• Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

  Hi all

  I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

  Thank you!

  The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

  If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

• iPhone 6 s 4 K video on iMac MacBook Pro 2010/2011

  If I take 4K video on my iPhone 6s and import it on my iMac MacBook Pro 2010/2011 will be playing the video and watch as she lets say a new iMac 4 / 5K?  iMovie and final cut PRO supports 4K video for editing right?

  It will look like at its native resolution. On your Mac, the displayed video will be reduced as a result of your visible area onscreen.  That does not mean the video will look terrible, but not so good that it would have on the 4 k or 5 k.

• NO SOUND - Windows 7 on MacBook Pro

  I have no sound from my speakers or audio mini plug, but I get audio through my HDMI to my TV adapter.

  I just had Apple Genius Bar install Bootcamp with a 40 GB Partition. Then I did a standard installation of Windows 7 Home Premium w / SP1, 64-bit. I then completed all Windows updates until he finally said I was updated.

  Then I installed Total Defence award-winning Internet Security (Firewall, virus/malware protection, etc.)

  Here's my spec Info:

  MacBook Pro 7.1 (mid-2010) 13 "

  Mac OS is OS X 10.8.5

  CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M

  SATA/SATA Express: NVidia MCP89 AHC1

  RAM: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  HD: Hitachi disk SATA HTS545032B9SA02

  My audio drivers are: high definition Audio Device & NVIDIA High Definition Audio

  Solving problems is already done:

  A ran the Windows Audio troubleshooting tool, which found nothing wrong

  I have no error message or an exclamation for devices

  I tried to update the drivers. The system registered initially 4 drivers: 2 each high definition Audio Device and 2 each NVIDIA High Definition Audio. Two of the NVIDIA drivers said they were up-to-date, one of the drivers updated to the NVIDIA drivers and the other driver Def high high definition Audio Device did not update. I now seem to have 3 drivers NVIDIA High Definition Audio and 1 high definition Audio Device driver.

  Thanks for your help in advance! I'm a computer guy a little basic level, any help is greatly appreciated!

  I FOUND THE SOLUTION!

  1. go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US

  2. go to halfway to the bottom of this page and select the computer on which you have. For me it was the MacBook Pro.

  3. click on the link that identifies your computer and a grid opens that displays the different Mac models and operating systems. The grid will determine what version of Bootcamp your computer needs.

  4. click the version within the grid link and it takes you to the appropriate download page.

  5. download the bootcamp on a FAT32 formatted the flash drive, then expand all files.

  6. open the main folder, then the folder drivers and find the right driver for your sound and reinstall. For me, it was the record of Cirrus. There was a 32-bit and 64-bit. I reinstalled 64 bit and then tested my sound and it works!

  I'm not really a computer guy, but I just kept trying different options and it is the one that worked for me. I hope it will work for you! I think that the steps listed above are accurate, but they could be just a touch off or something. I don't want to reproduce the entire sequence by fear to play something else.

  Good luck!

• can I add a 16 GB of ram for my macbook pro 2010 Middle

  I was wondering if I could add 16 GB of ram for my MacBook Pro.  It is a mid-2010 model.

  Choose about this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.

  If it's a Core 2 Duo Mac, click here.

  If it's an i5 or i7 Mac, no.

• Windows 10 on Macbook Pro

  I have a 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro. I installed a windows 10 downloaded iso file and a usb port. Bootcamp won't let me install it if, advice?

  A Mac 2011 does not officially support Apple for W10, then you will encounter problems of pilot. Your 2011 model has a built-in optical drive. Boot USB causes problems on these models (2012 Mac are an exception). Your W10 64 bit ISO burn to a DVD and physical BC Assistant allows you to install Windows. Do not use a combined 32-bit/64-bti Installer ISO.

• MacBook pro 2010 fresh only when off...

  I have a macbook pro mid-2010 and only the cool when turned off. Turned on, the green light stops and off, green / yellow begins.

  This isn't a problem... But when the power is connected, the power source said only battery, no charger.

  I tried another charger, same result, reset the SMC, PRAM.

