i want to clean my mac book pro 15inch 2008((inside)) ! what should i do?

You can get a small screwdriver and take off the bottom case and see if any dust has accumulated in the fans. But Apple provides no official directions on how to clean the inside of a mac, so I would leave it as is.

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card?

I want to connect my Mac Book Pro to the internet in France without any wifi connection available? Mi Fi? Sim card? All we have is a phone signal in this rural French location. I want to be able to Skype to states from there. We have a friend with a 3G ipad who uses an Orange sim card to do it. I would rather not have to buy an Ipad.
thanks

I found out that the data package for one month useage with MiFi is 1G. How many minutes of online time does that correspond to?

MiniDisplayPort-to-? adapter, available at Apple stores and Best Buy and antplace selling Apple. Plugs into the Thunderbolt or "lightning bolt" port.
Replace ? with HDMI or VGA or DVI.
Know that TVs spave pixels further apart, for viewing at 10-15 ft instead of close as monitors do. Makes viewing small text at 10 ft difficult sometimes.
Another poster also recently reported that using the mouse on the external display is "laggy". Some models of Mac have only a graphics card integrated into the CPU (which can be challenged by running a big external TV) and some have a "discrete" or "second" graphics card that handles TVs better.

I want to buy a mac book pro to edit video on what computer and software do I get?

I want to buy a mac book pro to edit video on. What kind of specifications do I need to make sure Final Cut runs smootlhy. And do I need Final Cut studio or Final Cut X? The software is for beginners?
Thanks

Ok great - Im by no means a professional editor I have done a fair bit of video editing for online, presentation and awards videos in my previous jobs, and was advised by a previous trainer to get a mac and final cut pro as working of PCs and with Sony Vegas was time consuming and inefficient. I am buying a whole new set of equipment for my office and hope to get the department all trained up on it in the next year.
I will be learning to use the software but I will need it to make professional videos in the end so I don't think imovie would be appropriate? Thanks for the advice though - I will be prepared for the learning curve.
Any other advice on which Mac to get also much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

Hi, i want to buy a mac book pro. I was wondering if the ms office suit that i will buy can be a normal version or a one that has to be compatible with mac?

It must be compatible with Mac OS X. You have to install the Mac OS X Microsoft Office version > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Also, you can use the PC version, but in this case, you will have to install Windows on a virtual machine or Boot Camp, so it's better to use the OS X version. There are alternatives for Office, like Apple iWork or LibreOffice, if you want to try them before

I WANT TO BUY A MAC BOOK PRO. MUST I WAIT FOR THE ONE WITH RETINA DISPLAY. WILL THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO CD ROAM BE A PROBLEM. CAN YOU USE A EXSTERNAL CD ROAM ON A MAC?

Apple will gladly sell you a color coordinated and texture matching external SuperDrive to go with your Retina'ized MBP for about $80 bucks.
Note that those models are completely sealed with no serviceable or upgradeable parts inside. So if you decide to bite the bullet, be sure to customize its guts to your heart's content from the get-go as no further change will be possible. This means CPU speed, amount of RAM and size of the solid state drive. Other external options, like the Superdrive, can be added later.

8 gigs in Mac Book Pro late 2008

I have read that the Mac Book Pro late 2008 can now handle 8 gigs of ram, if you have the latest Boom Rom Version (i have the exat on needed). I currently have 4 gigs. My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple? Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?
I am really not into HACKS, but 8 gigs would be nice.
THanks
bob

+My question is, is this some type of HACK, or is 8 gigs really supported by Apple?+
It really is supported.
+Can I buy 8 gigs from the Apple Store and have them put it in?+
Yes, but you'll be paying about four times the going rate. It's easy to install RAM yourself. Just be careful not to touch the gold contacts, or if you do, clean them with rubbing alcohol. Also take care not to cross-thread the screws that hold the bottom cover on when you put them back in.

