My MacBook Pro 2010 won't update from 10.6.8 to 10.9

Recently I tried updating my MacBook Pro 2010 13 inch from osx 10.6.8 to osx 10.9.
On the mavericks installer my hard drive is greyed out and when I try to click on it to install mavericks it just says "you cannot install osx to this harddrive". My specs are 4 GB of ram, 2.4ghz processor, 250 GB harddrive with 249 GB of free spaces.
Please help!

How is the drive formatted and what is the Partition Table set to. If you have a format of "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Case sensitive" or the Partition Table is set to anything other than GUID that might be the reason Mavericks won't install. Not really sure but check that out.
Other than that you could backup you Mac with time machine, wipe the drive, actually repartition it with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) [NO Case Sensitive] and a partition table of GUID and do a clean install of Snow Leopard, Update that to 10.6.8 then upgrade to Mavericks use Migration assistant to restore your files setting and apps.

Macbook Pro 2010 won't F update

i got given a 4gb macbook pro 2010 for christmas. its running on version 10.7.5
i tried updating it to Mavericks from the app store but i dont hav enough memory,
i have also tried searching for new updates but it cant fin any,
when i try and buy an item from the app store it says that os x 10.9 and above is required.
how do i find an update to satisfy this?
HELP

OS X Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store, so do it.
If you get a message telling you that you do not have enough memory, it is because you do not have enough free space on the hard drive to install OS X Mavericks, so you need to delete files or move them to an external drive.
In order to get free space, see > http://thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html Once you have enough free space, download OS X Mavericks and upgrade, so you will be able to install all applications that require OS X Mavericks. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

Macbook pro 2010 crashes after waking from sleep

Hi,
I upgraded to mountain lion a month or so ago and ever since my MBP often crashes after waking from sleep. I've included the error report below. Any help would be appreciated. After it restarts, it works fine. Problem consistently happens after waking from sleep.
Thank-you

Back up all data, then uninstall the Razer and Blackberry software according to the developers' instructions. Reboot and test. Most likely there will be no change. In that case, see below:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Macbook Pro 2010 won't recognise Dell Ultrasharp 2312hm

Hi
Desperate for help
Have purchased a Dell Ultrasharp 2312HM
I have connected it to my macbook pro 6.2 2010 (Serial Number (system): W8******AGW) via DVI cable and DVI to mini displayport connector at the mac end)
I have selected DVI input on the monitor but it just says no computer detected and goes into sleep mode
At the mac end of things, the macbooc screen flashes blue momentarily then goes back to normal.
In display preference on the mac, clicking the 'Detect displays' button has no effect whatsoever.
So in summary, the monitor is on and wired up to mac, but mac isnt detecting it
There was an identical issue from someone else back in 2012 and a long thread. I don't believe the person ever got it sorted.
...oh and Dell don't provide any support for this and say it's not compatible, but I can see from numerous threads that others have it working perpectly.
2 things I've thought of...the dell monitor instructions says it comes with a white DVI cable. Mine is black that was in the box.
I purchased a fairly cheap DVI to mini displayport adaptor on Ebay. Could this be duff? (the seller only had positive feedback)
Help before I go mental!
thank you!

Brand New MacBook Pro. Won't Update

Hello
Setup my brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2.5Ghz 8GB Ram today.
Current OS: OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
Would like to update to OSX 10.8.2 but the update does not show in the App Store.
I downloaded the files from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581 but does not work as i get a "This Volume does not meet the requirements" and so can't update.
How can i fix this. Thanks.

Think i solved my own problem.
Am I correct in thinking that Apple have installed a special build of OSX 10.8.1 on MacBook Pros and have not yet released an update for 10.8.2 on MacBook Pro?
Amazining that i can never find anything i need untill i created my own topic and then what i need meraculously appears in the related topics!

Macbook Pro 13" won't wake from sleep

Have mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13" that repeatedly won't wake from sleep. Either putting to sleep via lid closure or sleep command, seems to enter sleep OK. Sleep light slowly flashes indicating sleep. When I open lid, light goes out but screen doesn't come on. I have hold power button down to force it off and reboot. Very annoying. Occasionally, the laptop is warm and you can hear the fan running.
I have taken to Genius Bar twice to no avail. They could duplicate the problem the first time I had it in and ran some type of software repair. Didn't permanently fix issue. Second trip they tech thought it might be one of the two internal sleep switches. She ordered them but when they ran diagonsics on those switches, the said they were good and didn't replace or repair anything.
I have replaced both HDD and RAM and reinstalled 10.8 but problem continues. Any suggestions?

