2008 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 Randomly restarts

I have a 2008 Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 and it randomly tells me I need to restart while I'm in the middle of doing something. It's not consistant with any specific program I don't think (possibly firefox). The gray screen comes up telling me there was a problem and I need to restart my computer. Sometimes it happens multiple times in a sitting. Any solutions?
It does seem to overheat a lot, but I don't know if that's directly related or separate.

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
Follow those steps TO THE LETTER. They'll have you running again soon.

I have a MacBook Pro on 10.8.3 which is randomly crashing and restarting. The error log indicates it may have something to do with X11, but X11 is not actually installed. It is available to install under Utilities but has never been run. Following is the error log:

MacBook Pro 15 inch Mid-2010 keeps randomly restarting

So, I got this Macbook back in August of 2010, and this random restart problem just started occuring after I updated to Mountain Lion. It usually occurs when I open up heavy usage applications, such as Photoshop, iMovie, iPhoto, FaceTime,etc. When I just solely decide to turn on my MacBook to just use Safari and iTunes, it never restarts, or it will once in a blue moon. Also read a page Apple posted about MacBook Pro 15 inch Mid-2010's having problems and that they would fix it free of charge, but I'm not sure if that relates to my problem? --link here --> http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4088
I tried resetting the SMC, and NVRAM/PRAM. Even verfied disk permissions and repaired on Disk Utility, nothing changed.
Could anyone help?

New macbook pro battery for late 2008 macbook pro dies fast.

I have a late 2008 macbook pro 2.4 HGz Intet Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of ram. I've had it since 2009 and just got a new battery, as the old one finally gave up. That being said, the new battery dies quite fast and I'm not sure why. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thank you

Only problem is that maybe the battery you were sold was manufactured around the same time as the Mac. And LiPo batteries die because of old age as well as use. Take it out and carefully examine all markings, especially anything that can date when it was made, like copyrights or such.
With that evidence you can go back and demand a refund.

How can I connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv through HDMI?

I was wondering if there is a way to connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv using an HDMI port. My MacBook Pro has a DVI output. In the past I bought a DVI to VGA adapter and connected it to a TV that had a PC input that took VGA and a 3.5mm audio cable. I was wondering if anybody has found an adapter or cable that takes a DVI and 3.5 mm audio cord and has only an HDMI cord at the other end. I have a new TV that only has HDMI inputs and would like to be able to connect my laptop to it.

Since you have not identified exactly what MBP you have, but mention DVI, I suspect a cable such as this is what you will need.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380694416929?lpid=82
Understand that 2009 MBPs and earlier do not support audio via DVI or minidisplay port. You would have to tap the audio output port with a cable such as this:

I am not endorsing these cable specifically, these are just examples that represent what connections that are required.

Things to note:
I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

How do I connect my 2008 macBook Pro to my new iMac?

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro ( model 1261 ), and I want to use my iMac as an external monitor. The laptop has a DVI output, but no thunderbolt port, and I have tried connecting the two computers via the DVI on the laptop, and the thunderbolt port on the iMac with the appropriate cable. Unfortunately, this didn't work, ( unless I did something wrong ). I went into system preferences, but it wasn't telling me that there another screen to prioritise. Am I using the wrong cable/ports, or doing something wrong in the set-up?
Any help will be much appreciated
Many thanks....Nick

Thanks for the reply, the iMac model is iMac12,1. late 2011. I should add that I'm not a "techy", so try and keep it simple please .
Thanks again

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.

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS. The screen died and it's not worth replacing. How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS. The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model. I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need? What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases. How can I accomplish this?
My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive. Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
I know this is lengthy. Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later. A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

Tried the "Apple Bake" on my early 2008 macbook pro and it worked, does that mean for certain it is my Nividia chip that is bad?

