HDD Problem - Macbook Pro

My 2011 macbook pro suddenly shut off, and it failed the test in apple and they told me to replace it. The question is: is there is anyway or any recommondation to make a backup for the damaged HDD? (I need to recover my data)

Ask Apple to try. Otherwise, you can remove the HDD and put it in an external enclosure for use on another Mac.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

    If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
    This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
    Just follow the steps:
    Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
    Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
    i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
    i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
    Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
    Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
    Right click the file and select Properties
    Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
    Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
    (remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
    It should look something like this:
    Make sure to add space between " and -"
    I hope This helps, although late cx

  • Does sata 1 3 or 6 matter when upgrading HDD on macbook pro 2.26 intel duo in the 13"?

    Need new HDD for macbook pro 13" 2.26 Intel duo and would like to get 500 gb 7200.  Can i put in a sata 3 or 6 or does it have to be sata 1?

    I thought if I was only going to use 1 module, I should put it in the bottom slot.
    It doesn't matter which slot you put it in. If you put it in the bottom slot, you won't have to remove it first if you decide to add a second one later. But why on earth would you choose not to use both slots now, when you have modules to put in both? 5GB of RAM is better than 4GB.

  • My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable

    Hey everyone,
    I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to.  My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized.  The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it.  To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new.  The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility. 
    Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
    Thank you

    jc1388,
    Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.
    best of luck

  • External display wakes up hdd of Macbook Pro

    Hi!
    I encountered a strange behaviour after the 10.8.3 Update. When i put my macbook pro 2012 into sleep mode while my external display is plugged in my macbook via vga to mini displayport adapter, everythin works fine. But when i plug in or plug off the magsafe power connector from macbook, the hdd wakes up and sleeps again. This wake & sleep happens in 20 sek interval turn until the battery is empty...I think it's the hdd because i can hear a starting noise on der right upper side. The macbook will only completely sleep, when i unplug the vga to mini display port adapter from my macbook...
    Can anyone reproduce this behaviour with Macbook Pro "13 2012 and OS 10.8.3???

    Switched from a MacBookPro 2 generations ago to the new one with the thunderbolt port and now I have the same problem, but the coloured tint of the screen has changed since the new update. Still no fix, but the tint is less extreme. And the colour switches between the light blue tint and the original quite regularly. Nothing of the sort on my old MBP. I use a mini displayport to HDMI converter though.

  • External monitor problem macbook pro mid 2012

    Hi everyone i have a really big problem.
    I add a new SSD OWC extreme 6G and a Data Doubler with the original HDD of my macbook pro, i follow all the instructions, i install the latest OSX and install all my apps, till there everything went well and awesome, really fast and i was really happy, but when i connect my external monitor a Samsung SyncMadster T220M my macbook pro freeze but if i disconnet goes back to normal.
    I shutdown and restart, connect again and the same.
    If i shoutdown the mac and connect the monitor and then turn on, the OS does not start and stay loading.
    SSD is the main Hard Drive and the standard HDD is the secondary for DATA
    I follow almost all the advice on http://blog.alutam.com/2012/04/01/optimizing-macos-x-lion-for-ssd/ except the advice only for SSD because i have SSD+HDD
    also i download the app Chameleon SSD Optimiser and turn on everything
    I really need help!!!
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    I USE MY MACBOOK PRO FOR PRESENTATIONS!!!

    I had never heard of "Chameleon SSD Optimiser" but I took a look at it after reading your message... I'm not sure that 'turning everything on' was a wise idea... enabling TRIM is fine, of course. I wouldn't think that 'Chameleon' options would have anything to do with your problem, however.
    What sort of adapter are you using with your Samsung monitor? I would imagine that there is either a hardware fault with the adapter, or with either your Mac port or the port on the monitor.

  • Input / Output error for new HDD on MacBook Pro 5.5

    Hi there,
    New to Apple Support Communities
    I have a problem with a MacBook Pro 5.5 Intel Core 2 Duo
    Original Fujitsu 160GB HDD crashed and I replaced it with a Hitachi 250GB HDD.
    Hitachi 250GB drive is partitioned to GUID Partition Scheme but when I try to format the drive in Disk Utility to Mac OS X Extended Journaled, I keep receiving an Input / Output error. I tried even erasing the drive and I get the same error.
    I also tried using Diskutil in terminal window and I get Input / Output error.
    I talked with a guy in work who knows about the Mac and he said the drive could be locked in which the Mac can't unlock to format the drive.
    There is nothing wrong with the drive at all. It works perfect. I'm at a loss as to why the Mac won't install the OS X 10.5.7
    I've looked at many Mac support sites for problems / solution but no solution
    Could someone who has experienced this before please help to resolve my problem.
    Regards,
    DTreacy

    Hi there,
    An update on the MacBook Pro 5.5 problem.
    Mac OS X seems to only install when the HDD is connected to the laptop as a USB drive.
    When I put the drive back into the laptop, it won't boot to the OS.
    The mount is /volume/Macintosh_HD.
    I even tried reformatting the drive but got an error that it could not unmount the drive. I tried a force unmount which worked but the drive disappeared from the disk utility.
    My only way to get the drive back was to connect it again as a USB drive and again I was able to install the OS again.
    Can some help to resolve the problem. How can I make the drive boot to the OS when it is connected as an internal drive
    Regards,
    Dtreacy

  • Replaced HDD, now MacBook Pro won't power on.

