MBP mid 2009, Mountain Lion and PRESONUS FP10

Hello!
I have an opportunity to buy used Presonus FP10, but I am not sure is it completely compatible with my MBP - mid 2009, CORE 2 DUO and Mountain Lion and Logic Pro 9???
It is very good interface but a bit outdated, so I am worried! I don't want to spend my money if it won't work on my MAChine!
Thank you!

Hi, Damon
I gave up from buying it. As I didn't get any valid information about FP, I stopped thinking about it. I've been looking all over the Internet and came up with Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Somehow, I find it even better choice, so we will see it tomorrow! I hope it is boxed with Firewire Adapter (400-800), too. It is 777 KM which is about 500 $.
Is it worth the money?
If it is compatible with Lion, I assume it should work with ML, too!

Random crash on MBP (Mid 2010) - Mountain Lion

Hi guys, I'm currently using this machine, it was given to me by a colleague that use it for almost two years without any issues.
When I got the machine I just did the following:
1. Format the hard drive (HDD) and replace it with my working SSD (OCZ Vertex 2 180GB)
2. Install a brand new Mountain Lion, Office and a few programs (nothing harmless or complex I think, istat for example)
Since my first day with the machine I am experiencing some random crashes, I've readed A LOT about the Video Issue with this particular MacBook Pro but I didn't think I have it cause the machine was working perfectly before I reinstalled the software and the failure behavior is quite different as I have readed so far.
My machine just pop up the gray screen whit this message (http://roberthuttinger.blogsite.org/images/kernel_panic.jpg) that says that something went wrong and ask me to press a key to reboot the machine, when I do it I get an error report that i don't understand.
My CPU temp always is between 45 and 80 and mostly of the time is around 60 C.
I'll appreciate any help or Ideas you may have,
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply, here you go,

MBP OS X Mountain Lion and Philips TV miscoloration etc

Since Apple can't fix this problem I might as well make another post just in case someone has the same problem as I did and not the same luck in finding a solution.
My problem was that the colors changed every now and then when I was watching something from the computer on my Philips LCD-TV using the HDMI-output. Found the solution, which is to do the following:
1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
2. Unarchive it
3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
5. Reboot
Can't believe that Apple still hasn't done anything about this problem. Oh well.

Hi!

Thanks and sorry by my bad english.

stevie, a third party app called airparrot will give you the pretty much the same as mirroring and forks on Macs too old to mirror.

I think I finished installing Mountain Lion, and am at the "log in" page with my name and the Lion icon, but I cannot do any of the functions on screen. That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

Back again to mini display to hdmi cable.
could you help me????

It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows

You did not contact us. This is just a user to user forum where we try to help each other out. No one here works for Apple and as far as we know Apple do not even come here. Ring back the number you originally called on and ask for an explanation.
Cheers

Is it possible to uninstall mountain lion and go back to snow leopard

Have an mid-2009 macbook pro and since installing Mountain Lion it has become very slow on startup, shutdown and everything inbetween including random crashes of software. Is is possible to go back to Snow Leopard ?
Thanks

Also you should look at this User tip as well, because your machine is a bit dated and likely needs a new boot drive + more RAM and performance tweaks for maximum Snow Leopard performance.
For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
Snow Leopard is extremely fast on my Early 2011 machine here, it's because it's a 32 bit operating system that can address up to 16GB of RAM (or more)
OS X Lions are 64 bit operating systems so they act more like trucks and can move better in bulk.
Snow Leopard is like a small race car.

I have a white macbook purchased early 2008. I'm updated to ver. 10.6.8 can I upgrade to the new mountain lion and will it operate?

It doesn't appear to be Mountain Lion compatible. See below.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio

Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio.
How do I get it back?!

1. Open Activity Monitor.app (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app)
2. Select ‘All Processes’ from the drop down menu next to the search bar (called ‘Filter:’) and type in ‘coreaudio’.
3. Select the process name and click the ‘Quit Process’ button at the top. Chose ‘Quit’ or ‘Force Quit’ from the resulting dialogue box.
The coreaudio process will automatically restart itself (if you look closely at the PID number in Activity Monitor you’ll notice it changes after you hit ‘Quit’) and your sound problems should be solved.

I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?

I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives.

I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I can't upgrade my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion and then Maverics

It all started with trying to get the latest version of Aperture. I'm running ver 3.4.5 and want to upgrade to ver 3.5. Well it now seems that to upgrade to ver 3.5 I need to upgrade to Maverics, but since Im running Lion ver 10.7.5 I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion first.
No matter what I clik on or check I'm getting messages saying my Macbook Pro - a 17" 2007 model intel 2.33GHz Core Duo won't upgrade to Maverics and I can't find a link to download to Mountain Lion any longer.
This is very annoying as there is nothing wrong with the Mac and I only really use it for Aperture.
Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade to Mountain Lion and then Meverics? I really don't want to have to buy a new Mac.
The serial number of my Mac is W871801MX6C.
Thanks for any help.....

The maximum OSX for a 2007 17" MBP is Lion, 10.7.5. stedman1 is correct.
Ciao.

MBP mid 2009, Mountain Lion and PRESONUS FP10
