2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa) weird display color and vertical lines

I have the 2008 macbook pro 15" (Santa Rosa). After my upgrade to mac os x lion (10.8.2), I noticed that periodically the screen either turns to weird display color and have horizontal lines on screen. This happens mostly during start up and lasts for about a min or two. Does this happen because of a faulty graphics card? I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB card on this macbook pro. Please advice

Nope - it sounds as if you've GPU issues and the discrete GPU is soldered onto the logic board. take your new machine into your local Apple Store for a replacement. Don't wait too long!

Will 2008 macbook pro work with 27" cinema display?

November macbook pro 13"
will this work seamlessly with new cinema diaplay?
also - how come it's not HD but 30" is? thanks.

I am using and enjoying my 27" Cinema Display with my October 2008 MacBook Pro 5,1. The display is breathtaking and its operation with my computer is flawless. I strongly recommend that you consider getting an Apple external keyboard and Magic Trackpad to use with your MBP and Cinema Display.
If you have a MBP 5,1 as your post indicates, it has both a 9400M and a 9600M GT GPU, not a 9200M.

When you order a MBP you can have it delivered at any Apple retail store. When you get the e-mail that the MBP is ready to be picked up, you have options to enter in the rersponse if you or someone else will pick it up. You will have to fill in some required information that will identify that person to the store personnel.
I had my last MBP delivered to the local store, but I picked it up.
Ciao.

Early 2008 Macbook Pro Should I upgrade to 6gb ram and SSD?

In the last few months, I've entered the world of 64-bit computing. I learned that this now means that my Early 2008 Macbook Pro, that has been fantastic and flawless for 6 years, needs an upgrade or replacement. I'm hard-hard stuck on whether I should upgrade it or replace it.
My current configuration is:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Storage 200 GB SATA Disk
I need to run OSX Mavericks and Windows 7 in VMWare or Bootcamp (I don't really like bootcamp).
I am eyeing two upgrades
1) Crucial 4GB Single DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) CL5 SODIMM 200-Pin Notebook Memory Module CT51264AC667
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RB21JY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1& smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
2) Crucial M500 240GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT240M500SSD1
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2-5-Inch-adapter-Internal-CT240M500SSD1/dp/B00BQ8R M1A/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1392961391&sr=1-10&keywords=ssd
My question is: Is it worth it for me max out my computer by upgrading again for $250? Will this hold me over for another 2-3 years, or should I look to replace?

Well, I have researched and researched and researched and come to a conclusion. I've compared many brand new replacement computers, and also reviewed my options for upgrading my computer. Upgrading to a new computer altogether, I have come across a few very attractive offers, but they're all in the $800+ price range.
I've decided that OSX Mavericks is my main issue. My early 2008 Macbook Pro was 100% perfectly sufficient for everything I needed it for when using OSX Snow Leopard. After the upgrade, VMWare Fusion runs like a sloth and everything else runs like a slug (maybe a slug that had a 5 hour energy...). Seriously. Just now, I am running Safari and MS Word while copying files to my backup drive. The beachball is all over the place, whereas the CPU is only at 15% use and RAM is at 3.97/4.00. I'm barely using the computer, and it's ridiculously hot and the fans are screaming.
First thing I'm going to do is 'upgrade' back to Snow Leopard to recover my RAM and regain the ability to effectively run my VMWare virtual machine. Then, I'm going to opt for the $100 upgrade to total 6GB of RAM and $150 upgrade to a SSD.

If I were to take Lion off of my 2008 Macbook Pro by reseting it to factory defaults, and if I were to want it back, would I have to pay for the OS again?

I've got an early 2008 Macbook Pro, which I believe initially came with Leopard. I put Lion on it last year, but now I need to partition my hard drive with Windows XP, and to my knowledge, there is no way to partition anything but Windows 7 when using BootCamp.
I don't love Lion, it's OK. I could sleep at night if I parted with it.
If I ever wanted it back, could I download it without having to buy it again since I've bought it once already?

No, because you bought Lion before. When you buy Lion, you can install it whenever you want in all your Macs

MacBook Pro - with Santa Rosa - Kernel Panics

The local Apple store has replaced my new Santa Rosa MacBook Pro once already and when I received the machine, I did a brand new install and then transferred my files over. They told me that if I still get Kernel Panics on this second machine to go ahead and do an Archive and Install or Full Install option.
Until Time Machine is out, what is the best backup method for keeping all files and settings if you want to do a complete new install and format?
Does anyone think a brand new install will fix this? Also, this machine is getting a lot less KP's than the previous Santa Rosa MBP got. Any ideas why?
Here is my panic.log below. Does anyone have any ideas what this Unresolved Kernel Panic Means?

Hi Kaleb,
I got a similar problem with my MacBook Pro. Kernel panic with Airport atheros driver. My router is Linksys WRT300n. A brand new install didn't fix the problem. This is the panic.log of the most recent KP.

Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro 15" • 120GB HD • 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Macbook Pro 2011 charging behaving weird. Charges and stops repeatedly and takes very long. Help?

So a few weeks ago my MacBook Pro 2011 started having charging problems. I would use it normally. Then plug it in to charge anywhere between 5-20 percent like I've been doing for the past year that I've had it (since August 2011). Anyway, what happens now is that it charges but extremely slowly - at least 4 hours to fully charge as opposed to the 1 1/2 to 2 hours that it used to take. Also, it seems to be draining a lot quicker than it used to while only browsing the internet. Furthermore, while charging, the battery meter goes from the percent its charged to to "not charging" back and forth. What's going on? Is there a problem with my battery, my computer, or the magsafe charger? [please refer to the pictures below to get a better understanding of my problem - these pictures were taken over a 2 hour time period - a time period that usually is enough to charge my computer] - if you'll notice, in the first two pictures, the percent barely went up by 10 in a half hour period:

Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?
Thank you,

try doing a SMC RESET and see if that sorts it out for you.
if doesn't work - better take it to Apple and have them look at it before something else goes wrong...
good luck - hope you get it sorted out..

My MacBook Pro can't find the display brand and resolution

Hello everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.7 13" Early 2011.
I use and external display Philips 220C1SW
Recently my mac won't recognize the Philips brand anymore and use instead a generic display resolution, which is wrong.
Does anybody had the same issue?
Looking forward your answers
Mat

Hello le-mat
Check out the article below for resolving issues when connecting to an external display. I would start with resetting the NVRAM and SMC as they will resolve most display resolution and power issues.

MacBook Pro 17" Santa Rosa and 64-bits strange issue...

Hi all,
my MacBoo Pro 17" Intel Core 2 Duo 2,4GHz under SL 10.6.5 seems to be able to boot in 64 bits, so I edited the com.Apple.boot.plist in order to do so. I rebooted fine but as I'm going to Informations System, it shows that the Kernel didn't boot in 64-bits as you can see on the image below:
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8300/softwareinfo.jpg
I Tried the Kernel Startup Mode Selector (from http://www.ahatfullofsky.comuv.com/English/Programs/SMS/SMS.html) and after rebooting it shows that I rebooted in 32-bits mode althought it sais the computer was able to boot in 64-bits mode.
As I look in Hardware info panel (http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/1363/hardwareinfo.jpg), my requirements are ok, but I cant' understand why it still boot under 32-bits mode.
Any idea?...

Can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.

hi, i have a late 2008 15 inch macbook pro, which have a mini display port.
I noticed that thunderbolt and mini display port looks a like. So, my question is :
can i connect thunderbolt duo hard drive to the mini display port of a late 2008 macbook pro which do not have thunderbolt port, but have mini display port.
thank you

ken94538,
no, you’d need a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter or Thunderbolt-to-USB adapter to be able to access your Thunderbolt hard drive from your 2008 MacBook Pro.

Replacing Display housing for Early 2008 Macbook pro. older housing ok?