    Just bought a new HDD, Seagate Momentus 750Gb (link below). Installed it in my MacBook Pro, replacing the old 160Gb drive (also a Seagate Momentus, older version though) and when I tried to boot my laptop back up it won't even power on. I don't hear anything starting up, and the status light on the front doesn't turn on either. Putting the old drive back in and booting up it works perfectly fine, just like it did before swapping drives. The drive is supposed to be compatible with my laptop (MacBook Pro 3,1 Late 2007 15"). The drive is not partitioned or formatted, but this should not affect the laptop from powering up. I have no other computer to try the drive in to see if it is DOA but even if it were it again should not affect the laptop from powering up. Any advice on what could be causing the problem or something that I may have overlooked would be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Chris

    Hi c,
    Your options, as I see them:
    1. Contact Seagate tech/warranty support and see what they have to say.
    2. Get an external enclosure to try the HD in.
    3. Find another MBP to try the HD in.

  • Replaced HDD in MacBook Pro - Cannot Install OS X

    I upgraded my brother's 2007 MacBook Pro with a new 500GB hard drive. The installation went smoothly, hardware-wise it wasn't too difficult. The real issues (of course) begin where you think it will be easiest - the software.
    My brother told me that there might be a problem with his DVD drive, something I didn't take too seriously. I put in his copy of Snow Leopard and it loaded before I did anything with the computer on the desktop, took a little while. So I tried to boot off the disc, using either Option or C, and it would spin and hum for about 1 minute before spitting it out and displaying the flashing question mark logo (no bootable volume).
    So I grabbed a few other discs that I have to see what I could do. I created a bootable Lion disc, that did not work either. However, I pulled out a disc I had for my 2006 MacBook, and after flashing the PRAM twice I was able to boot that into Disk Utility and format the hard drive to Extended Journaled. Unfortunately, the disc, due to either incompatibilty or copy protection, I wasn't able to install any operating systems. "[OS X] cannot be installed on this computer." Not even base off of to build my way back up to Snow Leopard. Ironically, this is the only disc the computer seems to want to boot from.
    Things I tried: Target Disk Mode, before and after formatting the new drive. Nothing shows up on my 2009 iMac running Lion. I even tried the trick where you put a bootable disc in the iMac and send that into Target Disk Mode to try and let the MacBook use the working DVD drive. Still nothing. So I've got a blank, properly-formatted hard drive sealed inside a MacBook Pro, and no real way to install an operating system that I can imagine. Any ideas?

    Dave Derwin wrote:
    I sort of figured that my older MacBook disc wouldn't work but I was desperate to install anything on this drive by now.
    If any of the other discs are older or came with a different Mac, that may also be an issue. You need the original install disc or a retail version of an OS newer than the version which his Mac shipped with.
    Yes, I connected to my iMac with Target Disk Mode and did not see this drive appear in Disk Utility, the Finder, nor the Lion installer i opened for testing.
    Hmmm, not good.
    The 2006 boot disc seems to be the only one out of all the ones I own that this MacBoom with respond to. I can get to Disk Utility, see my new HDD, and at this moment Im doing a Zero Out erasure, after solely partitioning it didn't seem to help matters.
    I do not know if the Disk Utility software changed from 2006, but I'm wondering if that could be an issue. See my comments above on which disc to use.
    I thought about flashing an external hard drive and trying to boot / install from that. Could you point me to a tutorial for that?
    You need to boot from an install disc (proper one) and select the external to install to. What would be easier is to install the old HD in an external enclosure and boot from it, or is that dead? If so, were there any backups prior to death?
    Taking this drive out and installing with an enclosure is the last thing I want to do, for obvious reasons.
    Understood, but if it needs to be done . . . .
    I've read posts here about various HDs needing firmware updates, using too much power (acting weird). Have you checked the manufacturer's website and/or contacted their tech support?
    IDK how or why it would have helped, or maybe even if it was coincidence, but I've read posts here which claimed a PRAM and/or SMC reset helped in situations like yours. Certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

    Help please, Any help to overcome this problem will be appreciated.

