Boot Camp Windows 7 on El Capitan MacBook Pro mid-2009
Hi all
I'm trying to partition and install Windows 7 on my mid 2009 Macbook Pro running El Capitan.
I have a Windows 7 ISO, have mounted two using a USB flash drive and on the desktop, however I constantly get this error:
How can I fix this error and how to install Windows 7 on my Mac? It would be desirable to do so without the use of Boot Camp (such as described here?) ( http://daksh.me/how-to-install-windows-on-your-mac-without-bootcamp/ )
Thank you, Josh.
Your specific Mac needs a physical DVD into your integrated optical drive to install Windows 7.

MacBook Pro mid-2009 vs MacBook late 2009 - macOS Sierra
Hi all
Can anyone please explain to me, why we can't install macOS Sierra on MacBook Pro mid-2009 models and can install it on the MacBook models end 2009? I checked the specifications of these two laptops and they are quite similar, where MBP is faster/more stronger and it's really not any sense that we cannot move to the Sierra.
-Processor is the same/more fast (both are 45mm Penryn - http://ark.intel.com/compare/40380, 42014)
-Same/more fast GPU
-Memory even more
What material might be different? A tiny chip (part of) the motherboard?
Am I missing something or Apple made a mistake?
Kind regards
Post edited by: AmonXelNaga
The previous model lacks some materials needed for execution of Sierra, which was included in the successor model.

MacBook pro mid-2009 can not insert disc in the drive
I can't insert a floppy in the drive of my Macbook Pro mid-2009! It's a s if there is a disc already inside - something is it prevents insertion of entirely.
I've tried several "cures" I found on the net - one of them worked for a short period but now the problem is back.
The guys at the genius bar in an Apple store have seen this problem so often, they got some field tools rush this opening and get in and out drives. If who disobeys, they can take in the back and open it to fold the skin of the player, fitness and clear of the issue.
You an appointment for an assessment is free, guaranteed, or rear. In general, if they can solve this problem in less than a quarter hour without spending coins, there is no charge.

Battery MacBook Pro Mid 2009 problem
I got a used Macbook Pro Mid 2009 model.
Works very well with OS 10.11 but the battery life is bad I think
only the runways for 90 min and then it is empty
I watched the news, and that's what he said
Manufactur: DP
DeviceName: bq20z451
Pack lot Code 0
The PCB batch number 0
Firmware version 3
Hardware revision 2
Review of cell 100
Fee info
Remaining 267
Fully charged no.
Charge no.
Full charge capacity 1602
Cycle Count 903
Normal condition
Battery installed Yes
AMPERAGE (ma)-1193
Voltage (mV) 10967
Is it just the end of the battery?
And what would be a replacement of the battery in good condition for this?
Thank you
Hello! The battery is old and has almost reached 1000 charge cycles, which means that it may soon become useless.
I have seen many users asking link to OWC here on the forum and I have seen a lot of positive feedback on this manufacturer, so if you plan to replace the battery, you should consider the OWC part in option.

Connect the macbook pro mid-2009, to a TV
I could connect my mid-2009 pro via a mini display port HDMI and audio to my receiver. Now that I have a sound bar, I see the desktop on my TV but no sound. I understand that my MacBook pro model does not sound with this connection. Does anyone have a solution?
Cable directly from the headphone output on a cheap amplifier, then to your Soundbar. It is unlikely to be able to the impedance of the speaker car directly.

AppleTV airplay of my Macbook Pro (mid 2009)
I don't get the symbol of the antenna of my MacBook Pro (17-inch, mid 2009).
In the airplay guide it says it is not taken care of, is there a work around?
I can share with my iPad and newer computers in my studio, but my macbook pro is my workhorse.
Thank you
Peter
It is true that the old MacBook supports AirPlay. Apple has not announced this function until 2011 (or was - this 2012?).
There are third-party-solutions, but the performance is almost at native speed with AirPlay.
You can still, however only audio AirPlay. ALT-click on the volume on your Mac icon, then select your Apple TV output.

You say using AirDrop?
You do not qualify, sorry.

To send items to an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you have a 2012 model or more recent Mac with OS X Yosemite or later version, except the Mac Pro (mid-2012).

SuperDrive drive broken don't Boot Camp Windows at El Capitan
I tried many schemes proposed in this forum and at least a dozen different ways to do El Capitan boot camp Windows. I have run csrutil disable recovery and used the utility gdisk to rewrite the workout plan to use GPT. It seems to go as far as the installation of all files of Windows 10 then I get the message Windows "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation.» To install Windows, restart the installation. "I tried bcdboot c:\windows and manually enter the drive and also the partition GUID I recorded option detail gdisk. But I get errors co so there is something that has always does not run.
I have not yet tried Rufus. I used unetbootin to make my Windows 10 microsoft 64-bit ISO flash player. I also have an OEM Windows 8 disc bought three years ago. I am a little concerned by the barking of multiple trees simultaneously.
It's a MacBookPro6, 1 EFI and SMC confirm current. 8 GB Crucial RAM. The SuperDrive doesn't work, or my burner USB Pioneer BD-204 (with confirmation last firmware, which actually turns into a BD-205) will allow you to install windows despite offering an optical EFI partition after the option - reboot. I was able to get Windows installed from a USB key that I did leave an ISO download unetbootin Using Microsoft as described. Maybe Rufus has solved this problem?
I am entirely prepared to scrub the entire disk (that I had actually done yesterday, by a genius) and start from scratch if I could just find a step - who would work in reality. I really need to boot camp Windows 8 or 10 of this machine again.
I'm even ready to install another internal drive instead the SuperDrive for boot camp Windows, but I want to assure you that I have does not work in the same exact questions if I take this step.
Also boot camp just offers me the possibility to specify an ISO standard, there isn't that two not three check boxes and whenever I try from the disk, I get the black 'system unboot press a button' block after it restarts.
I also edited info.plist of boot camp to add my model to the list of the 32 bit patterns.
There is absolutely no problem backup etc., yesterday, the genius was so smart that he told me to try a Microsoft store.
Please help this is going on 10 days, that I tried to fix this now. Should I go back to the Apple Store and ask them to put the Mavericks on this? That's how I got 8.1 Windows boot planted three years ago.
Have you looked at this - http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-windows-7-partition-on-mac-osx-wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... ?
Do not install a second Optibay drive, until Windows is completely installed, otherwise you will encounter more questions.

You cannot use a USB on Mac 2011 Installer. Please burn the ISO on a physical DVD Windows (a DVD - R Carbon SL on the rate of burning slower is better) and use it to install Windows. The file Info.plist changes only allowing the creation of USB, but does not fully support a USB Installation.
