2009 MBP is not supported for native AirPlay Mirroring. Sorry.
There are a couple of other pay-for apps that do this, but they're not as good... some people have had success.

Assuming your MBP is a recent model, i.e. bought in the last couple of years, and that your TV has HDMI inputs (if you've bought it new then that's a safe assumption) then you need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable. The Apple Store sell one:

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solveby myself? (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

Hey guys,
This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8. The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
Thank you, I appreciate your help.

This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

How to connect my macbook pro to my apple tv to watch a DVD on my television?

You can use a HDMI cable. The adapter you need depends on the age of your MacBook Pro.

CD Boot: memory overflow error! Trying to install Bootcamp / Windows 7 on MacBook Pro 2009 with external superdrive

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Bootcamp on my machine.
I was running Parallels before but need Bootcamp in order to run heavy software on the PC side (e.g. Rhino/Maxwell/etc).
I have a Macbook Pro 17" from around 2009, running Mountain Lion 10.7.3.
Problem is, my internal CD Drive is broken and doesn't read discs, so it couldn't read the Windows installation disc (Windows Home Premium 7 64 bit - OEM System Builder Pack).
So, I rang Apple to try to fix it and they said it would be cheaper and faster to buy an external SuperDrive.
I explained that I wanted it to install bootcamp and they said, fine.
However when I bought the SuperDrive, it turns out its only supposed to be working with new Macbook Pro with Retina display, and other machines that don't have internal cd drives.
At first it didnt work, but then I found a helpful website which enabled it to work on my machine.
So I went ahead and started installing Windows through the BootCamp Assistant.
It partitioned my hard drive - success!
But then it turned into black screen, with message saying "CDBOOT: Memory overfloor error"
Help please!!!
I suspect the problem is either:
a) Old Macbook Pro can't boot from the Windows disk
or
b) The Windows OEM version is somehow not designed to work with Mac. I bought it secondhand off a guy, thinking it was the full version, silly thing to do!
Your thoughts and help is seriously appreciated!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Apple Store and also to buy a brand new copy of Windows, I guess.

This has been resolved. It turned out that in spite of the message at the end of installation - "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer restart the installation" Windows was installed successfully but the problem was the Bootcamp drivers, it could not read them(install them) from my original OSX Istall DVD and I thought that that the whole package was not installed successfully. I will copy the intructions here as well since this thread may attract lots of other people with similar problem who may think it was not a good installation. Here you go:
Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
Select Run as Administrator
Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
Click on Start
Enter cmd in the search box
Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

How to upgrade a MACbook pro 2009 with a SSD?

Need help installing an SSD into my mid 2009 MACbook pro.

Yes as Clinton says this is correct.
I've used a Sata to USB connector which is only a few pounds instead of an enclosure for the clone, but then I wasn't keeping mt old HDD. But that's an option if you don't need it.
I also use Carbon copy cloner as this will clone your recovery partition as well. Apples disk utility will also clone drives but I'm not sure that it copy's the recovery partition.
I highly redomend my Samsung 840 pro 256Gb - it's about the fastest drive you'll get (nearly) but is backed by Samsung's unrivaled SSD reliability and 5 year warranty. I've also used an 840 basic model on an older macbook and was equally pleased.
Crucial's drives are reliable mac friendly drives but are somewhat slower on the write speeds vs the 840 Pro.
I'd avoid OCZ drives due to so many failures across their range although they do have great reviews and some models just edge the Pro on speed although it's fairly negligible.
As Clinton says, avoid the Samsung Evo drive. I wanted to buy this drive as it is a great drive - but there are many users that have had compatibility issues with it when installed in a Mac. This may rectified on a future firmware update possibly, but until it's proven I would avoid it for now.

Severe overheating of 17" MacBook Pro (2009) with 3.06 GHz processor

For around a year and a half I have been dealing with a computer that constantly overheats very quickly, presumably because I ordered a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU for my 17" MacBook Pro without realizing that it would make the surface of the computer super hot. I recently looked at the new generation of MacBook Pros and saw that the max they offer now is 2.8 GHz. Good move, Apple, but it doesn't help me feel like I didn't waste more than $3100 on a machine that constantly burns my hands.
While the computer was under warranty I complained to Apple and they replaced it with an identical model with identical overheating problems. Without any recourse that I knew of (or any other computer to use), I just kept on using it.
Now I am using applications that I did not use before that make the computer even hotter. And I can forget games -- while playing Tropico 3 in Bootcamp it got so hot that it even shut itself down. And Minecraft in OSX brought the CPU up to 225 degrees F according to smcFanControl, even with the fans at their max of 6000 rpm.
In order to use it to work I have to cover the area to the left of the trackpad with a hand cloth to keep it from burning my palms, and accidentally touching the area around the left speaker is nothing short of punishment.
Since my computer is out of warranty, Apple support does not want to have anything to do with me anymore. So I was wondering if anyone knew how to slow the CPU down in the hopes that I can work with something that does not burn my hand and make me break out into a sweat. Any tips?

