2009 MacBook Pro 10.5.8 Upgrade?

Hello,
I have a 2009 MacbookPro with 4 GB Memory, 1067 MHz DDR3. The processor is 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. The current operating system is 10.5.8 and has never been upgraded. I need to upgrade (eventually to 10.7) bc 1) I just got a replacement ipod 7th generation after mine was stolen this week, but in order for this to work, I need to upgrade Itunes, which I can't do with my current 10.5.8 OS X.
From what I've read, I will first need to download OS X 10.6.8, and then I can eventually get up to Mountan Lion. Is there a way to download the Snow Lepeord or whatever the 10.6.8 software is online? or do I need to order the physical box of software and install? and THEN download Mountain Lion from Mac Apps for $20.?
Essentially - what is the most cost/time efficient way to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 (as an intermediate step) and then subsequently upgrade to Mountain Lion?
- Also, during these download options is there a real risk of losing all my data? I've backed up what I can, but only with flash drives, I don't have a good external hard drive. Or can I use Cloud with my current 10.5.8 software?
(PS Not sure if this is relevant, but I'm also purchasing a third generation Ipad today bc my school is having a sale and I want to use it for consolidating my graduate school papers, lectures, notes, and readings using the Notability app with Stylus pen. I'm assuming having the newest operating system on my Macbook Pro will lend itself to easy transitions with the Ipad III.)
Thank you so very much for your time and your thoughts!!
- LL

You can purchase Snow Leopard (I think it's still 10.6.3) on a DVD from the Apple Store. Then run Software Update to get the 10.6.8 "Combo" updater.
Once you have 10.6.8 you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) using the App Store application.
Buy a cheap external hard drive, format it using Disk Utility, and move your most important files (iMovie, iPhoto and iTunes Library folders) via drag and drop.

    Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS.  The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you.  You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it.  Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.

  • Mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13 Hard Drive Upgrade Questions

    I bought an upgraded hard drive for my mid-2009 MBP 13. I've done some reading and it appears that my model of MBP shouldn't have drive issues, but I still have a few questions that I'm hoping someone will answer. Perhaps this will all boil down to a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. That is, I may be worried without good reason. If so, I apologize ahead of time.
    MacBook Pro 5,5
    2.26 GHz
    4GB RAM
    10.6.3
    Firmware version is: EFI64
    The stock drive is a TOSHIBA MK1655GSXF (160 GB):
    The new hard drive is the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB 5400 RPM drive.
    I noticed that the temperature seemed to spike after installing the new drive. I didn't get the temperature of the hard drive before I took it out, but the CPU was consistently around 170 degrees Fahrenheit and the fan was in the 2,800-2,900 RPM range.
    After putting the stock drive back in the MBP, the temps are consistently 142-145 degrees F for the CPU and 95-97 degrees F for the hard drive. The fan is right around 2,000 RPM.
    I've read a bit about outrageous load cycles and just wanted to check the numbers.
    The WD Scorpio Blue around 4,055 after 27 power on hours.
    The stock drive was at last count, at 206701 after 2215 power on hours.
    The machine is doing comparable things, downloading podcasts, Time Machine backups, browsing, etc.
    The general questions, I have are:
    Is the temperature supposed to spike like that when handling a larger drive?
    If so, what is a reasonable range? I know I don't have the temperature of the new drive, but if I knew what to expect, I guess I would be more confident putting the new drive back in and not returning it.
    What's a normal/healthy/reasonable (don't really know the term I'm grasping for) load cycle to see? I divided the load cycles by the number of power on hours and get around 150 for the WD and 93 for the Toshiba. Are either of those outrageously good or bad? I haven't been able to tell in my reading.
    The bottom-line questions are:
    Am I just overreacting based on what I've read? Or, is something not kosher and should I return the new drive and get something else? Should I try hdapm or something? If I should return the drive, any recommendations?
    I've talked your collective ear off, I'm sure.
    Thank you in advance for your responses.
    Cheers,
    Rob

    For what it's worth I've put aftermarket 7200 rpm hard drives in 2006 and 2008 15" MBP's and also a WD Scorpio Black 320GB in a 2009 13" MBP 2.53GHz and have had no changes in cpu temp or fan speed. Your fan speeds and cpu temp with the new drive sound too high. Something else is going on here. The temp is not supposed to spike when handling a larger drive. Maybe it's something like
    Spotlight indexing the new drive? Have a look at your Activity Monitor for an active process drawing resources with the new drive.

