Please suggest ~ 512GB SSD that definitely works with the MBP 15" mid'09

Hello,
I tried to upgrade the original Hitachi 5K500 HDD with the Plextor PX-512M5P SSD and I got all those freezes, lockups and beach-balling. The system became unusable over time.
Please, suggest ~ 512 GB (modern) SSD that will definitely work with that buggy MCP79 SATA controller. As I understand, I need a drive that could be locked to SATA-I.
Thanks.

Fast way is to go to OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see which SSDs they offer for that model...those will have been tested and guaranteed to work.

  • Is there an HDR plug in that will work with the 64 bit version of PSE 13?

    Is there an HDR plug in that will work with the 64 bit version of PSE 13?  I was hoping that NIK HDR Pro2 would work since Elements 13 is now 64 bit, but unfortunately, that is not the case.

    I am not sure if this will help, but if you haven't already checked the settings in the Audio MIDI Setup utility, try 'em out. Most people don't know that utility exists, but it has additional audio routing/muting options that are not in Sound system preferences.

  • Any Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?

    Is there a version of Skype Video that will work with the A1 ?
    Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

    Skype works wonderfully on the HTC Thunderbolt. The Tegra single core is just fine. It's not the chip, it's this device. As I've written as well, playback of any video is poor and any HD video is unwatchable. The phone plays HD video reasonably smoothly.
    The Skype issue is the same - the app sees that it is video capable but cannot find the front facing camera (or any camera for that matter.) I'm surprised to find that video functions on this device don't work very well. Hopefully the company will be behind supporting this device. I'm surprised that it has Gingerbread only but you can't expect them to dump these out without having made sure they worked properly just for simple things that have worked properly on comparable devices.

  • Is there a USB 3.0 Hub that really works with the Mac Mini?

    My Mac Mini's four USB 3.0 ports work fine with my four USB Seagate GoFlex 3.0 hard drives. The drives mount at startup, and perform at expected USB 3.0 speeds. But, when I connect the drives to a USB 3.0 HUB to free up the Mac's USB ports for other devices, typically two of the USB Seagate drives will mount at startup, but two won't. There's a fix for this: after startup, I simply disconnect AC power from the drives that didn't mount, and reconnect the power a few seconds later. Now all my drives are mounted, they perform properly, and other USB devices connected to other Mac Mini USB ports (a mouse, a USB midi interface) work just fine as well. It's annoying, though, to have to perform this extra disconnect-reconnect step every time. I've tried two different USB 3.0 HUBs -- one from Uspeed and one from Satechi -- and I have exactly the same problem with both. Question: Is anybody else experiencing the same thing with a late 2012 Mac Mini and a USB 3.0 Hub? Has anybody found a 3.0 Hub that doesn't have this issue with the Mac Mini?

