I have a 13" Macbook Pro (mid-2010). I know that the RAM can be upgraded by just adding RAM to it. How about other hardwares like processor, harddrive, or battery? Can I upgrade it through Apple?

I want to buy a MacBook Pro (new 2012 model) and am thinking that buying the 13" 750GB 5400-rpm HHD model and then upgrading it to SSD myself will be a far cheaper way to go? Â

I installed Yosemite and now my MacBook Pro (2012) has slowed dramatically. I have two memory slots, total 8GB.

Yeah, I know its probably way too early for me to be asking this question but if I purchase the new MBP (specifically the 15" 2.3 256 SSD) will I (in the future) be able to replace the hard drive with a bigger one? I'm asking because I don't have $3500 to spend on the best optoin available. Some people are suggesting that parts may now be soldered in place to make these laptops so thin. Â
I'm not really expecting an answer today, I'll buy in the next few weeks, but in case anyone feels like cracking open their brand new baby and telling us about it, feel free to share (and post pictures!)Â

Can I upgrade the HDD in the 2012 13" MBP to 750GB 7200 rpm to improve performance?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had it repaired at the mac store and iphoto and imovie are missing, probably along with some other applications. I've tried looking for the install cd for it but I can't find it, now I'm starting to wonder if it even had one. If it doesn't, can I go back to the apple store and have them re-install my programs?

So I just bought my first Mac and I bought it as a open box. When i turned it on the Word was in spanish but everything else in English, and whoever had this laptop before me still has it registered to them (I'm guessing). I need to know how to reset it. I want it to be like i bought it brand new and not have anything that the person before me had on it.

I bought my Mac a little over a month ago and I'm really not impressed with it. I keep seeing the little rainbow wheel all the time. When I try to load a YouTube video the whole machine just stops working and becomes unresponsive for about 4-5 seconds. Also, when flicking between tabs on Safari it intimitantly becomes unresponsive. I don't do any heavy power consuming things on my mac. It's basically just for college and recently all I've been doing is using Safari, Spotify and Bittorent. I don't know what I should do. Whether to take it back to Apple or just deal with it. My old Acer laptop was fine dealing with this sort of stuff so I'm really unsure. I feel quite let down although I am a total apple fanboy. Â

I recently just got a new MacBook Pro and I had my Sims 3 game from when it first came out.However, the game isn't being recognized by the computer. The case shows that the game is compatible with Windows and Mac. I heard if you install to Windows you can't install to Mac right?

I am between two laptops, the MBP 15 with retina display and i7 2.7ghz(third generation) and a dell precission m4600 with 2.7(second generation).Same other specs. 8gb ram, ssd, the difference are the gpu, geforce 650M, and the precission has a quadro2000.I will use windows almost the hole time, cause of CAD, and other win programs. But I will be only using 2d cad drawings mainly, so I believe I dont need a quadro. In addition, I want to be able to play some games, like wow or diablo3.So I will need bootcamp. The performance of windows on bootcamp, will be the same as a windows pc native? I read some issues with the wifi, is it true are there other issues? I believe i will have two partition of 512/2 gb for each OS

I recently purchased a mid-2012 MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.3 GHz, non-retina) and I have been receiving Kernel Panic error messages. The screen goes black with white text in multiple languages warning me to shut down my computer and the computer freezes. I have called Apple customer service multiple times. We tried multiple things, including wipe the hard drive and reinstall OS X Lion, but I still get Kernel Panics. One thing I did notice in the "send to Apple" report is that it mentions Google Chrome. It seems whenever I do get a Kernel Panic I am using Chrome. Here are the applications I have installed (besides the default Apple ones):Coda 2Final Cut Pro XTwitterGoogle Chrome Right now, as suggested by the second Apple associate, I uninstalled Google Chrome, to see if that was the cause. She says that it could be related to that or from a software update (which I doubt considering I have yet to install any updates since I reinstalled Lion).Â
View 14 Replies View RelatedI purchased the Toshiba Dynadock U3 - which ran well with Win 7- hoping there would be drivers for the Mac OS. Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this configuration? If not, then what is the next best configuration where I do not have to keep connecting and disconnecting wires fron my MBA. Just want to connect one wire (e.g. - USB cable) that that's it. Is this wishful thinking?Â

I have been using the same exact setup with the 2011 MBA but the new one won't work with my projector. I have a Acer X1161P 3D-DLP Projector and the proper cables since this has previously been working. I saw that in the first update there was something about external monitors.Â

Upgraded the 750GB Toshiba HD to a 512GB Crucial SSD and wow what a performance difference. I also have a 15" Retina to compare it against and the 13 read/write access if faster than the quad core retina. Sure the quad will be better with alot of simultaneous programs running but one off or two programs the 13 with the HD update outperformed.Â
On the 13" my startup time was 42-45 seconds after the apple logo appeared. Now with the SSD, 8 seconds. The program launching and performance improved 50%+. I would recommend updating to SSD if you are able.Â

There are random black horizontal lines, constantly on the screen.When I leave the setting of 1280x800 (default), the defects disappear, only small distortions, which makes me think that the error can be corrected via software update. As the Lion was on 10.7.3, I upgraded to 10.7.4 to see if improved. But the errors persists.At the end of the video, the lines are most striking, becoming impossible to work.Â

I'm planning to upgrade my 13" MBP from the standard 500 GB HDD to a Crucial m4 SSD. Cause there are 2 versions of this SSD (heights: 7mm and 9,5mm), I wanted to ask which height the standard HDD in the MBP has. Is it possible to plug in a SSD with 9,5mm height or do I need the 7mm version? Â

I have a macbook air 2012 with OSX 10.9.3. Until a few hours ago my mac was working fine. I turned it off and left it on charging for a couple of hours only to find that it had not charged at all. When I turned it on, it says battery not charging. I tried resetting the SMC and it did start charging the battery for a minute but again it stopped.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI went to boot up my MacBook Pro and during the startup it turned itself off. Before I could try to turn it on again, it was rebooting itself and then instantly turned off. This now happens repeatedly, with the boot up sometimes reaching the grey loading screen and sometimes not, but it continuously shuts down and reboots until I hold down the power button for an extended period of time.Â