    Then do this:
    If you have your original installer DVD boot from it. Do you still get a panic? If not, then backup the computer, erase the drive, and reinstall Lion:
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Note, that if you cannot start from the Recovery HD without experiencing a panic, then you have a hardware failure.
    Be aware that the panic report you posted is usually always associated with GPU failure for your specific model. It does not have anything specific to do with upgrading Lion or to Lion.

  • How to get win7 installed on optibay HDD on macbook pro

    Hi all,
    so I am in a bit of a pickle
    I recently bought a new 15" MPB with an apple installed 128gb SSD drive.
    My plan was to install a 2nd hard drive in the DVD spot, a 500gb with a 70ish GB win7 partition. I would like to use Win 7 for screencasting for windows tutorials and for Gaming...mostly for gaming
    I thought, naively, that this would be a simple boot agent setup...boy was I wrong.
    I have already installed the 500gb drive in the optibay, it is working fine
    I did not realize that a macbook pro cannot boot to an external drive or dvd. I could be wrong here but all my research seems to indicate that it can't...using something like refit does not fix this problem
    I tried going through the boot camp setup with my external dvd drive attached through USB...did not work
    also tried a USB thumb drive...no dice
    sooo
    any ideas on how to get a win7 install on my 2nd drive?
    I'd like to avoid having win7 on my 128gb ssd as there is limited space
    can I install win7 on the drive on an actual windows machine and then transfer it to the macbook?
    could I install the win7 partition to my ssd boot drive and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the partition to the 500gb?
    its actually kind of an interesting problem...but I'm stumped
    any and all help appreciated.

    I'm sure someone else who knows about this will pitch in. Although my monitor is HP 23 inch  and has both VGA and HDMI and have no issues. I don't have the miniport to VGA connector so I can't test it out with the VGA. Sorry for my inconvenience.

  • Dual Internal HDD in MacBook Pro? How? Which Models?

    Alright well it's official; my logic board failed on my 2011 MBP, and now I need to replace it. I have been trying to research the mythical dual internal hard drive setup in the MacBook Pros but haven't found any specifics on which models can and which models can't.
    The cheapest avenue which I can take is to simply adopt my older sister's laptop, but I wanted to figure out whether or not it's dual internal HDD capable.
    Here are the specfications on that laptop:
    And if this laptop is capable, can it handle 16GB RAM? I've heard conflicting anwers in regards to that, half stating that 16GB is possible but that Apple refuses to acknowledge the fact, and the other half stating to heed Apple's warning that 8GB is the max.
    The second (much more expensive) route is that if laptop is indeed incapable, as I fear it might be, which models should I look at? Was this just a thing of the past that is no longer possible?
    Thanks, and I appologize if this is a "dumb question"

    So the 2012 MBP is capable of supporting a 2nd internal HDD? Can you link to the OWC website that you mentioned?
    http://eshop.macsales.com/search/data+doubler
    The MBP *can* accept the 16GB RAM but does this void any warranty since Apple technically says that you shouldn't/can't run that much?
    Only on the RAM itself, not the rest of the MBP.  The RAM vendor guarantee will cover that.
    However installing the data doubler will void the Apple  warranty.
    Ciao.
    Re: RAM:  It is not that Apple prohibits the installation of 16 GB RAM, it is a case where they simply have not tested 16 GB of installed RAM.

  • Freeze Problem Macbook Pro 13"

    hey guys...i have a huge problem with my macbook pro 13"! i updated it to 8GB RAM. But even if i did this, my mac often freezes and stands still. No matter if i use just Safari or my Pro DJ Software, it makes huge problems...PLEASE HELP ME

    Run Apple Hardware Test on your system, if no problems are found, try resetting your SMC.  If you are still having problems I would replace the hard drive. 

  • FaceTime Problem - MacBook Pro Retina

    Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I have a problem with FaceTime.
    During a video call (only a video call, during FaceTime Audio I don't have any problems) I hear and see the other person well, but the other person sees me and feels jerky, sometimes subtle, but sometimes that makes it impossible for the other person to understand me. Tried with three different people.
    how to solve?
    It is not a wifi problem because I've tried with the iPhone and it did not give these problems ...
    Thank you!
    MacBook pro Retina (13' late 2013) 512 GB

    Hi there,
    I have the same computer as you, and I've noticed the same thing. Both facetime and skype have similar audio issues. I can seem to hear the other side fine, but my audio particularly breaks up a lot.
    The audio though my phone is perfectly fine when I facetime though the same network using my iphone. I previously had a 15" macbook pro late 2011 and the audio was fine. I realize the microphones are different in this new retina (late 2013) model - though the audio problems seem to occur even with an external microphone as well.
