Old Macbook Died, trying to put old SSD into new Macbook, not working.
I had an old 07 model 17in Macbook pro with a 250g SSD in it. The old macbook finally died so I bought a used 2011 model 17in Macbook Pro that comes with a 500g spinning hard drive.
I would like to move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead) into my new Macbook, but apparently it's not as simple as remove and install. The new Macbook will not boot from my old SSD drive once I put it in. The old SSD was running Mavericks and with data on it which I would like to keep. Any suggestions?
Hello babyharpseal and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
"move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead)"
So you're sure that SSD is working properly? What happened to your '07? and did you keep your Mavericks Installer?
If so:
Update your 2011 to the latest version of Mavericks and place your SSD in an external and do this:
Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
Then insure that your internal is bootable and reinstall Mavericks on your SSD.

This will be a clean install and all data will be erased.
"The OS X Mavericks Installer, available from the (Apple Store)"
No longer true.
Apple will want you to update to Yosemite but I'm currently not recommending that.

"old" site into DW, css not working
I am using DW MX on an existing site that already has and
external css file. The styles show in the browser but not in
display mode in DW. It would be nice to see in both places.
Here is the code:
<link href="hrm_newsletter.css" type="text/css"
rel="stylesheet">
Thanks> The styles show in the browser but not in display mode
Such is the nature of DW MX. Upgrade to CS3 and you'll see
the display is
much more accurate.
BTW did you have a question?

i have a wd my passport which for the last year i was using with my windows pc...but recently i bought a macbook and was trying too put files on it but it wouldnt work....please help!!!
Hi
You need to find the format of the drive by looking at its info, my guess would be you are currently in NTFS (windows only) mac can use any mac os journaled or non journaled, or you can use fat32 which is usable on both pc and mac but is unable to move files over 4GB so no good for large file transfers. You will need to re format at some point but this will delete everything currently on the drive.
Hope this helps -
I exported my iBook and got the .ibooks file on my Desktop(iMac Retina 5K), I tried to put the file into the iBooks application but I get a message that says "The file "______.ibooks" couldn't opened because it isn't in the correct format. I took the same file and transferred it in my MacBook Air and was able to put it in the iBooks application no problem, the MacBook Air runs OS X v 10.9.5
Please advise as to Why it would work on an older OS X version as oppose to the newer OS X Yosemite
Thanks
JPThanks Lyra,
I may be doing something wrong because looking at the "Purchased" in iBooks I only see all the books that I actually purchased, none of the iBooks that I created in iBooks Author shows up. I can re-download all the iBooks I've purchased and some in iCouds, but the ones I've created in iBooks Author are no where to be found.
Any help is much appreciated,
Best Regards,

I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer. Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger. I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.
Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.
I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go. -
Trying to put a file into a table
hello i am trying to put a file into a table but a don't know how to do it if somebody knows how to do it please send me an example.
thanks a lotHi
The easier way is saved the excel file in CSV format and use the fm GUI_UPLOAD to read that file:
DATA: TAB_FILE(1000) OCCURS 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = 'C:\MY_FILE.CSV'
TABLES
DATA_TAB = TAB_FILE.
In TAB_FILE you'll have your file.
If you want to create a dialog to search the file:
parameters: p_file1 like rlgrap-filename.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file1.
data: filetable type filetable,
rc type i.
data wa_file like file_table.
refresh filetable.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
EXPORTING
WINDOW_TITLE =
DEFAULT_EXTENSION =
DEFAULT_FILENAME =
FILE_FILTER =
INITIAL_DIRECTORY =
MULTISELECTION =
WITH_ENCODING =
changing
file_table = filetable
rc = rc
USER_ACTION =
FILE_ENCODING =
exceptions
file_open_dialog_failed = 1
cntl_error = 2
error_no_gui = 3
not_supported_by_gui = 4
others = 5.
if sy-subrc = 0.
if rc = 1.
read table filetable into wa_file index 1.
move wa_file-filename to p_file1.
endif.
endif.
start-of-selection.
DATA: TAB_FILE(1000) OCCURS 0,
file type string.
move p_file1 to file.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = file
TABLES
DATA_TAB = TAB_FILE.

I am trying to put sound fonts into a playable format in garageband. I followed all of the instructions on the sound font help page for Garageband, but I still cannot play the sounds, or get them to show up. Any suggestions?
Sorry, I was confused by your profile signature showing "GarageBand (Mac) '11".
It is very similar in the newest GarageBand 10.0.2:
Enable Audio Units in the GarageBand Preferences > Audio/Midi.
Create a software instrument track.
Show the Smart Controls and click the button.
In the Info panel scroll, to make the Audio Units brick visible and click the "Instrument" control. Select "AuInstrument > Apple > DLSMusicDevice" and click it, to open the settings.
This should show you a panel, where you can select a Sound Bank. Does that show your sound font? -

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
