what games work well on macbook late 2009 (9400m 8gb ram)?

Sounds like a good plan. Get the store credit and then, as suggested above, order new RAM from
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com or Crucial http://www.crucial.com
You can purchase up to 4 GB from Crucial and up to 6 GB from OWC.

Macbook Later 2009 -Crucial 8GB RAM upgrade

Hello guys I took some recommendations from the support here at apple and i went out and purchased 8 gb of crucial ram 1066 for my late 2009 macbook....However once and a while i get a stutter usually when clicking close(x) on programs or starting them up for the first time. I am running Mountain Lion, is it normal to have little stutters? Will upgrading the harddrive to an SSD fix the problem. Any help would be great thanks

I don't follow....did you boot into the recovery partition by restarting while holding Command-R to use Disk Utility?
You might also try a Safe Boot, maybe you've got a corrupt system file that a Safe Bot can repair http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

Will this hard drive work with my Macbook Late 2009?

Hello, I was wondering if this hard drive would work with my Macbook6,1: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Toshiba/MQ01ABD100/

Yes, it should work just fine.

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (5.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. HELP!!??

My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (3.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. I don't know how to copy the pie chart so it shows on here but here's what it says right now:
Free - 176 MB
Wired - 592MB
Active - 843MB
Inactive - 432MB
Used - 1.82 GB
VM size - 198GB
The page ins and page outs have 0 bytes/sec in the parenthesis even though the numbers are so high.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper!

How to increase the size of bootcamp partition in macbook-late 2009

How to increase the size of the bootcamp partition in macbook late 2009, without using any third party softwares.

Pick yourself up by your own bootstrap too?
Reinstall after restoring to HFS only then.
You want something that works, then spend the $20 on Paragon CampTune or WinClone 3.

How do I update Nvidia 9400M GeForce drivers on MacBook late 2009?

How do I update Nvidia 9400M GeForce drivers on MacBook late 2009?
I've got a huge fps drop problem on my mac, and i've called apple support, they told me to update Nvidia Graphics Card or something. How do i do this?

Nope, I'll do that, but since I've seen you here before, can I ask you something regarding my HD?
I've been transferring about 1.6 GB from my USB stick, and when it is going on with the transfer, my computer just freezes, i can move the mouse but not click anywhere. then after some time i can click again, but then it freezes again. And it takes like 10 times longer to transfer.
And also, would it work to transfer a windows xp.iso to my usb stick, and then install windows using boot camp?
And also, would it work if I purchase 4GB or 2GB + 4GB (6GB) RAM to my Macbook unibody late 2009?
And also, would it work if i purchased RAM memory originally from a macbook Pro?

Why doesn't anything happen when I hit the download button for Mavericks OS X? I have a MacBook Late 2009 with Lion 10.7.5.

Down load fron the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show you all of your files and the respective sizes.
In addition, click on your HDD icon in the upper right hand corner of your desk top with COMMAND I (I as in the letter i). What does it say about the space used and available.

We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

You 2005 mini shipped with a PowerPC G4 CPU ranging between 1.25 and 1.5 (late sept 2005) Ghz. PowerPC is not Intel. This mini will not run current releases of Skype for the following reasons:
The current version of Skype claims support for OS X 10.5.8 -- but wants a 1Ghz Intel processor just for voice calls. Their recommendation for video calls is a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel CPU and a broadband connection of at least, 4Mbps down and 512Kbps up. Skype requirements.

MacBook late 2009 vs MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (Ram)

Hi, I recently upgraded the Ram in my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) to 16gb 1600 MHz DDR3 and my wife's MacBook (late 2009) has 2gb 1067 MHz DDR3 currently in it, but I tried using my old Ram (2gb slots) from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, and her MacBook wouldn't boot up at all, I just got a black screen.
So I see the difference is the 1600 MHz vs the 1067 MHz, so does that mean that my old Ram won't work because of this?
Thanks in advance,
DJ Meezy

yes, that is why.

New MacBook Late 2009 frequent non responding applications

Hello everyone. I just got a new MacBook late 2009 a few weeks ago. I love being back on Mac OS X but the one issue that I'm having is this:
About once a day my MacBook will hit a spot where it doesn't want to open any applications at all. I use Safari, iTunes and yahoo messenger every day. I never shut down my MacBook. I just close the lid and let it sleep overnight. When these spells hit all I get is the bouncing beach ball and I have to force quit the application(s) and restart to get everything fast and snappy again. I got the RAM upgraded directly from Apple when I bought to 4GB. I have 219GB free on the hard drive so I don't know what could be causing the problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Just an update:
I got to thinking about anything that I have installed that could be causing the problem. So far it turns out that the Intego AntiVirus solution I had installed was causing the problems. I know Macs don't get viruses but I've always believe in having some sort of antivirus protection if anything to catch files that I might be passing on to my Windows using friends. So I went back to Norton Internet Security as I had bought that back in November. So far no application crashing and everything is running like it should.

Two finger scrolling does not work on my MacBook (late 2008)

Two finger scrolling does not work on my MacBook (late 2008) with either the notebook trackpad or a b/t conected magic trackpad. Yes, I've set system preferences. Suspect a driver or s/w problem. Ideas?

Saw another post that hinted that you need to go to accessibility settings:
System Preferences > UniversalAccess > Mouse & Trackpad > Trackpad Options
Enable scrolling (and I enabled dragging while I was at it and it worked. Looks like wierd things can get set even if you don't mean it to.
