MacBook Air :: Does Low Ram Matter With SSD?
Dec 30, 2010When you run out of ram, it starts to use the hard drive, right? But isn't SSD the same thing as ram? If I got the 2gb MBA AND I used more than 2GB would it really make a difference?
View 24 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Does It Matter What Brand Of RAM Put In My System
Jun 26, 2009I was reading in the manual that you can only get 2 4 and 8 GB RAM at a time which is true. I'm thinking about upgrading my MBP to 8 GIGS eventually or 6GB for the time being. Is there a specific brand you would recommed? Will brands effect how effective it will be when installed to a MBP?

Apr 18, 2012My MacBook Pro is just under a year old.I don't do a lot of strenuous stuff... just internet, iWork documents, Sims 3, etc.The battery has been fine up until now, but on two seperate occasions it has completely drained in a matter of minutes.On the first occasion I left the MacBook open on my desk.No applications were open, just the desktop. Battery was at 98% after a full night's charge.I come back an hour later to find the computer completely unresponsive until I plug in the charger chord.It had completely drained.On the second occasion I was at 52% battery.I loaded up The Sims 3 and went to take a shower, planning to play when I got out.When I get out of the shower TEN MINUTES later, the computer was dead... once again completely drained.I know the game is a total battery hog, but I can usually get about an hour of gameplay with 52% battery.

Hardware :: In What Ways Does Size Matter With Ghz, GB Ram And GB Hard Disc?
Jul 16, 2009I'm afraid this reveals really basic ignorance on my part but can someone please tell me what aspect of a computer's performance is affected by having more or less Ghz, more or less GB of Ram or more or less GB of hard disc memory? For instance, if a choice must be made is it better to have more Ghz or more memory (and if the latter, more Ram or more on the hard disc?) As a concrete example, I have recently acquired an iBook with 1.2 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM and a 30GB hard disc. I intend to use it mainly for web browsing, email and word processing. I undersatnd that the Ghz and RAM cannot be increased but I could have the hard disc upgraded to say 160GB. But what would be the effect on performance, and would it be worthwhile?

View 8 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Airport Connection/Sleep Versus Sleep Display?
Apr 9, 2008I leave my Air on pretty much all the time, and put it to sleep while moving around etc. Sleeping it disconnect the Airport connection - which if very annoying. At a desk I've just been dimming the display all the way off in order to keep my connection.
However, I recently noticed that by setting a "sleep display" hot corner, my network connection is maintained.
I have 2 questions:
1) Is sleep display equivalent (functionally) to simply dimming the display all the way down?
2) Is there a way to either set up a shortcut to sleep the display (other than a hot corner) and/or set it so that only the DISPLAY sleeps after 'x' minutes?
MacBook Pro :: Sleep Light Doesn't Blink When MBP Left To Sleep?
Oct 10, 2009I set the MBP to sleep in 10 min through the Energy Saver pref with the option to sleep the hdds. When it's about to sleep the screen dims, then turns black, then the sleep light comes on but does not blink no matter how long I leave it. The blinking only happens when I close the lid or when I select the Sleep option under the Apple logo. Is that normal behavior?

Dec 11, 2014 I have a macbook pro 13" early 2011 and I'm se as shown in the pictures (since i upgraded to os x yosemite) . It happens after display sleep or computer sleep on login not on boot up .I've noticed that i run out of ram when the problem appears (only 15MB RAM available out of 4GB), though i doesn't happen every time . I've talked to service and told me its either motherboard replacement or because the ram isn't enough (gpu shares with main ram) so maybe i should try upgrading ram. URL....

Jul 12, 2009I have torrents going all the time. If the computer goes to sleep, the internet disconnects, so they stop. Display sleep wouldn't disconnect though. Is it OK to have computer sleep on "never" but keep display on "15 minutes"? I don't usually even leave the computer on overnight.

MacBook Pro :: Goes Into Safe Sleep Instead Of (standard) Sleep
Sep 7, 2014Recently I've started connecting my 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (pre-unibody) Macbook Pro 17" to an external monitor (via DVI).
Since then my computer goes into Safe Sleep instead of Sleep (it's plugged into power).
This is an annoyance I'd rather avoid because even if all programs relaunch:I have to wait for them to launch (longer)Programs like Excel seem to have been quit in an unorthodox fashion: when it starts back up I get an error notice that it was shutdown inappropriately & the doc which reopens is a rescued version of the doc I had open before the safe sleep.

Feb 12, 2009so I've had this issue for a couple of weeks, hadn't really bothered me until recently though. My Macbook isn't going to sleep. I've had it to go to sleep in 15 mins. of inactivity but I've noticed when I am away for a while and comeback only the display is off. I logged out and tried it on my "Troubleshooting" account which has everything at the default settings came back an hour later and it wasn't asleep. Right now I changed the sleep time to one minute and only the display shut off. I don't have any background apps running (that I am aware of) the only thing I could think of is bowtie but I quit that before I tried sleeping it right now.

This means it isnt triggerd to go to sleep when the MB closes.I have to manually push the sleep button and then it works well, except for me forgetting it all the time, which leaves me with an empty MB I've set the configurations to auto sleep ater 5 minutens, but that doesnt seem to help either. Installed snow leopard after leopard, no difference. Deleted the sleep prefrences, doesnt help either.so anyone has an idea of what to do? Some kind of script...?

OS X :: How To Permanently Disable Safe Sleep & Sleep Image File Creation?
May 21, 2009In tiger you could easily disable safe sleep and remove the sleep image file but in Leopard this seems to have changed. Yes you can disable safe sleep & remove sleep image files but only temporarily. As soon as you restart or change energy settings back to default, leopard automatically reverts the safe sleep settings to default and starts creating an image file again
Is there no way to permanently disable/remove these?
