Can you tell me if this hard drive is compatible with MacBook Pros Intel

Looking to upgrade my MacBookPro to a higher capacity drive. Is this drive compatible with it?

I don't think a 1TB drive will be available to you. Check this web site for drives and how to's:

Sata III hard drive cable compatible with older generation of macbook pro

Would my macbook ( 17 in mid 2009 ) be compatible with a new hard drive cable ( sata III ) ? I upgraded my hard drive to Samsung Pro 840 and wanted to upgrade my sata II cable to a sata III for faster read and write. Is this possible?

Dave The Newbie,
replacing the cable will not increase the interface speed, just as putting racing slicks on a minivan won’t make it a dragster. I have the same model SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and my MacBook Pro’s SATA interface is limited to SATA II, just like yours. Unless you’re planning on mainly running disk-bound apps, it’s not something that you’ll need to worry about — just enjoy the SSD as is.

Can anyone tell me what the Speedometer-like icon associated with my USB drive partitions mean?

This seems to be new to Yosemite. Or at least I have never seen it until recently.
In Disk Utility (and Carbon Copy Cloner - which I use to create a bootable copy of Macintosh HD to a USB HD partition) there is an icon that looks like a speedometer or perhaps a thermometer). The needle is all the way to the right in the red portion of the icon, which looks rather ominous.
It is easier to see in Carbon Copy Cloner than it is in Disk Utility, but exists in both applications.
Can anyone tell me if this icon is coming from Yosemite (or perhaps Carbon Copy Cloner) and exactly what it means?
The drive passes S.M.A.R.T and general Disk Utility testing and appears to behave normally. I do not believe the drive (a five year old 1 TB WD My Book Essentials 2.0) supports temperature monitoring so I doubt it is a thermometer. And the icon does NOT appear next to the partition used for Time Machine backups but does appear next to the other two GUID, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) partitions.
Thanks.

ricfromkennewick,
It comes from installing an enhancing utility made by Western Digital (WD), Its supposed to and I quote "improve the performance of the drive on a Mac Computer." It comes in a folder, possibly call extra, already on the drive when you get it. If you go to http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?level1=1&lang=en and find your drive you can pull up the specific user guide to learn more.
Hope that helps,

My imac will not load after I enter my password. The only thing I get is the arrow from my mouse on top of a blank white screen. Can anyone tell me what this is? I've restarted and turned off several times. I left it on in this state for 8 hours hoping it would reload and work. No luck.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

This is a known malware site:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/16ffcd2699ffe17f14aefd48d09fa6789ac7bef1e981d1 4bc15b0b4241f078ce/analysis/1401447687/
http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?tpl=safari&site=mobi-service7.com
The malware on that site cannot affect your iPad. In fact, there is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). The question is, where did you come across this site?

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing. Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

When I switch libraries I lose the majority of the material in my main library and can only restore it by repairing the database. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem? Thanks

When I switch libraries I "lose" the majority of the material in my main library (or at least I can't see it) and can only restore it by repairing the database. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem? Thanks

I seem to have found a way around it. Rather than switching libraries by going into files/switch libraries I used Aperture Preferences to change them. I've done it a couple of times and it appears to work OK.
That is an interesting finding. It suggests, that your "Preferences" file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" may have been corrupted and you fixed it this way. Can you now switch between libraries the usual way? If not, I'd try to remove the "preferences" file from the user library to the Desktop and relaunch Aperture.

Hi can anyone tell me if this is normal, my computer has been extracting an adobe download all night???? and it has cost me $60 in pre paid internet already, i hope it is going to work!!!

Where did you choose to download the install files too?

Can anyone tell me if this is correct ?

Can anyone tell me if this is correct ?
String query = "SELECT * FROM " + tablename + " where RECP_MOBILE = '" + mobile + "'" + "and USER_ID = '" + id + "'" ;
( mobile and id are values from another place )
I tried to execute this, but as long as the user_id is right, it will return me the values even though the mobile is wrong.
Thank you.

I think you should have a space before "and USER_ID"; I'm surprised it even runs without that. Otherwise, it should be okay as long as mobile and id don't contain any quote characters.

Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client t

Please! can anyone tell me if after I create a site with adobe muse, is there anyway for my client to edit and update text and to a lesser extent images on the website?
I don't care if the client text/image editing and updating doesn't update in my Adobe Muse, as long as my client can update the text online.
Please help me answer this question, I have used adobe for decades (2) and am a print designer. I want to use Muse for websites but if my clients can't update text and images, I don't see how I can make it work.
If I have to use Business Catalist too; I don't care. I just want to be able to use this great software.
Sorry if I soud desperate but I'm holding on starting a website for a new client and need to get this answered first.

At the moment you can't using Muse's widgets, though you can insert html! So, you could have photo galleries linked to flickr that the client can update to, for example. I'm sure there are other options for slicker slideshows that can be updated client side!
For text, I'm too much of a novice, unless you were wanting a blog style: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/7257782-creating-a-blog-in-adobe-muse-powered-by-nab ble
Basically, I think you need to find the right html to embed for your purposes

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices? I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not. Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections? I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
"1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
Also in those reviews:
" Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
Personally I only deal with OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
As far as value for price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
500 GB for $130.
However as far as reliability is concerned:
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

HT1766 I can't get my iPod to "backup" to iCloud. It started and told me the estimated time remaining. When I came back, it said it couldn't be completed because the verification request timed out. Can anyone tell me why this keeps happening?

I've tried several times to get it to Backup to iCloud. But every time I do, it will start and say it is "backing up". Then after a few minutes, it tells me that the backup could not be completed because the verification timed out. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Can anyone tell me what this string is in the server permissions?

Can anyone tell me what the character sting is third from the top?
This is taken from the server app < select the server < storage < then edit permissions.
I feel like this is something simple, but all of my searches have turned up nothing.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

I have recently deleted a user.
Can I remove them from the ACL with no effect to the system?
Is there a more efficient way to do that rather then by each individual folder and file?
Thank you,
