MacBook Pro :: Only Support 6GB RAM / Is This A SW Or HW Limitation

Jul 5, 2009

I know all the Late 2008 MBP models--2.4Ghz, 2.53Ghz, and 2.8Ghz--only support 6Gb of DDR3 RAM. Is this a software limitation or a hardware limitation?

Does anyone know a definitive answer to this? Will Snow Leopard be able to address the full 8GB in a 2.4GHz model?

Mac Pro :: Windows 7 Home Premium CPU Limitation

Oct 31, 2009

Just for testing purposes, I installed a spare drive and put Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on my Mac Pro 1.1 last night. All of the advice given here on MacRumors so as to install the 64-bit version and get the AHCI working properly went flawlessly with one exception: Boot Camp doesn't like to restart in OSX from Windows after the AHCI patch. But the big issue is: Windows 7 Home Premium continues Microsoft's policy of not supporting multiple processors on any "Home" variant of Windows. (XP, Vista, 7). Task Manager reports only the two cores of the first CPU and ignores the second. To me this isn't important as I intend to continue using XP Pro for my rare ventures into Windows but is important for Mac Pro users considering purchasing Windows 7. If you wish to use Windows effectively on a multi-CPU Mac Pro, you must obtain the "Professional" or "Ultimate" versions.

MacBook Pro :: Mid 2009 Can Support SATA

Jul 19, 2009

with the new MacBook Pros (13" and 15" only) concerning SATA II and third party drives in many forums, such as the Apple Support forum and the OCZ forum:[URL] [URL]As I understand it, the first mid 2009 MacBook Pros supported SATA I speeds only. After many user complaints, Apple addressed the issue with a firmware update, but it seems the MBPs hardware has a problem with full SATA II speeds since many users reported issues with 3rd party drives after the firmware update.

MacBook Pro :: SSD Let Lack Of TRIM Support ?

Jul 29, 2009

I've spent the best part of the day researching SSD drives, I'm wanting to pop one in my MBP.I've been looking at the OCZ Vertex and also the Intel X-25M Gen 2.I've set my heart on getting the OCZ but after spending a good hour on their forums, it seems that (like all other drives) there isn't a 'wiper' tool available for OSX.Should this affect my decision? No-one knows if Snow Leopard will support TRIM and I don't want to left with a drive that has lost most of it's umph after a few weeks.I don't claim to know all the details of TRIM (I'm a mere-mortal wanting faster performance), so please feel free to put my mind at ease

OS X :: Using Fan Control Program - No Support For MacBook?

Jul 29, 2009

I recently felt that my Macbook started to give out a lot of heat, so I decided to fix the problem. I downloaded the CoreDuoTemp to check my temperature, and it was at 63 degrees celsuis. Then, I downloaded the SMCFanControl, but it said it did not support my comp, so then I downloaded the Fan Control. I successfully installed it, but it shows no sign of the program anywhere on my comp. What do I do to open the program? All I have is the .dmg file. Also, what do I do with the source codes?

MacBook Pro :: Are SSD's Worthwhile Without TRIM Support?

Mar 3, 2010

First post so I apologize for any rules I may be breaking. A lot of discussion on this forum has centered around SSD's and their use. From what I have gathered, the price is quite high, but the speed is impressive. I am going to university next year and am looking for a new laptop. I have used Windows all my life and don't have anything that really requires OSX (graphics applications, etc). However, I like the design of the MBP and want something high quality that will last me 4 years. The SSD's are looking pretty appealing for the sheer speed, but OSX doesn't support TRIM, which could affect future speeds.

Does anyone have any tips for getting higher up into apple for support. I've been trying to get my unibody polycarbonate macbook repaired.

ITunes :: FLAC Support With The New MacBook Pro?

Jun 11, 2012

I also have a $10,000+ stereo system, using a Linn Digital Streamer. My entire music collection is in FLAC, much of it in 24-bit, 192khz. I'd love to buy the new MacBook Pro and use iTunes to manage this collection (as FLAC is the accepted standard for downloadable hi-res music). Unfortunately there STILL isn't FLAC support in iTunes. Looks like I'll have to purchase a Dell XPS instead.

MacBook Pro :: Can't Get 4k Support With Seiki TV Through HDMI

Sep 10, 2014

I purchased a Seiki 39" SE39UY04 from Amazon, and I have a Macbook pro retina with the Intel Iris chipset. When I plug the TV into the HDMI port, the "Best Available" is only 1080p (1920x1080). I can't get anything higher.I am running 10.9.4, and looks like I should be able to get at 24fps the full 4K resolution.Is there a way to force it? I could get an active thunderbolt adapter, but it looks like this should work.

MacBook Air :: 11" MBA Doesn't Support The 64 Bit Kernel?

Nov 13, 2010

I was just playing around with my 11" MBA and found it doesn't seem to support the 64-bit OS X kernel. I tried holding the 6 and 4 keys at bootup then running 'uname -a' in the terminal and it reports I'm still running the 32-bit kernel. I also tried running "sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64" and it reported that the architecture had successfully been changed, but on rebooting I found I was still running the 32 bit kernel.
