Problem upgrading HD in MacBook

My wife's MacBook HD filled up.  Rather than spend lots of time making space I decided it was easy to swap out the HD for a larger one and installed an Intel 1T HD.  I think I did everything allright but my first two efforts resulted in kernal crashes on startup.  I re-installed the original HD, deleted all my old Time Machine backups and am in the process (typically taking around 4-5 hrs) of doing it all again.  Maybe this time I'll be lucky but somehow I don't think so.  The main question I have is this:  this device originally came with 160 or 250G HD's, with a maximum I think of 500G.  I wonder if somehow the 1T HD is not compatible.  Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Ok problem finally solved after $50 phone call to Apple.  The key was to insist I be referred to a Time Machine specialist before I would agree to pay.  I had been booting off a Leopard startup disc, formatting the blank HD then under Utililities requesting a "restore" which would appear to work but always resulted in a kernal crash.  Turns out you can't restore a Lion backup that way-have to put Lion on the new HD first or, as I did, create a Lion Recovery Disc on a thumb drive, boot from that and then repeat the process.  All is finally now well although I wish I'd have installed at least 500G rather than the 250G I did.  I kept taking them back thinking they were to big for this Mac model (one source says there is a 500G limit).  Guess I should have started with the 800# guys-actually I did briefly but not one with Time Machine expertise).  Hope my misery helps someone else.

  • Problems upgrading RAM for Macbook Pro 13" late 2011

    First, thank you all for your assistance.
    I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet. I have a 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro that came with a default 4 GB of RAM. I considered upgrading to 8 GB and problems arose: I had stripes 1 inch in lenght distributed across the screen. I've done some research and saw that it was a hardware problem with the Graphics Card/GPU. I switched back to the original 4 GB and so far so good, no problems. I did notice a few key things:
    Originally I have 384 MB of Video Ram in the GPU
    While using the 8 GB Ram upgrade, it said 512 (called my attention)
    It reverted to 384 when switching to the original RAM
    In the tech specs section of Apple Support site about my machine, it says that the Video RAM is "shared" with main memory. No other knowledge on that.
    Could the RAM upgrade affected the memory supported by the GPU? Why did it increase? Is there any solution to this?
    Thanks to everybody in advance.

    It should - I've 16GB of RAM installed in my late 2011 15" and my built-in card now shows 512MB of VRAM. There might have been a problem with the RAM you installed. I would only buy Crucial, Kingston (not the 'value' brand), OWC or Corsair (again, not the 'value' brand).
    Some RAM sellers simply have less than stellar performance using Macs. Make sure that you install the correct speed and specs as recommended by Apple.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Problem Upgrading RAM on MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro (one of the first MacBook Pros) It originally came with 512 RAM. I upgraded my RAM by buying and installing 2 1GB Banks of Crucial RAM, I followed some instructions that I found online (both video and written) and the installation seemed to go fine - the laptop rebooted fine and it seemed to be working fine. When I click on the apple it shows the memory as being 2GB. However, every once in a while my laptop now automatically reboots and one time the screen went completely grey. Obviously I've done something wrong. Any troubleshooting advice would be appreciated.

    put in your original install disk.
    start the machine, while holding down command d
    this will put you into the hardware test.
    run the extended version.
    this will check the integrity of all your hardware, including your ram.

  • I'm having problems with my internet since I have upgraded.  I am afraid to upgrade on my Macbook pro now.  I don't want the upgrade to slow down my laptops.  Any suggestions?

    Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users.  There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

  • Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

    I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced  a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
    Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
    Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
    Thanks so much,
    Anthony

  • Why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks

    why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks?  I do not know what month it was built.  I bought it as a refurbished by Apple a few months ago.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.
    Your iMovie and iPhoto data should be good, but you will have to upgrade the applications.
    If you decide the upgrade isn't worth it, you can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal

    Well yes, may be you are right, I guess this is a serious problem. I am just afraid that taking it to the service will cost much more then the macbook is worth, and I guess that Apple does not care that it happend when I made the upgrade to mountain lion, at leased I could claim the money back for the mountain lion purchase
    Thanks a lot for you help.

  • Issues with sleep/wake feature after 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?

    Just installed a 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro and now it doesn't wake up on it's own when I open the lid. I have to press the power button. It works fine with a smaller RAM upgrade.
    I've tried putting in just one of the 8GB modules and the sleep/wake feature works as normal so there isn't a problem with the RAM modules that I've bought (Crucial.com). I've also put in a combination of Apple's original RAM and the new ones to make 10GB (8GB + 2GB), and the sleep/wake feature works on that too. Put both 8GB modules back in and the MacBook doesn't wake up when I open the lid, I have to press the power button to wake it up. The MacBook itself works fine, super fast and the memory is recognised on 'About This Mac', the sleep/wake issue is the only problem I'm having with the 16GB RAM.
    Any thoughts on this? Has anybody else had this sleep/wake issue like this when upgrading RAM?

    I upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 16 gigs with Crucial. My machine would not sleep properly, because when I tried to wake it, it would wake from its hibernate image file. This is the issue I've seen here in this list.
    I tried all the suggestions I saw on these groups. Nothing helped. I contacted Crucial, who suggested that if their RAM was defective, they'd replace it per their warranty process. I needed some proof it was their RAM causing the problem.
    I put the original 8 gigs RAM back in the machine (2 4 gig sticks), and it behaved normally. I then put one stick of Crucial RAM in, all by itself. The machine behaved normally. I put the other stick of Crucial RAM back in, and took the first one out. The machine would not properly sleep and wake from sleep. This proved that one stick was causing the problem, and the other was not.
    Defective RAM!
    I then requested and received an RMA from Crucial to send the defective RAM back. They paid shipping. I got new sticks of RAM about a week later. These new sticks of RAM work properly. No sleep issues.
    I'm surprised and disappointed to say that this is not the first time I've received defective RAM from Crucial. I've purchased from them for years, and had GREAT service and received high quality products. The past couple years my experience has been different.
    I'm still pretty steamed about this, as I spent a great deal of time trying to diagnose the problem and fix it. I don't really have that kind of time to waste. My expectation was that their RAM was high quality, and unlikely to be at fault.
    Perhaps this is just a bad batch of RAM. I get that. I can forgive them once. But this has happened twice in the past three years. I'll look elsewhere for my next memory purchase.
    Keep in mind that their customer ratings are generally very high. My experience is probably  isolated.

  • Buying Opinion - Upgrade Powerbook vs MacBook Pro

    I'm thinking I may try to upgrade my laptop as my main objective is to get CS4 right now but I have a friend who is selling his MacBook Pro for $900. What's your opinion as you would know better what Macs can handle? My main problem is speed especially with CS programs and I do need a new battery. I have a PowerPC G5 Dual with a large glossy screen for my most intense work that I can do from home. But I like to have a laptop that I can take on the road for working on projects. It's mostly for Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign. So no animation or gaming purposes.
    I have:
    Machine Name: PowerBook G4 17"
    Machine Model: PowerBook5,9
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.67 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.9.5f3
    His computer:
    2.16 ghz Core 2 Duo Processor
    3 GB RAM (Newly upgraded)
    320 GB 7200rpm HDD (Newly upgraded)
    Dual Layer Superdrive (DVD and CD recorder)
    15.4" 1440x900 Widescreen Glossy Display
    128MB ATI x1600 Video
    DVI-VGA adapter Cable
    Apple Wireless Remote
    Brand new battery
    It includes OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, iLife 09, and iWork 09, all part of the "Mac Box Set," so this is all legal software.
    The original box, discs and documentation are all included.
    The condition of the system is excellent with one minor exception - there seems to be a very slight bend in the casing underneath the expresscard slot. One of my photos shows it.
    Do you think it's doable with what I have (and what could I do?) or should I go with the newer MacBook and save myself the headache? What's the main difference with the computers?
    Thanks everyone!
    Tiffany

    Re: Buying Opinion - Upgrade Powerbook vs MacBook Pro
    You can get a brand new MacBook for $999 so don't bother with the used one. For the price difference, save up and buy new MacBook Pro for $1199. Faster than Macbook. Shop around. Everyone is discounting. You might get free ram upgrades (unless you're getting free ram, buy separately and install yourself), free shipping. Try Epercom, CDW and Small Dog in addition to Apple. If you go to Apple store don't be shy about asking for a 10% business discount. I asked and got one for my imac last summer.
    He's offering it at $900...does that seem like a fair price for what I'd get?

  • Tried to upgrade HD in Macbook Pro 15" mid 2009.

    Tried to upgrade HD in MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009.  Upgrade HD is WD 1TB (WD10JPVT).  Installed from scratch in a USB container.  Within that container the disk boot and ran fine.  The problem started when I installed in the computer.  The disk boots fine, but runs EXTREMELY slow.  I have reset the system management controller and PRAM.  Any suggestions?

    That could explain the lag. Go into Disk Utility, click on the storage DEVICE (above the Macintosh HD volume), then check how it shows up in the specs on the bottom of the window. MUST say:
    Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
    If not, you will have to repartition (click on the Options button, may need to delete the current partition) and format again. No other way.

  • Problems upgrading to 10.8

    Are there any disadvantages or potential problems upgrading
    my late 2012 Macbook Pro from 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion?

    None that I know of. 
    If you're running "invasive" software like anti-virus I could see it causing problems, but generally not if it's up to date.

  • Upgrading an 13" MacBook 10.4.11

    Hello,
    I need to upgrade my trusty old MacBook as it cannot have iTunes version I need for my Iphone to sync properly, and I seem to be coming across more and more "os 10.5 or higher required" messages. Am I right in thinking Snow Leopard is the way to go? Also, I really have no idea of backing up- what is the cheapest way of doing it, I have lots of photos -would be devastated to lose them. My husband has an iMac - can I use it to back-up?  Also, are printer drivers generally upgrade-able on-line, or is this likely to mean new printer, too?
    Many thanks
    Olga

    You can connect to your husband's iMac with a Firewire cable and use Target Mode to transfer your stuff over to his Mac. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    You'll need a FireWire cable 6 pin to 6 pin if you both have FireWire 400. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_8?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field- keywords=firewire+cable&sprefix=firewire%2Caps%2C164
    You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... You would find the updated drivers on the printers website. And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/   I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $150
    Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air - mail with 32MB attachment appearing in "recovered messages" folder every 12 seconds

    Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air
    3 days ago I failed to send a mail with a large (32MB) attachment - and it is no longer in my outbox, draft mails or sent file.
    BUT a copy of this same mail now appears every about 15 seconds in my "recovered messages" folder
    I noticed when I received a system error saying I had a disk almost full issue - there were over 580 copies of the mail with 32MB attachment in the "recovered messages file"
    I deleted them all, and deleted the Trash
    BUT the message still keeps re-appearing every 15 seconds or so.  So I keep deleting them.
    Since then I have not been able to receive mail (altho' I am able to send) and Mail is VERY slow
    I am running MAC OS X 10.6.8
    I am running Mail version 4.6 (1085)

    Also here's the log before it happened. As you can see there is no activity from 9:48 to 10:00 am when the sound occurred.

  • I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having a problem with my 2009 Macbook Pro .  A few weeks ago I plugged it into the charger after running it down to reserve battery power. It appeared to be charging, but then all of a sudden my clock and calender reset to year 2000 and then my computer blacked out and went dead. I tried to boot it up but nothing happened (literally nothing).   I have tried 3 different chargers on it, but all I get is a faint green light and even after hours it still won't boot up.   I have tried replacing the battery, but still nothing happens.
    Any Ideas?  I am pretty desperate to get my computer back up and running before school finals.

    You may have to see if an authorized Apple service specialist can check over
    the charging system (magsafe dc-in board, power adapter, and MacBook/Pro)
    and test or run a diagnostic on it, to be sure there is no damage or failed parts.
    When you attached the adapter to charge the computer, after it said it was going
    to reserve power, did you shut down open applications and stop using the MB/Pro?
    That would've been the thing to do, since the margin of run-time near the bottom
    of the power cycle can be wrong by the gauge estimate, it can just quit.
    While I have not researched your year/model/series in detail, I do know some
    models of Apple portable computers have a small battery or capacitor on the
    logic board, separate from the main power battery; it may need replacement.
    A service provider w/ Apple training & parts would be a likely resource to fix it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    PL/SQL Web Toolkit Version: 10.1.2.0.4

    Background:
    This is a lab host. I am working through the full installation process so that I can set up XE and Apex on development and production hosts, the end in mind being to develop a simple application using XE/Apex instead of Access 2003, which is used heavily in this shop.
    It seems to me that upgrading to Apex 3.1 would be a good thing to do up front instead of developing in the version which ships with XE (2.1, I believe) and performing the upgrade later.
    I installed XE going with full defaults. Nothing at all tricky. I was able to connect to http://localhost:8080/apex without any trouble and log in as system.
    I then followed these Apex upgrade instructions, very carefully:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
    After I ran into trouble (see below), I reviewed this post and used it to double-check my work:
    How to upgrade to Apex 3.1
    I have worked through this a number of times, each time ending up with the same error.
    The Problem...
    After the upgrade, when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/apex, I receive the following error:
    wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
    wwv_flow.err wwv_flow.app_not_found_err
    OK
    I reviewed this posting, which suggests that I upgrade my PL/SQL Web Toolkit:
    apex 3.0 error wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err after new installation
    I am perfectly willing to try this, but I am not sure how to obtain the latest correct version of the web toolkit for this particular version of the database. Any tips on where I might find this?
    I also note that the posting says there should be 10 SQL files in the apex/builder directory. I only have 5, but I just downloaded this zip file a few days ago and assume this is the correct number of files. If it isn't, where could I find the correct zip?
    Any other suggestions about the root cause of this issue would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Well, like Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have elminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Or, something like that.
    Thanks Joel, it was the files. I examined the zip file I originally downloaded and, sure enough, there were 10 files. I extracted it again and, for some reason, this time it only pulled one of the SQL files out, not even five as it did the first time. In addition, it also skipped about half the language folders.
    To get it work, I used the windows built-in zip to open the file, navigated to the apex/builder folder, selected all of the SQL files and language folders, then copied and pasted them into c:\apex\builder.
    I then restored the database, ran the install again, and everything worked just fine: I can access http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin and log in.
    I'm not sure what the issue is, a problem with the zip file or (ok, more likely) a problem with the built-in windows zip tool. I used 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the file on my workstation and all 10 files and 9 language folders came out just fine.
    The bottom line is, it works now, thanks again for the help.

    PS - I did not install the web toolkit upgrade.
