Macbook alu 5.1 ssd

Why only 1,5 Gigabit with intel new 520 ssd on Macbook alu 5.1

Evening....
Just dropped my new Intel 320 Sata2 drive into my machine.
Its found and negotiated at 3Gig so SATA2 and SATA3 controllers do seem to the key.
Not getting the advertised speeds of the drive, but then I have a lower spec CPU and 4Gig instead of 8Gig of RAM (dunno if that makes a difference, feels like it probably ought to)
My speeds are 123mb/s Write and 225mb/s read
Have an optibay on the way to replace the optical drive, so I'll stick my older 80gig drive in there for more storage (this all really only happened because I was out of storage on the machine)
Hows the Corsair holding up?

Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

Can I use a SATA cable from a 2007 MacBook Pro for an SSD in a 2011 MacBook Pro?

Trying to replace the optical drive on my MacBook Pro with an SSD. The only SATA cable I have is from a 2007 model. Will that work? Also, I can't find a good sled for the drive... Will literally taping it in place suffice until I find such a sled?

An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

Hi Mark,
You need to Update to OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard so you can Update iTunes to Sync your iPhone.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

New MacBook Alu or new MacBook Pro

Hello
I am considering buying a new MacBook. I hesitate between a MacBook Aluminium, or the new MacBook Pro. What are the differences, and in what the Pro is better? When looking at the specs, it looks like the MB Alu is faster (2.4GHz vs 2.26GHz), and has a bigger HD (250GB vs 160GB). So looks to me that the MacBook Alu is a better option.
Is there something important I'm missing?
Thanks
Laurent

Well, then. The Pros have two big advantages: FireWire and the longer-lived battery. The processor speeds don't mean that much in the real world, either, so except for the size of the HDD, I'd lean Pro.
The biggest difference I'd say is the longer battery. I believe the MBP have 7 hour battery lives. The Alu is lucky to get five. I also believe Apple promotes that it lasts longer in terms of long-term health.
The processor difference is a non-issue. You'll never, ever, ever be able to tell the difference between those two speeds doing average tasks. The HD size could be an issue if you have a lot of movies/music/pictures that take up a lot of room.

When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

Also if I took it into an apple store to get installed how much would it cost? Any ideas?
Hi Chris,
I am not aware of any compatibility issues between that SSD and your machine. I've purchased a couple of their SSD drives and the install was quick and easy. Although I haven't installed one of their drives into the MBP 5,1 (Late 2008), I have installed SSDs and normal SATA drives into the same body style and there's been significant reworking between the models that I've come across. Just make sure you have the appropriate tool for the drive screws and you'll be all set.
Regarding the install, the Apple Store will not install 3rd party components into your machine. Nor do they sell HDs that they will install. Apple will only install the RAM you buy there or replace parts as a result of a service.

MacBook Alu (Nov 08): Internet is gone...

I bought a MacBook Alu 2.4 GHz in Nov. 08, and up till now it has worked like a charm both with Wifi and Ethernet. Yesterday in the middle of surfing it suddenly dropped the connection, saying that it cannot fint the page. Airport connection is still working - I did a reset of the Airport Express just to be shure. Then I tried with the ethernet cable: Still no connection, only self-assigned IP whenever I try to renew DHCP lease (I'm using a cable modem, no router). But the 2,5 year old iMac G5 works fine with the same cable (I use it now to post this).
This is terrible as I'm going abroad on Tuesday and need to be online with the MacBook daily. Anybody had the same problems, or know of any solution?

Dear Oy,
Thank you for saving the internet. We would have all felt badly if it had been truly gone...
You might download a free software package called "iStumbler" that reports on WiFi signal strength. If your airport is working then iStumbler will report signals. Then, if you still don't have a connection, you should check in Sytem Preferences>network to see if you have a connection. You can do some repair work from there, depending on the problem. If you did not buy AppleCare in November 2008, I strongly urge you to do so now. Then you can make a free call to Apple and they will troubleshoot for you.

Is getting a MacBook Pro with an SSD the same as getting a MacBook Air with Flash?

Im gonna be getting my first macbook soon, and i'm trying to decide which to get. First off, I'm waiting for the new MBA's to come out to see what they come with, and the new processors. But I was wondering if i were to get the base 13" MBP with the SSD, would that be practically the same machine as the Base 13" MBA (the new ones with SB processors when they come out) with 4gb ram (if they don't come with it already) ?? I really like the idea of having that type of storage. And what will be the difference in the processors? Also, does anybody have any thoughts on if the new MBA's will have a standard 4gb ram instead of 2??

