Macbook pro retina 15 inch will not recongize WD30ezrx hardrive external

Hey guys and gals hope you can help me out on this one. I have the wd30ezrx hardrive in an external enclosure. the power light on the enclosure comes on and if i reboot my mac the little blip from teh harddrive happens. however the macbook pro cannot see the hard drive. cannot se it in finder or diskutitlity or about this mac.
any ideas?

Have you been succesfull in connecting this HDD to another MBP or other computer?  It may have failed or the enclosure curcuitry is faulty.
Ciao.

  • Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    I just Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

    dunno, Lynn--maybe Etrecheck. trying running disk utility to verify the status of your hard drive. That may give you a basic idea. Perhaps tech tool pro.  As for it running hot, I can't say for sure. try shutting it down and using a vacuum clearner +crevice tool around the back of it.  It's been my experience that hard drives usually fail without a lot of warning, luckily you have a backup. Afterwards you can say "Yup, that went bad".  I've done a little research and found out that your MacBook Pro doesn't come with a conventional hard drive as such, but an SSD (solid state device) . It's upgradeable (up to 1 TB ) but not cheaply
    go here for more info (OWC) :http://eshop.macsales.com. For right now, I'd recommend resetting the SMC/PMU, maybe zapping the pram . to do that, reboot, hold down Apple+Option, P+R keys while rebooting. Hold down for 3 chimes, let go and let it boot. as for the SMC thing....
    I'm assuming your battery isn't removeable-shut down computer, plug in MagSafe cable . On built in keyboard, on left side, press Shift-Control-Option and power button at the same time.  release all the keys and the power button. press power button again to turn on computer
    that is all

  • 15 inch Macbook pro Retina HDMI port will not work

    One day it was working fine then all of a sudden the screen when blank and i have not been able to get it to work since.  I use to plug the HDMI cable from my MAC to my TV now there is no acknowledgement on my tv and my MAC will not detect that a cable has been connected like it use to.  Please help.

    If available, try connecting to another TV, try another cable and/or another Mac.  An appointment at an Apple store genius bar can determine if the fault lies with the MBP.  There is no software solution in this case.

  • Macbook Pro Retina (July 2014) will not register TOUCH events when going through the AIR DEBUG LAUNCHER for MOBILE

    I recently purchased a MACBOOK PRO with a retina screen and have started to transition to it as a primary work computer.
    I have a game that is built on another Macbook Pro (non retina) that works fine in the AIR debug launcher for mobile but when I launch it from the RETINA device, the touch events seem to not register correctly.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    To further clarify, it appears the touch simulator is cutting everything in half, maybe because of the pixel density?

  • Macbook Pro (Retina Early-2013) will not turn on

    I plugged my iPhone into my computer and was going through the process of syncing my music when my MacBook Pro just powers down completely. I've been unable to turn the computer on since then, following the Apple trouble-shooting process.
    Interestingly, when I do a SMC reset, the LED color on my MagSafe charger will change to green and then back to orange, leading me to believe that it isn't an issue with either the connection to the power button, or with the logic board itself. In spite of this, no boot-up sounds, no LED lighting up on the Caps Lock button, no nothing.
    Has anyone else run into an issue like this before? Were you able to resolve it?

    Hello FAHQALL,
    The resource below will provide some steps to try if your MacBook Pro won't turn on.  Resetting the SMC is one of them.  Troubleshooting the MagSafe adapter and installed RAM are also included.  There are links in the article for additional support if the computer needs to be physically inspected.

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

    Hi David.  I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help.  I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it.  I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
    You also haven't posted any information about the SD card.  What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)?  This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
    If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you.  In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.

  • Will Macbook Pro Retina 13 Inch be Compatible with the new 802.11 ac

    Dear,
    I saw that a new wifi standard is released with the new Time Capsule. Is it possible that via software update in the future my current new macbookr pro retina 13 inch will be compatible with this standard.
    Or will I have to wait for the new macbook pro's?
    Kind regards,
    Vincent

    There are 802.11ac USB adapters available for Macs - http://www.provantage.com/asus-usb-ac53~7ASU91YT.htm?source=googleps
    Not a perfect solution but maybe it will help you.
    Best of luck.

  • I'm about to buy the MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch in USA. I will be using predominantly in Europe. What accessories should I be buying?

    I'm about to buy the MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch in USA. I will be using predominantly in Europe. What accessories should I be buying?

