Macbook Pro Mid 2009 has a good battery but it won´t charged.

My Macbook Pro 15,4" has a 82% healthy batterie, but she will not charged. The Magsafe-Light is all the time GREEN.
The Battery has 1074 cycles.
Is there any way to bring the battery back to life?
Kind Regards, Michael

Did you follow these instructions?
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
That should work - if you can't reset the SMC, you need to get your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP.

  • Negotiated Link Speed on MacBook Pro mid-2009 with Kingston SSDNow v300

    Hi,
    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (13") with Kingston SSDNow v300 SSD drive with Mavericks OS X installed.
    I've noticed from different forums that many users have the same problem that I have: SSD drive's Negotiated Link Speed is only 1,5 Gbps, although MacBook Pro mid-2009 should support 3 Gbps speed.
    My system has EFI 1.7 firmware update (MBP55.00AC.B03) installed in and System Info says that 3 Gbps Link Speed should be possible:
    NVidia MCP79 AHCI:
      Vendor:    NVidia
      Product:    MCP79 AHCI
      Link Speed:    3 Gigabit
      Negotiated Link Speed:    1.5 Gigabit
      Physical Interconnect:    SATA
      Description:    AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
    Many users have tried to reset NVRAM and SMC and I have also done these steps, but with not any improvement.
    Some users have mentioned that MacBook Pro mid-2009 has a poor SATA ACHI chipset (NVidia MCP79) and SATA III SSD drives won't work on SATA II speed unless SSD drive is forced to work on SATA II speed by firmware update or by some tweaking tool. Is there this kind of tool available for Kingston SSDNow v300?
    One user says that he got 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed on Mountain Lion, but after installing Mavericks, speed dropped to 1,5 Gbps (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23549859#23549859).
    So, is there any way to get Negotiated Link Speed to work on 3 Gbps on Kingston SSDNow v300 with MacBook Pro mid-2009 (for example by installing an older version of Mac OS X) or do I have to buy a new SSD drive from another manufacturer to get 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed to work on my machine?
    If the last option (to buy a new SSD drive) is the only option, would it be wise to look for an older model, a SATA II drive, (maybe OCZ Vertex 2) to get 3 Gbps speed?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    I was just as frustated as you after installing the Kingston v300.  I mean it's a solidly built drive with the reliability of kingston (I've been using their RAM for years and years in my desktop PC without problems).  Unfortunately, for a the last 3 months I had it in my 2009 unibody white macbook, it was stuck at link speed 1.5.
    I've been searching in forums since then without any solution.  Even the update for bios is not available for my model.
    I just tried the SMC reset after reading the blog.
    http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2010/12/04/how-when-why-to-reset-the-pram-smc-on -your-mac/#!w3XEY
    On reboot, everything seemed faster, so I checked the negotiated link speed and it was at 3 instead of 1.5!  Yay!  Then I checked the disk transfer speed on Blackmagic Disk speed test and it roughly doubled from 138 to 260MB/s.  Now, I'm not going to shutdown or restart...
    I hope this post is useful for people like me stuck at 1.5 Gbps speed.  Good luck

    My   Macbook pro mid 2009 just  has 2 GB Ram I want to upgrade 4 GB Ram Is it possible in Apple store

    Apple usually doesn’t sell RAM for older Macs. You’re probably better off buying it from a source such as OWC or Crucial and installing it yourself.

  • How to improve macbook pro mid 2009

    i got Macbook pro mid 2009 with processor speed 2.26GH and memory 2GB and storage of 159GB. running maverick 10.9.4
    Its slow and battery do not last more than hour.
    Any suggestions?
    is it worth upgrading it or buy new one.

    That model has a max possible RAM fo 8GB (two 4GB modules). As long as you are not doing anything heavy-duty, 4GB (two 2GB modules) is probably OK for Mavericks. I have on MBP running Mav on 4GB with no indications it is struggling for more RAM.
    Only buy RAM from a trusted Mac RAM reseller. I use Other World  Computing (their RAM listings for your model are here):
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
    Crucial.com is also good. Avoid Kingston ValuRAM. It has never been happy in Intel Macs. You will get the right RAM from either vendor. Can't say that for brick-n-mortar electronics stores. Too hard to find one with a resident geek who speaks Mac.
    Installation is an easy do-it-yourself task; all you need is the right screwdriver. Handy video here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody/
    As for the battery, there is a built-in utility that will show the current condition. Click and hold on your Apple menu. Hold down the OPTION key and the first item with change to System Information. Launch it. When it comes up. find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and select it to get a battery report.      Looks like this:
    Copy the information I've outlined in red and paste it into a response to your thread here. Those numbers describe the current condition of the battery.

  • How do I reinstall lion using time machine (Macbook Pro mid-2009)?

    I am going to replace my hard drive (and add RAM) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2009) myself. I have Lion (10.7.4) currently, and have backed up via time machine on an external drive. I don't have Lion on a usb, and from what I read, Lion Recovery via internet isn't applicable for my macbook (pre 2010). Is the time machine backup a bootable drive? If so, then am I all good so long as my backup is completed prior to replacing the hard drive? If not, how do I create a bootable drive so I can get back to "normal"?
    Thanks! :-)

    To determine if your Time Machine backup has a Recovery HD on it restart the computer. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. A Recovery HD option should appear on your Time Machine backup drive. Select it and click on the arrow button below the icon. If all is well your machine should boot into the Recovery HD utilities screen.
    If all is well then after you replace your drive boot from the Time Machine Recovery HD. Start by:
    Drive Preparation for Lion
    1.  Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is an entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After finishing formatting quit DU and return to the main menu. Select the option to Restore from a Time Machine backup then click on the Continue button.

