i have an older macbook pro os x 10.5.8 , processor 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 2gb . Can I upgrade it and is it worth doing?
Yes. Here's the information:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. 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- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Only you can decide if it's worth doing. -
Macbook pro late 2009 turns on twice and black screen with no booting
my macbook pro late 2009 (10.6.7) when i press the power button it turns on, then it turns off by itself and then on again and gets a black screen and nothing more no booting sound and i just hear the fans or the Hard Drive going... i really need help with this one
Hello aB_Cepeda
For issues with your MacBook Pro not starting up, check out the articles below as they pertain to issues with start up. The big thing to look for to troubleshoot is to see if you can boot to either your Installation Disk or Recovery HD. If you can, try using Disk Utility to verify your hard drive to make sure that there are no issues. You may need to reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

13" MacBook Pro (Late 2009) - nVidia 8400m stuttering graphics.
Recently, my nVidia 8400M GPU seems to have started acting up on my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2009). Whenever it is coming under a lot of heavy graphics i.e. games, the FPS rate begins to drop - understandibly, this is normal. However, it's predictability and duration is not.
Both under Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows (via Boot Camp) the problem occurs and will occur under any heavy graphics. Currently, the only games I play on my MacBook are Source based (Portal 2, L4D2, Team Fortress 2) and Minecraft; all of which have the issue.
The issue is that once the game begins, the FPS is fine, usually hovering around 24-30fps on full resolution with decent settings which is high enough for fluid gameplay. However, 5-10 minutes into gameplay, the FPS plummets to around 12 fps in a reoccuring pattern (demonstrated as best possible below with '-' being smooth gameplay and and '.' being a 'stutter');
----- . . . ----- . . . ----- . . . ----- . . . ----- (and so on)
It's fairly rapid, the smooth might last for a few seconds, stutter; smooth, stutter, smooth, stutter in a rhymic predictable pattern. At first, I attributed it to possibly a flaw in the Source code for Mac, it's still fairly new. But then Minecraft started. And now it occurs on Windows so it must be a hardware issue.
After maybe 10-15 minutes, it'll resume a normal FPS that's playable (or oddly, if the map is changed or refreshed on TF2, that kick starts normal FPS). Once it's settled down, you could close the game, come back hours later and wouldn't have the issue - if you put the Mac to sleep or shutdown, it'll occur again on next boot.
Is this a common occurrence with the 8400M on MacBooks? I used to play TF2 on Windows via Bootcamp before it was released for Mac and can never remember having this issue.
Is this something that could possibly be resolved instore? My MacBook Pro is still under AppleCare, would it be worth them having a look at it?You say recently.... I suspect that it has something to do with the 10.6.8 you have posted on the bottom left of your specs. I too had this very same problem and it turned out to be some apps that were not yet optimized for 10.6.8 I had to pop the install disk in and downgrade to 10.6.7... problems have disappeared since then. Good luck! Check your activity monitor and see what the CPU usage is when you boot up also check your system memory... After the update my computer the new MBP i7 2.2ghz was using 50% of the cpu at idle didn't notice it until I finally checked activity after having sluggish performance editing in aperture and restarting multiple times.

Macbook pro (late 2009) freezes at desktop screen
Hi,
I have a macbook pro late 2009 model 17 inch, running Lion 10.7.3
every now and then (once per ten boots) I have a specific freezing issue, after booting and loading the desktop screen and icons, mouse cursor is moving but I can't do anything more, the only think that works is a hard reset from the power button. I tried by re-installing Lion but the problem persists. I observed that this is also usually happens when I restarting from Bootcamp (windows) to OS.
Any idea or suggestion?See this article. You might have damaged software, and you'll have to reinstall from the recovery mode, depending on which version of OSX you have.

Having all of these apps launching at startup/login is probably slowing down your Mac's startup time AND having all of these apps running in the background is both eating yo CPU cycles and RAM.
Add or remove automatic items
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Select your user account, then click Login Items.
Do one of the following:
Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
Google apps like Chrome and Drive may still not be playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks.
Until Google releases a proper fix or official update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall these Google apps.
If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox.
Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently and is ,usually, more stable on OS X Mavericks. -
I had my most frequently used documents in Documents folder in the Dock. I thought I'd just drag it to the external hard drive, which I did, but then it was gone from the dock and I haven't had any luck putting it back. Somehow the applications folder has also disappeared! Can someone please tell me explicitly how to get documents and application folders back on the dock.
Thank you - I had tried to do this but it didn't work. What I finally found that worked was that on the desktop I right clicked and then selected "new folder". I named it documents (then did the same for applications) and dragged those folders from the desktop to the dock, and am in the process of dragging the documents and applicatons from their original folders into the new ones - it seems to be working fine.
I have no idea why it didn't work as you suggested - I tried several times with no luck, I even took a few unused icons off the dock in case there was not enough room.
So hopefully one of our solutions will help someone else. Thanks again. -
Can I clone my mac pro 4.1 os 10.6.8 and use it in a macbook pro late 2012(no retina)?
I'm a music producer and work most of the time on a mac Pro 4.1 quad core intel Xeon, Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I just purchased a Macbook Pro 13" (mid 2012) OS X 10.9.3 and my idea was to clone the Mac Pro i use for work and put it on the Macbook so i'd be able to work on the go if needed(same softwares installed,same authorizations, no need to do upgrades, everything working smoothly).
I cloned the Mac Pro HD with ccc and mounted it on the macbook, but it won't boot (the hd was cloned properly cause it boots on the mac pro).
I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just not possible anymore..a friend of mine did the same exact thing on a macbook pro mid 2011(from Mac Pro 4.1) and it worked without any problem..
Thanks in advance

As you know, there is no 10.6.8 disk, but one can clone 10.6.8 into a late 2011 MBP (from an external HDD). Niel mentions a 2012 model, you are the one who speaks of 2011 MBPs. That is why I directed the comment to you.

Why iMovie is not free for my macbook pro( late 2013)
I first deleted it and than i want to download it again, but i realize that iMovie is no longer free for my macbook pro( other apps, like pages, iPhoto and Garageband are still free), bt the way, my macbook pro is late 2013 version.
You're welcome.
Right the "Mac" "App" "Store". Completely different from the iTunes store and the "i" Device store.

Downgrade latest macbook pro late 2009 model from snow leopard to leopard?
hi all,
I have been contemplating investing in a new macbook pro 15 for quite a few weeks so hope someone can give me a clear answer on this.
basically i have a 3ghz mac pro 8 core intel machine with lots of pro apps, logic studio (8) and FCP HD studio 2 etc running on leopard.... these were designed for that os. I do not think that if i bout a macbook pro with snow leopard installed, that these apps would work so is there a way of successfully downgrading from SL to L, i have read that you need to downgrade to atleast L 10.5.6/ 10.5.7 for the mbp to recognise the correct drivers sets etc....is that correct? is it as easy as that?
If i downgrade the most recent mbp model to leopard does anyone know if all the functions will work, trackpad gestures , port etc...I just want to have 2 identical systems at the end of the day one mac pro and one mbp with the same configs so i can take my video/audio out of the studio
I refuse to upgrade to the latest app versions for the sake of an os (which is currently buggy according to most)
my configuration for my mbp would be the 3.06Ghz processor (with the matte screen!) and 500gb 7200 8gb RAM.
Please tell me if someone has done this procedure and had their mbp working fine or any probs encountered if i was to do this!?
I would be buying the mbp brand new with no data so no need for a back up with time machine etc..i just need a clean install of L os.
thanks in advance
l.wThere have been several reports here from people who have downgraded mid-2009 MBPs that came with SL installed on them to Leopard. As a general matter Apple discourages this...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186
...and in most cases it is impossible to directly install any older OS on a Mac than the one that was installed on it at the factory, or impossible to boot the computer if one does so by indirect means (e.g., cloning from another computer or an external hard drive). So this seems to be a special case where what is usually impossible can be done successfully, but it is probably true that no earlier version than 10.5.7, build 9J3050, will be usable. That's the build that was installed on all Mid-2009 MBPs in the early days of their production run, before the introduction of Snow Leopard. I don't know whether there is any retail Leopard installer DVD for that version or for 10.5.8; they may be available only on model-specific DVDs.

My MacBook Pro (Late 2009) won't open specific website
Hello!
I have a problem with opening hotfile.com website. In any browser (I've checked in Safari, Chrome and Firefox) it won't open. The weird thing is that on my wifes' PC there is no problem to open that page. Moreover, I CAN open that page, but only using online proxies (tried on zend2.com), and Windows 7 via Parallels…
I've cleared cache of browsers many times but with no results. I've checked "hosts" file also, but there was everything fine.
Through Terminal.app trying "ping" and "traceroute" gives both "unknown host".
Using same commands on my router displays connection with hotfile.com properly.
I don't know, what's wrong. :/
Hope there will be somebody, who will help me.
Best regards,
Maciej from PolandIt sounds like a DNS issue. DNS (Domain Name System) is how your system translates the name you type into your address bar into an actual address. When you enter the name hotfile.com... you system goes out and queries a DNS server which looks up the name to get the correct address and then sends you there.
I would suggest that you just change your DNS server. Use this page as a guide on how to change it, but don't use the DNS server info they provide (as it's specific for the school giving the instructions). Instead use the OpenDNS addresses which are:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
If there are currently DNS servers listed, just delete them.
http://ucdb.grinnell.edu/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Help.MacDNSIssues
You may need to make the DNS change for your ethernet connection as well if you're experiencing the same problem.
Let us know how you make out. -
OS X 10.5.8 on Macbook Pro late 2009
Hi there
I have a MacBook Pro, and i love it! The only thing is that it doesn't have snowleopard. I am wondering why, since my sisters MBP has got it, and we bought that a month before we bought mine. Shouldnt snowleopard be installed?That model was originally delivered with 10.5.7(9J3050) and later with 10.6(10A432). Your's must have been in inventory for awhile. It should have come with a free SL upgrade at the time.

MacBook Pro (Late 2009) being extremely slow
I brought it into the Apple Store after it wouldn't boot, and they recommended a new hard drive, so I went out and bought a 500GB for $50, and installed it myself with no problems.
Now, I've had no problems for the past 3 weeks, but just recently I can't even open the finder, or a preview of a file without waiting at least 10 seconds.
This is a huge problem, and I've had nothing but bad luck with Apple for the past few months. Any ideas?
Video: http://jamesmillsphoto.com/IMG_0339.MOVHello,
Maybe you are having the same trouble than me ?
You have :
- a 2009 MBP that is a 5.3 model according to Mactracker
- this model should have installed the infamous " EFI Firmware Update 1.7 "
- a new faster hardrive
My MBP doesn't even see his new internal HD, but works fine with the same drive on firewire 800.
The only solution seems to downgrade from EFI 1.7 to 1.6. Someting only an Apple Store Genius can do. I have an appointment this week to do so.
Another idea : Change the desktop image of your MBP, Ironman might bee out of battery .
See my post and tell me if it works for you : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3035208