If they also have the same storage drive, operating system, graphics and everything else, both freshly installed with OS X, the non-Retina would be faster because it's rendering less pixels to the monitor, which increases the graphics speed overall.
However your likely to not notice the difference too much, unless you used both extensively using a 3D testing program or your frame rates on your 3D game.
Determine your Mac's ability for 3D games
I honestly can't tell too much between my non-Retina and my friends Retina display.
He wished he had the ability to upgrade his storage drive and memory like I can with my non-Retina, also to have a cd drive.

Installing Win 7 Pro as VM on Macbook Pro with 128G SSD

Hi there,
I've been searching for some good tips about installing Win 7 Pro as a VM on my new Macbook Pro (4GB i7 version) with a 128 SSD.
Here is what I have and need to achieve:
I have Parallel 6 to set up the VM;
Win 7 Pro 32-bit or 64-bit.
Needs: I only plan to use the Win 7 VM for these:
1. Run MS Office 2010 Pro Plus -- For compatibility reasons, I just have to use the Window's version of Office, Office 2011 for Mac is not an option for me;
2. I use video conference a lot, so I need to be able to control the built-in Webcam and Mic of my Macbook Pro from the Windows side, any speical driver I need?
3. I need to share some files between Mac and Win, but I guess the VM works fine for this kind of task.
3. As you can see, I only have limited hard drive space, any foreseeable issue with what I need to install?
Any tip is much appreicated!

You should probably post the Parallels forums: http://forums.parallels.com

Mid 2009 MacBook Pro not reading SSD? Help

I have bought a Kingston Hyperx SSD for my mid 2009 MacBook Pro but the laptop does not see the SSD. I have booted the SSD externally installed OSX and it boots fine on the laptop but NOT when fitted internally. Is this a firmware/software problem or is my MacBook simply not compatible with this drive? I have tried everything I can think of and the IT guy at my work has not got a clue either! ImGuessing a standard HD will work but as my old HD died I wanted to go to SSD.
Need some help ASAP!
Thanks!
Sam

The 2009 models were notorious for having faulty SATA cables and I'm betting that's the problem. Go to www.ifixit.com, find the part number for the SATA cable and search eBay for a replacement cable (ifixit simply want too much for the cable - and I've never known anyone who has received a faulty cable from anyone on eBay).
I'm at least 95% certain that's your problem.
Good luck,

Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

I want to replace the hard drive on my 15inch mid2012 macbook pro with a SSD but I just cannot clone the HD or reimage the SSD and I've tried everything. Please help...

What can i do to format, image and use the SSD as the primary drive on my macbook pro?

Install the SSD in an enclosure and connect it to the MBP via USB.
Open Disk Utility>Erase and format the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then select Disk Utility>Restore.
Drag the internal HDD to the Source field. Drag the SSD to the Destination field. Click on the Restore button.
This may take a few hours depending upon how much data has to be transferred.
When complete, Boot the MBP with the OPTION key.
Select the SSD and if it boots the MBP, swap the two drives.
Ciao.

Should I get a £999 13 Inch Macbook Air with 128 GB SSD or a £1249 13 Inch Retina Macbook Pro with 128GB SSD

I am a twelve year old boy ready to get my first Mac computer. I already have an iPad 3 and I really like it. Now I'm going to start saving up for a Mac and I am down to two choices, as listed above. I'm going to be using it for web browsing, games, drawing, word documents, presentations, movies, video calling, messages, Windows 8 and I will be using quite a few apps from the Mac App Store.
Also could you tell me how long Apple support the MacBook Air with the latest version of OS X and how long they support the MacBook Pro with the latest OS.
I also want to know if it is worth paying £200 to upgrade a 128GB SSD to a 256GB one.

If past history serves, Apple will support the 2013 models for 5-7 years with new OS upgrades but there's no guarantee. However that doesn't mean the computer will be worthless. I have a 10-11 year old Mac serving as a guest computer running an OS two versions old. It still does everything our guests would want to do while they are visiting.
The 128GB drive is the smallest I'd recommend and for a teen (who is likely to collect media and lots of software) I'd call the 256GB a very good idea - especially ince you indicate you want to run Win8 too.
The retina MacBook has a gorgeous display and has a faster processor but all those extra pixels push the GPU to the max. Until faster GPUs come along I'm avoiding the retina computers.
