MacBook Pro SSD problem

Hi, I have an early 2011 MBP and I could install successfully an Intel 330 series 120GB SSD, it just worked well for 6 months. But since yesterday the MBP is not recognizing the SSD anymore. I have tried the SSD in a white MB and the SSD works fine, also I have swaped the Intel SSD for an OCZ and that has the same issue. In disk utility I have tried to erease the disk but failed also the reinstall fails. Any idea what to do?

Since the hard drive worked for the 1st 6 months I would first contact the vendor. You should have some sort of a warranty.

How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

Nope. You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00 through an Apple retailer or ordering from AppleCare:

Macbook pro freezing problem 2010 SSD Optibay Help

Hi just need a little advice, I have a Macbook Pro mid 2010 15" running mountain lion
Around 2 years ago i replaced the superdrive with a 60gb Crucial SSD housed in an optibay. On this runs the OS and all of my applications. In the normal HD drive I have a 1TB disc which saves all my photos movies music etc.
Everything has worked fine but recently my Mac keeps freezing and I get a spinning ball, this happens normally after around 10 minutes of use no matter what apps I have running. It will then require keeping hold of the power button to shut it down.
I am unable to run hardware test as I have no disc drive to insert the original disc and holding down D does not work.
I have checked and repaired disk permissions but it stated nothing was wrong.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks Dan

Apple Store won't touch it with an Opti Bay installed. It's almost certainly a firmware issue with the Crucial SSD. Is it the M4? There is a well known bug when you hit 5000 hrs of uptime that results in hourly beachballs on all Crucial M4 SSDs.
You need to check the drive's firmware status in About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report -> Serial-ATA -> and then check the "Firmare Revision" of your SSD against Crucial's website:
crucial . com . store / ssd. aspx (remove the spaces - Apple is jealous of other links, sorry)
Then find the latest firmware and figure out the best way of installing the update - it will not be easy without a CD drive unless Crucial has finally finished their Mac OS X-compatible software for providing firmware updates - which they had not yet provided as of a couple months ago when I ran into this issue.
The bottom line is the Apple Store will be of no use to you unless you remove your Opti Bay and replace your original components, and even then your warranty is probably expired so you're out of pocket and they won't have the solution anyway if it's indeed Crucial firmware.
FYI, if you do have an M4 from Crucial, the firmware revision you WANT is 040H.
[edit]
I should note two important things:
1) It is impossible to update the SSD's firmware with an EXTERNAL/USB CD drive/burner. Only a SuperDrive connected to the SATA ports is bootable.
2) Crucial provides a Windows program that is supposed to update any internally connected SSDs to the newest firmware but it does not work on a Mac with Boot Camp - you must remove your SSD and install the firmware via a Windows computer or through the much more difficult process of building a bootable Mac USB key with the firmware revision installed on it. I never tried this route, because it seemed unlikely to succeed.

Retina MacBook Pro sleep problem since 10.9.2

Ever since updating to 10.9.2 earlier in the week my macbook refuses to wake from sleep each morning.
Having looked at the console logs it seems that perhaps the problem is related to it not actually managing to go to sleep properly.
I closed the lid on the computer at about 19:07 as can be seen in the first of these console dumps. I put the laptop in my bag and went home, where the laptop stayed closed in my bag all night. Apparently the computer awoke 70 minutes later. In the morning, back at the office, I left the lid open for a good 5 minutes before deciding to reboot at 9:37, so it seems that the computer was indeed turned off as there was no activity in these minutes.

Weird huh? Can anyone tell from these logs why it's going mad in my bag? Why would it try and wake and then crash and power-off?

MacBook Pro SSD drive: need to free up space

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro (late 2011), running OSX 10.7.5, with a 128GB SSD drive. The problem I have is that I am running out of space on my drive, even though I don't appear to be storing that much on it. When I view my usage in 'About This Mac', I get the following:
Audio=38.2 GB; Movies=0 GB; Photos=7.64 GB; Apps=12.73 GB; Other 41.06 GB
Backups are 0 and my Documents folder is only around 5 GB; my Trash and Downloads are empty too.
So the question I have is, what is this 41.06 GB (or minus the Documents folder around 36 GB)? I have searched through the system folders and I can't find anything that is accounting for this data.
I seem to recall from day 1 of owning this MacBook (my first MacBook I admit), that my drive has been filling up somewhere with gigs of data, and I can't seems to account for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I always forget about the sleepimage file. I turned that off a long time ago.
I have been running Lion for just over a year, and Mt Lion for part of that (Now back to Lion) and have never had this problem. As most Mac users don't. It is a glitch in the OS, is all I can think of.
You could use the Recovery HD, or the Online Recovery system, to Wipe (Re-Partition if you use the Online system) the drive and then reinstall Lion and restore only settings, programs and files from your TM backup at the first boot of the newly install OS.

I've managed to account for 17 GB which is being used in the 'sleepimage' file. Still another 20 GB to go.....
It would probably be easier to buy a 512 GB disc and install this. However, from what I have read with other people having the same problem, some people are losing a whopping >200 GB in space, which they can't account for in Lion.

