Having problems with copying the OS X to new SSD - SSD keeps ejecting itself

I recently bought an OWC 6G Mercury Electra 240GB SSD and a data doubler for my early 2011 MBP. I replaced the MBP's optical drive with the old HDD and installed the SSD to the main HD bay. After erasing&varifying the SSD I started cloning my old system to the SSD. This is when the problems started. The SSD keeps ejecting itself everytime I try to copy something to it or when I try to varify it. My OS X is 10.9.2. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

There is a recall on the 15"

Are you using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper? Did you try cloning from an external USB? or to one holding the SSD?
If the latter is successful, that would point to the SATA cable being faulty.
It does seem that SSDs are more sensitive to a defects in SATA cables than HDDs are.

  • Trying to Clone new SSD, keeps 'Ejecting' itself mid-copy

    I have bought a Crucial M4 SSD Sata 2. I am using a macbook 5.1 Mid 2008 Unibody, running mountain lion.
    I downloaded 'SuperDuper' and have renamed my SSD to 'My Mac'. I Then attempt to copy all files using SuperDuper, from my old HD to the New, using the selection 'Backup - All Files'
    It starts to copy as normal, all looks like its going well. Then i come back around 30 mins later and the disc has Ejected itself and of course the process then fails.
    I have attempted the process around 5 times now, and happens each time. I dont know if it is a connection issue, or a software/firmware issue.
    To Add, I am Connecting the SSD externally using a SATA Cable.
    Has anyone had a similar issue, who may have a solution?
    Kind regards.

    How full? how about just image and erase and restore instead? CCC
    Are you using TRIM Enabler? 3rd party of course.
    m4 threads were "popular" awhile ago (May/June) when they popped up almost daily - mus have been Memorial Day sale @ Newegg.
    Firmware of course is first thing. There was an update very recently.
    There was a bug in SandForce firmware on some models, not Crucial but amazing that here we are 4 yrs and every year, every new model that comes out, some issues and "field testing."
    Definitely think some designs of Icy Dock don't fit right.
    I would recommend in order: Samsung 830 #1 even if Apple was not now using them in their new Macs; Intel for great support and ease of firmware updates and testing they did; then one of the Marvell or top quality SandForce. Crucial m4 gets good grades and performance on PCs - just seeems like Mac w/o native TRIM means BGC works harder and not as efficient.
    And of course you are using it on an SATA2 bus so while still good, it is hampered a bit.

  • I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition

    I am having problem with using the Basic brush definition. When I try to click on it will not allow me to use it and will automatically use the 5 pt. oval brush definition. The only way I can use the basic brush is after I have already drawn something and then I have to click on the stroke and then press basic. This is incredibly annoying and if anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. (I have Adobe CS6)

    for whatever reason, the basic 'brush' you see in the brushes palette effectively means removing any brush from a path. to draw with the brush tool you need a brush defined. in your case the last one selected being the 5 pt oval one.

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • I am having problems with copy and then paste function

    Within the past month, I noticed that I am having a problem with my copy and paste function on my IMAC.  I have an intel based IMAC with the Mac OS 10.5.8 running.  Is there anyone experiencing this problem?  Any assistance, recommendations?

    Then try a SMC reset:

  • LSMW - Problem with copied and edited Project - missing new field

    I have copied an LSMW project to a new Project to load a Journal Entry to FI - Transaction Code FB01.  I added a new field VALUT (value date) to both the Maintain Source Fields and Maintain Field Mapping Steps.  The data with the new field shows up in Display Read Data, but it does not show up in Display Converted Data.  This new field is the last field in the csv file, i added it to the end of the Source fields.
    I think perhaps i need to create a new Batch Input Session, because when i run the Start Direct Input Program, one of the messages that comes up refers back to the original project name - not my renamed Project. --> "Session Name OLD PROJECT NAME was opened"
    (The steps available on my screen do not include a "Create Batch Input Session" step, as some of the posted answers show)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Sandra, Thank you for your reply.  I am not sure what you mean by restart.  if you mean go through all the steps- yes, i went through all the steps again. I also exited out of the LSMW screen completely and went back in to my project and redid the read and convert data again, just to be sure, but i am still missing the new field in display converted data. 
    The only change i made to the Project was to change the name of the Project, subproject, and object and to add a field to the Source Fields and Field Mapping - for field mapping i used the default rule of Transfer(move)and my source and code seems to be correct - in that i followed the example of all the other fields.  i also changed the name of the file where my new csv file was located, but i did not change the names of the read and converted data files. Perhaps i need to change something else? It seems to me that it is still using the instructions from the old project to convert the data.  Thanks again.

