• Mid-2010 Macbook pro crashing

  Hello apple support community! I found a few other discussions on the issue, that I care, but I could not solve this problem. I hope someone here can help.

  I have mid-2010 Macbook pro 10.10.5 Yosemite running. It keeps crashing and goes to a black screen and then restart itself. I was not able to nail down to a specific part of the software at the source of the problem. I already uninstalled other software I found by searching for BOOT_TIME in the console that was causing the computer to restart. When I searched BOOT_TIME this time and looked at the first crash before the reboot, it says this:

  21/12/15 6:43:57.000 PM kernel [0]: Google Chrome it (card: 0xffffff801a9a8d20) triggered DYLD shared region unnest for card: 0xffffff801a9a8d20, 0x7fff88a00000-> 0x7fff88c00000 region. While it is not abnormal for debuggers, this increases the system memory footprint until the target ends.

  21/12/15 6:43:59.351 PM Google Chrome support [528]: CGAffineTransformInvert: singular matrix.

  Chrome is the origin of the problem? It seems that whenever an accident occurs, it is internet related navigation. Any help is appreciated!

  see you soon

  The problem is probably due to the discrete GPU failure. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the discrete GPU. It is of a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.

  Oh, get rid of Chrome.

• DDR3 DDR3L vs for mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch

• Install a video processor in mid-2010 Macbook pro?

  Hello

  I'm trying to get my computer to run a video game that says it requires 1 GB of video processing. My 2010 Macbook pro has a NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB graphics card that I'm sure is a built-in Cardinal Ive read a lot about the possibility of using the integrated or discreet card. I'm not very good with computers, so I'm not exactly what this means entirely, but I'm wanting to know if it is possible to install a new video card or "Amp up" is my current card (for a lack of a better term).

  Thank you very much!

  Sincerely,

  Colby

  In short, no..

  You're welcome to try, but the robots controlled by computer performed the critical weld who put the custom-selected graphics chip on the logic board.  The OSX image has the correct drivers for the graphics chip on the logic board.  You must remove and then re - solder a new chip that has the same pinout as the original, then you need the driver for the graphics chip in the OSX image.

  Especially on a Board of logic that was never designed to be compatible with the current-technology graph.

• Windows 10 install on mid 2010 Macbook Pro 6,1 (2.66 17 ")

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my Macbook.

  My Macbook is:

  MacBook Pro, Mid 2010 6.1 2.66 ghz

  8 gb Ram (standard)

  500 GB HDD (standard) Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB SSD

  El Capitan 10.11.2 OSX

  I try to install windows from ISO 10 Windows available on the Microsoft website.

  (https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10ISO)

  My first question was that I could not create a bootable USB drive using bootcamp on my MacBook model.

  I followed this guide to change the info.plist file and create a USB bootable with bootcamp. (http://tsentas.net/create-a-windows-7-or-later-version-install-disk-missing-on-e l-capitan /)

  I got to the point where I select the BOOTCAMP partition I would like to install, however, received the error:

  "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 solved the problem of GPT/MBR by using this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/508026/windows-detects-gpt-disk-as-mbr-in-efi-boo t

  Then installing windows told me that my hard drive was not, I tried to continue the installation, but that failed. I checked the disk utility, and of course my disk S.M.A.R.T. status was "not..." So I've upgraded to a Samsung SSD (can't believe I did this more soon... so much faster)

  Where I am: The installation now progresses from player selection and copy files. However, I get the error at the very end:

  
  

  "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer . . Installation cannot continue. »

  I tried to delete, reformat the partition in the windows installation. Re-partitioning via bootcamp and resetting the PRAM I have worked for others. (rebooting and holding CMD + OPTION + P + R)

  However, I'm stuck now.

  Please HELP. It drives me crazy.

  Thanks in advance.

  You've seen just the tip of the iceberg. You install an EFI operating system no UEFI Mac compatible. Can you run a SMC reset - reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support and try again? Most likely, it is impossible to create/update the BCD. Be aware that you will encounter problems of driver or hardware may not appear when you use EFI boot.

  A better method is to install W7 / W8 + and then upgrading to W10 on-site. If you have purchased a license W10, this cannot be a valid option.

• 15 mid-2010 "MacBook Pro Logic Board

  Excuse me if I do this wrong, because this is the first time I ever used something like this, other than looking for things.  So I apologize in advance for any missteps.

  I recently took my mid-2010 "15, 2.4 GB MacBook Pro in an Apple retailer approved and found the logic board is the problem.  They also informed me that there was a 'reminder' on this point to be replaced free of charge.  However, this recall went to day a few years ago.  Nice, since I have nothing received from Apple on any reminder & it was not giving me any problems so far, apparently I'm screwed now.  The dealer said that because my machine is now considered to be "vintage", Apple has more room, the #661-5566 or #661-6360 in stock MLB & my logic board current should be sent to Florida to Arizona to be "renovated" and then reinstalled.  Apparently costing a little more than $500.  Ouch!

  I had been thinking of buying the new 2016 15 "MacBook Pro when it comes out later this year and using my old one as a backup.  However, as Apple could not extend the courtesy of advising me of this initial reminder of my logic board, spare me $500, I am strongly reconsider this purchase.  Unfortunately, I like Apple products and have bought several iPads, the large iPad Pro and Apple iPhones right up through my iPhone current 6.  Invested in Apple's it makes profoundly difficult to get away from them, but not impossible.  Had they notified me of the recall, I wouldn't have these problems now.

  My logic Board recommendations or suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

• Mid 2010 MacBook Pro could not be repaired

  Hey guys,.