Not sure if this will help--but my MacBook was having similar problems. It would fall asleep and then when I would try to wake the computer, the screen would stay black but the computer was running.
Here is what I tried:
Turn of your mac
Press the power on button
Immediately after you press the power on button: hold down the following 4 keys:
Command + Option + P + R. Continue to hold them down until you hear your mac make the power on sound twice. Once you hear it twice, let go of all keys.
This should re-set the sleep settings. Worked for my computer, I hope it works for you if you haven't already tried it.

Macbook Pro (2008) won't wake from sleep?

Two days ago, a day after replacing an old battery, my 2008 model Macbook Pro refused to wake from sleep. For the past 48 hours it has been doing one of two things.
          A) It will act normally, except that the screen is blank (make the start-up sound, and sound as though it's running when I try to wake it)
           or
          B) Act as if it's sleeping.
I have tried:
-Resetting the SMC
-Resetting the PRAM
-Restarting the laptop from battery power
-Restarting with it plugged in a battery removed
Someone gave me the idea to hook up an external monitor, and see if it's my screen, but it's in the "Don't wake from sleep" stage at the moment. It's is out of warranty, so I want to see if anyone has any solutions or suggestions before I pay someone to take a look at it.
Thanks!

I'm convinced the price of repairs is a ploy to drive up new sales figures! As are these convenient 'catastrophic' hardware issues! It's odd that every post asking about this fault crop up after 4 or 5 years of impeccable reliability, it's like they are self destruct to force you into the clutches of an overly friendly assistant who leaves you wanting to invite them round for Sunday dinner because your nan will adore them! Ahhh well shiny new apple things do fill the void in lives only satisfied by something over priced to stroke and adore!

Brand New Macbook Pro 17 Won't Wake From Sleep

6 day old Macbook Pro 17 unibody refuses to go past white screen. I have tried a forced reboot. Nothing. Laptop just goes to white screen with no response from keyboard. Can't boot into safe-mode. Can't do anything. Logo doesn't appear. Just white screen and sits there indefinetely.
HELP!

Furthermore, I am now hearing a faint repeated beep coming from the lower right side. (where I assume the HD is)

Macbook Pro 15" won't boot from ANYTHING :( Can't mount internal drive

Hi there,
I'm new to these forums so please bear with me if I make a faux pas.
A few days ago while watching a movie on my MBP Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5 the beach ball of death appeared and the computer became unresponsive. I restarted to the flashing folder with a question mark.
Tried to boot from the install disk - No joy : Occasionally gets to the language selection screen (after a good 5-8 minute wait) and then instantly and completely freezes. Cursor won't move, caps lock light is unresponsive etc..
Tried to boot from Diskwarrior - Similar to the above. Long wait, boots to the Diskwarrior 'setting up' screen, unresponsive cursor - despite, Diskwarrior seemingly going through the motions (status in text changes, menu bar appears) and then it reports an unexpected error with code 60, 2105 and completely freezes.
Can't boot from a USB flash drive with a clean version of OS X made from my install disk.
Disk won't mount when in target disk mode. However the DVD drive mounts it's contents onto the host machine when it target mode.
I removed the drive last night and placed it in an external enclosure and OS X reports "The disk you've inserted is not recognised et.. "Initialise" "Ignore" "Eject". The drive appears in Disk Utility but all options are greyed out, SMART status says 'not supported' and it's capacity is shown as 0 bytes. The drive registers in the Hardware pane of Diskwarrior but no-where else.
I'm fine with the fact that the drive has failed but could these problems indicate something more serious? I'm concerned that the machine won't boot from any device or media. Is this a symptom of a failed hard drive or could this be a logic board issue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks all and Happy new Year.
XOXO

You might try a PRAM reset and see if this does any good.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
It sounds like the hard drive itself is toast based on how it looks in an enclosure. So you won't be able to boot from it. Possibly after a PRAM reset you could option boot to a disc or to your external drive.
I had the experience of a failed hard drive totally messing up my PowerMacG4, and it took some doing to get it going again. I finally got it going again, and it has been working ever since without issue.
The MBP is a different machine, but having experienced first hand what a dying hard drive could do, I think it's well worth doing any resets you can.
If no joy, make an appointment at the genius bar and ask them if they can run a hardware test from their store feed. If you do have other issues, they should show up then.
If you end up being able to boot to the optical drive, you could try running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test yourself.
Good luck!

Brand New MacBook Pro 15" Won't Boot from CD only

This Macbook (which I just bought today) seems to refuse to boot CDs.
- Booting from the normal hard drive works fine.
- Loading the CD from the OS when booting from the hard drive works fine (I can interact with the CDs normally)
- Same problem with Apple OS disk & self-burned TechTool Pro disk
I've tried resetting the PRAM three times now. Any idea what's wrong?

