mbp

Hi all. The ssd failed in my Mac and I went to have it replaced. To cut a long story short I no longer have the ssd therefore don't have the part number etc to replace it myself. It's a late 2013 mbp retina 15. After my research I've found 655-1838 is the ssd I need although I'm quite...

Hi all. Getting a new computer for college. I'm coming from a 2011 MBP, and I find it just about powerful enough for most things I do - a bit of coding on Xcode, some music-making on Logic, otherwise just word processing and web browsing (usually with too many tabs...). It's starting to get a...

I'm updating a friend's mbp (mid 2009) and wondering what would be the cheapest ssd in range of 500G or a little less, that fits to mbp5,5? Any trim problems with some ssd? The mbp won't be used to do any heavy work, but fast boot times, better battery life and quicker overall usage would be...

I've got a MBP (2015) and am looking to purchase the Dell UltraSharp U3415W. I still don't really understand how all of the different connections interact. What's the most efficient way (i.e. least amount of cords and adapters) to make sure that a) my MBP is connected to the monitor b) is...

Hello! I'm curious about possibility of putting 32 gb of ram into my MBP 2012(mid, i7). I know the 3520m processor CAN serve 32 gb of ram memory BUT there might be some limitation on the motherboard making impossible the usage of 32 gigs of ram. The question is: did anybody try to put one pair...

I am running Photoshop and Lightroom from an SSD in my computer . I was wondering if I got a MBP w/retina display and ran the program off the SSD moved into a portable drive if there would be a considerable performance hit. It seems the only upgrade path or replacement path from here means to a...

Hi, Im thinking about changing the hard drive for my early 2011 MBP from a 320GB HDD to an SSD. My question is... can I simply get an SSD, replace it with the old HDD and use Time Machine to reinstall the OS? Or do I need to use the OS installation DVD and then can use time machine only after I...

Hello this is my first forum post ever. (My main computer is a Vaio Laptop and I have a desk external HDD.) I am posting because I was gifted a MacBook Pro 2006 non-unibody A1150 Core Duo 1.86(not Core 2 Duo). My boss didn't want it and so my wife wanted a Mac just to do simple school work on...

hey guys, after searching all through google to no avail i figured i should start where the tip and the foundation of circulating apple geeks know whats up. :) I have the newest or at least i believe the newest mbp out from the last drop and its a charm. however youtube comments won't load...

For the 15" rMBP tho. I'm having trouble finding a store which sells nice looking notebook sleeves (f.e. Herschel, or idk) Something no more than 70 bucks preferably (and of course not boring old models) Any suggestions on brands, or any online stores that ship internationally? Just nice...

Hi, I have a Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro that I upgraded with a OCZ Vertex 2 120GB (SATA 2) in late 2012. I also put 8GB of RAM in it at the same time. After more than 3 years of use I ran Blackmagic Disk Speed Test today and I am not getting over 100MB/s on either read or write (below). Is...

So, it's a little over a year since I bought my current MBP. Recently, it's developed a quirk where when I have either my Cintiq or another external monitor plugged in, I get these random blocks of quick bursts of static or colors on either the MBP's display or the external (sometimes even on...

I tried a search already to find any info about this and couldn't find anything. If I missed it I sincerely apologize. Do you guys have any hope that there is going to be a new 17" MBP? If so, what evidence do you have that leads you to believe so?

Instead of posting the url again and again for people having issues with it, I will post this here with the tags needed to automatically find it. Hope this is ok for the moderators. If not, just delete the Thread. (Disclaimer: I am neither the author of the video nor someone near to him. I just...

When is the next macbook pro coming out? All i gather so far, is that apple tends to release many products twice a year. Are macbook pro's also twice a year, or once a year? Is it speculation when the next macbook pro will be released? And when was the macbook pro currently on the apple...

I purchased my rMBP a Year ago and Yesterday after charging a few moments later I heard a Popping sound as if something had blown up. There was a faint smoke smell but i didn't suspect it to be the charger . When i plugged in the charger later on it was DEAD. There are no signs on the charger...

I installed a secondary HDD on my mid-2009 MBP optibay several months ago and everything was working fine and dandy so far, until an hour ago when I restarted my MBP and it didn't show me this disk anymore. I have yet to open the computer (working atm) to try and check stuff, but I wanted to...

Macbook Pro MD101LL/A using diplayport to vga adapter. Official Apple brand. This is the setup in teacher classrooms. The macbook is connected to the apple dongle which is displayport to vga and then the vga is connected to a wall drop running to a projector. The problem that is being...

Hi everyone, I just want to confirm if this version of the 13" is the last one where you can upgrade the RAM and HD yourself. I have an opportunity to buy a used late 2012 13" i7 MD102LL/A for a decent price. From a brief search it looks like i can throw in 16gigs of RAM as well as a large...

Audio for me seems completely broken in El Capitan (since early betas). I was hoping for Apple to resolve the issues but seems like that's not going to happen. I spent hours on Google trying to find a solution with no luck although many people report similar issues. USB DAC works for a little...
