upgrade

This will probably come under the banner of "stupidest questions ever asked" but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've never bought an iPhone at launch, I've always upgraded when I feel I need to and this has never been in September when the new devices come out. I currently have an iPhone 6s Plus...

I am trying to find ways to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 2007 to latest OS. It was given to me by my brother in law. I’m on very low income and can’t afford new MacBook. Is it possible to upgrade it without breaking my bank and how to go about it?

Hi guys, I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012 by replacing the original HDD with a Crucial BX500 SSD. Using recovery mode and a USB to SATA cable I initialized my SSD (APFS). Then I installed Mac OS X Mojave and continued like a new device. With Migration Assistant I moved all the...

I have an early 2006 Core Duo iMac that I've upgraded the CPU in to a Core 2 Duo 2GHz. I've tried using the Firmware Tool to upgrade the firmware of the computer, however, all I get is error 5530, which I believe is because it tries downloading the firmware from a dead link. I could not find any...

Gentle folks: Have been a regular user of the work of DOSDUDE1 and others in support of running current versions of macOS on older unsupported Macs, specifically on my MacBook Pro 4,1 (early 2008). Have upgraded my macOS version through Sierra --> High Sierra --> Mojave 14.0, the last shortly...

Hey everyone, I recently started refurbing on my old 2010 MBP and have run in to some problems. First problem that I am having is the battery was bulging and pressing the trackpad up so that it would no longer click, but I have resolved that by simply removing the battery for now, and I intend...

Regarding a classic Mac Pro 5.1 for media work: If you had 1. a faster SSD (NVMe) that connects via PCIe slot and 2. a slower SSD in one of the four harddisc drive bays and 3. an even slower HDD in one of the four harddisc drive bays, which of those 3 would you use for A. Operating...

I'm interested in getting a higher storage name ssd for my MacBook Air. I only care about battery life and not peformance. I'm interested in the aura pro x2 and off the counter ssds combined with a Sintech adapter Any suggestions much appreciated

I'm looking to buy a new Mac Mini. I'd like 32GB RAM, but £540 seems a ludicrous amount to pay for it, given how much it costs elsewhere. I'm reading that installing RAM in these newer Minis is fiddly. Given that I'm not the most 'handy' of people, I'd rather not risk doing it myself. So this is...

Hi, sorry for the double post, maybe some readers will only get it here Hi everyone, new to this forum. Mac pro 2009 mono cpu (stock mono 2,66) updated to 5.1, high sierra with bootrom MP51.0089.B00 BootROM CPU update fail !! Trying to install a x5675 bought on ebay After cpu change and new...

Ok, it's 2019 and I still rock my MP5.1 with its stock ATI 5770 and its 4-cores 3.2GHz. I have not any impelling reason to upgrade to 10.14, but I noticed that when I play via bootcamp my PC games (mostly indies and strategy games, I have an Xbox for the big titles) the performance of my 5770...

Hi! I have a 2017 27 inch iMac (EMC 3070) with a 1TB fusion drive. I'm wanting to upgrade the storage, and thinking: Upgrade SATA III to: Crucial MX500 2TB (3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch, Internal SSD) Upgrade the PCIe to: Samsung 970 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 SSD Does this seem a good plan? I reckon I can...

From the reviews I’ve watched and read about the Pixel 3A and 3A XL, Google could have a very popular phone on its hands. It has decent specs, a solid display, an excellent camera, a guaranteed three years of OS updates, an earphone jack (!), and it’s being sold at a very competitive price...

So I have the iPhone XS Max with AT&T, paying monthly for the phone (AT&T Next Every Year) plan. As of right now I owe $87.20 on the phone, then I can trade in and upgrade early. But I obviously want to wait until September for the new iPhones. My question is, if I pay off the trade in balance...

Hi all, Hoping to get some expert advice here on a topic I have no doubt some of you will be sick of reading. I've searched and searched but can't find any sort of solution. I've got an mSATA 128GB SSD, which is formatted to FAT32 and definitely works. This is mounted on an mSATA to ZIF...

Been on Camera+ Legacy since the beginning. Read that initially, Camera+ 2 was buggy and really didn't add THAT much to what I already had. Wondering how it's all working out for people who upgraded nowadays. Recommended?

Hello, I am currently using the base model mid-2015 Macbook pro, and have been looking into an upgrade. Alot of people are saying there is not going to be an upgrade this summer, but even if there is I was wanting your take on whether I should grab a 2018 15" base model instead of waiting for...

Hi! I've got 2013 A1398 machine with only... 128gb ssd :eek:. I need an upgrade option not breaking my wallet. I know Samsung NVMEs, 970 series are good, but my budget is no more than 80-100 bucks which is enough only for 256 model, that is not quite what I need - 500gb rather is. Is there a...

Hi all! So I've got an old 21.5" 2011 iMac that I'm looking to upgrade. My current 2012 15" cMBP is on its way out and I don't trust it'll last for a few projects I'm recording. I'm going to upgrade the hard-drive to an SSD and max the RAM to 32GB, however I was also looking to upgrade the...

Hi, I have an Apple TV 2nd gen. I use my PS4 to stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, BBC, etc... I've seen that when using AirPlay, (being the source an iPhone XS Max or MacBook Pro 2018), there is a little bit of a lag. Is it worth upgrading to a newer generation of Apple TV? I would consider the...
