I need an adaptor for my EARLY 2008 MacbookPro DVI

Searching for a stockist for an adaptor for an EARLY 2008 MacBook Pro DVI port to HDMI please note that LATE 2008 versions are slightly different and this is a real problem nobody stocks the version I need? I've even checked on Ebay and no luck so far....

DVI does not include sound.
I am surprised that there are no DVI to HDMI adopters in the UK. What about:

Where can I buy replacement battery for macbook early 2008 edition

hello,
where can I buy a replacement battery for macbook early 2008 edition (white). Thanks

Early 2008 macbookpro won't turn on nothing is working

I've just sifted through about 60 discussions like this but no answers that work for me. I have an early 2008 macbookpro. The battery wouldn't let me unplug the adaptor for more than a minute before it shuts down with no warning and won't turn on for 20 mins. I expect things to not work in my life so I was fine with always having it plugged in/dealing with this inconvience. Yesterday the adapter got knocked out of place and it was left on no more than 20 mins and it was competely dead. So I just plugged it back in and let it sit for a few hours assuming it just needed to charge back up. Now it won't turn on at all. The battery indicator lights all light up and then quickly fade when I press the button. I have no idea what this means since I can't find a guide on what the indicator lights for earlier models. But there is obviously some life in it if its able to light up. The adaptor is working fine, the indicator light is green. I've tried resetting the PRAM, PMU, SMC and reseating the RAM. Basically EVERYTHING. I don't even think it notices I'm doing these 'resets' since it has no power going throught it at all so it's of little help. I don't have an apple store near me or even the gas money to get me to one. I see some poeple with the same problems getting a new battery and it still not working. I was also under the impression that macbook pros can run with out a battery in it. Mine has never done so it always needed the battery installed to even turn on. Please help

Having had EXACTLY the same problem last night with my beloved macbook pro, I just got off the phone with a spirited apple advisor who pretty much told me that I was inaccessibly dead in the water and there was nothing I could do...And so, now I must go on leeching off of random stationary computers in efforts of attempting to get my projects and school assignments done on time. //nearly finished with rant...
Anyways, seeing I have nowhere near the money to buy another macbookpro, I bid a farwell to the apple community for the most part
If you guys had any more luck, please share! ...if the same doomed fate, I am very sorry to hear of this mutual sorrow.

Early 2008 MacBookPro keyboard backlight off and fans run at high speed

Hi!
I wrote from Turkey.
My Early 2008 MacBookPro 2.40 ghz 4 gb Ram OSX Mavericks machine's keyboard backlight off and fans run at high speed; it seems an exact smc resetting problem.
So i tried the 2 ways of SMC restting procedure; both battery you can move and not, but nothings changed on the situation..
On the way for removable battery; nothing changed but on the way for umremovable battery way; keyboard backlight flashes and gone, but fans are at high speed not changed. So nothing changed.
What can i do right now? i'll wait for your advices
Thanks

Your Mac may need a new PRAM battery. Once it is over 4 years old, that often is needed.

Need help with graphics card options for an early 2008 mac pro

Hello,
   I have an early 2008 mac pro with 2 x 3.2 GHz quad core Intel Xeon and 6Gigs of ram, currently running with an Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT with 512mb.
    It is also running 10.7.2.
   I would like to either add a video card on top of the one I am currently running or replace it completely if necessary.
   I do video editing on the Mac, no gaming and only a small amount of photoshop, and as the resolutions get larger I would like to have my machine keep up.
   My questions are,
     1. What cards would you the community suggest?
     2. Can I add a whole other card to my system or do I have to replace the current one?
     3. If I can hold two cards what special accomidations would be needed in regards to final cut performance if any?
    Thank you for any help you would like to give.
Rob

The two main cards for mac pros are the apple versions of the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870.
The 5770 requires one aux power adaptor and the 5870 requires two. So generally you could only have one 5780 or two 5770's.
Video cards which don't require aux power should be able to coexist with these cards so log as it's all within the power supply maximums of course.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
- http://www.barefeats.com
So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

I Need Install Disks for Early 2008 MacBookPro

I just purchased a used MacBook Pro (Early 2008) but the seller didn't have the Install Disks. How do I go about obtaining these and what steps do I go through since it is registered to him and the Apple Care is under his name?

Contact him and ask him to contact AppleCare. If he doesn't, return to him the computer, as he may
1. Be trying to pass off a stolen computer to you.
2. Not have any regard for the licensing agreement of the computer.
He can't be holding on to the software while giving you the machine with any software on it. The software is an integral part of finding out if there is a hardware issue with the machine, it also allows you to install iLife which came with the machine. He should read my FAQ*:

What are my options for having my case for my Early 2008 white macbook repaired?

I own an early 2008 white macbook and as most people know they were notorious for ending up with cracks in the plastic body. Well, mine has it's fair share of cracks and the little nob on the bottom used for securing the battery in place has also broken off. The computer still runs great and does everything I need, but the keyboard and trackpad are glitchy, the battery won't stay in place, and it just kind of looks bad with the cracks. How can I go about getting these things fixed? I read that apple was fixing the cases for free for a while if it was within 5 years of purchase but I was NEVER told about this even when I took the laptop into the apple store several times for general questions and I am now beyond 5 years since purchase. I've seen plenty of third party sites to buy new cases on, but is there any chance the apple store would be willing to replace it for me still a this point? Also, since the plastic casing is so prone to cracking is it possible to replace my keyboard with one of the keyboards from the late 2008 aluminum body to avoid future chipping or would this not fit my model?

