Can i clone my macbook air HDD into an SSD and then install that on a macbook pro??

i Have a macbook air 2013 with mavericks and my brother has a 2012 macbook pro with yosemite, i want to keep mavericks, can i clone my air's HDD into an SSD and install that SSD into the pro??

Yes, although your MBA does not have an HDD. It has an SSD. Just put the new SSD into a dock or enclosure, clone your drive to it, then install the new SSD into the MBP.
Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external SSD. Source means the internal startup drive.

Hey, can i clone my Macbook Pro internal hard drive and then paste it all onto a formated external hard drive, then make the Mac use the external as the primary hard drive?

If what doesn't work?
If cloning your internal drive to the external drive is not successful, I expect CCC will tell you so. Assuming that doesn't happen, you will have a bootable replica of the internal drive on the external drive once CCC has finished.
You can then do any of several things:
1. Replace your internal drive with a much larger one (320GB or 500GB, or even larger), and clone the external drive's contents onto the new drive so you'll have all your data in one place. Note that if you do this, you'll also need to buy an external drive that's large enough to back the new internal drive up on.
2. Boot from the external drive as a temporary measure while you clear at least 30-40GB of data off the internal drive, allowing you to keep using it and saving small amounts of data to it. The external drive will then contain the only copies of the files you've deleted from the internal drive, so you'll need a seond external drive large enough to back both the other drives up on.
If you can't comfortably clear a minimum of 30GB off the internal drive, you really need a larger internal drive right now, and you shouldn't bother fooling around with the inadequate one you have — you'll just quickly overfill it again.
3. Replace the optical drive in your MBP with a large conventional hard drive, giving you two hard drives inside the machine. You will then need one or more external drives large enough to back up both of the internal drives.
If you sense a theme here — back up, back up, back up — you are correct. It's flat-out foolhardy to own or use a computer without maintaining complete, up-to-date backups of everything at all times.

How Do I Clone My Hard Drive To An SSD and then Install It?

So This is what I'm Trying to do:
My goal is to get a SSD (Solid State Drive) and Use that to boot up My Macbook Pro, 15-inch, 2.2 Ghz quad core i7, Late 2011 Model.
The SSD Im Looking at is this one http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/YSSD6E060/ with this package.
Steps I Plan On:
1. Put all the files i dont want on the SSD on an External Hard drive and reduce what i have on my current hard drive to 40Gb
2. Remove the current hard drive and place it in the case with the USB 2.0 Connection
3. Use that Hard Drive (My 500Gb Internal Hard Drive) To Boot Up The Macbook Pro
4. Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) (http://www.bombich.com/) to Clone the Entire 40Gbs that are on the 500gb hard drive to the 60GB SSD
5. Erase the Old HD That's Currently In My Laptop.
6. Use the old HD as An external Hard Drive
7. Transfer all my files (Movies music and such) from my backup to the now external Hard drive
8. Link the folders to the new destinations
My Question is, will this work? If it will, tell me, if it wont, tell me and, More importantly, Let me know how to change my instructions. Any help, tips, and tricks would be appriciated and, If it is relevant, I will award points!
Thanks,
Simmm

Mac Performance Guide DigiLLoyd wrote a blog about his experience moving to a Boot Drive using an External FireWire. He said that having any boot drive was so superior he would never go back. (Since he is a raving proponent of SSD drives, I was looking for a white paper on Boot drives on SSD, and was very surprised that I did not find it there.)
This leaves me with the impression that the biggest speedup is ANY Boot Drive, and that putting the boot drive onto an SSD gives incremental, but not revolutionary, improvement for your work.
This is a real dilemma with a MacBook when you only have space for ONE Internal drive.
The real-world performance of an SSD could occasionally exceed to the limits of a 3G drive. But in my opinion, it will not seriously impinge on the performance. Your interface is probably limited to a 3G transfer rate anyway, so the 6G would be wasted.

Can I download the Creative Cloud programs on another computer and then instal them on my laptop?

You need to convert the std::vector<std::string> into a sequence of bytes. For example, if all strings are shorter than 256 characters, you could create a fresh output string, iterator through the vector, and for each element, append the string length to the output string, followed by the string contents.
Note that ordering in the database will be different from lexicographic order, and you have to keep that in mind when performing range queries.

Can content be loaded from one PC into the iCloud and then accessed on another (new) PC?

Can content that's loaded into the iCloud on one PC be accessed from the iCloud on another (new) PC?

I think you have a few of options…
Sign up for iTunes Match
https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
That will allow you to use iCloud to 'match' then download all the songs that are in your library, it will try to replace songs that are available in the iTunes store, or it will copy the files into your iCloud account. This may take a while depending on your internet connection speed. Also see the limitations (like the 25,000 song limit).
Copy the songs over to the new machine
If you create a playlist in iTunes with all the relevant songs you should be able to drag them into a folder on another disk. This can be an USB drive or it could be the other computer (if you can setup how to share the disk & mount it on your old PC).
You can then drag the folder of files into the iTunes Library on the other machine. That will copy all the files, however it will not create the playlists or the restore the play count's etc. It's safest to quit iTunes, open the "Automatically add to iTunes folder" in the media library and drop your files into that folder, then iTunes should import them all for you.
iTunes 9: Understanding the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
Move everything to the new PC
The final option would be to move all of the iTunes files & the library files to the new PC.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer (see the 'external drive' section)
This may not be an option if you have important media in both libraries because it replaces the entire iTunes library.
Also don't forget to deauthorise the old PC if you don't want to use it with iTunes anymore, it's also on that last page I linked.

Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

Hi Melophage,
Thank you very much for your response. I have a similar question to the one Abraham has, but applied to an offline Apple Store, say, the one in Ginza.
I will have little time in Tokyo, and would like to get a MacBookPro with a US or Int'l keyboard (with or without Hiragana, I don't really care as long as there are English letters on the keyboard) off the shelf from an offline store. However, I keep getting conflicting responses from both within Apple and on forums.
There's an option to get a US keyboard when ordering from Apple online, and that's fine. How about the in-store pickup option? Is there one, or will there be a MacBookPro with an English keyboard if I just show up at a store one day soon?
I would greatly appreciate an answer if you have one. Thanks in advance!

I can not boot my MacBook Pro. How do I get and save the data that is not backed up??

I can not boot my MacBook Pro running on Lion 10.7.4. I pressed control, comment P and R keys and O got to the disk utility, then I tried to repair disk and it can not be repaired. I get a message that tells me to back up as much data as possible ?. But if I can not open the computer how can I save my data??
I have a back up until 2 weeks ago on time machine. but the work of the last 2 weeks is extremely important how can I get it??
If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive

How can I backup my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive?

Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

How can i charge my macbook pro with a inverter

how can i get my macbook pro to charge using a inverter sometimes it will charge and sometimes it wont works fine when plugged into a ac outlet in my home

Although that may be true with some inverters it is not for all of them. If the inverter can get enough power to invert you can run a power saw off them, depending on the size of the inverter.
Problems start because people buy the lowest cost unit they "THINK" will work based on the printed specs when in fact they need a bigger unit.

At least one other poster received a "gift" of an 11 in Macbook Air from a grandmother, but really wanted a 13 in Pro. The question was if the computer could be swapped for the better unit.
I assume the recipient will not be so inapproptiate as to say "wrong computer -- I want a better one!!!", but the recipient may have certain items on their "Wish List".

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
