MacBook duo 2 knocking of harddrive (HDD)

In two days after purchase MacBook, the hard disk has started to knock.
Knocks - two impacts and without knock on 10 seconds , then repeated.
At viewing web, mail or is simple on Finder a folder to search, during the moment of knock the computer is frozen for 2 seconds . Then starts to work for 10 seconds.
In a week it could not be booted. At booting from CD does not see about existence HDD. In 2 hours has seen, has formatted and again was gone. SMART showed - checked up.
Has changed on new MacBook. HDD worked normally 4 - 5 days.
Precisely also has started to knock.
Has checked up on badblocks - all ок, all checks by different utilities speak about that that all right, nothing finds. At capture of video does dropframe during the moment of knock, at viewing video - a pause. I shall go to service, but such **** from Apple did not expect.
What is this?

  • Trying to backup my MacBook Pro onto my External Harddrive, error

    I am trying to backup my Macbook Pro onto my External harddrive (the same one I always do), and for some reason all of the sudden I get the error message that says that the backup disk is not available. When I click on the time machine icon at the top it just says that the latest back up is just delayed. What should I do?

    Your query strongly suggests that you are using thiis particular HHD for Time Machine backups.  It seems that your MBP simply is not recognizing the HDD.
    When connected it should appear on you desktop.
    If it does not, I would connect another HDD to determine if there is an issue with the Time Machine drive.  If another drive is recognized then use the same USB cord with the Time Machine drive.  If still no success, make an appointment with the Apple Store Genius bar and bring the drive along with your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • So I'm thinking about buying a Macbook pro with 512 gb harddrive and 8gb of ram. But I don't know whether to get a 2.4 ghz or 2.7 ghz processor? I mainly use my computer for a lot of music, internet, and other teenage things

    2.4ghz is plenty of processing, if it means you'll save money over the 2.7ghz. I'd have suggested 2.7 if you also do heavy video editing/rendering using FCP, etc... but the spec you have is plenty

  • Macbook pro unibody doesn't recognize hdd, is it cable or motherboard?

    Hi,
    A few weeks ago I replaced my hdd in my macbook pro 13inch med 2010 with a ssd. Some weeks after I did it, my macbook didn't boot up anymore, it showed a flashing folder. I put my old hdd in and it still doesn't boot up. I use my macbook now by booting from a external harddrive through usb.
    However this makes the laptop much slower so I want to fix the problem. My problem is: how do I know if it's the cable from hdd to motherboard is broken or the connector on the motherboard itself is broken?
    Hope someone can help me out,

    Aahh, so DiskUtility does not see the HDD that is inside at all? That means trouble: either the HDD inside is dead, but probably the cable inside is not connected correctly or is damaged (or you forgot to connect a cable).
    I suppose that you wanted to change the HDD with the SSD, and that you have cloned the HDD to the SSD (while externally), then after a while the MBP did not start tanymore form the internal (SSD) and you switched them again, and it still does not start from the internal (HDD), but it will from the external (SSD).  The MBP starts from the SSD (outside), so that is OK, but the HDD inside is not recognised anymore.
    -hanging question: What OS do you run (you have 10.0.x indicated)?-
    I deduct that it is either a loose connection or a damaged connector inside.
    To be sure you could switch them again and see if the MBP starts from the outside HDD (if not, and it starts from the inside SSD, the HDD is wrong), but I guess that then the MBP will not switch from the inside disk either.

  • Macbook Pro slow wake up time, HDD + SSD

    A couple of months ago i upgraded my 2012 MacBook Pro (non retina) with an 500GB Samsung 840EVO SSD. Boot times were blazing fast as well as wake up time from sleep. After I installed the original HDD in the super drive bay as second storage, the wake up time from sleep was significantly slower. I think this has to do with the fact that HDD needs to spin up etc. etc.
    My question is if Is there a way to turn it completely off? because I only store movies and games for bootcamp on it. Is there a way to tell the harddrive to always be off unless I need it?

    I have not installed Yosemite (I like to wait for others to flush the bugs out - LOL).
    Once I'm actually logged in, the rainbow wheel spends most of the time spinning waiting for each individual app to respond. Typing is slow, clicking is slow, the computer screen freezes more times than not. It's only after about 15 minutes of actual use that it begins to run like it should.
    Yesterday morning, I had similar problems, except I was already logged in.  I was using Safari and just trying to highlight text took forever. Every click I made dragged. If I typed a 5 letter word I had to wait for them to appear. I shut it down and came back in and kept looking at the spinning wheel and had slowness.  This morning I tried again. and it continued.  But, Chrome is working normal.  So, at least for me, I get a normal response and no spinning wheel as long as I'm not using Safari.

  • MacBook can't see my new HDD

    Hello,
    I'm having some trouble with my HDD replacement.
    I used to have a Samsung 250GB (5400rpm, M5S2), it worked perfectly until he decided to die. I choose to replace it with a similar drive : Samsung 250GB (7200rpm, MP2). BUT, the drive utility and the macos installer don't see it when he is plugged inside the macbook.
    I tried in a USB case, it works perfectly : I was able to see it and create partitions.
    Then I plugged it back inside, but same problem, my laptop don't see the whole drive
    Does anyone have seen this problem before ?
    Note : The drive is active when plugged inside, I can feel his plates spinning.
    Note 2 : sorry for my Poor english

    Don't know how, don't know why but :
    I tried my dad's HDD in the MacBook (Same model : Samsung 250Gb, MP2, 7200rpm), it worked.
    And we tried my HDD in my dad's laptop, and it worked too ... so we switched our drives.
    I'm really lost here, we bougth our same drives together, one works on both laptop, and the other one only works on my dad's laptop !
    Thank you everyone.

