Install yosemite on blank ssd

Hello,
I recently was trying out swapping my HDD to and SSD in my late 2008 unibody MBP.  I don't have the HDD anymore and have a new SSD coming.  My question is, can I initialize the SSD on my windows computer, then use a USB drive to install Yosemite.  All the guides I've looked at seem to say that you need a previous install of osX which doesn't make sense to me.

I have been thinking of getting a new battery since I have to use the power adapter all the time.  If I brought in the SSD and the laptop would they be able to format it at the store?  That way I could also buy a new battery.   
If you're asking about an Apple Store, yes, they could format the drive for you.

  • I am installing an SSD in the Optical Dirve of my MacBook Pro 2012 and was wondering how to change the start up disk to the new SSD instead of the HDD and when i do it will it install Yosemite on the SSD?

    Im planning on taking out the optical drive on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro and putting in an SSD instead so i can boot OS X and my applications from it. Im just wondering how do i get it to boot the OS from the new drive, also will it install Yosemite on the SSD and will any of my data on the HDD be deleted?

    thank you so much,

    SSD is brand new..out of the box never use it before... is working totally fine on my external enclosure.
    Great. Then problems with the SDD itself are far less likely.
    Yosemite installs fine and I can run normally.
    Good. then your Yosemite Installer is not damaged, and your SSD is probably good.
    As soon as I put it into the internal the Yosemite install just never finishes, time keeps restarting.
    I can see the SSD i can copy files but I can't install Yosemite.  what do think I can do??
    Then there is a problem with that setup. If you have installed onto it as an external, it is unlikely to be a Drive format problem. But to give yourself the best possible outcomes, use Disk Utility to erase the SSD before the Install.
    Be methodical. Use a process of elimination. What can you trust, and what are you not sure of?
    It still could be a marginal Drive cable. ifixit and other sellers can sell you a new cable for very little money.

  • Clean Install Yosemite onto new SSD (Also, what is TRIM?)

    Hi,
    I've been researching how to replace the Hard Drive on my Late 2011 13inch Macbook Pro (MacBookPro8,1 / 2.4 GHz / Intel Core i5 / SATA III) with a new SSD (maybe a Samsung 840 EVO) and clean install Yosemite onto it. I've found a few ways to do this on the support forums and the macrumors forum, but I want to confirm if I can do it this way:
    1. Plug new SSD into the Macbook via a USB cable
    2. Download Yosemite onto current Macbook Hard Drive. When I'm prompted to install, chose the new SSD from the list. Complete Installation.
    3. Remove old Hard Drive from Macbook and plug new SSD in it's place (and not in the optical bay).
    Would this work? I have another external hard drive with all of my documents, pictures and music on which I'm just going to manually remove over, and have no problem doing. I can also download the iLife programs directly from the App Store so I wouldn't be missing out on those either (I do have the iLife '09 discs too). I've also read about creating a bootable USB using DiskMaker X, but I feel the route I outlined would be easier.
    Am I missing anything? I do have the EFI Firmware v2.7, so the problems the 2011 MacBooks were having with SATA shouldn't be an issue during this. Also, during my research, I found a references to something called TRIM. Can someone explain TRIM to me?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thanks for the response and confirming I can clean install Yosemite onto a new SSD using the process I listed in my initial post.
    I have a 13'' MacBook Pro with Yosemite already installed onto it so my graphics card should be set. After almost a month of using it, I haven't noticed any issues on that end.
    I guess this TRIM thing is a totally separate subject from this thread. I read Apple is no longer supporting third-party SSD for TRIM support. If you turn it on, but keep a security feature on, you risk your computer not booting correctly. It looks like the only way to have TRIM enabled on a SSD using Yosemite is to have an Apple supplied SSD, or an SSD that can trick Yosemite into thinking it's Apple supplied (like the Angelbird Wrk for Mac SSD).
    I've also done a good amount of research that TRIM is only necessary if you're saving a lot of items to the hard drive in one sitting (like photoshop). I primarily use my Mac for Pages (which saves my documents into the cloud now), iTunes and Safari. I guess this would fit me into the "casual user' criteria? I've also read that if you don't use TRIM, your SSD uses "Garbage Collection" (which actually sounds terrible) to keep the SSD informed on what data can be overwritten since it's been deleted by the user. I read that most modern SSD hard drives have a pretty decent Garbage Collection function, so if you leave your computer idle, keep "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" unchecked, the SSD will run Garbage Collection on it's own and that should be sufficient enough to keep the SSD in good working order.

