MacBook Pro :: Can I Increase The Ram?
Jul 29, 2010I have a 2007 MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of Ram (1x1) and recently upgraded the operating system to 10.5.8.
The problem is that the computer has slowed down considerably especially since I also installed CS5.
I'm thinkin that it is a ram problem and need to upgrade but through my research it states that my computer won't take anymore ram which is unbelievable. Can I install more ram or do something else to make it faster?

MacBook :: How To Increase Saturation
Jun 6, 2009I recently bought a new white Macbook and after 2 years of acclimating to my beautiful 24" iMac's screen, I feel like the Macbook needs more saturation. I've played with the color profile many times and I've compared it to the iMac while doing this and can't match it no matter what I do. Does anyone know how I can increase the saturation on my Macbook to better match my iMac?

Any other suggestions of SSDs near or under $200 would be nice.

MacBook Pro :: Can Battery Capacity Increase From What It Was?
Sep 22, 2010I used an app on my MBP called Coconut battery. it said that my current battery capacity was 94% of what it was since I bought it. I assumed that means those 6% are never coming back and I should start using it more responsibly to make it last longer. I read a lot of forums on how to use your notebook effectively, when to plug it in, how much I should let it discharge etc. After 2 weeks of my new habits, I checked my battery life again and now it says 96%. Is it even possible for it to go back up?

MacBook :: Pro Slow To Increase Fan Speed / Set It To Do?
Jan 15, 2010I have a base model June 09 13" Macbook Pro running 10.6.2, during normal use CPU temp. is fine, lower than my previous Macbook 07 edition. However, when I use handbrake, the temp spikes very quickly, I know this is normal as the processsors are being used at 100%. However, unlike my old Macbook, the fan takes a long time to spin up to counter the increase in CPU temp. I see 101 degrees centigrade and the fans are still at 2000rpm. After a few minutes they react and slowly increase to maximum. I am not comfortable with this temp, my old Macbok used to only get to 85 degrees centigrade. I have read about SMC fan control, is there a way to set this so that it increases the fan speed at lower temps without having a detrimental effect on battery life.

MacBook Pro :: How Do Increase Battery Life
Apr 19, 2010I have a question with regards to behavior that can either extend or diminish the overall life of a laptop battery. My friend recently purchased a new laptop (sony vaio) at a local Microcenter. The salesman was very insistent upon lecturing my friend as to the proper way to take care of a laptop. One of things he mentioned was to never move the computer while it is on, and to always close the lid before engaging in any sort of extensive moving (due to hard drive? processor? any verification on this?). Another thing that was very insistent upon was to always let the battery deplete from full to near empty on every charging cycle, and only charge the computer when replenishing it back to full. He claimed that this would dramatically increase the overall life of the battery.
My specific question relates to the MBP and this battery concept.
1) In general, can anyone verify this / does anyone believe that it would make a significant difference?
2) I remember watching one of those apple videos on the apple website where they were talking about their new battery technology, and they mentioned something about a chip that regulates the power distribution to the battery cells, thus preventing over charging, or something along those lines. Would this negate the advice given by the friendy salesman at Microcenter?
MacBook Pro :: 3.06Ghz C2d Will Increase Performance?
Jun 15, 2010So I got an iPad and have been thinking more and more that I don't need the portability of the MBP anymore. Truth is I have not really used the Macbook as a laptop in months. My usage is primarily Internet, word processing, and photography so I really think I can benefit from the added screen size and potentially power of a 27 inch iMac. So my question is:
1) do you think the latest 3.06GHz C2D will be a performance increase from my current MBP for Aperture 3 or should I just spend the extra for the 2.66 i5?

MacBook Pro :: Will 16GB Of RAM Really Increase Speed
May 13, 2012I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM installed - I bought the Corsair memory from Amazon for under $50 and installed it myself. Amazon now has a 16GB kit fro Corsair for only $100 - the least expensive price I've found. The only RAM intensive app I really run is Photoshop CS6,but I do keep a lot of apps open at one time (Acrobat Pro X, Outlook, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Word, Parallels running XP, iTunes at the moment) and I was wondering if the extra RAM would actually help me out. I'm looking for some advice from people who have already upgraded to 16 GB... can you actually tell a difference?

Jun 11, 2010I got my i5 15 incher when they came out and like many people was disappointed by the battery life. It was decent though and I said hey, 6 hours is great! Recently though I've been getting 3 and my usage hasn't changed at all. I mostly use my computer for chrome (rarely flash), mail, and itunes.
I called Apple and the guy I spoke with wasn't the most knowledgeable person but he suggested that I reset the System Management Controller. I did that and now it looks like I'm getting 5-6 hours again! Hooray lol.
Anyway I had to register and tell you guys. I hope this helps people out.
