Hello Everyone, I was wondering what measures can be taken to prevent failure of the butterfly keys of the newer version macbooks and macbook pros. I wanted to know how long you've maintained your macbook/macbook pro keyboard and what you've done to maintain it! For those of you who have...

So guys I've been having this issue with my Macbook for almost a year and a half now. The thing randomly shuts down when it is not plugged in to a second screen, weirdly enough, it runs for days when I run it using Windows X. I've tried everything - wiping OS and installing new, checking to...

Hi folks, Hoping someone can help me with this. I have a mid-2010 MacPro5,1 6 core Xeon 3.46GHz (64GB RAM) Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 4095MB aftermarket graphics card installed running latest NVIDIA drivers. This is the PC version of the card, so I'm running it with the NVIDIA Web...

Hello, I used to have 2010 white macbook unibody long ago and sold it a few years before. However it was so fun to use it. While surfing on the internet I just saw a guy modding old ibook g3 clamshells, putting an i5 (probably an intel NUC or macbook air logic board). You can find his website...

I have just purchased a Mac Pro 5,1 2010 model currently with 1 x 2.8 quad core processor, currently 8gb ram (will change to 32gb soon) ati radeon hd 5770 1gb graphics card and I'm looking to upgrade it. Now from what I understand having a "flashed" graphics card means I will see boot vs none...

Hey guys I am looking to upgrade my macbook in order to avoid buying a new computer this year. I found a thread that basically answered my questions about SSD and RAM upgrades but i want to know if these are still the best options since it is an old machine, or if there is something new to...

Hi All, This is literally my first post, but have been a lurker for many years! I recently had an opportunity that netted me a free mac pro 5,1 (Mid-2010) and decided to upgrade the !@#$ out of it. I upgraded the CPUs to the 5960s, upgraded the RAM to 32gb, installed USB 3.0 card and (2) PCIe...

My 5,1 Mac Pro only came with one hard drive sled which was fine for a while, but I'm looking to add additional drives. 3,1; 2,1; 1,1 HDD sleds seem to be easier to find and cheaper. Would they fit in my 5,1? They look similar but I'm not sure.

Hi all, So, I didn't see these problems in the first iteration of Sierra. But, the latest edition: 10.12.2 is giving me weird graphic glitches all over the place. See attachment. Is there any way to downgrade to an earlier version of Sierra? Also noticed that the NVideo CUDA panel in...

Hello all, I am in the market for a "new" Macbook Pro for school. I have my eyes set on a 2010 15in anti-glare MBP. Before I purchase it, I was wondering if anyone had the graphics issues that plagued these machines?

This seems like a difficult fix. . . What I am Attempting to accomplish: Use my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010, El Capitan) as a Wifi Hotspot for my Galaxy s5 to connect to (Ethernet in -->Wifi out) My Problem: First, my ethernet connection will not authenticate, though I can browse the...

I have a 2010 Mac Pro 2.66x2 Xeons. I want to upgrade the CPU's in them. I was looking at the W3680 or X5680? The only real difference I've seen was the X series can run at about 10 C higher Mac temp, oh and the fact that a pair of X5680's are twice the price of the W3680. Would I notice any...

Long story short, i need a secondary cheap laptop, 13-15" in size, for web design (1 browser with 5-15 tabs opened, photoshop and illustrator for ads, banners, logos, image touch-ups, generally medium level usage, dreamweaver for some coding). Right now i'm doing my job from this laptop...

Hello everyone, i'm new on this forum and same on "macbooks world", so don't blame me so hard if i'm asking something wrong. First of all, i'm a student and i'm working as a web designer from home which demands the use of 1 browser with 5-15 tabs opened, sometimes even more, photoshop and...

Hi, I did some digging and got a variety of responses, so wondering if anyone can give me any clarity. I have a new to me 2010 Mac Pro. Worked great for the past few weeks I've had it, no issues at all. Today, I opened it up just to show a friend the processor tray, popped it out, popped it...

Hi everyone. So I just installed some memory from OWC. I bought 3 sticks of 8gb RAM for a total of 24gb. However, when I boot up, only 16gb show up (and it also says only 2 dimms are being used as opposed to 3). I used to have 3 4gb DIMMs (total of 12gb) that worked just fine. My specs: Mid...
