MacBook Pro with SSD that has a limited disk space (120GB). Rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.

I'm using MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD that has a limited disk space. As we know, when rendering in Project File (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects), it takes huge space and the limited disk space would not be enough for the whole editing.
My question is, Is there any method to get the rendering Projects file saved into an external hard drive which is connected with USB/ Thunderbolt/ Firewire, with huge disk space (eg. 500GB HDD).
Now, new project created in my Mac is automatically saved in (User/Movies/Final Cut Projects) and my Mac has ran out of space to hold the files.
Thank you.

You have at least 3 different ways to show the project library:
1) Go to WIndow->Show Project Library
2) Click the button in bottom left of your window: 
3) Hit the keyboard shortcut (Command-0)
The project library will be shown, occupying the area where the timeline usually is.
Your hard disks will be visible. Click the hard disk where you want the new project to reside and hit Cmd-N to create a new project.

  • Macbook Pro with SSD 10.8 OS install CC desktop failed

    System disk (256GB SSD) has 210GB before installation process started, 16GB system DIMM available, OS is v10.8. The process of updating Creative Cloud Desktop could not be finished, system prompted warning message of "insufficient memory for app installation" even SDD still has 140GB left.

    Dear Kapil,
    I still failed to install CC desktop successfully. Same failure encountered. It looks like the installation process could not be finished for some reason, the storage space in SSD was keeping consuming for more than 60GB. I would not believe CC desktop needs more than 60G storage for installation. I had already installed it on my Mac Pro without any problem. I tried to install it on my MBP as backup. My issue may also relate to my changing level of my subscription last week. I upgraded my subscription level from single app to full function last week by the help from Adobe Service staff. However, I still saw the older subscription was listed on my subscription list, even the service staff said he or she has already cancelled my single app subscription successfully. I started to get warning message of trial expiration soon today while I was using Photoshop CC. This did tell me my single app subscription has been cancelled. Why I still saw it in my subscription list? It is really confusing.

    Kapil,
    I had ever tried the process you suggested days ago by referring to closer issue reported in forum. However, I still encountered same failure after doing so. I will re-valid your suggestion after returning home tonight. I am afraid it related to SSD. Many thanks.

  • Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

    I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb.  Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

    Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
    So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port.  I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's.   The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps).   A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009.  On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and  Seagate Momentus XT 750.  Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ.   Check your System Info on SATA info.   If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives.  If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices.    On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!!      The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle.   This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

  • If I ordered a MacBook Pro with ssd is that with 750gb or instead of

    If I order a MacBook Pro with 128gb ssd will that be plus 750gb or instead of.

    It's one or the other, not both. There's no room in a MBP for two drives (other than the optical drive.)

  • Why doesn't Apple Retail Store sell MacBook pros with SSD?

    I have read that it is because they only sell MacBook Pros with the most reliable technology and because SSD still needs to be proven.
    So many rumors Out there make the purchase decision really tough.
    And, why doesn't apple offer a 7,200 rpm drive for the 13" mbp? According to the forum, the 13" can take it???

    I have read that it is because they only sell MacBook Pros with the most reliable technology and because SSD still needs to be proven.
    So many rumors Out there make the purchase decision really tough.
    If you are interested in SSD reliability, that is not a very simple question to answer, given that there are many factors involved in the idea of "reliability" and if you start to do some research in the area, the idea of "reliability" will likely extend to questions about performance and cost. These questions can then get rather technical, and would likely extend to "performance under specific conditions of use" and "cost versus perceived and actual benefit".
    Apple currently lacks TRIM support for SSDs, but various SSDs vendors have addressed this issue in one way or another. This is typically through a proprietary implementation of the SSD controller, and, in general, how it handles garbage collection to offset the lack of TRIM support.
    Although rumors may lend to the difficulty in making a decision about whether to wait for a certain technology or not, "off the cuff" user experiences also flood the posts. ABC is super fast, XYZ is faster. It is great to hear about user experience, but sometimes it is useful to go beyond these. Benchmark tests can actually size some of this up into quantitative values, but then often times benchmarks, by their inherent nature, are addressing a very specific set of circumstances. So, what their results might show don't necessarily always carry over to a use case with different parameters.
    The market for SSDs is relatively new and currently there is no market standard for many of the sub-technologies that go into making one. In this sense it is a little like the "Beta and VHS" battle of old, but less delineated since even within the distinction between TRIM vs No-TRIM support, their is no shortage of proprietary endeavor to produce an SSD that does not require TRIM. And then while all of that is going on, the SSD market - aside from the TRIM / No-TRIM issue is still evolving at quite a rapid pace.
    And just to wrap the whole thing up into the larger context, HDDs have obviously been around for some time now, but there is still no shortage of debate on which is the "best". Although, I will say that given their relative market maturity, HHD debates do tend to have less of the current "hoopla" and fanfare and that many SSD vendors may actually be counting on to catch your attention.

  • Connecting macbook pro with tv that only has dvi port

  • Late 2011 Macbook Pro with SSD Freezing

    Hello,
    I have a late 2011 macbook pro and about six or so months ago I have it a new lease on live with a Samsung 840 SSD (non pro).
    I haven't really had any problems with that until recently - the machine started locking up on wakeup. This meant that the beachball of doom would start and each program would gradually in turn become unresponsive. Shutdown command wouldn't work and would time out, force quit wouldn't open, and although I could move the mouse around and sometimes switch between programs, they didn't work and the only cure was to hold the power button until it switched off.
    This has also started happening just when the computer has been on for a certain amount of time *without sleeping*. For example, if I watch an episode of a tv show, by the end of it the video is still running but all of the other programs are locked up - clicking out of VLC causes the beachball of doom. This also happens in other programs - it's even happened as I've been writing this, and the only remedy seems to be a hard restart.
    The problem doesn't seem to occur in windows. In OSX I have 'put hard drives to sleep' turned off, and TRIM enabled. I also disables the sudden movement sensor. I have also reset the SMC.
    Does anyone know of a remedy short of a full reinstall of Mountain Lion?
    Oh and I used samsung magician in windows to update the firmware of the drive. It reports that the drive should be fine.
    Thanks very much for any help anyone can give me with this!

    anything is possible - corrupt files - corrupt drivers - it could be anything.
    try doing a nvram/pram reset and see if that sorts it out.
    i have ssd installed in all my Macbook/Macbook Pro and have never had any issues.
    Then again, I don't have windows installed in any of them.
    hopefully the nvram/pram reset sorts it out for you.
    once you've done that reset - go back to system preferences - startup disk and select your ssd as the startup drive again - then restart it again.

  • Buy a MacBook pro with SSD or upgrade to SSD?

    Hey guys! Hope you can help me out with this one!
    I have just purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with i7 2.9 GHz processor, 8 GB ram and a 750 GB 5400 rpm HDD.
    The simple reason that I bought it with a HDD and not a SSD is that I could not afford the SSD.
    Now after searching the web I have come across a huge amount of videos and threads on various Apple forums talking about how easy it is to upgrade your MacBook Pro to have a SSD instead of a HDD. I have also researched the cost of such an upgrade and it seems incredibly cheap compared to buying a MBP with a SSD already installed.
    How is this possible? To me it seems to good to be true that it is cheaper to upgrade your computer with a SSD than buying a computer with a SSD already installed?! Does such an upgrade come with a lot of downsides? Or is it really true that you can save yourself money by doing the upgrade yourself after purchasing the computer?
    Thanks a lot!

    Because Apple gouges its customers on any upgraded from Standard, Stock, configurations.
    No real downsides except that you mi=ust Enable TRIM support yourself once you install an afermarket SSD. If Apple installs one, Branded as an Apple SSD, then TRIM is Auto Enabled, Go figure.
    The next, and only other, downside is you will lose some storage capacity as a SSD of 750GBs, or even close to 750GBs, will cost you lots of money. So most people install 256GB models which in your case would drop the total internal drive capacity by 500GBs+/-.

  • 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.

  • Questions about buying a new MacBook pro with SSD

    Hello, I am about to buy a new MacBook pro. I'm going to get the 13 inch 2.8 dual core i7. I want a solid state drive also. I was going back and forth between the 128 gig or the 256 but I will probably get the 256. My computer will ship with lion but i am so confused about the TRIM support. Does lion take care of this? Dop I have to do anything like run a command or program to take care of TRIM?  Also, are solid states reliable? Should I get apple care? ( i really don't want to. Lol)

    I suggest you buy the notebook with the standard drive and the standard RAM, if you were thinking about upgrading the RAM.
    You can replace the original drive with a SSD at a lower cost then what Apple charges You can also buy RAM for a MUCH lower price.
    TRIM:
    Lion only supports TRIM natively when used with a Apple SSD. BUT, REALLY BUT, You can enable TRIM support yourself on the SSD you install. I have a SSD in my MBP that I installed and I have enabled TRIM support on it.
    Are SSDs reliable? As far as I can tell Yes they are. I have one in my Win 7 desktop PC for the last 9 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my Dell Win 7 Notebook for the last 1.5 months, No Problems. I have a SSD installed in my MBP for the last month+, No problems. There are reports of SSDs failing but there are also report of standard hard drive failing all the time.
    I used Intel 320 series SSDs in my 2 Windows PCs and a Kingston V200 SSD in my MBP. I switched to the Kingston because of the price and it runs on the higher SATA III bus speed, 6GB, where as the Intel 320 series only run at the 3GB speed, SATA II.

