MacBook Pro 15 "Core 2 Duo (early 2008) - El Capitan Performance

Similar Questions

• I can transplant my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 "MacBook Pro hard drive into my late 2008 MacBook 5.1?

  The battery on my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 '' MacBook Pro just exploded, almost destroying the machine. As I need to replace the battery and the trackpad, I guess that's maybe a good time to upgrade to an SSD, leaving me with the old 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive Serial ATA to play with. This hd currently has Yosemite and all my essential programs installed on it. I also saved it on an external drive via Time Machine.

  Meanwhile, I have a MacBook late 2008 5.1 I want to migrate everything to, however the HD is only 320 GB, resulting in errors when trying to make an update of Time Machine.

  Can I pop the hard drive of the 2011 MBP in my MacBook late 2008 5.1? Is the material compatible? The OS sees it's a different system at startup and make the necessary adjustments (No firewire, there less RAM, etc.)?

  If not, how can I move my Applications without moving on the entire hard drive? Or could I format the hard drive to 500 GB and then run the Time Machine backup? It would even work?

  A lot of variables here. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I forgot to mention that the MacBook 5.1 is 2.4 GHz.

• The limits for OSX Mac Pro 3.1 update in early 2008

  I wonder till I can upgrade the operating system of my Mac Pro 3.1

  I currently have El Capitan

  I would spend the money, do some hardware upgrades (SSD, RAM)

  and I wouldn't, being an early 2008 to discover the next year general hardware of the machine is too old

  and does not receive any other updates or any new OS

  I do not pretend to have updates of the system for another 10 years but I don't find me 'old' next year

  Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing what will be obsolete next year or the year after, etc.

• MacBook Pro a mess (maybe after upgrading to El Capitan)

  I need help in desperate mode.  I tried to implement everything that I know and I now return to the pros.    I have a Macbook Pro mid-2012.  The computer is still very well without any problems.   After about 3-4 weeks after the upgrade to El Capitan, I started to have problems.   I'm not sure it's related, so I don't want to blame the new version, but wanted to mention.

  The problems began with suddenly a series of cruise lines up and down my screen in vertical columns.  The computer would then closed and when I started it again, I would get three consecutive beeps.   After searching for the reason for this, I found that it was probably a RAM problem and saw messages recommending to turn on and remove two cards of memory RAM.  This would help the lines/beeps etc, but the beach ball began to spin all the time.     I ran a scan of material and everything checked, including the RAM.   I feel upgrade my RAM anyway (we stock 4 GB), so I buy new RAM and upgraded to 16 GB.   Unfortunately, this did not help to remove the rotation beach ball.   It runs the same as before, but the delay/spin isn't as long as it was before.  Seems that upgrading RAM reduces the time of "spin".

  Since the upgrade, I reset memory PRAM/NVRAM, recommended in this forum.  Did not help.   Then I booted the computer in Mode safe and also reset the SMC.   None worked.

  Then, I started in HD recovery using the command-R and repair the hard disk and permissions using first aid option in disk utility.   Nothing has changed.  Always turn the ball and beach closing my apps suddenly by itself.  The machine will be restart as suddenly about once a day for a reason any.

  The amazing thing is that the beach ball turns constantly and at the same time my activity monitor says I have 90% of free CPU while my reel becomes crazy.

  The next step on the list that I saw on the forum is to reinstall OS X.   I did not this again, because my Time Machine hangs and won't give me a recent backup.   I'm religious about backing up (about every 2-3 weeks) and my normal backups take about 30 minutes (usually leave it all night in stopping in bed).  Since this problem started, the Time Machine backup "preparedness Back Up Now" never of leaves.  I left overnight (8 hours) and still stuck in the preparation of backup mode.   I've even left for a total of 24 hours and nothing.   The only new information I have to save may not be more than 3 or 4 GBs top (just emails and documents (photos and videos are on the external drive), while certainly something will not.)

  Now that you have the story, what should I do?    I don't want to reinstall an OS X cool unless I have to, without a current backup.   This isn't the end of the world, but I would like to have the e-mails and documents that have been organized and classified over the last 2 months.

  I've seen enough of few people displaying the results of EtreCheck and to be lucky with this, so here are the results.  I don't know how to properly analyze it, but looks like I need a larger Time Machine backup drive.

  (Its the same thing I've always used, so don't know why all of a sudden it stopped allowing me to save.)   I remember that Time Machine used to give an opinion on the size of the disk when it is too small, and I got that.)

  Thank you all in advance for the help!

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• MacBook Pro lagg issues having an impact on the overall performance

  Hello

  I had problems with casual gal/minute gel on my macbook pro. The problem affects all programs and becomes especially annoying on programs such as Logic Pro X and Adobe Lightroom to photo editing and audio. For example on Logic Pro X will come back even if the error "system overload" did everything that I could to get a smoother performance on the program.

  After a few days looking for a response, I decided to do a general cleaning of my drive. I got more than 50% empty but performance improves.

  After that, I decided to do a new clean install of Mac OS x in the hope that this would solve my problems. I didn't not use time machine for backup, I just copied the files, I needed and have yet to put em turn the computer on.

  After 2 days my problem has not yet been resolved, I tried the PRAM and reset SMC, but it has no effect. Even now as I type with only safari open I short freezes every 10-20 seconds approximately 0.5 s.

