MacBook Pro Mid 2014

[rat840771]

I’ve just bought a high spec 2nd hand MBP 15 inch

It’s a mid 2014 and it runs on Seirra. Am I correct in assuming it won’t run on the latest OS? What pisses me off is that I cannot load Numbers, works etc which is free on the App Store, do I have to pay for Microsoft office. As an interim I have loaded excel from the ‘cloud’ and will work online.

It should run Mojave, no probs.

I have a 2013 MacBook Air - running Mojave. Yours should be fine to do the same.

Be a bit careful with Mojave if you rely on older 'physical' software packages like Adobe InDesign as I gather they won't work on it.

But how do I update it, if I go to software update it doesn't allow me to update?

Please ignore my last message....I searched on the App Store and I have downloaded it...fingers crossed!

Same for me 2013, a MBP running it just fine (inc Photoshop) - not sure why a 2014 would have a problem.

Running the latest EVERYTHING on my mid 2014 (typing now).

zero issues or slow-downs.

Good news.

We have a few at work and they run like a dream on the latest.

Mine gets used for 12hrs a day and hasn’t skipped a beat - fantastic machine.

Mine is a 2013, keeps me out stating ‘lack of memory’. Is it a question of just removing some s@ved photos and programmes or can the memory be upgraded.

When you look at storage under 'about this Mac', what does it say?

Really impressed with my new mid 2014 MBP. It is so much faster than my last MBP and I think it’s all down to the SSD, but it also an i7 with 16gb of RAM. I think I got a good deal at £650 vs the ridiculous price of a new one!

Slowly getting used to OS but with some stuff I really do struggle. Took me hours to try and move music to an SD card to be out in car, it wouldn’t read the card. 5 mins on daughters windows laptop and it was sorted!
