New SSD: How to get into Recovery?

Hi,
I am going to be installing a SSD into my 2011 15" Macbook Pro. After I install the SSD, how should I boot into OS X Recovery? Should I use Internet Recovery even though my Mac came with OS X 10.7; Now running 10.10.1? Or should I create an OS X Recovery USB Drive? Once I get into Recovery, I will use my Time Capsule restore to my SSD.

Hi mikecao2000,
As OS X Recovery is dependent on having the recovery parition on your MacBook Pro's current working hard drive present, you will be unable to use this once that drive is removed. See this article about using Recovery -
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Note that if you use Internet Recovery, the original OS X version that came with the computer (in your case Mac OS X 10.7 Lion) will be reinstalled.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

    Then you are out of luck.
    Take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement or find a local repair shop.  Without a functioning power button it is impossible to determine if the issue is the battery or something else.

    win8 should be installed on the big HDD.
    If you have enough computing skills Win8.1 Update could be installed on the small SSD using the new feature - WimBOOT.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Alter a BAPI Result Table, how to get into the display "loop" ?

    Hello all,
    i have a problem regarding the result rows of a RFC/BAPI Call.
    There are three views, let's say 1,2,3. In View 1, i call a BAPI, and display the results in a table in View 2. I added a button in each row, which calls View 3 and displays some details concerning the selected row.
    I now want to store a flag for each row, that has been displayed in this way.
    In View 3 i store the key value of the displayed row in an own value node in the context.
    When i go back from View 3 to View 2, i want to see that flag (in an extra column) in every row, that has been selected in this session.
    So i do not know, how to alter a single row in the BAPI result table, how to get into the "loop" that is used by WD to display the table.
    already tried a supply function, but i was not able to alter single rows.
    Any suggestions/tips or perhaps code fragments of working supply functions ?
    Thank you !

    Hello,
    I'm not sure whether I understood your problem correctly, but I will try to give an answer.
    The easiest way I see is to copy the RFC Results to a Component Controller Context structure with an additional Flag field. You can use WDCopyService for copying.
    Then on the event of selecting you set your flag as appropriate for you (e.g. if you want to use an image as flag you set the Image path) on the current element of your table. Then display View 3.
    On going back View 2 should show now the new flag values...
    The trick is to copy the values (as at Time structures can not be expandend with new fields) and set the Flag on the onSelect event.
    Hope this helps,
    Frank

  • Help!!! How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option?

    How to get the recovery time of transient response of a power supply with Labview basic package without analysis option? Does anyone have any idea or some similar function SUBVIs?
    Recovery time of transient response is defined as the time from the beginning of the transient to the voltage point on the waveform fallen into 10percent of the overshoot. Well, the waveform is something like a pulse with a soft slope.

    I recommend plotting your data on a graph on paper. Take a look at the data, and determine what is unique about the point you are looking for. Look for how you can teach your program to look for this point.
    I have written several algorithms that do similar, one in fact being for a power supply, the other being for RPM. Neither algorithm used any advanced analysis tools. They are just a matter of determining, mathematically, when you achieve what you are looking for. Just sit down with your graph (I recommend multiple copies) and draw horizontal and vertical lines that determine when you get to the point you are looking for. You are probably going to have to reverse the array and start from the end, so think in those terms.
    If you have trouble, emai
    l me a bitmap of the graph, and what you are looking for and I will try to be of further assistance. Don't do that however; until you you have given this a few tries. Your solution should be involve a lot of logic on analog levels.
    Good luck

  • I can get into recovery through pressing 0 or f12

    My laptop is Toshiba Setellite s55t-b5260.
    I want to recover my OS system. I tried to press 0 or f12 when start the laptop to get into recovery. However, nothing happens. The laptop just start as usual.
    Can anyone tell me whether I didn't follow the right process or there is something wrong with the laptop?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just want to know whether F12 or 0 method can work on my laptop. In case of system failure, I can recover through this way.
    The best way to prepare for this is to create recovery media. See p. 47 in the User's Manual. You can use that to reach the recovery environment or to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Select the Repair option when you boot it to reach the recovery environment.
    Another way to prepare is to use Windows 8.1 to create a repair flash drive. (Optical discs are no longer used for this in Windows 8.1.)  This feature is built into Windows, but may turn out to be the same as what Toshiba provides for your OEM version.

    Otherwise, F12 should work during boot. Scroll down to THROUGH F12 AT STARTUP here. But some report difficulty with that (as you have).

    LOST PASSCODE
    You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    Otherwise read this
    If that doesn’t work  you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. Or read:
