Hard Drive/MacBook Pro
I am just starting to move from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Pro. I will use FCP on both a Mac Pro and MacBook Pro.
When I edit with the laptop I plan on importing all my video into an external 7200rpm hard drive. Most of the material will be HD.
I was thinking of buying a G-Technology drive. I noticed that some are called G-DRIVE and others are called G-RAID. What's the difference? Does is really matter? Do you think that 500GB is sufficient for HD editing projects that range from two minutes to one hour?
And can you please suggest a couple of other quality alternatives.
G-Raid...two drives tied together (raided together) to increase speed performance. G-Drive, a single drive...a tad slower. If you are going to be editing AVCHD, that imports as ProRes, you will want the G-Raid. The G-RAID3 is darn solid.

Apple replaced my hard drive (macbook pro 2011). Now I am unable to buy/download ilife from the apple store "on this computer". Any ideas as to why?
Thanks for your help in advance!If the computer shipped with Snow Leopard then you would have received an install DVD for iLife with the computer.

Backup showing up on internal hard drive - MacBook Pro
I bought my first Mac ever a few days ago, and I am very pleased in spite of the slight learning curve! I have a MacBook Pro, 13 in, with Retina. I did a backup with Time Machine onto my external hard drive. Again, no problems. But, when I checked out system information and looked under storage, I saw 48 GB taken up by backup! What is that all about? Is there a way to delete that and keep all backups on the external drive? Thanks!
That's a local snapshot
You can disable:
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
Enter: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Backups on the External Drive will not be affected. -
Change Hard Drive MacBook Pro mid 2009
My hard drive is dying (the beach ball appears, concurrent with a sound that can only be described as a squeak, coming from, I assume, the hard drive. Then, the beach ball freezes and the machine can only be revived by a hard restart)
My Question; can I put a Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003, 750GB, Bulk 2.5 ", 8GB Flash, SLC, 32MB Cache, 7200 U / min • SATA III 6.0Gb / s in a Macbook pro Mid-2009 15"?
Would be very grateful for a replyAsk as many questions as you like, OK.
Basically yes they are all backward compatible except for the drives and or firmware on the drives that refuse to be backward compatible. Which drive they are I have no idea but mostly they are SSDs and not spinning HDD. The transfer rate on any spinning HDD is slow enough, even on the XT series, that if you have a SATA II bus the drive can't really fill it up, IE can't go over its theoretical Rated transfer speed and or the actual data rate it can handle.
The problem occurred on 2009 MBPs because some of the original cables used could not handle the extra data rate the XT series drive could deliver, both reading and writing to the drive. -
How to install hard drive Macbook Pro 10.6.3
I have a Macbook Pro Os X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. I was told that I have a failed hard drive. It costs about $195 for repair at my local shop. I read that I can purchase my own hard drive from BestBuy and have geek squad to install it. The guy says it costs $50 for installation but about $180 to reinstall the system. My question is....is there a good link you could give me for directions to how I can install my own hard drive? Also, when he says install the whole system, what does that mean. I already have my installation disks that came with my Mac. The hard drive that's currently in my Mac is a Western Digital 250GB. Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks for your reply. I let it run and it eventually said that Mac OS X can't be installed on the computer. And that the installer could not install the necessary support files. This was all done on a brand new hard drive and was the exact error given on my previous hard drive. (The one that I was told had failed). I tried installing from a clone of the CD on a USB but it stalls at the blue screen and eventually has a rotating cursor. Do you recommend anything further?? I would appreciate your help, greatly.

Spinning ball, hard drive, macbook pro
Dear Experts
I have mid 2009 Macbook pro (2.66 Ghz). I am frequently running into spinning ball that freezes my mac even for opening Safari, iPhoto etc. I am user of CPU demending softwares. Here is what I did till now
1. Free space on HDD is 78 GB (out of 320 GB HDD)
2. Ran Disk utility --> verified.
3. SMART status is OK.
4. Fixed all permissions.
5. Ran disk tool pro--> SMART status OK
6. Fixed bad alias
7. Removed all cache, junk, trash with CleanMyMac.
However, problems is persisted. I ran a bad sector check on disk tool pro and it shows all time that scan for bad sectors is failed while rest of the tests passed. I wonder whether my HDD is failing or what? I have already backed up on Time Machine.
Any experts has comments/suggestions? That will be of great help.
Thanks
SaiWhat you describe seems indicative of hard drive failure. You did yourself no favor, however, by running "CleanMyMac" which may have deleted some very important files.
I would recommend doing a full and complete reinstallation of everything. If you still have the 'beachballing' then I would try replacing the drive.

