30 inch vs unknown 2009

Hello there,
I always wanted to have an 30 inch apple display. Love that thing...
Now that i have found a two month used one, in good conditions i am afraid of byuing it.
Mostly because i don't know if there are going to be new cinema displays on 2009.
Is there any information about that?
will they be glossy? I hate the new iMac display, as well as tall others... If the new ones are going to be like the new 24 LED cinema display, sure i am going to buy an "old" cinema display. Is there any info about that?
Another doubt, are the 14ms real? I mean, i can see there 3ms response monitors... does it makes any diference to our eyes on anything else but gaming?
Regards,
Pikandi

Dave, thanks for your reply.
I have bought it at last monday.
Very satisfied at the moment. And if new cinema displays are going to be glossy, thank god i have decided my mind. If not...well i'm still happy with this one! No need of a webcam.
thanks

  • I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (2009) & the "White Screen of Death" is present.  Need help?

    I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro (2009).  Recently I bought an extended hard drive because I had used up the memory on my iDisk.  As I was running the Time Machine back up on my new extended drive, the battery on my Pro ran out causing it to shut down.  Once I hooked up my Pro to the power cord & logged in, the "White Screen of Death" appeared on the home display.  Obviously the battery still works, my phone is able to charge along with the extended drive, I am able to adjust the lighting on my keyboard along with adjusting the brightness on my screen, but the "White Screen" remains.  I need help in determining the cause of this issue & the steps I'll need to take in order to resolve this.  I love my Pro, all my documents, photos & music are on it & the last thing I want to do is kill my wallet by buying a new Pro.  So could someone on here please help me?  It would be greatly appreciated & I thank you in advance!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to a Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

  • Can i install Windows 8.1 on a 27 inch, iMac late 2009 model? Is this supported by Apple?

    Hello, before i start this endeavour is it supported by Apple to install Windows 81. on a late 2009 iMac 27 inch model? I get confused by all posts out there including on Apple's website. I'm happy to try it out but want to be sure that if i create a second partition for windows, my primary partion with MAC-OS does not get impacted in any way.
    Thanks,
    Martijn

    Hopefully this isn't confusing, look under iMac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US

  • Does Apple sell memory for Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (21.5-inch - DDR3) Late 2009 anymore?

    I have a 21.5-inch, late 2009 iMac (Apple iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo [21.5-inch - DDR3]) and I need more memory for it. Currently, I have the standard 4GB memory for it (2X2). I wanted to know if Apple makes memory for my model iMac anymore. Thanks!

    Buy your ram from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com.
    Apple probably still sells ram for your iMac but you'll pay twice the prince and get less for it.

  • Problems with the brightness of my 27" inchs i7 iMac (2009)

    The brightness isn't as high as it should, I see the screen fluttering few times to a lower brightness. Usually, when I turn on my computer the bright is ok, but immediately it goes lower and flutter randomly.
    Note: I have Windows 7 64bits running on Bootcamp too but uses more frequently Mac Os. Don't know if that matters.

    AFAIK, not the new ones (OWC even took their notes re. internal iMac drives off as well as their install instructions) due to some cabling (I believe):

  • Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2009. Heat Issues

    Hi!
    What can i do?
    I have a macbook pro 13" from 2009.
    The fans are always on 1999 RPM, they never go faster, not even when the computer reaches a temperature of 80° Celcius.
    As soon as I go to youtube to watch a video, the temperature goes up alot, but the fans stays at 1999 RPM and they refuse to go up. So the computer just gets warmer and warmer.
    So I downloaded a program called smcFanControl, and when i watch usually any video on youtube, the temperature goes up to around 64° Celcius with the fans running at around 3500 RPM.
    I can forget about watching ANY HD 720p video on youtube, because then the computers temperature reaches at least 70° Celcius even with the fans running at 4000RPM.
    I am SO sick of this heat issue.
    What can i do?
    The room I am in, isnt even warm. My sisters Sony Vaio is at 40° Celcius when watching the same HD 720p video.
    And this problem doesnt only occur when I watch HD videos, i get it no matter what video I watch on youtube. Highly annoying.
    Why cant my macbook pro control the fans automaticly? Is there any program that i can use so it controls the fans automaticly? Because I am SO tired of controlling the fans all the time, i need to control them when I go to youtube, when i go to expressen.se (Swedish news online), I need to control them when using videocall via skype, yeah almost all the time!
    Does anyone have the same problem? Or any idea what to do? It doesnt even matter if I'm downstairs in the livingroom where its really cold, I cant watch videos on youtube without the temperature reaching sickingly 80°celcius, or 64°Celcius with the fan running faster, which I have to do manually by the way.
    I would just love for my macbook to control them automaticly, I hate that i have to do it.
    Please help.
    I run Mac Os X 10.6.3 (Snow leopard), I have a 2,26 Ghz Macbook Pro 13 inch from mid 2009.
    SMC-version 1.47f2
    Please help,
    Kind regards

