MBP 15in 2009 upgrading to an intel 320ssd from a windows laptop
So i have a toshiba r705 p35 that has an intel 320 series ssd, and i want to put that ssd in my mbp 15in 2009.
and put the hdd from the mbp in my toshiba.
can anyone help me with how i would go about this ? reformating and stuff
and with the intel 320 series i want to transfer my account from my work imac.
****heres the steps i was thinking of doing*****
remove hdd from MBP
use a sata to usb cable to make a second partition
back up my imac through time machine on to the removed MBP hdd
back up toshiba to another external hard drive
remove intel 320 ssd from toshiba
use sata usb cable to wipe the intel ssd and reformat to be a mac hard drive
install intel 320 ssd in MBP
You can download the SSD firmware at the Intel website. I'm not sure how you check on Windows 7. I try my best to avoid it.
On the Carbon Copy Cloner question, no. The iMac copy is going to be optimized for that machine. That's why I suggested it the way I did. Partition and format the SSD in an external enclosure attached to your MBP, then install the OS to it from there. You can use Carbon Copy to make an image of your iMac to a separate drive, since that's at work. Attach the 2nd drive via the USB enclosure and use Migration Assistant to bring everything over.

Slow boot/startup MBP after Mavericks upgrade
Hi Macbook Pro users out there!
Since upgrading my MBP Mid 2009 from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, a simple system restart takes about 3-5 minutes, compared to about 15-30 seconds before the upgrade. Most of the booting time ist consumed after entering my password.
Some more technical details:
* MBP equipped with SSD and 3.01 GHz Intel Core Duo
* I did a "clean" install from an Mavericks image and used a time machine backup to reinstall apps & docs
* I switched ON file-vault
* volume check shows no errors; access rights check shows a lot of issues, but they cannot seem to be repaired (tried this several times!)
* only few background processes running and no active applications
Does anyone of you have a hint or advice for me, how to speed up the system-boot process? Everything worked perfectly with Mountain Lion. Is anybody experiencing similar problems? What exactly happens after entry of the password, besides loading of active apps and processes? Is there a way to find out, which part of the boot process takes so long?
Thank you for your help in advance!I have a new Macbook Pro 15 Retina, and since installing Bootcamp I have a 3 minute boot time before my password. Bootcamp installation was quite a chore, so I am not wild about wiping out the machine for a clean install, especially if this is a product of Mavericks (I would get the same result). The original clean machine booted in 20 to 30 seconds...just a bit longer than my 2010 MB Pro with Snow Leopard and Bootcamp. I assume there is a diagnostic tool to figure out what is slowing the boot, but I have not found it yet.

I have a IMAC early 2009 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I add more memory so I can upgrade to OS X Mavericks.
Yosemite; back up your data, click here, and read the entire page. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004; some other installed software may also be incompatible.

Purchase Question: MBP Retina 2.3 GHz or MBP 15in 2.6 GHz? As much input as possible preferred.
I want to purchase a new MacBook Pro since mine is from early 2008 and needs replacing. I know some stuff about computers, but definitely not enough to make an informed decision, so I was wondering if anyone could help me decide between these two models: the new MacBook Pro with Retina display (the cheaper one with 2.3 GHz) or the updated MacBook Pro 15in with 2.6 GHz. I just wanted to know which one would overall be better, run faster, hold the most documents/files, etc. I mainly use my laptop for personal usage, such as social media, movies, music, and I use Photoshop & Lightroom in an editing capacity also, but really for personal use, not professional.
So if anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for upgrades I should possibly purchase when ordering my laptop, that'd be helpful as well.It's actually easy to install and purchase parts on your own.
Many on the forums recommend Crucial or OWC to get RAM from, I'll be picking up an 8GB kit from Crucial at some point for my MBP. Apple actually has an article instructing you on how to install your own RAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270 (I should add, for 2011 models and up, 16GB can be used, but is not stated/supported by Apple on that support article)
You can also buy any 2.5 inch drive and fit it to your MBP. It's also relatively easy to install. Additionally, you can (for sure) void your warranty and remove the CD drive to have 2 HDD's in the MBP. Any problems you should run into your parts (memory or HDD) need to be dealt with by the manufacturer and not Apple. For example, if your new drive fails, don't take it to Apple without reinserting the original drive. -
I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?
The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question
If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user. -
It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?
My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

MBP late 2009 getting delays/timeouts while mount/dismount or plug/unplug
sigh
Running a MBP late 2009 with 3GHz, 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD (300GB free).
When I mount/dismount a drive it takes up to 1 min for the finder to respond again (getting the whirling ball).
When I plug/unplug headphones it takes up to 1 min for the finder to respond again
(getting the whirling ball).
Shutting down means it gets to to final screen and stays there for 2 min, then it powers down.
After any restart, it would mount/dismount plug/unplug fast (within 1 or 2 sec's). Then after a few min's, above behaviour starts.
So I do not get any crashes. I get delays where the finder is blocked for up to 1 min.
I updated to 10.6.4 some weeks ago and it started around that time.
What can I do?So I deleted cache files for various apps (incl. finder) and ran several tools (ie. mycleanmac) and still the same behaviour:
Whenever the finder has to update some settings, ie. disks, networks, screens, outputs... it hangs for a full minute and then goes on.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance -
Can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor?
I was wondering can an iMac G4 be upgraded to an Intel processor? This stems from the whole PPC no longer being supported by Adobe Flash etc.
No.
Kappy: That's replacing the computer, not upgrading it.

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro Intel Core Duo to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I opened one of my movie clips in mp4 file it was opened by my MPEG Streamclip and not with the new QuickTime Player that came with the new OS. I need to manually open the Quicktime Player and Open file the mp4 movie I want to play it. I have no problem with the QuickTime Pro that I was using in my previous OS before I upgraded. I did not encounter this problem, however, with my iMac Intel when I upgraded it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The Quicktime Player in my iMac Intel automatically opens my mp4 movies. Only my flv files are opened automatically by my MPEG Streamclip as I expected to. Why?

MBP early 2009 with lion installed can't load AHT!
My MBP early 2009 is crashing often--just seizing up, and mostly when I'm using wi-fi and then when I move the machine.
My theory is a bad wireless card. I'd therefore like to perform the Apple Hardware Test to see.
Sadly, I can't seem to find the right protocol to run it.
I don't have the original install discs that came with the machine, but I have tried using the install disc from an old iMac that has the AHT on it.
but that's not working
any ideas?
my MBP has Lion installed on it, by the way
thanks!
--frustrated in dallas(blush)
I think I misspoke as to which version of MBP I have. I think I have a late 2008 MBP instead.
Does that make a difference? I notice on the manual that came with this version (assuming I know which version I have) that I need only push "D" and AHT will load. I'm about to try that. -
