If I change my harddrive to SSD will timemachine be enough to back everything up?

I have a mid 2012 mac pro non-ratina wanting to change the harddrive to a Solid State drive. Now, the parts, i can change, but i dont know much about the software, would time machine be enough to back the the software up? if not, how do I clone the drives?
Thank you in advance

How do you back up now? Time Machine can backup any number of drives as long as you have a large enough hard drive, so I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question.
Backing up and cloning are two different things done for different reasons, but involving similar operations.
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
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.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
This type of clone is bootable.

Is it possible to change the harddrive to SSD

on a Mac Pro (8-core Xeon 5400 Series) 2nd Gen. Early 2008?
Thanks

Yes. Visit OWC for SSDs. They may even have a sled for installing the SSD into one of the bays.

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

I want to change my HDD to SSD for macbook pro 15 2010 need some help

i want to change my HDD to SSD what will work with my macbook pro 2.66GHz (15-inch Unibody w/Intel Core i7) - April 2010 and do it will make my macbook pro low timp and do my macbook pro will be more faster ?

Personally I am not a fan of SSDs because they are not cost effective for my personal requirements. However I do recognize that the days of the disk are numbered, but I suspect that day is still a few years off.
Crucial is a fine company and is one of the two I personally recommend for RAM (OWC being the other) so I suspect that would be a good choice to make. They are a consumer responsive company. Indeed the Amazon price is attractive but before you commit yourself, see if you can find test information and reviews on this product.
I personally cannot give you first hand information on SSDs because I have none of my own. But perhaps some one will read this post and chime in.
Ciao.

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100?

Can I change hard disk with SSD drive in Toshiba NB100 ?
The Hard disc in this model is same size as SSD 2.5" drive?

Hi
As mentioned above: the SATA controller is supported so you will need to use a SATA SSD drive usually it should not be a big problem to upgrade the notebook with an SSD drive in some cases it could be possible that the SSD firmware needs to be updated but this depends on the SSD drive manufacturer
However, the SSD drive is much faster than a common HDD. Therefore you should notice a faster performance

Please do not post the entire messages log as it takes up unnecessarily a lot of space. It seems that there is a corrupt/nonfunctional file called

Go to your hard drive, enter library, go into users, and go into launch agents and delete the thing above. Empty the trash and restart.

You won't lose anything, however all purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them originally so future updates of your existing apps will still require the password for your old ID (whether you are still using it for purchasing or not.

How to properly install updates with kernel changes on MBP w/ SSD

I downloaded and installed Yosemite security update 2015 003, and on reboot it would have a progress bar of the updating which would not complete and would show the prohibited sign (circle with a line through it).
I tried the following:
I held the power button to shut it down and perform a hard restart, the problem would not go away.
Tried clearing the PRAM, but since it was in the middle of the update reboot, it was busy and would not properly clear the PRAM. No chimes.
I tried holding option to select the boot drive manually, but that did not work either. I could not even get to the boot drive selection screen. Just the continued seeing prohibited sign.
I was able to plug in my external hard drive and boot from that after multiple tries to use Disk Utility to restore my backup partition onto the internal SSD. Luckily, I frequently backup, so I didn't lose any data by being forced to wipe my SSD and restore my backup.
This is on a 13" MBP 7,1 (Mid 2010) with an aftermarket Intel SSD and 8GB of aftermarket RAM. Had TRIM enabler installed and on when downloading and installing the update. Is that the cause? After researching this and coming up with no solution, I discovered this security update seems to change the kernel. Is this kernel change conflicting with TRIM enabler? What causes this hanging problem when attempting to update? I have done multiple "Computer must restart to install changes" updates on this SSD in the past without this problem happening.

I don't know enough to explain it. I've read that you need to disable TRIM before upgrading to Yosemite. And disable it before doing updates. Updating may not always cause problems, but you never know till it happens. Enabling TRIM disables Apple's security measures built in and this may be why a Security Update affected it.
Here is one article on TRIM with Yosemite:

My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

Going on what other people have posted your purchases will disappear off the Purchased links for redownloading (they won't be removed from your iTunes library or iOS devices), but as long as you have all your downloads on your backup of your library then that shouldn't be a problem - you won't be able to redownload anything from the Australian store unless you return to Australia anyway.

I want to be able to fill out the form and it place itself into Sheet 1 without changing everytime. I can index the array from the form, but it changes everytime.

You think it would be the other way around.
Just speculation, but forms probably came to iOS first because of likely use for data entry in the field that syncs back to the Mac. On a small screen with a touch interface, forms make inputing values easier.
On the Mac, with its bigger screen, typing directly into a data table often works well enough.

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.

When I load itunes it defaults to the store and then I get a Blue Screen. Does anyone know how to change itunes so that it will default to My Music rather than store. I need to be able to do this before I load itunes.

I solved the problem with the assistance of apple support knowledgebase. Refer to TS3441.
