2010 MBP support in OSX 10.6.3?

[calderone]

eh, what ever, you have a acronym you keep blabing about.

Actually, no, I haven't blabbed any acronym.

You don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you should call Apple up, no?

This is getting out of hand... Why can't everybody that's not interested in sharing knowledge or discussing the topic simply don't post? Surely you must have something better to do than attack those who do? Or is discussion forbidden around here? Everybody knows everything or should look elsewhere for information?

A thread starter being rude to the people who simply want to help him does not really help as well. There were quite a lot of people responding to the second part of your topic start. They were just helping you in trying to migrate from 1 machine to the other. They simply didn't understand the real question you had which doesn't justify you being rude to them. People are not really helpful if you're being rude to them.

Also being ACSA certified does not really say much. There are quite a lot of consultants that have some certification like ACSA but this does not mean they have the skills to piece the things they learned together and solve problems like the really technical people are able to do. I think that's what makes you and calderone different. I find this to be a typical question for a consultant and not a technician. A technician would have looked at the specs, the time when 10.6.3 came out and what happened in the past and figured out that it may not work due to drivers not being in 10.6.3 so he wouldn't even bother asking the question. The cpu and its built-in graphicscard should have gave something away imo.

@jbuk: using migration assistant is not something the thread starter needs/wants but to answer your question: yes one could use migration assistant to migrate data, applications and settings from one machine to another. You can do this by connecting the two machines to each other (firewire or network) or by using a Time Machine backup (on a disk or Time Capsule). Cloning or doing a full Time Machine restore is quite different because it will restore everything, even the filesystem you're using.

You're the one who tried to cite your meaningless ACSA certification as evidence that you're somehow above everyone else. Pot? Meet kettle.

The first gave out misinformation, the other one must have responded to a different topic, because I was unable to relate what he suggested to any of my questions. It was not my intention to be rude, only to point out that they did not help.

I mentioned it as a means to put weight behind my claim that OSX images can be deployed to different hardware sets (he was claiming the opposite), and it's perfectly reasonable considering 1/4 of the certification deals with deployment. Do you disagree?

A technician would have looked at the specs, the time when 10.6.3 came out and what happened in the past and figured out that it may not work due to drivers not being in 10.6.3 so he wouldn't even bother asking the question.

Had you actually bothered to read the OP you would know that I am talking about the 13" which still has a c2d cpu and external graphics card. The only differences between the old one are the trackpad and graphics chip as far as I know. It's perfectly possible that 10.6.3 has support, and a simple "yes" or "no" from somebody who actually has the laptop would suffice.

Nobody has made such a claim, please work out your self esteem issues elsewhere, they are not helping the topic.

Anyways my question was answered, thanks to those who actually were on topic instead of attacking me/others. Hope it may be helpful to others wondering about the same thing.

There have been only two instances where I have encountered situations that are outside of the guidelines from Apple that calderone posted.

The first did not give any misinformation, the other did reply to your question. If you dislike others not reading your topic start you might set an example by reading other people's replies. You do not seem to be doing that though... It's quite obvious how their replies relate to your questions if you simply read them plus your own OP.

There is quite a big difference between learning and putting the things you've learned into practice. I've know too many people who had very good grades regarding things like networking but in real life they couldn't even configure a simple Linksys router. Then again, this is the internet, too many people claim to be certified in something just to show off. You just have to assume that it's true. Besides that, I don't really see why you'd want to mention the ACSA, it's meaningless in this context and it does not help. That obviously made some people feel like you were just showing off (hence the somewhat rude reply from miles01110).

Had you actually bothered to read the OP you would know that I am talking about the 13" which still has a c2d cpu and external graphics card.

Had you actually bothered to read the OP you would know that you do not mention anything about the 2010 MBP being 13". You were merely talking about some 13" 2009 MBP model you sold. The only other things you mention are the MacBook and some 2010 MacBook Pro. For all I know it could have been the 15" or 17". I simply took a wild guess and went for the 15" as most people seem to be buying that model.

The only differences between the old one are the trackpad and graphics chip as far as I know. It's perfectly possible that 10.6.3 has support, and a simple "yes" or "no" from somebody who actually has the laptop would suffice.

If you had put this part in your OP originally it would have made things a lot easier. The part about the migration and the sold 2009 model could have been left out, they don't add anything except for confusion and replies you don't want. Again, if you did some thinking you could have figured that the chances of 10.6.3 supporting any of the 2010 MBP's is very slim. You left out some simple and crucial parts and because of that some people thought you were somewhat of a newbe needing some basic help which they gave.

In other words, you can prevent a lot of those unnecessary replies by simply writing a proper OP and by thanking people for replying but telling them it's not what you're looking for (instead of yelling people should start reading your OP).
