13" MacBook Pro (mid 2009) hard drive and memory upgrade

So I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive and memory for my 13" MacBook Pro. I'm still wondering just how easy it will be to recover my data, and put it back onto my new drive. I currently have everything backed up to an External drive using Time Machine. If I back it up, and then do the replacement, is it really as simple as it sounds to start it up, put in the Mac OS disk and then restore from a Time Machine backup? I have 150 Gb worth of data and would be ticked off if I can't get it back to my MacBook Pro. Any expertise out there? The actual installation looks easy, but it's the loading the new drive that has me concerned. When I install the new drive, is there anything else I need to do to prep it? And how do I do it if there is? Looking at a 500 gb or even 1 Tb Western Digital drive.

I would say get yourself an external enclosure. Put the hard drive that comes out of your MacBook pro into the enclosure. Put in the new hard drive. Boot up from the external hard drive, use disk utility to format the new drive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to move everything as it is from old hard drive to new internal one. Re-boot to internal drive, you are done.
Carbon Copy Cloner is a freeware get it from download.com

MacBook Pro (Mid-2009, 13", 2.26) Memory Upgrade Question

I currently own a MacBook Pro (2.26; 13") (Mid-2009) with 2GB of memory. I purchased a single 4GB memory card that I plan to add in one of the slots. If I understand correctly that would leave me with a total of 5GB of memory (4GB 1GB). Is this workable?
I have heard rumours that both slots must have the same amount of memory. Regardless - will this be detrimental or an improvement?

Running Lion I would say go for more RAM. 2 GBs is Lion's minimum. If you run more than a couple of applications concurrently then you will quickly find yourself low on memory which would slow down the machine a lot more than the lack of matched pair RAM modules. I would say 4 GBs is a good compromise for casual uses. But if you're trying to run all the Adobe CS5 apps or all of the Office apps concurrently, then you'll be happier with 6 GBs of RAM. But it's hard to know what to suggest since only you know your operating situation, so here's some info that may help you make the decision.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Macbook pro mid 2009 Hard Drive Replacing

Hello my name is Javier, I amcontacting you for a problem I have on a mid 2009 Macbook Pro 2.8GHz (MB986LL /A), This is a computer, which I paid more than 2200€ less than 2 years, the date of purchase was July 17, 2009.

I have problems and Apple does not want help ☹
You will see the problem withthe computer for which you are annoyed by the hard drive where smart verification failsand tells me I have to changethe hard disk.
I tried not to disturb and replace the hard drive myself, but this team and its driver gives problems with SATAdrives that do not bear the Apple firmware, which are described in your techsupport forums
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2054387?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2267098?start=75&tstart=0
As you can see there two threads with literally hundreds of pages on the incident.
The problem is that the same hard disk carrying thenotebook without the Apple firmware is worth € 52 but if Apple bought the costis 300 €, the same drive just with different firmware but it makes that thehard drive "NO APPLE "problem which is an abuse by Apple against itscustomers and a clear assault on the consumer.
What hard drive could buy?, do not want problems, Can anyone give their experience?
I've been watching this that is very similar to what has by default

Help me Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seagate is the must compatible hard drives with Macs
And you can see how to replace it in the link below

But keep in mind that you will void apple's warranty any you may damage your computer.

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
-I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
-I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

Good luck.
Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

OWC is a reputable supplier of hard drives and RAM upgrades to the Mac community.
Go to their site, lookup your model MacBook Pro and see what upgrades are available.
The 1tb WD Scorpio Blue is a 5400rpm drive and slower than the crop of 7200rpm drives.
Do you need space over speed?

I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally 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.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

Macbook Pro mid 2010 hard drive beep, click, freeze BACK after Lion?

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro and I had the same problem that was described here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9817201?messageID=9817201#9817201
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15055210#15055210
Like many others, mine stopped beeping after the Software Update released by Apple when they admitted there was a problem. However, since I've upgraded to Lion, the hard drive is back to its old ways of beeping, clicking, and freezing. Anyone else having this problem again? Anyone else think this is an odd coincidence? I called support and, after going through the usual troubleshooting, they escalated to a supervisor who wanted me to go through the same troubleshooting only to tell me that I should take it into an Apple Store where they'll likely send it in for testing. I haven't done it yet because it's rather inconvenient to have to jump through the same hoops and be without my computer again when the problem seems fairly obvious based on my history with this machine. I'm actually hoping it's hardware failure at this point so I don't have to wait for them to acknowledge another problem.

Hi Luke,
The click/beep was happening more and more and was starting to drive me nuts.
I contacted Apple/Seagate but neither were helpful at all.
I went to my local Apple representative but they said they would need to hold on to my laptop for 1-2weeks while they checked out the issue and then replaced the HDD and the same model, this was something I couldn't do as I need my laptop for work everyday.
Apple's online support (+ call) just told me to bring it into my local Apple representative so that went nowhere.
In the end I shelled out my own money to fix Seagate/Apples problem and bought a Seagate Momentus XT 500GB drive which I have had no issue with since I got it, about 6 months.
It also speeds up my Mac with the inbuilt SSD cache. I recommend it.
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/internal-storage/momentus-xt-kit/
I also just saw that Seagate now offer a 750GB model.
FYI, I had this click/beep issue in Snow Leopard too.
For anyone doing a google, here is the exact HDD I have now which works well:

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Hard Freezes and Crashes

So I bought my Macbook about a month ago, and ever since then Ive been having this same issue over and over again. I have tried every solution apple has thrown at me and nothing has seemed to fix it. I have sent it out for a repair, reinstalled the OSX, Cleared the pRam, and various other things. I have not narrowed down the situation myself and cant seem to figure out what is causing these hard freezes and crashes. It always happens randomly at something GPU related it seems. Almost like the video card gets to stressed out at crashes. From scrolling up the page of a website to switching to a different video on youtube, all these little and sometimes big things have caused it to crash. Apple has sent it out for repair and they claimed that they fixed the logic board, but that didn't work because the issue still persists. I have reinstalled the OSX from guidance of a apple care associate over the phone. Ive eliminated almost every possible situation they have given me and nothing seems to fix it. Im not sure if there is a defect in these particular models or I just got a lemon but either way its frustrating. I will post the specs below and provide any other info that is asked.
SPECS:
GPU: Intel Iris Pro
Processor : 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Software: OS X 10.9.4

IMac, MacBook Pro, 750GB USB Hard Drive and Time Machine

I have my external hard drive partitioned and directly connected to my iMac. Time Machine mounts and backs up one partition. I have the other partition configured to share off of the iMac. The MacBook Pro sees the partition in time machine but the back up fails every time. I understand that the drive won't allow the two Macs to back up at the same time, so I've shut off Time Machine on the iMac....still no success. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

So I have made some head way regarding this odd problem. Turns out my memory card reader is fine I think. My memory card reader will eject on the right port using a 4GB Lexar 133X professional CF card but NOT on the left USB port. However ALL 3 of my sandisk CF cards work fine in the reader on both USB ports. These 3 cards range from all different speeds from 15MB/sex to 30MB/sec. My lexar is 20MB/sec rated. Go figure!?
As for the Western Digital My passport USB 3.0 drive I have come to the conclusion its the drive and not the port. Reading through various forums on Anandtech, Apple Support and the Western Digital website forum many people have had issues with these drives on USB 3 ports on both Windows and on the Mac.

Hard drive and memory upgrade for macbook

What is the maximum hard drive I can install on a 2ghz core duo macbook, I currently also have 2g memory but want to know what the maximum upgrade on that can be as well. Trying to update the internal components and I thought i'd ask you often reliable folk in the community.

Sorry about that--missed the "also" in your first post! We get a lot of folks who don't understand the difference between RAM and hard drive space, and I sometimes make assumptions. Again, my apologies!
Check in System Profiler for your computer's Model Identifier; this can be used to determine the amount of RAM your computer can handle.
You can check the information yourself using crucial.com's memory scanner tool or by using MacTracker: http://mactracker.ca/

Hard Drive and Memory Upgrade

I recently got an 8.0GB Memory Kit and a 1.0TB Hard Drive for my Macbook Pro. Is there a way to install both of these without losing my data? Can I transfer my data to the bigger hard drive?

It is indeed extremely simple — so simple that even Apple thinks you can do it without any problem, and provides instructions for doing so right in the little owner's guide that came with your computer. It's a great deal more complicated in the pre-unibody MBPs, and Apple doesn't regard it as a DIY proposition in them.
EDIT: Ah, I see you're running OS X 10.5.3. If that's the case, you can't be using a unibody MacBook Pro (they all require at least 10.5.5), and you may very well not want to change the drive yourself.
And unless it's a 17" model, a 1TB drive won't fit into it.

Those models took 1066 MHz memory - but you have 1333Mhz...
I'd test with the original or other correct spec. memory - and/or test with Apple Hardware Test or other memory testing software - like Rember.

Can intel 520 series SSD be installed in macbook pro mid 2009

This is some of the information for the 180g SSD I want to replace my HD in my 13" macbook pro mid 2009
25nm NAND Flash Memory
2.5” form factor
SATA 6.0 Gb/s performance
My computer though has this information for its hard drive:
Product:          MCP79 AHCI
Link Speed:          3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed:          1.5 Gigabit
Description:          AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
I know that the SATA 6.0 will be backwards compatible with my connection, but I was wondering if I am going to hit any problems. I am going to do a full time machine backup so I can have everything cloned onto the SSD, but want to know before I buy the SSD

Recently installed same type of SSD (Intel 520 120GB) in our 2010 Macbook (white) and runs just as well as its big bro. No problems at all. Storage isn't an issue since most stuff's in the cloud these days and we carry large files around on a USB stick. Way to go!

Help on installing Snow Leopard on Macbook pro mid 2009

I have macbook pro mid 2009 with 10.5.8 upgrade as latest. I am planning to install snow leopard on it. However before i do that i will upgrade the hard disk to 500gb and ram to 8 gb. As i never done reinstalling os on mac My question is
Should i install the original os first (which is leopard) and then upgrade it to snow leopard and backup my files from time machine ?
or
Can i just install snow leopard and back up my files from time machine?
Thanks for your answers in advance

I would upgrade your system to Snow Leopard first, then backup the entire system to Time Machine. Then upgrade your hard drive install Mac OS X 10.6 then on the set up screen (Do You Already Own a Mac?" click the button that states "from a Time Machine backup".

I have apple macbook pro mid 2009 ... my hard disk stopped working and i had mac os 10.6.8 in it ... i bought a new hard disk drive but i didn't have my CD so i installed my friend's mac os 10.5.8 in the new hard disk ... i want to get my 10.6.8 back

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
