Mid-2009 Mac Book Pro Screen Starting to come off

Hi.
I bought my MacBook Pro in July of 2009, and yesterday I realized that the screen "cover" was beginning to come loose at the top near the iSight camera. Is there a way for me to re-secure the screen so that things don't get worse?
Right now, there is no problem with viewing the screen itself. I guess that you could say that the black border surrounding the screen itself is beginning to come loose.
Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on how I could re-secure this part of the screen?
Thanks.

Any suggestions on how I could re-secure this part of the screen?
Yes: Don't!
Let Apple do it. This is why you have a warranty.

Cannot get TV to mirror mid-2009 Mac Book Pro screen

I previously had no trouble using my TV as a mirror for my mid-2009 MacBook Pro but suddenly found I could not longer do so. Sadly I cannot remember just how I set it up originally. Advice on the web entails going to Displays in Apple Preferences and then clicking on an Arrangement tab and then on a mirroring box. Unforunately, the tab does not show up on my machine so I am unable to check the box as suggested. I am using OS X 10.7.5. All help to restore mirroring would be much appreciated.

Problem solved. I zapped the PRAM once. Nothing happened. But repeated zapping - about fiur or five times - established the link.It also showed the Arrangement tab in Displays whoch apparently only appears when the link is established.

I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

Yes. You need 2011 or later in order to mirror as it requires the newer processor. The alternative is airparrot, which does it via software.

Installing Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition (mid-2009 mac book pro with mountain lion) My computer won't boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

Hello,
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro (mid 2009, MBP53). I have successfully created a bootcamp partition using the assistant. When the computer tries to boot from the windows 7 install dvd, the screen is just black. The dvd spins for a bit, then stops and the computer is just black (no blinking cursor).
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

What kind of an install DVD are you using for Windows?
You can use any DVDs that are hardware specific. Only the full non-hardware soecific DVDs work on the Mac.

17-inch, Mid 2009 mac book pro freezes on startup

My MBP occasionally freezes on startup.
it is a 17-inch, Mid 2009 model details as follows
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
The problem first occured before upgrading to Lion, but does seem to be getting progressively worse.
I start the mbp, get the login screen, enter login and password succefully, and get the opening screen appropriate for my login...
BUT am unable to select anything or perform any actions except using the on/off button to turn the mbp off, when its turned on it usually logs me in succesfully and then behaves as normal until the next login or the one after that ...
Anyone have any ideas what might cause this or if there are any known cures?
Thanks

Reinstalling Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Mid 2013 Mac Book Pro constantly freezing up and needing a hard restart

My mid 2012 mac book pro randomly started freezing while in use back in october. I had never had any problems with it and one night the beachball came up and nothing worked until I did a hard restart. Since then it's been happening constantly. I've had the hard drive replaced after being told that it was likely failing and the problem still remains. I've reset the Pram and everything else that can be reset. I reinstalled Lion. I've taken it to the apple store and they ran all the hardware and software test including the over night stress test for hardware and they found nothing wrong. They did a clean install at the store and the problem is still there. It is not program specific (it freezes while using any program or while doing nothing at all), it's not a ram issue. I don't have any apps except those that have come through the app store. I'm not sure what to do with it. It's basically rendered my $1300 computer unusable. Any thoughts. I'm going to try mavericks and see if that helps, have been running lion. From reading other forums it seems like this has happened to others, but it seems like everyone has different answers. Some switched to a different os, others found small hardware issues.

If it's behaving like the hard drive is bad and it's not, another likely candidate is the SATA cable which connects the drive to the motherboard. An easy way to test this is to take the drive out of the computer, move it to an external housing, and boot it from there by holding down the Option key and selecting that drive when you boot up. If everything runs fine, the SATA cable is the problem.

My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it.

Hi,
My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it, i have no idea why, its like its inside the screen, its never been dropped or had anything fall on it and the mark is starting to get bigger. Has anyone else had the same problem? i've inserted a pic of it, hopefully you can make it out.
Thank You

I see a multitude of white marks on your display. Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians examine the MBP. Hardware problems such as this cannot be solved via these forums.
Ciao.

My mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

my mac book pro doesnt start up after a small flash in jack when plugged in

It's a mac book pro 17", OS X 10,5 . It worked perfectly but when I (or actually my friend) plugged the jack into the wall outlet it came a small flash (in the wall outlet) and then it didn't start up. No sound, no light on the screen. I didn't actually see what happened, but I asked if she plugged it in with the magsafe wire still attached to the computer, and she believed she might have. Is there anything to do? I have a couple of mac computers, two other mac book pro (writing on the newest one now - 13" - late 2011 - OS X Lion 10.7.5), if it could help.

I have a 2009 mac book pro. CDs will not load in OSX - however it will load CDs in Win 7 via bootcamp. Same with any CD or DVD. Any ideas on what is wrong?

I have a 2009 mac book pro running 10.6.8. I also use win 7 via boot camp. I can load CDs and DVDs fine, when booted onto win 7 but cannot get the same dvds or cds loaded when running OSX. So, I'm having to reboot to win 7, every time I want to import a CD into my itunes library - I load the disc in win 7, then reboot back to osx in order to import the CD into my itunes library (which i have on my OSX side). When running OSX, everytime I try to load any CD or DVD, the drive shoots the disc right out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

My 2009 mac book pro is full

My 2009 mac book pro is full and i think it is because of the videos and pictures i have. I also have a 1TB airport wireless router that the "time machine" runs on. is there any way i can copy over older videos and pictures from my computer to the router so i free up memory on my computer? Also, what's the best way to delete videos and pictures from imovie and iphoto - through finder or through the application itself. I thought this would have been easier but it's not.

Here's freeing up disk space.
