspapers, I see no log corresponding to the date and time of the accident.

  Look at this link:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201753

  If there is a kernel panic report, post it.

  Ciao.

• Part number of MacBook Pro late 2013 SSD

  Hello

  I have acquired a used MacBook Pro late 2013 (A1502 - EMC 2678) a few months ago, in which the DSS had been removed.

  I knew that I had to replace the SSD when I bought this MacBook and found on the ifixit site that I had to buy an SSD with a part number in this list: 661-1838, 661-8136, 661-8138 (256 GB SSD).

  "I've finally found one on Amazon Market place, and the SSD was announced as follows:" (661-8136, 661-8138) 256 GB Solid State Drive - Apple MacBook Pro 13 retina "A1502 / 15" A1398 (end of 2013, mid-2014).

  But when I got the SSD, I noticed that the part number is printed on it is '655-1803D", which is the part number for MacBook Air Mid 2013 - 2015 SSD.

  I contacted the seller to an Exchange, thinking that they had sent the wrong item, but he told me that the product was properly advertised on Amazon and showed me his description which indicates that following:

  Identification numbers:

  -Apple part No.: 661-8136, 661-8138

  -The printed part #: 655-1803, 655-1817, 655-1838

  -Manufacturer B21: MZ-JPU256T / 0 *, SD6PQ4M - 256G, THNSN2256GSPS

  So my questions are:

  "Print" (those that appear on the SSD) part numbers are supposed to be the same as the Apple part number, or they are independent of each other?

  Are SSD with part number cell phones compatible with MacBook pro computers A1502 655-1803 ' printed'?

  Thank you.

  If it is, in fact, a number of part of Apple on the outside label of the SSD it should be certified by the manufacturer to run in an Apple/Mac products. SSD information displays the drive model number in disk label utility. These Apple Certified SSD will run through multiple products of Macbook. I hope this helps.

  Bravo!

• What external DVD burner for MacBook Pro late 2011

  My internal superdrive drive just died, a kind of inner part rattling... sounded like a trombone bouncing around. Has to be replaced. Wanted to buy an external drive of Supe but it won't work with my MacBook Pro late 2011. I need to burn DVDs for my students and have no desire to kill an other intern.

• Double disc SSD/HDD on MacBook Pro late 2011

  So I finally finished putting my double drive on my MacBook Pro late 2011. I ended up putting the SSD where the optical drive has been, since research told me that the end 2011 MBP is the lucky model with an optical drive that supports Sata III. If anyone can give me a reason to spend my SSD and HDD, please let me know.

  Anyway, now I ask to help with setting up my macbook pro to use two disks. I copied everything on the SSD and the SSD drive is set to start my computer to the top. I can already tell that this thing is so much faster now. However, I basically just have two exact copies of my all my stuff on the two disks. How can I configure my computer to know which drive to use? I want a few things to use my HARD drive and other things to use my SDD, not all at once. Where are these settings and how to do?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi Jdsr4c:

  I have a Macbook Pro 2011 start.

  I installed a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO instead of HD.

  I moved the HD to the optical Bay.

  Optical Bay has 3 Gigabit speed. HD space has a 6 Gigabit speed.

  See the screenshots of my mac.

  

  

  The old HD, I would reformat is not bootable.

  I use my old HD for storage of movies, etc.

  So for example, I'll download a movie and then move it to my old hard drive. I'll put it in a directory named for example movies.

  On the SSD, I'll do an 'Alias' pointing to the movies on the old HD directory (on windows, it would be a shortcut).

  In any case, hope this helps.

• Dell P2715Q + U2715H w / 15 "MacBook Pro late 2013

  I recently bought a Dell P2715Q via the Dell Web site to run with my MacBook Pro late 2013 w/NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M, Yosemite 10.10.2,"limited which I am very happy with 15".

  I'm running the P2715Q via the Port Thunderbolt at full resolution 60 Hz.

  I'm considering buying a U2715H to run as a second screen. Is it possible to run a U2715H display via HDMI port at full resolution 60 Hz?

  I tried to launch a Thunderbolt Apple display through the second port Thunderbolt and couldn't get two monitors to work when the P2715Q ran in secondary mode STD to 30 Hz. ideally I want to save the second port Thunderbolt for my drive external HARD in any way.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  I don't know if this helps, but what are the maximum rates. The MBP supports the latter, no idea.
