• The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?

  I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?

  Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.

  Thank you!

  My answer is no.

  However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.

  However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

  You have the original installation media supplied with your machine? This would be a way: use the DVD to boot from, format the new hard drive and then reinstall the operating system. You can then update/upgrade to 10.11.

  Other than that, your model was not eligible to have its firmware updated to allow for the recovery of the internet which is the only other way I know - at least the only other way besides a bootable clone, you did before your defective hard disks.

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

  Do not think to partition/format your new drive first.

  Apple has set the rates, price around $300 repair program.  I don't think you can get a price of paste elsewhere.  However, there are third-party sites that provide repairs, parts and helpful videos.  Google is your friend.

• Can I put a 2009 MacBook Pro? TO

  Can I pass a 2009 MacBook Pro safely to El captain?

  You can upgrade to El Capitan, but make sure first that you have a backup so that you can restore your system, if you find El Capitan too troublesome.

  Most of the problems with the El Capitan upgrades have to do with incompatible software. Get rid of any Mac cleaners, boosters, antivirus software and so on. Check all your applications and delete that you rarely use.

  You can find el Capitan is slow compared to your current configuration. You could improve performance El Cap by upgrade your hard drive to a disc solid state drive (SSD). You can now find a very reasonable price.

• I have usef to operate only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

  I used to work only on PC, but now I have this 2009 macbook Pro.  He had a record of 7200 RPM... but he died... I want to put a hybrid SSHD on it... will it run slower?

  Several years ago I tested both a hybrid version Seagate 1 and later version 2 with my 13 "2009 MBP and the computer started more quickly with one of these drives with 7200 RPM drive. But that and save files were the only time where I saw an improvement of high speed. So no, not slower, but not really all that much faster. I ended up installing an SSD in the computer. Now that was an improvement.

• what external hard drive should I buy to save a 2009 MacBook Pro with USB 2.0 port?

  I want to back up the hard drive on my circa 2009 MacBook Pro (13 '') with Snow Leopard.  There are so many things out there and I want to get the right one!  My MacBook has only a USB 2.0 port.  I need to do this because I take the machine to have the battery replaced and because I am buying a new machine soon and would like to transfer things I backed up on my new machine.  Any recommendations for what is the most appropriate portable drive would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  I use this external enclosure: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/

  Can take any 2.5 in drive (HD or SSD).  I swap currently 3 bare drives (WD 750 GB Black) for familyvideos/data, clones, test data discs.  $72 seems expensive, but it has Firewire 400/800 and USB 2.0 and 3.0 interface for use with many computers.

• How can I change safe my mid August 2009 MacBook Pro of El Capitan safe...?

  Unfortunately my iPhone 5 has stopped working yesterday, so I had a 6s, but I'm still in 10.7.5 naturally now I need to update my laptop, but the last time I tried to update my laptop a few years apparently from what had been told to me by the MacMall apple technician in Santa Monica , it's that I didn't delete the old partition out of my HD, then the laptop was stuck in a lock box. Which resulted in me having to wipe the HD. Is there a way to access El Capitan safely without any headaches and being able to have my files in order with the new OS...? My MacBook Pro is a Mid-August 2009 with processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM. Thanks in advance, any comment on this situation is welcomed.

  Here are a few steps you need to take before moving on to the latest version of Mac OS X.

  First, run the software update or the App Store and install all the updates available for the operating system you have now. The system must be in good working condition. Do not expect an upgrade of the operating system to repair a computer that is abnormally slow or unstable. More likely, the upgrade will make the problem worse.

  If you have less than 4 GB of memory, as shown in the box about this Mac, and your model has an expandable memory, install at least that a large part, or preferably the maximum amount of the machine can use according to the specificationsof Apple. If the memory is not expandable, or you don't want to upgrade, turn off using a newer Mac OS x version until you decide to buy a new computer.

  If you have already upgraded the memory, check the specs to make sure that the memory is compatible, both the type and capacity. Do not install more memory that is officially supported by the model. Sellers of spare memory may contradict Apple specifications because they want to sell memory. Their guarantees that you can exceed the specs are not not trustworthy. Although the memory of out-of-spec worked, it may not work after the OS upgrade, or you may not upgrade at all.

  Make sure all of your most important third-party software are up-to-date and compatible with the current OS x Very old versions of Microsoft and Adobe products, for example, may not be compatible. The Web site is the best source for this information. Incompatible third-party software causes almost all problems with OS X updates.

  Finally, in back up all the dataand be sure you know how to restore if you don't like the results of the upgrade.

  If you have a with a sufficient capacity storage device, you can copy the boot volume in disk utility, then run him and to upgrade. So, if you don't like the results, all you have to do is change the setting in the startup disk preferences pane and restart.

• Cable/adapter for use of 2007 iMac as a display for 2009 MacBook Pro

  I would use my older iMac as a monitor for my MacBook Pro. Want to know which cable and/or adapter I need help.

  The iMac is a 24 inch, Intel based since 2007 (6.1). 2 GB, 667 MHZ.  It uses iOS 10.5.8. Its port is a Mini-DVI video output.

  The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch (5.4) 2009. 4 GB, 1067 MHZ. It uses iOS 10.11.6. Its port is a Mini display port.

  Popular Wizard. Thank you.

  You must use a wireless or Ethernet connection and configure Virtual Network Computing. A 2007 iMac only supports video-, and cannot function without the standard display cable.

  1. Uninstall McAfee.  There is no virus circulating currently which can do damage to OS X, so this time programs, the antivirus are not necessary.  The majority of them, what I and other contributors here have seen, adversely affects the performance of any system they are installed on.  In addition, they protect you from what Mac users really need to worry, which is malware and adware.  Malware and adware programs are installed by you, unlike viruses, who settle.  The most common way in this case is when you download something via torrent or a comprehensive download site, as many times these installers are provided with the malware and adware.  When you install one, install you this.
  2. Uninstall CleanMyMac 3.  Mac don't need any program that claims it will be driven, clean, optimize, refresh, or organize your computer.  Programs like CMM are called scamware for a reason.
  3. Uninstall Trusteer.  See #1 why.  If an antivirus program on a Mac is bad, more than one is even worse.