    Hi again PatrikK,
    The temperature that SMCFanControl reports itself is the CPU A temperature diode one from what I can see. As a test I ran SMCFanControl alongside Marcel Bresink's excellent shareware program "Hardware Monitor" , which provides much more detailed information about temperatures , speeds, power demand, etc etc, than SMC is able to do, to test this and the CPU A temp diode was certainly the closest to the Hardware Monitor readings. On the video pages of the Swedish newspaper site it was generally about 10ºC hotter than the CPU core temperatures, which were generally in the 60'sC, while the CPU A diode was in the 70'sC.
    So, with your CPU Diode temp at 80ºC the CPU core temps were probably only at about 70C, which, as I said, is about where the fan speeds actually usually start to increase under normal MacOSX control. (The algorithms used to determine fan speed in Macs aren't actually based on CPU temperature alone, but depend on the readings from various temperature sensors, together with measurement of electrical current draw etc, so no single CPU temperature is responsible)
    All in all, when I look back at your earlier post as well, I think your MBP is probably simply operating normally in the situations you mention. It certainly won't be doing it any harm (the maximum CPU core temperatures allowable for the 13" model are either 90ºC or 100ºC, depending on the actual procesor fitted, and this equates to a CPU A temperature diode - the one your software is measuring - of over 100ºC.) At 80º CPU A temperature the fans should only just be starting to increase, and you will find that they cut in quite aggressively from then on in, making sure that the core temperatures are not exceeded.
    So I don't think you need to worry about this situation in terms of the computer itself, though you should certainly be able to reduce the temperatures somewhat if you follow the approaches I mentioned with respect to Flash etc in my earlier post.
    If your concern is mainly comfort when using the computer, all I can suggest is that you follow Apple's own instructions about these computers being "notebooks", not "laptops", and when using it in a comparatively "high demand" situation such as watching flash videos use it on a desk, or do what I do and simply stick it on a thin plastic or wooden board when it is resting on my knees. There are all sorts of fancy "laptop cooler" devices out there that you can spend money on if you wish, with everything from powered fans to chemically based cooling processes, but I've always found that a light weight $2 plastic chopping board from Ikea does the job perfectly well in such situations!
    Cheers

  • IMac (24-inch, Early 2009) Hard Drive Replacement: Hybrid and Maximum Size Question

    I have a 24-inch iMac, early 2009 model and the internal hard drive has died so am looking to replace it and also upgrade it in the process.
    At the moment the broken internal drive was the standard 1TB model that comes with the computer. I have been doing a little bit of research and I'm liking the sound of a hybrid drive as they seem to be a relatively economical was of achieving close to SSD speeds. I've been looking particularly at 'Seagate ST4000DX001 DESKTOP SSHD 4TB SATA 6GB/s NCQ NAND 8GB 64MB HYBRID' for the replacement. I guess my question is if this drive will work in the iMac. Does a hybrid drive present and problems? Also, is there a limit to the maximum size the replacement drive can be? Will 4TB exceed this limit? Lastly, I understand this drive uses SATA III to connect with the computer, which is backwards compatible (I think?) so I'm presuming this will work in my iMac?
    Thanks in advance.

    The hybrid drive will kinda sorta be as fast as an SSD. The newest Seagate Hybrid is quite intelligent about caching the most often used files in flash and is quite an improvement over the first iteration. I used both the first and second generation drives in my 2007 iMac and was quite impressed with their performance…until I installed an SSD. The problem with the hybrids is that they just don’t have enough flash and no matter how intelligent the drive is it is guesswork so sometimes you’ll find the drive access just as pokey as any other 5400 RPM drive and then other times very fast.
    For about $200 it is a decent upgrade but with SSD prices having dropped nearly 50% in the last 18 months it is worth considering a smallish internal SSD for the OS and applications and an external drive for data.

  • Macbook pro mid 2009 running slow

    okay so i have a macbook pro 15 inch from mid 2009. my hard drive recently crashed and i bought a new 750 gb hard drive and installed mountain lion software. got my computer running but now my computer is constantly acting slow and showing the beach ball a lot. i have barely used any memory on the new harddrive and i am wondering if there is anyway i can fix it or if my computer is running slow because it is older and mountain lion is simply to new for it. also i know that i need to replace my battery but i am not sure if that has anything to do with my computer running slow.

