Updated my 2008 MacBook Pro to Mavericks. Tuneup for Mac won't run w/10.9.  what do I use for housekeeping?

Updated my 2008 MacBook pro to Mavericks.Lost some programs that won't run on Mavericks.  One being Tuneup for Mac. Used for housekeeping and cleaning up the machine.  Can't figure out how run maintenance on drive w/o this.  Seached for scheduled maintenance in help, nothing.

"Scheduled" maintenance is all done by the OS - there's nothing you should run for "housekeeping". DO yourself a favor with the new OS and read...
-> The myth of the dirty Mac
-> Mac Performance Guide
-> Tuning Mac OS X Performance
Good luck,

  • Unpredictable reboots on my early 2008 Macbook Pro with Mavericks

    Hello,
    My situation:
    1) First problem I encountered was kernel panic on startup. I fixed it fixed by replacing new AppleSMC.kext by older one from 10.8.* version I suppose  (i used KextWizard).
    2) Time after time MacBook restarts and then shows white screen with a message "your computer restarted because of a problem" (or something very similar). I'm able to start system after Cmd+Option+P+R and safe mode.
    3) If I don't use the way described in point 2, I receive kernel panics with reboot (screenshots made in verbose boot mode attached).
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    You can see contents of system console below. The first line is the last log message before unexpected reboot. After - some info about next successful boot.

    Having "performed all of the iSight Troubleshooting", you have already reinstalled OS X, Firefox, and Chrome, updated all of them to the latest versions, uninstalled all third-party mirroring software, and tested in more than one OS X login user account.
    If you now restart your Mac and launch only Photo Booth, does not the PB window now display the image your camera is viewing?
    If the answer is no, even for the simple Photo Booth app, we are left wondering how scratch.mit.edu (a Flash-based web site) can find a working camera when using the Chrome browser.
    If the answer is still no, my first suggestion would be to click the "Check Now" button in your  > System Preferences... > Flash > Advanced menu command.  If there is a later update, apply it, and test your camera again using Apple's iSight troubleshooting suggestions.
    If you were already using the current Flash version, or if updating it does not change any troubleshooting results, I would try reinstalling OS X one more time in case you had a bad download or install on your previous try.  Then test again with Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.

    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery

  • Sound Issues with early 2008 Macbook Pro

    I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro with Mavericks that has suddenly developed a static and clicking sound through the internal speakers.  The static and clicking sound does not occur when using headphones.  Is this a speaker failing or due to some other reason?

    If there is no success with a PRAM reset, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be FREE regardless of the age of the MBP.

  • 2008 Macbook Pro won't turn on

    Quick question before I go to the Apple store-
    Recently updated my 2008 Macbook Pro to Yosemite. Ran into a ton of issues involving WiFi and Java 6 but resolved them relatively easily and it was smooth sailing for a bit. Today, I booted it up as normal, got to my desktop and then it immediately goes into sleep mode. I hit the spacebar and it shut itself down. Now when I hit the power button I get nothing. No fans, no boot sound, nothing. The indicator on the charger is steady green and the side LEDs all light up just fine. Am I totally screwed???

    You might try replacing or checking the individual RAM modules you have installed on your computer. As pointed out previously, this might be a problem.
    I have a MBP 17" (Mt. Lion).  I had plugged in a usb cord to sync my iphone and the MBP just died.  Wouldn't power on, resettting SMC didn't work.  The magsafe would be green briefly and then just start flashing really fast, and also very dimly.  This was with a couple of different power adapters so it wasn't the adapter.  Finally took it to the Apple Store.  Genius bar guy took it in back and said that there was something wrong, he unplugged the battery and it still wouldn't start, so it wasn't the battery and I also think he said that he did a motherboard reset.  That also didn't work.  So I spent $300 to get the motherboard looked at.  It was returned several days later and the only thing the paperwork said was the RAM was bad and they replaced it.  I had replaced the original RAM with 2 X 8Gb of third party stuff.  This was working until I plugged in the usb, so it didn't seem like that should be the problem, but  Apple replaced with 2 X 4Gb of RAM (and gave me back my 2X 8Gb sticks) and the computer works, no motherboard replacement, just the RAM.  I didn't think that both of the 8Gb ram sticks could be bad, so I checked each of the 8Gb sticks in the computer, and what do you know?  Both 8Gb of memory work, and I've since replaced the Apple memory with the both of the third party 8gb sticks and the computer works again.  What the problem was I don't know and now it seems to be working just like it used to.  So you might check the RAM you have and you might determine you have a bad dimm or it just resets something so that things work again.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to Mavericks OS.  The screen died and it's not worth replacing.  How do I remove the hard drive and use a drive sled to access info I need?