  • I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. Does anyone else have issues with their laptop having problems starting when shut off or restarting when asleep since installing Yosemite?

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which I have upgraded a few things on. I have updated to Yosemite and am having problems with getting my laptop to come out of sleep mode, and to start when shut off. Any ideas of what this might be or how to correct it? Is this more probably a hardware issue or software?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Download and install the 10.10.1 update.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

    I recently had to replace my 2009 Macbook Pro's hard drive.  I had the apple store upgrade the OS to Mountain Lion while it was in being repaired.  I want to restore all of my old data and files.  If I perform a restore from Time Machine, with a date prior to having the hard drive replaced, will it revert back to the old OS?

    No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

    After you restore from TM, check HD > Incompatible Software

  • Can I upgrade the HD on my mid 2009 macbook pro 13" to a SSD higher than 256gb?

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13". I use it every day for school since september of 2009. I have a HUGE iTunes library (around 150gb) and I use DAW software to create music. I'm looking to upgrade from my current 250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive to a larger SSD. I want to do this for the speed of an SSD and I need more hard drive space. Is there anyway to upgrade my macbook to a SSD in the ballpark of 500GB-1TB?? On Apple's technical spesifications it says I cannot upgrade to an SDD with more than 256GB. Is this really true or is there any way around this?
    Thanks in advance!

    The tech specs list the upgrades that were available from Apple when that model was being sold new. They don't necessarily reflect the aftermarket-upgradabaility. I don't believe there'd be any reason you couldn't put a hard drive/SSD of whatever capacity you want in that MBP (of course it needs to be the right physical size).
    That being said, it's good practice to make sure you have a window to return it just in case.
    Yeah what Bob said.

  • My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

    So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
    I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
    Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
    The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
    After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
    After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
    HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

    UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
    Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

  • Am I able to upgrade the operating software on my 2009 Macbook Pro to work with Mavericks?

    I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 4 GB of Ram. Am I able to upgrade the software enough to support Mavericks and other software?

    Yes, but you have a couple major caveats:
    Rosetta is gone:
    http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
    Many drivers may not work.
    And you have to buy 10.6 first, then upgrade to 10.6.8, to get the free 10.9 update, then the 10.9.2 update to avoid the security leaks of the first two versions of 10.9.

  • Upgrading RAM in Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.

    I currently have the standard 4gig of RAM in my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and would like to up upgrade to 8 or 12gig. Apple states max is 8gig but I have a friend who quadroupled the RAM (way beyond what apple state is the max) in his machine and hasn't had any problems. I remember some time ago with Windows Vista (or was it XP?)
    2 questions...
    1) RAM from Apple is very expensive, are cheaper alternatives just as good or worth the risk? If so, could someone point me in the direction of a cheaper alternative?
    2) What is the max amount of RAM I can put in to my machine? I remember some time ago with Windows Vista (or was it XP?) that the OS could only actually utilise a certain amount of RAM so installing any more than this was a false economy. Could this also be the case with Mac OS X?

  • HT5444 I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro.  Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro.  Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    In ways, Mountain Lion is a more efficient operating system than Lion, however, if you are happy with Lion and it meets all of your needs, there is o reason to change.  You can easily enough compare the features of the two and see if you are missing something that is important to you.  And then decide if you want to change.

  • Upgrading Ram on mid 2009 MacBook Pro.

