• Use the iPad pro as a second screen on a Macbook Pro 2009 with OSX running on it.

  Hello
  I am to buy an iPad Pro and I would like to know if there is a chance that it might be connected as a second monitor on a Macbook Pro 2009 running Mac OS x Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  You cannot connect them with wires. You can, however, all these 2 combinations of applications, use using your wifi home network:

  However, they all need two OS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, which means that the configuration is not possible under Snow leopard.

  Your Macbook Pro supports the latest OS X (El capitan), you can update, although it will significantly slow down your computer as well unless you add an SSD.

  See you soon,.

• MacBook Pro 2009 with slow SSD on El Capitan

  Hi all

  I recently put on the upgrade to El Capitan of Mountain Lion, that my Macbook Pro 2009, updated with a crucial v4 SSD and 8 GB ram, was very happy.

  Had a very difficult installation that hung a few times, but finally got it set up after resetting the PRAM.

  Since he has been very, very slow - beachball right turns and towers - opening an application are a 5 minute job. Printing takes 10. The SATAII connection shows as being to 3 GB, so it should be good. Any other El Capitan on a 2009 MBP running seem happy with it. I activated the trim, it made no difference.

  I was not able to find someone else in line with the same config or problem, so grateful if someone has experience - I was wondering if it is worth getting an SSD different, or even the original HDD back in?

  Thank you!

• MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

  Hello.

  I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

  Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

  I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

  A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

  So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

  I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

  First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

  At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

  Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

  I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

  I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

  So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

  After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

  I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

  Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

  Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

  I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

  Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

  Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

  Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

  I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

  -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

  -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

  -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

  Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

  Now, I have four questions to ask you:

  1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

  2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

  3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

  4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

  I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

  Alberto

  This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

  1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

  2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

• U2715H, MacBook Pro 2009 connection problem,

  Hello

  You just bought a U2715H, which is beautiful when you work with my MacBook Pro 2009. When I first set up, using the mini-DV to DV cable the minitor showed no link. Once again the connection several times the monitor came to life and everything was fine. Then I have experienced intermittent flicker - it would be turned off, turns on for a while, then turns off. After a few minutes he would return. I see that some people have had this problem, but I don't know what is the cause or the cure. I tried to run the diagnostics of the manual, and these were unremarkable. Now, having completed these tests I have re-attached the cable and I get zip. Recommendations on the cause/remedy? thx a lot

  Alan

  Unfortunately, Dell does not validate the test / most of our models of monitors ports on Apple hardware and software. Then, it will be a better idea.

  

  You wrote mDV to DV. I think you meant the mDP to DP cable U2715H? Based on the U2715H image below, you connect that way?

  MacBook Pro CDM on--> U2715H mDP to DP--> DP U2715H # 5 cable

  

  The U2715H is expected to ship with DP disabled 1.2. You can try to open the U2715H Menu OSD (On Screen Display page 26) - view and see what's on DP 1.2. I doubt that this older Apple can support 1.2 DP, but you can try enabling it and see what happens.

  You should also post on the Apple Discussions Forum and see if they can offer some insight or the troubleshooting steps.

• compatible memory Macbook Pro 2009

  Hi everyone I have a laptop macbook pro mid-2009 intel core 2 duo 2.53 GHZ. I'm hoping to buy a ' 8 GB Corsair PC3 - 10666 DDR3 - 1333 SODIMM RAM (2 x 4 GB) Memory Module Kit "someone knows it will work OK? ".

  
  

  I would say no, since this page Corsair indicates that memory is for Mac 2011

  gx3m2a1333c9 http://www.Corsair.com/en-US/Corsair-Mac-Memory-8gb-DDR3-SODIMM-Memory-Kit-cmsa8

  While your Mac uses 1067 MHz memory, the memory is 1333 MHz. often a memory more high speed does not work.

• MacBook Pro won't start - runs in a loop

  Hi guys,.

  After a few days trying to figure this painful problem, I am at the end of my home and hope someone can help.

  I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, which has recently started having problems to start. During a game session (SIMMS), he all of a sudden to stop and refused to restart, and since then I have been unable to use it at all. The MBP has a new installation of El Capitan on it, but it has been working well for the past two weeks since the installation.

  I tried the safe mode, mode of recovery etc, but it would not boot in any of these either. Finally, I put it target mode and reloaded El Capitan of another 'companion' MacBook Pro. This process went smoothly.

  After loading it, I started from the MacBook to make sure that the operating system works OK, and it was 'companion '!

  I restarted the "Companion" MBP and ejected the defective MBP and tried to restart it normally. No go, would not even boot even with the new OS.

  I tried a number of things so he can begin as a result of this new facility, but all that happens is that he'll do the Apple Logo, try to start, stop, and then go around in circles.

  Finally you will stop on the gray screen and the fans will start and keep running.

  I'm at the end of my knowledge, so any advice would be welcome!

  Thank you

  Have you tried SMC and NVRAM resets?

• Impossible to install OSX on a Macbook pro 2009

  I bought a 960 GB of Sandisk SSD to replace the hard drive in my MBP of 2009.   I backed up the existing time machine hard drive before replacing the drive.   Then I replaced the drive.   When you take control R on startup, I get the folder with exclamation mark warning.   So, I inserted the installation disk and then boot the disk containing the option at startup.   Now, the disk rotates forever (I let go 18 hours).

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Try to run up all by holding down the Option key. Theoretically, that should launch the window of Boot Manager where you can select the startup disk, and then click on restart.

• I have a macbook pro 2009 environment.  Upgrading ram 8 GB and it becomes extremely hot.  Never done with 4 GB. Only using a Firefox window.

  < image edited by host to remove personal information >

  Do you have what brand of RAM installed? Some brands will interrupt in modern Macs.

  It is possible that you hit a cooling fan connector while improving the RAM. Find the system of installation/restore disks accompanying you MBP and use them to run Apple Hardware Test. Instructions here:

  OS X Yosemite: use the Diagnostics of Apple or Apple Hardware Test

  That will be displayed if a fan has trouble.

• SanDisk ultra II 480 GB ssd update for macbook pro 2009 (5.4)

  Hi, this is not a question but just some information that I wanted to let down as I was cultural for this search but could not find any info anywhere here or elsewhere online...

  My 6 year old, 250GB internal hard drive died and I decided to replace it with an ssd, after looking at all the options and additional information about compatibility issues, problems of crash/stand etc. I decided (without a clue and fingers crossed) with the sandisk ultra II ssd 480 GB

  So far so good, the mac works amazingly fast, no el capitan osx installation problems and no problems with SATA speed negotiation, turns the 3gps. It is like having a brand new computer!

  Conclusion: upgrade 100% recommended

  

  I recently took a similar decision for my Mac Pro Tower silver server, install two 960GB SSD of this manufacturer (Sandisk).

  The SATA 3 G bps Bus SATA Mac's limits you to a maximum of about 375 M bytes/second. Although this is a little slower than maximum speed than the SSD applications (on the order of about 500 cases of best M bytes/s), it is still fast enough.

  Improving the speed on a rotating disk is so great, it is certainly useful.

  Make sure that you activate the TRIM on your SSD. If ongoing 10.10.4 or later, you can use the Terminal command:

  sudo trimforce enable

  (your password is not included, you will be notified that it is serious, and a reboot will be once the TRIM is activated).
