  • New macbook pro with mavericks but time machine back up with Mountain Lion

    Due to an incident with a cup of coffee my 2009 Macbook pro was unexpectedly destroyed.  However I now have (thanks to Insurance) a new Macbook Pro which runs Maverick.  I have a back up of my Mac from Time machine however my latest back up was using Mountain Lion, am I going to be able to re-install this back up onto my new computer?  If not how can I get my data out of Time Machine onto my new mac?

    You need to erase and format the new HD as OS X Extended (journaled), restore the TM backup onto it, and then reinstall Lion to put on the Recovery HD. Best is to do all of that in an ext HD enclosure, ensure that it boots the MBP, and then put it into the MBP. Once that's done and, if the MBP supports it, upgrade to Mtn Lion, which is what Lion should have been when it shipped.

  • Is there a way to upgrade a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro so that it can use a wireless n network?

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro, and I live in a share house. The router we are using is very far away from my room and I do not get very good signal strength. However, my phone and ipad, which are newer, and have wireless n capability, are able to get quite good speeds on this network. I think my problem is that my computer only has a wireless a/b/g airport card. I know that it is meant to be compatible with the draft IEEE 802.11n specification but I don't think it is connecting to the network as a wireless n device.
    Is there a way for me to upgrade this card? I have seen a number of cards on ebay etc but I cannot find one that matches my needs. Alternatively, is there a way to make my computer join the network as a wireless n device?

    I am not sure swapping a wireless card is an easy exercise.. I would not recommend it.
    You can hunt up a USB wireless stick that is Mac compatible..
    Or you can buy an Apple Express and use it as a wireless bridge. There are plenty of alternative wireless bridges.. you just plug them in by ethernet and use wireless.. depending on the brand of wireless router you have.

    Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
    Snow Leopard Purchase    
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.

    No, I don't know about that kind of software. It isn't Pages anyway. You need somekind of database.

    Your MacBook can not be upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the highest possible for that model.

  • What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo??

    What will happen if I install Lion on my macbook pro core duo? I have one of the first Intel MacBook Pro's with a Core Duo processer, I'm having hard drive problems so want to format it and re-install my OS. I can't find my Snow Leopard disk so the easiest thing to do would be to download Lion but I have been told that my MacBook needs to have a Core 2 Duo processer so I just wondered if anyone else has tried Lion on a MacBook like mine??

    Nothing.
    Lion will not run on a core duo, it needs a core 2 duo as a minimum
    see Technical Specifications
    Also you will need SL running to access the App Store to download Lion. So In a number of ways this won;t work.

  • Cant upgrade Airport Extreme on Macbook Pro Core Duo to 802.11n

    I have an original Macbook Pro Core Duo, purchased not long after Apple's announcement of "Bootcamp", and it has a "Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g).
    From what I can tell from various documentation around the web, this should be upgradable to 802.11n with Apple's 802.11n Enabling software, however it tells me that the hardware is not compatible.
    If anyone can suggest what I am doing wrong, or whether I miss out, that would be good.
    Also, assuming it can not be upgraded, will running my local Airport network in "802.11n 5GHz 802.11a compatible mode" affect the speed of my other 802.11n devices on the network?
    Thanks.

    So you're basically saying 'Link Speed' shows the current connection? If so, the problem resolved itself. Sorry, my bad. Thanks anyways.
    (My Time Capsule hasn't arrived yet. I'm currently using an older version of Airport Express.)
    Another thing. When I asked at the local Apple Center for the 802.11n card, they told me, the card itself is not sold separately and even if so, it could not be exchanged, since it's unremovably attached to the logic board. Why do they tell the customers something like that? I mean, if Apple doesn't want the users to make changes like that, fine. Then they should say so. But why make up stories in order to dissuade people from their ideas? Is that common policy?

  • Ram limit in macbook pro core duo

    hi
    I was wondering what the limit of the macbook pro core duo is. I know it says 2 gb but has anyone tried a 2gb chip + 1gb chip? I also know the core2's can do 3gigs.
    I have had laptops that thave worked with way more than the specs said. My pismo's limit according to apple was 512mb ram I have had 1GB in that for many years. I think the 512 mb chip was the larges one at the time the computer was released so thats what was reported. is it the same thing with the first generation macbook pro's?
    thanks
    t

    According to Apple's specs the limit for the MBP CoreDuo is 2 GBs. The limit of the Core2Duo is 4 GBs although only 3 GBs is user accessible.
    The spec limit for the Pismo is 1 GB (512 MB per slot.) When new models are released sometimes there isn't RAM available to suit the limit of the model, so Apple can only certify a max based on what's currently available. You will find this is true of many older Mac models such as the Pismo.