Dual hard drive macbook pro, triple boot, win7 won't load
As you have requested @ChristopherMurphy:
I've got somewhat of a unique situation (I believe).
I have a 13" Macbook Pro 9,2 (mid-2012). It came with a 750gb SATA HDD and internal optical drive. I installed a Samsung 840 Pro 256gb SSD in place of the HDD, then put the HDD in place of the optical drive. I have the system set up so that the SSD is my primary OSX drive with one single visible partition. Then I have the HDD set up so that the first 500gb is an HFS partition, and the rest is set aside for bootcamp. It was originally one 750gb single HFS partition, but then I used the boot camp assistant to section off the last 250gb for windows.
For the life of me I couldn't get a bootcamp install to work off of a Boot Camp Assistant created a x64 Win7 USB stick, until I read somewhere that I needed to actually disconnect the sata connector for my SSD. This worked, and Win7 was able to format from FAT32 to NTFS, then install and boot correctly from the HDD (with the SSD unplugged), and leave the HFS 500gb partition intact.
Then when I plugged back in the SSD, OSX can see that there is a bootable partition when I go in to "Choose Startup Disk" in SysPrefs, and if I hit the option key while booting, but all I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor. I believe that x64 Win7 is mad at me because I have changed the drive numbers that it uses to references how to boot up properly. I believe the solution may lay in running a Win7 boot repair set of commands, but I can't seem to access the Win 7 recovery console or "Repair Installation" feature using the USB stick that BCA created.
To complicate matters further, I successfully created a Ubuntu 13.04 USB stick, used rEFIt to boot off of it, and then had it split off and use the second half of my 250gb ntfs partition on the HDD to install linux.
To complicate things even further, I am using filevault2 with FIPS encryption module to encrypt both the SSD, and the HFS partition on the HDD.
I have installed rEFIt and used "bless" to have it be my boot selection menu (as instructed here: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/MacBookAir/2-1#EFI_and_Partitio ning). I can boot successfully into OSX, and I can boot successfully into Ubuntu. I still can't boot into Win7 though.
Here is the output from a variety of commands I've seen you ask others for: (http://pastebin.com/u3V01iWR)

Ubuntu and Win7 are installed on the final 250gb section of the 750gb hdd that I have connected to the Optical Drive SATA connector using a HDD optibay caddy.
i can successfully boot into the Filevault2 unlock screen, then into OSX on the SSD using the stock Apple EFI or rEFIt.
i can also successfully boot into Ubuntu using rEFIt.
The Apple EFI bootloader and rEFIt both can see the Windows installation and claim to be able to boot it, but it just hangs at a black screen with blinking cursor.
i have quite a bit of experience messing with partition tables in troubleshooting a friend's borked dell laptop that had a bunch of dell custom partitions on the drive. i've used Hiren's bootcd and many of the tools on it before. This EFI GPT + MBR stuff is a whole different animal for me though.
Can I use any of the commands listed below from a windows 7 recovery USB stick?

Trying to replace a failed hard drive Macbook Pro 17 2011
So, my Hitachi 750 GB HD just failed on my Macbook Pro 17" (2011). I bought a new Travelstar 1 TB 7200 RPM HD and have installed it without an issue (very simple to do). BUT, I do not have any install disks to use to install the OXs. This laptop originally had Mountain Lion installed, which I upgraded to Mavericks via iTunes. How can I install the OXs and then proceed to formatting the new HD? Am I going to have to call Apple to see if I can get install disks for Mountain Lion? Can I somehow create my own install disks from a Mavericks download? I'm pretty new to Macs, being a PC person, so not sure how to proceed at this point. Thanks for any help you can give me!
PattyOkay. So I was able to install, and format the new internal HD. Was able to install Lion then Mavericks. Next, is to try to retrieve my data from my failing old HD. I bought an enclosure (sled), and have my HD hooked up to my laptop, and it finally showed up in Finder. So. Now. What is next? I am seeing a screen that shows these folders: Applications (translate for the PC me = Programs), Library (I am assuming?? these are my various files such as docs, photos, music, etc.) System, opt, and Users. Should I just try to drag and drop some/all of the folders onto my desktop, then open up the folders and do something with the contents? Sorry to sound so vague and frankly, rather dumb-sounding, but the nomenclature with a Mac is a bit different than with a PC, and Finder is a little different looking to me than Windows Explorer. I am relieved to see that I was even able to get this failing drive to show up in the first place, so I feel a little like I could be on borrowed time with it. I think it may just be bad sectors, since I don't hear any clicking or other mechanical issues with the drive as it spins. But, any further help with retrieving the data would be VERY much appreciated!!

Upgrade Hard Drive Macbook Pro 13" 2009
I am really unsure which hard drive to get. I video edit a lot my video editing is taking up over three quarters of my hard drive space. Which one is better?

Hi folks,
Desperate for some help!
I have a very cluttered, slow Macbook Pro running 10.7.5. Bought a 2TB WD My Passport for Mac (2TB) with the intention of transferring my many, many files and folders over to it, to increase my memory and boost the performance of my Macbook. (Also handy to have files on the go).sktop
I transferred everything (all files off desktop, documents, photos etc) using drag and drop.
Then I trashed all the files, but did NOT empty Trash because I wanted to check the process had worked
Now, when I plug in my hard drive, and open it up, all my files and folders are there, but with little arrows on the bottom left of the file/folder. When I go to open any one of them, I get this message:
"The alias “X” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found."
I don't know what to do. Is this because of the way I dragged and dropped the files? I'm guessing so. Or is it because I still have the items in my Trash? (I'm obviously petrified of emptying the Trash now though) Is it because of my OS?
Apologies, I'm a novice to this (hence why my 4 year old mbp is running so slowly; it's got 4 year's worth of work on it, and now I obviously don't even know how to transfer files properly to an external HD) but I'd really be ever so grateful for your help. I just want to successfully back up my files to this HD so my mpb runs faster. I'm now terrified I've corrupted my files. I don't even understand what an Alias is.
Would love to hear from you! I'm totally new to these forums so hope I've posted right! Thanks!sibby22 wrote:

It sounds like what got created on your external is a collection of aliases which point to the original files and folders but aren't actually copies of the files and folders themselves. The original items have been moved to the trash so even if they could be found, they couldn't be opened. As a test, pick a file (not a folder) on the external that should be large and see what size it actually is (Get Info). Aliases are smaller so you can tell the difference apart from that little arrow (the Get Info box will also identify the file as an alias). Dragging the files to the external should have automatically created copies rather than aliases unless you held down the Command and Option keys while dragging.
In any case, you were wise not to empty the trash; to be safe get those important files back out of the Trash so you can start over. But this time, try moving a few at a time and let us know what happens. -
Windows guy looking hard at MacBook Pro
I have been looking at Macs for a long time and find myself in need of a laptop computer. I do 70-80% of my work in Photoshop/Dreamweaver/InDesign small amount in Illustrator. I currently run XP-Pro on all my computers. Vista isn't looking very attractive to me.
A lot of my work is database stuff and I need to use programs that aren't available on the Mac. Paradox, Access, Alpha5. I also use Corel x3 and I need to run Street Atlas USA.
I have been looking at the VMWare's solution for running XP applications and it looks really good from what I have seen.
I guess my questions are:
1. How much of a MacBook Pro do I need? I can't afford to max it all the way out.
2. Will the USB ports be available to Street Atlas USA when running under VMWare in OSX for my GPS?
3. Maybe there is a Mac program that is superior to Street Atlas USA?
4. I use a Spam software program on my XP by Cloudmark that is a really nice Spam killer program, it isn't available on Mac, is there a really good Spam program for Mac?
I have many more questions, but that should be enough for now.
Thanks,
KirkKirk,
Given that you will be using your MBP to do mostly graphics-related things, I do think the 17" would be best for you, and further, that the Hi-Res display would be best. There are 4 options: Standard Resolution Matte, Hi-Res Matte, Standard Glossy, Hi-Res Glossy. While the glossy displays have more "wow" factor, the mattes have truer colors. Most graphically-inclined users will lean toward matte for the truer colors. My recommendation is for the 17" Hi-Res matte.
The power adapter for the Macbook Pro is the "Magsafe" adapter. The "brick" is about 3 or 4 inches on a side, and about an inch thick. Integrated into one corner of the brick is the AC power supply; it comes with 2 interchangeable, molded connectors that fit to the brick, and become the corner: one provides a 6-foot AC cord with 3-prong plug; the other has a flip-out (duck bill) 2-prong plug (for plugging the brick directly into the outlet). The cord on the DC side is phone-line thin, also about 6 feet, and has the Magsafe connector on the end. On the brick, there are 2 flip-out arms onto which you can wind the this cord for storage. The design of the entire setup is brilliant.
You'll get the most mileage out of a Brenthaven bag for your Macbook Pro. It has WAY more than enough storage space for the Magsafe adapter and much more. Brenthaven has designed these bags as complete transport solutions. In other words, not to be added to what you already have, but to completely replace it. For example, the "Pro" bags include a dedicated area for items typically found in an attache case (integrated document dividers, accordion-style storage, miscellaneous pockets, etc.). My bag accommodates: My MBP, the power adapter, my Bose QC2s, my iPod, my digital camera, external hard drive(s), my cell phone, a USB hub, optical media, all of my "office-type" items (pens, pencils, documents, etc.), plus all of the cables, connectors, and adapters I might ever need to use all of the above.
2 GBs is going to be more than enough RAM for most users, most of the time. When running Windows concurrently with OS X (in virtualization), it becomes much less likely that 2 GBs will be enough, but not certain. It's best to see how things go for you, then move one way or another accordingly. If it becomes clear that 2 GBs is not enough for you, a 4 GB "kit" can be had economically.