    The USB 3.0 hub instability problems extend beyond the Mac-Mini, as addressed below.
    At long last we're seeing progress in getting 2012 Macs to work with USB 3.0 hubs. As discussed on this and other discussion groups I've had a horrible time with my MacBook Pro Retina  being unstable with USB 3.0 hubs. I know many of you have also or you wouldn't be reading this posting. 
    In June 2012 I bought one of the first 2012 MacBook Pro's with a Retina display. It's been a battle since with Apple selling what appears to be an incompatible or unstable system to effectively communicate with the USB 3.0 hubs. You'll see vendors now making comments that Apple is the source of the problem.
    I've been through USB 3.0 issues with two MacBook Pro Retina laptops. I've also tested a Uspeed hub, with 3 portable USB 3.0 drives connected, at the Apple Store. This was on a newer model MacBook Pro Retina, and also on a 27" iMac. All had instances where drives failed to mount during the short period allowed for testing. (Because of time constraints, we were unable to test at the Store for spontaneous and unprovoked unmounting of drives connected to the hub. These problems have existed since the beginning on my rMBP.)
    I am now on my 20th hub that has been purchased, or provided for testing. They varied from 4-Port to 10-Port powered hubs and involved 11 brand names. Comments were posted on Amazon, Tiger, and others for most of the ones purchased, and some that were tested. Some, like the HooToo specifically warned against use with Macs in the manufacturer's manual and, as I learned, for good reason. That was reflected in my comments for the drive on Amazon.
    The Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 powered aluminum-finish hub that I have been testing since October 13 was provided  by Plugable after the first one, purchased through Amazon, was returned as unreliable. This 3rd, and newer generation Plugable hub uses the VIA VL812 chipset with the new version 90.81 firmware. My experience over the last 4+ weeks with this hub has been solid. While there have been problems with Eject errors, none were traced to the hub electronics. (Problems with intermittent connections at the cable connectors  appeared to be the cause of the disconnect errors. Almost all of the failures were traced to intermittent Micro-B connectors, but that's another story.)
    In addition to the greatly improved reliability of this hub, I find several features of this Plugable to be a plus including:
    The plug engages fully to the "hilt" when plugged into the hub giving a solid connection, as occurs on the MacBook Pro Retina USB 3.0 ports. Others hubs typically had a gap between the "hilt" of the connecting end, and the hub allowing for lateral movement. With some hubs this allowed for intermittent connections if the cable was disturbed.
    The on/off switch on the hub allows the hub to be powered down when not in use.
    The full size Type-B connectors on the cable at the hub end engage solidly. Hubs with Micro-B connectors have presented intermittent connections in the cable connector.
    The aluminum case looks attractive with Macs, IMO, but not a reason to buy.
    Overall, Plugable's support is the best I've encountered. I've found their response to questions to be prompt and thorough. This, coupled with their online support articles has put them at the top of my list. They provide news and information that I've not found with other hub vendors.
    The article titled "Plugable USB 3.0 7 Port Hub Firmware History" at the below link gives insight into the history of the problems that we've been having with the USB 3.0 hubs on Macs and the firmware updates, regardless of the brand of hub you have.  Apparently, if you have the VIA VL 812 chipset, firmware version 85.81, you're in safe territory.
    http://plugable.com/2013/10/30/plugable-usb-3-0-hub-firmware-upgrades2
    (One of the Plugable hubs appears identical to the black 7-Port Uspeed hub, and both use the VIA VL 812 chipset. They appear to be from the same manufacturer with the real difference appearing to be in the VL812 version of the firmware in the hub.)
    Some of the firmware can be upgraded, and some can't. Contact Plugable or Anker if you're affected.
    Uspeed has made improvements, but they were still unstable as of the last one I received for testing. In her last reply on 10/13/13 Sunnie with AnkerDirect Customer Support stated:
    Unfortunately, the new Firmware version (908x) does not work with the model "68UNHUB-B7U" you have. The hub bellow has much less complaints about Mac issue. We suggest that you order this one.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Z9M3DY
    AnkerDirect Customer Support
    Note that the above hub recommended by Anker has an 8th port just for charging iOS devices. Some will see this as a plus. However, the lack of such a port is not seen as a big problem. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to purchase extra 5V power adapters for charging, which is my preference. Plugging and unplugging devices on a hub that is powered "On" presents the potential for movement of the cables. This could interrupt a cable connection  and disconnect a drive during data transfer resulting in corrupted files. With 7 and 10 port hubs, and all the cables needed, this gets risky.
    I believe the USB 3.0 hub issues we're having are the result of poor design of the Mac's USB 3.0 implementation at the start. Unstable hubs that I've had a friend with Windows 7 test, said they "performed like a dream" on his PCs. This indicates the problem is with Macs, not the (twenty) hubs I've used.
    A statement from a support person dealing with USB 3.0 hubs tells what's I've long suspected: " -- the evidence is pointing to something specific to the Apple design (perhaps external to the chipset, like the signal re-driver….."
    If you're having USB 3.0 problems, be sure to let Apple know by sending in a Feedback comment to Apple at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 
    I'm told they read and treat the feedback seriously (although the duration of this USB 3.0  problem makes me wonder if Mavericks and iOS 7 haven't had a higher priority and distracted from this. Microsoft got USB 3.0 right, how about it Apple?)

  • I'm looking for a compact flash card reader that will work with the ipad 4 with the lightning port. please help?!

  • Is there a stylus that will work with the iq500?

