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.

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.

Since the update to El capitan OSX 10.11.4 on my Macbook Pro (2012) I can not connect to the app store - ideas? Im not geek so please be gentle!
Try restarting mode without failure. To restart in safe mode, restart the computer and press on and hold down the SHIFT key until the Apple icon appears. The computer starts more slowly than usual because the disk utility checks the drive. After getting on the desktop launch the App store and try to connect. Successful or not, once you're done, restart normally to exit safe mode.

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.

I had to have my hard drive replaced and the company that made him put two versions of 32-bit and 64-bit Vista Home Premium on it. Soon, I discovered that I was getting conflict on my computer and he discovered that the two were on the hard drive. I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 7, but I'm at the stage where it tells me to seek answers on the removal of Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive. I know the other option is to do a clean business, but I would avoid this possibility if possible.

Hello
The best way is to clean install and start over.
In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.
If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.
See you soon.

USB hub works on MacBook Pro mid 2012 but not on MacBook Pro early 2013
I recently bought a Top long Premium Hub 4 ports USB 3.0 aluminum. I noticed that when I use it in my MacBook Pro i7 2.4 GHz with 16 GB of memory at the beginning of 2013 this external zip drives are not recognized. (It works for my iphone charging). Then I tried in my wife MacBook Pro mid 2012 with 2.3 GHz i7 and 8 GB of memory and the external zip drives worked perfectly. Both machines have 10.11.2 el Capitan installed.
Why it would work on an older machine? What Miss me?
Is the hub AC powered or powered hub (requires the MBP to power all the devices on the hub)? Self-powered hubs use ca for the lion share of the power of the device and MBP is essentially just the conduit.

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.

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.

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.

Storage space on MacBook Pro (mid-2012) is not reduced
I recently deleted files from a mid 2012 MacBook Pro but the space where I deleted the files not reduced in spite of emptying the trash.
Any help?
What is the source that you want to determine how much space you use on your HARD drive? If it is the view of the ABOUT THIS MAC, it is not to be trusted. There is a bug in the program.
Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. This should allow you to determine which files to remove or disable charge it to an external HARD drive.
Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

Identified faces on MacBook Pro... can not see them on Mini.
Hello!
I was killing time and spending a few hours identification of faces pictured on my old MacBook Pro last night. I agree with everything on the MacBook Pro with my new Mini via iCloud. Faces I've identified are not displayed on the Mini. Did lose a few hours? Or am I missing some setting to 'share' the faces identified with the Mini.
Thanks in advance,
A
Faces are one of the elements that does not completely sync between Macs. Your work is not completely lost. Keywords searchable faces can be synced to your Mac Mini, but not thumbnails of faces. But you can search on your mini for the names you assigned and then quickly label thumbnails.