    We can't discuss what Apple is going to do or new products, but it does make a lot of sense if your gut feelings tell you to buy now.
    I got a really bad feeling and ran out and got the last of the 17" MBP's with anti-glare and Snow Leopard.
    Turned out I was right in listening to my gut, the abortion of OS X Lion came out killed my 15", Cupertino HQ was pwned by Flashback and Apple pulled the 17" MBP completely off the market.
    Apple has purposely put the Retinas front and center in their stores, so the majority of the know-nothings buy those. If they thought a bit about buying a machine with future options in upgrade options they would, like you, choose the non-Retina.
    Really if you want choice in hardware, your going to have to switch to a PC. As you can pretty much get anything you need on that platform. Apple's hardware choices have been sealing up and their OS X is turning into iOS, soon it's going to be nothing more than a dumbed down iPad.
    Windows 8 Pro can be downgraded to Window 7 even, and since Win 7 is supported until 2020, you should be set for quite a few more years. The choice of software is vast on Windows and it's sort of the next eveolutionary step up actually.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch 2.3 running seriously slow

    Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch 2.3 running seriously slow lately, anyone else having this? It's been almost a year since i bought it but i only use it for making music and the internet. Got 70 GB free space just in case. It's an absolute nightmare right now. Anyone else having this, any ideas what i can do? Seriously heating up as well.

    The kernel_task is basically the OS kernel, so it will fluctuate depending upon what is accessing it. Do you notice this with any other application you are running? What are you doing when the kernel_task ramps up to 300%? How much RAM is installed, and what do you observe about usage in Activity Monitor?
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) Storage

    Hi all,
    I am using MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013). Base on its spcification [http://support.apple.com/kb/SP668?viewlocale=en_US], it's configurable to 512GB or 768GB flash storage.
    My corrent storage is 256GB, and I want to upgrade it.
    Is there one more free slot or it need to be replaced with my old SSD???
    Thnanks,

    You need to replace the flash storage. Note that the MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with flash storage because a SSD doesn't fit on it.
    I recommend you to get an external drive and store the files there instead of replacing the flash storage, which is expensive and will void warranty

  • Broken screen of MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013). Where I can find the part?

    I have a broken screen for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and I cannot find a replacement. Where I can find the screen? I will install myself. Thanks

    Apple does not sell replacement parts, any you find will be third-party knockoffs.  Take your Retina to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs tell you what  needs to be done.  New Retina screens are not cheap, they normally replace the entire lid as a unit.

  • How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012

    How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012.
    I want to know how much Apple will charge for this (if they even do this since I don't see it on their website).

    Apple does not upgrade parts of a machine - they'll have it repaired under warranty, but no upgrades. You can, however, take it to an authorized service provider; no idea how much they would charge.
    You can also do this yourself - here is an installation video:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_retinadisplay_late12_unibo dy_ssd/
    I bought one of their SSDs and installed it in my 2012 MBP (not retina) - very easy to do. If you want to go this way, post back for instructions on how to clone your current drive which will make things super easy.

  • 4k Monitor w/ MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)

    I am looking to purchase a 4k monitor. I am attempting to determine if I can get full resolution 4k res at the 60mhz level. From what I read, I can only get 30mhz via an HDMI connection on the laptop. However, this report varies all from different sources.
    Ironically, I just bought this MacBook Pro 13in in January 2015 and now the new MacBook Pro 13in just came out w native 4k res support.
    My setup:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    3 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris 1536 MB

    1- does Apple ever do exchanges for newly released products?  I bought my MacBook in jan they came out with new in mar.
    If you purchased the product from Apple, not a third party, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to return it for a refund or exchange.  You are well past that.
    2- if and when Apple comes out with a 4k or 5k thunderbolt display, will it be backwards compatible with my MacBook sich that I can't get the resolutions and 60mhz?
    I do not have an answer to that and the Terms of Use for these forums discourages from speculating what Apple may or may not do in the future.  Having said that, from a practical business standpoint, backwards compatibility would be a sensible approach.  It has been done so in many areas in the past.

  • Connecting Dell u2715h Monitor to Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013

    I recently purchased the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor U2715H to work as a second monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013).
    What connection cables do I need to make this work most effectively?

    Hi,
    I bought the same monitor. I will receive it next week, but i read some blogs about the best alternatives for getting the 2560x1440 and my first option will be connecting my macbook pro retina 13' using the thunderbolt (mini-display port) to the mini-display port available in the monitor.
    I'm planning using this cable:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m
    A mini-reference about the mini-display port (It was useful for me):
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This is what I'm planning to do. Note that I don't know if it works! I think so, but I don't know. I will tell you if it works next week.
    If you have a mini-display port to display port cable it should work too.
    Regards,
    Carlos.