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro last updated to the Mavericks OS.  The screen died and I took it into an Apple store and was told replacing the screen and the hardware to repair everything would cost almost as much as buying a new laptop or a cheaper model.  I was told that I can use a drive sled to access data I need on my hard drive. How do I remove my hard drive and use a drive sled to get to the information I need?  What makes matters more complicated is I need to update my iPhone and my iTunes/App store purchases.  How can I accomplish this?
    My wife has a late 2008 Macbook Pro as well, which I am assuming I need to run my hard drive.  Is there a way to just access just my hard drive without interfering with hers?
    I know this is lengthy.  Thanks to whoever looks at this and offers advice/instruction.

    the device you need is an External enclosure for a 2.5" (laptop form factor) SATA drive.
    A USB-interface enclosure will be slow, but is adequate for this task and for re-purposing as a backup drive later.  A firewire-interface drive would be faster, but is harder to find, more expensive, and faster than needed for this purpose.
    The drive will mount as an "extra" drive on your wife's Macbook, and you can drag and drop whatever you wish. You could create a separate Account for yourself on her computer, and use Migration Assistant or just copy your stuff over to the new account. Then it would not interfere with her files.

  • How to update graphics card drivers for late 2008 macbook pro with Nvidia 9600m GT?

    Can anybody help me update the drivers for my 9600m GT graphics card for my Late 2008 Macbook pro? I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 with a Windows 7 partition. I have tried finding support on Nvidia's website, but at least for the 9600m GT, it isn't supported for my operating system. Would I have to update it from my Windows side? And if so, would the update apply to my OS X side as well? I have a little computer knowledge, but nothing indepth.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In OS X, Apple provides the GPU drivers and you cannot update them from NVIDIA. They are updated with each OS X update, so you are running the most recent drivers for your OS X version. OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks have got more recent GPU drivers, but it's not worth upgrading unless you need newer drivers for an app (I highly doubt this).
    However, you can update the GPU drivers in Windows, and you should do it to get the best performance. You can download them from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Note that drivers are only applied in the operating system you are installing them, so they will not be installed in OS X

  • When I updated my macbook Pro to Maverick, I lost I Photo. How do I get it back to manage my pics?

    When I updated my Macbook Pro to Maverick, I lost I Photo. It seems as if my pics are still on the laptop, but I have a really hard time finding them. I no longer have I Photo. Can anyone help me in getting that application back and putting my pics back in it? I loved the faces feature. Thank you!

    Run the >software update>iPhoto
    If you have a legit copy of of iPhoto you are eligable for the Mavericks compatible version. Look for it in your applications folder along side the older versions.
    If not purchase it on the AppStore to regain access to your iphoto library as you knew it.

  • How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

    How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I  hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
    I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

    In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

    I just upgraded my 2008 macbook pro to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard but my computer is running a bit buggy and slow. How do I downgrade back down to snow leopard?

    You would reinstall 10.6 using your installation DVD.
    Out of curiosity, how much RAM do you have? Recent versions of OS X really shine with 4GB or more.

  • I just downloaded the recent Maverick Software Update onto my Macbook Pro 15" and when the download/reset finished, my screen was completely black and I have not been able to get it back since. Help?

    My computer had been wanting to do a software update, with what I believe was the Mavericks Software, for a few weeks but I had been putting it off. When I finally decided to install the update onto my Macbook Pro 15" today, my screen went completely black and I haven't been able to get it back since. The computer still turns on, I can tell because my caps lock key still glows when I press it and my volume buttons still make sounds when I press them. However, I cannot see anything on the screen. I don't even get the grey start up screen when I reset my computer. I have tried the SafeMode Restart where you hold Shift while it is restarting and the Display Reset in which you hold Command + Option (alt) + R + P until you hear the start up noise twice, and neither have worked. Any other advice on what I can do to get my screen back without having to send my computer away to be fixed? 

    Try a SMC reset:

    "Update your new MacBook Pro"?
    Well, if your MacBook Pro is new, it already has Mavericks installed and there is nothing to update.
    Go to the Menu Bar, and click the Apple logo.  Then click "About This Mac."  Does it show OS X 10.9 or 10.9.1?
    If so you are already running Mavericks.

  • My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

    My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

    Hello Adam,
    I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.
