13'' Macbook (Mid 2009), connecting to 30'' non-Mac monitor
Hi, i am buying a Dell monitor. Here is a link and the name of that monitor from a friend.
Dell™ 3007WFP Flat Panel Monitor http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/3007WFP/EN/about.htm#Front%20 View
I have a 13'' Macbook (Mid 2009) and im going to try and connect that computer to that monitor. I bought a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1NTE) but it only got the screen to the 1280x800, like the 13'' inch is set to. I'm asking if it is possible to connect that monitor via Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTA4MzU1ODY)
Both the Monitor and the cable are very expensive so i would apprisiate if you could tell me anything about them.

but it only got the screen to the 1280x800, like the 13'' inch is set to
1280 by 800 is the highest possible resolution for a 30-inch display on a single-link DVI connection.
I'm asking if it is possible to connect that monitor via Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
Yes.

How to set up my macbook mid 2009 osx leopard to mountain lion?
I was just given a MacBook mid 2009 Serial# MC240LL/A and it was master reset so its on Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and i need to get it to the latest software possible, but there is no app store and itunes doesnt work please HELP!
To get to Mountain Lion you are going to have to first get Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) which has the App store. You can purchase this on disk from Apple but you have to call them directly. 800-MY-APPLE in the USA.
Be sure you meet the hardware requirements for Mountain Lion before you do this. Note that 2GB of RAM is a bare minimum and 4 would be much better. According to some sources your MacBook will support up to 6GB, though Apple says 4 is the limit. -
hi i am currently using a white macbook mid 2009 with 10.6.8 version and i wanted to upgrade it to yosemite? So wanted to know if it would be alright?
Hi Shubham Nahar,
The system requirements for Yosemite are listed here.
How to install OS X Yosemite on your Mac
Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8, already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available disk space
I don't have that Macbook, so maybe others can chime in as well.
Take care,

I have a MacBook (mid 2009) running 10.8.3 and need to install Windows, at least XP, to run some software for work. What version of Boot Camp will work and where do I get a licensed copy of XP or Windows 7
The version of Boot Camp on your Mac will work, you must buy a copy of Windows 7 or 8 (not XP)

Have macbook mid 2009, with leopard, updated to yosemite, while erasing partition erased hd, dot have backups, powerup shows folder with question mark, inserting grey dvd shows apple and spinning wheel, please help
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. From here you can upgrade to Yosemite by re-downloading it from the Purchases page in the App Store. -
Connect MacBook mid-2009 to TV via S-Video
Previously, I had a Mac Mini 1.66 GHz Core Duo connected to my TV via a DVI-to-video adapter, which has an S-Video output:
http://store.apple.com/nl/product/M9267G/A
I've sold the Mac Mini and bought a MacBook white, mid-2009. Wanting to connect the MacBook in the same way, I've bought a mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter. However, the DVI-to-video adapter has a couple of pins extra, which make it impossible to connect to the mini-DVI-to-DVI adapter.
How can I connect my MacBook white to my TV, which has a S-Video input?Silent.

No audio from HDMI Macbook mid 2009. Solution through Apple TV?
Hi all,
I have recently bought a nice Philips Smart-TV 46PFL4208T. I planned to directly use the TV to watch Flash or Sillerlight containts, without the needed of connecting the laptop. Unfortunately, the Philips software for Smart-TV is not yet mature and it does not support not Flash nor Silveright.
This means that I must to connect my mid 2009 MacBook pro to the TV. That way I would just use the laptop capabilities of reading Flash/Silverlight and project them stratigthly into the TV through the HDMI connection. So, I went to the Apple Store and I bought a straight cable MiniDisplay-HDMI (paid around 50€). Unfortunately, the audio does not work. I read around and it seems that my latptop is too to support audio HDMI and that there are no turnarounds for this issue.
So I was thinking to return the cable and get an Apple TV instead, but I don't know if Apple TV can be used for my goal. Could you please let me know and/or provide any suggestion to solve my issue?
Best,
UbaldoYeah, just opened a discussion there, only for curiosity.
At this point instead of buying an Apple TV, I may keep my HDMI cable to connect to the TV an then I may just connect an audio cable from the heaphones out of my laptop to the TV or to an external loudspeaker.That way I would have everything mirored on the TV as well. I think I will adopt this solution while waiting that the Philips guys release a good software for their TVs.
Moreover, considering that I will just run some TV from some TV website, it is not important really to have laptop mobility (i.e. wireless), since it will standing on a chair while I am comfortably watching some nice TV show laying of the sofa
So, no points to get an Apple TV (I don't even need its smart functions, having already a smart-tv).
Thanks anyway for the answers. -
Macbook mid 2009 with OCZ Agility 3
Hey, I just get my OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD with 6GBps. I just get it into my MacBook 5.2 mid 2009 and tryed installing Snow Leopard, but it doesnt shoes the drive when I want to select where to install OS X 10.6 and neighter in the Disk Utility, but it gets recognize in the System Profiler. Any one may have a clue for me or does it just not support that ssd?
GreetingsI had the same problem, but I'll describe it in greater detail, and provide the solution that worked for me.
Problem:
I tried installing an OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD in a 2009 13" Macbook Pro 5,5 with EFI 1.7. The Snow Leopard DVD installer did not list the drive as an available drive for installation. Using Disk Utility from the installation DVD did not list the SSD. System Profiler on the DVD did see SSD. Formating the SSD from a USB enclosure did not help. The SSD was successfully initialized with a journalized HFS+ partition using a USB enclosure, but when connected to the SATA controller, the drive was still not detected.
Solution:
I upgraded the firmware on the SSD from version 2.11 to 2.13, and that fixed the problem. Some notes on upgrading the firmware:
The firmware is upgraded using a Linux distribution available for download on the OCZ web site. You need to burn an ISO image file to a CD, or extract it to a bootable USB drive. It will boot on Intel Macs.
An Internet connection is required by the firmware updater, but it didn't support the wireless hardware in my Macbook Pro. I had to use a wired connection.
It's not documented anywhere because it's presumably common sense, but your SSD should be connected to the SATA controller when performing the firmware upgrade.
The firmware updater only took a few seconds to run

Hope that helps someone. It took me a while to figure out. -

MacBook (Mid 2009) won't turn on after installing software updates.
My macbook white (mid 2009) won't turn on. I was going to install mountain lion so I performed a software update. I click install and reboot. It installed within a few minutes, but when it was rebooting the apple logo and the buffering sign popped up, and that went on over night. So I held down the power button to turn it off. It did the same thing, what should I do?
Not the right time to update and go to sleep. What updates? How much free space was on the hard drive?
Try inserting the OS installer disk in the optical drive and powering up holding down the c key. -
Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009
Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
AndreaIssue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again! -
It's weird, sometimes right click works on adobe flash chatrooms because the settings button comes up. I don't know what I'm pressing or touching to make right click work but it sometimes randomly works.
Hi Achilles,
See the previous replies on how to configure a trackpad (or mouse) in System Preferences for a right click (secondary click). I gave up on that and I now use control click. It does the same thing and is easier for me. Press and hold the control key, then click the trackpad. That brings up the contextual menu:

The maximum resolution for the monitor is 1080p. I have no problem getting this from my computer. When i use the HDMI i get 1080p, when i use VGA i get 1920 x 1080. Hmm -
