How-to: how do I check the disk speed on MacBook Pro?

I ordered and received a MacBookPro 15". I ordered the faster disk: "200GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm [Add $100.00]" QUESTION: how can I verify that I did in fact got this 7200 rpm disk?
thanks

Check your System Profiler. Go to your Apple menu, select "About This Mac," click on "More Info" and click on "Serial-ATA" in your System Profiler. It will give you the make and model number of the drive.

  • How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro ?

    How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro to make sure i have what i ordered? THe last time I wanted the SATA 7200rpm but they sent me the 5400. How do I see this on my mac? can't seem to find it.

    Here is something i copied from another forum site that could answer your question-
    Look in your "System Profiler", you can find it using Spotlight or looking for it in the Utilities folder, which is in your Applications folder.
    This will give you the model number, which you will then have to find online (probably using Google) to find out what speed that particular model number is.
    Then again, someone might have an easier answer.
    "That's exactly what I did. My MacBook Pro has a Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS Drive in it. Running that model number, it shows a 7200 RPM speed."

  • The disk image "Name Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use Try ejecting the disk image

    I upgraded my Mountain Lion two weeks ago and I've experienced number of issues since then.
    Now I have problem with the Time Machine.
    When I try to create backup I'm keep getting following message:
    "The disk image "MyName Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use
    Try ejecting the disk image"
    The problem is that Time Machine seem to be ejected, I checked this both in Finder and Disk Utility.
    Please could you possibly help me with the issue?
    I work on 2010 Macbook Pro

    Try the following:
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

  • How can i check the temperature of my macbook pro

    Hi, my Macbook pro, purchased in November '13, seems to get quite warm when streaming videos or using skype. I understand that these are heavy on the VPU, but it seems to get a lot warmer than my other PC notebooks. The fan was audible for the first time ever today. Is there a trusted app that can be used to measure core temps?

    There are many.
    iStatPro is a widget for the Dashboard.
    Temperature Monitor is one such app.
    Google, try the app store.

  • HT1428 Log into FileVault gives error on disk try again later. This is only account on system how do I log in to do disk repair. MacBook Pro running lion

    Only have 1 account on MacBook Pro. Protected by FileVault. Log in  says your home folder didn't open. It needs repaired. We click ok. Unable to login to account at this time.  Account failed because error occurred.   Everything I have read so far has me doing things from the finder but I can't get into the program. This happened after I did an update last night  and it asked to restart system. I have it backed up on external drive through time machine but I can't get in to use it.

    Hey Sky42,

    Klapschaats,
    Unfortunately, the installation media that comes with your Mac will only work with that particular machine. These installation discs are not the same as a retail copy of Leopard. The retail installation disc can be installed on any supported machine. The installation media that came with your Macbook Pro for example has data on it meant only for that machine. Think of it also as something like an "OEM" disc for Windows when you purchase a machine from Dell. That particular installation disc is licensed only for that machine and contains files specifically for that machine.

  • How do I get photos from out of the trash on my MacBook Pro

    How do I remove photos from the Trash on my MacBook Pro?  Am using Kodak Easyshare program and have tried using both to no avail
    Pat

    Recover Files in The Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • How to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?

    Is there a piece of code in JavaScript on how to generate PNG file to the disk folder by IBOT?
    thanks a lot

    Please disregard this message. The information below is only semi-accurate. When I get some kinks worked out I'll edit this again. -Bill
    FYI,
    Don't really know if I'm adding anything useful but here it is. I use NetBeans and I simply added an images folder so now I have my package (deckofcards) and a sub package deckofcards.images.
    The image:
    back: Image {
                url: "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG",
                backgroundLoading:true
                placeholder:bind placeholder
            };works and the value of "{__DIR__}images/B.JPG" becomes
    <CARD backUrl="jar:file:/C:/Users/Bill/Documents/NetBeansProjects/DeckOfCards/dist/DeckOfCards.jar!/deckofcards/B.JPG">
      ...when I marshal. That string (backUrl) will unmarshal correctly and can be use in the url variable to display and image too.

  • How can i check the wifi speed on the ipad air?

    I just bought the iPad Air for my wife as an upgrade from the iPad 2. Now she is telling me that it is buffering (loading, lagging) her show's a lot more than before. Is there any way to check the wifi signal strength, speed, or settings?
    I have checked the wifi speed with 2 different lap tops and they are very close to each other.

    Love the app on my phone and run test all the time on my computers. Not a hater! But after the update the app does not run as smooth as it did before
    Anyway to see or check the settings on the iPad Air?