  • My macbook slows down after using external HDD

    When I use an external drive via usb, my computer really slows down giving me no choice except reboot.
    I watched memory usage with activity monitor. Free memory decreases  by time and inactive memory increases with the same amount and others  don't change much. If I continue using -esp. reading-, free memory comes  below to 100MB and then increases a bit -I think it starts paging  =other applications' memories= to system disk-, then continues to  decrease. Closing the application -that use the external- do not relese  memory from inactive to free but ejecting the external does. After  unplugging and trying to use the other applications, I face very  sluggish performance so that rebooting becomes a better-fast choice.  Both NTFS and FAT partitions produce the same result and I don't have  any other partition.
    If I try to re-read the same file after the external drive stops  spinning (sleeps), it does not start spinning but trying to read another  file makes it start spining. This makes me think about some -overdone-  caching problem, but don't know what causes it and how to turn it off  (Tuxero's caching is already disabled in the preferences, although I  think it is only for writing only).
    I made some research and found nothing specific; they tell to  reinstall the os or format the drive -to HFS+ -. What is causing this?
    Note: All of my drives are in Spotlight's exclusion (privacy) list and using another usb slot did not change a thing.

  • 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.

  • Transfer data to new macbook pro via timemachine external harddrive?

    My old macbook pro from 2006, osx (mountain?) lion, has totally broken down now. The screen is black on start up and I think its time is up. I've made saves and backed it up regularly to an external harddrive. If I buy a new macbook pro with yosemite - will I be able to retrieve all the data from the old external harddrive? Could I use an Ipad to access any data?

    Yes, you should be able to do that if the backup is a Time Machine backup by using the Time Machine application on your new computer or migrating your data from the Setup Assistant that starts up on your new Mac when you first turn it on. I recommend either approach. You can, at a later time if you wish, use Migration Assistant to transfer your data from the Time Machine backup.

  • I have a MacBook, iPhone, Airport Extreme and external hdd. What is my best option to stream my music and movies to my hifi set and TV without having to turn on my MacBook?

    I would very much like to store all my movies and music on my external HDD, which is connected to an Airport Extreme. Could for example Apple TV access this HDD and stream either music to my hifi system or video to my tv, without having to turn on my MacBook or iTunes? And use my iPhone to control everything?

  • Moving library between macbook pro using an external harddrive

    I have been trying to move my aperture 3.0 library from one macbook pro to new laptop pro. I can move the library to an external network harddrive but i can't navigate to the library on the harddrive due to permissions. I have not been able to figure out how to change the permissions. I have also tried using the firewire mode on the old laptop but that hasn't worked. The library is large ~12 gig.
    What is the best way to move the library? I want to use the new laptop to work on the photos so that I can delete the library from the old laptop.

    Personally I would change the ownership of recursively through the whole library to the account that you using on the new computer - you should be able to do that in the terminal shell with chown -R. You can also try the finder and set both the volume and files are set to new owner in the info window (gear box all the way at the bottom)

  • My late 2009 macbook stopped booting up after swapping hdd's with a macbook of the same model with a newer OS what happened did I somehow update my older Mac hardware with newer OS software because it won't recognize the original hdd anymore

    I swapped hdd's with two diff os's and now I'm getting the question mark in the folder icon after replacing the two to their original MacBooks but they work while swapped I realized afterwards that I wanted to use the newer OS in my external enclosure and keep the older hdd in the macbook it was in from the start ive reset pram tried to boot to the menus or what have you by following the step in these forums but my macbook isn't even recognizing the original hdd that came in the macbook

  • MacBook doesen't see WD internal HDD.

    Hello! At first i'm sorry for my english.  So i tried to connect WD internal HardDisk to my MacBook Pro 2011 because i'm almost sure that this is something wrong with my original HDD. (Can't install osx). So before i'll buy a new one, i have to be sure that HDD is destroyed. So when i connected this HDD, mac doesn't see it, even in DiskUtility. HDD was connected to Windows PC - anybody know why mac can't see it? This is WD 1600js and it looks like that:
    Please help me ;<.

    Read this thread link After replacing HDD my Mac can' detect it for possible solutions.

  • How can I install a fresh OS on my 13" macbook. It has a New HDD and I have no install discs. It is a Mid 2010 Model

    Can anyone tell me How I can install a new operating system on a new HDD of my Macbook Mid 2010 model. I don't have another Mac to use, I only have a PC, I also don't have access to any discs or bootable USB's.

    Thanks for the quick response guys. The fulll story is, I bought the machine as not working from eBay with no HDD. It was listed as water damaged. Im competent at fixing water damage and got the machine up and running again in no time. I put a HDD in that I had lying around that was working last time I checked with hope of being able to format it using a recovery USB download from Apple and then going from there but I can't even get that far. Looking at the model release time it seems it would have been released with Snow Leopard so it makes sense that i'd need to get a disk. Unless you have any other suggestions?

  • I have a 2006 model macbook duo core with 10.4.11, can I somehow upgrade to lion?

    My 2006 Duo Core Macbook has OS X 10.4.11.  Can I upgrade this computer to Lion or do I need to buy a new one?  Computer is in great shape and would like to keep it.  Any info would be awesome.  Thanks!
    Dave

    If it's a Core Duo model than you can upgrade only as far as Snow Leopard 10.6.8. A Core 2 Duo or better is needed for Lion.
    You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00 at any Apple retailer of from the Online Store.
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).
