Macbook Pro 2008, is a SSD Upgrade possible?

Hi, I have a 2008 Pro 17". I was wondering if there was a possible SSD Harddrive upgrade that was possible for this model? Thanks!

You can do either. I put my SSDs in the Data Doubler bracket and left the HDD where it was. I've done this in two of my notebooks. It really doesn't make any difference where you put the SSD. My reasoning was that leaving the HDD where it was meant less changes and less risk of causing a problem. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for putting the SSD where the HDD is now located. But that is a question you can ask of the OWC tech support.
BTW, I did not buy the bracket from a different vendor. OWC provides excellent products, good prices, and outstanding service. They are worth paying more. They include toolkits and have excellent video tutorials you can refer to for installation help.

Macbook pro retina late 2013 ssd upgrade Possible?

I have a Samsung SSD 840 evo I've seen people install it but on EARLY 2013 can i do it on LATE 2013 and if there is anything i need to know
(but not void warranty)

Intermittent problems are very difficult to diagnose. I suggest running an Apple hardware Diagnostics that might provide a clue:

Macbook Pro 15' Early 2013 SSD Upgrade

I have a MBPr early 2013 with a 512GB SSD, will the new 1TB PCIe (late 2013 model) fit my Macbook Pro 15' or will I only be able to upgrade to the 756GB from the early 2013 model?

You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
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.

Hi RobertRak
I can only say I have a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB installed in my MacBook Pro 17”. Speeds are exquisite: Write: 479.1MB/s Read: 508.9MB/s
Like Melophage, I left the Optical drive in place.
My only thought for your case is to check firmware of the Samsung SSD drive.
Samsung SSD website: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html
I think i used DiskUtility to clone the ISO to USB flashdrive or CD-RW. It was a challenge to get the Mac to boot from their DOS, but once successful you should get to the latest firmware. The Samsung needs to be in the internal SATA connection.
Be aware that the POST check your Mac does on startup will always take time. Depends on amount of RAM, how long your other internal spindle drive takes to get to speed and unpark the heads etc.
Can't say i've counted the boot time on mine. I know it's quicker now since putting the SSD in.
You will need at least 10% free space left on the boot SSD too BTW.
Hope this assists.

Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

Dear all,
A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8), I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
With EFI it just boots Mac
With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
I do not know what is wrong :/
P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

15" Macbook Pro mid-2010, 16GB RAM upgrade possible?

Hi all,
I've been looking around all the support forums and questions asked etc..
But I can't find a definitive answer about support for the 15" mid-2010 MBP being able to use 16GB (and be stable).
I'm aware that it's perfectly fine on the 13" model, however I have the 15" i7.
From what I've been reading it's because of the motherboard/Graphics chip/EFI BIOS incompatibiity with anything more than 8GB. (Which is silly really, as the same Intel core i7 can have up too at least 32GB of RAM on any none-Mac system.)
Have Apple not pushed out an EFI BIOS update that could allow the use of 16GB RAM?
If this has been clearly answered elsewhere (and I haven't found it), feel free to point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Jon.

Unfortunately, 8GB is the limit. I have the same machine. Why it works on the 13" and not the 15" is ridiculous, but that's how it is.

OSX Mavericks on a Macbook Pro 2008: is it possible?, OSX Mavericks on a Macbook Pro 2008: is it possible?

I've got a Macbook Pro 2008 with Snow Leopard installed, 4Gb Ram and 500Gb DD ... is it possible or recomendable to update to OSX Mavericks? Compatibility says: OS 10.6.8 or later. I'm just that 10.6.8
Can you help me out? Thank you!

To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

I'm looking for a laptop that will last me a couple of years which is why I'm upgrading to SSD without losing performance. I usually game on my Mac so I want a laptop to handle that, handle programs in the background and writing or reading without losing speed, I also need a laptop that has fast boot time.
I will be using the laptop mainly for school and running programs such as iWork and mircrosoft office as well as websurfing and video streaming thanks for any advice.

I hope others pipe in with their comments, but the first suggestion is to visit your local Apple Store and try out the units. Trying them out can make a difference in your decision.
This is how I'd try to make sense of this:
MBP 13 2012:
Solid all-purpose portable at a decent price, and even has a 240GB SSD. If you don't load it with tons to videos, this will more than fit your needs as a student and websurfer. A little heavier than the others here, but it's a solid package that's stable. Great if you need to use the CD/DVD.
MBA 13 2012:
Also good, similar specs, notably lighter. Notes are easy to take, and easier to carry on long campus treks. If you're not near a power source, the battery life may be a concern. If you need a CD/DVD, you can connect it when you need it - but it's extra. Servicing a MBA is more difficult.
MBR 15 2012:
Beautiful display, packed with performance. No DVD/CD drive, NVIDIA performance is unproven, kind of pricey, the first generation of a device; it's going to get better over time. Can't be serviced in any way by the user; the Apple Store is your only option. Now's not the best time to get the MBR.
MBR 13 2012:
Same comments.
I'd say the MBA is a good pick. Few moving parts, therefore more reliability. Low heat. You can always attach a CD/DVD drive via USB. Intel Graphics is solid; no problems there. Plenty of capacity for your needs. And the display is bright. MBA 13 or 11, IMO.

