How can I get 2tb in a new macbook pro

I want to get a new macbook pro but I would need it to have 2TB of storage since I do music production and I have tons of software and sounds/samples I need in my laptop. Can I make a new macbook pro have 2TB or would I need like a 17in macbook pro which I would have to find a used one

all 4 platter 2TB  2.5" HD are  15.2mm THICK. theres utterly NO WAY a single HD will fit in any macbook like that.
only option is a 1TB in the internal bay, and removal of the superdrive DVD/CD player and installing a secondary 1TB HD in the "optibay"
See OWC for the optibay option.

2.5" hard drive thickness and capacity
7mm = 500gig
9.5mm = 500gig up to 1TB
12.5mm = 1.5TB
15.2mm = 2TB
(however there are new HD just out that are 5mm = 500gig and 7mm = 1TB  and 9.5mm = 1.5TB)
You have the POTENTIAL of 3TB in your macbook between 2 HD, however those drives are western digital, which I and most here wouldnt recommend. Also they just came out, and their reliability is UNKNOWN.

  • HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro?  I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

    Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

    Two options:
    Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
    Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.  http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

    How can I install internet explorer on my macbook pro? Thanks!

    Install Windows 7 into a virtual machine program (IE comes with it), I suggest VirtualBox as it's free and gets updates for near forever. However VMFusion and Parallels has more features but then to drop you if you don't upgrade OS X.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • How can I use pages on my new macbook pro after having used it on my old macbook pro?

    I have pages installed on my old macbook pro and I just bought the newest model pro.  I thought I was transfering all of my programs using migration assistant, but after trying to start Pages on my new computer, this window asking me to buy or try iWork '09 keeps coming up.  How can i get rid of this window and start using pages normally again?  Maybe I have to run migration assistant again... 

    Do you have any other Apple IDs? I would just try signing in with other ID's, and checking the "Purchased" tab in the Mac App Store to see if Pages appears.

  • How do i get imovie on my new macbook pro

    using a new macbook pro and can't find imovie.  is it pre-installed? how do i get it?

    In iMovie 9 there are a lot less effects than in iM6(HD) & that's one of the reasons that a lot a people have both 6 & 9 installed. My advice to most people who have such basic questions is to check out the "Help" section there at the far right hand corner of the basic menu. Your question & many more are there just for the asking. Don't know what you mean by "real" effects but maybe you'll have to invest in FinalCut Express or Pro, they have tons of what I'd call real effects.

  • How can I install Aperture on my new Macbook Pro. I am up to date with my Mac Pro, I have the Aperture 1 and installation disks but cant remember how I got to 3. Can anyone help?  Many thanks regards Alf

    I have an up to date version of Aperture on my Mac Pro, and I would like to install it on my new Mac book Pro. I have the original installation disks for Aperture 1 and 2. I cant remember how I got to Aperture 3, I think it was via a web download but not sure. I have checked my purchases in the App Store but there is no indication of me buying an upgrade to Aperture 3.
    Ive tried to download it from the App Store but it wants me to pay again.
    Can anyone help on how to install Aperture 3 on my new Macbook .
    Many thanks regards  Alf

    Then you can download the Trial version of Aperture 3 and unlock it with your serial numbers - you will need all three for all three versions: A current link to the Trial version is in this support document, also instructions on how to reinstall on different systems:
    Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating

    BTW: Your Aperture 3 serial number will be displayed in the "About" panel - the panel you see, when you use the command "About Aperture" from the Aperture menu in the main menu bar.

  • Idvd how do I get it to my new MacBook Pro

    Just bought my new MacBook pro and found out that IDVD is not included any longer - what to do???
    I can not find it in App store, and my MacBook was not delivered with any Installation CD's.
    Please help my someone - alternatively I would like you recommendations for another programme to make Videos burned to DVD's
    Thanks in advanced.

    Just bought my new MacBook pro
    Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes for iDVD.)
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

  • How can I get files off of a MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode?

    A bit of a backstory: Recently my mid-2008 MacBook Pro stopped working. When I try to boot it up, the screen just stays black and the idle light flashes perpetually. I've reset the NVRAM and SMC, even attached it to an external monitor, but nothing works. After a lot of research, I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the hall effect switch.
    But I digress; I don't actually need this computer repaired, as I have a second (newer) MacBook Pro I can use. However, there are some files on the old one that I'd like to retrieve. And yes, I've tried booting into target disk mode, which unfortunately doesn't work for reasons listed above.
    Essentially what I'm asking is, is there a way I could transfer the files off the old computer to the new one? I know, I should take it to the Apple store, but that's not really an option right now due to personal reasons. I'd just like to know if anyone could suggest another way.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Remove the drive and connect it to your other Mac with a SATA to USB adapter. Copy whatever files you want off the drive.

  • Can't get PSE8 on my new Macbook Pro

    I tried moving the PSE8 applicaiton over from one computer to my new Macbook Pro and it's not working. I then tried downloading it from the adobe site in my old orders file and it's only giving me a Read me file and Akamai NetSession Interface. I have no clue what that is???  Please help!

    Didn't you save your original install media, whether the dmg file you downloaded or the discs? If not, you will probably need to get a new copy of PSE 8. The download is only available for a maximum of three years and only if you started with a download to begin with. Have you tried the akamai download manager to be sure the download isn't still there?

  • How can I get Keynote '09 on my MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5?

    I have 2 Macs. A MacBook Pro (purchased in 2009) and a Desktop (which was purchased in 2006 and won't run Maverick). Both hard drives crashed. Desktop was backed up, MacBook was not. (really bad). New hard drives on both. Thanks to recovery software, I saved most files. Rebuilt the MacBook and installed iwork 08 (which I had on discs). I had originally updated to iwork '09 (off the app store) on the old hard drive for the desktop and off discs(that disappeared) for the MacBook. Was able to pull iwork 09 from the Desktop for everything except Keynote. (It was still in '08 since I never used it on that machine). Keynote files that were originally created on the MacBook Pro using '09, of course now won't open because I have '08. Ordered iwork '09 discs. Installed on both desktop and laptop to get Keynote 09 and neither of them worked. Just gets an error message. Thinking this is a combination iwork '09 issue with the latest OS software 10.7.5. Can't find any updates out there. Help!

    I had originally updated to iwork '09 (off the app store)
    I suggest you the following, it has been able to sort out many issues with Keynote so its worth a go:
    1 - Remove iWork, (use Appcleaner from Freemacsoft to completely uninstall all iwork files, it is freeware)
    2 - Shut down the Mac and Start up again in safe mode (press shift key immediately after the start chime untill            the Mac symbol appears)    it will take longer to start up as the OS is being repaired
    3 - When the Mac is fully booted, go to:   Applications > Utilities > Disk utility
           click the System hard drive in the list then first aid tab > Repair Disc
    4 - Reboot normally
    5 - re-install iWork from the Mac App Store,  you dont need to buy discs as iWork has been purchased by you.
    6 - install updates for Keynote from: Apple Menu > Software update

  • How can I get my data off my MacBook Pro hard drive?

    So initially, water was spilled on my MacBook Pro keyboard. I promptly shut it down, turned it upside down, mopped up the water and let it dry out for a day near a heater. The next day it worked fine and continued to do so for about 2 more days until it decided it would no longer start up. Right now it can't make it to the login screen at start up, it just shuts down, the same thing happens in safe mode as well. So, since I haven't backed up my data recently, I was wondering if there was a way I could rescue my data from the hard drive. I did take it in to the Genius Bar, but they couldn't help me since it wouldn't start up in safe mode. Is there a way around this like hooking up an alternate monitor or am I just screwed?