  • MacBook Pro Core Duo 1.83 GHz fans (0 rpm)

    Working on a friends macbook pro core duo 1.83GHz 1,1 - It’s been shutting down intermittently; he’s been using a laptop cooler and it helped some. I installed iStat Pro and  SMC Fan Control and neither the left or right fan are spinning (0 rpm). I figure dust bunnies preventing fans from turning; took the top case apart and much to my surprise it looks as though the fans never spun. Ever! Not a speck of dust inside either one. I powered it up and neither even tries to spin; trying to jump start them with a push does nothing. All connectors look solid, nothing burnt.
    Any suggestions other than new logic board?

    Depends. Are the fans simply not working? Are they connected to the motherboard? Is the motherboard not working? Have you tried
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). There may be any number of explanations none of which you can know without taking it in for repair unless you have the repair equipment and know-how.

  • Macbook Pro Core Duo Battery Exchange

    Hey All,
    I would like to ask a question. I have a Macbook Pro Core Duo, the 1,1 model of 2006. I recently found out, due to some issues i had with the battery a long time now, that its battery is part of an exchange program initiated late 2006. I found online that the serial number of the battery matches (ends with U7SC). However, i cannot find the website and the link i find is dead (404 error). Do you think that i can still go to an Apple Store and request a replacement? I know its a long time, but there is still a replcement program for the 1st generation iPod Nano, so it doesnt seem unreasonable to me. Thanks.

    The original program provided a reasonable time period in which you were to apply for a replacement and return the defective battery. As I recall it was not an open ended program, but you can always ask. The worst that can happen is they say, "No." In any event, any battery you had from that far back would no longer be functioning today, anyway.

  • Macbook Pro Core Duo froze and now boots into grey screen

    I was using my macbook pro (core duo) and just had a few apps open when it froze. I could still use my mouse but nothing else was working including force quit.
    When I restarted my computer, it did the spinning wheel and apple screen and then went straight from that to a grey screen, to never come back again. Sometimes it flashes to black before entering the grey screen.
    I did applejack and it finished with no errors...
    I booted with the command option p and r.
    I tried verbose and it gets past that and then gets stuck again at the grey screen.
    Safemode boots and works fine (except my airport isn't detected) and probably some other things don't work.
    I searched through other problems but couldn't find one that fit these specifications.
    Any help would be graciously appreciated.

    If safe boot works then it is probably a startupitem, launchagent, or launchdaemon that may be failing.  Look in your /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, and /Library/StartupItems.  All these are suppressed in a save boot.  You could start experimenting by removing all you see in those.  Or if you have some hunch of what may be a possible culprit delete that. Or one at a time.  Whatever.
    When I say delete I mean just temporarily remove them.  Observe ownership and permissions when putting them back.
    Note, I don't know why any of those items would suddenly start to fail just because you machine went south.  Perhaps some plist or other data got corrupted.

  • Some possible good news for MacBook Pro Core Duo owners....

    All,
    I believe I am now running 2.4GHz 802.11N on my MacBook Pro Core Duo.
    I have a Belkin F5D8071 ExpressCard installed.
    I also have the new Airport Extreme.
    Before I got the AE, I tried to run the 802.11N enabler with the Belkin card installed. No go. The enabler said my hardware didn't meet the minimum requirements.
    But, I received my AE yesterday and installed the Airport Utility on the MacBookPro while the Belkin card was plugged into the ExpressCard slot.
    As I was watching the installation, I noticed that the enabler installed!!!
    So I switched the AE to N only 2.4GHz (Belkin support has no mention of support for 5GHz N for the F5D8071). And my MBP joined the network!
    So I investigated some more. I opened Network Utility and it said my link speed was now 144Mbps. And the MAC address began with 00 17 3F. That is registered to Belkin. The Belkin card was active! But I saw no power light on the Belkin card. So I went into IORegistryExplorer and found the entry for the ExpressCard, it said the IOVendor was Apple. So what I THINK is happening is the Apple Driver is now recognizing the Belkin card and the driver just doesn't know how to drive the lights on the card. But it does recognize the chipset on the Belkin card. Which Belkin says the chip is made by Airgo.
    I ran a quick speed test by copying a 1GB file from a wired PowerBook to the MBP. It only took 12 minutes to copy!!! Sweet!!! I have "N" speeds on a Core Duo MacBook Pro.
    Now one limitation is the Belkin card does not support 5GHz. But there is hope for CD MPB owners. Hope this helps others.

    I have a February (very early) MacBook Pro Duo. I bought the Belkin F5D8071 card, plugged it in and installed the Airport Extreme software including the system 802.11N enabler. I set the AE to the 802.11N only mode and it does not work! Any suggestions? I would think that Belkin will eventually come out with their own soft ware patch for OSX. Thanks.
