If you load Windows 7 onto the MacBook Pro (2010 i5 or i7) with 16GB RAM loaded, Windows 7 will boot OK and be able to see/address the 16GB RAM.Īs far as I can tell, this appears to be an Apple SW limitation of some sort. If you load Ubuntu 12 onto the MacBook Pro (2010 i5 or i7) with 16GB RAM loaded, Ubuntu will boot OK and be able to see/address the 16GB RAM. A maxmem=2048 will allow the system to boot normally with 16GB RAM loaded however only 2GB RAM will be usable. This would limit the usable RAM to a maximum of 8GB (official Apple Max) however this also will cause a kernel panic during normal boot when 16GB RAM is physically loaded. It is possible to limit Max RAM to 8GB using the command: sudo nvram "-v maxmem=8192". " in safe mode, as opposed to "IntelHD.". Notice that the graphics card is listed as "Nvidia. You will be able to boot into safe mode OK and it will show the 16GB RAM in System Information.
After doing some digging around, it sounds like the limitation has to do with the IntelHD graphics SW that is used by OS X.Ī 2010 i5/i7 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM running MountainLion/Mavericks will kernel panic during normal boot. I believe there is an EFI limitation in OS X Mountain Lion that will not allow the 2010 i5/i7 Macbook Pro's to be upgraded over 8GB RAM. The type of RAM needed is DDR3 PC3-8500 1066.

If you have a 2010 MacBook Pro Core2Duo (13"), then you are in luck and you can upgrade to 16GB RAM. So are "Unrestricted Mode" and "Unrestricted Guest" two different features? I guess that is where I thought it might have a chance.Any mid-2010 MacBook Pro i5 or i7 is limited to a maximum of 8GB RAM. Aside from the marketing hype, this looks like what the real pass/fail is: I pulled the following info out of my vmware.logs on both machines. So it looks like the real issue here is more specific than "All Macs launched in 2011 or later are supported". I would appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts on this. So apparently Fusion 10 can run on a 2010 Mac, but which ones? It currently has Mavericks with Fusion 7.įusion 10 is not suppose to work on it either, but I can not play around with that one like I can this MacBook Pro. My end goal is to upgrade my 27" 2010 iMac to High Sierra, but I have to have Fusion on it.
So here is my question: Why did it work if it isn't suppose to? For example, if you have a 13-inch MacBook Air and your child accidentally spills a glass of water on it, this would require a Tier 4 repair.
Apple quotes repairs based on a series of tiers regarding damage and cost. Specs on the machine: 17" Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 6,1 CPU 2.8 Ghz I7 4GB Ram Original 500GB Seagate HD 5000 rpm macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 MacBook Pro Late 2012 Starting at 400 MacBook Air 13 2010-2017 Starting at 350 If your MacBook has Liquid Damage. It went through the normal install/reboot cycle and booted back up as expected. carefully followed every steps and did test after test with all the owc ram sticks and my old ones, but the MacBook pro can take only ONE piece of your 8G ram and one of my old 4G ram, the max limit i can see is 12G.

Windows Update downloaded and installed the December rollup and their malware updates, totaling about 300 MB. my macbook pro model is the right type (Model Number : A1278 MacBook Pro Mid 2010 13 Inches) and i am running the latest OSX. I was able to use it, reboot it a few times, and run Windows Update. Needless to say, I was both shocked and pleasantly surprised when it booted one of my Windows 7 Pro VMs.

I downloaded the Fusion Pro 10 Trial and installed it on my 2010 MacBook Pro on a whim just to see what would happen, since it wasn't suppose to work on this year model.
