Fuzzy / Blurry Font on Unibody macbook (late 2008)

I have have recently started using my wife's macbook as my macbook air died. On the air the text was always clear and crisp. On the unibody macbook the text is blurry on screen. I have compared it to my colleagues previous generation Air. The funny thing is that when running VMWARE and using windows 7 the font display is crisp and smooth whereas in OS X (snow leopard 10.6.4) font display is blurry and fuzzy (ok i over exaggerate a little bit but it is enough to drive me nuts). The second thing that makes me think it is a software error is the fact that the AIR and this Macbook both use the same resolution screen.
I tried disabling fonts in the font book to no avail...
I have played with font smoothing and it also does not help.
The scary thing (and to my dread) is that windows on this machine handles the display better Surely Mac OS X must be able to do it as well (as it is the native operating system.
Does anyone have pointers? Should i do a clean reinstall? Can i reinstall video drivers or reset all font appearances to there default values.
Help!!!

Dear Forum members,
I encountered the same problem. Bought my new MAX pro 13' yesterday
I bought a MAC because it is known for its picture quality.
I am curious. Did you find a solution already ?
Thanks

  • Aluminum Unibody Macbook Late 2008 Hard Drive Compatability

    What are the maximum specs on a SATA hard drive that the late 2008 aluminum unibody Macbook supports? Would a 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive work up to spec if I were to install it? Or is the max that I can install 500 gb 5400 rpm?

    I mean rotational speed is NOT something limited by chipsets.

  • My Macbook aliminium unibody from late 2008 will not boot. I reach the grey screen with the apple icon and the spinning grey gear. I used disk utility to boot it but it said integrity test failed. I don't know what to do can anyone please help?

    Sounds like you may have a harddrive issue.  You are probably going to need to get that changed out and then install the OS X again to get it going.

  • HT2368 Hello, I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware, need help. Thanks

    Hello,
    I have MacBook Late 2008 (Unibody). And I can't install this firmware MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.5
    Need your help.
    Thanks

    Also, according the the 1.4 update page here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL974
    It will update the Boot ROM version (on MB 5,1) to MB51.007D.003.
    Yet I have (MB 5,1) Boot ROM version MB51.007D.B03. Weird again!
    What a mess Apple. Considering how important firmware updates are you'd think they could make this a little clearer.
    Anyways, again, I don't think we need it.

  • Should I fix or replace my MacBook (late 2008)?

    Hello,
    My MacBook (late 2008) has been running slow for some time now. I think it might be time for a new hard drive... or maybe a new Mac, but not too sure what is the root cause.  Here is the data pulled from EtreCheck. I'm looking for some expert advice, whether to hold off buying a new Mac, or if it might be cost effective to upgrade some of the inside to make it as good or better than new... and what the cost might look like to do so. Thanks for your help!

  • Hard drive upgrade 13" aluminum macbook late 2008

    I want to upgrade my hard drive on my 13" aluminum macbook (late 2008) and I can't seem to find any documentation that suggests how large of a hard drive I can install on the computer.  I would like to do at least 500 gb, but more is good.  Anyone have any info for me?
    Thanks!

  • 320GB really the max upgrade for MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum Uni)?

    So, I've got my MacBook. It's the 13.3" aluminum unibody, from late 2008. Everything in it is stock, except I've upped the memory from 2GB to 4GB. The harddrive is still the original 250GB, which is pretty much full. I've been told by Apple that the highest capacity I can put into this one is 320GB, yet I see tons of posts from people who have put 500GB/1TB drives in and was wondering how THEY can do it, but I can't.
    Any suggestions/advice?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's listed as a MacBook. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link2
    As you can see, Apple officially supports 4 GB of memory in the Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook, but you can install 8 GB of memory without any problem. You can buy the memory in OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in my aluminum 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008)?

    My 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008) currently uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card, but I want to upgrade it, so that I can play games at a higher quality. Is this possible? If so, what graphics cards are compatible with my Macbook (Late 2008)?
    Thank you.

    The graphics card on a MacBook is part of the logic board not a separate card so it can't be upgraded.

