How to disable motion detector in mac book black!

Hi there I recently changed the harddisc in my mbb 2008 model to a crucial ssd! I
understand it so that motiondetctor is no longer required  now?
I suspect it still interferes with my system as I notices lugging in webcams online  (pict freezes then continues) This did not occur before change...
Regards from Mbb SL owner  now with 256 gb SSD very smooth.

Just to make you comfortable, Bob isn't posting some "hack" for disabling the Sudden Motion Sensor.  Apple condones this method:

However... this comment caught my attention:

I agree with shutting down the SMS if you have an SSD (there is no purpose for it).  However, if you were not experiencing stuttering in your video with your hard drive and the SMS enabled, I don't see why the SMS would be responsible for stuttering with your SSD.  For starters, the SMS should only be activating if you are moving your machine around.  If you are not moving it around and you are still experiencing stuttering, you may have a different problem.  While SSDs offer great performance when they work properly, different brands and models have had varying degrees of success in Macs (sometimes working in one model but not another... or sometimes even working in one model and not in another machine that is the same model).    Random "pauses" is one of the more common problems.   Let us know if disabling the SMS works for you.

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

  • How do I check if my mac book air has a virus?

    How do I check if my mac book air has a virus? I was online and something started downloading, I closed it and put it in the trash but not sure if that is enough to get rid of it? Thanks

    1) Did it finish downloading? if no, you have nothing more to worry about.
    2) Are you using Safari?
    3) If using Safari, do you have Safari set to run/open any files automatically?
    4) Is your system updated with the latest security update? If not, why?
    The bottom line is whether the download was able to install anything.
    As long as your settings are such that no download is able to automatically open, and you ae up to date on your security updates, then you haven't much to worry about.
    Be familiar with the programs in your application folder, such that you would notice anything not supposed to be there. As well, check and make sure that nothing unknown is being launched at startup (check your account settings).
    The absolute best security a Mac can have is an aware and familair user who is moderately vigilant.

  • How do i set permission for mac book air to use drop box?

    I am trying to share photos with my son's mac book air. Each time he tries to access my Mac it says he doesnt have permission to access the Dropbox. I cant find out how to change this.
    His Mac book air has Air drop but it seems that I don't have this facility.
    I have tried exporting files to Mac book air and it looks like they have gone through but can't find them!
    It is exasperating- I thought sharing files would be easy- have no hard wiring to do it with so does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Any help appreciated!!!

    If your MBP has Lion installed then you have iCloud by updating to 10.7.2.
    If you have a 2011 MBP then Lion should be pre-installed. If it is not then you can purchase and download it via the App Store if you have 10.6.6 or later installed. If you have older PPC-only applications such as Office 2004, then they will have to be upgraded because PPC-only applications will not run in Lion.
    You can, however, add a second partition to your hard drive and install Lion on that partition. In this way you can keep your older applications and boot into Snow Leopard when you need to use them.

    As Terence said you're experiencing a kernel panic. Boot into your System install disk and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language selection window. Repair the disk. If DU finds problems and runs repairs do it a second time and then reboot.

    Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
    Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
    You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
    There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well.
