Installing an SSD error repartition
Hi,
I got an error while installing an SSD on my mid 2009. it says:
To install on this disk, open Disk utility by choosing utilities>disk utility>and repartition this disk using "GUID Partition Table".
I went to disk utility but I cannot see the option partition.
Make sure that you have the DISK and not the "named" disk selected in the sidebar:

I recently bought a MacBook Pro. I had a windows 8 pc that had hardware issues that didn't deal with the harddrive. When I got the mbp, I installed the SSD from my windows 8 pc into the macbook. Before doing this, I made a time machine backup on my external hard drive. When I booted up the macbook pro with the windows 8 SSD in it, windows 8 started up. I tried formating the harddrive from within windows but it wouldn't work. From there, I put a spare windows 7 ultimate disk into the macbook and formatted the hard drive using that. Now, bootmgr is missing error keeps coming up and I can't put my time maching backup onto the macbook. Quick replies are appreciated, thanks!
You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size. -
Acrobat v10x CS6 Installation: "Some items could not be installed and then Error 1301
Brand new MacBook Pro Retina 16GB, 512SSD, Mountain Lion.
I successfully installed all apps in CS6 Web and Design Premium EXCEPT... I had a warning on Acrobat install: "Some items could not be installed properly".
However, Acrobat 10.0.0 launches and runs fine. Then, I try to move on and upgrade to 10.1.4 (or even 10.0.1) and no matter whether I uninstall and reinstall, repair disk permissions, talk to Adobe support for four times now and let them try everything, I'm still getting Error 1301 "The update could not be applied because Adobe Acrobat application contents were modified since the original installation. I had them send me a hard copy of the CS6 Suite and reinstalled the entire suite. Again, ALL other apps run and upgrade perfectly EXCEPT Acrobat.
Now, support tells me to use the "Run Repair Acrobat Installation to replace missing files." from this advisory and call them back later (file:///Users/mbp/Desktop/extras/maccomputers/Errors%20and%20freezes%20%7C%20Adobe%20Rea der%20%7C%20Mac%20OS.webarchive).
Here's the latest hitch: There is no such: "Repair Acrobat Installation". I'm thinking they think there is and there isn't.
Also, in details this:

Any wisdom out there which is not in the "experimental" arena would be appreciated.Hi,
Thanks for the advice. Tried this and does not work. Exact same results. I really wonder if I am the only person with a MacBook Pro Retina with an 512GB SSD running Mountain Lion that has tried to install Acrobat 10.0.0. I think there is some conflict with Mac OS 10.8.2 that is hostile to the installation sequence Adobe created for Acrobat. I fear Adobe would rather I upgrade to Acrobat X1 than spend their time patching this.

How Do I Install an SSD Into My 15" Macbook Pro?
I have recently purchased a Crucial m4 2.5" SSD for my 15", mid-2010 Macbook Pro. However, I rarely do any major hardware upgrades to any electronics of mine, so I'm really out of my element here. From what I've heard and researched through online forums, physically installing the SSD shouldn't be that bad (just look out for the static electricity, apparently). The rough bit looks to be transferring my operating system, OS X Lion, along with my various documents and files. Now, my purchase came with a data transfer kit, but I don't know how to use it; like I said, really out of my element. How do I move my operating system and files into the SSD properly, without accidentally losing everything? I know Time-Machine is involved somehow, but what exactly do I do? Any answer would be very appreciated, the more detailed and step-by-step oriented the better.
P.S.: I don't intend to keep my original HDD at all, so I'm not going to be doing any tinkering with the optical-drive/super-drive (I don't really know what such things do, so I want to keep screwing around with my Mac's innards to a minimum).If you got the data transfer cable with your SSD, the procedure should be pretty simple - and there should be step-by-step instructions in the box. You're simply going to remove the bottom case of your computer (using a Phillips #00 screwdriver), take out the two screws in the bracket holding the hard drive into place (using same screwdriver), remove the drive and (use a Torx 6 screwdriver) remove the four screws that hold the hard drive in place. Then put in the SSD and reassemble the machine.
Then you'll plug up the old hard drive by using the SATA to USB cable and use the option key to boot from the old drive. I don't know what data transfer software Crucial provides, but I would recommend formatting the SSD using Disk Utility from your old drive ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to your new SSD (see this user tip for cloning - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122). You needn't worry about getting an enclosure since you have the data transfer cable and you don't want to use your old hard drive.
There are a number of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through this procedure - many specific to Crucial SSDs and their data transfer kit - do a little searching there if you're unsure of how to procede.

