• 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.

• I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP

  Why has been upgraded to El Capitan failed before?

  The only problem is that some applications require the upgrade and some devices that connect to the computer require updated drivers up-to-date. The problem is that for some devices and applications updates are not available and so they do not work with El Capitan.

  You are right 99jon... with open Photoshop, you click on 'Open' and 'Finder' opens in the window with 'Photos' listed. It's all a bit messy, but seems to work. Thanks again for your help. Bi

• 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.

• MacBook Pro 15 inch Mid 2009 running slow

  My MacBookPro began to run more slowly. It was a bit lazy before I upgraded to El Capitan (10.11.14), but it seems that it becomes gradually slower.

  The most affected elements: start-up, open programs and work on the Internet. (In regards to the Internet, I have restarted my modem, checked my speed of suppliers, cleared my cache, etc. I'm waiting for my provider to help me know if there are problems with my service, but it seems that my Internet is being heard more slow as well. I work from home on a website online. Internet delays are causing me considerable problems with my work!)

  By different channels support Apple, I ran EtreCheck and provided the report below. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

  Confusing one, it says that my 8 GB of RAM is expandable. But I don't know why. I have 8 GB of RAM upgraded last year.

  Thank you in advanced for your entry.

  Hello again Tricia_S,

  I see no problem at all in your report to EtreCheck. The 'extensible' indicator simply means that your machine can be extensible. Most recent Macs have no more extensible RAM. These types of downturns are a common complaint. You have an older machine, and they do not work El Capitan, but also a new machine. You can replace your hard drive with an SSD. But other than that machine seems to be running like he's going to run.

• Very slow Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012

  Hello world! I'm not savvy at all, so my apologies if something is not clear in my message below.

  Data sheet:

  MacBook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012)

  OS X Yosemite: Version 10.10.5

  Processor: Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz

  Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Storage: 139.3/499.25 GB in use; 359,95 GB free

  For the last two weeks, my Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid-2012) has been extremely slow. The colorful beachball (aka the wheel of death) often shows up, even when I'm just trying to type something, such as now (I'll have to type really slowly, so it can track). This slowness came very suddenly.

  I tried resetting SMC/NVRAM, repair disk permissions, then by restarting in safe mode, but the problem persists (I also tried to upgrade to El Capitan, but was met with a loop of reboot delicious and recovered my time machine backup again to the recovery mode). I think I can also try to reindex spotlight, but I may or may not succeed.

  I was not able to create a Time Machine backup successfully for the last month, because it gets stuck on "preparing for backup...". "(not sure if this could be related). I also wanted to point out that Dropbox is one of my startup items, but I got it for centuries, and it has never been my Macbook it ridiculously slow. Before this slowness, I would leave it and my Macbook would be back up to speed. I also tried to remove the list of startup items and slowness persists even after rebooting.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  I have seen many people post 'EtreCheck' reports, so here are mine (sorry if I got any irrelevant information - I don't know what all this means):

  When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

  ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

  ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

  ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

  The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

  Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

  RAM	4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
  Storage	HARD DRIVE 250 GB
  OS X	10.10.5 Yosemite

  Hi, I have looked at upgrading my current laptop with some much needed performance boosters, but do not know if in the long run it is worth, or if I should save up for a newer model.

  The updates that I think first to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD 250 GB and secondly to replace my 4 GB of ram and 16 GB. (Officially, State Apple this machine does support 8GB, but it's been verified since it can take up to 16 GB).

  While I know that these two updates should improve the speed and performance of my pretty spectacular machine, roughy wonder how many years my phone will be usable for after the upgrade. The limiting factor main seems to be my processor, which I am aware might be an obstacle in the future. I understand that apple tend to make updates each new OS X only available for latest machines, and I fear that soon, they will be unavailable for Core 2 Duo models. Can anyone confirm this?

  So, I guess my question is, how to limit will be my processor to the duration of life/performance of my mac if I perform the above upgrades?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

  It depends on.

  If you use a lot, I recommend to get a new MacBook. If you use too many, your MacBook Pro will be fine.

• MacBook pro 13 inch mid-2012 with the help of el capitan

  is there anyone with a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012 that the use of el capitan?

  I want to improve my macbook to mavericks in el capitan, but my friend told me not to do. Because she just update its macbook (same model with mine) and it becomes slower than before (yosemite).

  Is there anyone with the same problem? Or maybe another problem after upgrade to el capitan?

  It works perfectly with EC is that you have enough memory. I say that at least 8 GB is necessary. 4 GB is very marginal.

• Question about webcams with Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010

  Bear with me as I am the most fundamental basic Mac users. I am currently using a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 I don't use Skype or FaceTime or something like that. Recently, I joined an online course in which they said I need a webcam, headset and microphone so that I can communicate with my instructor and discussions in class.

  I have really no idea what hardware inside is on my laptop. Is the built in camera something that could be used for this purpose? Or do I need to buy these separately three elements to make this work? And if yes, are you easy to install and can anyone recommend something good, but also low-cost as possible.

  Thanks in advance for your time.

  Your built in FaceTime, camera is sufficient. This is the idea. outdoor cameras are mostly a thing of the past. If the internal webcam is broken, an external is always an option repair vs.

  You may need their proprietary software to connect to their course however

• A Magsafe 85w power adapter would be detrimental to my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010)

  Hi all!

  I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2010, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).

  Well, after years of abuse, the thinner rope (which connects to the Macbook) began to tear. I tried to drag an above shrink wrap to fix and make it last a little longer, but now I find myself stirring the rope around so he can start loading.

  in any case, I found a company after-market on Amazon called Supsun making (link below) and recently purchased a. He said that going to work with my Macbook, but I think not even check what power mine use and after he woke up, I found out mine originally a 60w.

  Will this hurt Magsafe Supsun 85w power adapter my mid 2010 13-inch Macbook in anyway?

  I thank you for all your comments!

  I, personally, look at the price difference and ask myself I'd be sad if I saved money and things did not work well.

• Best case for Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina display

  I was wondering what the best case was for my purchase of a Macbook Pro 13 inch with the retina display. I am a student of the school and will walk to school with her in a compartment of my bag. It might be high everywhere, but he must be not so bulky that I also have school books. Any suggestion?

  If you are specifically looking for a shell, then I recommend the INCASE ones, just go to the apple store and get my things for Mac they have a feeling of fluidity buttered and are pleasant to the touch - as the Apple trackpad - it simply snaps on and snaps off when you want off the coast.  If you are looking for a Holster, I recommend the slim sleeve incase.  It has a soft interior for your mac are not destroyed (its aluminium-what worries you - you did you buy Care, haven't you?) and has a spot for the port of loading.

  I hope this helps!
