How can i determine what year my macbook pro is from?

i want to see if upgrading to mountain lion for the Airplar Mirroring feature will work with my Mackbook Pro.  I believe it is a Core 2 Duo so I know it is not very new but I purchased it off ebay so i am not entirely sure the build year.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

    How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at?

    It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.

    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:

    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • How can i install windows 7 on macbook pro lion  from usb?

    hello am sorry to disturb you
    i would like to know the above question since i have looked almost everywhere and i have received no answer
    i have a macbook pro i5 with lion
    i have been trying for month to install windows 7 as a secondary boot to my mac
    but i haven't been able to
    things that i have done
    -i had downloaded win7 iso
    -using another computer i installed win7 on the usb { win to flash }
    -i have used bootcamp assistant but apparently i need a dvd of win7 which i currently don't have
    -i have installed Reffit but i always get a flashing screen when try to load windows
    please i hope you can reply me back if possible
    my thoughts are
    is that apple disabled the efi on lion to not be able to boot from usb flash drive
    my reasoning to this is that is used to work  on leopard but not lion
    again am trying to boot from usb not burn a disc
    please help att alcidio

    Rule #1 that TP missed: ISO have to be burned at SLOWEST 2X burn speed to work.
    There is/was a long thread but booting Windows from USB-DVD or flash is hit or miss, it may work. USB-DVDs often do not but it is possible to edit the plist to add the Mac ID string to it.
    Boot Camp Assistant -
    create a partition (done)
    download Windows Support Software (drivers to install after Windows is running) (done)
    Start the install and boot process - not really needed or essential
    And you can use Paragon, you can use Windows 7 or later DVD and do entire install (but on a dedicated 100% Windows hard drive).
    Flash drive: has to be MBR and FAT or NTFS (I think, sounds right) same for putting Apple drivers on flash card  for which there is an Apple Tech Article.

  • How can I identify what OS my Macbook pro is running?

    Can't get this computer to tell me what the heck I'm running.

    As stated, you are on Snow Leopard, you can upgrade to Lion (10.7.xx) if your intention is to use iCloud on your phone, you can also use iCloud without upgrading to Lion but it will (a) be a more complex setup procedure and (b) more expensive as you will have to purchase additional software if intending to use contacts and calendars as well as Mail.
    If you do intend on upgrading to Lion please note the minimum requirements (Core 2 Duo processor and 2G of Ram) the real world requirement (4G of Ram) and you should verify that your software will continue to run after Lion (Office 2004 does not work but 2008 and 2011 do) any PPC program that you have will not work so check first.
    Finally
    Backup
    Backup
    Backup
    Just in case.

    Yea,
    I bought an original CRT iMac  two day's before  they were launched, which got the reseller into trouble, and had it replaced by APPLE.
    This was a great learning process for me dealing with the glitches. :-)
    I LOVE MAC. Now own 4 and on my 10th. in 15 years + 7  bought for family.

    Launch iTunes on the computers you're interested in. Check in the "Advanced" menu.
    If "Turn on Home Sharing" is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is not Home Sharing.
    If "Turn off Home Sharing ([accountname]) is listed as an option, the iTunes library that you have open is Home Sharing.

  • How can I determine what computers are authorized on my iTunes account?

    How can I determine what computers have been authorized on my iTunes account?  I've reached my limit and now I'd like to deauthorize one computer.
    Thanks,

    There is no list.
    You can only deauthorize a single computer from that computer.
    If you do not have access to the computers, then you would have to deauthorize all.

  • How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

    How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
    I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
    Is there a possibility?
    Thanks and happy eastern

    The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
    If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.

  • How can I determine what is using my broadband?

    I have limited broadband (not uncapped) but something is chewing up my available data at an alarming rate. How can I determine what it is and how to stop it?

    You should be able to click on the one item, and then
    select Info, to see what else is involved w/ this kernel.
    And check the Console utility, to see what (among so
    many) specific items may relate to the use of internet.
    Items by Time & Date narrow the field somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I determine what LLB a VI is being loaded from?

    I've been frustrated switching between versions when an application opens and suddenly can not find a VI which is being loaded from a LLB.  How can I determine what LLB (or other type of library) a VI is being loaded from ? 
    Is there a list of all libraries along with what VIs are included in them somewhere?
    Thanks, 
    Dave 

    In the context help, enable "Show Optional Terminals and Full Path ", then just hover over your VI, either on the diagram on in the hierarchy view.

    You CAN run 10.7, but I don't advise it, buy the 10.6.3 upgrade disk from the Apple Store online and then backup files off the machine and upgrade to 10.6.3., then Software Update to 10.6.8 would be the BEST option for your older hardware and it will run most all of your 10.5 software and be faster than 10.5 or 10.7.
    If you go to 10.7 it won't run nearly any of your 10.5 software and you will have to buy all new ones for a machine that's getting a little bit dated, near it's end of life stage. 10.7 will slow your machine down, especially with low RAM.

    At your machines stage, the hard drive is getting old, the vents are clogged up with dust and it's going to cost a bit to get the drive etc upgraded. You can if you wish, but 10.7 really needs more RAM (4GB) and a faster hard drive.
    But your still subjected to the video card going out etc.
    IMO upgrade to 10.6.8 and stay there until the wheels fall off, then buy a new 10.8 machine being released after this summer or 10.9 machine.
