Virtual Dj 8 Free Download For Macbook Pro
Kenneth Calimlim
I have an older MacBook Air (see below) that was my daughter's and works well, but I'm trying to find a way to repurpose it for my youngest child to start learning. I'm very familiar with Windows, but not Mac OS.
If you're asking how to add more RAM, the 4 GB of real RAM that your machine has is soldered in, and there is no way to add more. No doubt your computer is already using virtual memory (virtual RAM), and is swapping out the contents of main RAM to blocks of compressed RAM, and/or to your internal SSD). However, simulated memory is much slower than the real thing, and if you are pushing your computer too hard, performance may drop off a cliff.
FYI, if you run Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder, inside the Application folder), while you are doing other work, and look at the colors on the Memory Pressure graph, that may give you a rough idea of your RAM situation
Okay, so based on the replies -- thank you all for your help :) -- it appears there is nothing I can do except get a newer machine with more capabilities. I'm not disappointed with this machine at all. I'm actually excited about buying a new one to see how awesome it is. Thank you all for your responses.
I run a MacBook Pro 15" with macOS Sierra and 4GB of memory. 'CleanMyMac X' tells me that I am running out of both physical and virtual memory which perhaps explains why the Mac has been running very slowly for a number of months.
I would be very grateful if anyone could advise me of anything I could do to retrieve some of the RAM and Swap which are almost full. I am no expert so a simple explanation of how I might achieve this would be much appreciated.
So, before going farther, it behooves you to tell us your sub-model so we do not recommend something your MacBook Pro sub-model cannot handle. Find the sub-model by doing "About ths Mac..." form your Apple menu. If you are running Mac OS 10.7 "Lion" or higher, the resulting window will show the sub-model, the part with a year and Early, Mid, or Late:
Scroll down and select SATA/SATA Express in the left memory pane as I have and then look for the drive type where I point. HHD means rotational drive (slow) and SSD means solid state drive (fast). As I said, I suspect you'll find HHD.
Long story short, in late 2012 I replaced the HHD of my MBP with an SSD (4GB of RAM) and I was amazed at the difference it made. I expected it to boot and launch applications faster but what amazed me was how well in performed in low memory situations and how the beachball totally disappeared from my life. Not much later I upgraded RAM and found that I almost couldn't tell I'd doubled my RAM - it didn't have all that much of an impact. Curious, I put the HHD back in and did notice a difference between 4GB and 8GB - but not the huge difference the SSD made.
In short, while I agree with Etresoft that upgrading an 8 year old machine is somewhat risky, I consider the SSD upgrade well worth it. (You may need to replace the ribbon cable too.) If the computer dies the SSD is probably going to survive and it can be repurposed in an enclosure. I'd think harder about upgrading the RAM.
How old is this machine? If it is 2012 or before, then you may be able to upgrade it. You can upgrade the memory chips to get more physical memory. You can upgrade the hard drive to an SSD to get more, and faster, virtual memory.
However, as machines get older, the internal components degrade. There is a possibility that you could spend a few hundred dollars upgrading it only to have it completely dies shortly thereafter. Depending on how old this machine is, you might want to consider purchasing a new machine.
dab, many thanks for your reply. Yes it's a HDD mid 2012. I shall keep in mind your advice about the advantages of SSD over increased memory. Fortunately we have an Apple Store in Kingston upon Thames and as a non expert, I shall ask them what they think might be the best course of action (assuming they don't just recommend the most expensive option) though I appreciate that SSD don't come cheap.
Unless the Apple Store has changed its policies, it will not replace the HHD for an SSD. However, check out this video. The back case comes off easily - a special tool is required. The hard drive slides right out from the logic board. There are sled rails to remove from the hard drive and place on the SSD using a phillips screw driver. Then slide the SSD in. Replacing the ribbon is also simple and you can find a video showing how to do that online as well.
I just got my new M1 Macbook Air a few days ago and discovered an issue with using Zoom via Chrome Browser which is that I get a message saying that it's not supported then usually crashes. However, if I use Zoom direct from the zoom app I can use virtual backgrounds just fine. I also tested it using a zoom meeting link through Safari and it seems to work as well. It just seems to be in conjunction with Chrome. I had read some other posts saying the new MacBooks couldn't use the Zoom virtual backgrounds but it does work for me as long as I start direct from Zoom and not going through Chrome.
Also one suggestion said to try this but there is no such option avail as turning on/clicking 'Allow users to upload custom backgrounds enabled in the Zoom portal under Account management' on my end at all.
Did zoom turn off the virtual background options because I signed up for my own account however, right now I am not a paying zoom customer? normally Zoom allows anyone to use their product, however restricted, one must wonder if this is not one of the reasons.
Also I checked the system setting that zoom claims you need to use the virtual background without a green screen - I am running Mac OS Catalina, which is 10.15.7, this is higher then the suggestion from zoom of '10.13 or higher ' - still the virtual backgrounds are not working and it keeps asking for a green screen - Why? when my settings are higher as it is.
I have always been able to use my background (even on my mac), all of a sudden Zoom starts doing various updates and no backgrounds are working. I noticed unlike MsTeams - zoom does not offer backgrounds of their own to use, whereas when you open MS Teams they have some backgrounds readily avail that you can use.
Should we all run out and purchase green colored bedsheets to use as a background or something, what should the rest of us do who work from home , have a family and need a background for virtual meetings? Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
While I do not know exactly what is causing your issue, I can assure you that Virtual Background without a green screen is available to free users. This support article provides full instructions for enabling Virtual Background. You can find minimum specifications and Zoom Client version for this feature here.
I am running Monterey on my MacBook pro with the M1 chip. All of sudden last week, my virtual background and filter choices went away. I have enabled them in the Admin settings of my Zoom pro account. They still work fine on my M1 iMac. I can't figure out how to get them back onto my MacBook Pro. I tried re-downloading Zoom for Mac with the Silocone chip, and that didn't work either. I REALLY need these on my Mac Book pro. Thank you!!
Hello, Yes, I did, I contacted zoom and someone contacted me back. They asked abt the specs of my particlar mac and checked it against what is needed now since they updated the system. Check zoom;s website for the specs needed for backgrounds.
My mac does not have the specs needed, problably because my mac is older, the newer macs might come equiped with the specs they are looking for, I guess. Everyone I know with a PC does not have this issue though, only macs. I have not checked mobile devices so I am not sure about how they are working with zoom backgrounds.
