MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo) early 2008 can boot (usb or firewire) Linux or cdrom boot Linux?
where can view my Registered Apple Products?

1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. When its download finishes, close the installer and open Lion Diskmaker to create a bootable USB drive with Mountain Lion.
2. Press Option key while your Mac is starting, select the external drive and open Disk Utility.
3. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
4. Close the window and install Mountain Lion

    If you are on Yosemite, and have a CoreStorage volume (the default), it is not visible on the Windows side. The Apple HFS driver cannot read CS volumes.
    You can verify this by running the following command in OSX Terminal.
    diskutil cs list
    If you get any output, such volumes will not be visible.
    As a work around, if you really need it, check the 'Revertible' value. If it is yes, you can revert it to HFS+ by using the following command
    diskutil cs revert
    Here is the syntax for the command. The LVUUID parameter can be seen as a long string for your Logical Volume. Do not use the Logical Volume Group or any disk UUIDs. If you need the exact command, please post the output from the diskutil cs list command?
    diskutil cs revert
    Usage:  diskutil coreStorage revert
            MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode|lvUUID
            [-stdinpassphrase | -passphrase [passphrase] | -recoverykeychain file]
    Convert a CoreStorage logical volume back to its native type.
    The file system must be mounted and resizable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
    Ownership of the affected disk and a passphrase (if encrypted) is required.

    Hi guys,
    I'm DESPERATLEY trying to find an 85W T-style Magsafe for MacBook Pro (17-inch Core 2 Duo) available to order to the south of the UK,
    Apple staff in the stores of Covent Garden and Regent Street in London were totally useless in helping me find one, reccomending I "search it on Amazon"
    ANY help would be hugely appreciated!
    Many thanks

    A component such as this one can be used to connect that display to a DVI port.

  • Windows 7 RC Build 7100: No Audio on MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo)

    On Thursday, I installed the brand new Windows 7 RC Build 7100 on my MacBook Pro 1,1 (Core Duo). This version of Windows seems to be zippy and far more polished than Vista: boot time is much, much faster. So my main problem is this: I can't get sound to work at all. In the Device Manager, the audio device is banged out and shows as a "High Definition Audio Device" rather than AC'97 or whatever it's supposed to be. If I check the properties, under status it says, "The device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried to installing the drivers from RealTek about a zillion times, the Boot Camp drivers from the Leopard install disc and I've run all the little setup programs as Administrator and in Vista compatibility mode, but no luck. Has anyone else had any luck in getting the Windows 7 (7100) to run on an early model MacBook Pro with working audio? Thanks!

    Can't speak for MacBook, but for the desktop Mac Pro, the audio issue with Windows 7 install on boot camp is a known issue. You probably need to install the Realtek driver from your leopard install disk. It worked for me. Fixed the audio in about 5 minutes.
    Try this:
    while running windows 7
    Insert 10.5.4 or later Leopard disk
    Go to Boot camp folder
    Locate the Realtek driver .exe file
    Run it, it's an installer file
    Restart.
    Fixed my problem, similar to yours.

    any ideas ?

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

    I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly.  There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS.  There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement.  If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
    I have an aphorism:  Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality.  Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
    Ciao.

  • Editing 1080p footage on MacBook Pro 15-inch Core i5 2.4GHz

    Hi,
    I am thinking of purchasing a Canon EOS 550d. I would be very interested to know if my April 2010 MacBook Pro 15-inch Core i5 2.4GHz will be capable of editing 1080p footage shot at 25fps (PAL). I have edited 720p footage without any problems, but I have never had a camera capable of recording in 1080p.
    Thanks,
    Acros-Krik

    Should not be a problem at all. The best path is to transcode your footage using something like MPEG Streamclip to a usable codec, i.e. ProRes422 or Apple Intermediate Codec, for Final Cut Pro or Express respectively. If using Premiere Pro CS5, you can import native files directly into it. ProRes422 LT is a great codec from FCP7 only, it keeps the transcoded footage at the same file size as the native files and holds plenty of information for color grading later.
    It's highly recommended to have all footage and scratch files on an external drive and not your OS drive. Makes everything operate more smoothly.
    I do video work on the exact same machine using Final Cut Pro 7. I would strongly advise maxing out the ram. 8GB of ram helped a lot. I was hitting the 4GB limit with just a few pro apps open prior to adding more.