  • Install OSX on Macbook Pro 2009

    Hello,
    I just bought a used Macbook Pro 17 inch form early 2009. There is Windows 8 installed, but I would like to install the OSX again.
    If I start with command + r the book is still starting in Windows8.
    I have a iMac from 2007 with Maverick running, and a old Macbook with 10.7.
    What is the best way to recover a version of OS X
    Thanks a lot.

    The whole point of the retail version of the OS  DVDs was that anyone who's system was capable of running that OS could buy the DVD. They were universal.
    As I wrote if it were me I'd want the security of having the DVD. Of course the ideal solution would be to get the original DVD from the seller who was legally required to furnish them.
    In any case the OP should do a reformat and clean install of whatever OS is used, especially if it is the clone. I would not want to run off of a clone from a different system in this case, to many unknowns.
    As for the legal question I've found discussing that here on ASC is a thankless task which leads no where. Apple is a big company if they have issues with the legality of anything they can look into it. I got no dog in that hunt.
    regards

  • Mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro HD Upgrade...

    Hello-
    Been looking around here and found many suggestions but wanted to specifically ask before purchasing, so...
    Mid-2009, Macbook Pro, 13".  Want to upgrade the HD to 1TB.  Suggestions on RPM's 5400 vs. 7200?  Also... when I check my current hard drive it says SATA but when I look around sites like Amazon and New Egg I am seeing SATA in various forms like 3.0 gb/s and 6.0 gb/s -- could someone here be kind enough to explain that to me, and also, explain to me if what I am looking for is SATA period or a specific SATA like 3.0 or 6.0?
    Last... any recommendations on a good external enclosure for the HD I'll be pulling out (but intend to use for not only backup, but transfer/migration after the new HD goes in, but in the end as a storage HD)?
    Thanks in advance!!

    That cable isn't cheap, so I wouldn't buy it until you see a problem. Your research was good though. Sometimes the SATA cable is marginal, and when an SSD replaces the HD, the added demand kills it. It's not all of them by any means though, so I'd hold off.

    Do you know how to copy your old drive to the new one? The easiest way is with an external enclosure and Carbon Copy Cloner. You put your new drive in the enclosure and clone it. Then when you swap the drives your new one looks exactly like your old one. Super Duper is another option, but it doesn't clone the Recovery partition. The external enclosure can then be used for your old hard drive, which gives you an external to use for backup or copies of important stuff.

  • Kernel panic - iMac Early 2009 - OS 10.9.5

    My iMac Early 2009 computer has been shutting down in different ways during different programs, usually graphics oriented.  Usually it freezes the display or some part of the display, becomes very very slow and then maybe I can wait and save work before restarting, maybe not--it's just frozen.  I was watching a video in Chrome just now and it completely shut down and restarted.  This is the first time this has happened--complete shut down.  I wonder if anyone can interpret the shut down log. 
    Specs are as follows:
    iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-Inch Aluminum (Early 2009) (E8435)
    6 MB shared level 2 cache
    1066 MHz system bus
    8GB of RAM (1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM)
    1 TB (7200 RPM)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 graphics - 512 MB GDDR3
    Log of the shut down follows.  Thank you very much in advance if anyone has any idea what is wrong.

    Thanks Mike.  I have no third party peripherals, but I did install ram, so I'll take that out.  I'm unable to install the Apple Hardware Test (holding D down doesn't work for me and I don't have the install disks that came with the computer anymore.)  I think it is a hardware problem though, due to it happening during lots of different programs running etc.  I'm guessing it is GPU related as well, because it says
    Kernel Extensions in backtrace:
             com.apple.nvidia.classic [...]
    From research I've done online, I gather replacing the video card will be half as expensive as buying a new computer, so I'm in a jam there.  The iMac screen display is also quite old  -- it has a yellowish color now and often  on the desktop you can "see through" windows "on top": you can see the outlines of windows below. 

  • Will a shell for a macbook 13 in. pro fit an older macbook 2009 model?

    I have an older macbook 2009.  Will a shell for a macbook pro 13 inch fit this 2009 macbook?

    I strongly recommend that you have your MBP battery rep[laced by Apple.  You will have the correct battery, it will work and have a warranty.
    Third party batteries have often proven to be totally unsatisfactory and I have my doubts that the 2011 battery will fit in your MBP.
