How to upgrade Sata Hdd to SSD on Mac Book Pro 13"?
I have a Mac book Pro 13" and I want to upgrade my Harddrive to SSD. Also want to know how to do cloning, so that no data loss will be there.
Regards
Sid J
what you do is first put the the SSD in an external enclosure and hook it up to your mac. Then, open disc utility in your utilities folder. Erase the new SSD and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then, run the cloning program and it will make a mirror image of the HDD currently inside your mac to the new SSD in the external enclosure. Then, remove the SSD from the external enclosure and put in it your mac. All done! . If you are unfamiliar with an external enclosure, they are very inexpensive..here is one I own: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817106115. Any further questions you my have either now or during the process, don't hesitate to ask, I have done this process a handful of times and it is very easy even for the non-techie.

I am trying to upgrad the hard drive in my mac book pro using the disk utility in an attempt to clone my old hard drive. I can only get so far throughj the process where its about to start cloing when I get a message " error 254". Any idea what that means and how do I get around this issue so I can use my new hard drive? Thanks for your input.
VinceConnect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

How do I install my old my 2010 Mac book pro/ Snow Leopard 10.6.3 program on a power Mac G5 Desktop
A PowerPC G4 or G5 can't be upgraded past 10.5.8. If you're trying to install an application and not a newer Mac OS X version, check its system requirements and use the original disk or download.

Photoshop 5.1 does not open up after upgrading to Yosemite on a 2009 mac book pro
Adobe Photoshop 5.1 does not work after installing upgrade Yosemite. I have a mac book Pro - 2009
Have seen CS3 (I have) mentioned as working with Maverick/Yosemite
Current Photoshop is creative cloud - you do not have to purchase all elements - instead of lump sum, Adobe charges a monthly license fee - the software resides on your mac - and the mac has to check in once a month to keep the license going - updates are part of the deal.
CS6 apparently is still available if you want to pay the lump sum for an upgrade. -

How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro?
How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro? I inadvertently trashed and then deleted a file from my computer. Is there any way to retrieve it?
Only be using data rescue software - and there's always the chance that the file has already been overwritten.
I've used Data Rescue 3 to succesfully retrieve files that I've trashed. It's an $100 gamble, tough, and there's no assurance that you'll be able to retriebve the file.

How do i transfer the images from my mac book pro to my tv
I have all the cords HDMI and adapter how do i transfer the image from my mac book pro version 10.6.8
What do you mean transfer? You can't copy files with an hdmi cable. If you mean display them on your tv, that's another story.
When the hdmi cable is connect you should see your tv and macbook flash blue. After this your tv is setup as an extra screen. Move anything you want to the right on your macbook screen and they will appear on the tv. -
