Is Leopard compatible with A1150 Macbook Pro

Hello, Mac users! I currently have a MacBook Pro 15'': model A1150. I bought it off a friend without the install/restore discs and a blinking question mark inside a folder appears when I turn it on. Which OS should I install on my Macbook Pro: Leopard or SnowLeopard?

Start by calling 1800 275 2273 (1 800 APL CARE).  Gibe the serial number, they can send you copies of the original install disks for a nminal shipping fee.  Even if those disks are Loepard and you want to go to Now Leopard (buy this disk to do that: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A), having the original disk with the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) is a good idea.
I bought the retail DVD to upgrade my parents' macmini and it installed just fine.  But I was just upgrading Leopard to Snow Leopard so all other Apple software was already installed.
Opps ... sorry about that phone number.

  • I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB.  Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

    I have an Acer external hard drive 500GB.  Is it compatible with Apple MacBook Pro laptop?

    There are only a handful or Hard Drive mechanism manufacturers left. Acer is not one of them, although they may make the enclosure (but probably not that either). So in essence you have a Brand-X enclosure with some sort of Hard Drive inside.
    Most of those work fine once they are re-Initialized for use on the Mac. For me, I prefer to use the Re-purposing of a drive as an opportunity to re-write every block with Zeroes (which can take several hours but can be done in the background), assuring that every block is good.

  • Is the Canon MF3010 compatible with the Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.3)?

    A recently bought Canon MF3010 laser printer does not seem to be compatible with my Macbook Pro (10.8.3). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work? It's not listed in supported software on the site and I tried downloading and intalling some software recently available on the Canon site, but that's not working either.

    The MF v10.0.0 driver available from Canon works fine on OS X 10.8.
    As for it not being listed in the supported software, if you are referring to the Apple KB article then that is just a list of what drivers are available from Apple. It's not a "only these drivers are supported" list.
    So assuming you downloaded and installed the MF v10.0.0 driver, what exactly is not working? Have been able to add the printer but it does not print? Or are you not even able to add the printer?

  • Are SACDs fully compatible with the MacBook Pro?

    I'm a huge Tolkien appreciator, and I absolutely love Howard Shore's incredible scores for Peter Jackson's film adaptions of The Lord of the Rings. The Complete Recordings of each film come with a double-sided SACD of the score, which does play in the DVD Player application on my MacBook Pro (late 2011), but I'm not sure if it's actually getting the full sound quality from the SACD. Does anyone know if the MacBook Pro's system takes full advantage of the multiple channels on the SACD?
    Thanks!

    I could not decipher which sata is compatible with my macbook, it is 1, 2 or 3, or what should I buy.

    Your machine has a SATA III connection, meaning you can get a negotiated link speed of up to 6.0Gbps.
    You may want to take a look at my user tip -> Upgrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive.
    There are dozens of SSDs that would work in your MacBook Pro. You first need to decide what size you want (or need): they're available from 128GB - 1Terabyte.
    Personally, I recommend either the Crucial M550 series or the Samsung EVO series. You can get either from a wealth of different sources. I have 4 Crucials now -> 2 mSATA and two standard 2.5" drives. There were some problems with Macs and the EVO series when they were first introduced but they work just fine with Macs now.
    Google both drives and find the best prices for the storage that you need. You can't go wrong with either.
    Good luck,

  • Roller Coaster Tycoon 3; Is this item compatible with my MacBook Pro?

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook pro that uses OS X 10.7.3 (newest version of Lion) with 4 GBs of Ram. I am purchasing Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum for Mac from here: http://www.amazon.com/RollerCoaster-Tycoon-3-Platinum-Mac/dp/B0048XAVC2.

  • Is this SSD compatible with my macbook pro

    Hello Freinds,
    I am planning to upgrade my macbook's hard-disk with SSD.
    my Macbook pro model: MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
    SSD I am planning to buy :: http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-840-series-250-gb-ssd-internal-hard-drive-mz-7td 250bw/p/itmdhwymgyx2htcn?pid=IHDDHWYAFRSNG8GB&ref=9d81c0fa-f452-4314-a68d-3e061a a99184&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=ssd
    Can anyone confirm me that this ssd will be compatible with my macbook.

    i can't confirm or deny but im leaning towards the no side. Formating is a big issue. it sayd that its is compatible for Win7 and 8 but windows is formated for NTFS and macs can only read on NTFS. Do some more research but i hope i pointed your research.

  • Installation CD not compatible with new Macbook Pro

    I have a new 13" Macbook Pro. I bought the Airport about a year ago and just purchased a new laptop. I try to install from the CD but it says it can't because the OS isn't supported. Online, apple says it is. What's wrong? Is there a way to download an install? I don't have snow leopard, it's the version right before it.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You can download AirPort Utility 5.5.1, but it requires an operating system running 10.5.7 or later on Leopard, the previous operating system to Snow Leopard.
    If you are not sure what operating system the MacBook Pro is running, click the Apple icon at the upper left of the screen and choose About This Mac.
    If you need to update your operating system, click the Apple icon again and select Software Update. This should update your system to a version that will be compatible with AirPort Utility.

  • How do I reformat an external hardrive (Iomega ScreenPlay HD) so it is compatible with my Macbook Pro?

    Hi!
    My old external hard drive has given up on me. I haven't been able to back-up my Macbook Pro for about three months. My sister has given me her external hard drive - an Iomega ScreenPlay HD. She has got a Sony laptop.
    I am pretty clueless when it comes to things like this. I have a horrible feeling though that if I plug in this external hard drive it will scramble it because it is not compatible with a Mac.
    Please could someone advise me here? Am I able to reformat it myself? I have been on to other forums but I can't seem to follow what people are instructing or suggesting. I get as far as Disk Utility and then stop. I don't want to change a setting that may cause the whole thing to crash. The external hard drive is completely empty.
    I'm not sure whether this is of any use but here are the details that come up for the new external hard drive:
    Partition Map Scheme :
    Master Boot Record
    Disk Identifier :
    disk1
    Media Name :
    ST350082 0AS Media
    Media Type :
    Generic
    Connection Bus :
    USB
    USB Serial Number :
    037B56000001147D
    Device Tree :
    IODeviceTree:/PCI0@0/EHC2@1A,7
    Writable :
    Yes
    Ejectable :
    Yes
    Location :
    External
    Total Capacity :
    500.11 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)
    Disk Number :
    1
    Partition Number :
    0
    S.M.A.R.T. Status :
    Not Supported
    I have got another external hard-drive here other than the ScreenPlay HD one. I just thought I'd try this one first.
    If someone could help I'd be so grateful.
    Thanks!

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

  • Is the magsafe 85W compatible with my macbook pro from 2006?

    I've got a MacBook Pro from 2006 - MacBook Pro 2.2 Intel Core 2 Duo and my magsafe that has worked fine all this time is finally giving up on me.
    Searching for a replacement have brought me this info from Apple:
    "If you  receive a replacement MagSafe adapter with a "L" style MagSafe connector  when you previously had a "T" style MagSafe connector, the "L" style  adapter is fully compatible with your Apple computer."
    While this site - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2346 -  seems to indicate that I need to use a T-shaped connector..
    Does it matter whether I get a T- or an L-shaped connector?
    Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

    Happy Holidays to you and your family.