Hmm, I hadn't tried booting the system restore CDs that came with it. Turns out they work just fine. The two CDs I was trying to boot (but aren't working) are:
- Micromat TechTool Pro 5.0.4 (self-burned on a Gigaware DVD-R)
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard OEM (bought independent of this machine when Snow Leopard was first released)
I've since tried resetting the SMC by another Apple Support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) to see if that helps. My TechTool DVD still won't boot, and I haven't tried the Snow Leopard disc yet, but the CDs that came with the MacBook work fine.
It's also interesting in "how" it "doesn't work".
(By CD in the following points, I mean the TechTool CD):
1. I insert the CD when the system is running normally. I can install TT, and browse the contents of the CD without issue.
2. I restart the machine, holding down the Option key. Both my HD and the TT CD appear as bootable options. I select the CD.
3. I get the grey Apple, but the "spinning wheel" never appears. After a few minutes, all noise from the super drive dies, and the system sits there interminably.
Both the burned TT and Snow Leopard CDs boot just fine on my girlfriends older 13" white MacBook. Any reason why mine would boot some CDs and not others, when the others boot fine on other systems?

New MacBook Pro 13" won't wake from sleep

Been having this problem from day one. MBP is only a month old.
Every time the machine goes to sleep it will not wake. No response to mouse or keyboard commands. Each time I have to do a force shut down and restart the machine. Not ideal.
Local tech guys had a look and said taht the machine wasn't saving a sleep image, they fixed that, ran some updates and the first test I did the machine did wake from sleep. Unfortunately that same night it was back to it's same no-wake state.
Anyone have any ideas as to what's happening here?

Not sure if this will help--but my MacBook was having similar problems. It would fall asleep and then when I would try to wake the computer, the screen would stay black but the computer was running.
Here is what I tried:
Turn of your mac
Press the power on button
Immediately after you press the power on button: hold down the following 4 keys:
Command + Option + P + R. Continue to hold them down until you hear your mac make the power on sound twice. Once you hear it twice, let go of all keys.
This should re-set the sleep settings. Worked for my computer, I hope it works for you if you haven't already tried it.

Macbook Pro 2010 won't boot

So I was using my MBP 2010 15" i7, I left the lid open and walked to the fridge to get something to eat. By the time I got back, the screen is black and the computer was off. I thought maybe it ran out of battery, so I plugged the power supply in and pressed the power button. The indicator on the magsafe stays green, even though I know it isn't fully charged. The computer will not make a noise or display anything, except the sleep indicator light which sort of blinks and cuts off sharply about 2 times per second. I have tried using a different outlet, and leaving it to charge for a while, but it still just won't turn on. I have read something about this saying the the RAM may have become dislodged or something similar, but I have never opened the case of the laptop, and i'm not sure if I would be confident touching intricate pieces of machinery like that. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

It's highly unlikely that this would have anything to do with your RAM, especially if you haven't ever opened the case.
You should try resetting the SMC. If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple, as it sounds like you may have had a hardware failure of some kind.

MacBook Pro 2010 hangs when booting from Windows install disk

Hi there,
I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I've used Bootcamp before so familiar I'm with how it should work. I have a USB CD drive, which I've used on other machines OK, and an official Windows Install Disk.
After Bootcamp finishes copying over all it's drivers etc to my external USB drive, it reboots. However, whenever I try to boot from a disk it always just hangs on the Apple logo (no spinning cog/wheel). This happens whenever the Bootcamp installer performs a reboot and/or when I hold down ALT on startup and select the boot CD.
I can still boot in to mac partition. Could this be a problem with the EFI? Any help with identifying this problem or how get the information to fix this problem would be much appreciated
Thanks.

Try resetting PRAM…

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

I have a 2010 macbook pro 2010 13.3" laptop that will not update from 10.6.3

I have an Apple macBook pro that will not update at all. It is a 13.3 model the initial load is 10.6.3. The battery is dead as well and the pram seems to not hold as well, time reset even when plugged in on restart. any update leads to the spinning wheel freezing, and i mean freeze even the dvd drive stops working completely. Any ideas?

You can update to higher versions of Snow Leopard by applying the combo updates, anyway. Your predicament may come from the fact that a prior update didn't install properly, and is blocking the install of other updates. You should download the combo updates from Apple's website, and apply them.
You'll find the 10.6.8 update here. You'll still have to apply the various security updates that have been released since, if any.
