• Latest MBPs are not autonomous RAM/SSD upgrade?

  Hello

  I recently heard that these latest Mbit/s do not allow users to upgrade RAM or SSD.

  What is the latest model of MBP which will allow upgrades?

  Would that be a model already abandoned?

  Thank you very much!

• MBP: monitor detected but no image except by VGA

  I have a MBP of Mid 2012 running latest El Capitan.

  When I connect to an external monitor, it is detected correctly in views (exact name, resolution, etc.), but the monitor doesn't detect any image from the portable computer. I tried the DVI - D and DisplayPort with various cables and monitors with the same result, but a picture appears if I connect to VGA. It started in the past week.

  The built-in display does not work normally.

  Looks like a hardware failure in the computer DisplayPort connector laptop, as the pins are worn or something?

  Any other ideas?

• Use the old MBP as disk hard wi - fi?

  Is it possible to use my MBP 2011 as an external hard drive access via wifi with my new MBP mid-2015?

  Otherwise, I can buy an external hard drive and transfer everything on it; How I linking to our wifi router, and I can buy a regular drive (LaCie is what I've always bought in the past).

  Thanks for any help.

  Get an external drive enclosure usb, remove it from the old computer and put the old drive in the case, connect the box/HDD to the usb port of your router. Then, connect to the drive using wifi to your router.

  My MBP does not check the code to send and receive my iPhone SMS

  Hello rose_bud_2012,

  I understand you are trying to use the continuity between your Mac and your iPhone so that you can send SMS and MMS messages from your computer, but aren't being asked to enter the code during the installation. Fortunately, we have a number of measures that can help to ensure that everything is as it should before the implementation, but also to ensure that everything goes as planned during the installation.
  

  Use this feature with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that satisfies the requirements of continuity system. Make sure that your devices are configured as follows:

  • Each device is connected to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
  • On iPhone, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure the Apple ID at the top of the screen is the same Apple ID you use for iMessage on other devices. Add a check to your address, phone number, so that you can be reached by both iMessage. Do the same on your iPad or iPod touch.
  • On iPhone, go to settings > Messages > transfer, text messages, then choose which devices to send and receive text messages from the iPhone. A verification code and then on each device. Enter this code on your iPhone.
  • On Mac, open Messages, and then choose message > Preferences. Click accounts, and then select your account from iMessage. Make sure the Apple ID shown here is the same Apple ID you use on other devices. Add a control to your phone number and email address.

• end of 2011 MBP close

  Hi all

  I have a 2011 end mbp, 10.9.5, which began to turn down when the power supply cord. I can put it to sleep and move it, then plug it back, so the closure is not immediate. my battery is the original one, but the sys info app says the condition is normal. I have reset the PRAM and MSC, it seems to work, but not for more than a minute or two.

  question: even if the sys info app says battery is normal, can be wrong sometimes?

  (either way, apple replaced 2 weeks ago the card logical under warranty I don't think it's connected, but may be.)

  I'd be happy to buy a new battery (such as the technology more recent one) and see if that helps, but with the sys info app saying normal battery, I don't know if that would help. thoughts? pasted the battery below report (why o why paste from info sys app not working?):

  Health information:

  I have a MBP of 2011 as well late, and I replaced the logic myself aboard there is not long.

  And then I had to replace the battery as well... after a few questions.

  I suggest to replace the battery, it MUST be fried at this point.

  By fried I mean old, old way.

  Genius Bar can do some specific tests, which will fail if the battery needs to be replaced.

  It's the only way you can know for sure...

• MBP early 2011 camera does not

  Hello

  I have tried everything mentioned in this thread, like:

  1. kill the process of VCDAssistant (I might have misspelled earlier)
  2. Reset the SMC
  3. Drain/battery AC only use
  4. Create a new user
  5. Perform a clean installation
  6. Use a third-party software

  Nothing I've tried looking at the camera. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

  Take your MBP for a Genius Bar for some tests...

  Mine is end of 2011 and I am happy that I am and control me.

• I need some advice on how to upgrade my MBP mid 2010 HDD to SDS without using clone software

  Unfortunately, I had resisted the upgrade of the OS and kept my Snow Leopard running for a few weeks when the incompatibility of the various things became a nuisance I took the plunge and upgraded to OS El Capitan. That pretty much killed my hard drive. It kept failing good start and eventually when it did, no matter what function took forever to action. I took it to the Genius Bar and after a few tests it came with hard drive failure. In accordance with the notice given to me - I was told I should buy a Samsung EVO 850 and it would take me 10 minutes to install and simply use time machine to move my data.

  I can happily work on people, but the machines seem to much more complex.

  I decided to do a little reading and now am a little stuck and confused as clearly this is not so simple.

  I have a SATA cable / USB. I think I know how to mount the SSD with the SATA connection format and then fresh install OS El Capitan.

  The thing to note is that my MBP has been an erratic behavior of 2-3 years with gel and episodes of kernel errors and downtime. I thought previously, it had something to do with an external application - google chrome and got rid of this to use Opera instead. He made much less frequent mistakes but nevertheless still occurred.

  For this reason, it does not seem logical to use clone apps (although much would have made life easier) and I need to somehow this the long way round... or so I think, but please correct me if wrong.

  I have a Time Machine backup before I upgraded my OS, and before you try anything, I'll do another then its judgment the new OS.

  My questions are:

  1. after formatting my SSD, I should make a partition?

  2. is it acceptable for then simply drag a copy of the OS El Cap to the SSD and run hopefully leading to installation?

  3. What is the best way to migrate my data?

  Note that I'm not a tech savvy person, have never done anything like this before and its taken me weeks to reach these conclusions to date.

  With step by step instructions all tips are welcome.

  Thank you.

  Create partitions first, then format each partition.

  I think you need to create a USB flash drive install and then boot from the flash drive and go launched the installation process.

• My MBP is showing a "Remote Disc" in the list of devices. It's not a hard drive.

  My MBP is showing a "Remote Disc" in the list of devices. It's not a hard drive. So where did it come from? I 'get info' on this subject, but it doesn't tell me a thing.  He sees the disk drives elsewhere in my house? It's to see my iPhone as a remote disc? The photo with him is a DVD or CD gold. It drives me crazy.  I am running OSX Sierra.

  This has been on the Mac for a while now... Here is a link that can better describe it.

• I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

  I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

  It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

  This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

  Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

  Ciao.

• move a hard drive from MBP 2012 in a mac mini 2009

  Hello

  I bought a 500 GB ssd and I am cloning my macbookpro HD 500 gb on it at the moment.

  I plan to use my macbookpro HD to replace my 120 GB mac mini HD.

  I wonder if it could be possible to put the macbookpro HD in the mini without deleting its content, which would allow me to win time install OSX and the transfer of data from my macbookpro? Would it cause problems?

  I upgraded from the mac mini 8 GB RAM.

  The macbookpro turning El Capitan.

  I just bought used the mac mini and is currently under Leopard, but would like to have of El Capitan on it.

  Thanks for your advice.

  m @.

  The Mini can run 10.11.x, the only thing I'm not sure of is if the supplied Apple MBP 6/Gbs Player supports the Mimi 3/Gbs speed... most do, but...