  What I would like is that it only works on power, not battery.

• MacBook Pro 2010 does not recognize the (formatted) SSD

  Hello

  I saw a lot of topics on it and did some background reading. But in short, a 13 "middle MBP 2010 is simply show folder-question mark icon when starting after having inserted a 850 EVO Samsung newly formatted (option + cmd + r to try to start internet recovery mode and do a clean install of holding).

  I tried to solve problems using other my Macbook Pro (a model 15 mid-2010 ")-Exchange the SSD back between the two machines, and I get different behavior which is what is so confusing.

  The steps I have taken to date include:

  -Insert the (unformatted) SSD in 13 "MBP. Hold down cmd + option + r download icon question mark.

  -Insert the (unformatted) SSD in MBP 15 ". Hold down cmd + option + r. get starts in the recovery of the internet where I could format the drive!

  -Replace the (newly formatted) SSD in 13 ". Hold down cmd + option + r. Yet once the icon question mark.

  To make sure that I was not screw up internals I put the old hard drive back in 13 "and he started very well. It's a relief at least.

  So I'm at this stage. Someone please correct me if my reasoning is wrong...

  -He's not the SSD because my model 15 "it recognizes and plays well.

  -It has No internal features of the computer, because it always starts on the old HD when I reinserted it.

  -He could be the SATA cable. (I tried to change place than my 15 "model, but the orientation is different and I didn't take the risk of rupture of the cable).

  -It could be a PEBKAC

  In the meantime I'll install a clean version on the operating system on the new drive while it is in the MBP 15 "work. Then, I'll try once more. But I don't hold any hope as the 13 "MBP doesn't recognize the SSD when would be the model 15".

  This is the model 13 '

  Thisis the model 15 "

  Any help at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  You probably replace the SATA cable in the MBP 13 ".  This phenomenon has been reported several times on these forums.  An SSD will start the MBP externally but not internally, and the original HARD drive will start the MBP even internally.  A new SATA cable solved the problem.

  I do not offer a 100% guarantee, but I suspect that the chances are good.

  Ciao.

• Problem using Bootcamp to install Windows 8.1 MacBook Pro

  Hello

  I have a MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) running OS X El Capitan v10.11.1. About two years ago, I installed Windows 8.1 using boot camp with no problems. Since then, I upgraded HDD from the laptop of the original 500 GB SSD to a Transcend JetDrive 725 960 GB SATA III. Note, this is the only upgrade material I have made to the computer. Following this hardware upgrade that I decided to only restore my Macintosh HD, or unfortunately I will not restore the Bootcamp partition.

  I am now trying to install Windows 8.1 using training camp again, but unfortunately a few problems that prevent quick installation, I've experienced in the past. I have read this problem a lot but have not found a solution that works for me. Here are the steps that I've repeated several times:

  -Download an ISO of 64 bit Windows 8.1 since: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows8ISO.

  -Connect Force SanDisk Cruzer 8 GB USB 2.0 support

  -run Assistant Boot Camp

  -check all the tasks and continue

  -create a 60 GB partition

  -computer restarts automatically, and a windows setup screen

  -Enter the serial number of the product

  -Select installation upgrade, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/t7wy0siod/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_23.jpg

  -PROBLEM: I am told that the installation cannot complete, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/day642qa5/Photo_07_12_2015_12_16_31.jpg

  I repeated this a few times with several USB 2.0 flash drives, but with the same results. I also tried selecting ' Custom: install Windows only (Advanced) ", but the next screen does not allow installation on the bootcamp partition, see here: http://s20.postimg.org/3mkq0xvgt/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_09.jpgand here: http://s20.postimg.org/5pv58lv9p/Photo_07_12_2015_12_15_00.jpg "

  I would be grateful if someone could please help with this problem.

  Thank you

  Al

  It is the expected behavior. OS X does not have a license for the creation of NTFS. It creates a FAT partition. After the error, select the Format for only the partition named Bootcamp (do not use another partition) and let the installer to format it to NTFS and continue the installation.

  Upgrade will not work, because there is no previous installation of Windows to upgrade. You see the error message is correct.
