Problems With Macbook Pro HD Change

Hey guys,
I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro Unibody i5 and I have recently tried a fresh install with my snow leopard disc, however when I boot from disc, I just get the grey screen and cant run the installers. From researching the net its alledgedly to do with my hardware being newer then the software on the disc.
My main concern here is that I want to change my HD to an SSD and will obviously need a fresh install. If i change the HD, will I be able to install OSX from this disc or will I need a different software package?
I dont have the original disc's anymore, I have recently moved home from Uni and cant find the box or the discs. I have tried to contact apple to get replacements but Im having no luck!
Any feedback is really appreciated!
Thank you,

Star,
Do you have a Time Machine back-up? When I bought my SSD, I started up with a Lion Installer on a USB flash drive, re-inited the SSD, and installed everything from my Time Machine back-up, all with no problems. If you don't have a TM back-up, I suggest getting an inexpensive drive that will be about twice as large as your SSD and backing up. Then I would invest in Lion, downloaded from the App Store and making a USB boot drive. Boot from the USB drive, restore your backup to the new SSD, ad you'll be in business. Depending on the size of your current drive and the SSD, you should be able to get a backup disk fairly cheap and a 8GB USB drive ($8 or under) and get the Lion upgrade for $30. You can then use Lion DiskMaker to create the boot drive.
Hope this helps,
Clinton

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    This, Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70, is the current version of Flash. It should work with Snow Leopard or later.

  • Problem with Macbook Pro at startup

    Hello, I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running OSX Lion 10.7.4 and I have a problem at start up: battery and wifi icon on the status bar take long to appear, even though they are running, and sometimes as they appear the audio freezes, so I have to reboot and hope audio is ok. Yesterday I had to rebook 3 times until everything was allright. I post here my log. I anticipate that yesterday I downloaded Parallels, which the guys from the shop uninstalled months ago, to run the uninstaller. In this way I have deleted all files and also the application preferences as well.

    Ok, I've done it, but the situation is still the same, even though the last 3 or 4 times that I have rebooted the audio worked fine, but that could be a casuality.
    Disconnect all external hardware (Walcom tablet for instance) and run through this list and stop after #16 and come back to report and/or proceed to #17 and further if it warrants it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    There is a madness to the order of the steps, it's designed to narrow down your issue from hardware down to something lurking in your user account folder
    So far I read the Walcom tablet is causing some issues, however that might not be the primary cause.

  • Problems with macbook pro

    Strongly make noise fans, battery to 98%, is not opened basket and finder!!! Mountain lion 10.8.3

    If this is of any interest to you, I will add that I just received my new 2.4 15-inch MacBook Pro on Wednesday (ordered on 7/31). I love it. I also owned five different powerbooks through the years prior to this, so I'm obviously someone who is both enthusiastic about and comfortable with Macs (keep that in mind).
    They do list the amount of time they'll need BEFORE shipping, but if that's an issue you can always try someplace like macmall, who can overnight one to you if they have them in stock (last time I checked they did). That does prevent you from making any customized changes to your machine however.
    So far, I haven't encountered any of the problems being discussed here. The computer does get warm (just like my titanium and aluminum powerbooks), but if that's a big concern just get a MacBook. That material doesn't transmit heat like these do. I perused these boards quite a bit beforehand to familiarize myself with the situation, like yourself. From prior powerbook ownership, I know to remind myself that this is a place people come when they have problems. I really think Ned's hospital analogy is a good one. Also remember, many of the issues being posted here are caused by something the people are doing wrong or just don't realize there is an easy fix for.
    My non-scientific guess at the breakdown of people on the boards is as follows:
    60% - people having problems who'd never be here otherwise
    20% - super knowledge mac-heads who like to help others
    15% - mac users who like to expand their knowledge
    5% - people simply working out other issues (anger, loneliness, etc.)

  • Problem with macbook pro keyboard - MID 2011

    Hi all, I have problems with my macbook pro keyboard.
    I have several keyboard letter that bother me, the letters are e,y,d,h,c & n
    When I hit letter 'e', it will come out as 'ey'..
    When I hit letter 'y', it will come out as 'ey'..
    When I hit letter 'd', it will come out as 'dh'..
    When I hit letter 'h', it will come out as 'dh'..
    When I hit letter 'c', it will come out as 'cn'..
    When I hit letter 'n', it will come out as 'cn'..
    please help me out..?

    If it turns out to be a hardware problem with the keyboard and the repair is done through Apple, be prepared for a sticker-shock price to fix it. The problem is that Apple considers the keyboard as an integral part of the top-half of the aluminun enclosure (it's called the top case & is CNC milled and quite complex)...to Apple, it is considered one-piece and one part number (top case). The keyboard is held onto the top case with many (~60) very tiny screws and this entire top case is the part that will be replaced. They will NOT replace only the keyboard.
    I had the power button quit on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13". To fix it through Apple would've cost well over $500. The power button is part of the keyboard assembly (it's not removable from the keyboard and uses the same flex cable assembly) so the keyboard itself needs to be changed. I found the exact replacement keyboard on eBay for ~$30 and changed it myself. There is absolutely nothing trivial about replacing it. It was a huge pain in the butt, especially swapping the keyboard on the top case with all of those teenie-tiny screws. It took me the better part of a day to do it but I've had experience with this type of work for at least 20 years now. If I need to do it again for some reason, it will likely be quicker.
    Just beware that a repair could cost some big bucks, even if it's only "just the keyboard".

  • IMessage and USB problems with MacBook Pro (Maverick)?

    Since I updated my MacBook Pro (2011) to Maverick I have had problems with imessage not working. I also can't use my USB ports for my printer, card reader or external disk. USB ports work together with my iPad and iPhone. Does anybody out there have an idea about what I can do to fix these things? Many thanks in advance.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Bluetooth speaker problems with Macbook Pro

    Hi all,
    I have just purchased a blue tooth speaker for my home, and am having chronic issues with the speakers cutting out when using my Macbook Pro.  Sometimes it works ok, and then all of a sudden it's choppy and barely able to play.   Also, I can barely move the speakers 10 feet away without starting to lose the signal. But even at super close range there is some choppyness at times (and sometimes it's pretty bad).   I have an Iphone, and the speakers work perfectly with it.  I have tried the speakers with my dad's Ipad and it works fantastic... In both cases (Iphone and Ipad), I can control the speaker from the basement, below the floor where the speakers are, without losing any signal or quality.  I am currently testing the Big Jam Box, but have also tried the Bose SoundLink and had the same issues.
    I have tried a few things, including changing the minimum bitrate to a few different things (40, 50, 60), and I haven't seen any improvement.
    My MacBook is not showing any needed updates that relate to Bluetooth (there is a camera update, and Safari update showing I think).
    I have tried disconnecting my Magic Mouse, thinking that might be causing interference. It didn't make a difference.
    I tried deselecting/selecting many different options within the bluetooth preferences, to the point that my head is spinning.
    Currently, I have the following selections made, which I think are pretty close to how the computer was sent to me:
    - Bluetooth is "on" but not discoverable
    - In the Advanced menu, I have deselected "reject in coming requests".   In the serial ports box, the "on" is checked, but the next box (not even sure what that is) is unselected, and the type is showing as a MODEM (RS-232 is the other option).
    - All other boxes in the Advanced Menu are checked.
    - In the Sharing Menu, I have nothing selected.
    Does anyone have any advice for how I should approach troubleshooting this?   I've been googling this for a couple of weeks, and my brain is about to explode with all the information.  Seems like many people are having similar issues, but many are finding resolutions to their issues, so I'm hopeful.  Could I just have a bum bluetooth in my Macbook (it's only a month old), non retina.
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    Realize this is an old post, but in case anyone is searching:  I also had this problem but fixed it by resetting PRAM.  Shut down the computer.  Then start up again, holding down the option, command, P, and S keys.

  • PROBLEM WITH MACBOOK PRO 2.4 Dual Core and MOTU Ultralite

    Hello,
    I Recently bought a macbook pro to have for my Live appearance.
    I also had a motu Ultralite which worked super well with my Pc and with the macbook the first days
    One day i had to play live in a club so i connect my soundcard but the macbook wont recognize it coz i cant see the popup window that i get everytime i connect my motu on it...i rebooted the soundcard then the laptop nothing...i started sweating coz my live performance would start in 20 minutes noting came out of it so i cancelled the gig for the moment and played a Dj set instead.
    When i got home i connected the card again and was working perfectly till yesterday..So i thought there was something wrong with the Power in the Venue or something like that.
    Yesterday i connected the soundcard and again does the same any other firewire device was working properly.
    I searched online and saw there is alot of people having the same issue but no solution.can someone tell WHY sometimes it works and sometimes doesnt??its very stupid to have 2 machines with a cost of 2500 euro almost and they dont work well together
    Op system: Leopard 10.5.7
    Motu ultralite Mk2 firmware: 1.15
    motu ultralite driver 1.4.21
    Thank you in advance

    Popping in to say that I have now a fully functional Ultralite (mk3) under OS X 10.5.8 on my Macbook.
    I have found that people who have upgraded the firmware to 1.15 were having problems (according to the MOTU site this upgrade isn't actually meant for the mk3 anyways) with Leopard (maybe Snow Leopard too?) and needed the 1.00 version of the firmware.
    Using the drivers supplied on the MOTU CD, the device would not appear when connected to the Macbook. However, removing these from the system prior to downloading the latest MOTU Universal driver from their website seems to have solved it.
    Now after installing the universal drivers from the website the device works without any problems (driver 1.4.23 of MOTU Audio Setup). Hope this helps someone

  • Problem with Macbook Pro 2,66Ghz and 4GB Kingston memory

    Hi all,
    I bought 2x 2GB Kingston memory(SODIMM - DDR2 @ 667MHz) in order to upgrade my MBP.
    When I install both modules, the MBP won;t boot. I get a blank screen.
    If I use 1 Kingston module at a time (1x1GB(original memory module)and 2GB(Kingston)) .It works fine.
    Both of the Kinston RAM modules seem to be working fine, when not installed together, but MBP doesn;t start when both are installed at the same time.
    Any idea of what the problem could be?
    Is related to my MBP or it has to do with the Kingston Modules?
    Thanks in advance.

    The new 2gb sticks BOTH work (when paired with old RAM), just not together. The 2gb RAM they sold me shows its speed as 6400 800mHz -- Could the faster speed be the problem? My system profiler shows the 800mHz RAM as 667mHz when it is installed.
    D.P. it looks like you have the same mbp as me. I talked to Apple Support on the phone a couple weeks ago doing my own research and learned (i'm not SUPER tech-savvy) that the laptop is 800mhz but will only accept ram of 667mhz because the computer has to be faster than the memory installed in it. They cannot be the same speeds. Don't know if this would cause the problem you are having, though.

  • Problems with Macbook Pro 2,2 DVI to Samsung Plasma 40'' HDMI

    Hi all, sorry if this sounds familiar, just want to check I've done everything.
    Essentially, I'm attempting to connect the DVI (NOT Mini-DVI) output on my MacBook Pro 2,2 to the HDMI port (labelled HDMI2/DVI) input on my Samsung TV using this cable: http://tinyurl.com/37cfcum
    Instead of becoming a second/mirrored display, the MacBook briefly looks as though it is attempting to connect (flash from blue), then nothing. TV displays "No Signal", and on the MacBook, System Preferences > Display gives the settings as if no external monitor were connected, and System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays > Display Connector indicates "No Display Connected".
    Macbook connects fine using a DVI to VGA cable to an external 15'' Samsung LCD monitor, using either mirror or dual display.
    I've tried the TV's other HDMI port, only to the exact same result.
    I've also attempted using a DVI to HDMI adapter instead, similar to this: http://tinyurl.com/353ua4e and using a standard HDMI to HDMI cable from there to the TV, only to get the exact same result. The HDMI cable works brilliantly with the Xbox 360, which is direct HDMI-HDMI.
    I've updated the TV to its latest firmware, and have sent off for Snow Leopard in the hope that something might change to help, but I'm not expecting miracles.
    I'd really appreciate if anyone could make a suggestion for something I might be missing? I'm really new to the world of Macs, and although I'm enjoying it so far, from what I've heard so far, MacBooks hate HDMI and Samsung TVs
    If it's any help, the TV is a Samsung Plasma 40'', model PS42B430, manuf. September 09.
    Thanks in advance for any advice!
    Edit: I'm basically looking to watch high definition TV/Movies; would much prefer not to go down the S-video or Composite route if possible!

    Thanks Louie - it seems painful not to use HDMI, I've never really understood Apple's logic behind the anti-copy stuff they've done in the past but I think you're right, it's probably that
    Regarding SVGA, connection-wise do you mean DVI->VGA->TV? My TV doesn't have a VGA input port Could I go DVI->VGA->HDMI->TV or DVI->VGA->Component->TV? There's S-video or composite, but I'd prefer to avoid if poss... what do you think?

  • SSD-problem with MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011)

    Hi there,
    I've tried to use two different SSDs in my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011). The first one (Samsung 840 Series, 500GB) crashed after two days: the beachball appeared and after a restart there was this question mark-symbol on my screen: no system found. Had to send this SSD back to Amazon. A few days later I've bought a new one, a SanDisk Extreme with 450GB. I've used it for two days, then my system crashed again and after a restart of my Mac I couldn't get any further than to the grey apple-symbol. Even the recovery partition didn't work anymore. Does anyone of you have the same problem with his (or her) MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) - and any ideas for a solution?
    Thanks for your answers!

  • Problem with MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro for 2 weeks.
    Transfering all data, amail from the Lenovo to MacBook Pro and everything works fine until lunch time today.
    Go to the meeting without any problem, return to my desk , lock the MacBook Pro then go out for lunch.
    Come back the MacBook Pro is acting very slow, can not open any Applications.
    Use Disk Utility to verify, take more than 1 hour to verify and it asks to be repaired?
    Invalid Node structure
    The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired... then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    Click on the Repair Disk Permissiond and it says that it will take 1 day and 21 hours to complete.
    - Is the hard drive going bad?
    - Will I loose all the data?
    - Can Apple recover without destroying my data?
    Moving to a Mac with the thought that it was better than IBM but my first impression is wrong....
    Any suggestion or recommendation?
    Thanks all.

    Unfortunately if you were to take it into an ARS (Apple Retail Store) They wouldn't be able to assist you in recovering the data, Apple doesn't like to be liable for data loss if something happened and they weren't able to recover your data.
    Seems like the issue in specific might be with the operating System, I'd reccomend booting into Lion Recovery (Hold the Command key and the letter R on startup) Hold those keys till you get to a screen that says Choose english as the main language, You'll see Utilities, Open disk utility try to run a repair there, If that doesn't work
    I'd reccomend trying to do an Archive and Install, Just reinstall the operating system from this recovery partition, Your data will remain in tact.
    If that doesn't work, You'll probably have to make a Genius Appointment.
    Regards

  • Possible hard drive problem with MacBook Pro? PLEASE HELP!!!

    MacBook Pro loads to login screen with my personal account (which shows a grey silhouette) my student account(shows custom pic) and guest account(same grey silhouette) there is no feedback when I click on anything. I have restarted it multiple times &amp; don't get anywhere with it. I just updated stuff on the macbook prior to this incident. I need help because I have all of my business, school, and personal things on this machine. What could be the cause of this? Why is it happening? I need it fixed ASAP as I have work that needs to be completed
    P.S. I am unsure of the exact operating system but it was the Mountain Lion that it came with. I was planning on upgrading to Mavericks tonight until this problem arose

    "Any drive can fail at any time."
    Don't update anything until you have a large-ish external drive and Time Machine or other backup working.
    You dodged a bullet this time. Next time, maybe you will not be so lucky.

  • Help! Have a serious problem with macbook pro!, please see description!

    so, this must have been about a month ago at the most when it started playing up. basicly, I noticed that A-it has all of a sudden become allot slower than before, B- applications are crashing regularly, this seems to be getting worse and worse, C- i had an incident once or twice where for no reason what so ever the macbook pro simply shut down and restarted for no reason, and with no error message, (though the more recent sudden shut downs give me a message on restart).
    I first investigated the problem when I was playing skyrim, using bootcamp of course to run windows, as I do with many games. After owning the game for about two weeks, and it playing fine, it just crashed and bluescreened all of a sudden without warning, and from that moment on i was unable to play the game since every 5 or so mins in it would crash to desktop or just bluescreen. i thought that this was an error with steam or with the game, and so i looked for help on the steam forum. as i was going through various methods to solve the problem, it seemed that the problem was worsening, since the windows partition begun to bluescreen more often for no reason, and then i noticed that the mac os partition was unexpectedly shutting down for no reason more often aswell, and so i have abandoned my attempts to fix what i thought was an error with windows, and i now believe that it is something more serious. im not so sure what i should do in order to solve this, i know my way around a computer, but im not genius at them, and so i have come to the apple forum seeking help!!
    here i have attatched info that may help, and by the way, it is 64 bit windows 7 that is installed on the bootcamp partition.
    the following message on the bluescreen report makes me think its something to do with the graphics drivers, and so i reinstalled all of the drivers on windows, but this did absolutely nothing unfortunately.  'dxgmms. sys error'

    UPDATE: after verifying and repairing permisions using disk doctor, things seemed to be on the up, but i think this was just hopefull thinking, since it has now got A LOT worse. i can no longer log in to my mac os partition, as soon as i get to the log in page where i type my password in, after typing it in and pressing enter, it will log in for a few seconds and then before i have a chance to do anything, log me out!! this is very very odd indeed!!!