  • Upgrade SATA drive for macbook late 2008

    Hello!!
    I am here to ask for help. Let me tell you a bit more about my Mac:
    Late 2008 silver 13" MacBook 250GB 2GB RAM 2.4GHz IntelCore2Duo DDR3 MB467LL/A, currently at 10.5.8 OSx system (yes I know I need to update the software as well!)
    I currently bought 4GB kit (2x2GB) RAM to upgrade on my silver MacBook (late 2008), and would also like to update my hard drive.
    I have looked around on online shops for 2.5" 9mm SATA drive, and came across to 1TB for not too bad a price (between £85 to £100).
    Anyone know whether if this is ok for my laptop?
    Samsung, WD Scorpio Blue and Toshiba, all are at 5400rpm for 1TB. (However there is 750GB Seagate 7200rpm 16MB - recommended???)
    Large memory/drive are usually much needed with me as I do use a lot of design work e.g. Adobe InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop...you get the drift .
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Looking forward to hear from you soon!
    Thanks again,
    ejburton.

    If all the technical specs (like SATA, physical dimensions, power usage etc) all match then you can use any drive of any available size in your MBP. Right now it appears that the largest available is the Western Digital 250GB 5400rpm drive where as the fastest is the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive. Fujitsu and Toshiba have annonce 300GB drives though I've not heard that either are yet shipping.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased with the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive.

  • Upgrading MacBook Late 2008

    I’ve had my MacBook 13″ Late 2008 now for three and a half years, and it has been used every day since I bought it, and with every passing day, it’s getting slower and slower. I’ve checked with every forum out there to find methods for speeding it up, but nothing works! I’m therefore convinced my hard drive is failing. I want to get a new one, and better memory than the standard 2Gb while I’m at it, rather than buy a whole new MacBook. Luckily, I have a few pennies saved up and want so splash out to get the creme de la creme of upgrades. Any advice on the latest gadgets? Both for hard drives and memory? Can SSD's be put into the late 2008 laptop? Thanks, C

    You are also able to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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 Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             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.

  • Problem with replaced hard drive on macbook (late 2008, 13" aluminum)

    i replaced my macbook (late 2008, 13" aluminum) hard drive and get a blinking folder upon reboot.  I can't seem to reboot from the original disc that came with my macbook.  What do I do next? I tried holding "c" down but still get the blinking folder

    With the disc inserted try starting up while holding the option key. That should take you to the boot panel where you can select the dvd.

  • Macbook Late 2008 Freezing/Unresponsive trackpad and keyboard

    Macbook, Late 2008
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
    This has been happening for months on end. I've repaired the disk repeatedly. My friend who's an ex-Apple Genius said it was the little watch battery on the Logic Board. Replaced it. Still happens. He told me to replace the fan. Still happens.
    What happens appears as an absolute freeze. The cursor stops reacting to my trackpad and nothing happens when I press things on the keyboard. Anything on the screen that would naturally be moving/changing is frozen.
    I don't know what's going on and I don't know any solutions. I need help.

    It's happened to me twice today with regular use. It happens at random whether I'm using a taxing program like Photoshop or reading a textbook in Preview. It happens at random and is a huge pain.

  • Do I have all the parts to replace my HDD with a new SSD on my Macbook (late 2008)?

    Hey everyone, I am trying to figure out if have all the parts to replace my hdd with a new ssd on my macbook (late 2008 aluminum).
    I just bought a crucial mx100 SSD and plan on replacing my mac HDD. I have the appropriate screwdrivers, and a bootable OSX on a usb drive. I also purchased a sabrent usb 2.0 to sata/ide hard drive adapter.
    How do I replace and install OSX on my new SSD?
    From what I read here are the steps I'm planning on taking.
    1) Detach the old HDD
    2) Attach new SSD.
    3) Turn on computer and use the bootable usb drive to install OS X.
    Does that work, I think I read somewhere about maybe formatting the SSD before I can use the bootable usb. Any input or help would be awesome. Thanks.
    I'd prefer to do a clean install of yosemite and not carbon copy my old HDD
