Can i install SSD into MacBook Pro 2012?

Hi All,
I don't usually deal with Mac upgrades but i've been asked if i can replace the standard Hard Disk which is currently in a Macbook Pro 2012(?) model with a SSD storage?
My thinking is 'yes' as the SSD comes in SATA form anyway and the current Hard Disk is using SATA. So it shouldnt be a problem right?
Just thought i would ask in here as i'm pretty sure someone else has either done this already or confirm yes or no.
Thanks a bunch!
Lee

Yes.
See my one and only user tip -> Upgrading your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive.
Call back should you have any questions.
Good luck,

installing ssd in imac--how do you do it?

The Sata drive has standard cables but the other end that plugs into the logic board has standard Sata connector but the power (directly next to it) is about half the size of the one I have, it looks like its the same size as the Sata Data. nonetheless not standard. I think I saw microSATA cables but even they has an extra bit that I didn't need.

OS X is the same no matter where it is sold, and Lion can be switched to Russian in a few seconds by changing settings in the system preferences.

How can I install presets into Lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

How can I install presets into lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

Hard to know where the ball got dropped without details.
I suggest creating a new "test" preset in Lightroom, then make sure you can find it in OS (Finder/Explorer).
Wherever you found it - that's the folder your other presets should be in. If they are already in that folder, then the preset files are not copacetic somehow (e.g. not compatible type).
they should end with .lrtemplate

Can I install SSD and HDD on mac mini server?

hi. I want to buy a new mac mini server with two hdd. can I replace one hdd on my ssd and leave second hdd for files? And can I install OSX on my ssd and windows on my second hdd (divide it into 2 parts... for bootcamp and file storage)? thanks

AGStudio.pro
as I know, it is impossibe to install ssd and hdd in this model
Thats incorrect, who told you that?    Ive installed a second 7mm drive in several Mac Minis and own 2 myself. Typing on same now.
(you can put in a second 9.5mm drive rather than a 7mm drive, however it takes nimble fingers unless you want to completely remove the dual drive caddy from inside the mac Mini)
see youtube video on installing second drive in the Mini
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnrhin2ed8E
AGStudio.pro
   I don't need a server.
Then you dont need the mac mini server.    All you need is a standard mac mini.
The mac mini server is EXACTLY THE SAME as the standard Mac mini quad core mini,....except with a second drive and Server software.
All current Mac Mini have a dual slot for a SECOND DRIVE

Can I install my new iMac's OS X Lion software on my other Macs?

I've just acquired a new iMac with the latest version of OS X installed. I also have an older iMac and a MacBook, both running Snow Leopard and meeting all requirements to run Lion. Can I use the new iMac's software if all the other Macs are registered in my name?

The license that accompany's an installed version on a new Mac does not allow use on additional machines, but you can purchase and download a copy on one of your other machines and use it on as many as you own.

If your computer with an internal optical drive you must use that to install Windows in a Boot Camp partition.
If you are having problems with Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox virtual machines you should visit their respective sites for assistance.

What is a SSD and can I install one into my 2008 Macbook Pro?

I searched through some older threads about this and have obtained some basic information. Mainly that I should install a SSD but I'm not 100% what that is. I'm not super tech savy though so any help would be most appreciated. when I took my MBP to the Apple store the genius there called my computer vintage and said I should just buy a new one because there wasn't anything I could do it to make it faster. was he right?
here's my macbooks specs.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008)
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
thoughts? thanks!!!!

Replacing a HD with an SSD can give a remarkable boost in performance though you'd still have a vintage Mac. You can check out OWC as a reliable source for SSD's and look at their installation videos to see what the job is like.

Help! Can't install SSD in my new Mac Mini Server (2012)

