  • Hard drive upgrade for Mac Book Pro from 11/2007 with 120GB

    Hello
    My hard drive is full after 2 years. I contacted an apple reseller as Apple store would not advise on it, and they told me that to avoid overheating, I should not exceed 160 GB for a new hard drive. I was surprised as a 250 GB hard rive was optional when I bought my MBP. I was more looking at 500 GB but I am worried about overheating as my laptop tends to heat up a lot with the current drive already.
    How big a hard drive can my MBP accommodate (I understand 500 GB)? Will it create more heat which can not be dissipated by the MBP as Apple reseller told? Does 5400 or 7200 rpm change the heat levels (I understand not necessarily)?
    Thanks for your answers, may help me avoid buying a new laptop.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I have the 17" MBP from September 2007, and I ordered mine with the optional 250 GB drive, which is a Fujitsu 4200 RPM model. My Mac runs perfectly well on this drive, and it never gets hot.
    Since so many people have successfully put 500 GB drives in their Macs, I think the Apple reseller is misinformed. There may be a decrease in battery life for the 7200 RPM models, but I have read many posts where people report that the drives work perfectly well and that there was no heat problem.
    I replaced the 30 GB drive in my iBook with a Western Digital 120 GB drive, and have had no issues with it. The drive does make a slightly different and louder whirring noise if you listen carefully. My only regret is that I did not install a 250 GB drive instead of the 120 GB.
    Western Digital and Seagate both make 500 GB drives that should work perfectly well in your machine. Some people have reported problems with the 640 GB Western Digital spinning up and down too much, so you may want to avoid that one. If you go with the 500 GB Seagate, be sure to select one without the G-Force feature, as it is a built in type of sudden motion sensor which can conflict with Apple's built in Sudden Motion Sensor.
    Good luck!

  • 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?

  • My hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week.  I replaced the hard drive today and had to use my snow leopard disc that came with the computer to get teh thing going.  I was running Mt Lion which I had purchased last year on the old dr

    The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week.  I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer.  I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made.  I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either.  How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?

    Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild.  Isn't the technical era great.
    Backup, backup, backup
    As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
    3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
    2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
    1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
    More backup copies are even better.
    Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.

  • I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

    I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

    Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
    See info here.
    Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
    It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
    In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
    There is more info here.

  • I am trying to upgrade my hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far, just before cloning may start and receive an "error 254" and can go no further.  Any idea what this error is?

    I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive.  I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254".  Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive?  Thanks for your input.
    Vince

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    Ciao.

  • Can't connect my external hard drive to my Mac Book Pro. Any thoughts?

    I have a 2.0 TB WD Mybookessential as an external hard drive to my Mac Book Pro and I'm getting a "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" message every time I try to remount it. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Cattus, it is in fact a formatted disk with a lot of valuable data, so I do not want to reformat the disk.
    I followed your advice, however the repair failed because of an "invalid B-tree node size".

  • How do I transfer files from an external hard drive to my mac book pro

    How do I transfer files from an external hard drive to my mac book pro?

    What files are they? Is it a clone, a TM backup, or simply drag 'n drop?
    If it's the latter, simply drag them back. If something else, please post back with detailed info.

    Many thanks lllaass,
    The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

    Yes, install Flash, right here.

    Keep it updated, check here

    or here

    Tell your son never to install Flash from non-Adobe websites
    Flash and Silverlight are what's called web browser plug-ins that allow viewing of content on a lot of websites, it's so one format can be used with many different operating systems, computers and web browsers.
    So once you install Flash (or Silverlight if you use Netflix) then it's used by all web browsers you may have installed.
    However Flash can be used as a exploit angle, so  sure to keep it updated and not install it juts because a web site says so, bookmark the link above so you always download it from there.
    (I won't trick you, I would be banned if I did, plus Apple knows where I live.)

  • Where do i find microsoft explorer 7 for mac book pro?

    where can i download microsoft explorer 7 for Mac Book Pro 15'', (Intel)?

    Internet Explorer (which I assume you are refering to) is no longer available for Mac, and won't work on recent Mac OS.
    Latest version was Internet Explorerr 5 and was a PowerPC application, and therefore required Rosetta to work.
    I'm afriad virtualisation or some sort of WinAPI translator is your only way. You can also always dual-boot your Mac with Windows via Boot camp.
