  • What is the best hard drive cleaner for mac book pro

    I am wanting to clean up my hard drive , any suggestions as to what is the best product for this . I read reviews about ccleaner , which is in the app store but there was some really scary stories ... any suggestions .Thanks

    AppStore software has restrictions on what it can do.
    If you don't like CCleaner for OS X downloaded from their site (not AppStore), then OnyX for OS X at MacUpdate.com has been a long time favorite to clean the caches, log files and what not for privacy and troubleshooting corrupted caches. Followed by a reboot.
    Then a Disk Utility > Erase Free Space with Zero is recommended afterwards to scrub deleted files off the hard drive if that level of privacy cleaning is necessary as deleted files remain on hard drives until overwritten.
    If your having performance problems with your computer then look at this for solutions
    Why is my computer slow?
    If your selling the machine or have to clean it for security reasons
    How do I securely delete data from the machine?

  • What is the Best Hard Drive Camcorder for/compatible with FCP?

    Hi,
    Just bought a JVC GZ-HD7...feel very trouble...unlike those MiniDV Cassette base Cam,Just plug in FireWire and FCP will read!!!To use the GZ-HD7 in FCP might use a lot of steps to convert before inport the source.
    And now i'ld like to invest Hard Drive Camcorder for my FCP editing base,Is it a Good Media Format?
    If yes,Which Prosumer or Semi-Pro Camcorder will you recommend?Really need your helps,maybe you are the one who are currently using it and feel happy with over all?!
    Hope to get some suggestion from you guys!!
    Thanks!!

    Thanks for tip David. I work at a middle school, we shoot a lot of district functions with three cameras then use the multiclip function of FCP. If I bought three of these cameras do you think they will work well in that environment? here is our workflow:
    1. Sync cameras with a clapper at the start of show.
    2. Import into FCP
    3. Mark inpoint at the sound of the clapper
    4. Create the multiclip sequence and edit
    We have done 50 or so shows like this with 14 year olds as the editors and the results are very nice. I would like to move to the hard drive based camera. Being in education we are on a tight budget. Think three of these camerass would work in this environment?
    Thanks so much for your expert advice.

  • What is currently the best hard drive upgrade for 2009 white mac book? (within reason! ;-) ) looking at Seagate momentus 7200 320gb and momentus XT

    hello people of the Apple community.
    There seems to be a lot of threads regarding some similar issues. Some of the questions seem a few years old so I thought I'd post a new thread. I have a white 2009 macbook and I need to upgrade the hard drive to I think 320gb - cant afford any more. Im looking for a good 320gb fast-ish drive.
    A few questions arise as Im not 100% clued up with the terminology
    1) Is sata 300 of any benefit? how do i check what mine currently uses?
    2) Cache size and spindle speed: is 16mb the standard? and does 7200rpm drain the battery quicker? what do most people go for?
    3) Pleeeese someone recommend something good! The more you look the more numbers and options come available!
    Im looking at the Seagate momentus range .. Is the XT range of any benefit on my machine?
    Thanks, Jeremy

    If I may, it seems uneconomical to spend any amount of $$ to upgrade a "long in the tooth" Macbook. Instead, why not a huge (say 1 TB) external drive for $100.00? And move some of the files from the internal to the external. It will require some "house keeping" to decide what files go where, but this could free up a lot space on the internal, and therefore boost performance as well. And when the long in the tooth finally dies, you will still have the external.

  • What is the best hard drive configuration for disk/media cache?

    I just installed a 480 GB PCI SSD for my boot drive. I also have a 240 GB SSD and a 1TB 7200 rpm hd. Can anyone suggest on which drives to place my source files, aep files, media and disk cache and output for the best read/write speed? Thanks for any advice. Same question for Premiere Pro too, if you know!
    I'm using a Mac Pro dual proc, 12 core, 40 GB.

  • What is the best hardware test utility for my macbook pro?

    I'm familiar with Apple Hardware Test which is available by pressing the 'D' key before the gray startup screen appears, but what about other 3rd party utilities? Are any of them better than A.H.T.? For instance how does ToolTech Pro 6.0.6 compare with A.H.T.? Additionally is DiskWarrior any better than using the apple's built in disc utility (cmd + r upon startup or in utilities folder)?

    Thanks for the advise Linc Davis. I just spoke with a technician a moment ago who confirmed some of what you said. He told me that Disk Warrior is, as you said, for software related issues, but for hardware related issues they use Vilitans Software called Smart Utilities which is helpful in diagnosing any hardware related problems with a hard drive. He also informed me that there are no utlities, that he knows of, outside of what Apple Service Centers provides have that is any good for any other form of hardware diagnostics.
    The reason I've posted this is in hopes that there was something I could buy and use in the future when I don't have easy access to an apple store and for use now since I'm having trouble with my system periodically crashing during it's sleep mode. I would really like to figure out why. I've checked the hard drive already with the apple disc utility and it's fine, but I'm still getting the crashing so that's the other reason I was hoping to obtain this utility, but it's clear I should wait till I get to an apple store or service center to resolve this problem appropriatly.

  • Internal hard drive upgrade for 15" MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo) late 2008.

    I need to upgrade my internal hard drive to something larger (it is currently 250 gb). What hard drive will be compatabile? I will really appreciate any help with this.  Thank you!
    Specifications:
    Model Name:
    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:
    MacBookPro5,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:
    1
      Total Number Of Cores:
    2
      L2 Cache:
    3 MB
      Memory:
    2 GB
      Bus Speed:
    1.07 GHz

    The largest HDD that can be installed in a MBP has a 1 Tb capacity.  I suggest you go to the OWC website and examine the choices available there.  Any of the 2.5" HDDs will work.  They cater specifically to the Mac market and and have an excellent reputation.
    Ciao.

  • What is the best laptop cooling fan for a macbook pro?

    I have my macbook on basically all day every day and I just want a nice cooling fan for underneath it so it doesn't overheat on me

    I've never had any overheating issues, even when it is hard at work with several VMWare Fusion instances running concurrently. Just placed it on top of a Roadtech Coolpad (a passive laptop stand) and it's kept its cool thus far.

  • Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

    I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
    Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

    It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
    Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
    Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.
    I'll start you off..

  • What's the best hard drive I can put in my mac book 6,1?

    What's the best hard drive I can put in my mac book 6,1? Is there a solid state hard drive available? I've been through two hard drives in the last 3 years, which i primarily blaim on how much I have to move my computer around at work while the drive is spinning.

    Yes there is and SSD for your Mac.  I just ordered an SSD for a MacBook 6,1 from OWC.  http://www.macsales.com/
    Also check Crucial and Kingston.
    I ordered the DIY Upgrade Bundle: Mercury Electa 3G SSD.
    That MacBook is only capable of 3 GB/s so the 6G SSDs are overkill.
    I recently upgraded the memory from 2 GB to 8 GB.  It cut the boot time by a factor of three.  That is only a $100 upgrade.

  • What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

    While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
    SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

    Carbon Copy Cloner provides a 1 month fully enabled demo mode before you have to buy the product or stop using it.
