I have a base level MacBook Pro I bought new in 2013. It has 4GB of RAM. I was wondering if it would be possible uprade the RAM past the 8 GB limit. I was thinking of somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-16 GB. Will this do any damage? Should I run Time Machine before I attempt an upgrade?

Question for those aluminium MBP users out there!! Oddly, I been using this system for a while now, even in summer it's never really exceed 70?C. Recently I notice my MBP17 (not unibody) has been getting unusually hot, just browsing the web can cause it's temperature to ramp up to and often exceed 80?C!! Room temp 26?C .. and it's getting hotter than it was in summer?? Ain't that odd? Is it time to check the thermal paste again??

I have a Macbook Pro Mid-2009 2.26GHz (10.7.4), and have 4GB RAM (2x2 cards), and at the time I changed it, not long after getting it, I am 99% sure it was only possible to get 4GB, but now Crucial is saying it is possible to get 8GB. I would have just got the max RAM possible, so was wondering if something has changed, (an update or something?) that has made it able to put more RAM in. Or, am I just mistaken completely and it was always 8 and I just missed it!Â

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just got a new AOC i2353 monitor hoping to pair it with my 13' macbook pro(2010 model) via display port to HDMI adapter and HDMI cable directly to the monitor. Howerver, i can't get it to display at maximum resolution it offer(max is 1080i).I can't run any of the drivers and installation softwares came with the it and my macbook pro won't detect the monitor. When i set it to 1080i mode, I see horizontal and vertical disturbances or waving. Also, picture become blurred. However, if i switch it to 1080p, picture become much shaper and no waving. Is there anyway to hard set the native resolution of the display since my macbook pro( Max OS x 10.6.8, 2.4 GHZ core 2 duo and Nvidia GeForce 320M) won't auto dectect my new montior.

I'm trying to figure out how to change the maximum log file setting for my Cisco VPN. I think on a Windows machine you are able to do this:Â
[Instructions for Windows: right-click "Computer" on your desktop, and select "Manage". Expand "Event Viewer" and then "Applications and Services Logs". Right-click on "Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client) and select "Properties. There will be a "Maximum log size" and a "When maximum event log size is reached" option.]Â
I can't seem to figure out how to do this on my Macbook Pro. I'm running 10.7.4Â
Have tried viewing in Console and while i can see the ppp file - there's no way to see maximum file size settings.

I am thinking of getting the mba (or rather the mba 2 hopefully because I wouldn't want any nast core shutdowns and from what I ve been reading apple's awful customer support) and I d like to know one specification that I can't seem to find online. I read somewhere of the "by design" limit of the maximum angle to which the screen can go back wrt the mba's body. I was looking at it in a store and it is rather limited, and as I a used to holding my lappie in a way that requires a somewhat large opening it would great if I could find out exactly what the degrees are. (I usually like to sit on a sofa with legs arched in an upside down V shape and laptop on my lap which requires that the screen be moved further back to get the right constrast - I am sure a lot of people must find this way very comfy).

View 15 Replies View RelatedI have a fan utility that lists 2 fans. The "Left" fan is at 6204 rpm's, temp 81.4C The "Right" fan shows 0rpm's, temp -1C. Is this merely because the sensor is capable of recording two fan speeds or do I really have one malfunctioning fan? (which would explain the high cpu temp, if it applies).
A third sensor, a widget, records the same temp, with Heatsink A 70C and Heatsink B 64C. I realize all three sensors are getting their readings from the same spot; which one do I rely on?
I'm hoping to update my RAM to the maximum allowed by my machine and would like to know how to find out what the upper limit on my machine is. I'm currently using a Blackbook and have listed the System Details below.
Code:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors:1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed:800 MHz
SMC Version (system):1.24f2
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Does anyone know what the upper limit of the machine I have is - or how to find it (is it 4GB or 6GB, not 100% sure. I think its 4GB), the best place to purchase the RAM and most importantly, what to look at when purchasing it. I know so far it's DDR2 667MHz.
It's only been a month&half with my MBP 13". Coconut battery claims my MBP is 3 months old now (obviously manufactured 2 months prior to my purchase). Currently I have 8 cycles. 2 calibrations (one on first day, and one yesterday). It went from 98%-97%. Obviously this isn't a big jump, and I know i'm just being paranoid. I don't understand how people on the forum says after calibration your maximum battery capacity should go up, and it refreshes the system or something. It nearly dropped by a 100... What the hell? How do I make it go up? It's only a month old !! Shouldn't it be at 100% or atleast 99%? Some people on this forum claim that they have over 100%+ after MONTHS of usage...
