I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

  • I have a 2009 mac book pro.  CDs will not load in OSX - however it will load CDs in Win 7 via bootcamp.  Same with any CD or DVD.  Any ideas on what is wrong?

    I have a 2009 mac book pro running 10.6.8.  I also use win 7 via boot camp.  I can load CDs and DVDs fine, when booted onto win 7 but cannot get the same dvds or cds loaded when running OSX.  So, I'm having to reboot to win 7, every time I want to import a CD into my itunes library - I load the disc in win 7, then reboot back to osx in order to import the CD into my itunes library (which i have on my OSX side).  When running OSX, everytime I try to load any CD or DVD, the drive shoots the disc right out.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

  • How do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running os x 10.5.8

    how do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running 10.5.8

    I might also add your signature is not in congruence with your post.  Do you have 10.8.5, or 10.5.8.  10.8.5 is a free update to 10.9.   10.5.8, you must buy 10.6, download the free 10.6.8 combo to get to 10.8 or 10.9 via the App Store.
    The sequence of the numbers matters greatly.
    Per my prior post
    10.5.8 < 10.6< 10.6.8 < 10.7 < 10.8 < 10.8.5 < 10.9
    People just wanting 10.7 from 10.5.8 can purchase either 10.6 on CD, download 10.6.6 combo, and use the App Store to upgrade to 10.7.   They can also purchase the 10.7 USB Flash drive if it can be found, and install it on an external drive, and import the data over once they are ready to run 10.7.
    The key is knowing your software and driver compatibility.

  • I have an '09 mac book pro running os x mavericks. How do I empty the startup disk?

    I have an '09 mac book pro running os x mavericks. My startup disk is full. How do I empty it? I want to shift my videos to another external hard drive or delete them altogether.

    I think you're asking how to free up some space. Either copy the files off to an external drive and delete them, or just delete them. Delete means drag to the trash. Then empty the trash.

  • Installing Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition (mid-2009 mac book pro with mountain lion) My computer won't boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro (mid 2009, MBP53). I have successfully created a bootcamp partition using the assistant. When the computer tries to boot from the windows 7 install dvd, the screen is just black. The dvd spins for a bit, then stops and the computer is just black (no blinking cursor).
    Any advice would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    What kind of an install DVD are you using for Windows?
    You can use any DVDs that are hardware specific. Only the full non-hardware soecific DVDs work on the Mac.

  • 17-inch, Mid 2009 mac book pro freezes on startup

    My MBP occasionally freezes on startup.
    it is a 17-inch, Mid 2009 model details as follows
    Processor  2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
    The problem first occured before upgrading to Lion, but does seem to be getting progressively worse.
    I start the mbp, get the login screen, enter login and password succefully, and get the opening screen appropriate for my login...
    BUT am unable to select anything or perform any actions except using the on/off button to turn the mbp off, when its turned on it usually logs me in succesfully and then behaves as normal until the next login or the one after that ...
    Anyone have any ideas what might cause this or if there are any known cures?
    Thanks

    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Cannot get TV to mirror mid-2009 Mac Book Pro screen

    I previously had no trouble using my TV as a mirror for my mid-2009 MacBook Pro but suddenly found I could not longer do so. Sadly I cannot remember just how I set it up originally. Advice on the web entails going to Displays in Apple Preferences and then clicking on an Arrangement tab and then on a mirroring box. Unforunately, the tab does not show up on my machine so I am unable to check the box as suggested. I am using OS X 10.7.5. All help to restore mirroring would be much appreciated.

    Problem solved. I zapped the PRAM once. Nothing happened. But repeated zapping - about fiur or five times - established the link.It also showed the Arrangement tab in Displays whoch apparently only appears when the link is established.

  • Mid-2009 Mac Book Pro Screen Starting to come off

    Hi.
    I bought my MacBook Pro in July of 2009, and yesterday I realized that the screen "cover" was beginning to come loose at the top near the iSight camera. Is there a way for me to re-secure the screen so that things don't get worse?
    Right now, there is no problem with viewing the screen itself. I guess that you could say that the black border surrounding the screen itself is beginning to come loose.
    Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how I could re-secure this part of the screen?
    Thanks.

    Any suggestions on how I could re-secure this part of the screen?
    Yes: Don't!
    Let Apple do it. This is why you have a warranty.

  • I have a mac book pro running OS 10.5.8 and firefox has always been fine but for the last two days it is slow to open and run and wont shut down, I have to force quit. Is there a current problem?

    I have to force quit because my mac says "Firefox not responding" this happens on both my work network and home (cable) network.

    My best guess would be that the version of Safari you're using is outdated and unsupported by Outlook.com/Hotmail.com. Since you're still running Leopard (OS X 10.5), the best solution is to try Chrome 22 or Firefox 16 (the latest versions supported by Leopard).
    Otherwise, I would upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6) then you can run the newest versions of both Firefox and Chrome. You can get the upgrade for free from Apple if you call their customer support.
    I have the same model of Macbook and am running the newest version of OS X, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), without a problem. Then you would be able to run the latest version of Safari as well (version 6).
    EDIT: Here are links to older versions of Chrome and Firefox.
    Chrome 22: http://mac.oldapps.com/google_chrome.php?system=mac_os_x_10.5_leopard_intel
    Firefox 16: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/en-US/

  • Hello. My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files. Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????? I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9

    My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
    Please help me!!!!

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • What OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run

    Hi I have a Mac Book Pro from 2009 and I was wondering what OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run properly on this computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac supports OS X Yosemite. If you need to upgrade your Mac, do it, but if you are happy with the OS X version you are running or you do not like changes (OS X Yosemite has got an interface change), you can keep it always that it is not very old.
    In order to upgrade to OS X Yosemite, it is as simple as opening the Mac App Store and downloading OS X Yosemite. When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow its steps. Before upgrading, it is important to make a backup of your files with Time Machine -> Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support You can also check that your applications are compatible with Yosemite in this website -> http://www.roaringapps.com
    OS X Yosemite should run properly, but I recommend you to run it with at least 4 GB of RAM (you can check how much RAM you have in the Apple menu -> About this Mac). In case Yosemite runs slowly, the backup you made will let you go back to your old version.
