Attempting to upgrade Yogo Pro 2 SSD to larger one by cloning (and obviously failing)

The laptop: Yoga Pro 2
OS: Windows 8.1
Situation: The laptop comes with a Samsung 128gb ssd (mSATA). I used this space up, and need to upgrade to a larger SSD.
Solution: I bought a Crucial M550 256gb ssd from MicroCenter for $159, and a Kingwin KM-U3MSATA USB 3.0 Mini SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter. I downloaded a few free cloning programs, EaseUS, Acronis and Macrium Reflect.
Problem: OK, so i have cloned a few HDD's in my day. Never once had a problem transferring full cloning to a new larger drive. But this time I am having all kinds of problems.
Process-
1) I stick 256GB card in Kingwin Enclosure.
2) I plug enclosure into USB 3.0 slot on Yoga.
3) I select Disk Management
4) Disk management says it needs to initialize disk before using. Asks me to choose either MBR or GBT. I choose what is preslected- GBT.
5) Disk appears now in Disk Management as Unallocated.
6) Open up EaseUS, and select the cloning option.
7) Choose all the partitions in the first section, and my new 256gb drive as the option to clone them too. I leave uncheced "optimize for ssd" and something else about sector stuff.
8) All seems to be going well. Sectors start writing.
9) Then for some flipping reason it stops writing, maybe halfway through. I get an error code.
10) I send the error code back to EaseUS. Its rejected as undeliverable.
11) I delete the partition, which now is coming up as a RAW format.
12) I try to repeat the process, sometimes with little to no success.
I did return the SSD back to microcenter to swap for a new one. That didn't seem to help matters.
So can anyone offer any help for a desperate Yoga fan? It's not supposed to be this hard, is it? What am I missing?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK so if anyone wants to know, maybe you are experiencing the same problem, I have found a soltion for this, that worked for me anyways.
I was attempting to do a full disc clone, outlined the the procedures above.
I tried SEVERAL different cloning programs, and all came up with the same problem- It would stop working midway through a clone.
I thought it was maybe a setting on my laptop- Maybe the USB port, SSD etc is set to turn off at a certain time.
Nope. I changed all these settings, and it was for nothing.
So as a last resort I chose to image my SDD instead of cloning it.
It required I send the file to my Desktop computer (it had enough memory available, so I found my Desktop on the Network and sent the image to a public folder.
Then I used my Kingwin USB SSD adapter, plugged it into Desktop, and wrote the Image file to it using EaseUS software.
Plugged the larger SSD into my Yoga, and it went through all four original bottable media options in DOS, denying me every time, but after proceding it allowed me to choose the Crucial 256GB SSD afterwards. Booted right up.
I did have to use AOMEI Partition to merge the unallocated space with the imaged Partitions, but afterwards I am all set.
Still no idea why I couldn't just do a simple system clone.

My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

I Have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". It was running issue free until I upgraded to Yosemite. Now my logic board is fried and apple will not fix it. It started with mail accounts unable to send mail, just had to delete accounts and re- install to fix that. But, at the same time as the download, I started intermittently getting a green tint over the screen along with a snowy static like an old TV set. Fearing that my download was corrupt, I re- installed Yosemite over-writing the previous version . The green haze kept coming and going, but I also started getting strobe style white flashes in boxes in the 4 corners of my monitor. I had to do power button forced shutdowns because of pointer and keyboard function failure. Apple Genius desk told me it appeared to be a logic board failure but my computer was too old for them to work onand referred me to a Mac Specialist Center. I was told by both places that Apple installed defective logic boards back then due to changing solder formula. They extended product warranty by adding 1 yr but that still expired in 2012. I tried to post a warning on Mac Forums twice about Yosemite being a poison pill to certain platforms and my posts were pulled. The second attempt was responded to in my personal email account stating that if I don't stop posting derogatory comments, I will be blocked from forum. I am just trying to insert warnings in posts where I can. They haven't discovered that yet. Spread the word!

HT1533 SSD PROBLEM: unable to reinstall osx and also failed in backup recovery.