I have a similar problem. Although in my case my computer (Macbook Pro 17 - 3.06ghz Core 2 Duo), isn't actually having any functioning problems .. but I worry that running the CPU's constantly around 90-100 degrees celsius can't be good for it in the long run.
It seems your model is getting even hotter than mine. I find running Logic Pro makes mine really work at high temperatures. Mostly when I work with video. And again if I'm running World of Warcraft, then the temperature rides pretty high at up to 103 Degrees.
I too have the SMC app on running the fans at maximum. For a while I've just thought that the computer simply is built to run at these temperatures .. indeed I'm sure it is. But I'm getting strange graphical 'lurches' in games now where everything appears to slow down and then catch up with itself. I'm pretty sure this is due to the graphics system being overworked, or perhaps the system CPU is getting way too hot to work properly. Have never had a system crash because of it yet .. but I fear that after a year of running my laptop as is .. that the temperature issue is finally catching up with it.
Does anyone know what the typical operating temperature of the Macbook Pro 17 inch (3.06 ghz Core 2 Duo) model is supposed to be? And i don't mean the idling temperature .. I mean the operating temperature during gaming, music creation and other high end means?
I wish there was a way to underclock the CPU just to see if that improves the temperature issue. But no one seem to know a way to do this.
Well .. you're not the only one. I do enjoy my Macbook and regardless of the temperature problem it is still the best computer I've ever had.

How to connect my macbook pro to my apple tv

Is my mid 2010 macbook pro compatible with apple tv?

I just purchased apple tv and am having trouble with airplay are mirroring? I need to know if my mid 2010 macbook pro and ipad 2 are compatiable? Because so far the only thing i am able to get on my apple tv is my music. I am unable to mirror any of my pics or applications.
Help please!!

It has a newer processor that is capable of video encoding.
AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance.

Inputting audio/video into my macbook pro? with Apple DVI to Video Adapter?

I work with video, and am trying to save my minidv cam's life. is there a more direct way to input directly from a vcr/television into my macbook pro? because right now i'm having to input from my vcr/television into my minidv then into my macbook through firewire.
i was considering the Apple DVI to Video Adapter ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=724 17D66&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/cables&nplm=M9267G/A#overview )
but i'm fairly certain that this is output-only. does anyone know if there is a way to input through it as well, or anything that works similarly?

I thought that cables and adapters worked the same going either direction. I believed that the only concern was the male or female end points on them. Not sure anymore though

MacBook Pro integrated with Apple Hardware Test?

I was over at the MacBook Air support page, when I came across this article on how to test your hardware for issues.
And was wondering if it also works on MacBook Pro's or if its only exclusive to MacBook Air?

Thanks,
Saeid.

It's supposed to:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303605
Yes, but that tech article is misleading. The hardware test is available at boot time and is firmware based. You do not need to have the Install DVD in the drive to run it, just press D after the "bong".

How to connect my MacBook Pro to my Apple HiFi speakers

I have the big white Apple HiFi speakers, and I am wondering what lead would I need to connect it up to my MacBook?
It only has a 'power' and an 'audio in' socket. So I'm wondering what wire I would need to connect the computer to the hifi. I have already read that getting an AirPort base station would work, but I can't really afford that, so using a wire is my only option at the moment.
Advice would be really appreciated! Thanks

You would use whatever wire goes into the audio in, I would assume it would be a 3.5mm jack, in which case you would just need a 3.5 to 3.5mm audio cable. The easy way to tell is - is the audio in hole the same size as your MacBooks headphone hole?

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect Macbook Pro (2009) for a presentation via projector.

When I connect my Macbook Pro (2009 model) using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to display a presentation via projector, only the top-left portion of what is displayed on my Macbook Pro's screen is displayed on the projector, as though I zoomed in on that portion of my screen. The projector is on and the adapter and the cable that connects the adapter to the projector machine is correctly connected. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Hi glraczon.support,
It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
Here is an article that may help you with that process:
