update of the macbook pro

does make sense to switch to a new 2015 macbook pro with the retina, if I bought one in 2012?

Look at the differences between the two models, decide whether you can justify.  Justification can be "better resolution of need", can be "need faster CPU."

I'm not judging you or tell you what is decision.  Just advise you how I would make the decision.

The 2012 model should last a while.  My renovated 2011 still works well.  Improve not now because you're afraid he will die "tomorrow."

Just keep your backups until you decide to move.

  • Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch i7 (mid-2012) worm.

    Dear Apple community

    Greetings,

    I would like to know your opinion about the upgrade to the Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) i7 2.9 worm. by the following:

    1. replace the stock HARD 750 GB to a Samsung EVO 850 SSD 1 TB drive in the link below

    cm_cr_pr_product_top http://www.Amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-am/DP/B00OAJ412U/Ref=? ie = UTF8

    2. replace the stock RAM memory which is 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) in the link below

    http://www.Amazon.com/crucial-DDR3L-1600-PC3-12800-CT2K8G3S160BM-CT2C8G3S160BM/d p/B008LTBJFW/ref = sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1450...

    I know that apple says that 8GB is the maximum RAM.

    is it OK to do? ? (System and stability not wise not hardware wise)

    will I have problems with the system after the upgrade? ?

    I had done a lot of research about this, but am not sure yet.

    your help is highly appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    I would avoid the Samsung SSD.  If you analyze these forums, many users have experienced difficulties with the Samsung SSD.  (Some are not)  Note that Samsung is unable to talk about Mac compatibility on their web site.  I think what to say.

    I can recommend Crucial SSD based on my experience in the installation of three of them in my Mbps.   OWC SSDS have an excellent reputation.

    I support the Crucial RAM.  I have 16 GB of Crucial RAM installed in two of my Mbps.  16 GB of RAM should present no problems for your MBP.  OWC is also a great salesman of RAM Mac compatible.

    Ciao.

  • Update of the MacBook Pro for iPad Pro?

    I'm looking to replace my MacBook Pro (MBP) for a new iPad Pro. Apart from the obvious differences that exist between operating systems, i.e. OSX El Capitan vs iOS (9)

    Are there specific functions or tasks that cannot be performed on an iPad Pro, which can be done on the MBP?

    When it comes to streaming music (Spotify) and video (Youtube, Netflix, Amazon, BBC iplayer etc), will all these without downloading additional software, Flash drives or iOS apps for the iPad?

    Any constructive comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Most OS X applications with versions of iOS will have reduced functionality located in iOS (for example. (Pages, Numbers, MS Office applications).  iOS is now supported split screen for some applications (not all), but it offers no true multitasking. iOS supports NO FLASH - never has and probably never will be.  Some 3rd party browsers or proxy subscription services offer alternatives to that, but it's not exactly a replacement for FLASH native.  It's the same for Java applications.

    iOS is not addressable accessible file system or cross-app of the user, as OS X.  iOS apps are sandboxed to sand and largely unable to interact with eachother or every-other data.

    Honestly, even though I love my iPad Pro and use every day for staff and job tasks, it is NOT a true replacement for a desktop computer / laptop.  If your use is very specifically limited to certain iOS apps or certain types of applications that are very conducive to a tablet OS, you should be fine with just an iPad, but if not, you will find you want always a laptop or desktop computer, at least for certain tasks or the types of applications.

    Please also note, that iOS devices, like any electronic mass storage, must be saved if you care about your data at all.  Without a computer, your only backup option is to iCloud online backups.  Solutions available iCloud for photography, however, NO do not replace true or complete for archiving your photos elsewhere for guard - should photo be archived elsewhere (computer, another Cloud Computing service) regardless of your choice of iCloud photo service (s).  A computer is a perfect solution for a backup of redundant iOS device using iTunes and iCloud for backups.  A computer is also required to restore an iOS device in the case of a corrupt system, update, install or some other potential recoverable occsionally disaster.

  • Update of the Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2012

    Hello...

    I im experiencing some major performance issues on my Mac Book Pro 13 mid 2012 thumb and would really like to move to 16 GB of memory Ram and an SSD.

    That someone has or has had experience with the mise a niveau of this model... or the upgrade in general and running on some issues.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Best

    Assuming that it is a model identifier 9.2, it will accept the 16 GB of RAM and an SSD will improve its overall performance.  The best sources for RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.  Based on reputation and personal experience, OWC and Crucial get my nod for SSDS as well.

    You will need to decide if the higher cost for one SSD worth it. compared to a classic HARD disk if the bank account is fat, do.  I have.

    Why did you start a new post? Post again only after only 8 minutes accomplished nothing.

    There is no general problem going to EL Capitan on your Mac.

    Some applications may require updating.

    Some devices like printer may require the updated drivers. For some readers of devices not being updated are available.

    This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the El Capitanforum or another appropriate forum.

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

  • I was in the middle of an update when my Macbook Pro closing in on me, and when he turned back, he wouldn't let log me into my account. Why is this happening?

    I was in the middle of an update when my Macbook Pro closing in on me, and when he turned back, he wouldn't let log me into my account. I know that my password and everything, but this isn't just me connect. I have to restart the laptop? If so is there a way I can save all my documents? Please help as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Was it a software update from apple? When an apple update requires a restart, it may take a little time so that it starts. If it do not, you can try a reboot. What year MBP and operating system you are running. If everything fails and you have the recovery partition. You can start on it and do a reinstall. This should not delete any personal files.

  • Change of keyboard USB external Apple connected to the Macbook Pro

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,

    I need your help. I have a MacBook Pro running the last Sierra 17 "MacOS. I bought a 27 "Thunderbolt display and wanted to use a full external keyboard USB Apple (with the help of the digital keys). I have connected to the screen "USB port, closed down the internal screen MacBook... magic happened... keyboard poped office to the top of the screen external AND external full resolution was working properly..." Unfortunately only for 1-2 minutes, then the layout changed back irreversible in a layout resembling the layout if I would press "alt". Only way I could "resolve" to disconnect the keyboard USB plug and then plug again... but after 1-2 minutes did the same thing...

    I tried to plug the USB plug into the MacBook Pro directly, but the same thing happened...

    I am so unhappy that I can't use correctly the full length external Apple keyboard, large... Any hint/resolution?

    Thank you for your help in advance,