Yesterday my MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly got hanged and freeze. And I have to restart system by hard shutdown. Then I faced this problem every time. I reset nvram but it did not work . Then I thought May be it's corrupt operating system I tried to reinstall new osx maverick from recovery mode but system freeze again during osx downloading process. I tried this 2 more times but the same problem occurred. Afterwards I deleted all ssd drive data in partitions but when I tried to unmount and delete the partitions here I was failed in unmounting partitions. But I deleted all data from all partitions.after this I tried again to reinstall osx but system hung after sometime. I also tried to recover from my time machine backup but the same problem happened and my system got freeze and I have to hard shutdown. I also did hardware diagnostic test which showed everything ok. Now I am realizing that my SSD got corrupt. Could you please help me what I should consider that can fix my problem. I also tried fsck and verify and repair the disk.

Devbird,
are you still able to boot into Recovery mode? If so, select Utilities from the menu bar and run Terminal from there. In the Terminal window, give it the following commands, one per line, separating each command by pressing the Return key at the end of each line:
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
mount
Please include in your reply the full output from these commands.

I upgraded to iphone 4. When sync to comp. Comp. asked to upgrade. I did. I tried to open itunes and it failed. Quick Time error 2096. I went through severals procedures. Finally could open itune. Pluged phone in comp it will charge but wont sync

I upgraded t iphone 4. When I sync to computer. I was asked to upgrade itunes, I did. When I tried to open itunes a Quick Time Error 2069 occured. I went through several procudures. Finally I could open itunes. When I pluged in the phone, it would charge but not sync. What now?

update...
I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
Frustrated.

Upgrade from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2 (Mojarra and MyFaces) failed.

Dear all,
I tried to upgrade from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2 but failed. The application starts OK in jsf 1.1 both myfaces and RI, but failed to start using JSF 1.2.
My environment is as follows.
- JDK 1.5
- Tomcat 6.0
- Facelet
- JSF Mojarra 1.2
The error is as follows, occurs when starting tomcat (my application is in context /web)

Documentation that I read from mojarra FAQ states that i need EL, but EL has been included in Facelets.
Am i missing something? The following is the part of web.xml that i used, maybe useful to locate what i am missing.

Hi BalusC,
Thank you for your time answering my question.
For the first point, you were right. Now I have downloaded the latest Mojarra release.
As for the case of web.xml, i should mentioned that I have tried declaring it as Servlet API 2.4 and Servlet API 2.5, and still got the error. My web.xml that declares as 2.5 looks as follows:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaeeweb-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
On the third point, maybe i stated my problem in a wrong way. What I meant was, I tried each implementation separately, and both implementation did not work.
About Glassfish injection, i followed the step in Mojarra FAQ regarding the following error.
JSF1033: Resource injection is DISABLED
This error showed when i started tomcat. However, since I use the latest Mojarra release, the message error disappear. I have deleted the "glasshfish injection provider" from web.xml, and the error has disappeared.
Here's the latest of my tomcat startup messages (after i replaced the Mojarra libraries, declared as servlet 2.5 in web xml, and removed glassfish injection provider from web.xml).

The application still failed to start.There wasnt enough information for me to digest what is actually went wrong, other than SEVERE: Listener start. And let me say this again, the application starts OK when I used JSF 1.1 (Reference Implementation or MyFaces).
Anyone has the same experience.?

I have 2 auxillary disk drives for my MacBokk Pro. Time Machine uses one for backup and I use the other for storage, but I am unable to create a new folder or drag and drop files or folders to the aux drive.

I am unable to create a new folder on either of my auxillary disk drives. I can access the files and folders that were there when I transferred one of the drives from a PC. Time machine uses one for backup and I want to use the other to store photos which are large files. An help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

I live out in the county where WiFi is not available. I don't have internet either. I have purchased the ipad2 and have been told that I can print from the ipad2 directly to the HP Officejet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one. Is that true?

I would like to be able to print from my ipad2 or my iphone4 directly to a wireless printer. I don't have WiFi at home or internet. I am able to get my emails and use the internet thru both these at home. Will I be able to use them to print? Any suggestions which printer? I was told that the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A eprint all-in-one should work and wouldn't have to use a router. I don't want to go purchase this and try to set it up if it won't work thru the 3G network.

How to upgrade Sata Hdd to SSD on Mac Book Pro 13"?

I have a Mac book Pro 13" and I want to upgrade my Harddrive to SSD. Also want to know how to do cloning, so that no data loss will be there.
Regards
Sid J

what you do is first put the the SSD in an external enclosure and hook it up to your mac. Then, open disc utility in your utilities folder. Erase the new SSD and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then, run the cloning program and it will make a mirror image of the HDD currently inside your mac to the new SSD in the external enclosure. Then, remove the SSD from the external enclosure and put in it your mac. All done! . If you are unfamiliar with an external enclosure, they are very inexpensive..here is one I own: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817106115. Any further questions you my have either now or during the process, don't hesitate to ask, I have done this process a handful of times and it is very easy even for the non-techie.

Mac Pro (2006) SSD Hard Drive Upgrade

I have a Mac Pro from 2006, but it is running a but slow on the hard drive front. Plus, the drives are now seven years old and I do not want to chance the data failure possiblity. What is the format I need in order to get two or three new SSD drives which are compatible with my Mac Pro? Also, do I need to purchase any adapters or converters for the SSD drives to work within the machine? Finally, how do I copy my current primary drive to the new SSD drive so it could take the place of the current main SATA hard drive in the unit?

You don't need more than one SSD.
You can buy WD 10K VelocityRaptors. $100 250GB / $125 500GB / 1TB ?
Or WD Black 1-2TB for data.

Yes you should replace and upgrade disk drives more like every two years. Yours (and mine) are 6 .5 yrs old now. And huge changes in capacity and performance.
To use an SSD it depends where you put it. There are 2 SATA ports unused on the logicboard you can access. An IcyDock for older Mac Pro only if you use the drive bays. I run the 2 ports out the back.
An ATI 5770 is a great upgrade for Lion.

Need help! Attempting to Upgrade to Mavericks broke my MacBook Pro

I'm in need of help. I'll try to give all the info I can.
I have had this MacBook Pro for at least 4 years.
I had been running 10.5 for a long time without issue. At some point, I set up a dual boot with Windows XP. I'm not sure why I did this. It seemed like a cool idea at the time. I rarely ever used Windows... But I liked having the option. It worked very well.
Years went by. No issues. A few months ago I tried updating itunes and realized I needed 10.6 in order to do that... so I bought a Snow Leopard disk and successfully installed the upgrade.
Past few months I've been running 10.6.8 without any issues. Dual booting into Windows XP still worked. No issues.
Then today I realized that installing to 10.9 through the App Store was free. Sure why not... so I tried installing the upgrade... It downloaded, rebooted, started installing and then quit. Something about my disk being corrupted or something. It suggested i reboot my machine, back up my files and try installing again.
Unfortunately, now when I tried booting, it was giving me a grey screen with a circle and a slash through it instead of the Apple logo... and then it would immediately boot into Windows.   It wouldn't boot into OSX at all.
I tried booting into safemode and it would just sit at the green screen (apple icon showing) and sit there for hours. NOthing would happen.
I tried booting via my OSX Snow Leopard disk and doing a repair disk and it's not allowing me to. Any ideas?

It doesn't really make sense for the drive to suddenly fail. I don't even think Mavericks fully began installing... it downloaded the file, rebooted and then said that the install failed.
The drive is set up with 2 partitions. One partition for Mac OSX and the other for Windows XP.   I'm still able to boot into Windows XP without any issue at all. Doesn't that suggest the drive itself might be fine? I wonder if the attempt at installing Mavericks messed up some files on the MacOSX partition?
Here's what I've attempted to do...
I tried doing Shift + Cmd + V and this is the last few lines of code it gives me:
** Root file system
Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.6-3).
** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid extent entry
(4, 0)
** The volume could not be verified completely.
/dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
fsck failed!
Kext loading now disabled.
Kext unloading now disabled
Kext autounloading now disabled.
Kernal requests now disabled.
Can't get kextd port.
syncing disks... Killing all processes
continuing
I used my OSX 10.6 (snow leopard) disk to boot holding C... this allowed me to open up disk utility from the utilities menu. Within Disk Utility, I see my Mac OSX partition drive... When I click "Verify Disk" it gives me an error saying "Invalid extent entry. The volume could not be verified completely. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk"... When I click "Repair Disk" I get an error that says:
"Verify and Repair volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid extent entry
The volume could not be verified completely.
Volume repair complete.
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk... disk, and restore your backed-up files."
And a popup that says:
"Disk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD"   Disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files"
.... Is there anything else I can do? Again, the second partition (on the same drive) that I have called "Untitled" is home of my Windows XP partition. I'm having no trouble booting into Windows XP...
NOt sure what I can do from here. It seems the attempt to upgrade to Mavericks messed some stuff up. I am merely guessing that this is due to my drive having two partitions (one for Windows). I guess it's semi plausible that it was just a complete fluke and the drive randomly got corrupted after 5 years at the exact moment I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks, but I find that highly unlikely.

Does anyone have a problem with upgrading Macbook Pro late 2011 hard drive to a SSD?

Hi Guys i am planning of upgrading my hard drive on my Macbook Pro 15" late 2011 for a SSD, does any one have any problems while doing this, i was told in some cases the mac loses the avility to go to sleep and etc, i would appreciate any come that you may have in this subject.
Also can any one recomend a good cheap SSD for my mac, i am looking at the crucial version, it appears to be ok.
thanks guys

I believe they are up to 2TB in the 2.5" laptop drives.
Do a quick google on the brand & model first to see what the reviews are and failure rates.
I use Hitachi in mine.
SSD's are also an option for you. These are much faster than the traditional mechanical drives, but also much more expensive & are much smaller in capacity.
Here is a link that gives you some idea of options.

Any SSD issues with early 2009 "silent upgrade" MacBook Pro?

I was thinking about getting the 2.66ghz March 2009 version of the 15" MacBook Pro (ExpressCard slot version; model MC026LL/A). You can still find them online here and there.
Does anyone know if this version has the same freezing issues with SATA-II and SSD drives as the June 2009 versions?
Since I'd like to put in a Crucial M225 SSD, I was hoping this may be a better way to go than a June 09 version.
Thanks
Jason

Hi Sunil Gubbi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are using or considering using Yosemite on your MacBook Pro (Late 2011).
Some Continuity features, including Handoff, require a MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later).
Handoff and Instant Hotspot are supported by the following Mac models, and require OS X Yosemite.
MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later)
MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later)
iMac (Late 2012 and later)
Mac mini (Late 2012 and later)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
You can find this information and more details about Continuity at this link:

Upgrading Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) worth it ?

Hi
I was wondering if it´s still worth to upgrade my mac pro 3.1 (early 2008) ..... or I should sell it and buy maybe the mac pro 2010 or anything like that...
my system is
2,8 Ghz 8-Core
8 gb 800 Mhz DDR2 ram
Ati radeon 2600 (i think it slows everything down.... )
system HD: WD Velocyraptor 10000kb/s (320 GB)
second HD: WD hd 7200kb/s (1 TB)
third HD: WD hd (it´s slow, the one that apple built in mac pro)
SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.8
to be honest I think my mac is too slow... especially loading from HD or something takes time and the beachball appears often... I mainly work with Logic and its not really nice.... bad performance... lags and so on...
I really need another video card.... in logic pro everything lags and I think its because of the slow video card...... also I think my RAM is too slow (800mhz)
and I thinking about getting a SSD Samsung HD and remove the slow third HD apple built in...
what do you think? this would be not cheap upgrade for me.... and I think about selling my mac pro 2008 and getting a newer one... from 2010 or anything like that...
thank you guys!

Open the side door.
If your software required PowerPC / Rosetta then Lion is not for you.
I would ask in Logic Community what they recommend.
I think you can improve your system, disk drives are something you need no matter what and you wouldn't be using disks from 2007. I would think 16GB RAM would make more sense as next step and then play safe with Apple ATI 5x70 for $249.
Hopefull you have backups but yes, rotate out and clone onto new drives.
