OS X 10.4 on a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5
Beginning to think about moving from my eMac.
Now that Marathon has moved along,
the only thing I want to bring along is Photoshop 7.0
which runs on OS X 10.4.11 at the latest.
Currently, I have a firewire hard disk with a 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 volume.
I boot into 10.4.11 when I want to use Photoshop.
I might inherit a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5 installed.
Any way to get it to boot into a 10.4.11 volume?
never hurts to ask
If so, which Tiger disk do I need to scrounge up?
My Tiger disk is PPC only.
Previous version of OSX cannot be installed.
Best.

Did anyone else get a brand new mac book pro that came with items already in the favorites tab?
just bought a brand new mac book pro went online and noticed that there were already items saved to favorites, strange things about pumpkin cheesecake.
You could have purchased a refurbished computer.
Take it back and voice your concern and where ever you purchased it from will probably swap it out for you -

The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

How do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running os x 10.5.8
how do i download 10.9 or 10.8 if i have a 2008 mac book pro running 10.5.8
I might also add your signature is not in congruence with your post. Do you have 10.8.5, or 10.5.8. 10.8.5 is a free update to 10.9. 10.5.8, you must buy 10.6, download the free 10.6.8 combo to get to 10.8 or 10.9 via the App Store.
The sequence of the numbers matters greatly.
Per my prior post
10.5.8 < 10.6< 10.6.8 < 10.7 < 10.8 < 10.8.5 < 10.9
People just wanting 10.7 from 10.5.8 can purchase either 10.6 on CD, download 10.6.6 combo, and use the App Store to upgrade to 10.7. They can also purchase the 10.7 USB Flash drive if it can be found, and install it on an external drive, and import the data over once they are ready to run 10.7.
The key is knowing your software and driver compatibility. -
I ahve a late 2008 Mac Book Pro and would like to upgrade the memory to 8g. I can only find 2 options Crucial and Ramjet. There is a $40 difference in the cost. Does anyone know if one is better than the other?
I have gotten my RAM from either Crucial or Macsales. They are both excellent.

My late 2008 mac book pro runs slow and freezes
Hi, there! I have a late 2008 mac book pro and few months ago I upgraded the operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Since then my mac book often freezes, it is much slower than it was with Snow Leopard and the most annoying thing of all, is the almost inevidable freezing of the toolbar (where language selection, date, clock and other useful tools are located)
I was wondering if someone has experienced similar issues with his Mac Book Pro when upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion and if someone knows if and how this issue can be resolved?
Thank you.I have the same problem. Up until 2 days ago my MacBook Pro was running fine, then suddenly things started going wrong. I am using mac os x 10.6.7 as well. Does this have something to do with any firmware updates.
Any help/ suggestions welcome. -
I have a 2008 mac book....with 1GB 667hz DDR2 RAM 1GB each....I want to upgrade it with DDR3 Rams 2GB each, it is possible?
No, the two RAM types are different, and the architecture has to specifically be able to interface with it. You can upgrade to 2x2GB of DDR2 memory, for a total of 4GB.

I cannot get Lion to install on my 2008 Mac Book pro. It has 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM of memory and has a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Is there still something that I am missing?
OS X 10.9.4 is the current release of the operating system. Older versions are not available from the app store. Does your system meet the requirements for OS X 10.9?

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do. -
Im not able to use facetime at all. Do some countries have restrictions. Can anyone help me out ? I use a Mac Book pro retina display with OSx Mountain lion.

I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.
10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood. -
