I have a early 2008 Macbook Pro, need to up grade the hard drive so that I can add a windows environment what is the largest drive that I can put in this computer? Is the storage size the constraint or the physical size of the drive? Or a combination?
The largest capacity HDD that you can install is the HGST 1.5 TB HDD:

Any 2.5" 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will fit and operate in your MBP, regardless of capacity.

I have an early 2008 macbook pro that is running slow after upgrading to lion. Is there anything I can do? this is what I have,Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

Last night I posted: I have an early 2008 macbook and want to upgrade the os. Can I upgrade to snow leopard?
Today I started the install using a OSX 10.6.4 install dvd. It would not install on my Macbook. The general requirements were met, the Macbook booted to the dvd but I received the meesage that I could not install the new OS. So, new question: Any advice on where to get the last release of 10.5 Leopard (> 10.5.2)? Also, does anyone know why Snow Leopard won't work? Is Leopard as far as I can go on this machine? -

I have an early 2008 macbook pro (Pre unibody)
I have an early 2008 macbook pro with 10.5.8. The clock will not hold the correct time when the power adapter is disconnected. The main battery is dead. Does the motherboard have a back up battery that holds the date and time or does that function depend on the main batter being in order? Thanks.

Hi: It isn't possible to upgrade the processor. It is not a socketed CPU.

I have a Toshiba laptop currently on windows 7 and i was wondering can i upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8)? Because i saw it was only 20 in the mac store if i can actually upgrade to it then i would buy it but if its only mac compatable why the heck would i buy it. i am very mad at microsoft right now and i am tired of thewindows operating system's.
lol i would LOVE to get one but i dont have the money. I think if apple made a osx lion for non mac computers they would make a LOT more customers but charged like 100-300 dollors since you wouldnt have to buy a mac

My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?
You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:

In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added. -

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
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?

I have a early 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge
I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge. I read it may be the charger,
that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
Anything I can try?
I have updated to 10.9.2
Message was edited by: wplewisBring it back to the Apple store with your MBP and charger. If the battery is found to be defective, they should provide you with a replacement (assuming you are in the warranty period).
Ciao.