    I have an iq500 and i need a stylus to do more precise selections while working with adobe photoshop.  i purchased a cheap aluminum stylus with a narrow plastic tip and it has trouble being sensed by the screen.  it would disconnect often while im draging and will not sense at all at the bottom of the screen.  it works better if i tilt at an angle for a larger surface area but its very inconvenient.
    has anyone found a stylus that will work?
    do stylus with buttons work with this?
    Should i just get a fatter stylus, or does it have to be a special one, like a magnetic stylus?
    Thanks!

    Don't use a magnet! You should never put a magnet up to a screen.
    You can use almost anything as a stylus because of the way the HP TouchScreen technology works - it uses cameras instead of circuits.
    You finger works pretty darn good, but I sometimes like to use the eraser end of new pencil because it keeps the fingerprints down.

    Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

    I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
      Thanks :)

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

  • Which camcorders work with the MBP

    I want to get a hard disk camcorder but I am not sure which ones will work easily with my MBP. Any suggestions or first hand experience?
    -Scott

    For use with iMovie or Final Cut the answer is easy. None of them. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bupkus. Goose Egg.
    They record to a hard disk in MPEG-2 and not DV which is what iMovie wants. The quality is worse than DV tape as well.
    You can use MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 component to edit (*), and save the resulting files and use Toast to make DVD's. Some people will upconvert using Streamclip to DV for editing in iMovie but really if you want DV to edit, then buy DV.
    (*) Edit means cutting and trimming. No titles, no effects, no transitions, no color correction, nothing.
    All of them work similarly, you shoot the clips then mount the whole camera as a USB drive and drag off the movie files - on a JVC Everio they are called .MOD files but they are just MPEG-2 files and can be renamed .MPG if you like.
    They do record quite a lot though - I have a JVC and it records 7 hours + at a 10 mbps bitrate which is higher bitrate than a commercial DVD and at the lowest setting over 30 hours (bad quality) but for proper video editing I shoot on a Canon Optura Xi DV tape camera.
    Most current DV tape cameras work fine with iMovie or Final Cut.

  • How is possible that Siri works with the iphone blocked?

    I believe that it is a security problem because anyone could call or send a SMS (for example) in spite of being blocked the iPhone.
    Regards

    Hey Blacklord,
    You can prevent access to Siri when your iPhone is locked by following these directions:
    Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked: Go to Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint (iPhone 5s) or Settings > General > Passcode Lock (other models). You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions on page 35.

  • I have an apple id. that only works with the German store. But I am English speaking only...what should I do?

    I have an apple id. but that always takes me to the German store, I live in Berlin. But I am English speaking only...what should I do?

    Learn German?
    You can only use the Store for the country in which you reside.  I have never looked at the German store so I don't know what it offers.  It is possible there is limited Eglish offerings but Apple is basically limited by what the distributors will present to them, and probably by what will actually sell.

  • Is there a (fat) client that will work with the Iplanet calendar system?

    We are going to Campus Pipeline which uses IPlanet for the calendar. We are going to be going from the Netscape Calendar server ti IPlanet as part of this change. Our faculty/staff are use to using the Netscape (fat) client to access their calendars. Is anything like this available for accessing IPlanet?

    Outlook could be thought of as a fat client for ics, using the sync tool. But the "native" access is the web client, and I would encourage people who don't have other reasons for using Outlook to use it. With Outlook you can sync your own calendar, and access free/busy times of anyone, but you can't open other calendars or do other operations.

    Several years ago I purchased a desktop Labtec microphone that plugs into the computer jack. It is not a Logitech product.
    After all these years, it is still working helping me generating great narrations with various versions of Premiere Elements on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. I am not sure if the brand/model is still around and whether or is compatible with Mac.
    When I first went looking for a desktop microphone, I could not find a USB type that worked. But, it took me a while to find the "right" desktop microphone even for the ones that plug into the computer jack.
    I will post this Adobe link for narration in case you ever need it.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSED45334D-D309-445e-AF34-2AB3E3CCAA8D. html
    But, I would mention something that you might want to consider if all else fails...if your preferred microphone works with it,, create your narrations with the free audio editor named Audacity and then import the .wav narrations into Premiere Elements with Premiere Elements Get Media/Files and Folders.
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
    We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.
