  • Early 2008 15" Macbook Pro acting very strange

    So long story short, I bought a used early 2008 15" Macbook Pro and I keep having issues with it. I replaced the hard drive, replaced the thermal paste (after removing the old paste of course), cleaned her inside and out, updated software, firmware, & reset the pram/smc. None have totally solved the issues. I constantly have files from the hard drive disappear, then reappear whenever they want. The backlighting on the keyboard doesn't want to work if I am doing multiple things like, iTunes, TuneUp, & surfing the net, it just suddenly stops and if I try to activate by using the F6  on the keyboard I get a symbol of a circle with a line through it. The only way to get the keyboard to light up again is to reboot it. The hard drive I replaced with the old one is 500 gigs at 7200, 32mb cache. She also warms up rather quickly even though I used the artic silver thermal paste. I can never seem to get her temp below 45-55 Celsius. I even took apart the tiny internal fans and cleaned them thoroughly. I build desktop systems as well as repair laptops so I do know more than the average user but I am at a total loss here on what else could be the cause of all this strange behavior. I don't know what, if anything the previous owner did with it, which makes it even harder to figure out. Could this be a logic board or power supply issue? There are no other problems with power other then needing to replace the battery, but since it is plugged in everytime I use it, I really don't think this is the cause. Any suggestions are welcomed :-)

  • Can I upgrade memory on Macbook Pro 13" 2.5GHz 4GB RAM, Model Z0MT7B/A

    I have ordered a Macbook Pro from a retailer here in the UK. It ships with 4GB RAM but I know I will 8gb or possibly 16GB.
    Does anyone know whether the memory is removable and changeable in this model, as it used to be in earlier Macbook Pro 13" models?

    I'm pretty sure you can upgrade to 8, 12, or 16. As I'm looking on Other World Computing I'm seeing that for Macbook Pro's 13", 2012 - Current there are upgrades available in the sizes I mentioned. It stands to reason that the memory is changeable, seeing as how there are memory upgrades available and even videos to show you how to change the memory.

  • I've connected my external monitor (LG) to my new Macbook Pro 15" laptop, using the adaptor for VGA...the display now has a large black bar along the left side.  No adjustment on the monitor will fix it, no "options" on System Prefs either...any ideas?

    I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro, and connected it ot my external monitor (24" LG HD) using an Apple VGA adaptor.  The only resolution that looks good is the 1920 x 1080, but the image does not entirely fill the screen.  There is a large black gap on the left side of the screen now.  It worked fine with my "last generation" Macbook Pro...no adjustment on the monitor will help, and cannot find any System Setting in displays such as "options" or widescreen setting.  I've gone to the LG site, but no "Mac" related tech support issues come up...no forum here seems to deal with this particular issue either...any ideas?

    I have the same thing but with a 23 inch HP, worked fine with my MBP 13 from 2009 but the 2011 2.4 i5 does the exact same thing as yours!
    Very confused and hoping that some one else can help.
    Thanks

  • My Late 2008 17" MacBook Pro isn't reinstalling.

    I bought an (early 2008) 17" MacBook Pro from my brother about 1 week ago. I want to reinstall it. When I insert "Disc 1" in to the Superdrive I then click on "Install Mac OS X and Software Bundles". Then I click on restart. When I restarts it just shows an  Logo and a spinning gear. I have waited over 1 hour and 30 minutes but no luck. Can Some one please help me out? Also since it doesn't reboot from the disc, when i purchase Mac OS X Snow Leopard will I have a problem installing it?

    Restart the computer while holding the C key down. This way you'll start to the restore disk 1 instead of your hard drive.

  • Fan like noise - Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch - late 2013 model

    If I open Frontline Commando (game app) my brandnew Mackbook pro make fan like noise. (annoying and scary) Could anyone advice please?
    my sys configuration:
    Model - Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch - late 2013 model
    RAM - 8 GB
    Processor - 2.4 GHz intel core i5
    OS - OS X 10.9.1

    Normal during gaming use, fan noise.
    A: you notice it more in a quiet room (the typical case) which is normal, all is AOK
    B: fuzz and dust has caked onto the blades causing the fan hub to get off balance and make a buzzing sound.
    C: fan rotor is going bad and making a whirring or buzz noise (rare).
    D: Fan is spinning up due to excess heat from gaming, heavy graphics gaming (typical, all is OK)
    A and D are normal
    B and C are not.

