Install an SSD in a Macbook - Installer un SSD dans un Macbook

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Ici, je ai demandé se il était possible d'installer un SSD (Samsung EVO 850) dans mon MacBook Pro mi-2012 et si la fonction compensateur a été prise en compte? Parce que je ai vu beaucoup de choses qui parle Kext Signature bloquant le mac au démarrage du système. Si ce est elle que je vais finir avec Windows Virtual PC os X pour le prix que vous payez, ou est le produit de la marque Apple!
Bonjour à tous et à Toute,

Si ce est sa je vais finir sous de Windows Avec Un Virtual PC de OS X verser le prix ous le paye ce est produit de la marque à la pomme!

It sounds as if you've all the bases covered.
Just two small things:
Make certain, after you've installed a bootable OS on your SSD, that you go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select the SSD. Many folks have missed this step and been less than pleasantly surprised when bootup is 45 seconds rather than the expected 15 seconds.
Use Time Machine wisely. Don't rely on monthly backups but rather daily or hourly (if you're close to your external). Since you'll have a USB 3.0 machine, be certain to get a good USB 3.0 external drive for Time Machine backups - maybe even two external drives if, like myself, you're paranoid about disk failure. When I'm at my desk, I have my Firewire 800 drives connected to my Apple Thunderbolt Display and backup to a 1TB FW drive and a 2TB FW drive. And I have hourly backups. Once a month just isn't good enough.
You'll need to download and keep a copy of "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" to make your USB flash drive stick. With this in your Applications folder, you can use Lion DiskMaker to make a USB flash drive using a 8GB+ USB stick. You can also make a bootable dual-layer DVD (but the USB drive will be faster).
As I said, it sounds as if you've everything in hand otherwise. Good luck with your new MBP and your SSD - I love the speed on mine and I'm sure that you will as well.

Macbook Pro with SSD (optibay) and HDD. Want to clean install with discs and move hard drives.

Hi all,
I have bought a used Macbook Pro 15' i5 Mid 2010 in brilliant condition. It came with original HDD in main Hard drive space and and SSD in an optibay. This all works fine and came with Mavericks already installed.
I want to start using the laptop like from new as there is nothing on there i currently need atm and dont want problems in the future with my apple id not being the original installer of mavericks. (had a similar problem previously on a used macbook white that had lion on)
What i want to do is erase and move the SSD to the main hard drive bay (have read this is preferred) and a clean install using install discs that came with it onto the SSD. Then install the HDD into the optibay or external enclosure and reinstall optical drive, not sure on that one yet.
My main questions are about the process i should use. There is nothing i need to back up or anything as this is effectively a new machine to me. Shall i simply erase the SSD (currently contains the OS) and install it in main hard drive bay and run install discs to install original OS (10.6.3)? Is it that simple? Any tips on erasing SSD would be useful also?
Also as the machine currently boots from the SSD that is in the optibay, is there anything that tells the machine to boot from that hard drive as apposed to the main HDD bay or does it just know? If there is, when i install the SSD into main hard drive bay how do i tell the machine i have done so and to boot from there?
The other thing i may do is buy a new SSD and do a new install on that and leave the current SSD in the optibay and use that for storage. Undecided on that yet.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Sam

To do what you want, and the only way to do what you want legally and physically, you will need a set of Original System Reinstall DVD Discs. Without them you can't do what you want as the install of Mavericks that is now on it is TIED to the previous owners Apple ID and can not be transferred and or Reinstalled without knowing that persons Apple ID. And even iof you knew it it would still be TIED to that Apple ID and not yours.
So did the previous owner supply the Original System Reinstall DVD disc Set? If not you will need to order them from Apple.

Macbook Pro 11' - SSD installation problems

I have bought a new crucial 256mb SSD after my Samsung 8400 256mb SSD failed twice.
I am now trying to install the SSD but my computer will not connect to the wifi in my building. I have tried a number of different networks and tested them with other devices which seems to be fine.
I am holding 'option' down when I turn the computer on which gives me network options to go through.
Any help really appreciated and if you'd like more information on the fault to help please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

floydy50,
if your 2011 MacBook Pro originally came with Lion installed (and no grey installation DVDs in the box), then according to this Apple page, you’ll need to have a wi-fi connection with either WPA or WPA2 security to be able to download Lion from Apple’s servers onto your new SSD. Have you confirmed that your building’s wi-fi has either WPA or WPA2 security?
If your 2011 MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard installed (and two grey installation DVDs in the box), then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard from its Mac OS X Install DVD, and run Software Update to get it to Mac OS X 10.6.8. If you had a newer version of OS X running on your previous SSD, you’ll then need to redownload that version of OS X from the Mac App Store and reïnstall it.
Have you tried booting from your old SSD externally? If it runs fine externally, but fails when run internally, then you might have a faulty internal SATA cable.

