Cannot get any SSD to work with my mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro!! PLEASE HELP!

I have tried over and over and NO ssd seems to work. All I get is a blank screen. This is very strange because I had a 128gb crucial m4 running firmware 000f for about 8 months before I decided to upgrade and never had a problem with it, not a single beach ball. Now when I decide to upgrade the 128gb m4 with a 256 m4, I run into problems. I returned the 256 m4 thinking that the drive was defective, and I purchased a Samsung 840 250gb to see if I would have any luck with that one. NOPE. Still didnt work. As a last resort I went with the intel 520 240gb, and still nothing.  Im extremely puzzled by this. Especially since I was alredy running a ssd on my machine prior to deciding to upgrade. ALL the ssd's I tried were brand new and sealed and the method for installing the OS on them was by using carbon copy cloner. Anybody know whats going on? Anybody else experiencing/experienced the same?? Did I ruin my mac?? Right now I am using a Western Digital scorpio black 7200rpm 500gb hard drive and it works just fine. The problem seems to happen only when I decide to upgrade to a ssd. Oh, and by the way, I am running Mountain lion 10.8.3

I'm running 10.8.3 with a 512GB Crucial m4 SSD and having no problems. It sounds as if you've a problem with your SATA cable, which will rear its ugly head more often with SSDs than with hard drives.
If I were you, I'd order a new SATA cable (from ifixit or PowerBookMedic or maybe even OWC). Then try out a new SSD. See if your problems are fixed then.

  • Does any one else with a mid 2012 13 inch macbook pro have this problem?

    I took my computer in for repair last year having this problem and the problem has started again. I don't know why this happens because I am very carefull with my laptop and never use it on my lap. I also have a shell case on the computer and put this in a laptop sleeve. Also,  have friends that abuse their laptops and have the same model as me and they have never had this kind of issue. My software is up to date so I don't think thats a problem.
    Model: Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012
    I purchased this in June 2012 and do not have apple care so if someone can tell me how much the repair for this problem will cost that would be great!

    That looks like a GPU or display problem.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be free regardless of warranty status.  You will be told what repair costs will be, which you may accept or decline.
    Bring the image with you just in case the MBP starts to behave it self in front of the technician.
    Ciao.

    to wainstead ( I saw your post at the JTL forum, who knows when the authors will be around)
    I tried using the <taglib-uri> and it works for me(I am using Tomcat 4.0).
    In fact I can use just http://www.man as long as it matchs what I put in the uri attribute of the taglib directive of my JSP.
    But the situation is confusing because according to the Servlet2.3 specification
    "taglib-uri element describes a URI relative to the location of the web.xml document,
    identifing a Tag Library used in the Web Application." Perhaps someone with more experience
    can explain.

  • Equium A200-196: Cannot get all speakers to work with Creative T7900 home cinema system

    I run windows Vista home premium, on my Toshiba Equium A200-196, and i have a 7.1 Creative T7900 system.
    I cannot get all speakers to work. Only the woofer and two front speakers are currently playing sound.
    The sound option in the control panel doesn't give me any options besides stereo speakers.
    I have no option of selecting 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and i need to know do i need a software driver (all drivers are showing up as up-to-date), or do i have to change some other option, or purchase an external sound card?
    I only have two jack inputs, a mic in and headphone out. How can i get all speakers to work and achieve the home cinema experience?

    Hi there,
    I dont think that the sound card is capable to do 5.1/7.1 since there are many more jacks required then only one "sound-output".
    If I were you I would purchase a external USB-soundcard which is capable to do 5.1 or 7.1 to deliver you the full home-cinema experience.
    Another solution is not existent. Sorry mate.

  • We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

    Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

    Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
    a Shutdown computer
    b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
    c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
    d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
    e Wait one minute
    f Turn on computer
    Repair your disk permission: http://bit.ly/OeD7U3
    Run Cleanup tool http://bit.ly/vnukXY
    Download updated driver from Lexmark website http://bit.ly/ToA1fo

  • Satellite P300-150 PSPC4E: Cannot get Express Card slot working with XP

    Hello.
    I have downgraded to XP on my machine and unfortunetly I am unable to get the Express card slot to work.
    The Intel chipset drivers on the Toshiba site haven't dont anything.
    I am trying to get an eSata port working via the express card like I did with Vista but no joy at all.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Rob

    Go to Device Manager and check if the express card is installed properly, or if its reporting an error.
    You should update the BIOS to the latest version. BIOS updates can sometimes fix problems like this.
    And ensure you have XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.

  • Cannot get ITS SSO to work with EP6 Sp15

    I am having problems with SSO from EP6 to ITS (my EP5 to the same ITS works great).
    This is what I have done.....
    It is a R3 4.6C system so I wondered if any patches were needed....however I have got SSO working with the SAP Win GUI - so this tells me that the R3 system and the imported verify.der certificate is OK.
    The connection test for ITS works - so this tells me the parameters in the System are correct.
    The parameter mysapcomusesso2cookie is set to 1 - and this is the same ITS system that is used for SSO between the EP5 portal and R3....and it works in this case.
    I have set only the following parameters in the System:
    ITS Description = Test1
    ITS Host Name = myportal.com:91
    ITS Path= /scripts/wgate
    ITS Protoco = http
    Logon Method = LOGONTICKETS
    Anything else I may be missing?
    Thanks

  • HP Photosmart Printer-cannot get the apps to work with a USB hook up

    I purchased a HP Photosmart Printer C310 and hooked it up to a USB, not wireless. The apps on the printer will not work, says it has to be on wireless for those features to work. When I purchased it the guy said I could use those apps even if it was on a USB hook up? Any ideas of how to get the apps to work without the wireless?