Macbook pro wont sleep after ram upgrade

Hi,
I have a 17" Macbook pro late 2011. I upgraded the ram from 8gb to 16gb last week and now I having trouble with sleep. When the laptop goes to sleep it always to seems to go into hibernation mode. When I open the lid I can only wake the computer by holding the power button for around 7 secs and then it does a restore from the HD. I've tried a PRAM + SMC reset. Also tested the ram and everything seems good. Below is the output from pm set, the console after hibernation restore (filtered for the word 'sleep') and the memtest. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi fatlinesofcode,
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

My macbook pro 2008 running OS X 10.5.8. But I can't connect my new iPhone!

My macbook pro 2008 running OS X 10.5.8. However I have recently bought an iPhone5 and I cannot curently connect my iPhone to my mac, as I need iTunes 7 - BUT i can't download iTunes 7 since my software does not support it!
So I obviously need to connect my iPhone to my laptop, but the software is getting in the way! How can I update my software so that I can run iTunes 7
Many thanks

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

MacBook Pro Retina 13" - Can i upgrade the dual-core i7 to quad-core i7 CPU?

MacBook Pro Retina 13" - Can i upgrade the dual-core i7 to quad-core i7 CPU? (obviously not talking about BTO, but about "self-service" upgrade ...)

Yeah it is soldered. So no upgrade possible. Found here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq /macbook-pro-retina-display-processor-ram-expansion-slots.html
Thanks Jon P D !

HT1338 Help, I need to update my OS to Lion. What is the best way? I have a Macbook Pro 2008

I'm late in updating my OS to Lion. Im on a MacBook Pro 2008. does anyone have advice as to the best way to proceed?

Click here and read all of the steps to the bottom; if you want to upgrade to 10.7 but not 10.8 for some reason, instead of buying 10.8 from the Mac App Store, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

Macbook Pro 4,1 doesn't upgrade to 10.8

My Macbook Pro 4,1 doesn't upgrade to 10.8.
I tried using just the app, but also creating a separate partition with the InstallESD.dmg extracted to it, same with the BaseSystem.dmg, and some other combinations.
I have to mention, that the FireWire on my motherboard is defective, so in my current OS(10.6.8) I have the FW modules removed. I also tried several times to use an image (InstallESD and BaseSystem) with the FW modules extracted from them, but it didn't make any difference. But
When starting up in verbose mode, it hangs after the message:
"ConsiderRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel com.apple.nke.webcontentfilter triggered rebuild"
The last time, using the BaseSystem.dmg with all the packages and such copied from the InstallESD to the root of the drive, it vould hang after initializing the AppleYukon Ethernet adapter with the message:
Ethernet [AppleYukon2]: Link up on en0, 100-megabit, Full-duplex, Symetric flow-control, Debug [796d,6f08,0de1,0200,45e1,4000]
After this it would just hang for half an hour, doing nothing but reacting when I unplug and replug the ethernet cable with:
AppleYukon2 - en0 link down
And when re-plugging, same message as above:
Ethernet [AppleYukon2]: Link up on en0, 100-megabit, Full-duplex, Symetric flow-control, Debug [796d,6f08,0de1,0200,45e1,4000]
I'm slowly getting desperate, because now I'm TWO versions of the OS behind. If anyone has a suggestion that might do the trick, please be so kind... :-)
Note: During verbose boot, is says:
"FireWire (OHCI) TI ID 8025 built-in now active, GUID oo1ff3ffffe3674c6; max speed s100"
Does this mean it is loading some firewire module somewhere? And if yes, where and how can I remove it? Cause if it does, this might be the culprit...
Thanks in advance!

Macbook Pro 2008. My screen stayed black and is unresponsive.

Macbook Pro 2008. My screen stayed black and is unresponsive and sleep light is on. I shut down and then restarted and nothing happened on screen but sleep light came on and is solid.

It could possibly be the video card, or the logic board. You could try a smc reset if you have not done s yet. smc reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
I had an issue similar to this, and there was a bad logic board, hard drive and video card.
You might want to bring it in to the Apple store, they do the diagnostic for free and give you a repair price.
They offer a flat repair rate, which they fix what ever is wrong as long it was due to liquid damage.
The repair cost me about 1/3rd the price of a new machine and the machine has been fine ever since.
It's worth getting it checked out.
