Can't enable Handoff in my macbook pro mid 2009

hey buddies
I finally upgraded to OS X Yosemite with my macbook pro mid 2009 but.. i kind of upgrade because the handoff and continuity options paired to my iphone 5
I see in many reviews and blogs that I need to open System preferences > General > Allow handoff.. but THERE'S NO ALLOW HANDOFF option....
here in the picture below you can see that there's no option for that..
what should I do? is there any issue with that?

There is a tool available, unsupported by apple that enables this feature on older Macs. I have not tried it yet as I don't have iOS 8.1 installed, but people are claiming it works to enable on unsupported systems. As usual, use at your own risk. https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool/

  • Where can i find ram for 13" macbook pro mid 2009?

    I upgraded from 2G to 4G 2-3 years ago. Now I'd like to go to 8G, but Apple doesn't appear to be selling it anymore.
    Any suggestions for a reliable 3rd party solution?
    Here's a few specs of my Macbook Pro:

    Processor  2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Thanks,
    Ty

    Thanks very much!
    Crucial looks good. Can't believe how inexpensive RAM has gotten for this MAC!
    I also saw they have a Seagate 1TB internal hard-drive for $105?
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Apple/macbook-pro-%2813-inc h%2C-mid-2009%29
    Considering I only have 160gb internal right now, that's pretty hard to pass up too.

  • Can intel 520 series SSD be installed in macbook pro mid 2009

    This is some of the information for the 180g SSD I want to replace my HD in my 13" macbook pro mid 2009
    25nm NAND Flash Memory
    2.5” form factor
    SATA 6.0 Gb/s performance
    My computer though has this information for its hard drive:
    Product:          MCP79 AHCI
      Link Speed:          3 Gigabit
      Negotiated Link Speed:          1.5 Gigabit
      Description:          AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
    I know that the SATA 6.0 will be backwards compatible with my connection, but I was wondering if I am going to hit any problems. I am going to do a full time machine backup so I can have everything cloned onto the SSD, but want to know before I buy the SSD

    Recently installed same type of SSD (Intel 520 120GB) in our 2010 Macbook (white) and runs just as well as its big bro. No problems at all. Storage isn't an issue since most stuff's in the cloud these days and we carry large files around on a USB stick. Way to go!

  • Can i install 1TB to macbook pro mid 2009

    hello,
    i have a macbook pro mid 2009, 2.66ghz 2 duo and i want to install a new HDD
    can i install 1TB??
    what is the biggest HDD storage that the notebook can handle??
    and how do i install my mac os x to the new HDD?
    thank you.

    The MacBook Pro's take 2.5" SATA hard drives. If you are going to replace the drive, now would be the time to upgrade to a 7200rpm drive; about the largest capacity you will find is 750GB.  Also, since this will be your main hard drive, stay away from any green or blue drives; the supposed energy saving features will also reduce performance.   May I suggest looking at OWC for their recommendations about hard drives for your specific model MBP.
    You install OS X via the recovery DVDs that came with your MBP.  One is for OS X, the other contains the Apple applications (iLife, etc).  Of course, that will install the version of OS X that originally came with your MBP (a 2009 MBP probably came with Leopard 10.5).  If you don't have the recovery DVDs, or want to install a later version of OS X, then I suppose you will need to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD and install that before upgrading to Mt. Lion.

  • Mountain lion is better in performance than the snow leopard in macbook pro mid 2009? Can anyone tell me your experience?

    They are probably about the same based on benchmarks.

    I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit in my Macbook Pro Mid 2009 using Bootcamp 5.1.2 and from the beginning the sound is not working and cant adjust the brightness either. Tried installing all the drivers that people recommended from Realtek, nVidia and nothing has help me fixed the problem. is there a way that i could fix those problems?

    Look in the Boot Camp system requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Find your computer model and year. I think you will find that you should be using version 4 of the Windows support software.