  • MacBook Pro with SSD taking 5  minutes to start

    I have a MBP that recently started taking 5-10 minutes to bootup.
    Here are the symptoms - boots to grey apple screen and freezes (this occurs ater Verbose mode exits the terminal even, but before the login screen). After about 5 minutes, it goes to the login screen and continues as normal.
    I have tried PRAM reset, SMC reset, reinstall of Mountain Lion, permissions whizjiggery, turning off icloud and removing all startup items....
    Here are some relevant sections of a typical console log after startup showing some time gaps....

    The other symptom I am experiencing on this MBP at this time is terrible airport connectivity, dropped packets, difficulty finding networks, etc
    It is a 3rd party (OCD Vertex2) SSD that I have been using as a boot drive for over a year with no problems

    Sounds like time for a PRAM reset. Here's how:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    ‘command’ – ‘option’ – ‘P’ – ‘R’
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as normal.

  • Whats better? iMac with HDD or MAcbook Pro with SSD?

    Just like the title says, I am split with what to buy.
    I am thinking of the new 27" iMac (1TB HDD) in which I would look to upgrade ram to 16GB. This iMac is the £1,600 one, not the £1,750 one.
    OR
    The older 13" MacBook Pro (without Retina display) as I would be able to change the HDD to a 480Gb SSD and also upgrade the ram to 16GB.
    I wanna know what machine would be faster for any tasks, like faster loading etc. I also use programmes such as Photoshop.
    I'm not sure what one would be better as to why I'm asking here. Processing/ load up speeds and also non-lag are what I'm after really.
    If any more info is needed, I will reply!
    Many thanks!

    Ideally I would get the iMac with a SSD but as my parent is partly funding this they don't want to get it off the Apple store directly, as they can get a good work discount through PC World (UK technical store if the USA don't have it ) and they only have the HDD version
    But yeah, there's a lot of articles that say for speed and performance, it's the Hard drive and Ram that make the difference and not the processor so although iMac is better in that aspect I think I trust many, many articles aha!

  • MacBook Pro with SSD and HD

    I didn't find a section for Time Machine, but since I have MacBook Pro (early 2011), I posted this question in this section.
    I had a MBP (early 2008) and removed the DVD drive, put HD in the place of DVD, and installed an SSD in the HD location. I reinstalled Mac OS 10.6.x on the SSD, formatted the HD and I changed my user home directory to be under the HD via "Advanced Options" under Users in system prefrences. so in other words, OS on SSD and user home folders under HD.
    I took a weekly Time Machine backup on my WD external drive.
    The MacBook Pro died and I replaced it with MBP (early 2011). I did the same, removed DVD drive, repalce it with the HD and installed SSD in the HD location. I installed Mac OS X 10.6.7 on SSD. Now comes the issue part.
    When I use "Migration Asssistant" (MA) to restore my user profile, and when I choose to restore from Time Machine, MA shows me 2 drives on the backup which is SSD and HD as expected.
    The issue here is when I choose HD and I try to restore Users profile, MA checks free space on SSD and not HD and since my profile is larger than the SSD free space, it doesn't allow me to restore.
    I tried to fool MA by creating the user first, point the home folder to HD and then try to restore, but still MA keeps checking only SSD free space to restore.
    then I logged in as 'root', deleted my profile, used MA to restore SSD. I only choose users and settings from the restore, but not applications. After reboot I checked the users and it did creat my user and pointed the user home folder to HD, now I used MA again to restore to HD, but still the same issue.
    I was carefull to use same exact drive names and usernames so Time Machine won't be confused.
    So any idea how to force MA to restore my profile on HD instead of SSD?

    Install the SSD in an enclosure and connect it to the MBP via USB.
    Open Disk Utility>Erase and format the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then select Disk Utility>Restore.
    Drag the internal HDD to the Source field.  Drag the SSD to the Destination field.  Click on the Restore button.
    This may take a few hours depending upon how much data has to be transferred.
    When complete, Boot the MBP with the OPTION key. 
    Select the SSD and if it boots the MBP, swap the two drives.
    Ciao.

  • HT204032 MacBook Pro with SSD

    I bought a MacBook Pro 13-inch and added to it an Solid State Drive (256GB). Can I use Power Nap?
    What's the difference between Flash Storage Drive and SSD?

    To save space Apple uses hardwired flash memory rather than a "packaged" SSD in the MBPr and Macbook Airs, I don't think ading a third-party SSD has anything to do with whether or not you can run Power Nap.
    If your MBP is supported, you can download the SMC update to activate it. Check HERE for details.
