MacBook :: 2GB Versus4GB RAM On White
Oct 28, 2010
What would be the advantages of 4GB RAM, i understand the basics of what RAM allows you to do, run more programs, run parallel OS etc. But I would mainly be using a Mac for: iTunes, Pages, Keynote and Safari and a few other basics apps, nothing to strenuous like Video Editing.
So my question is, would i see any real advantages to my system by upgrading to 4GB RAM instead of the standard 2GB, I intend to keep this computer for 3+ years, so would RAM be a factor in maintaining the computers health and functioning?

I've begun to notice a ring, roughly three inches in diameter, in the middle of my Air, Rev C, Screen. It is a white ring, a couple of millimeters thick, that I can see best behind an all white screen, i.e. a blank page of a word processing document.

Anyone seen anything like this before. I can actually see part of it right on the white of the page I am typing in this thread.

When I go to front row, all my video content plays sound, but the picture is just a pure white screen (shows the slider to move chapters, etc., but the screen is just white).
Any ideas for solutions? I did google searches, etc., to no avail. I have a MP (not early 08), which I upgraded the graphics card to a 2600XT, and it's running Leopard.

So my 20" 2.4 Imac crashed on me twice tonight. A box popped up telling me to hold down the restart button for several seconds to restat. The second time I did this it just sits with a white screen and give three loud beeps over and over. Is there a fix for this? Is it my ram? I'm at a loss.

I have a white macbook that does not turn on. The battery still shows a full charge, but pushing the power button does nothing. I have tried to unseat/reseat the battery. Could it be something simple? When you push the power button, no response at all.

I just got off the phone with AppleCare and they are going to replace the bottom and top casings of my white macbook which I purchased in Dec of 2006. The bottom white "casing" is being replaced cause of cracking marks around the back perimeter and they've admitted this is a known issue. They are then replacing the top white casing, you know with the see through "light me up" apple logo due to odd discoloration at certain spots on that casing. The discoloration is an issue Apple has gladly replaced already 2 times for me, oddly enough. but through browsing on the apple site and macrumors, It seems that the new white macbooks are made of plastic...and am therefore guessing the old ones aren't? If this is the case, will my white macbook come looking/feeling different?

Last night i spilled 7up on my Macbook White. I wiped it off and let it dry during the night.
I started it this morning and it booted nice and all keys were working (i think). The problem is that when i type in my password which i know is perfectly correct, it wont log me in. All of the keys are pressable and will leave a dot or * in the passwordbox, but it just wont let me in. The Enter-button leaves a dot aswell i dont think it should but anyways...Dont know what to do! Since i only see dots im not sure if some keys have swapped place or something but arrghhh i dont know what to do?
I dont have a Mac-disc and i have tried the Single User-option but when i try to type the commands there nothing shows up?
Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I have a Macbook Pro late 2010 model and it suddely gets a white screen and the only way to fix it is to restart it. After about an hour of working the white screen comes back. I re-installed snow lepord (not clean install) and that seemed to fix it for about a day but i just got another white screen , any suggestions into fixing this or finding out the cause would be great as the closest apple store is about an hour away and no that accessible. I dont have to be touching the computer for it to do it which makes me think its not the logic board.
Info:
MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 8GB Ram

Hey, my friends white MacBook has a crack on the bottom, I know this is quite common. But he was just wondering what he could do about it. Should he take it to Apple and see what they can do?

So I just got a brand new White MB. I would like to replace the 120 GB 5400 rpm HD with a larger and perhaps faster 3rd party one. I have never done this before and I was wondering if people could warn me of any potential hazards as I pick out a new hard drive. Specifically:
- What are the physical dimensions of the HD for this computer?
- Can I put a 7200 rpm one in? Will this cause hazardous overheating? Can my computer handle it?
I have seen some great deals on 320 GB and 500 GB 7200 rpm HDs on Newegg. I just want to make sure they will work with my computer. Any specific models people can recommend?

This morning I noticed a soft white spot on the lower left corner of my Macbook. It's not a dead pixel. I've seen those before and this is different. This spot only shows up as a light spot when the screen has a light background. On a darker screen it totally disappears. The spot is a few mm in size and. I've examined the top of the LCD case and it's smooth. The Macbook has not been dropped in anyway.

Which should I get, what's the difference? I am using it as a normal user, nothing fancy. What I am worried about is the screen, I heard LED backlight makes a huge difference. But the price jump is really steep, enough for 1 month's rent where I am from.

I got a new hard drive on my macbook and installed snow leopard on it in my friend's house. When I went home I tried to install new RAM I got, which was 2x1GB Corsair DDR2 667MHZ 200pin. My macbook is late 2006 model and according to apple the macbook has 2GB ram limit. Then I try to turn it on but nothing happens no sound, no light, nothing.

I'm somewhat new to the Mac world and have found my first huge issue that I don't know how to fix. I was recently changing a theme using Magnifique and since doing it have lost access to everything. Nothing will open, if I try I get an "app name quit unexpectedly" dialog box. I have no menu bar, no HDD icons, I am unable to open a finder window or any other applications. I'm completely lost as to what I'm supposed to do.

I bought a MacBook Pro Unibody a month ago. I had the stock 250GB HDD inside of it. I replaced it with a 320GB WD HDD. The screen was white after powering on, and wouldn't get past that stage. I put it inside an external enclosure and strangely it booted up and allowed me to install Snow Leopard. I took it to the shop and they said the hard drive was faulty ?!? so I'm looking at it now and it's working cause i'm writing this post now.
The question I have is in regards to returning to the store tomorrow. Should I leave the inside of the Mac hard drive less and carry the hard drive with me in the enclosure tomorrow? Or should I leave the hard drive inside the computer and then have them open it up and diagnose the drive? I am looking for the quickest way possible. I wasn't sure how apple would look if I brought the computer in without the drive... I just want to show them how crap of a job they did and show them the drive works fine.

- On the current white Macbook, how can you choose whether the "user selectable" audio jack works as an audio-in or an audio out?
- If you get the right adaptor, could you use the audio-in and audio-out simultaneously?
- I presume the audio-out is stereo, not mono. But is the audio-in stereo or mono?

I have a two and a half year old mac book. It's not booting further than a white screen.
What has happened I think is that it was run flat. I have though charged the batteries up to two green lights on the battery.
It's making hard drive noises but sits on the white screen.
Any ideas. This is my main work machine and I rely on it.

I have base line White Macbook (The cheapest one) which is 32 month old now. My sister bought her Macbook when the nVidia graphic chip was available for non-unibody Polycarbonate Macbook. Well, I asked her if I can trade only the HD so that I can get the graphic card and RAM that she barely uses (no gamings), so I was wondering, should I swap HD or buy the new one? Buying new one costs $999 and swapping costs $0.

I love my MBP but the white burnout spots are now back. I had apple replace the logic board and parts last year after giving them hell customer service wise and went through the processes to get it done via the executive customer service lines. Props to them and it was working perfectly when I got it back.
Now noticing the white spots are back and more noticeable on the MBP. Want a new one but $2500 is spendy right now. Any tech experts or macbook pro repair experts know what causes this or if it's a workable repair?

My wife just got a refurb Macbook today and I noticed that the charger for my MBP and her MB are different wattages. If they are reversed will they do any damage? I suspect that putting the MB charger on the MBP won't but I am afraid the reverse may.