  All solutions? I already ordered a new SATA cable to replace the one I think he could the cause of my problems.

  Here are my specs, ram and SSD are updated.

  MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012)

  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

  1 TB SSD (samsung)

  I'm under that the latest version of El Capitan and the logic is version 10.2

  Hoping someone can help me

  If you still run with the clean install and you have the same problem. Then, you may be directed in the right direction. If you have an external drive Enclosures or cable usb to 2.5 sata adapter. You can put the internal drive in and check to see if the problem is still there. That will tell you if it is cable or not.

• My MacBook Pro won't start after update to El Capitan, how can I go back?

  Hello

  I really hope that someone can help me here. I've updated to El Capitan Yosemite yesterday through software update, but now when I start the computer I get "no entry" or sign a circle with a diagonal line through it, or the Apple with the progress bar / error message / black screen and it repeats 3 times then stops.

  I'mnot you know where my disk of Mac OS x is so ideally don't want to reinstall the whole system.

  I did a back up of my work using Time Machine before saving, so I hope that I have most of the things I need backup.

  Restart by pressing cmd - R after the tone. It should boot into Recovery. From there, use disk to check/repair disk utility. Quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

  The circle with a slash through it means that it does not find the necessary boot files.

• Black screen on startup after update of nvidia driver geforce 8600M GT XP home with Bootcamp on dual-boot MacBook Pro 3.1

  My computer is a 15 "MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo dual boot Windows XP family. I recently upgraded to Bootcamp 3.1 that caused a major graphics display problem: the screen resolution has been set to 640 x 480 and wouldn't all interface fit properly on the screen, making it difficult to use to completely unusable. Finally, I figured out to roll back the Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GT driver of the 197 present in the previous version of 195.

  It's all working again.  XP, the interface and all my apps worked fine.  However, a couple of my applications asked me to update the driver, and I am just curious stupidly.  So, I turned on the system restore, backed up my XP using Winclone partition and tried to update the driver again. This time, the problem is even worse. Once XP has started, the screen goes black and I don't have access to the operating system at all.

  Is it still possible to roll back the graphics card driver without wipe partition, completely reinstall XP through bootcamp Assistant and then reload my clone? I have the XP installation dvd, but do not know how to proceed with him.

  Thank you

  OK, I solved my problem. I managed to solve this problem by booting in safe mode using my installation cd.  This got me to the home user interface screen where I could access the nvidia folder and reinstall the previous version of the driver.

  Hope this helps someone else out there with a similar problem.

  Good luck.

• 4.1 Core 2 Duo 13 "white MacBook (late 2008)

  I have an old MacBook running Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and want to switch to Lion, is it possible? I don't want to buy it only to find out that once I have it, it is not possible to upgrade to it. My laptop is MacBook 4.1 Core 2 Duo 13 "white (Late 2008 Model)

  Yes, if the computer has at least 2 GB of RAM and you improve first to 10.6.8.

• MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)

  I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, bought in early 2011).

  The specifications are...

  OS X Version 10.10.5, Yosemite

  MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)

  Processor: Intel Core i5 to 2.3 GHz

  My Mac has the ability to me safely upgrade my system for macOS Sierra?

  If you have 2 GB of RAM, so apple says,

  otherwise realistic if you have 4 to 8 GB of RAM the rest of use would probably say it's a safer bet.

• Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

  What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

  New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

  Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

• Please help: cannot install Windows XP (64-bit) on my Macbook Pro.

  Hi all

  I desperately need help! I've installed and upgraded to VMware Fusion 2.02, then created a Virtual Machine (Windows XP Professional) and inserted my XP Pro. Editing student (64-bit) in my disc drive.

  The virtual machine starts, and moments later he said: "trying to load an x 64 operating system, however this CPU is not compatible with this mode. Please install a x 86 32-bit operating system"

  Now, I tried to do some research to solve the problem, and VMware says that any version of 2.0 + would make 64-bit Windows OS works. Apparently, this isn't the case! VMware Tools is installed, either, but you do not have to install the guest operating system to install the tools? I'm certainly in computing, but not knowledgeable like any of you. What can I do to fix this? I'm really bummed that this cool software I bought does not work for me. =(

  I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz under Leopard.

  Wait, how did this makes sense? I installed this OS via Bootcamp and Parallels before.

  I tried Yahoo to disconnect and reconnect it. I tried to remove the 'sandbox' suggestion of Linc Davis here: Mail is stuck in my Outbox?

  I really want to plan a Genius Bar appointment for this but I'm frustrated because I use the Mail App every day and often forget I can not send him, and then e-mails sit for days before I noticed the small Outbox (1) in the sidebar! Please help me Apple community, you're my only hope.

• MacBook pro 15 "heating problem

  My MacBook Pro that I bought in early 2015, has recently started abnormally warm under normal workload.

  I started facing this problem last month. Is what I run Firefox, watching videos on YouTube. Within a few minutes, the fan starts and the bottom heats up to an unbearable temperature.

  I followed most of the steps in order to maintain well ventilated, but often I tend to keep my turn.

  I checked the activity monitor, and it doesn't seem to be any application other than my web browser that uses the CPU. I even rebooted my mac a couple of times hoping that would solve the problem but it didn't.

  Help, please!

  Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
