Can i install ssd 2.5" of any brand in macbook pro? Please recommend me one..

I am having watch on                  Kingston V+200 240 GB SSD Internal Hard Drive...            ....
It is suitable for my bugget

The best SSD budget wise is the crucial m4. You can get a 128gb SSD for as low as $120 on Amazon, or $130 with a data transfer kit from crucial.com. They have a tool which will find the best ssd size for you, etc.. The SSD comes equiped with SATA 3 technology, and awesome stuff like that. It's a bang for your buck!

  • Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?

    Can I install both mac os and Windows 7 on MacBook Pro?
    I saw Windows XP picture on this website. And I would like to try mac os while using Windows 7.
    And does Windows 7 on MacBook Pro support high quality game experience? Im sick and tired of reducing to low quality graphics to play some nice games such as GTA 4 and new released games. Hope I can play games with high quality.

    If you have a brand new MacBook Pro or have installed Lion on an older one, you can only instal Windows 7 on Boot Camp (for some reason you can't use Vista or earlier). If you have a Windows 7 CD and a license, it's pretty easy to do via Boot Camp. See here for instructions: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macos
    If you install via Boot Camp, Windows 7 will run as fast as your computer is. Generally, MacBook Pros are very fast laptops, so you should be pretty good. That being said, just like any laptop, if it's a cheaper MacBook Pro, you won't have access to as capable graphics processing as more high-end machines. So if it's a newer game with crazy impressive graphics, you will likely not be able to tap into the highest settings on the game on any laptop.

    Can I install Windows 7 System Builder Addition on a MacBook Pro?

    rmsmac,
    do you mean Addition, or Edition? Is it a 32-bit version of Windows 7, or a 64-bit version of Windows 7?
    Why don’t you give it a try, and report back on whether you’re able to or not?

  • I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
    There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for:  Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro/?

    How can I install and run a Windows program on my MacBook Pro?

    You have several options.
    1, Use a Virtual Machine like Vmware, Parallels etc... to Create a Virtual Windows Installation and Run your program in there.  A Virtual MAchine will runn in a Window on your Desktop and share your Mac's resources RAM HD space processor. Your MAc desktop will still be available while you run Windows install.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    2. Install Windows on a partition using Bootcamp. It will run a full installation of Windows you can boot into, and run your programs.  The Mac desktop will not available until your reboot the computer and start in OSx instead of Windows.

    3. Use Wine /  Winebottler to run the Application without the need for a complete Windows installation.

  • How can i install mac os x snow leopard on a macbook pro new hard drive

    I replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro and I'm having difficulty installing Mac Snow leopard on the new hard drive. I press "C" when rebooting with the disk inside and all I get is "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again" any suggestion?

    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc.  Insert the disc into the
             optical drive and restart the computer.  After the chime press and hold down the
             "C" key.  Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
             dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
             OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

  • Installing SSD and keeping old HDD in the MacBook pro

    Greetings guys,
    I would need a hint or two. I have late 2012 MacBook pro 13', and I want to install Samsung SSD into it to improve it's performance. Now, I am musician, and I am using software instruments a lot, and I have tons of those installed on my HDD. I know how to replace HDD with SDD, but I want to :
    1. Keep old HDD by geting rid of the DVD drive for storing the data
    2. Transfer the whole system to the SSD with the operating system (I'm runing 1.8.5 Mountain Lion), and all the installations with it.
    Should I just back up my system, replace the HDD with SSD, put HDD into DVD drive slot and just use Time machine from the external HDD on fresh SSD and that's it? Or is there more to it, please advise! Thanks!

    That's fine.
    However, what you can do is to clone the HDD onto the SSD without using a Time Machine backup, so you do not need an external drive. You have to do this after installing the SSD inside and putting the HDD in the DVD drive.
    After putting the HDD in the DVD drive, turn on your Mac and it will start up in the HDD. Then, open Disk Utility and use it to format the SSD with a GUID partition table and "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as "Format" > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    After that, Disk Utility provides you a Restore option to clone a drive onto a different one, so put your HDD as "Source" and the SSD as "Destination" > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html
    Choose the option you want. The option you mentioned and the one I described are valid

  • How can I install Final Cut Studio 2 on my new MacBook Pro with Lion?

    I just purchased and received a new 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina) last week. I need to install Final Cut Studio 2 on this computer. I have researched this and found that I need to install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD in order to do this. This is the first Mac I've bought ( although I've been working with them for years), so I don't have a Snow Leopard DVD. I am a high school teacher and we use FCS 2 for my classes so buying FCP X is not a viable option for me since I teach FCP 6. The iMacs we use in school run Leopard and were never upgraded to Snow Leopard (budget cuts and all), so I can't even borrow one from my district.
    Does anyone know how I can obtain Rosetta? Or another way to install this without it?
    Thank you ! :)

    There is no way to add Rosetta support because it is not supported by OS X Lion at system level. This has been documented before the release of OS X Lion by itself.
    If you really need Final Cut Studio 2, I would return your computer if possible, and purchase a Mac that is capable of running Snow Leopard (all 2010 models, early 2011 MBP and some other 2011 models)

  • Installing SSD increased boot up time of my Macbook Pro

    Hi all.
    I just installed a Crucial M4 256GB SSD into the Superdrive slot of my 17in MBP with a caddy. I have formatted drive and copy all files from the HDD over to the SSD but the performance is so slow on boot. Before i installed it into notebook, I had the SSD connected via a USB dock and was able to boot from it fine. However after i installed SSD into my MBP, it takes quite a while to boot up off the HDD (3-5mins). After it boots, the SSD drive would not appear  on desktop for another minute or so. When accessing the SSD, i would get the colored spinning wheel and it waits before i am able to browse SSD files.
    After installation, I then tried to set SSD as boot drive and restarted it. The MBP would not boot from SSD and then reverts to boot from HDD.
    What is causing this? It is as if it has trouble initiating SSD, however SSD seems to work off cradle and USB just fine.
    Does it matter whether I had SSD in main HDD bay or superdrive bay?
    I used SuperDuper to copy files over.
    The get info shows that the SSD is bootable.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Nelson.

    A SSD may not even work in the Optical bay. Some do and sopme don't. IMHO it is not the SSD used but the Optical drive and more specifically the cable and restrictions Apple places on that bay. Apple only want you to use a Slow CD/DVD drive in that bay so they use a very limited cable system and may restrict the speed of that bay in the firmware to only work with slower type disks/disc (slower HDD and or CD/DVD drives).
    EDIT:
    That should of been.
    May not Work let alone Boot a OS from a SSD in the optical bay.

  • Can't Install After Effects CC or CS6 in New Macbook Pro 15inch

    Hi,
    Please, urgent help required. After Effects is not starting. Its installing, then saying this current version of After Effects v.12 is not compatible with my OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks. no problem with any other software. Its the first time ever something like this has happened.
    I had installed CS6 previously, and same result. Not compatible. So i deleted it. But on the Creative Cloud App, it still shows !!
    Please help.
    I am using the higher end MBP, with Nvidia GeForce card. 16Gb Ram.
    Thanks !

    I'm running CS6 and CC on a MacBookPro R and have been from day one. What problems are you having? What is the exact error message? What other apps have you installed? Have you read any of the dozens of other threads on install problems available on this forum and others?
    By the way, you should never just DELETE an Adobe App, they have uninstallers. You must now download the Adobe Cleaner tool (just Google it) and clean your machine,  then try again.
    Also, you must have the right CUDA version installed for AE to take advantage of Ray-traced rendering. Not having Cuda installed will not prevent AE from running but you will get a warning.