Yosemite update, MAC Book Pro early 2008 - Dead like. Overheated, Blank screen

Before 3 days I installed the latest updated for Yosemite. After the update, I make the laptop “sleep”. But I noticed that while sleeping the power LED indicator behaved in a strange way. Also the laptop was very hot and after couple of hours of sleep, It count be powered on.
I pull out the battery and power cable to cool id down. After that is was OK.
This same scenario was repeating last 2 day, always while the laptop was off/in-sleep.
Now no the 3th day, I noticed the battery is drain out. Now it is fully recharged, but the Laptop want to power on.
After powering on, the Led indicator is glowing like (half-intensity) and noting happens. The screen is blank.
Can someone advise me, what to do?
Some notes:
================
-The device is MAC Book Pro early 2008
-The battery is New, used for about 3 weeks, without problems
-I tried and alternative (old, original) battery, but it is the same. Which makes me think the problem isn`t in battery.
-It happened right after the Yosemite update.
-While sleep it was very hot
-LED indicator behaves strange
Thank you for any advice or tip.

Sorry for the spelling I am dyslex.....
I had this happen to.
For some unknown resin my 2.5Ghz MacBook Pro overheated and witch killed it. Requires a new Logic Board.
Resions for this diagnoses:
1) The laptop was running Sarfia in Yosemite before before I closed the lid.
2) I did not take note that when I had put the laptop down it had not gone to sleep.
3) When after 3 hours shopping, I picked the laptop up it was VERY! hot on the bottom (much hotter than it has ever been) (and it was not the battery)
4) Before I got it turned off by pressing the power button the fans where running but not fast.
5) I let it cool down before trying to turn it back on.
6) I tried all the reset operations
7) The disk drives (HDD and Optical) spin up and did the diags.
What I don't know is:
1) Why did not the thearmail shutdown not kick in?
2) Why when I picked it up and it was clearly VERY HOT! the fans where not running fast?
3) If the OS was doing something (update while asleep)?
4) If the OS was doing something how and why did it stop the fans spinning fast to keep the laptop cool.
Sadley I now have to shell out for a new Logic Board.

How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

What is the defaults refresh rate of the Mac book pro 15inch?

What is the defaults refresh rate of the Mac book pro 15inch? and how can I change it?

I don't believe there is a refresh rate for LCD or LED monitors. Refresh rate is something that is used for old style CRTs if i'm not mistaken.

Two questions, does resetting the Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after reset? Also, do i need to remove my WLAN router and get only a plain MODEM when setting up my AIR PORT time machine?

Two questions, does resetting my Mac Book Pro late 2008 speed up after resetting? Also, do i need to get rid of my WLAN router to make my AIR PORT time capsule work?
Am grateful for any answers...its a 15,4"...
Will soon buy a new one, is battery better on 13 than 15 "?
Have a great day...

If you mean restoring OS X, that won't necessarily have any effect on speed.
Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow your Mac down.
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

No need for the WLAN router with AirPort Time Capsule.

2011 Mac Book Pro Dual Monitors - what's better, a small TV or LED monitor?

I have a new 15" Mac Book Pro with thunderbolt. I am setting up for some Final Cut editing, and was looking into a second monitor for full screen preview.
What is ideal??? Mini display port out via HDMI or should I go with mini to DVI?
If HDMI is fine, then what is the difference between using a LCD television and using a PC monitor?? Costco has a Samsung 27" 1080p LCD TV and a Samsung 27" monitor with HDMI for roughly the same price ($250).
Any opinions what would work better?
The monitor may occasionally double as a TV or be pulled onto a shoot as a camera monitor, in which case, maybe the LCD TV is better. It also will be used as a full screen preview monitor for Aperture still photo editing.
Thanks

>> You need a broadcast signal going to the HDTV from the MBP. <<
Are you saying that if you want to use the TV to evaluate the broadcast quality of the video then the MBP does not have that capabilty?
Are you also saying that if you just want to display the video on the TV then you can use the HDMI output of the MBP?

Impossible to download Mavericks on a mac book pro 15'' 2008 with lion

I cannot download Mavericks on my mac book pro. I cleaned it with Onyx, repared the permissions, gave my id in App store, which was recognized, deactivated my Intego Antivirus, no way.
It works on a mac mini with snow leopard, but it does'nt put the file under the downloads so that I can copy it.
My Mac is given as compatible with Mavericks.
I found much messages on Internet about analogous problems, but no fix.
Is Apple aware of this? Is anybody knowing a remedy?
Regards
Bruno

Yes, I have 10.7.5.
I don't get any error message. It just does not download. But it does on a mac mini on the same network, and with an older version (snow leopard). Very strange.
It would be helpful if I could download a full version of Maverics on any computer (inclusive Windows PC
Regards
Bruno