2tb internal drive macbook pro?
I have a macbook pro 13 inch from spring 2010
Will this be able to handle a 2tb internal hard drive? it is 3.5"
also can i put in 16gb of ram?
And is it possible to buy an extended battery like 12 cell or something, so my mac has double the life?
Thanks soo Much!!The only batteries are those provided by Apple or Newertech.com and other third-party vendors you can google. You won't find anything with so-called extended life exceeding more than a few percent. Apple's laptop batteries are not quite like the cheap stuff made for PC laptops.

External Hard Disk & Macbook Pro
hello,
Ok enough searched so far, now I would like to know the reason that why i can not copy stuff form my Macbook Pro to External HD & what is the best possible way to get rid of it , keeping in mind i need to use External HD on windows as well.
Thanks & RegardsThe best solution is to format the hard drive for the following reasons:
1) You are not reliant on third party software
2) It will work on any computer and OS known to man
3) In the long run it is the easiest way to do things
Time Machine is the best solution to backing up your Mac.... Using Time Machine means that when your hard drive fails (not if, but when) you can quickly recover all your important data onto your mac.
Realistically yes the prior comments are correct, you don't "Have to" format the drive, BUT, in the long run thats your very very best option..
Also worth noting, being an Apple Authorised Technician, I face these issues almost everyday.... -
Solid State Drive MacBook Pro 2011
Good morning, I have a macbook pro 2011 and I want to change my internal hard drive for a solid state drive, which is the model and brand that works well?
I could recommend which to buy?
thanksHi Marcelo 22,
I upgraded the drive in my macbook pro 2011 with an OWC Mercury 480GB Extreme Pro. It work beautifully for a number of months. Then the laptop died with the display issue that is plaguing many macbooks of this vintage.
End result for me is a big investment in a nice drive, but in actual fact its pointless as the macbook is so unreliable its not usable.
If you had a differnt year of laptop, I'd say 100% do it. Its worth it. But as its a 2011, I'd say leave it. Wait to see if Apple resolve the GPU issue or if you're luck enough to have avoided it.
I don't believe for a minute that the upgrade of the drive caused this issue.
Regards

After many happy years with my PowerBook G4 12" (I will miss it definitely, as compact and cute as it is ;-() I'll now switch to a new MacBook 2.16 GHz with 2 GB RAM and a 120 GB hard drive.
I will have to use Windows (not yet sure if XP or Vista), as I need special software not available for the Mac, so my choice will be Parallels, so that I can work in Os X and at the same time use those Windows Apps I need.
However, I also want to be able to boot Windows-only with BootCamp, so I already learned I have to install Windows on its own partition.
So my question is:
How shall I partition the hard drive?
* If I have one big partition for OSX + documents and the rest (maybe 30 or 40 GB) for Windows, I won't be able to access my documents from Windows, right?
* So I would have to keep the data I want to access from within Windows on a PC formatted partition (if I don't want to pay for a software like MacDrive)?
Or can Windows running in Parallels read from a HFS partition?
* Does this mean: if I want to access (read and write) my documents in OSX and Windows, I have to keep them on a Fat32 partition?
-> This could be the partition where Windows is installed (but I'm not sure if I feel comfortable with that solution) of I would need a 3rd partition (Fat32) for data which would cause quite a big "segmentation" of the hard drive.
How did you resolve this problem?
Unfortunately, I don't see that I could really "separate" data I only have to access from Windows and those I only want to access in OS X, so in my opinion for me they all have to be in one place.
Looking forward to your comments,
Martin