How to install an SSD on my macbook pro
Hello.
After many months of indecision I finally made up my mind to experiments the delights of SSD.
I bought an OCZ Vertex 2E 120gb 2.5 sata II, and I am waiting for it to arrive.
In the meantime, in spite of an almost endless googling I could not find a definitive answer to this question:
After you physically install the SSD, and booting from Snow Leo DVD, what should I do to prime the drive? For HDD it is good practice to zero out data, but what about SSDs? Should I zero out data or is it better to perform a fast format? Some sites say zeroing out data can ruin the SSD or that it is counterproductive because of Mac OS x absence of TRIM support (i.e. by zeroing out data I would basically fill the drive, something that I should not really be looking forward to with an SSD).
Could someone please help on this?
Also, final question: should I upgrade the SSD firmware to the latest version before installing or not?
Many thanks for your answers!
BTW: I have a late 2008 2.4GHZ unibody macbook pro 15.4 inches with 4gb of RAM and I am planning to install Snow Leo 10.6.1 and update it straightaway to 10.6.4.I would recommend that you do a carbon copy clone from your old drive to the SSD by an external hard drive mounter.
It is very simple to physically change. The only things you'll need from the old drive are the 4 pins that help mount the drive. Once the pins are taken off by unscrewing (I just used a pair of needle nose pliers) and place on the SSD you'll just mount the new drive in place of the old HD.
Once everything is back in order (replace back covers) reboot and goto System Preferences and choose Startup DIsk icon, if you don't do this your SSD will boot very slowly just like the first time you powered up the SSD. Once SSD is chosen as the startup disk it will boot fast. Enjoy
This is what I use for firewire external drive mounting

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?

Is there a way to install an SSD hard drive on a 2011 iMac without voiding the warranty?
I purchased an iMac last October and my line of work demands extensive use of After Effects and Final Cut Pro. My iMac is fitted with the standard 1TB SATA hard drive, and lately I considered installing an SSD drive as I have been experiencing lags. In all my naivete I asked Apple Store/Service outlet where I originally bought my iMac, but they turned me down, claiming that "they are not allowed to order the extra parts and if they do proceed then my warranty will be void". Which means that about 2 years of AppleCare will go out of the window. I can always do it myself, but at the risk of damaging my iMac and facing a null warranty on top of it. I am still reeling in disbelief, is it really the case that Apple prohibits its customers from legitimately upgrading their computer at their own stores? What kind of nonsense is this? It's an iMac we're talking about, not an iPhone. It is unreasonable, unprofessional, and I need an explanation!
Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
I use my system for business and need it to work reliably. Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase. -
My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks
If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

Premiere elements 11 failed to install with the error about shared technologies
PRE 11 failed to install with the error "The installation process has encountered an error while installing shared technologies. Please restart your system and try again" all that does is uninstall everything and I have to restart agin with the same error and we go on. So far the only way it is working is at the point of the "error message" I run task manager and stop the installer, I know it's leaving files that should be removed by the installer, but it worked. This information was gained on one of the forums and seems to work. Yesterday was the first time I really used it fully and although I was able to create a project I cannot output it as a file (mpg), it starts to output ok then throws up an error and fails. As PRE 10 was still installed I imported the project (which amazed me) into PRE 10 and outputted as required with no error. All this may be due to something being wrongly installed or not being installed in PRE 11, I don't know. Can anybody help

What is the best way to install a SSD?
I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I'd like a confirmation as of Mavericks. I have a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD I'd like to install in my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. I also have the HD Caddy to install my existing 750GB into the Superdrive bay. I really don't want to have to reinstall the OS and all my applications. If I do a Time Machine backup to a hard drive that I have, and then install the SSD and 750 GB hard drives what will happen when I hit the power button? How do I get to the external hard drive to recover from Time Machine?
I know there are cloning methods that use enclosures, but I don't have this, while I do have a hard drive I have 1 TB of space left on so I can do a full Time Machine back up.
Thanks in advance,Ok Ive done everything above and am now back on the laptop. A few questions. First of all, how do I know what drive its booted to? I have the Apple HD installed in the Superdrive slot, and the new SSD where the original drive was (I cloned it like you mentioned above before doing so) When I hit the power button it hesitated slightly at first but I kept holding the button and it turned on. Once it booted into OSX it was pretty slow at first. Is this normal? I have to assume its indexing, etc. Am I free to format the old Apple HD now? Is there a way besides taking the Apple HD out to know what it booted to?
Also when I turned the computer on, I thought the SSD would boot much quicker, but it seems about the same. Is this right or is the computer still booting from the Apple HD in the superdrive slot?
Thanks so much for your help!
