Should I update my MacBook 2010?

Should I update my MacBook 2010? I am a novice and mainly to store photos, e-mail and internet. Thanks in advance.

Mac OS X 10.6.8

The specifications are: MacBook7, 1

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz

L2Cache: 3MB

Memory: 4 GB

Bus speed: 1.07 GHz

In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. Upgrades and updates contain important security as well as additional functionality enhancements.

Although Apple has 2 GB of RAM 4-6 GB is really a minimum. Your using be expandable to 16 GB. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. After adding RAM, I'd update to El Capitan.

  • Should I update my Macbook 2009 end of El captain?

    My Macbook is an end of 2009 one, with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz processor, a chip of 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB graphics card. There are currently about OS X 10.9.5, and I've seen articles recently talk of a huge hole being patched in OSX recently. I know not if my Macbook update is worth the risk, because it works very well at the moment and I need for classes, but I don't want it to be dangerous. Should I update to El Captain, wait for macOS Sierra to do this, or keep on Mavericks?

    Thank you

    I can only say that the latest security updates are installed when you upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X. Now El Capitan. If you wait or not depends on if Apple releases always updates to security for the Mavericks, and if you install these updates.

  • Should I update my Intel motherboard drivers?

    I own a PC Intel D945GCNL Motherboard and Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 operating system. I am a user of Home PC and my PC is also supported 32-bit in the display and the version of DirectX 9 .0c for multimedia.

    My question:

    Is this OK to update the drivers from the Intel Download Center?

    For an example:

    (1) now I have Realtek HD Audio Driver 5.10.0.5404 in my PC. Intel Download Center shows that for Intel D945GCNL motherboard equipped with the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, there is a latest audio driver (released 09/23/2010) called Realtek driver Audio ALC, which installs the version of the audio driver Realtek 6196. Is this OK to download this new driver?

    (2) now I have Realtek Ethernet LAN Driver 5.664.205.2007 in my PC. Intel Download Center shows that for Intel D945GCNL motherboard with the Professional Microsoft Windows XP operating system, there is a latest driver LAN (published 02/08/2010) named as version 5,764. Is this OK to download this new driver?

    (3) Similarly, should I update the version of the graphics driver, too?

    Please give me your wisdom, advice, comments for this problem!

    suresh87 is correct, you need to update the drivers you listed on the Intel site .  Card mother Intel® D945GCL has the Realtek ALC888, Realtek RTL811B-GR and the Intel® 945GC chipset (which includes the Intel® 82945GC Express Chipset Graphics Memory Controller Hub) as embedded devices.  With what is the case, the Intel® Web site is thefavorite of all the drivers of the said source.  Intel was able to customizations for all Realtek drivers specific to their use on their D945GCL which all drivers that you might find elsewhere will not be included.

    Once you have downloaded and installed the drivers above, you can run DirectX® end-user Runtime Web install dxwebsetup.exe from Microsoft, , because it will download and update software DirectX v9.0c pilots who may be out of date on your system.

I won't be carrying massive files that weigh tons and can easily broken / lost files kept in the breast, as do the current year. However, I checked with my school and they say that you can use the technology as an alternative. Instantly I thought to Apple, since I love their products and buy regular. I have a Apple Watch, 6 s iPhone and an iPad 2 Air (we sell) but I want something new and powerful, I can use for Sixth Form.

    So my question is, should I get a Macbook (any model) or a Pro iPad with accessories?

    I take:

    Technical design - so should run CAD, Word, be fundamentally powerful and able to have sketches.

    Media Studies - must be able to manage several videos 4K and execution of things such as Word, books, and iMovie.

    Geography-Easy access to the internet anywhere, possibility to draw diagrams and just to run applications etc and be good at watching documentaries, etc.

    Mathematics - internet access and video on good quality, easily be able to write notes and information.

    So which one should I buy? Please can you help me

  • Should I update iMac 21.5 mid 2011?

    When I got my new iMac iRetina my old iMac was put in mothballs. By this, I mean that he sat at a desk not used for more than a year. My wife wants to start using it and I just turned it on and a miracle happened, it works. I thought I had left it in a State ready to be configured for a new user, but it is apparently already configured to connect to my apple id because I see an option to close your session with my name on it. Two questions: 1) how that it is configured to check? Since we went with the iOS devices, we used the same ID apple so if we buy apps, they are working on one of the devices. (2) it is a 21.5 "mid-2011 with an Intel Core i5 to 2.7 ghz and 1333 mhz 24 GB DDR memory. He is currently in OS X Lion 10.7.5. What OS should I update 1) this iMac can deal with good performance and 2) is free? Did someone using Open Office for the iMac? If yes it you please?

    1. System Preferences > users and groups > Admin account

    System Preferences > iCloud > sign in

    If it is not configured as you wish, the easiest would be to wipe the drive with disk utility and reformat. Then, in the wizard configuration, make your choice.

    2. you can upgrade directly to El Capitan 10.11.5

    In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

    Several things you should do before moving...

    1. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

    2. check HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

    3. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps

    4 make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

    5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

    6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Copy and then drag it to a different places like downloads.

    7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

  • 750-103D wanted: should I update to the latest drivers listed on 14 August 2016

    I bought my office on 15 August and just noticed that the HP customer online support shows most, if not all latest drivers appear on 14 August.

    My office is currently superbly and I wonder if it is really necessary to update the latest drivers that I remembered some experts counsel that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

    So I should or should not update the drivers?

    Expert IT advice are welcome. Thank you.

    Vincemy82

    The date of the driver that you see on the site of HP is probably wrong.  That is the date that the web page was last updated by HP, not the date, that the drivers have been released.

    To view the date of the driver, you must click on the Details tab for each of the drivers.  You will see then probably much more ANCIENT date of actual output for each driver.

    Good luck

  • Should I update all the files from the Toshiba site after using the recovery CD

    I just used my recovery CD and update the Windows Update System.

    The question is: should I update all files in the files on this site download section as well?

    Usually after using the Toshiba Recovery CD everything should works and works correctly
    To my knowledge from time to time Toshiba has released new version of some tools or drivers. For example the BT stack will be developed all the time.
    But I think that if you have any problems with your system and peripherals, then you don't need t to update anything.
    Small is my opinion...

  • HP 15-af131dx: should I update windows 10 birthday?

    Should I update to windows 10 birthday? Someone had problems with the update?

    To install the updated Windows 10 anniversary choice you completely. Yes, people have had problems with the update. If you need the use of the computer and can not afford to face questions, you can wait on the installation of the update. If problems occur during or after installation, and you can manage it, you can install the update. I suggest creating a Windows repair disc and do a Windows system image backup before installing the update.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Should I update to 9.2.1 on my iPad iOS 3 (iOS 8.4)?

    I have a 3 ipad 64 gb wifi only. I am currently on iOS 8.4, I think to update to iOS 9.2.1... Should I risk? I'm afraid that something will happen during the update, because my ipad is almost full (64 GB) and I do not have a backup and is not a portable computer to synchronize. Information on my ipad is important. and I fear that my iPad won't handle it and be very slow. Should I update?

    Without a backup I would not update. Very likely you can update without problem, but once in a while something goes wrong and you need to restore from a backup.

    You have a backup of iCloud?

    In any event a problem may occur any time so that you must always back up frequently

  • Should I update my WNDR3400v3 to the Firmware 1.0.0.48?

    I see there's a 1.0.0.48 updated the firmware on the Netgear site, but control over the router software said: I'm updating even if I'm on 1.0.0.46. Should I update?

    Personally, I put because it is a new release.

    If you have a valid reason, of course, but if things are