  • Installing Yosemite from USB to a new (unformatted) USB?

    Hey everyone!
    Just ordered a new SSD to try and breathe some life back into my wife's Late 2008 Macbook. As she was planning on doing a clean install anyway, I didn't bother picking up cloning equipment and just planned to install Yosemite direct from a USB. Unfortunately I hadn't thought about how I would actually format the SSD to Mac OS Extended so I'm wondering if it's possible to do that from the USB installer or if there is something like gParted for Mac that will allow me to format the drive from a USB environment. Or do I just need to go out and pick up housing for the SSD and format it as an external drive?

    I think it's possible to install Yosemite on internal SSD from USB installer.

  • I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted!

    I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted and I can't use my computer!!

    I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I do I install Mountain Lion on a new, blank SSD?

    I've ordered a SSD for my MacBook Pro.  I don't want to copy my hard drive to the new drive.  How do I install a new system on a blank SSD when you need to have at least some type of system runnning to run an update or install from the App store?  Thanks!

    Well, first you're going to have to format the drive. I would suggest buying an inexpensive USB enclosure for your old hard drive (OWC has tons of them - and I have three that I purchased from OWC). Then install your SSD into your hard drive bay and put your old hard drive into the enclosure and boot from your old drive. Then you can format your SSD using Disk Utility from your old drive.
    Now as to installing ML on that new SSD. Since you'gve already purchased it, you can download it to your old HD before you even begin switching out drives. After it downloads, it will try to install. Quit the installation and you'll have a file named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder. You can use this app to install ML on your new SSD.
    Pretty simple, really - sorry of I make it seem complicated. I'm assuming that you're going to start 'clean' on this SSD and not clone your old HD to your SSD? You can do that, if you like... see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Can I switch out a hard drive for an SSD without having to clone the existing hard drive, and then install Yosemite from an USB Boot Drive onto the new SSD?

    Can I simply replace a hard drive with a new SSD and just install Yosemite from a USB boot drive onto the SSD? I recently bought a used MBP and it has absolutely no files on it except for the OS, and so I'm assuming I don't need to clone the current hard drive as I can just reinstall the OS onto the new SSD.

    Thanks.
    Just a quick follow up question, is formatting the SSD with HFS+ done in Disk Utility?...
    It's possible that the SSD will be set up for use on a PC, which means it will have a Master Boot Record partition table rather than a GUID Partition Table, which is what Yosemite needs. In Disk Utility, select the SSD and click the Partition button. Create a new Partition Layout and click the Options... button at the bottom. You'll likely see MBR is selected. Choose GUID instead and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the Format.

  • Can't clean install Yosemite to 3rd party SSD in 2008 MBP

    Hi all.
    I'm a longtime lurker, first time poster. I seem to have really stymied myself with trying to upgrade my ol' reliable MBP.
    My machine:
    Late 2008 15" MacBook Pro
    2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo
    4GB RAM (3rd party Crucial, 2 matching 2GB sticks - it originally shipped with 2 1GB sticks, I upgraded it around 2 years ago)
    120GB SSD (3rd party OCZ Agility III, it originally shipped with a 500GB Hitachi HDD - I've just installed this and am trying to use it)
    No optical drive (it broke years ago)
    Here is what I've done so far:
    Removed the 500GB HDD and inserted the 120GB SSD
    Created a bootable USB stick with the Yosemite installer on it
    Booted from said USB stick and used Disk Utility to format the SSD with a GUID partition table, with 1 HFS+ (Journaled) formatted partition
    Begun the Yosemite installer
    The progress bar crawled for about 3 hours until it got about halfway, then it failed out with an error. Unfortunately I stupidly don't have a copy of the error logs
    Booted from the USB stick again
    Now the SSD does not show up at all in Disk Utility and I am not given the option of it when attempting to install Yosemite - so I can't reformat the drive or attempt another install
    I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test (to see if there are any problems with the RAM that might have triggered the error installing Yosemite), but unfortunately this does not seem possible on my machine. Since it is a late 2008 model with no optical drive, from the research I've done there seems to be no way I can run it. It can't do an Internet Hardware Test, and the 'trick' of holding F2 during bootup won't work because apparently you need to have the original shipping OS installed. From memory this machine shipped with Leopard - the OS on my old 500GB HDD is Snow Leopard however.
    Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do next here? My goal is simply to do a clean install of Yosemite onto my SSD. I'm at a bit of a loss, especially since the SSD isn't even showing up in Disk Utility now.
    An additional detail: There isn't anything in the slot where the optical drive should be. 2 years ago I opened my machine and removed it, replacing it with a 2.5" 'optibay' drive caddy. Unfortunately it was a pretty cheap caddy and it never functioned properly, so I removed it before beginning the above process. There is just an empty space now inside the machine, since I threw away my old broken optical drive years ago. I don't know if this may also be causing problems.
    Many thanks for any and all assistance!

