MacBook Pro :: Installing A New Memory Module Kit?
Feb 25, 2012
I have tried to install a new memory module kit just like the genius bar at Apple store told me to do, and when I turn the macbook pro back on it makes a loud buzzing sound and will not turn on.
how i could retreive the data from my 11" air 64gb flash storage module, the main unit was damaged but the memory module was retured by the insurace company and I need to get the pictures of the childern off it can any one help.
Info: MacBook Air (11-inch Late 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
I have a mid-2007 intel-based imac and am trying to install new memory modules. However, I am having trouble removing the one installed originally. I pulled the tab but that does not work.
Intel's reference documentation of Core i7 indicates that Core i7 does support 1GB/2GB/4GB memory module. Apple does not provide any 4GB memory module option for Quad-Core. Will the Quad-Core support 4GB memory module, or even 8GB?
since I installed OSX Lion, I've noticed my Active memory has been very high, Infact, currently with nothing but 1 tab of google chrome and activity monitor running, my macbook is currently has 50% active, 25% wired, 22% inactive, and 3% Free.It remains this way even when I try to do resource intense stuff like photo editing or games, or document editing. This is quite a problem since my Macbook only has 2 gb of ram, and games such as minecraft and photoediting need more than the 25% of active/free ram.Since installing Lion, 3 weeks ago, i've noticed my computer running more, getting hotter(and faster fan speeds when it does), and many more active running processes. So, I am wondering, if there is anything I can do to lower the active ram and if there is anything I can do to make it more usable for my needs(without downgrading to snowleopard)
Info: MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3), aluminum macbook 2gb ram
I have an older Mac Mini that came with 1GB RAM. Is it possible to take it to an Apple store and have them add an extra 1 GB? I can't upgrade to Lion without it.
Info: Mac Mini 2009, Mac OS X (10.0.x), First Mac in June 20, 2009
My iMac is old. 2003 runs lepoard and 85 gig and I gig memory. Problem is can't find finder ( where's finder) turned off and on to no avail hard drive is 95% full also use Iomega 450 gig portable hd!
After installing 2 Corsair 4GB memory sticks (for a total of 12GB) my less than a year old IMac (mid-2011) started crashing like crazy. Everything indicated that they were installed properly, ie, About this Mac, Activity Monitor, etc...
As soon as I opened up any application or even a single browser window--CRASH.
What is the minimal configuration (operating system and memory) for installing iTunes 10.x on a G4 eMac?It already runs on Tiger 10.4.11 with 718MB of RAM.
Just thinking down the road, so please bear with me. Regarding adding a HD and possibly ram at a later date. I have a couple questions...1.) If adding or replacing in the first year, will that void your warranty??2.) How is the ram module configured on a MacBook pro?? If it cam with 4 GB then can I just add a 4 GB card or do you have to get a straight 8 GB card??3.) If upgrading to a bigger HD, can you just do a backup restore or do you have to totally reinstall from the scratch??
Having heaps of trouble seems my mac book pro does not blue tooth capabilities . Ive tried down loading software to no avail. Tells me there is no blue tooth module installed. Is this something in can install or do i need to buy an external USB Bluetooth devise to enable functionality?
I have a 2011 macbook pro and I heard that handoff only works on bluetooth 4.0. I have no interest in using a dongle, so I wondered if i could jut replace the bluetooth module in my computer.
Recently I up/downgraded from a 2010 17" Macbook Pro to a 2011 15" Macbook Pro. I had previously swapped the old hard drive in the 17" to an SSD using the OWC data doubler kit. Now that I moved on to the 15", I wanted to move my SSD over to the new Macbook Pro.
During the process opening the new MacBook and unscrewing a two of the screws around the optical drive, both of the screws became stripped on the module the covers the optical drive. I have to be honest and say that they are pretty badly striped at this point. I've read a handful of articles online with many different possible solutions on removing the stripped screw, but none of which seem to work nor do I want to cause any further or possible permanent damage, I do have AppleCare on the machine, but I wasn't sure if modifications and upgrades such as this where covered.
I just purchased a new iMac (2.66 c2d & 4gb of ram), Parallels 4, and Windows XP. I would like to get great performance whenever I use Windows XP and would like to know which installation procedure would help accomplish that.
Would Parallels provide me with a better user experience by installing Windows directly via Parallels OR by having Parallels utilizing a Boot Camp Partition? Which is better and why? Also, how much memory should I allocate to Parallels/Windows XP?
I have a Black MacBook (Early 2008). I think that I still have the factory standard RAM sticks (I bought the Mac used from a friend). I noticed today that I am running on only one gig of RAM even though I have two gigs of memory.
I plan on buying more ram soon. my mac pro 2010 quad 2.8 came with 1066 ram but I am buying 1333 ram (hex core in future) 4GB models. I know that my new ram will be reduced to 1066 but will the new ram be able to coexist with the old 1GB modules?
I installed 8 x 4Gb RAM in my Mac Pro (2.2.4GHz Quad-core Intel xeon). When I check, slot 8 shows up as empty and that I only have 28 Gb of RAm and not 32. Can I leave things alone and run it on 28Gb of RAM or should I remove the defective module in slot 8 as well as the RAM in Slot 4 to balance it? Alternatively I have 2 x 1 Gb RAm modules I could put in slot 4 and 8.
When I installed it, system profiler keeps saying it's 256. I have a 128 and 2 64's in there. In the 4th slot I put the 512. I tried just putting it in (to make just 512) and it still said.
What is weird is that when it only had the 512 stick in there, it seemed faster then with just the other 3 sticks. Is it just saying the wrong number?
I turned my MacBook 2.4 unibody on when i got home from work today to find that my bluetooth mouse and keyboard wouldn't work. I opened up system preferences to find that no bluetooth menu was there. I looked in spotlight and tried to connect a bluetooth device only to get a message telling me I had no bluetooth module installed I have no idea what happened, only 10 hours ago it was working fine.
I have MacPro1,1 and thinking of installing MA687ZM/A bluetooth module. My question is what profiles does it support? Does it support A2DP and AVRCP profiles?
I have had my Mac Pro for a few years now, and I rewired the bluetooth module when I first got it. I then had Airport installed about 3 months ago, and had to rewire it again because the "geniuses" at Apple didn't know the wires were labeled incorrectly. I just moved my computer downstairs and my Apple Bluetooth keyboard is not working correctly. It lags, repeats letters, etc. Upstairs on one desk, it worked fine. Down here, on a different desk, It's acting up. My keyboard is on the left middle of the desk, and the computer is on the floor on the right side. Total distance is less than three feet, with a file drawer inbetween. It works if I put it in my lap, but not on the desk. I just opened it up to check the wires again, and they are tight, and right.
