  • Problem installing Windows 8 via Bootcamp on MacBook Pro 13 (late 2009).

    Hello,
    I've installed Windows 8 Pro on my MacBook Pro 13 (Late 2009) which does not support Windows 8. I've started installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp, then interupted the installation and pluged-in the Windows 8 Disk, and after formating the partition, I've installed Windows 8 64-Bit.
    Here is the problem. The Windows works fine, BUT after restart when I hold 'Alt' and choose EFI Boot (Windows 8's partition), Windows 8 starts loading but then suddenly there is a white flash and it restarts again. So after shut down or restart I cannot boot it.
    Do you think that this is because I do not have Bootcamp installed on the Windows 8?
    I've downloaded the supported software for Windows 8, but when I click setup.exe, it is giving me the following error:
    This version of Bootcamp is not intended for this computer model. I've been trying to install it for more than 78 hours, so I'll be extremely gratefull to whoever help me. Thank you in advance.
    P.S. Mac OS X partition boots fine.

    If it is really not possible, I get it. But there are plenty of people that are running Windows 8 on the same model, that is powerfull enough to run Win 8. I'm actually running it, but until shut down or restart . Can't I edit Info.plst file alternative for Windows 8 like I did to allow BootCamp to image burn my USB on my model? I mean my model is same as the next one. I can't see why the drivers for mid 2010, won''t work on mine...

  • How to reset the SMC on macbook pro 15" late 2009

    Does anyone know how to reset the SMC on the macbook pro 15" late 2009?
    The instructions listed at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411 does not work.
    There are alot of posts in here about it, but I cant find any solutions on who to do this on the late 2009 model that have the build-in battery.

    Turn it off, connect the power supply then hold down shift/control/option while holding down the power button for 5 seconds - the power supply light will go off and on to show it's done.

    I have Macbook Pro and Adobe CC. 3D won't work.. I can open the 3D panel options but clicking ok or even choosing preview brings up an error message [can't]
    My friend has exact same Mac and CC and he has the same problem. We both have up to date Yosemite and CC versions.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
    It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.

    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:

    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space

  • Recently upgraded my macbook pro 13 late 2009 to an ssd but only getting a quarter of the speed

    Hi, i recently upgraded my macbook pro 13 inch to a OCZ VERTEX 3 240gb ssd. The drive is supposed to be able to have write speeds of 500mb/s and read speeds of up to 550 mb/s but when i run a speed test on the disk im only getting a max write speed of around 105 mb/s, and read speed of 137mb/s ish, now the negotiated speed is only 1.5gb/s I have trim enabled, and i have tried changing the link speed but with no luck. The drive is rated for 6gb/s also. The drive is not in the hard drive bay because my hard drive cable is broken, i have it in the optical bay right now, could someone please help me or tell me how to make the drive at least go up to sata 3 speeds,

    The 2009 MBPs were built with a very cheaply made HDD to LB cable. So I bet if you change that cable you will see more speed from that SSD.

  • MacBook Pro 17" late 2009 - Black screen on boot, not even a grey screen

    Got a monstrous problem.
    Started up my MacBook Pro (bought in Feb. This year, core 2 duo 2.88GHz/4 Gb RAM - basically the top specced model.)
    Booted up today, no grey start-up screen. No screen at all. Yet I can still log into Snow Leopard, but again no screen. Rebooted into boot camp, heard windows start. Managed to log in again no screen. Volume controls, keyboard illumination work. Just a black screen.
    I have tried resetting PRAM, etc. with no success. Cannot use hardware test as the screen simply does not start.
    Any ideas before I throw the effing thing from a 5th floor window in frustration?
    Is this the Nvidia problem other folk have experienced?
    I am tempted to ask for a new machine spending 2 months on and off with my previous MacBook Pro in and out of repair if this is a hardware problem that has been fixed in recent Macs.
    Regards,
    J

    I had the same problem just now. My 15" MBP (6.2). I followed the following steps and it worked for me. I used another Mac in my house to use screen sharing to accomplish these things:
    1) access the /private/var/vm/ directory on the nonworking computer from the working computer. This is invisble so you will have to press cmdshiftg in the finder and go to /volumes/YOURHARDDISKNAME/private/var/vm to get there or use an application that lets you view invisble folders like PathFinder.
    2) delete the sleepimage file
    3) delete the /system/library/extensions.mkext file
    4) eject the drive (drag to the trash)
    5) press the power button to turn off the non working computer
    6) turn the nonworking computer back on normally(cross your fingers) then if it works,
    7) open up the the terminal.app in /applications/utilities
    8) type sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    9) make sure there is no sleepimage file again
    That worked for me...hope it helps for you!

  • How long to boot MacBook pro 13" late 2011?

    It takes 1 minute 30 seconds to startup my macbook pro 13" late 2011 (2.4ghz i5 processor, 4GB RAM)
    This seems like a long time? I have Microsoft Office and Photoshop installed, will this slow it down?
    Thanks!

    if you have a normal hard drive installed - it usually takes a minute to desktop when you power up.
    check your login items to see what's loading when you first power up your Macbook.
    you can also go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found then restart your Macbook. 
    see if that helps your booting time.
    good luck

  • Macbook Pro 15 Late 11 extreme fans noise when using external monitor

    Dear Apple, recently I bought Macbook Pro 15 Late 11. I really love it's speed and new OS X Lion, BUT this Macbook really noisy when I use external monitor and keyboard. I work on external monitor all the time. I don't care about how hot my Macbook is when I'm on external monitor. Let it just be hot and quiet.
    P.S. Example. I run Ableton Live and have 6200 RPM working on external monitor (awfully loud!). CPU 90% idle. When I switch off external monitor and use internal one, RPM drops down to 4500 with the same Ableton work session. By the way, I don't need cool graphic card. Apple, let our work days be quiet.

    I did that and it didn't help. It's common problem with an external monitor. Here are some links:
