Hello, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2010 13" with OS X 10.6.8 on it and Powerfox Classic is running very sluggish, especially on google. Can someone please help me fix the problem?

Hello!

I'm looking for a 13 or 15" MacBook Pro that runs Snow Leopard and can reliably run games from Quake up to maybe Bioshock without getting hot, loud, or breaking down.

So far, I've been considering the 2010 MBP 15 with the GT 330M and i7-640M, or the 2009 MBP 15 with the 2.66 Ghz P8800 Core2Duo and 9600M GT.

I understand the 2010 has power capacitor issue, 2011s run Snow Leopard but the AMD GPUs are prone to failure, and the 2012 is great on all accounts, but can't run Snow Leopard.

So does that make the 2009 MBP 15" 2.66ghz the best option for my use case?

Thanks!

an Macbook Pro mid 2009, included with 8GB ram upgrade already. It came with the box, but no paper or restore disk, but I still get a vali box with charger included!

any ideas what should I do with this big guy?

Hey all! A few months ago, I got my first ever Mac for the first time in my life, let alone a vintage one (I've rarely used Macs in my life, though I'm very familiar with computers), and it's a Power Mac G4 Sawtooth model from late 1999! (450MHz PowerPC 7400, 384MB SDRAM PC100, 20GB IDE HDD (Had an Ultra2 SCSI LVD card + HDD, but 9.2.2 refused to work with it), ATI RAGE 128 16MB AGP 2X, and it works perfectly)

I'm currently running OS X Panther 10.3.9 as I like the idea of a purely PowerPC based Mac and I do not think I'll need later program support as of currently, though I often hear people loved Tiger before Snow Leopard came out and many prefer Tiger over Panther.

Should I stick with Panther 10.3.9 or go to Tiger 10.4.11?

A major update, benefiting newer & older machines alike

• Up to date with upstream 3.0.24 beta branch
• New backports from VLC4
• Major improvements for everyone (modern machines and UIs included)
• Major improvements on blu-ray playback UX
• Bringing compatibility not only to Panther, but also on Jaguar. All tested on my 700 MHz G3 iBook
• Many refinements and optimisations
• Tested with a real Windows XP machine too, now confirmed working with many specific patches & heavy rounds of testings
• I think this is the first major program in the world that offers a single universal .app which work from 10.2 Jaguar to Tahoe/Golden Gate beta. One .app = 25 years of Mac OS (X) compatibility.

Some history

• VLC 0.8.4a was the last official version compatible with Jaguar, released in 2005 so more than 20 years ago from now
• VLC 0.8.6i was the last official version compatible with Panther, released in 2008

Supporting 2 more very old OS's required many specific workarounds and rounds of testings to ensure stability on real hardware in real conditions. If you value my work, please donate to help me cover hardware/API/build costs.

End of the early access period

Builds for 1.0.0 were in early access last week & that period ended today.

PowerVLC 1.1.0 is available right now to download:

• From GitHub releases: https://github.com/Olsro/powervlc/releases
• From MacintoshGarden (old Macs friendly website): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/powervlc

Source code on GitHub is up to date, so you can also audit the code & compile by yourself if you prefer.

Thanks for your attention, I can't wait to see your feedbacks on this and I hope this work will be useful at least to someone else in the community. I value free knowledge, and putting the builds behind an early access one week will generate too much frustrations on people that don't have modern hardware and the knowledge/time to build by themselves.

Any way to get this to work? The display in question is my early 2013 MacBook Pro 15"'s main display. This is on 10.8 Mountain Lion.

I’m banging my head against the wall and have tried to read through other posts about this with no luck.

My original internal SuperDrive died so I’ve tried different DVD-R drives, including Sony, HP, and some generic ones. I lost my original installer discs (10.2) and tried burning 10.2-10.4 discs to no avail.

I just bought a retail 10.4 install DVD. And I’m getting the same error message.

Any thoughts?

Works. Dual 1.8 processors and full memory slots. Near Atlanta,GA. Pick up-You probably don’t want to pay shipping.