So I had my early 2008 macbook pro (A1260) not wake up after clamshell sleep. After researching the boards felt confident it was the logicboard issue. Not being able to afford a replacement I decided to try the "apple bake", as I have been employed as a maintenance tech for a corrugation company and was comfortable doing the work myself. Anyhow it worked (350 degree f - 8mins) and my mac was back to life working as normal except for the fans running at %100 all the time. The fix was short lived, only lasted about 5 weeks and wouldnt wake up from sleep again. (yes, I applied new thermal paste the first time haha) I did the bake again and again it was revived this time fans working properly (still not sure what that was about) I have since had to do it one more time and now I just dont ever close it or let it go to sleep. I found a guy online who will replace the gpu for a good price ($150), my question is, is it actually the Nividia chip thats the issue and not something else? Is there any other issue that would be reolved by doing the bake and Im just thinking its the faulty 8600 geforce chip?
Macbook Pro 4,1 - 10.6.8 - 2.6ghz Core 2 Duo - 4gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Other issues I had aside from not waking up from sleep
-Strange feedback noise coming from speakers in between any audio being played. (intermittent) any audio will stop the noise. (might be unrelated)
-Dark lines from bottom of screen to top. Screen reset will fix (shift+cntrl+eject)
-Pixeleation when gaming (intermittent)
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I have a early 2008 Macbook Pro, need to up grade the hard drive so that I can add a windows environment what is the largest drive that I can put in this computer? Is the storage size the constraint or the physical size of the drive? Or a combination?

I have a early 2008 Macbook Pro, need to up grade the hard drive so that I can add a windows environment what is the largest drive that I can put in this computer? Is the storage size the constraint or the physical size of the drive? Or a combination?

The largest capacity HDD that you can install is the HGST 1.5 TB HDD:

Any 2.5" 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will fit and operate in your MBP, regardless of capacity.

Renewing a Late 2008 MacBook Pro: hard drive and battery substitution

Hi all,
I am an happy user of a late 2008 MacBook pro.
However, with the passing of time, it became slow and the battery also deteriorate (it still quite OK, but it is not like at the beginning).
But let's start from the beginning: the hard drive
By googling for a while, I noticed that several people experienced very slow performance of their late 2008 MacBook Pro. That is also my case. Apparently, this is due to the hard disk which is dying, and then I considering to change it. However, I haven't found answers to these questions:
- Is it possible to mirror all the containt of the current disk to the new one?
- I only have the original installation disks of the first Leopard. I made all the updates through the network. Moreover, since it passed lot of time, I am afraid that some sector of the installation disks may be damaged. This means that I may fail in the installation of Mac Os X on the new hard drive. If I have to reinstall everything from scratch with the new hard drive and without installation disks, how should I do?
- If I go a Mac Reseller shop, will do they perform this operation? And how much does it costs to make it? Or I may also go to some generic computer reparation guy?
- Is it convenient to save all the data (movies, documents, pictures, emails, etc) somewhere (e.g. external HD) and then perform a completely new installation?
Next, let's consider the battery.
Here is a screenshot taken with iStat Pro:
Do you think it is worth changing it? From System Profile I have those other info:
Full charge capacity (mAh):          3386
       Current (mA):          846
       Voltage (mV):          12029
Condition:          Replace soon
What do you suggest to do then? How much does it cost a new battery? Actually, I think that also the processor performance deteriorate (it often becomes very hot, especially when watching Flash or Silverlight stuff), but, unfortunately I cannot change it.

Hi!
Thanks for all the answer. Please let me to resume this old and interesting discussion.
After having evaluated several solutions (including NAS, different ways of backup, etc) I bought an external firewire HDD, since I believe it nicely fits my necessities. Next, after these holidays, I will finally replace my old HDD with a SSD one. I think 120 GB are ok. I just need the apps and small-sized documents (rather LaTeX, Matlab, word, pages or excel documents, etc. - no movies or mp3 (I have Spotify, for that) ). Large files (e.g. movies, pictures, etc) may end up in external firewire HDD.
Now, let's consider the OS. I currently have 10.6.8 and I am very satisfied of that. I find it very stable, and all the apps I need are still well supported. On the other hand, given that there are like 5 years that I have the same installation, I may have a lot of obsolete files and setting that I can safely remove. This means that once I will have performed a backup of my documents, my email, my pictures etc. I can safely throw away all the rest. Hence, I may perform a brand-new installation of the OS. Although I am happy with 10.6.8, I was wondering if it is worth to upgrade it (I have a 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 RAM) to Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavricks. In that case, which would be the real benefits? And what about the cons?
Finally consider that I only have the Leopard installation disks from 2008 (not even Snow Leopard) and I will bring my laptop to a techician to change the HDD (I know, it is simple but I don't have all the screws etc. and I will not buy them only for this purpose). Once he will have replaced the HDD, will he re-install the OS also? Or I have to reinstall the OS through my original DVD (5 years old, I don't even know if they still work) and upgrade to Snow Leopard again by myself? I would exclude the carbon copy solution since I may want to throw away a lot of garbage and perform a brand new instalation of the OS. How to proceed? Thanks again!