  My MacBook 2010 Mid Pro unfortunately has a problem with the logic board and fits in this issue:

  https://www.Apple.com/au/support/MacBookPro-videoissues/

  After a match with apple care (which was extremely helpful and friendly), they determined it was a vintage product and could not be fixed by them. So, my question is that since the program is still in business and my problem is a known issue, are there options for me?

  I don't know, but this applies to the 2010 Ant models the way that I read it. This program is for units from early 2011 and so would not apply in a mid-2010.

• Best replacement battery for mid 2009 Macbook Pro

  Hi all

  The battery on my MBP of mid 2009 is on its way. I discovered recently that Apple now no no batteries for MBP 2009 community service because they are vintage. I was very disappointed by Apple, after hearing this. My question is what is the best replacement of the third battery in my laptop? I read the comments from Anker Lizone, keys and power GreenBox. They all seem similar, much good reviews, some bad. Nothing similar to the original farm. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

• Slow Internet - mid-2010 MacBook Pro w / El Capitan

  So I have a MacBook Pro 15 mid-2010 "running OS X El Capitan." A week ago my internet started running very slowly, until the point where it's impacting on my ability to get the work done. The speed seems to be the same if I'm at work or at home and if I connect via WIFI or connect directly to the router.

  I was reviewed in the nets of support without success. I have reset the PRAM and the SMC which seems to help briefly, but then the internet speed slowed considerably again in 30 minutes approximately.

  In addition, do not know if it of related or not, but I opened the Terminal today to try a solution suggested and noticed that my root directory is: ' melissas-iphone: ~ scottnewman$ ". I have absolutely no idea how melissas-iphone bears on my MacBook, and nobody in my family or connected to my Apple ID named melissa.

  The help of this community would be much appreciated!

  Hello scnewman!

  I would definitely internet speeds when I'm on my Mac to act normally, too.  It makes it that much better.  Two resets are good to try.  If you haven't done so already, you can run the Apple Hardware Test from the MacBook Pro to rule out other problems: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  After this, you can create a new user to check if it's a large system or a specific user: How to test one question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

  Then goes into safe mode, too: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

  Response with no result and we can take it from there.

  See you soon!

• RAM upgrade for mid-2012 MacBook Pro question?

  So, I bought some RAM Corsair (2 x 8 GB) to install in my MacBook Pro for mid-2012. It has been well over a month now and I get freezes and flaws that were not there when the Apple RAM stock has already been installed. My question is... are it freezes and the seeds one result of the brand of RAM I have installed (Corsair) or the fact that I am superior to the amount of 8 GB of RAM recommended for this laptop of Apple to the particular address?

  Thank you.

  As you can see here, your MBP can, indeed, support for 16 GB of RAM. However, DIMMs must meet Apple specifications which are often much more demanding that really meant DIMMS for PC can meet. One of the advantages of buying from OWC (in the link) is that they provide 100% support so their products need to be designed with the Mac in mind. If you have no problem with DIMM Apple, but you do with Corsair DIMMS, I would say getting them replaced or, better yet, to get a refund.

• OS for mid 2009 MacBook Pro update

  I work for a non-profit on a laptop given to us by a local research laboratory. So the first thing to understand is that I have to find "the best way to make things work" even though it is not as advanced or great power that may be desirable in an ideal situation. Who says:

  I've been running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro mid-2009. From now on, the software companies are all pulling the versions of software that I can use on 10.6.8 so I have no choice but to update my operating system.

  My concern: two years ago I updated a MacBookPro 2007 10.6.8 to 10.7 (Lion) and he died 3 weeks later. The technology at the Mac Genius Bar told me that it was because the real hardware - hard drive of the machine - was so old that the upgrade has been too hard on it and it burned. I understand that, even if the hard drive is not burning after an upgrade, the computer may run very slowly and for the same reason (physical constraints). It would also be a problem.

  Given all this, what is the best suggestion for the safest possible and achievable OS upgrade, that I can put on my machine so I can stay in business? Can probably manage 10.7, even if the material is nearly 7 years old? What 10.8.5 10.8 or same?

  I realize that system specs say it can work even in Yosemite. But I don't want to take the risk that go well, given my recent disasters.

  Thanks for any advice you can provide.

  You never mentioned the amount of RAM the machine has-

  You can always switch to Mountain Lion 10.8 - here

  http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

  There is a cost, but I don't know if you call or otherwise contact Apple with your situation - you can get a redemption code - well no harm in trying

• Panic Chronicle GPU? (mid 2010 MacBook Pro)

  I bought a great laptop - I expected it to last several years. However, I have experienced chronic panic GPU in recent years (reports sent to Apple every time) and in hindsight, seems to coincide with the OS X updates. I understand that this problem has been fixed by a person qualified to Apple that ended. I never knew or made aware that it was a problem or a potential problem until the end of the year last through these forums. Is to replace the only cure? I hesitate to spend more money, because I also just replaced the original HD because of the failure.

  Surely there are enough of us on a limb here that Apple could extend this period of repair.

  You have the misfortune to have a model identifier 6.2 MBP that GPU problems. There was a program to replace on these models, but that has expired.

  You can have the logic board replaced, but that will be your responsibility.

  You can download this provisional application:

  https://gfx.IO

  This will allow you to disengage the discreet GPU and use only it integrated. This will stop the panic kernel, but at the expense of the graphics performance.

• The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?

  I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?

  Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.

  Thank you!

  My answer is no.

  However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.

  However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

  The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

  The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

  Start by:

  Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

  Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

  If you are unable to start;

  Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

  6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

  If this doesn't get you;

  Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

  Backup if possible before proceeding.

  Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

  Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.
