I have a macbook pro 2009 and I want to find out what the refresh rate is, I need it to be 70 hz

I need to find out what the refresh rate is. I went into system preferences and clicked on display, and saw refresh rate, but it said n/a. I need mine to be at least 70 hz, I can't find the answer anywhere.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard.

    Good Morning,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15" and my warranty just ran out! I partitioned my harddrive into two partitions, one with Snow Leopard and the other with microsoft.This morning I turned on my Macbook Pro and it will not boot into Snow Leopard. I shut it off took out the battery, reinstalled the battery. Then I put in the Snow Leopard CD and booted up to disk utility and The Snow Leopard partion would not show up?? I do see the microsoft partion.
    I also rebooted holding down the shift key and still no Snow Leopard
    Could you please tell me what I can do, what keys do I press on restart any advice to get Snow leopard back.
    thank you.

    Have you restarted holding down the Opt key?  That procedure should give you a gray screen with all of the partitions that exist.  Then select the SL partition for boot.  Also go to System Preferences and Startup Disk, unlock the lock and select the SL partition as the default boot partition, then relock.

  • I have a Macbook Pro (2009) and the tool bar in Safari keeps disappearing. There's a small diagonal arrow on the upper right that I can click and the bar will appear temporarily, but then it disappears from view. "Hide Toolbar" is greyed out in VIEW

    My 2009 Macbook Pro's Safari doesn't show the tool bar anymore.  I can click on a diagonal arrow in the upper right corner that appears when I put my cursor there and the tool bar will show, but then it disappears again.  Also, when I get an email and click on an internet link the Safari doesn't open full page like it used to - it opens as a small little box and I have to click the diagonal arrow in upper right corner for it to open full screen.  Any ideas how to correct this - it is so annoying.  Thanks for any help!

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • I have a macbook pro (2009) and it's stops registering left clicks after a while, have to restart laptop to work again.  Help?

    hello.
    I got my macpook pro in july 2009 so the warrenty has ran out.  Today, after a while just typing away I tried to save the document and went to click on the save icon and found that I had selected selected everything in the document and then the left clicker stopped regsitering.  The right click worked just fine but it would like the left click didnt exist and it wouldnt let me do it.  I have a mouse, and at first I thought it was the mouse.  But it wasnt registering on the trackpad either, so its definitely the laptop itself not getting the signals for a left click.
    I then restarted the laptop and it was back to normal.  So i thought it was just a glitch.  but it happened again after about an hour after restarting the laptop.  So I gave up on the laptop and then out for dinner, came home to find that it happened after about 30 mins of being on the internet.
    Ive tried looking for similiar threads but it seems like for other people its something to do with the battery on their laptop or just on their track pads thats not registering.  For me, it's not registering on my track pad and every mouse I have in my house to test it with.
    Please help, it is VERY VERY much appreciated

  • Hi, I use BootCamp for my windows 7, I have a Macbook Pro 2012, and I want to use a second display, is this possible with my Mac using Windows?

    I just dont see a port usable for a second screen. I want to hook it up to my TV to view photos and movies. What can I do?

    What do you mean you don't see a port? Does your computer have a HDMI or a ThunderBolt/Mini Display port? You can use these to add a second display. Which one you use depends on what input ports your tv has.

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
    That can happen for two reasons:
    You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
    You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
    Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the  Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
    View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command: 
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

    The only other way would be through Apple, assuming you bought it at an Apple store or at least registered it. Stop by the store or call their support number.

    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

    I do not wish Firefox Start Page to automatically load when I turn on my computer. the help I sought gave suggestion(s) for a desktop computer to go to start menu and run a system configuration to deselect Firefox as startup - I have a Macbook Pro laptop and haven't been able to figure out where I can do the same - need assistance please

    Look in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Firefox from that list.

    it would be better to direct that question to Gary Loftis, since my MacBook Pro doesn’t have a Thunderbolt port.