  • MacBook Pro mid 2009 HDD to a Kingston SSD SATA drive - Problems

    Hi
    I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I'm running OSX Mavericks with Windows 8.1 Pro Bootcamp.  I wanted to upgrade to an SSD drive and after reading the great reviews on Amazon, I purchased a Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" V300 SATA 3.
    Many of the buyers had installed the SSD drive on Macbook Pro, including "mid 2009' models without any real problems but I've just spent the best part of 3 hours trying to install the drive but so far, it has not worked and the problem seems to be that, although the Acronis True Image software that comes with the drive to 'clone' the source drive and install it onto the destination drive (new SSD drive), I get a message which states, "WARNING:  After migration, the O/S will not be able to boot from the destination disk in the BIOS - If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system and then restart".
    During one of my first attempts to install the SSD drive, I removed the original HDD from the MBP and installed it in the supplied 2.5" caddy and and connected it to the MBP via the USB cable supplied then installed the new Kingston SSD SATA3 drive in the MBP, powered up and then rebooted.  The Acronis bootable software launched and after choosing 'clone disk', cose source and destination drives, I got a message saying:  "The selected disk will be migrated as is (disks layout will remain GPT)".  "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in the BIOS".
    My system has the latest available Boot ROM Version (MBP.00AC.B03 and the SMC Version is 1.47f2 and as far as I am aware, Apple computers have no BIOS that you can access like on Windows computers and instead use EFI instead.
    Both drives had Extended Journaled GUID Partitions on them and what baffles me is that other buyers of these Kingston SSD SATA3 drives appear to have managed to install the SSD drive, but I've had to give up.
    I would really like to get the SSD drive working but so far I've failed.  Any advice would be appreciated and I'll try it out before reluctantly returning the drive for refund.

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes the Acronis software is Windows but I read through a lot of reviews on the Kingston SSD SATA 3 drives Amazon and from what I can gather, after removing the original drives and installing that in the 2.5" caddy and then installing the new SD drive in the Macbook, those buyers then used the software to boot from and clone the source drive to the new drive.
    I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my first post, but I did use the Disk Utility in Mac OSX and erased, formatted and partitioned the drive and then pushed CMD + R at start up but I was not able to install a copy of the OS because the drive was not recognised.
    I think I also used the disk utility in Windows and then tried again in OSX but no luck.  I'm no expert but as stated above, the issue seems to be that the SSD drive is not booable in the BIOS (or Mac equivalent).
    The SSD drive is SATA 3 and I'm sure that the SATA ports are SATA 1 on my MBP and maybe that the problem Perhaps someone can confirm this.

    riyazfrombangalore,
    your 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro requires 1066 MHz RAM, but you have 1333 MHz RAM installed. Try replacing the 1333 MHz RAM with 1066 MHz RAM — Macs can be picky about the RAM which they find acceptable.

  • How to make a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) work properly with a 3M Streaming projector?

    Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009), a 3M Streaming projector and very annoying problem.
    When I connect my MacBook Pro with a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to the 3M projector, I get a pink tint, like a filter over the image, it’s very frustrating.
    This are the tests I’ve done:
    1. I tried the adaptor and the projector on a different (more recent) Mac -> It worked fine.
    2. I tried connecting my MacBook Pro to a different not HDMI but VGA projector -> It worked fine.
    3. I used some Terminal code I found on the web to force the Mac to send RGB signal, don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but I tried anyway -> Didn’t work
    So I’m confused, it’s not the physical port of my MacBook cause it worked fine with a VGA projector, It’s no the 3M projector and it’s not the Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor cause it worked fine on a different Mac.
    So what is it?
    I’m totally desperate, I haven’t been able to solve this problem, so if you guys can help me you will be my heroes.
    Thanks.

    Yes as Clinton says this is correct.
    I've used a Sata to USB connector which is only a few pounds instead of an enclosure for the clone, but then I wasn't keeping mt old HDD. But that's an option if you don't need it.
    I also use Carbon copy cloner as this will clone your recovery partition as well. Apples disk utility will also clone drives but I'm not sure that it copy's the recovery partition.
    I highly redomend my Samsung 840 pro 256Gb - it's about the fastest drive you'll get (nearly) but is backed by Samsung's unrivaled SSD reliability and 5 year warranty. I've also used an 840 basic model on an older macbook and was equally pleased.
    Crucial's drives are reliable mac friendly drives but are somewhat slower on the write speeds vs the 840 Pro.
    I'd avoid OCZ drives due to so many failures across their range although they do have great reviews and some models just edge the Pro on speed although it's fairly negligible.
    As Clinton says, avoid the Samsung Evo drive. I wanted to buy this drive as it is a great drive - but there are many users that have had compatibility issues with it when installed in a Mac. This may rectified on a future firmware update possibly, but until it's proven I would avoid it for now.

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
    The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
    The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.