  • I'm running OS10.6.8 on an "old" Macbook Pro with Intel Core Duo 32. My work computer is down and I need to use Photoshop and cannot find a version that will run on here! It lets me use Illustrator 10, Indesign CS6, but Photoshop 4, 5, 5.5 and I can't get

    Please help.

    Your macbook pro has a 32 bit processor and not a 64 bit processor?
    If so, i believe photoshop cs5 is the newest photoshop version that will work on your Macbook Pro.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    You can get a 30 day trial trial version of photoshop cs5 from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    Also, photoshop cs through cs4 should work as well, but cs3, cs4 and cs5 will run better since cs and cs2 require Rosetta and can be kinda slow at times.

  • How much ram can my MacBook Pro 15 Inch, Early 2008 2.4 Core Duo 2 Take? 3 or 4 GB?

    My MacBook Pro 15 Inch is a early 2008 model.
    It is a 2.4 Core 2 Duo.
    I'm confused if it can take a max of 3 or 4 GB RAM.  Right now it has 2 GB.
    First question:  Can it take 3 or 4?
    Second question:  Will I notice an increase in speed?
    BTW - I checked the Apple document on removing/installing memory - but the matrix where my early 2008 15 inch is covered is confusing and it seems it would fall into either the 3 or 4 - depending on how your read it.

    Get the free MacTracker, it will give more accurate RAM information than the manual, as the manual get printed with the current RAM being sold, not the new stuff, so your Mac could possibly hold more.
    Yes your computer will be faster at some things with more RAM, but like a car, many parts also have to be fast, the CPU, the GPU, the hard drive speed, bus speed etc.
    Some things you can change, other things you can't and sometimes you need to backup your files and wipe the disk and reinstall everything all over again.
    Sometimes it's a slow Internet, or slow wifi network or something running on your machine.
    Host of issues cause slowdowns, this might be one of them

  • How can I connect my Early 2011" Macbook Pro 13" inch, with a generic Mini Display Port to HDMI connector, to a LG 32LD340 LCD TV, using Mountain Lion 10.8.2?

    I have an Early 2011" macbook pro 13 inch (core i5 2.3ghz 4gb ram 320hdd) with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and I want to connect it via Mini DP to HDMI connector, and a HDMI cable to a LCD TV LG 32LD340. When I had Lion OS, I had no problems at all.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • Regular pauses on MacBook Pro 13-inch after upgrading to Lion

    Hi,
    Ever since I upgraded to Lion my MacBook Pro 13-inch (Core 2 Duo) regularly pauses every hour or so; each pause lasts about 5 seconds, and during this time I see the spinning ball and my external HD (which I use for Time Machine) spins up. I also notice that opening certain applications take a longer time (spinning up my external drive); perhaps loading my previously loaded files? I never had this problem in Snow Leopard, but I regularly have this problem now. Any ideas on how to stop the pauses from happening?
    Thanks!

    Finally resolved...
    It's because of the fact that my mbp is too old to be upgraded to lion ...
    Although I've seen successful experiences of upgrading mbp 895 (manufactured by the end of 2007) to lion, it's a disaster due to random death halt according to my experiences..
    It seems 10.7.4 could be OK since I have met no problems for more than one week, however, when upgrading to 10.7.5, the death halt happened every half an hour, while even if I downgraded to 10.7.4, it doen't help, while when I continuously downgraded to snow leopard 10.6.8, it works normally.

  • Macbook Pro 15 inch screen quality

    Hey everyone , sorry if i'm killing this topic to death. Just wanted to know how good (or bad) the latest macbook pro 15 inch core 2 duo's screen quality is. I'm movin from my 17 inch c2d imac and i really dont want to wait for the LATEST leopard release in october. I know there's rumors of new LED backlighting but thats even more tentative than leopard! So any input about the current MBP's would be great, thanks!

    I say go for it,uneven illumination and all those flaws are not obvious when brightness is set to full.
    I am currently using the matte screen,but you can go for the glossy screen since its quality is your primary concern.