    Make sure you have done this to reset the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    and that you have restarted your computer since this problem occurred.  You should also try disconnecting all USB devices from your computer including hubs (except standard keyboard and mouse if normally used), and connecting the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.
    There are no iPod viruses. But data corruption on the iPod's storage is possible. 
    If doing the above does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the iPod, from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If data corruption or a software glitch is causing the problem, a Restore should fix it.

  • Cannot get USB port to work after re-installing of SP2 on Satellite Pro L20

    After re-installing XP Home SP2 and downloading all the updates & Drivers from here I cannot get my USB port to work properly, if I have more than one peripheral plugged in it says "Bandwidth Exceeded".
    I have a Behringer BCD2000 which is a souncard/midi controler for DJ mixing, it worked fine before i reinstalled windows, now it clicks and pops when playing tunes, also the ASIO doesn't work when I run Traktor (Dj software) and the program freezes. Any other external sound card wont work either. I've been all through the device manager no conflicts apart from an ! over Serial under hidden devices.
    I'm lost, is my only option buying a PCMCIA sound card, it worked fine before so surely there is a software solution to this?
    If anyone can help I'd be most appreciative.

    Hello
    Try to disable USB Error Detection:
    1. Right-click My Computer and then click Properties.
    2. Select Device Manager to view the Device Manager
    3. Locate and click the Universal Serial Bus Controller entry.
    4. Double-click Universal Host Controller and then click the Advanced tab of the Universal Host Controller Properties.
    5. Put a checkmark in the box for Disable USB Error Detection. Click OK.
    6. Restart the computer to see if "Bandwidth Exceeded" message occurs again
    Did you use recovery media to reinstall WXP? When someone write it worked before and now not it is really not easy to say why this happen. Try to configure notebook as before and maybe it will work again. Behringer BCD2000 is not known to me and I dont know how it works and which software must be preinstalled there.
    Can you use different USB devices like external HDD, USB mouse, USB memory stick or printer?

  • How do you get core audio to work with maverick. I'm using logic pro X

    i'm having problem with core audio and maverick

    It sounds as if you have altered the Tempo after recording the Audio ( but before selecting +Follow Tempo+ ).
    This would make your Regions adapt from the old tempo to the new one, therefore changing their timing.
    Here's a bit more info:
    Audio files recorded in Logic Pro can follow the project tempo—inclusive of tempo changes—set in the global tracks.
    +Note: These audio files can also follow the first key signature set in the global tracks.+
    As an example: If you record a bass solo at 100 bpm, you can change the project tempo to 120 bpm and the bass solo will automatically be played back at the new tempo.
    The function works with all audio files that were recorded in, or bounced/exported from, Logic Pro.
    The function only works in the parent project (the project the audio files were created in). If you drag a file recorded in a given project to another project with the Finder, the file can not follow the project tempo.
    Bounced or exported files can only follow the project tempo if the “Add resulting files to Audio Bin” option was enabled in the Export or Bounce window—prior to the bounce or export.
    Files copied between two projects retain the ability to follow the project tempo.
    The project’s tempo information is used to tag the beats in the recording. The function works best if your audio files match the project tempo as precisely as possible. The longer your audio files are, the more RAM is required for this functionality to work properly.

  • I cannot get my iphone 4 to print yo my brand new photosmart 6510 printer please help

    please help me get it to print. I've tried to search for the printer serveral time and it can't find it. All of my other computer on working wirelessly
    Thanks

    The steps given above would be the correct way to utlize Air Print.
    AirPrint makes printing your email, photos, web pages, and other documents easy with no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect. Simply hit 'print' and continue surfing the web without a single interruption.
    A quick workaround, for your issue would be to download HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the app store which will help with finding printer on network and give you diffrent print options.
    Print from virtually anywhere with HP ePrint Home & Biz: print wirelessly to supported HP printers on a local Wi-Fi/other network; print to any registered HP ePrint-enabled printer in the world.
    1. On your mobile device, install and register with iTunes if you have not done so already.
    2. Open the Apps Store .
    3. In the Apps Store Search feature, type HP ePrint Home & Biz , and then tap Search .
    4. If prompted, provide your iTunes account information, and then tap OK .
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP. .....

  • Why doesn't my EarPods with 3.5 mm work with my iPod touch and my MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPod touch 4g and a Macbook Pro that i bought on October of 2013. I have an EarPod 3.5mm but it won't work witht these items. Should it work? Should it not work? You can hear sounds but they are unclear or you cannot hear them at all if you listen to them.

    If you have another device that uses headphones try it with that. If they don't work get them replaced or buy some good headphones.
    You are welcome.

    Hello,
    We are a Novell site and have a mixed group of computers on site. Everything from Linux, to Mac, to Windows, XP and 7 both Pro. We have the network set up that when a user logs in their "my documents folder" is redirected to a network drive. We have had no issues with this in Windows XP pro. However on Windows 7 Pro we can net get this to work. Here are the steps
    Log in as local admin with is default so mapping or anything special.
    Next we log in as our self which brings up the network mapping
    We install the program
    Then what is supposed to happen is when ever someone logs into that machine they have access to all programs and everything automatically saves to their network drive. However this is not happening. If you sign in as local admin it all works fine but as soon as you add the network portion we receive an error stating that itunes could not start due to insufficient rights.
    Can someone please help me with this.

    Your server is Novell? Try running the machine in Virtual XP mode.