  • How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

    How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
    My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
         -I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
         -I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

    Good luck.
    Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

  • How to make a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) work properly with a 3M Streaming projector?

    Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009), a 3M Streaming projector and very annoying problem.
    When I connect my MacBook Pro with a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to the 3M projector, I get a pink tint, like a filter over the image, it’s very frustrating.
    This are the tests I’ve done:
    1. I tried the adaptor and the projector on a different (more recent) Mac -> It worked fine.
    2. I tried connecting my MacBook Pro to a different not HDMI but VGA projector -> It worked fine.
    3. I used some Terminal code I found on the web to force the Mac to send RGB signal, don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but I tried anyway -> Didn’t work
    So I’m confused, it’s not the physical port of my MacBook cause it worked fine with a VGA projector, It’s no the 3M projector and it’s not the Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor cause it worked fine on a different Mac.
    So what is it?
    I’m totally desperate, I haven’t been able to solve this problem, so if you guys can help me you will be my heroes.
    Thanks.

    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.

    Your Mac has (or used to have) a built-in Optical drive. You need a physical DVD for Windows and a USB2 flash drive for BC drivers. Bootcamp Info.plist modifications cause more problems than they resolve.
    Your Mac is also not UEFI compliant, late 2013+ Macs are the first ones to be, so EFI boot will not work.

  • MacBook Pro mid 2009 HDD to a Kingston SSD SATA drive - Problems

    Hi
    I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I'm running OSX Mavericks with Windows 8.1 Pro Bootcamp.  I wanted to upgrade to an SSD drive and after reading the great reviews on Amazon, I purchased a Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" V300 SATA 3.
    Many of the buyers had installed the SSD drive on Macbook Pro, including "mid 2009' models without any real problems but I've just spent the best part of 3 hours trying to install the drive but so far, it has not worked and the problem seems to be that, although the Acronis True Image software that comes with the drive to 'clone' the source drive and install it onto the destination drive (new SSD drive), I get a message which states, "WARNING:  After migration, the O/S will not be able to boot from the destination disk in the BIOS - If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system and then restart".
    During one of my first attempts to install the SSD drive, I removed the original HDD from the MBP and installed it in the supplied 2.5" caddy and and connected it to the MBP via the USB cable supplied then installed the new Kingston SSD SATA3 drive in the MBP, powered up and then rebooted.  The Acronis bootable software launched and after choosing 'clone disk', cose source and destination drives, I got a message saying:  "The selected disk will be migrated as is (disks layout will remain GPT)".  "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in the BIOS".
    My system has the latest available Boot ROM Version (MBP.00AC.B03 and the SMC Version is 1.47f2 and as far as I am aware, Apple computers have no BIOS that you can access like on Windows computers and instead use EFI instead.
    Both drives had Extended Journaled GUID Partitions on them and what baffles me is that other buyers of these Kingston SSD SATA3 drives appear to have managed to install the SSD drive, but I've had to give up.
    I would really like to get the SSD drive working but so far I've failed.  Any advice would be appreciated and I'll try it out before reluctantly returning the drive for refund.

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes the Acronis software is Windows but I read through a lot of reviews on the Kingston SSD SATA 3 drives Amazon and from what I can gather, after removing the original drives and installing that in the 2.5" caddy and then installing the new SD drive in the Macbook, those buyers then used the software to boot from and clone the source drive to the new drive.
    I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my first post, but I did use the Disk Utility in Mac OSX and erased, formatted and partitioned the drive and then pushed CMD + R at start up but I was not able to install a copy of the OS because the drive was not recognised.
    I think I also used the disk utility in Windows and then tried again in OSX but no luck.  I'm no expert but as stated above, the issue seems to be that the SSD drive is not booable in the BIOS (or Mac equivalent).
    The SSD drive is SATA 3 and I'm sure that the SATA ports are SATA 1 on my MBP and maybe that the problem Perhaps someone can confirm this.

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
    The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
    The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

  • How do I get sound & video from my MacBook Pro (mid 2009)?

    When I connect My MacBook Pro (mid 2009) to my HDMI TV I get a good picture but no sound. I use two cables, one fron the Mini DisplayPort and the other from the headphone jack. How do I get sound on my TV from my macbook pro?

    Solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column and by doing a forum search.

    I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • On a MacBook Pro Mid-2009, i got a black screen.

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro Mid-2009 17inch.
    I use to run Windows XP for gaming. Recently, my logic board has been replaced. Now, i am unable to boot into my Windows partition : i am getting a black screen.
    I deleted it with BootCamp assistant and created a new one.
    Now, when i insert the windows install dvd, after reboot still stuck on black screen. I tried with XP install dvd and a brand new windows 7 install DVD.
    Any suggestion accepted.
    Kind regards,

    Try smc and pram resets:
    SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Macbook pro mid 2009 - beach ball spinning after one hour

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my macbook pro mid 2009. After one hour of working the beach ball starts spinning and you cannot work anylonger.
    You have to force shut down the macbook pro and restart it. The same problem appears once I wanna do a back-up on my time capsule, but then I receive at least a report after restart:

    Can somebody help me, what's wrong with my macbook? I already changed the ram, but it didn't help...
    Best regards,
    Sebastian

    Hi,
    I just found the problem. I just have to update the firmware of my SSD:
    Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs 5184 hours power-on time BSOD issue
    Crucial M4 and RealSSD C400 SSDs with firmware earlier than 70H / 07M could become unresponsive after 5184 hours of Power-on time. The drive will recover after a power cycle, however, this failure will repeat once per hour after reaching this point. Update firmware to version 70H / 07M or later.
    My SSD has now 5690hours...

    Look in the Boot Camp system requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    Find your computer model and year. I think you will find that you should be using version 4 of the Windows support software.
