Is AirPlay available for 2008 MacBook?

Can someone please confirm whether AirPlay is even a possibility for my mac? I have a 2008 or 09 MacBook. Software is OSX 10.9.4 with Mavericks downloaded last night. No AirPlay icon is visible, but there never was previously either (I think). Next question, if the answer to this is "no", would something like Air Parrot do the job? Or am I still too outdated. An Apple rep assured me that I would have it once I downloaded Mavericks, but it doesn't turn up in the search.

2011 or newer Macs have this capability only.
You could try Airparrot. I myself have found it sluggish on my 2009 MBP.

  • Is ibooks available for my macbook?

    Is iBooks available for my MacBook?  It seems silly that I can read books on my iPhone and iPad but not my macbook.

    No.  Normally on every purchase page in the iBookstore you should see a Requirements section will tells you that an iOS device is required.  
    Nonetheless you may be able to to read something you get from the iBookstore on your MacBook if it does not have DRM, which is determined by the publisher.  Most free books don't have DRM, and a few paid books (those by O'Reilly for example) also do not have it.  These can be read with an epub reader app like Calibre, Adobe Digital Editions, and others you can find in the app store.
    For most paid books, to read them on your MacBook you should get them from one of the other stores, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, or Sony, and read them with the ereader apps provided by those stores.

  • Monitor Adaptor Cable for 2008 Macbook Pro

    I need an adaptor cable to hook up my 2008 Macbook Pro to a new 21" HP monitor.
    My Macbook Pro does not have the Mini DisplayPort. Any other suggestions? The monitor came with a PC VGA and DVI-D cable. Thanks!

    If I think I know what your saying, it sounds like the store only had the Magsafe 2 connectors for the new model Macbook Pro's. The good news is yes stores still sell both Magsafe 1 and Magsafe 2 adapters. My advice would be to just take your adapter into the store and show the sales person what you need.

  • What are the best graphics available for the Macbook Pro 13"

    I am 13 years old and I am looking at a Macbook Pro.
    I am between the 15" and 13". The only thing stopping me from going straight to the 13" is the graphics. I hear they aren't that good. Is there anyway to get the graphics from the 15" and 17" or just any graphics that are better than the 13" ones"?
    I will be using it mainly for movies and games, but i am not a huge gamer and I dont expext the very best.

    Thanks
    But the reason i like the 13" better is because i find the 15" to big for my liking.
    Are the graphics that bad? Will i notice it?

  • What is the maximum RAM for 2008 MacBook pro

    I've seen some here say they have 8gb. Manual says 4 is max. What is the correct number?

    You're welcome.
    My late 08 Uni also states 4GB Max but been running 8GB for a year now.
    Same with my 1 month old late 2011.  Specs says 8GB Max.  Been running it with 16GB the day I bought it.
    I have Crucial installed in both my Macbooks.
    If your MB works for you, then just use it with the RAM upgrade so it can last you for awhile.  You'll see a difference in speed.
    Another thing to check is your hard drive.  If it's almost full, delete some files you're not using and clear your cache memory once in a while.
    An almost full hard drive also slows down your MB.

  • Is there a 12 volt adaptor available for the MacBook

    Has anyone looked into this? I'm unable to find anything on the Apple web site and no one I've spoken with seems to know...
    Alternatively, if there isn't a 12 volt adaptor available, would I need to use a pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverter when I'm not near a power outlet to recharge the battery?

    I don't believe there is a direct one. The standard adapter has a 16.5 V output when loaded.
    I've heard claims that the (lighter style) plug in the official Apple MagSafe airline adapter may work with nominal 12 V power supplies as long as the source voltage is a typical 14.4 V from the alternator or a freshly charged car battery. The EmPower ports used by airlines are supposed to have a 15 V output. However - this won't charge the battery even if it does work. It only powers the computer as long as there's a reasonable battery charge.

  • What are the upgrade options for 2008 MacBook Pro A1260

    I am curious to see what my options are to upgrade my hard drive compared to upgrading completely to an entirely new computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Reliable ram: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade.  Very well known vendor, very reasonable prices, and ram comes with a lifetime guarantee.  As far as reliable hard drives, I can give you brands that I have had no problems with.  Hitachi (still running strong 5 years + in a pc laptop), Samsung, and Western Digital.  Here are some reviews on hard drives: http://www.storagereview.com/best_drives

  • Largest hard drive available for MacBook?

    Just saw the preview for Leopard - very excited about eventually buying it, but I'm wondering if my 80 gb hard drive will be large enough to take full advantage of its features while leaving space for my other stuff. (For the record, I have 35 gb available now.) Am I just being paranoid - and if I'm not, what's the largest hard drive (in storage space, of course) available for the MacBook at this time?

    david-
    as far as i know, 160GB (hitachi travelstar). here is
    the link:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?Model=248
    &Type=Data%20Storage&TI=2021
    no, you are not being paranoid. it doesn't matter if
    it is the leopard or a new tom cruise screen saver.
    eventhough 35GB is still alot of space (my dell i am
    currently using has only 18GB total and i have a few
    hundred megabytes left!), you'll eventually need a
    bigger storage a year or so down the road.
    how about an external hard drive?
    best luck!
    An external hard drive for nearly full-time use with a laptop would be cumbersome at best, even if it were small, it would still take up one USB port most of the time. I'd rather swap out now or soon than that. Thanks for the input.

  • How to get airplay to work on macbook pro that is newer than 2011

    I have been looking to use my computer to play onto my Apple TV, my Mac Pro is Mid 2012 and running OS X Lion 10.7.5.  Everything that I have seen is telling me that I should be seeing airplay available for my use, unless I am misunderstanding what is being said.  Please help, I am not quite sure what to do about this problem.  Thanks in advance!!

    It is a very simple job to do it yourself. remove the bottom of the case, undo the 2 screws that hold the drive in, take it and put te bottom case back on.
