Can't install Windows 8.1 on Macbook Pro (mid 2012) after installing/removing refit
So I recently installed and removed rEFit on my macbook (I was trying to clone a windows install to the drive to keep it handy, and thought I'd need it to boot from the install), and haven't been able to get Windows 8.1 (x64) to install since -- I keep getting an error message (0x C0000005). I've tried removing all the partitions the installer makes, leaving extra room, etc, but nothing works. I tried to run the EFI updater, but it says it isn't supported by the system (I downloaded the 9,1 version).
Anyone have any ideas?Quick update -- I've tried resetting the pram, running the windows startup repair, and running bootrec.exe through the command prompt. No luck with those so far.
Just opened disk utility and saw the screenshot below....could be part of it, but I've deleted the partitions several times... -
i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your helpIt means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
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.
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
button.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive. -

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply. -
No audio after Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update Macbook Pro Mid 2009
A few days ago I downloaded some updates for Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro Mid 2009. After that there is no sound and internal speakers are not listed as an output device. The startup sound is still working (I would guess it uses the same speakers?) but nothing else makes a sound through the speakers. Also headphones are working. I'm not 100% sure if my OS version vas 10.8.2 before the update or not.
I have tried to input the headphones in and out many times to make sure that no microswitches are stuck. Also I have reset SMC and NVRAM/PRAM and reinstalled Mountain Lion. I even installed Lion (10.7.0) to be sure but it still won't work.
Any help would be appreciated.Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Issues with installing OSX Version 10.9.2 on MacBook Pro Mid 2009
I received an update notification OSX Version 10.9.2 when I follow the process for updates I get message that "Updates not installed and some updates could not be installed automatically"! Is there a problem wit this version?
Hey, I do not have the exact same problem but trying to update to 10.9.2 causes my macbook to be stucked in black screen + curser after boot up. I have looked through forums for an answer but nothing worked for me (such as reboot, reset NVRAM, disk verification, disk/permission repair, password entry, control-option-command+8, fresh osx 10.9.2 install). To be sure that my disk is properly working, I have installed the original snow leopard os, this worked fine. I also could access the recovery console.
To be able to use my mac I have now restored to 10.9.1 from my TM backup. Dont know if I should report this strange behaviour to Apple. Maybe there are others who have discovered the same issue?
Let me know pls.
cheers.

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.

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,
SebastianHi,
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... -
Can intel 520 series SSD be installed in macbook pro mid 2009
This is some of the information for the 180g SSD I want to replace my HD in my 13" macbook pro mid 2009
25nm NAND Flash Memory
2.5” form factor
SATA 6.0 Gb/s performance
My computer though has this information for its hard drive:
Product: MCP79 AHCI
Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit
Description: AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
I know that the SATA 6.0 will be backwards compatible with my connection, but I was wondering if I am going to hit any problems. I am going to do a full time machine backup so I can have everything cloned onto the SSD, but want to know before I buy the SSDRecently installed same type of SSD (Intel 520 120GB) in our 2010 Macbook (white) and runs just as well as its big bro. No problems at all. Storage isn't an issue since most stuff's in the cloud these days and we carry large files around on a USB stick. Way to go!

Help on installing Snow Leopard on Macbook pro mid 2009
I have macbook pro mid 2009 with 10.5.8 upgrade as latest. I am planning to install snow leopard on it. However before i do that i will upgrade the hard disk to 500gb and ram to 8 gb. As i never done reinstalling os on mac My question is
Should i install the original os first (which is leopard) and then upgrade it to snow leopard and backup my files from time machine ?
or
Can i just install snow leopard and back up my files from time machine?
Thanks for your answers in advanceI would upgrade your system to Snow Leopard first, then backup the entire system to Time Machine. Then upgrade your hard drive install Mac OS X 10.6 then on the set up screen (Do You Already Own a Mac?" click the button that states "from a Time Machine backup".

Can i install 1TB to macbook pro mid 2009
hello,
i have a macbook pro mid 2009, 2.66ghz 2 duo and i want to install a new HDD
can i install 1TB??
what is the biggest HDD storage that the notebook can handle??
and how do i install my mac os x to the new HDD?
thank you.The MacBook Pro's take 2.5" SATA hard drives. If you are going to replace the drive, now would be the time to upgrade to a 7200rpm drive; about the largest capacity you will find is 750GB. Also, since this will be your main hard drive, stay away from any green or blue drives; the supposed energy saving features will also reduce performance. May I suggest looking at OWC for their recommendations about hard drives for your specific model MBP.
You install OS X via the recovery DVDs that came with your MBP. One is for OS X, the other contains the Apple applications (iLife, etc). Of course, that will install the version of OS X that originally came with your MBP (a 2009 MBP probably came with Leopard 10.5). If you don't have the recovery DVDs, or want to install a later version of OS X, then I suppose you will need to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD and install that before upgrading to Mt. Lion. -
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 -
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. -
Yosemite Issues on Macbook Pro mid 2009
I have a macbook pro with a 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of Memory. I have more than enough HD space. Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have been having issues with running my mac. It runs super slow, every program takes 5 minutes to open. If I open iTunes and iPhoto, I might as well walk away and come back later.
This issue only started happening with Yosemite. Is my system to old to handle it? Do I need to upgrade or what can I do. I'm a web designer and user Photoshop and all of the adobe programs a lot. I can't sit and wait 10 minutes to open a program, please help.
Thanks,

I have looked through forums for an answer but nothing worked for me (such as reboot, reset NVRAM, disk verification, disk/permission repair, password entry, control-option-command+8, fresh osx 10.9.2 install). To be sure that my disk is properly working, I have installed the original snow leopard os, this worked fine. I also could access the recovery console.
To be able to use my mac I have now restored to 10.9.1 from my TM backup. Dont know if I should report this strange behaviour to Apple. Maybe there are others who have discovered the same issue?
Let me know pls.
cheers.

Bullets change characters when printing
I'm having a weird bullet issue. I'm using InDesign CS6 and have a paragraph style with bullets that looks fine on screen, fine as a PDF, and fine when I print in color. But when I print in black and white all of the bullets change to the number 9.
