Mac OS X Install Disk - MacBook Pro

I bought my laptop a few years ago.  I have a Mac OS X Install DVD (version 10.5.6).  I am currently running Mountain Lion.
I have tried to access the Apple Hardware Test software on the DVD, by pressing Option-D at startup.  This does not work.
I also tried just pressing Option to get to the boot selection menu, selecting the DVD and then searching for the AHT, but there is no selection.
How can I run the Apple Hardware Test on this machine?:
  Model Name:          MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,2
  Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:          2.93 GHz
  Number of Processors:          1
  Total Number of Cores:          2
  L2 Cache:          6 MB
  Memory:          8 GB
  Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
  Boot ROM Version:          MBP52.008E.B05
  SMC Version (system):          1.42f4

I have tried to access the Apple Hardware Test software on the DVD, by pressing Option-D at startup.
Just D, no option. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509

  • How to install Mac OS 9 on my MacBook Pro?

    I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. It came with the Mac OS X Tiger operating system. However, I need Classis environment for one of the programs that I wish to use so I went on and bought a new Mac OS 9 install CD, which I tried to install onto my machine by booting up from the CD-Rom. When I try and follow the instructions on the CD, i.e. "Hold down the C key as your computer starts up" it does not seem to do anything. The computer boots up in the Mac OS X as if I have no Mac OS 9 install disk inserted in my drive.
    If anyone could give me any help as to how I would be able to install the Mac OS 9 on my MacBook Pro I would be more than happy.
    Note: I have got my hard drive partitioned into two partitions.
    I am looking forward to some suggestions/answers as to where my problem actually is.
    Thx.

    Hi, gmujkic. OS 9 and Classic are not supported by the Intel processor in your MacBook Pro. None of the Intel Macs, as shipped, runs Classic applications. Nowhere in any of the literature on the Intel Macs will you find any hint of Classic support. It would have been wiser to look into this before buying the MacBook Pro — you might have decided to buy a Powerbook G4 instead.
    Third-party hacks/emulators allowing you to run OS 9 apps may be in the works, but Apple will not support them. Use them, if/when they appear, at your own risk, and subject to whatever limitations they may impose on your ability to run the Classic software you like.

    I changed my wireless broadband to a landline-base DSL wifi and it works like a charm. Sun was the culprit even you fiddle with its router and disable firewall, it won't work.
    try changing yours too and let me know how it goes.

  • HT201364 why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Late 2013 MacBook Pro already comes with OS X Mavericks. However, if you try to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you will get a message telling you that your MacBook Pro is not compatible, when it is.
    This is caused because the Late 2013 MacBook Pro is running a special OS X Mavericks version which is different than the version available in the Mac App Store. This makes that you get an error message when you try to download OS X Mavericks even when you are using it.
    Instead of downloading OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you can still download OS X Mavericks to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your MacBook Pro uses the same version as all other Macs

    No it doesn't. You need to purchase it from Microsoft.

  • I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

    Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

    That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
    Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
    Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
    Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
    Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
    After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
    After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
    Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
    Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
    That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
    Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

  • OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013

    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 installer is available in the App Store but it can't be downloaded because "OS X Mavericks can't be installed on this computer".
    If the installer of version 10.9 is already in the application folder it can't be updated for the same reason.
    I've seen that they are two versions of the updater that are downloadable from apple's website and one is specific for the MacBook Pro retina late 2013.
    I suspect that the installer in the App Store is not an universal installer. It is stupid because you can't reinstall that Mac is needed.
    I phoned to Apple (AppleCare) and they don't know why this happens.

    Hello,
    Try to boot the 15" MBPr as target when connected to your MBA (if you have the right cables and adapters).
    From the MBA, install on the 15" MBPr's disk, in that order :
    The 10.9.1 update for Mavericks except MBPr
    Download
    and then the 10.9.1 update for Mavericks specific for MBPr
    Download
    The MBPr should be bootable again. I did it for an external HD.
    Hope this helps.
    Best,
    ÉrIC Miclo

  • My Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro does not work properly.

