Replacement keys for MacBook Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody

Is there any way to order replacement keys for the Late 2008 MacBook Aluminum Unibody model?
I ordered and received a new Enter and Shift key from numerous Apple retailers, but they do not fit properly. They only fit and snap correctly on the MacBook PRO Aluminum models.

Make an appointment at your local Genius Bar. I had a bad key a few months ago and it took all of 30 seconds for them to run to the back and replace it.

  • 320GB really the max upgrade for MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum Uni)?

    So, I've got my MacBook. It's the 13.3" aluminum unibody, from late 2008. Everything in it is stock, except I've upped the memory from 2GB to 4GB. The harddrive is still the original 250GB, which is pretty much full. I've been told by Apple that the highest capacity I can put into this one is 320GB, yet I see tons of posts from people who have put 500GB/1TB drives in and was wondering how THEY can do it, but I can't.
    Any suggestions/advice?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's listed as a MacBook. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link2
    As you can see, Apple officially supports 4 GB of memory in the Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook, but you can install 8 GB of memory without any problem. You can buy the memory in OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

  • EFI Firmware Update for Macbook Late 2008 aluminum

    hello,
    where can I buy a replacement battery for macbook early 2008 edition (white). Thanks

  • Cover/Case for 13" Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook?

    I have a 13" late 2008 aluminum MacBook and am trying to find a cover/case (preferably the hard shell) that will fit it. I read that they are no longer made for this model so it will be hard to find. The websites I found that offer cases for this model were not able to say that it would be a guaranteed fit. After seeing so many reviews about how they don't fit this model, I am hoping that someone on here could direct me to a website that sells ones that will for sure fit.

    Go to OWC's site,
    You'll see the selections on that page. Great company. No hassle returns and great support.

  • Upgrade SATA drive for macbook late 2008

    Hello!!
    I am here to ask for help. Let me tell you a bit more about my Mac:
    Late 2008 silver 13" MacBook 250GB 2GB RAM 2.4GHz IntelCore2Duo DDR3 MB467LL/A, currently at 10.5.8 OSx system (yes I know I need to update the software as well!)
    I currently bought 4GB kit (2x2GB) RAM to upgrade on my silver MacBook (late 2008), and would also like to update my hard drive.
    I have looked around on online shops for 2.5" 9mm SATA drive, and came across to 1TB for not too bad a price (between £85 to £100).
    Anyone know whether if this is ok for my laptop?
    Samsung, WD Scorpio Blue and Toshiba, all are at 5400rpm for 1TB. (However there is 750GB Seagate 7200rpm 16MB - recommended???)
    Large memory/drive are usually much needed with me as I do use a lot of design work e.g. Adobe InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop...you get the drift .
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Looking forward to hear from you soon!
    Thanks again,
    ejburton.

    If all the technical specs (like SATA, physical dimensions, power usage etc) all match then you can use any drive of any available size in your MBP. Right now it appears that the largest available is the Western Digital 250GB 5400rpm drive where as the fastest is the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive. Fujitsu and Toshiba have annonce 300GB drives though I've not heard that either are yet shipping.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased with the Hitachi 200GB 7200rpm drive.

  • Were can I find replacement keys for Macbook 13" (black)?

    I just want keys for the keyboard for a 13" (black) MacBook. Some of the keys have worn off and are white. I would like to just use a key-puller and replace them if possible. My GF would also be really happy as this is her Mac. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    I've used Powerbookmedic for replacement keys. See http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook-Keys---Individual-Key-Keycap-p-16959.html? utmsource=google&utm_medium=cpc&utmkeyword=macbook%20replacement%20keys&gclid=COvf06zq2aACFctY2god3C8ZCA

  • Replacement Keys for Macbook 13"

    Hi all,
    I was just wondering if the Genius Bar would be able to replace the white part (I'm not sure what they are called but they hold the key down) under the keys? Two of my keys on my keyboard popped off and after trying to put them back together the white part broke and now the keys won't go back into their original place.
    Would this be something that they could fix on the spot or would I have to send the computer away?
    Thank you!!

    Depends on the Genius bar.  Check with them. If they can't, you can probably buy the keys cheaply at http://www.welovemacs.com/
    I've known them to be able to replace keys on Powerbooks.

  • How to replace RAM on new late 2008 Aluminum 13" MacBook

    It's in the user guide. Page 42 (WARNING: PDF!):
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/MacBook_13inch_AluminumLate2008.pdf
    It looks slightly more involved then the previous model.

    Apple will upgrade the memory for you, or you can do it yourself as shown here by Apple: MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory.
    If you have Apple do it it will be more expensive, but will be easier and the memory will be guaranteed compatible. Doing it yourself is not hard, but can be a bit fiddly.
    All this assumes that you have the 13" MacBook Pro and not the 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Retina models have the RAM built in directly to the motherboard and are not upgradeable.

  • Where do I find replacement keys for Macbook Pro late '11?

    You can try an Apple store genius bar and see if they can help, and also try on-line at www.iFixit.com as they have a lot of parts for sale.

  • Suitcase for MacBook (Late 2008)

    Hello,
    I am using the MacBook for business meetings. Often the MacBook is in an traveling bag but that is roughly handled. I am searching for a stylish suitcase for this MacBook, with place for the MacBook, the adapter and some documents. I'd like the suitcase to be alumium style. A lock would be nice, but not needed.
    Searched some sites, but the most is for the MacBook Pro and not the 13" MacBook.
    Anyone has experience with a suitcase for his MacBook?

    I can't think of any at the top of my head, but there are sleeves and cases that you can put into another bag w/ other stuff.. something such as the apple sac cover the laptop and also have a little places for the magsafe

  • HDMI Port for MacBook (Late 2008)

    So I was wondering... Is there a way I can hook up my Mac to the Tv (BTW I don't have a built-in HDMI port)?

    Depends on what input plug you'll be using on your TV. VGA, DVI, Composite or HDMI. You'll need a Mini-DVI (Not Mini DisplayPort) adapter and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV if you use VGA, DVI, or Composite using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs.
    The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI. Check your TV manual though to see if it might have audio plugs that work with one of the HDMI ports. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.

  • Will Macbook late 2008 aluminum work with N wireless router?

    I see in the tech specs that it is a/b/g compatible. Will it work with an N router?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The short answer is 'Yes', it will work with an N router.

  • Aluminum Unibody Macbook Late 2008 Hard Drive Compatability

    What are the maximum specs on a SATA hard drive that the late 2008 aluminum unibody Macbook supports? Would a 1 TB 7200 rpm hard drive work up to spec if I were to install it? Or is the max that I can install 500 gb 5400 rpm?

    I mean rotational speed is NOT something limited by chipsets.