Call an Apple store and ask.

Compatible graphics cards for the early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with the 2.66Ghz Quad core processor that is running Lion. I had an ATI Radeon Card in there that didn't last very long (I've read not great reviews about them recently) and now I need a replacement that will be compatible with my system and that will last me longer than my previous card did. The problem is I don't know what my options are. Can anyone reccomend me a viable replacement? I do video/audio production so something high end would be nice.
Thanks,

There are some good ideas, comments and tests just how much difference and in what applications.
The differences between 2.5GT and others are less than you might think.
There is no-compromise performance for some areas of CS6 and CUDA with ML and GTX 570 or above. The new EVGA GTX 660-Ti FTW w/ 3GB $330 looks to be very popular and that is the "mid-range" today, compared to $400-500 where GTX 680 sits or ATI 79xx series.
If you have to use 10.6.8 that is a bigger factor and some cards require 10.7.4 or later.
The 5x70 were average cards when they came out. There is no reason to have a system where early boot is totally dependent upon firmware and couldn't do basic video. Anyway some people are willing to swap out the 5770 and keep it just for debugging.
As to the original question: can't tell if you were interested in asking if a MacBook Pro Retina or something else... kind of hard to argue. A 12-core 3.33GHz with 48GB and 5 internal hard drives - it is hard not to do whateer you throw at it esp. if cost is not the primary concern but work is and it is suppose to pay for itself.

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
"Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".
And of course shop here:

Where and what type of solid state drive should I buy for my early 2008 Mac Pro Desktop??

where can I buy and what type of solid state drive should I use to upgrade my early 2008 Mac Pro Desktop??

Rick,
When you get a chance.... DSLReports is off line: their SQL server decided to take its indexes and access to data. Power. Not enough of the right kind of UPS. Same happened to StorageReview's "Drive Reliability Database" about 8-9 yrs ago.
dslreports.com is offline
Fri Apr 20 09:05:55 EDT 2012
SSD: Loading CS5 plus other little monsters might matter.
Lots of small I/Os
latency of 1/100th where nanoseconds replace those "long" milliseconds
System: Small and fast.
DLLoyd even goes for short-stroking drives to get and maintain highest I/O
The new 10k VRs hit 200MB/sec - I still use them and still find them useful, long lasting, feel responsive with whatever I ask of them. I know they get criticized and "cost too much"
Just bought a new WD Black and yes it is better than the 2008 model I was using.
600GB 10K $200 vs $150-220 for WD Black. your choice
I can destroy a 7.2k drive, I have brought ever 10K drive back after a simple WD Extended Test in Lifeguard.
I don't really care about $$/GB or I wouldn't have just bought Intel 128GB $149
Database: the pros put the index in memory and page fix (virtual volumes in memory; cache; hold disk drive index in memory). Caching storage has been around for almost 40 yrs.
Today you can use SSDs as front end cache to hold DB indexes and frequent data for web servers and such adn use slower secondary storage.
SSD + SAS + 4TB storage
Separating the system from data: #1 must
Having data on array: been what I use
I put a large photo library on 2 x 10K VRs vs SSD and couldn't tell much difference (SSD is soundless of course) But my WD Blacks make as much noise and run 15*C hotter than those 10K (not what you expect?)
While 10K and 7.2K are in the 140-180MB/sec range, they are in 3.0 to 12.0 ms seeks, not 0.01 ms.
People wonnder why shrink a drive to 2.5" (or why not go down to 1.8".
How long does it take to reposition a disk head? how often? the 10K VR travels on outer tracks at 70 MPH. Really trying to fly off into space.
It uses one step to find the "zip code" and then another DSP to find the "house."
True of any high density perpendicular recording mechanism.
And of course while the Raptor-X tried to find a home with famers, Cheetah buyers, the WD 10K line has more of a home where servers and small form factor drives - and 100s of them - can fit in a rackmount server I imagine.
Anyway.... if SR and DSLReports can drop out of site due to power and hardware failure and loss... we can learn some and hope to protect our own data and investments.

How do I download an older version of iPhoto for my early 2008 MacBook (which only supports through OS X 10.7 Lion)?

I recently restored my early 2008 MacBook and reinstalled Lion. My timing is poor because Mavericks came out yesterday, so now all iLife stuff in the Mac App Store requires Mavericks. But my old MacBook doesn't support anything later than Lion. I had iPhoto before the restore... how do I track down an older version, which I have purchased and own? Thanks for any help.

Contact the iTunes Store staff and see what they say. If you can't get help from them, buy an iLife 11 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.

Where can I find a case for MBP early 2008 model

I know the new MBP has nice cases to keep from scratching. I've searched everywhere and can't find a rubber case for the MBP duo 2 core, early 2008 model. Any suggestions. I checked Amazon and Ebay

Actually, most of the cases state:
Fits MacBook Pro (black keys/late-2008 and newer models; not compatible with Retina display models).
At least these state that -> http://www.speckproducts.com/macbook-cases/macbook-pro/macbook-pro-seethru.html.

Edit: Oops, my bad - you've an EARLY 2010.
Maybe try eBay with the search of "Speck cases macbook pro early 2010" will yield something?