    My Mac App Store on my MacBook Pro 15 inch does not work properly. When i go on to the app store, my wi-fi resets and then my app store quits. Why is this? How can i fix this problem? Please Help

    Back up all your files, on boot up when you first press the power button, press CMd and r and keep pressing until you get something apart from a apple logo. Then click reinstall Mac OS X or something like that. You may be prompted to insert your disk.
    Good luck

  • Can I share file between my Mac G4 and My new MacBook Pro

    How can I share programs from my power mac G4 to my new MacBook Pro?

    Hi stefanfan,
    Welcome to the forum.
    There are a number of ways, all of which require that you have File Sharing enabled in both Macs. File Sharing is enabled via the Sharing Preferences within System Preferences. When both Macs are networked all you have to do is open up a Finder window (just double click on your hd icon) and click on the Network icon located on the sidebar on the left of the window. The other Mac should appear, click connect and you're in.
    If you have broadband and are connected via a router, does your router have more than one port? If it does, simply connect the other Mac to the port with an ethernet cable.
    If you have a router with wireless capabilities (and both Macs have Airport cards installed) then you can share files wirelessly, again by enabling File Sharing.
    If you do not have a router, you can connect both Macs together with a network (ethernet) cable and, once again, they will be able to see each other and you can open/transfer files from one to the other.

  • Upgrading to Mac OS X Leopard on MacBook Pro

    I am running Mac OS X Leopard on MacBook Pro. What is the best way to upgrade to Mac OS X Mountain Lion? Should I purchase both Snow Leopard and Lion or just Snow Leopard?

    Repeats some of the above.
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrade to Snow Leopard, then update to 10.6.8      Snow Leopard Purchase                         Mac OS 10.6.8 Combo Updater
    Check that you computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    Model Numbers                  Computer Compatibility - Apple 
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.         Application Compatibility
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren't compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on.
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.

  • Will icloud install on macbook pro with os 10.6.8

    Will icloud install on macbook pro with OS 10.6.8?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud is not an application you can download and install independently. It is part of the OS X 10.7.2 operating system. So in essence no you cannot use iCloud with OS X 10.6.8 on your Mac.

  • How download and install on Macbook Pro.  Purchased software and installed on my desktop computer.

    How do I download and install on MacBook Pro.  Installed once on my PC desktop but now have new Macbook Pro with no disc drives.

    What version are you talking about and have you got the serial number?
    If you want to install version 11 then you can download from Adobe website and use your serial number to activate it.  The only problem I can see is that your serial number might be for a windows system and I don't know if it would work on a Mac.  However, it is worth a try.
    You are allowed 2 installations simultaneously so you should be OK in this respect.
    The download link is here:

    Make sure you use the MAC to download it so that you get the correct version for it.

  • HT2470 Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro

    1.Can Internet explorer be installed in Macbook pro?
    2.Can I have dual boot in my Macbook pro - with Mac and Windows ??

    No, unless you install Windows, which you can certainly do. Boot Camp allows you to install any number of different operating systems.
    If you're trying to use a website that refuses to load because it demands Internet Exploder, I suggest enabling the Develop menu in Safari's Preferences, and selecting a User Agent that placates the website.

  • SSD Install Experiences MacBook Pro 2011 i7

    This is a report on the beastie that I installed in my MacBook Pro 2011:
    http://thranblog.info/post/8615912997/ssd-install-experiences-macbook-pro-2011-i 7

    The fan normally runs at about 2000rpms - if they're loud enough to actually hear, you might have a problem. Mine can rev up to about 4000rpms sometimes and I'll hear them then, but it's nothing consistent.
    To see how fast your fans are running, download the free iStat Pro widget. If they're running abnormally fast, you could try a SMC reset to see if that will help.
    I would also uninstall VirusBarrier - your really don't need av software on a Mac but if you feel as if you must have something, try the free ClamXav and/or Sophos for Mac (both recommended by our resident malware/virus guru, Thomas Reed).
    Good luck,
    Clinton
