I have a 5 year old Macbook.
It's been running slow, I get the circle of death often, takes
a long time to load etc.
Took it to the Genius Bar at the Apple store and it seems to be
worse now.
Is it time for a new Macbook or do you think it can be revived and resusitated?
I'm curious about this too............. since it can be used with a PC I don't know why it couldn't be used with Lion or Snow Leopard!

Subject: [MacBook] upgrading to 10.7
Correct me if I am wrong, but as I understand it in order for me to make use of iCloud on my iPad and sync to my laptop I will have to upgrade to Mountain Lion ( 10.7).
My question is this: what will I lose when I do this? Will it affect Microsoft Office files that I use?
Thanks!

I'm just getting acquainted with my MBP late 2009, Sno Lep, and have tried for a full week now to get an external display to power up via the miniport/adapter to VGA display(s). I believe I've tried every 'fix' anyone on the myriad forums suggested and still do not get a live screen. I wasn't yet able to get through a call to the nearest Apple store (50 miles away). I've pretty much shed the Windows OS mentality, but am stymied by the external display issue.
Both external displays work with other (Dell) computers. Everything seems okay with the Mac, I've tried every conceivable resolution setting, mirror/no mirror, etc. I suppose the new adapter could be defective but have no way to check that (as far as I know). Yes, I used an external keyboard and mouse also when trying to connect the display. Portability will be great when I need it in the field, but for now I prefer the comfort-style external keyboard since I've spent a few decades on ergo boards and the Mac keyboard is like tap-dancing on a pinhead.
Is there a way to check the integrity of the adapter? I'm no tech but up till now have always been able to diagnose and solve my own computer issues (including the dying motherboards on both Dells).