Hi guys! i have the newest Penryn Early 2008 Macbook pro 2.6 and have had an accident with the aluminum of the display housing. I am currently trying to find a compatible case to replace it with. I cant seem to find spare display housing that are made particularly for the new macbook pros for some reason =(
I've heard that there are different moulds of the Display housing since there are 3 different manufacturer for the LCD screen? (LG, SAMSUNG,CHIMEI)
Would the display casings of the older Intel Macbook pro work as long as I match the manufacturer? (e.g. if i have the display casing from a samsung early 2008 macbook pro, would this be compatible with the 2006 or 2007 samsung display housing?)
i have found a case for an older samsung http://www.welovemacs.com/9227221.html and chimei here
http://www.welovemacs.com/9227351.html
Please help me out if you have any idea! thanks in advance =)

There is a service that I have yet to try but it looks pretty reliable and they service macs in virtually every way possible. Go to macservice.com and just follow the steps and choose what you want to repair. For MacBook pro you an get the display housing replaced for about $200, I know that is a bit steep but it's the easiest way to get it repaired. If you do use it let me know how you liked it.

I'd like to replace my hard drive. How do I know what to buy for my 15-inch early 2008 MacBook Pro?

I am out of room on my hard drive. I'd like to get a new hard drive and restore my data to the new drive from Time Machine. How do I know what kind of hard drive to buy for my 15-inch, early 2008 MacBook Pro? Also, how hard is this to do?

I have changed HDDs several times on the old MBP. Currently it has a Hitachi 500 GB HDD that came out of my new one. My adage is that one cannot have too much storage and I think that the 1TB HDD is an excellent choice. Not only do you get generous capacity, the performance should be (theoretically) comparable to a 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD. I will be very surprised if there are compatibility problems.
If you bought the HDD from OWC, you should have received Installation instructions. If not, go to the OWC website and look at the video. I actually downloaded it so that I could hand write the instructions down step by step. Also check out iFixit website. They have step by step instructions that may prove to be useful.
Tools you need: 00 Phillips and #6 Torx Drivers (get good ones). The instructions make mention of a plastic pry bar (spudger). I use a stiff piece of plastic like a credit card.
Tips to keep in mind: Get a large open table space and place a large clean towel on it. That will protect your MBP and when you drop a screw (and you will) it will not bounce far so you will not have to spend an hour looking for it.
As you take out a set of screws, keep them together (I use wide masking tape. The little screws will stick to it.)
Keep the sets in sequence. That will make reassembly much, much easier.
The most difficult steps are removing the keyboard from the MBP body and removing the ribbon cable from the mother board. In case of the former, work from the back (the display) to the front. You will initially have to pry it up and then do a lot of jiggling to remove it. Don't be too timid about it. At the end of the ribbon cable there is a rectangular connector. Use your credit card to remove it. Just pry it off.
The #6 Torx driver is used to take off the 4 mounting pins on the HDD and if I remember correctly there is another place where it is needed, specifically in the battery compartment ( I think). If the instructions don't say so, keep that in mind and inspect the screw before you select the driver.
Good luck and make sure that you don't have parts left over.
Ciao.

Unpredictable reboots on my early 2008 Macbook Pro with Mavericks

Hello,
My situation:
1) First problem I encountered was kernel panic on startup. I fixed it fixed by replacing new AppleSMC.kext by older one from 10.8.* version I suppose (i used KextWizard).
2) Time after time MacBook restarts and then shows white screen with a message "your computer restarted because of a problem" (or something very similar). I'm able to start system after Cmd+Option+P+R and safe mode.
3) If I don't use the way described in point 2, I receive kernel panics with reboot (screenshots made in verbose boot mode attached).
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Having "performed all of the iSight Troubleshooting", you have already reinstalled OS X, Firefox, and Chrome, updated all of them to the latest versions, uninstalled all third-party mirroring software, and tested in more than one OS X login user account.
If you now restart your Mac and launch only Photo Booth, does not the PB window now display the image your camera is viewing?
If the answer is no, even for the simple Photo Booth app, we are left wondering how scratch.mit.edu (a Flash-based web site) can find a working camera when using the Chrome browser.
If the answer is still no, my first suggestion would be to click the "Check Now" button in your  > System Preferences... > Flash > Advanced menu command. If there is a later update, apply it, and test your camera again using Apple's iSight troubleshooting suggestions.
If you were already using the current Flash version, or if updating it does not change any troubleshooting results, I would try reinstalling OS X one more time in case you had a bad download or install on your previous try. Then test again with Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.

