My SSD install in Lion shows no TRIM support.  How do I fix?

Hi folks.  I had my new 2011 mini upgraded with an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD drive.  I checked for TRIM support after a clean install of Lion and it says No.  How do I fix this?  Thanks.

I think some want to believe TRIM is needed; or, it was with older model SSDs.
The TRIM Enabler has a change log, and history of sorts.
SATA-IO has said that 3.1 specification will incorporate TRIM into NCQ (command queueing) going forward now that it is final and adopted which is a much better solution.
The lack of free space or having to reuse storage cells (a month's worth is a good number) and the background garbage collection will take care of your drive.
I would not. OWC does not recommend its use, and they just use Sand Force controller and firmware also.
Also, a lot of PC users set motherboard RAID, TRIM is not supported in RAID configurations, and that seems to be fine.
My Corsair SSDs (5) are 6 months and going strong.

  • MBA, SSD, Windows 7 (or XP) and TRIM support

    I have a 2011 MBA with an SSD and I want to install Windows 7 as a VM and/or Boot Camp.  Does the MBA SSD need TRIM support?  What's the best way of installing Windows 7, VM or BC, in terms of keeping the SSD healthy?
    Will not having TRIM support cause SSD performance problems down the road?
    Is installing XP a good or bad idea on a MBA SSD?
    TIA

    You have TRIM support on your MBA.
    You should have no issues on any of the scenarios you contemplate.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

    Only way is if you made a backup of your system before you installed Mt Lion.
    Or if your system came with Lion Pre-Installed you boot to the online recovery system, Hold down Command+option+r at startup until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen.

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul

  • After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

    After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

    Peter
    Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards

    That's not a valid path. You must have tampered with the system, or used some kind of "utility" that did. You should do a clean reinstallation of the OS after backing up your data and erasing the boot volume. Be sure not to restore whatever that is.

    Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
    Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
    Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

  • Clean install of Lion? PLEASE tell me how. (Yes, I've looked but...!)

    Hi,
    Following a recent purchase of a used macbook pro with 10.7.3 installed I want to do a complete erase and clean install (it's double partitioned and has loads of junk I want rid of). I have searched this forum and found several suggested methods, none of which do the job fully, either because they assume a level of knowledge I don't have or don't correspond to what I see before me.
    Can someone please give me the definitive for an erase and install of Lion.
    Oh btw, a lot seems to rely on me knowing where is the  OS X Lion installer, I've searched but can't find it. I have no installation discs.
    Thank you so much if you can help!

    Thanks for that, but... the problem seems to be that I cannot find the Lion installer.
    According to: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Install OS X Lion
    If you completed your installation of OS X Lion, your installer may have been removed after your successful first login to OS X Lion. Mac App Store's Purchases page should show Install Mac OS X Lion as being "Installed", and disallow its download, when viewed from a computer running OS X Lion.
    To redownload the installer on a computer running OS X Lion, press and hold the Option key while you click the Purchases tab. If the button to the right of the Install Mac OS X Lion item doesn't change to "Install" and allow you to download Lion, use Spotlight to search for "Install Mac OS X Lion" on your computer.
    Launch the Install Mac OS X Lion installer you downloaded from Mac App Store. The installer should be in the /Applications folder.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the Lion installation. Be sure you install Lion on the external storage device you've connected for this purpose, not your computer's boot drive.
    When installation to your external device is complete, you can re-run Install Mac OS X Lion installer and upgrade the boot drive of your computer. A Recovery HD will likely not be created, but if you need to reinstall or repair your boot drive at a later date, you can connect the external drive you just prepared and hold Command-R while restarting computer in order to boot from the external Recovery HD.
    Please note that Recovery HD must be present on your computer's startup volume to use FileVault 2 (not an external Recovery HD).

  • Clean install of Lion....now how to get back my

    I did a clean install of Lion on a bare drive. I prefer this much more than the upgrade from Snow Leopard. There's no lag and the system is speedier by comparison.
    I have my full back up of Lion prior to the reinstall on Time Machine. I plugged Time Machine back and tried to reintall some files, but instead is ready to add to the back ups, doesn't prompt to format the drive, and I can't go back to put my photos, music, videos, and etc. I also want to restore Keychains since I have used it over the past year for all my online accounts.
    Any suggestions is very much appreciated.

    I looked up smiliar questions on the groups here. I managed to retrieve most of my data from my old Lion upgrade from Time Machine. The one thing I can't retrieve is keychain.login from Time Machine which as I understand has all my passwords. I used the Option key to find the user directory, but I can't find it through Time Machine. If worse comes to worse I still have my old Lion back up and I can restore that. I like this cleaner install because as I stated above it's quicker.

  • My Eye Dropper STILL does not work in CS5 while using Lion with one monitor. How can i fix this?!?

    Hello everyone!
    This is my first post because i have grown very disgruntled at the fact that my eye dropper does not work my Premiere CS5. I would use the Ultra Key a lot but now I obviously can not really use it too well because of no eye dropper. I saw that this problem existed after the Lion update but this really should have been fixed by now. I am using only one monitor also. Is there a way to fix this or is this still known to be broken? I paid good money for CS5 and would be very upset if the only way around this is to pay MORE money to upgrade to CS5.5. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response Stephen! I find this very bad on Adobe's part though if they do not feel obligated to fix CS5 for Lion. Eye dropper is a major part of Premiere and i am going to be very dissapointed if they do not fix that. With the amount of money the Suite costs, they definitly should make sure it runs well for quite a few years. I would expect a copy of CS4 to be able to work too. If they do not fix CS5 all because the OS has changed basically tells me that every 2 years or so, they stop caring about their product.
    Sorry i sound so bitter about this but it has really hurt my workflow. Ultra key is great and something that FCP does not have so it has the edge in that respect, but now i can not even properly use it. I have to go into After Effects with the same clip, use that eyedropper to get the correct color # and then copy and paste the # into Ultra Key in Premiere which is very very annoying and slows down my system quite a bit.
    So basically, they are probably not going to ever fix this? Thanks again

  • HT204088 Purchased items not showing up...How do I fix this??!!

    I want to access my purchased music and not all of my purchased items are showing up. Only my  most recent purchases are there. How do I fix this??!!

    iTunes Store and App Store items are only available in the cloud in the country storefront where they were purchased. If you've changed the country associated with your account, your old purchases won't appear on your Purchased page.
    Another reason you might not see purchases in the cloud is because you may have hidden them. For information about hiding and unhiding purchases, see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Another possibility is that you have more than one iTunes Store account and that the music in question was actually purchased using another Apple ID.
    Or ... the missing music has been modified in or removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it and as a result, is no longer eligible for  subsequent download via iTunes in the Cloud.
