MacBook Pro :: 2011 Cursor Freeze Waking Up Since Upgrading To Lion?
Mar 28, 2012Last week I upgraded my 2011 MacBook Pro (purchased July 2011) to 10.7.3. Now when I lift the lid to wake up the computer there is a several second lag time before the cursor can move. Under 10.6.8 the computer woke up instantly and the cursor was ready to use immediately. Is this a Lion bug and is there any work around, since I find this delay annoying? Not annoying enough to revert back to Snow Leopard, but I really liked how fast this computer is and don't appreciate Lion slowing down its wake up time. Nothing else seems slow since the upgrade, in fact applications seem to be opening even faster.

Mac Mini :: Connecting A 2011 Mini To A 2011 IMac Via Thunderbold To Use IMacs Display
Jun 16, 2012I've just ordered an i5 Mac Mini and while it's destined to be used as a media-centre/ streamer connected to my TV via HDMI, initially I want to hook it up to the display on my 2011 iMac. Can one of you clever bods point me in the direction of what cable I need, and also what do I need to do to the iMac to make it behave as just a monitor? Is it just a matter of plugging in the cables and off I go?

Jan 9, 2011i am going to upgrade the ram and hard drive in my mbp, and i just have a couple questions. I'm sure there are some other topics about this, but i could not find any.
First i have Microsoft Office 2011 installed, and if i just take out the HDD and install the new one and put MAC OSX on it how would i be able to transfer over my Microsoft Office so i don't lose it and have to buy it again.
Also, should i put in the new ram, let it load up and read the new ram, then install the hard drive, or do it the other way, or just do both at the same time?

MacBook Pro :: Upgrading RAM From 4GB To 6GB
Aug 19, 2010My current setup:
Early 2008 MacBook Pro
2.5 Ghz C2D
10.6.4 and Windows XP (Bootcamp/Parallels)
4GB RAM
I've read that I can bump my RAM up to 6GB (despite Apple's said 4GB limit) and with a current sale, I can get a 4GB module pretty cheap so I'm thinking "why not?". I'm planning on installing Windows 7 as well as playing more games on my laptop (my PS3 broke down on me). Would I realize any noticeable performance difference with the extra RAM in Windows 7 and/or OSX?
MacBook :: Upgrading Ram 3 Or 4 Gb?
Mar 19, 2012I am upgrading my RAM to 4 gb. I have a mid-2007 Macbook that came with 2 1gb memory modules factory installed. My question is, will it expand to 3 or 4 gb? According to Wiki, the late-2007 Macbook came with 2 1gb installed, expandable to 4, but does not list a mid-2007 that was installed with 2 1g modules, just 1gb (512mb). Becasue of this, I am unsure what it will actually expand to.

Jun 8, 2009Does anyone think that by Apple upgrading the Uni Macbooks to the Pro line, they have just created the space for the tablet to slot into? Before the WWDC keynote, people were wondering where Apple could place a tablet in their line-up but now maybe they've created a slot! Wat u think?? Theres rumors of Steve coming back at the end of the month with a media event. Could it be the tablet? Maybe not, but I definitely think that the tablet will be coming now cause of wat happened today!

Sep 16, 2009I think I am gonna buy my MacBook Pro 13" in the coming weeks. It will be the 2.5Ghz model... I see that its cheaper, if I upgrade the HDD myself. As for Desktop HDD, I normally buy Seagate or Samsung. Do they also make good 2,5" HDD or should I get something else? (Looking for 500GB) I've also heard good things about "WD Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT".
And can I use a 500GB 7200rpm drive with the 13" model(heat problems)? because apple only gives you the option to choose between 5400rpm HDD... 5400rpm is fine for me, but just wanna know. Last question, do you guys think Apple will make any kind of updates before next year? This will be my first Apple notebook.

MacBook Pro :: Error In Upgrading RAM To 8GB
Apr 17, 2012I've been trying to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB from the 4 GB on my MacBook Pro Model 7,1, late 2010. My 4 GB runs smoothly; I can get 6 GB to run smoothly, switching 4 GB PNY to banks 0 or 1 without a problem. All memory tests good in either bank. When both 4 GB RAM modules are inserted, the MacBook Pro hangs a few seconds after the gear starts turning on start-up.
I have now tried two pair of 4 GB RAM modules. Same results every time. I am running all the OS updates from Apple using OS 10.6.8. I am now running 6 GB RAM without a hitch. How to get both 4 GB RAM modules to work together so that I'll have the advantages of the full 8 GBytes?

MacBook Pro :: Upgrading From 8 To 16GB Of RAM
Jun 12, 2012I ordered a retina MacBook Pro base model. I figured I'd only need 8GB but then after I cast my order into the depths of Apple, I was thinking I should have got the 16GB upgrade. But on one hand, I was wondering if the RAM is user-replaceable or do they solder it on the boards now? I can buy another 8GB stick from a 3rd party.

Aug 26, 2010I just went to the Apple store, and my friend (actually she is older than I am, like 15 years in difference. Just got friendly, so I call her 'friend') suggested me 100$ for 4GB upgrade. She told me that it's not possible to upgrade the RAM after the payment, but she is able to do it for me.
I'm always paranoid wether the Apple employees will give me the 'older' RAMs or 'used' ones. Should I be? or just trust the employee who will swap it for me.
If I have a choice, I would like to install the new RAM for myself.
MacBook Pro :: Important Things To Know When Upgrading RAM
Aug 29, 2010I have the late 2008 MBP which has only 2gb of ram. I'm planning on upgrading the ram. With this, I'm just wondering if there is anything one has to know when doing this. Considering that I boot on both windows (bootcamp) and osx, would the ram be recognized immediately? Or do i have to install or do something first before it does. Is it more advisable to reformat the whole computer? Maybe because of some performance issues.