2008 MacBook Pro 17" eats airport cards

I have a 2008 MacBook Pro which was under AppleCare support and had it's AirPort card replaced several times. A few weeks after the support expired, again the last card Apple put in started to fail and soon became unusable. The local apple store refused to help despite the long history them having to replace the card over and over. I bought one on eBay and it was fine for four months and then it too failed.
This is very strange but it seems this unit is somehow burning it's AirPort card. I installed a temperature monitor software and the temps looked fine to me. Could it be overvoltage supplied to the card? I've search online and not found any reports of similar issues with this model.
Symptoms:
1: Networking over AirPort stops working. Turning AirPort off and then back on results in it staying off...will not come back on. Hard restart helps but it fails same way a short time later.
2: The system totally freezes. Cursor stops moving, last sound in progress loops. Game graphics (World of Warcraft) sort of keeps going with animations but the UI is non responsive.
Depsite the temps looking ok to me, my feelign is I have not monitored it to much and do not know what is a valid max temp so, maybe it's cooking them. It did seem like letting it cool off helps though, maybe it is just letting it sit for awhile because sometimes just quick restart helped for a while (minutes).
Makes sense? Should I push Apple to get this fixed? They knew it kept destroying AirPort cards and they never fixed that issue.
Note Apple also replaced the motherboard at one point due to NVIDIA GPU issue. Also they replaced the battery as it was swelling so bad it stopped the trackpad button from working.

I suspect a loose cable in the display connection, try cleaning the ports and reconnect the cables.
you can take this to a shop,
or
if you want to DIY, read this guid carefully.

Late 2008 Macbook Pro: Which power adapter?

Hello all. I have a Late 2008 Macbook Pro 15", MacPro5,1. A few months back my dog ate the power adapter (unplugged, thankfully.) I thought I did the proper amount of research to order the correct adapter from a third party on Amazon, because I'm pretty darn broke and need to save every penny I can. When I got the adapter, the connector was different from the one that came with my Macbook Pro. It was 85W, all the numbers matched up, but the style was different. But, the plug worked enough to let me get the work done that I needed, so it didn't concern me too much.
That is, until this cord just stopped working. That's what I get for getting a third party cable from China off Amazon.
So now, I'm trying to research again to make sure I'm getting the right cable, and I want one that's made by Apple, and is exactly like the one that came in the box when I bought my Macbook Pro new. I went to MacSales.com and checked their compatibility pages, and ran into some issues. What is showing as compatible with my Mac is the 85W Magsafe MC556LL/A, but this is shown with the incorrect connector (like the one I got off Amazon.)
When I looked at the other adapters that were available, I found the MagSafe 2 85W MD506LL/A, which has a connector that looks like the original, but it only shows as compatible with 2012+ Retina Display Macbook Pros.
So, do I have to buy the MagSafe that is not like the original that came with my Macbook Pro, or can I get the MagSafe 2 that does match what I got out of the box?
Reference pages from MacSales.com:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MC556LLA/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/MD506LLA/

Thanks! I didn't realize there was a revision, but that makes sense. I guess I don't understand they would change it, then use the original design for the later Retina Display models. Oh well, as long as it works!
On a similar note, is OWC the best option for a cheap Apple-brand adapter? They're selling them for $47, when the cheapest I can find anywhere else is like $75. They seem pretty reputable with all the options and Apple-specific stuff they offer, I just didn't want to make the same mistake again and would like other options if they are available.
Thanks again!