Macbook Pro with SSD 10.8 OS install CC desktop failed

System disk (256GB SSD) has 210GB before installation process started, 16GB system DIMM available, OS is v10.8. The process of updating Creative Cloud Desktop could not be finished, system prompted warning message of "insufficient memory for app installation" even SDD still has 140GB left.

Dear Kapil,
I still failed to install CC desktop successfully. Same failure encountered. It looks like the installation process could not be finished for some reason, the storage space in SSD was keeping consuming for more than 60GB. I would not believe CC desktop needs more than 60G storage for installation. I had already installed it on my Mac Pro without any problem. I tried to install it on my MBP as backup. My issue may also relate to my changing level of my subscription last week. I upgraded my subscription level from single app to full function last week by the help from Adobe Service staff. However, I still saw the older subscription was listed on my subscription list, even the service staff said he or she has already cancelled my single app subscription successfully. I started to get warning message of trial expiration soon today while I was using Photoshop CC. This did tell me my single app subscription has been cancelled. Why I still saw it in my subscription list? It is really confusing.

Kapil,
I had ever tried the process you suggested days ago by referring to closer issue reported in forum. However, I still encountered same failure after doing so. I will re-valid your suggestion after returning home tonight. I am afraid it related to SSD. Many thanks.

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.

I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive. What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

I recently added my old mac hard drive to a new macbook with an SSD as my main OSX drive. I am having trouble with permissions in viewing my old hard drive, when I save a permission when I reboot the full access is changed again . What is the best way to get complete access to my old hd installed in my new Macbook?

Open the Get Info window for the old drive. Click the Lock icon on the bottom of that window and type in your password. In the permissions area click the Plus sign ( + ) and Add your Username to it and set it to Read & Write. Close that window. you should now have full access to all the files.

Buy a MacBook pro with SSD or upgrade to SSD?

Hey guys! Hope you can help me out with this one!
I have just purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with i7 2.9 GHz processor, 8 GB ram and a 750 GB 5400 rpm HDD.
The simple reason that I bought it with a HDD and not a SSD is that I could not afford the SSD.
Now after searching the web I have come across a huge amount of videos and threads on various Apple forums talking about how easy it is to upgrade your MacBook Pro to have a SSD instead of a HDD. I have also researched the cost of such an upgrade and it seems incredibly cheap compared to buying a MBP with a SSD already installed.
How is this possible? To me it seems to good to be true that it is cheaper to upgrade your computer with a SSD than buying a computer with a SSD already installed?! Does such an upgrade come with a lot of downsides? Or is it really true that you can save yourself money by doing the upgrade yourself after purchasing the computer?
Thanks a lot!

Because Apple gouges its customers on any upgraded from Standard, Stock, configurations.
No real downsides except that you mi=ust Enable TRIM support yourself once you install an afermarket SSD. If Apple installs one, Branded as an Apple SSD, then TRIM is Auto Enabled, Go figure.
The next, and only other, downside is you will lose some storage capacity as a SSD of 750GBs, or even close to 750GBs, will cost you lots of money. So most people install 256GB models which in your case would drop the total internal drive capacity by 500GBs+/-.

Can I upgrade my macbook air's SSD?

I have heard that people have successfully upgraded their MacBook AIr's SSD to a larger capacity. I want to know if its true? If so, can I do it myself or I have to ask technician to help?
I currently have the MacBook Air 13'' 128 G SSD. I'm very satisfied with the blazing speed of SSD. However, I'm a music maker and a photographer. I realized I need more space for putting BIG SOFTWARES such as LOGIC PRO (with upgraded add-on total 50G), Aperture, etc... Apparently, the current 128G SSD cannot satisfy my need.
I DO NOT want to install the software onto my external hard drive because I cannot bring the external hard drive everywhere. So, if any of you can help, please leave opinions.
Thanks!

