Can i use Airdrop on late 2009 macbook unibody ?

Hello,
I am using A1342 late 2009 unibody macbook(OS X Yosemite) and I want to share my photos to my iPad mini (IOS 8.1) via Airdrop but I am unable to do and Handoff too.
I tried myself by restarting both the devices many times but always got the same result.
Kindly revert me on this.

System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.

Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

Can I use 27' iMac(Later 2009) as a display for Mac Pro(future 2013)?

See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
To be able to use the iMac as an external display, the Mac Pro should come with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, so think that it will include Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, although we don't know anything.
To connect the iMac to the Mac Pro, as your iMac has got a Mini DisplayPort, you have to use a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable (Thunderbolt is compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables, but Mini DisplayPort isn't compatible with Thunderbolt cables). Then, just follow the steps of the page above to use the iMac as an external display

Best monitor to hook up to my late 2009 macbook unibody? £400 budget

Does anyone have any reccomendations?
I would like anything from 24" upwards.I only have a mini display port out on my macbook, which i connect to a DVI to HDMI adaptor for viewing on my TV... will the HDMI connection give me a crisp enough picture on the monitor?
cheers

Try mini display to HDMI cable. Also check to the right "More Like This">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The mini port should behave much as the Thunderbolt.

I have a late 2009 macbook and was curious if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if its worth it??

I have a late 2009 Macbook Unibody and was curious about upgrading the processor. I just installed 8gigs of ram and was thinking about just trying to make it really fast. I am always in Adobe CS5.5 for my job and want my computer to be as fast as I can make it. Is it possible to install a new processor and is it worth it??
Thanks

No, the processor and the video card are integrated into the logic board.

How big (GB) of a hard drive can my late 2009 MacBook handle?

I'm looking to upgrade my internal hard drive in my late 2009 MacBook and I want to know what is the highest GB that can be supported?

I have a late 2009 MacBook White with 4GB Ram and running on Lion.
I just installed a 750 GB Seagate Momentus XT with 8 GB SSD hybrid drive. It was no trouble and works fast and perfect!
Just make a new partition on the new disk, clone your current HD to the new disk (I used Carbon Copy Clone) and then replace. Simple as that!
It just makes a bit more noise and battery life is shortened because of the specs of the Seagate HD.
I hope this was helpfull.

Can i upgrade cpu of my late 2009 macbook from intel core 2 duo to intel i5 for i7?

My macbook is a late 2009 macbook with 2.26GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB DDR3 memory. Can I upgrade its processor to latest dual-core intel i7 processors?

However drop an SSD in that puppy and bump the RAM to 8 GB and you'll never miss the i5 or i7 processor.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

Connecting my Late 2009 Macbook to a Samsung Series 5 TV

So I'm trying to connect my Late 2009 Macbook upto my Series 5 Samsung TV and I've stumbled across a bit (a lot!) of difficulty.
I have the picture coming through perfectly on my MiniDisplayport to HDMI connection but I can't for the life of me work out how to get the sound through as well. I have literally every cable at my disposal at the minute, RCA to audio, optical with a TOSlink connector and a standard 3.5mm audio cable. I assumed the optical to TOSlink connector would be my best option but no such look, I've tried every combination I can think of. Whenever I connect the TOSlink connector in, the sound icon greys out immediately and my TV doesn't appear in the Output list.
I'm really hoping somebody would be able to help me out, I'm fast running out of options, something I thought might be a good idea is quickly turning into a bit of a pain...

The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
Check your TV manual though to see if it might have audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation. I will post my computer's 'specs' below. I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store. The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed. I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2.
The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app. I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there. That fixed the problem. For about three or four days. From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument). My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out. That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online.
So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said. They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board. This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone.
So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion. Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install. This helped for a day or two, and happened again. So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install. I got my computer back last night. Now, I am not saying that didn't help. Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours. Which, let's be honest is still a lot.
So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas? Or guarenteed fixes? I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people. Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
[Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome. Especially DIY fixes. (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]

Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

We're sorry.

Difficulty with software update on my late 2009 macbook

Software update version 10.6.6 would not install until I reinstalled snow leopard from the install disk. This is a late 2009 macbook with 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Before reinstalling snow leopard I tried repairing disk permissions. There is plenty of room on the hard drive, only about half full. The update would just show the blue bar forever. I have two iMacs and they had no problem with the update. I had to do the same thing with the last software update 10.6.5, reinstalling snow leopard before the update would install. What could be causing this, how can I get rid of this problem of difficult updates? It is tedious to have to reinstall snow leopard each time there is an update.

it finds 11 updates.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. Install 2-3 updates at a time. Repair permissions & restart after each installation.
Never install more than 3 updates at a time. Your system will thank you.

Mini DV to late 2009 Macbook?

How do I transfer video from the Sony HDR-HC3 HDV 1080i mini DV camcorder to my late 2009 MacBook? Although I have the OS X 10.8.4, this Mac has no Firewire and no Thunderbolt.
I do have a friend with a MacBook Pro. If I purchase a Belkin 6' FireWire Cable (4-pin/6-pin) would that work with a MacBook Pro and my camera? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Belkin-6-FireWire-Cable-4-pin-6-pin/3756912
Do I also need an adaptor for the camera to work with this cable?

Depends on whether the MBP has FW400 or FW800. If the latter, you either need a 4 pin to 9 pin cable or an adaptor to use with a 4 pin to 6 pin.
I didn't realize there were any Macs that had neither FW nor Tb. Presumably they assumed that anyone editing video on those machines would be using file-based media.
Good luck.

No Firewire on Late 2009 MacBook

It's official. Apple isn't listening. No Firewire on Late 2009 MacBook.
Hoping to see FW800, got nothing instead.
No target disk mode or DV? No sale.

After the uproar last time, I don't see the point. They aren't listening or don't care. Apple wants users to compromise basic, critical functionality when they buy a $999 MacBook.
Agreed! I can see dropping Firewire off a $449 laptop, but the MacBook?
Oh wait... you CAN still get Firewire on a $449 laptop:
