Late 2008 MacBook update to El Capitan?

I plan to update my Late 2008 MacBook of Lion (10.7.5) to El Capitan, since my new iPhone 6s is not compatible with iTunes. Advice? I intend to go there and buy a new machine, the next time a new MacBook Pro is launched. Looking for a small difficulty but won't be sorry!

I'm in the same boat. You eventually upgrade? If so, how everything works?

Thank you!

    I would like a step by step process apple a new airport express with time capsule base of connection (cable cat 5 150 Ft) with late 2008 macbook.

    Connect one end of the long Ethernet cable (we assume that you have already tested the cable to make sure it works correctly) one of the three ports LAN <>- on the Time Capsule to the WAN port on the AirPort Express "O".

    We assume that the AirPort Express is new, is powered OFF... and has not been previously configured.

    Turning off the Time Capsule

    Wait a few seconds

    Put in the Time Capsule market and let it run a full minute

    Power of the AirPort Express and run a full minute. Currently, the indicator light of the Express slowly flashing orange

    On the MacBook, click the WiFi status menu icon and search for a list of the new AirPort access point

    Just below this list, click on AirPort Express

    Who will get the "Assistant" operational configuration. It will take a few seconds for the wizard to analyze the network and offer the correct setting in a display that will look like the example below, except that you can see your cameras and the name of your wireless network.

    In short simple name you want to call the AirPort Expressof type... .as OfficeExpress, for example

    Click Next

    Watch the next screen carefully to confirm that the AirPort Express is in place to extend using Ethernet, which confirms that the installation wizard recovers the wired between the Time Capsule and AirPort ExpressEthernet cable connection, so the settings correct configuration will apply.

    When you see the message Setup is complete, click done. Close the installation window, and you're done.

  • Passage to the SSD for late 2008 MacBook for editing video: Samsung 850EVO or Pro?

    Hello

    There are a lot of things out there on the upgrade the bowels of SSD and I narrowed my choice to Samsung 850 Evo or Pro, but there are some details that I found not covered elsewhere. The idea is to give to my MacBook Pro a few years in addition to be able to edit HD video (currently, it slows to a halt). I'm also upgrading to 8 GB of RAM.

    My questions are: both the EVO 850 and 850 Pro actually work in my model, old as it is?

    I would notice the difference between the two while editing video, taking into account the difference and compatibility issues/limitations of price? (Limits of SATA would effectively slow the levels of the EVO Pro?)

    If/when I get ahead, it is advisable to keep my entire modification on a with the main files external HARD drive, or should I keep makes it / cache on the SSD drive?

    Here are my specs:

    MacBook Pro (15 inch, late 2008)

    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor

    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory

    Macintosh HD boot disk

    NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB graphics card

    Running OS X El Capitan 10.11.5.

    Please keep in mind, I am a techno-idiot and 90% of the above words I learned again in the last two days!

    Thanks in anticipation,

    Graeme.

    Probably not.  You willing MBP of SATA2 connectivity and the full potential of each SSD not happen.

    If/when I get ahead, it is advisable to keep my entire modification on a with the main files external HARD drive, or should I keep makes it / cache on the SSD drive?

    It's your choice.  If the capacity of SSDS is quite large, personally, I like to keep all data on a single disc, but maybe it's not convenient.

  • I can transplant my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 "MacBook Pro hard drive into my late 2008 MacBook 5.1?

    The battery on my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 '' MacBook Pro just exploded, almost destroying the machine. As I need to replace the battery and the trackpad, I guess that's maybe a good time to upgrade to an SSD, leaving me with the old 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive Serial ATA to play with. This hd currently has Yosemite and all my essential programs installed on it. I also saved it on an external drive via Time Machine.

    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook late 2008 5.1 I want to migrate everything to, however the HD is only 320 GB, resulting in errors when trying to make an update of Time Machine.

    Can I pop the hard drive of the 2011 MBP in my MacBook late 2008 5.1? Is the material compatible? The OS sees it's a different system at startup and make the necessary adjustments (No firewire, there less RAM, etc.)?

    If not, how can I move my Applications without moving on the entire hard drive? Or could I format the hard drive to 500 GB and then run the Time Machine backup? It would even work?

    A lot of variables here. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I forgot to mention that the MacBook 5.1 is 2.4 GHz.

  • late 2008 MacBook longer or more cold in clamshell mode?

    I was going to use my MacBook recently updated as your desktop with USB keyboard and mouse. Clamshell mode for long periods, there will be 4 to 10 days. I've upgraded to a SSD just for the reason to reduce heat on the left palmrest. Can someone tell me experience to maintain in this present mode for long periods. Do I need to worry about my precious Mac to choke to death?

    I've been running my ' 08 MB end in mode clamshell for about 2 months now. For now, it's about 25 degrees in my room and the MB is 39 ° C.  Last week, it was about 5 ° C cooler in my room and the MB was at 37 ° C.  I don't know if it is warmer or colder than it would have been in normal mode.  I think the only difference would be the heat generated by the monitor being active and that wouldn't go in the body of the device.  I keep my plugged all the time so I guess that the chemistry of the battery does not produce a lot of heat.

  • CS5 compatibility on a late 2008 Macbook Pro?

    I'm about to buy a 15 "Macbook Pro second hand. I would check that there are no probs with CS5 here firstly of thought.

    Here are the specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp499

    • Graphic processor Intel HD NVIDIA GeForce 9600 M GT with DVI dual-link support;  512 MB of GDDR3 memory

    Is it going to be ok?

    Cheersd!

    Is it going to be ok?

    Yes. CS5 works even on my 2006 / 2007 MBP with OS x 10.5.8. OSX has supported 64-bit for some time and all the chips intel Apple use have also just as long. At worst, you may have to disable OpenGL, but by all rights a minor loss...

    Thank you and God bless you!

    Technically, it is possible, but is there a particular reason that you feel the need to upgrade? If your current configuration does not work well, upgrade to a new system probably won't fix this (or worse).

  • Leopard MacBook pro late 2008 - updated to update to snow leopard

    I have a macbook pro late 2008 with leopard on updated to snow leopard, which is the best upgrade, that I can do without problems?

    I upgraded to 8 GB memory and 500 GB MMX 200 ssd.  tTe upgrade was necessary because I installed el capitan and he absolutely killed my mac, so I got the diagnostics to find my drive was not hard.

    I'll reinstall leopard and use my snow leopard updated, but to what extent until I can go without problems over?

    In theory, it must be able to handle El Capitan. You can't really judge El Capitan performance enough if you ran it on a bad HARD drive.

    Your only real options stay with Snow Leopard, goes to the mountain, which is still fairly recent, Lion or El Capitan.  I think most people would say that Lion (10.7) alone is not worthwhile.  Mavericks and Yosemite are no longer available unless you already have a copy.  Mountain Lion is no longer receiver update but is not a fall to the same extent (yet) by the developers of software under Snow Leopard.  Some claim that it is the operating system more acceptable from 10.6.  You can always buy a download code for it.

  • How well El Capitan will run on an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"Late 2008"

    One of my Macs is an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"late 2008 ". I know that it supports El Capitan, but what I wonder is really run him El Capitan? What interests me is the user experience of real life?

    My MacBook Pro is currently under Snow leopard 10.6.8 and it has 8 GB of RAM installed.

    I thought maybe I could take an approach gently gently and install El Capitan on a different hard disk, or maybe partition the internal hard drive and install it on one of the partitions? Any thoughts on this approach?

    My internal hard drive is a model 1 TB of Seagate hybrid.

    Thank you!

    With 8 GB of ram, it will work fine. Install on an external drive or an internal partition is a wise option that you can get rid of it if it does not meet expectations. Be aware that some of your applications can work more like exceeding 10.6.8 Rosetta support has been dropped.

  • MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

    So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

    (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

    Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

    -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

    (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

    Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
