MacBook pro 13' (mid-2014): can I use a cooling base...

Can I use a base of cooling taking air from beneath and bring it to sides?

I don't know where my macbook take fresh air of, the sides or the front?

However, I have seen that there are 2 types of basic cooling, who take on sides and fresh air under the laptop and another who take warm air from below and put it on the sides... I was thinking of buying the second type, but as I was saying, idk where to take fresh the MacBook air, and the apple support didn't asnwer me.

Mac you will be usually get low air in the areas of the blue rectangles below.

and expel the warm air between the keyboard and screen.

When your mac is warming up and his fans turn on, push air both above and below the screen.

It does not hurt to use a cooling base, but is probably not necessary if, in your computer normal use, the bottom of your Macbook does not get too hot.

Golden rule is not put the computer in a position to block the ventilation openings. Do not use for example in on a pillow in bed because it can block the vents heat upward.

  • Updated the MacBook pro 13 mid-2014 SSD?

    I have a macbook pro 13 mid-2014. Apple would upgrade my 128 GB to 512 GB SSD? If Yes, for how long?

    There are aftermarket solutions such as http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-up...

    I don't think that Apple upgrades an SSD, once the computer has been purchased and is beyond the date of return of 2 weeks.

    Note: I do not know how to do it yourself can affect your warranty. I see some posts where people say that to replace your original drive if you need to take Apple computer for other services.  For some things that apple might consider a guarantee like no or even flat our refuses to do something with a computer, even if beyond warranty if they have an indication any anyone, but Apple did something inside a computer, but nor will they upgrade a SSD - it is intended (unrealistic) buy you a SSD which will be to always meet your needs.

  • MacBook Pro 15 mid 2014 video retina

    Hello I have a macbook pro 15 mid 2014 model I was way to work on a project all of a sudden my screen started to get grey clear to the point that I couldn't see anything, I end up turning off the system. I turned on it soon as apple logo lights up it is middle of the line of the screen, then screen has lines everywhere and it crashes at the charge of the osx. I also connected to the external monitor screen very blurry problem.

    Is there a recall on this model?

    I'm not aware of the recall ant on a MBP of 2014.  From the symptoms you describe, there is a problem with the MBP GPU.  Try a reset of the NVRAM:

    Hey, the following steps should resolve your problem. Follow these steps on your MacBook Pro.

    (1) open the "system Prefrences" (this application should be on your Dock, but you can locate it by pressing "Control + space" to open the Spotlight search. Search "System Prefrences" and select the app.)

    2) click on "display".

    (3) select "Chipped" and choose the selected display resolution.

  • I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

    I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

    This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Thank you

    Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

  • MacBook Pro 13 "(mid-2012) do not recognize all internal HDD or SSD

    Hello, I have this very annoying problem with my Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2012.

    Two days ago he suddenly shows the ""folder with a question mark gray ' screen. " Reading online, I saw that many have had this problem in the past and that usually to fix just do this:

    -Restart the Mac, press Cmd + R, then the utility disk, check and repair the drive.

    I tried, but there was any Macintosh HD. There is rather a "disk0' with a score of"Mac OS X Base System.

    I tried also this, without success:

    -Remove the HARD drive and using an "all in 1 HDD Docking Station" try opening the hard drive of another Mac. It says that can not open the disk but I can erase it (did not, I still hope to recover data in the future with some software).

    -I already upgrade my Macbook Pro with an SSD, thinking about my drive HARD has been compromised, I bought a Samsung SSD 750 EVO (250 GB) and I replaced the HARD drive.

    -J' have formatted the SSD format "Mac OS X Extended (journaled)" and, from another Mac, created a boot USB with El Capitan installer disc.

    Then, with the SSD instead of HARD drive, I did all these things:

    -Start the Mac, press Option, start the USB key. But no "Macintosh SSD" has been shown when comes to decide where to install El Capitan.

    At this point, I was very confused and tried the last chance:

    -Start the mac without internal drive but with the SSD in the docking station. Boot from USB and try to install El Capitan on the SSD. And it worked!

    But stil does not work when I put the SSD inside the Macbook. Is possible whether the Sata cable who, from one day to the other, stop working?

    PS:

    I tried also Reset of the MSC and the Apple Hardware Test extended, giving "No problem found".

    I also tried to unplug the Sata cable connectors and clean the cable with a handkerchief, then incredibly SSD Macintosh appeared at the start of the USB, but installation failed at some point. And next time, I tried the SSD disappeared again.

    This problem is driving me crazy and I hope someone can help with suggestions. Thank you

  • Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

    I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

    I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
    Here are my system specs:


    Presentation of the material:

    Model name: MacBook Pro

    Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    L3 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 8 GB

    Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

    Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

    What I tried (from what I remember):

    I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

    If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

    So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.