  • I'm using firefox 3.6.12 and having problem with copy and pasting.Going on for about 2 weeks. Thanks.

    When trying to copy and paste, i have a hard time with at least 9 attempts before it takes effect. Thais has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Everything seems to happen as it's suppose to until you go and try to paste.

    Update; As of now, i am able to copy and paste. Steps i have taken to correct issues i had before.
    - I installed browser again, but issue came up again.
    -I uninstalled Google Chrome browser, it recently showed up in my task manger when i was not using the browser. AnVir Task Manger showed it being in use, so i stopped the processor and uninstalled Google Chrome.
    '''From Zdnet;Google has shipped a new version of its Chrome web browser to fix at least 14 security vulnerabilities that expose users to malicious hacker attacks.'''
    -I was using Iobit Toolbox Memory. For some reason, this seemed to be the cause of the problem. After uninstalling it, i am able to copy and paste with no more issues.
    I'm no expert, but this has worked for me. Enjoy your weekend. :-)

  • Having problem with downloading the window driver

    Hi i have Macbook. i have OS X 10.6.7. I installed Window XP using bootcamp. only problem is that i dont have the original disk when i bought the Macbook. is there any other way to download the driver without the original CD? Thank you.
    (and for some reason it wont let me download the windows support driver... do i need Blank CD in the Mac to download it?)

    Hi,
    sorry to say but you need the original OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
    No legal place to download those. Only the later updates which require the Drivers from the OSX disc to be installed.
    With the exemption of the MacBook Air the download of the 'Windows Support Software' does not function currently.
    Regards

    Have you restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod? If so then you have a hardware problem. Maybe a loose/brken connector or maybe something else.

  • Is anyone else having problems with SMS the new IOS update.

    When trying to send an SMS sometimes it just hangs with the circle going round and around or it will not let me hit the send button at all and I have to shut my phone down completely and restart it, then do the message all over again.  Very annoying especially if the message typed out is a long one.

    After the second attempt to get this to DL and install and getting the same thing
    ie DL finished, Install Done and nothing happening it has occured to me that maybe Apple has some restrictions on upgrading from Snow Leopard.
    …but as usual, doesn't say and hasn't programmed the Installer to correctly parse the environment and provide feedback.
    SO I checked:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
    and my Mac and OS all seem to comply.
    So I am back where I started. Multiple huge DLs and no installation.

  • Having problems with resetting the frames

    Hi.
    I have a jsp page that is set to 4 frames(the codes is below).
    at the main frame, it has a logout button for users to log out. However, when i try to logout. The logout screen only takes the space within the body frame. What must I do to display jus the logout screen?
    Thanks for helping!

    for the logout button, set it's target to be "_top"
    ie logout
    That tells it to replace the entire frameset, no just the current frame that it is in.

  • Having problem with change of name in the datagrid Coding

    I am having problem with changing the name of the datagrid header text name for one of the data either in the flash file or the php file.
    The thing is i want to change the Course_Name to Course Name that has no underscore so that it will look nicer in the datagrid but if I change it in the php file like SELECT Course_Name as 'Course Name' ....., it will not turn out in the datagrid when I CTRL ENTER the flash file but the others like Price,description and display is shown.
    There is no problem with my php code but I do not know how to change the Course_Name into Course Name so please help me resolve this error that I am having.
    This is my flash code
      function goCourse(e : MouseEvent):void
      gotoAndStop(5);
      refreshResponder = new Responder (refreshSuccess, onFault);
      connection = new NetConnection ();
      connection.connect (gateway);
      dataDG.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, gridItemSelected);
      refreshData (true);
      function gridItemSelected (e: Event): void {
      ID = e.target.selectedItem.ID;
      courseTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Course_Name;
      priceTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Price;
      descTxt.text = e.target.selectedItem.Description;
      private function getParams () {
      var param: Object = new Object ();
      param.ID = ID;
      param.Course_Name = courseTxt.text;
      param.Price = priceTxt.text;
      param.Description = descTxt.text;
      return param;
      private function refreshData (refresh: Boolean): void {
      if (refresh)
      connection.call ("Course.viewCourse", refreshResponder);
      private function refreshSuccess (result: Object): void {
      dataDG.dataProvider = RecordSetDP.toDataProvider (result);
         dataDG.columns = ["Course_Name","Price","Description","Display"];
      private function onFault (fault: Object): void {
      trace (String (fault.description));
    This is my php file code.
      function viewCourse()
      $this->connect();
      $sql = "SELECT Course_Name,Price,Description,Display
      FROM coursetb";
      return mysql_query($sql,$this->_connection);

    i don't see where you're calling your php file in your code, but change 'Course Name' to 'Course_Name' (or vice-versa) there.