Upgrading a SSD is 99% of the time a bad idea, not only due to costs, but primarily because people do it for the WRONG reasons.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

Can't install a stable Windows 7 on my Snow Leopard mid-2009 Macbook Pro via Botcamp

I just erased the whole disk with Disk Utility and re-installed a fresh version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro with my original install disk and updated all the software.
I then created a 400GB partition via Bootcamp Assistant for Windows and successfully installed Vista.
I then successfully installed Windows 7 (not an upgrade) over Vista (I only have the official upgrade disk) and installed Bootcamp in Windows with the original OS X DVD.
I then upgraded Bootcamp from version 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.2 to 3.3 and then to 4.0.
None of these versions have resulted in a stable version of Windows 7 because the screen randomly turns one color (usually blue or white) with no cursor or interaction possible and I have to shut the computer down by holding the power button.
I've tried the whole process with 32 bit and 64 bit versions with the same results. The funny thing (not so funny, really) is that WIndows becomes increasingly unstable the higher I go with Bootcamp. I've even tried running the Vista to Windows 7 upgrade utility but Windows 7 is totally unusable. Once at Bootcamp 4 the system can't even get past the windows boot process.
I'm pulling my hair out here because I can't think of anything else to try. I'm suspecting the problem is driver related.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suggest you start over with the install of Windows. You can use an Upgrade version of Win 7 to do a Clean install.
Basically you have to Not put in the license key when asked and also uncheck the option to Auto Activate Windows when the system gets online, mThen once it is installed and you are at the desktop go to the System applet in Control panel and Select Activate Windows. Then put the license key in.
If for some reason that doesn't work then you do a second install of Windows7 over the top of the current install and that make the installer think you are Upgrading and the Activation will go through.
It is all covered over at the Windows 7 forum.

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

Installed windows 7 64 bit on my macbook .. but now got my macbook without audio. please help me!

You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

Can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid".

Hi, anyone know. can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid". any compatibility issues?

"In addition to TRIM, I just stumbled on this discussion. One of the posters is having some odd difficulties with that combination."
Yup and that's why I've avoided any 3rd party SSDs.
I only deal with:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
I've done 6 so far and no problems at all; formatting, installing nothing. Total no brainer. I did have a small formatting problem on my last one but I called them and solved the problem before the guy got on the phone. He immediately offered a return sticker (RMA) but I didn't need it and the MBP is running fine.

How do I fix an error message during the installation of Flash on a Macbook running Mavericks?

Hello Everyone,
I'm getting an error message when installing Flash on my Macbook running the most current version of Mavericks. It starts to install, then says "Could not complete installation" and the only option that I have to quit the installation. I have closed all other applications, so I'm at a loss as to what is causing this problem. Please assist.
Thanks!

Download the FULL offline installer here: Flash Player 12.0.0.70 (Mac OS X)
Save it (Download Linked File as) and Quit Safari.
Double click the saved file and "mount the DMG" on your desktop.
A window will open with the installer - DO NOT RUN the installer from here!
Right click it or Ctrl+click it and "Show Package Contents"
In Contents/Resources, double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg
A "COCOA" Installer will open.
Folow the instructions to install Flash Player from there.
Then eject the DMG and you're all done.

MacBook Pro with SSD and HD

I didn't find a section for Time Machine, but since I have MacBook Pro (early 2011), I posted this question in this section.
I had a MBP (early 2008) and removed the DVD drive, put HD in the place of DVD, and installed an SSD in the HD location. I reinstalled Mac OS 10.6.x on the SSD, formatted the HD and I changed my user home directory to be under the HD via "Advanced Options" under Users in system prefrences. so in other words, OS on SSD and user home folders under HD.
I took a weekly Time Machine backup on my WD external drive.
The MacBook Pro died and I replaced it with MBP (early 2011). I did the same, removed DVD drive, repalce it with the HD and installed SSD in the HD location. I installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 on SSD. Now comes the issue part.
When I use "Migration Asssistant" (MA) to restore my user profile, and when I choose to restore from Time Machine, MA shows me 2 drives on the backup which is SSD and HD as expected.
The issue here is when I choose HD and I try to restore Users profile, MA checks free space on SSD and not HD and since my profile is larger than the SSD free space, it doesn't allow me to restore.
I tried to fool MA by creating the user first, point the home folder to HD and then try to restore, but still MA keeps checking only SSD free space to restore.
then I logged in as 'root', deleted my profile, used MA to restore SSD. I only choose users and settings from the restore, but not applications. After reboot I checked the users and it did creat my user and pointed the user home folder to HD, now I used MA again to restore to HD, but still the same issue.
I was carefull to use same exact drive names and usernames so Time Machine won't be confused.
So any idea how to force MA to restore my profile on HD instead of SSD?

Install the SSD in an enclosure and connect it to the MBP via USB.
Open Disk Utility>Erase and format the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then select Disk Utility>Restore.
Drag the internal HDD to the Source field. Drag the SSD to the Destination field. Click on the Restore button.
This may take a few hours depending upon how much data has to be transferred.
When complete, Boot the MBP with the OPTION key.
Select the SSD and if it boots the MBP, swap the two drives.
Ciao.