    Thanks for responding Leopardus.
    I tried holding Cmd+R at startup last night, but unfortunately all I got is a flashing folder with a question mark on it, presumably indicating that it can't find any files.
    Internet Recovery is unfortunately not possible on my computer, I believe this feature was only included with Macs that shipped with Lion or later versions of OS X (mine shipped with Leopard).
    The problem in the thread that you linked seems a bit different to mine - I think the core issue for me is that the SSD is now not recognised at all by Disk Utility, meaning I cannot even format it to try installing again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can access this 'invisible' SSD? I am considering buying a USB to SATA cable and connecting it to a friend's Mac.

  • Unable to install Yosemite using SSD in Optical Bay Caddy

    Thanks for any help in advance. I recently purchased this item from Amazon:
    HDD/SSD SATA III caddy for Apple MacBook (Pro) replaces SuperDrive + slot-in USB enclosure for SuperDrive - 9.5 mm (SATA - SATA) - TheNatural2020: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
    I'm having big problems using it to install an SSD in my Macbook Pro Late 2011. When I put an SSD into the caddy (Samsung EVO 120GB SSD) I am unable to install OS X Yosemite onto the SSD. The installation fails instantly stating 'File system verify and repair failed'. I can format the hard drive using Disk Utility and that seems to work fine, but go back to installing Yosemite from USB and it fails again.
    The SSD is fine as when I install it in the regular HDD bay I can install Yosemite just fine (that's how I'm typing just now). If I transfer the SSD back to the caddy, it won't boot from it again (showing a flashing folder with a question mark on it).
    If I keep the SSD in the hard drive bay and put another HD in the caddy, the other HD is visible in OSX but almost unusably slow.
    This leads me to think there's a problem with the caddy, so I ordered a second one from Amazon, but this gives the same problem! Now I'm stuck - neither caddy works properly with SSD or HD, corrupting the data on it somehow. Any suggestions would be very helpful!

    SimonStokes wrote:
    is it possible that it's the cable between the caddy and the motherboard that's the problem?
    Yes.  I have seen that SSDs in the 'normal' boot drive location have problems when the SATA cable is not shielded.  Swapping back the original HDD makes the MBP functional.
    I am guessing that you may be experiencing the same phenomenon.  Wrap the cable in tin foil and see if that makes a difference.
    Ciao.

    I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
    Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
    Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
    I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

  • Finder is freezing after installing Yosemite. Having to relaunch every other day.

    After installing Yosemite, I went to finder and noticed that the text was blacked out and it was frozen ( not allowing me to go anywhere in the finder). After relaunching the finder it started working fine. But since then I am having to relaunch the finder every day or every other day. Is there a fix for this or no? Just wondering as its beginning to be an issue. Haven't had this issue before and I'm on a mid 2013 Macbook Pro Retina.

    Hi
    I have a Late 2013 retina MacBook Pro, and i've the same issue than you... I don't really know from where it comes from...
    Do you have a third party software to browse external device in NTFS format such an external hard drive?
    I have a path to explore since i noticed this bug the first time i tried to browse my external hdd.
    Here is a screenshot of the bug :
    Or when i browse local ssd (where Yosemite is installed) i got a blank folder...
    I got graphic glitches when entering Time Machine for exemple.
    I'm using the last version of Tuxera NTFS (trial version) supporting Yosemite...
    I've no problem so far with Mavericks which is working flawlessly...
    My install of Yosemite is a clean install without any third party software/drivers, the problem is here with or without Tuxera NTFS installed. I did two clean install in the passt two days.
    Many thanks if Apple could do something for this bug.
    I did an Apple Diagnostic and there is no mistake with the hardware according to the result.

  • How do I install Yosemite on a 2nd HDD I have added and have the Mac Pro boot from the new HDD?

    My MacPro's HD seems to be failing. None of the tests I run indicate that, but I get constant spinning balls and everything takes a long time. I bought a 2nd HDD and installed it in the 2nd bayou my Early 2009 Mac Pro. I formatted it and want to install Yosemite and have the Mac boot off the new drive. It is currently running OS X 10.9.5. When I go to update to Yosemite it begins to download. Will it give me the option of which drive to install on? Or will it just upgrade the original Mac's HD?