Fusion Drive on Macbook Pro & Hibernation problem

Hi,
Two weeks ago I installed second SDD in my Optibay (Macbook Pro mid2010 13"). Now I have HDD (Seagate Momentus XT 750GB) + SSD (Kingston V300 60GB) in configuration like that:
1) HDD in normal bay (because of SMS)
2) SDD in optibay
I configured this drives to work as Fusion Drive (it's really fast now!), but the main problem is hibernation (known as deep sleep also).
When macbook goes sleep whole memory are written to disk (in my case - fusion drive), and when the battery die it should be resumed from disk. But I found, that people using OS X from optibay drive can't use hibernation. In this case the main HD is expanded on both drives (SDD + HDD), so this is a problem - memory image should be readed also from optibay/normal bay drives.
Is there any workaround or any chance to get hibernation on fusion drive working in Macbook?
The main reason I'm looking for solution is low battery problem - I can't sleep safely my computer on 2-3% of battery and I don't want to turn it off...
Best regards,
Dawid

I have the same physical setup (though it's a MacBook 5,1, the first unibody 13"), but haven't tried Fusioning-it. (I have been holding off for 10.8.3 in the hope that it will have a properly fusion-aware Disk Utility when I get into trouble; my understanding is that all official Fusion Drive systems have a custom build of 10.8.2 with changes in Disk Utility and, I assume, diskutil.)
As far as I know, and I'd love to be proved wrong, hibernation just can't work if the SSD is in the optibay (as mine is as well). It doesn't get power immediately on wake so it just doesn't work. The only thing you can do is disable hibernation support so that the system doesn't even try (saving you the hibernation-image space on the SSD); set OS X to restore your windows when you log back in; and then shut down when you're nearing zero battery. Alas.
If this can't be made to work when the SSD is the boot volume alone, I can't imagine there's a way to make it work when it's in fusion drive.

Macbook pro ssd recommendations

hello people. I have a 2011 macbook pro 15" and i am not not happy with the responsiveness, the start up speed, and all. I have decided to install an ssd of 256GB and then 8GB ram.
Can i get recomendations on which one to buy please (the ssd).
Thank you

Crucial provides a wide range of alternatives for both RAM and SSD. Just select your MBP and it will show you compatible versions.
RAM: http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
SSD: http://www.crucial.com/store/ssd.aspx
However, you should research to find if you really need these upgrades.
Memory updates are useful when you're multitasking a lot applications. Also your operating system can cache frequently used applications/files into memory and decrease access-time of those applications/files. When you boot up your computer, it load operating system and startup application. Then it uses the rest of the memory to do this caching. It does this slowly, so that it won't disturb you by hard disk usage and slow your system down.
Hard drives are mature elements of computers. There are a lot of correction and fault-proofing going on behind the scene. SSD, however, is a new technology and there are couple of problems, such as lifespan, decreasing performance, so on and so fourth.

Retina Display MacBook Pro eye problem and strain

Hi, the name is Ben
Recently, I boought a retina display and have since been having noticeable eye problem.
(strain, fatigue, oversensativity to computer monitor/screen ligthing)
My question was, has anyone been experiencing the same.
I use my computer pretty much all day, since my work/studies are all based on it.
Still, after 2 weeks of using retina display macbook pro, I have rapidely seen my eyes
starting to hurt, being oversensitive to computer monitor (not that I can't use any, but am
very sensitive to any lighting and need particular moderation in usage)
Now true, there ARE many good habits I did not know of before,(see some examples below)
that I am trying to adopt but still (reducing only in part the problem), I must say I am rather worried,
since I have never had any similar problem in 5 yearsof using my previous 13", macbook, mid 2007.
Any commments, or suggestion (constructive of course) would be welcome.
(few examples of of good habits I have tried so far)
as regularly standing (/30 min),
look at something far away for 20 second (/20 min), blinking regularly, closing eyes for a moment,
adjusting lighting in work environnement, buying an antiglare film or device (nushield) , adjusting screen position,
not working to close to screen, using bigger fonts

an hour on my MBP by itself (someone else's office, a hotel room, an airplane, my lazy sofa) and my eyes lose the ability to focus --and I'm toast.
Ok, I'll explain why.
First off your iPad and iPhone screen is smaller, thus doesn't reflect as much as a larger display will.
Your other displays are in a static environment where you have reduced the glare or it's been reduced just by chance.
When you take the glossy screen laptop to another location without adequate environmental features to reduce glare imposed (no overhead lights, closed windows, low light etc.) on the screen, thus your getting eyestrain from the glare.
It's caused by the slightly out of focus reflections verses the screen image, your eyes are automatically refocusing between the two images.
Your solution in this matter is to apply a anti-glare film to the laptops glossy screen, unfortunately it's going to cost money and be replaced often as it gets dirty, dries out and peels at edges etc.
Ideally a anti-glare matte screen would be the choice in the first place. I use my Mac for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and don't have the eyestrain problem anymore.

Adobe CS3 and MacBook Pro: any problems?

i am about to purchase a new 15" macbook pro and adobe cs3.
has anyone experienced problems or issues with cs3 running on their macbook pro?
thanks!

Hi,
I have purchased CS3 and I have a G5 Tower and a MBP dual 2 core (bought it 2 months ago)
Let me tell you that I am very unpleased with CS3 on both machines.
On the G5 it is 10 times slower than CS1 for some reason it takes a lot of processing power and RAM wich the G5 does poorly.
On the MBP it processes fine but I only have 1 Gig of RAM and I feel that I don't have enough. Plus it doesn't help that a laptop HD is slower at opening files so it really makes it look like it runs slow...I should of bought the 24in imac instead due to the fact that it doesn't cost 900$ to buy a extra 2 Gigs of RAM
and the HD is faster

Macbook Pro Retina problem connecting to external monitor

Hello Community,
I've been experiencing a problem, I bought a 13' Macbook Pro Retina. Not quite a cheap machine.
But when I connect through HDMI to my HP 23xi , the screen gets blurry and cut. I tried messing with the configurations, but it simply won't get better.
I presume it's because it is retina, of course. But I bought this monitor, a quite nice monitor a month ago, and I do not want to sell it nor throw it away.
What should I do?
My Kindest Regards,
Luisvf7

Hi luisvf7,
So it seems you are having issues with your MacBook Pro not displaying properly on your external display. It does sound like a frustrating situation. Let’s see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the problem -
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Specifically the section - No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