  • I am going to get a used 2008-2009 macbook pro, I am wondering if I can update it to work like a brand new macboook?

    I currently have a Dell computer that I have had for a few years and I don't like it.  I want to get the macbook pro 15" but they are out of my budget.  I think the best option would be a used one probably from 2008-2009.  I'm hoping that I can update the software so it works like a brand new macbook.  And in the fall, will I be able to update it to Yosemite? Please let me know if you know of any other ways to get a macbook cheaper.

    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    See the above for what you need if you want to run Mavericks or Yosemite. I would recommend sticking with a 2009 model. Avoid the 2010 models because they have had awful GPU failure issues. Late 2011 is a pretty reliable model. Stick with models that will accept at least up to 8 GBs of RAM. This should include all that I have suggested.
    You can upgrade the HDDs and/or add an SSD, but you can't change the CPUs or GPUs, so they will not be as fast as a new model.

  • You can't upgrade to a 7200rpm hard drive in the Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro. It is not supported. Period.

    I tried unsuccesfully to upgrade the hard drive in my Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro to a 750GB 7200RPM hard drive. After several attempts with different hard drives I realized that the kernel panic that showed up was due to the lack of compatibility with the drives to the MacBook Pro. I had a Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro that I did not have any issues with whatsoever. I sold that MacBook Pro and was able to upgrade to the brand new base model without any out of pocket cost. Upon purchase of the new 13" MBP I maxed out the RAM to the full 8GB. After 2 months of freezing, lockups, spinning rainbow wheels and having to force shutdown I tried one last ditch effort to see if a faster drive would help. After speaking with the Apple telephone reps and the Apple Store Genius Bar we discovered that Apple doesn't even offer the option of a 7200RPM drive on their website - a fact that I found quite disturbing. The concensus is that it is a power management issue that causes the incompatibility and the reason the drives are not offered on the 13" models. The problems I had were the end of the line for me. I just switched out that train wreck for the Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro base model. I got home and immediately installed the 750 GB 7200RPM Western Digital Scorpio Black hard drive and it was recognized within seconds. I'm back in business with gleeful abandon.

    Sadly... they don't have all the answers. As someone who use to serve in the capacity (Mac Genius) it can definitely be a challenging position. You're "the voice" of Apple's service policy & procedures. Sounds like the person you spoke with got it wrong this time. It's definitely worth a follow up, because like I said, I've got a machine in my household that's living proof of compatibility between a 7200 RPM drive and 13" MBP (Early 2011).
    Apple is very good about support documentation when there's incompatibility or unsupported configurations, the fact that there isn't one for 7200 RPM drives would tell me that the people/person you spoke with was misinformed.
    I know I always appreciated when a customer made it known to me that I was wrong on something and supplied the right answer. I sure as heck don't have all the answers and if I can lead from my mistakes, well, I won't make them anymore.

  • HT202575 I have a black macbook purchased in early 2008, will I be able to run Mountain Lion or any later editions of the OS? I currently have 10.6.8

    Hello,
    I have a black macbook purchased in early 2008, and I'm wondering if it has the capability of supporting 10.7 or any later editions of the iOS.
    I've upgraded the ram and the HD, so the current specs are:
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2
    Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2
    HD: 1 TB
    Graphics: Intel GMA x3100

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free.

        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements

             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • Early 2013 13" MacBook Pro runs slow and uses a lot of RAM, why and what can be done?

    Problem description:
    My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. I’m looking for suggestions on what I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine? Please help with anything that I can do to make it better! Thanks in advance!
    I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions.
    Here are the EntreCheck results:

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • How large of a hard drive can i put in my Macbook Pro (early 2011)

    how large of a hard drive can i put in my Macbook Pro (early 2011) and where can i get one?

    You can find answers to both at OWC as well as installation tutorials. I think you will find 1 to 1.5 TBs are the largest.

  • Can I fit a 1TB HDD into a MacBook Pro 17" 2.4GHz which was released in mid 2007? There are 1TB HDD available but they are 12.5" high. Will they fit this model MacBook Pro?

    Sorry, 12.5mm high not 12.5" high!

  • Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't.

    Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

    Hi dwightfontenot-
    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
    To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
    Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

    Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
    My MacBook is too old and  can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
    It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
    There were no cautions or warnings
    Are there any work arounds?
    Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
    Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

    Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
    Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
    I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
    I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
    A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy.  Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
    Don't go windows,  you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it,  get a new macbook, enjoy.