Previously I've purcahsed Mac Mini servers and removed one of the two drives, replacing it with an OWC SSD. The hardware change was not hard to do and resulted in incredibly good computers for my employees to use which allowed us to retire several old, slow and abandoned-by-Apple Mac Pros. There were no issues with reformatting the computers after they had SSDs put in.
Today I took delivery of a new Mac Mini server, and started to do the same thing, removing the top HDD and sliding in my SSD, since I have many of them around. Unfortunately, the OS would NOT let me format the disks separately or remove the RAID. The volumes (the original 1 TB that was inside and my 480GB SSD) were both colored red when I booted into Internet Restore mode and ran Disk Util, something I've never seen before, and all it would do was say "there was a problem with your disk, would you like to revert it to a working state?" which in this case means Disk Util forcing my drives back into a RAID whether I want them that way or not. (At one point it fused my SSD and the 1TB drive into a single logical drive that had the correct size but didn't show separate sections, and couldn't be de-RAIDED at all, even when I connected to another computer with the Mac Mini in Firewire target mode.)
I gave up and put a 240 SSD in the lower bay, resulting in a 760GB RAID of two mismatched SSD sizes, which isn't what I wanted but I guess it will do. So far it seems to be working.
My question is, why in the heck is Apple forcing me to run my computers as a RAID and/or not letting me break the system into one hard drive and one RAID, which is what I want? (Having the backup disk right inside the computer is very handy.) Is this some feature to keep us from "making our own" Fusion drives? If Apple is deciding we can't hack or do anything interesting with Mac Minis, this will the last one I purchase, and I'm sure there will be others who do the same.
Since replacing one HDD with an SDD is likely to be the most popular mode imaginable for Mac Minis, can anyone tell me if they got a similar setup to work, and if so what did you do? Can you post the steps here for others who will be in this situation?

I'm not sure how or what is different between the Standard 2012 Mac Mini and the 2012 Server...? However it looks like your Server also uses Fusion like or similar to the regular Mac Mini's.
"The version of Disk Utility that comes with Fusion Drive is unique. Earlier versions of Disk Utility can't be used with a Fusion Drive."

Can't install OS9 on iMac DV

My current iMac is getting old, so a friend of mine gave me a replacement one with a blank HD. Being computer illiterate I followed the instructions on the old Install CD that came with my current machine. I clicked on Clean Install and after it was through, did a restart. The new machine said that installation was successful, although most of the items under the Apple Menu are now gone. Also, it would not let me eject the Install disk, insisting that the install disk WAS the Operating System. I had to force the disk to eject via a paper clip stuck into the slot.
What the heck is going on, and what should I do (other then toss the thing in the trash) ?
I'm computer illiterate, so keep your answers non-technical and understandable. Simple instructions, please

Control Panels are usually kept together within a subfolder in the System Folder. Because they are frequently used, they are, however, made readily accessible through Apple::Control Panels. (There are, of course, exceptions to that generality, but they make themselves apparent when they occur.) The path for Startup Disk is therefore Apple::Control Panels::Startup Disk.
When a CD is the current startup volume it is effectively 'in use' even when it is not being read. Some part of its contents will always be in System memory, so application files on it will notionally be 'open'. The system has an inbuilt constitutional objection to ejecting a volume with open application files, and will tell you so. Normal ejection needs that files be closed, folded and put away neatly. A startup CD finds it difficult to be the agent of its own ejection. This is in contrast to, say, a plain data CD that is being read only at need. Use of the emergency release mech. is best confined to when the iMac is shut down, using Special::Shut Down..., so that all housekeeping is performed in orderly fashion. Then the CD-ROM drive, having been deprived of all sentience, and being no longer on guard against improper ejection, will let go gracefully. In the present case the CD should have been ejected during restart from the hard drive. I doubt that your action will have damaged the CD-ROM drive irreparably, but it would have more-than-ruffled its brow at the time.
eBay is only one of a number of possible sources of a 'full install' CD, in well-worn (avoid) to near-new condition. I cannot tell you the part number of the North American English CD for OS 9.1 (unless it be 691-2748-A), but that for OS 9.2.1 is 691-3334-A. If you can avoid it, do not settle for iMac machine-specific OS 9.0 Install (orange), for OS 9.0.4 Install (grey), for any non-white CD labelled 'Restore', or for a full install version less than OS 9.1. You can expect to pay between USD10 and USD50, depending on the CD's condition and the intensity of competition at auction, or on the fixed price at a bricks-and-mortar emporium.
Your 'new' Mac's hard drive presumably has some kind of System Folder on it as a result of your previous installation. When you have your brand-spanking OK OS 9.1 or 9.2.1 full install CD, it will be cautious of you to trash the previous installation, using your install CD, before making a new installation.
The extras in the Apple Menu of your 'old' machine will have to be transferred to your new machine if they are not amongst the new installation. Before you go to that trouble, however, it will be as well for you to ensure that those extras are useful to you.