    I have a mid 2009 Macbook pro. I currently have 2g of ram and am going to upgrade to 8g. What will i notice a difference in after installing the ram? If you need any info please let me know.
    Thanks,

    It depends.  I would say you would definitely have a better user experience with 4gb as I see you are running Lion.  However, 8gb may be unnecessary.  See if you would even benefit from more ram:http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/how_to_tell_if_your_mac_needs_more_ram/

  • My mid-2009 MacBook Pro's hard drive is near death. I want to install a new SSD and work from scratch. Please help.

    Recently, my mid-2009 MacBook Pro has been crashing when I close the screen ("it's having a problem recognizing when the screen is closed/open and deciding what to do, error overload etc.").  It wasn't an SMC issue so I took it to an Apple Store, ran some tests, and decided my hard-drive is failing.
    Not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on some "official apple hard-drive," I want to install a new 256GB SSD instead.  Hoping to squeeze as much life out of this computer as possible (in January I upgraded from 4 GB RAM to 8 GB), I would like to try and start from scratch, i.e. back-up important folders, music, photos etc. and only take that to the new hard-drive.  If someone could explain all the steps I need to take to safely complete this task (or point me in the direction of a guide) I'd appreciate it.
    Potentially Important info:
         Model:                mid-2009 13'' MacBook Pro
         Processor:          2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
         Memory:             4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
         Software:            OS X 10.8.4
    Some additional questions I have...
         Should I be concerned with making a fully bootable back-up (not sure what that is called) as well?  If so, what program should I use to create it?
         How much more life should I try and push out of this computer?  I'm an engineering student and really only use it for web-surfing, music, and
              word-processing.  The batter was replaced in March, the RAM was upgraded to 8 GB in January.  When the battery was swapped, the trackpad went           nuts so that's new too.  Only other issues are a slightly loose audio jack and the left side of the screen being slightly wobbly (hinge is worn I'm told).

    Well there is no "official Apple HD / SSD" in any regard, no worries there.
    If as you say youre only using same for surfing and word processing, why the need for a SSD? You would not notice any speed diff. in use on either of those,....in boot times yes, but in word or surfing, not.
    You can push it likely a few more years, for mere surfing and word processing,...many many years.   Up TO the point that any major fixes become unrealistic relative to getting a new(ER) machine.
    Concerned with a boot clone?  yes and no.  Its an ideal immediate recovery, since you cannot boot from Time Machine, ....in case of HD crash, recovery takes seconds from boot, or 20 mins or so from removing old and installing a clone. All the prosumers and pros have at least one updated clone of their prime machines.
    You can do a "fresh install" if you choose, however if your current drive is FINE, why not merely clone it and save yourself some headache?...., but that is your prerogative of course.    Ideally 2 drives, one to backup your data (you need that regardless of installing a new drive for sake of a backup/archive,...ideally 2 actually, not merely one).
    You could clone internal to NEW SSD/HD , ...then offload unnecessary files to an external to free up space and clutter and run off the clone, and this would only take a couple hours......the clone itself takes approx. 40+ mins.
    CLONE Apps :
    Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

  • I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,3 Unibody that won't run anything past Leopard.

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,3 Unibody that suffered a minor liquid spill.  After waiting for it to dry out, we found that it powers up (but the display doesn't work unless connected to an external monitor) just fine.  For several months it worked like a tank running Snow Leopard.  I upgraded to Lion with no problems.  Once the 10.7.1 update came out, it completely flipped out and wouldn't finish the install.  I was forced to take it all the way back to Leopard and now it won't upgrade past Leopard.  I replaced the hard drive completely and tried a fresh install of Lion using the thumb drive and that didn't work either.  I got the set of errors you will find below.  (Sorry, I don't know how to hide them like you can in some forums.)  Any ideas or suggestions on why it won't install Lion would be great.  I'm not so concerned about the display as wondering why it worked for 4 months and then another month on Lion and then suddenly flipped out on me.  I'm not knowledgeable enough to decipher the message below.
