My late 2012 mac mini boots slow with new ssd drive

So here is the situation. I purchased a 128gb ssd drive, installed it a usb enclosure, formatted it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), cloned it with carbon copy cloner 3, used the option key during boot up and selected the ssd drive and it booted my mac mini and it functioned perfectly. I than tested it for dozens of reboots and it worked fine. I then took apart my mac mini and removed the original hard drive and installed the new ssd drive. When I boot to the ssd drive it still takes 47 to 53 seconds just like the old drive. Aren't ssd drives supposed to be a lot faster?
My solution or tip is as follows; The reason it takes so long to boot is because the mac mini doesn't know you replaced the old drive and it is looking for it during the boot process. Finally it can't find the drive so it boots to the ssd drive. All you have to do to correct this is click on "system preferences", select and click on "startup disk" and select your ssd drive and click on "restart". After these steps your mac mini will now boot in about 17 seconds. Issues solved.

Yes, my solution fixed the issue. I went from a 47 to 53 second boot time to a 17 second boot time. The ssd drive is significantly faster than the original drive that came with my late 2012 mac-mini. This is my first post and I wasn't sure how to post this as a tip. I have another tip regarding usb 3.0 hubs.

Windows 8 will not activate with new SSD (second) hard drive

I added a new SSD drive in the second hard drive bay. I used the HP restoration media to install Windows 8 on the new SSD drive. Windows 8 will not activate. After spending 90 minutes on the phone with HP support (and paying $150), they told me to contact Microsoft. After spending some time with Microsoft, they told me that the Windows product key is being locked by HP, and there is nothing they can do.

Hi badgerbuzz,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Mountain Lion and Mavericks with new SSD

I tried Yosemite on my MBA (mid-2011) and lost my hard drive. Apple replaced it with an SSD at no charge
since my Apple Care had only recently expired. Now I need to find my 2013 tax return on my Seagate
external hard drive but cannot find it on Time Machine backups. Can you help me?
The lost hard drive was using Mountain Lion. The new SSD has Mavericks.

Well, the only place for your records would be on your backup(s). The hard drive was replaced, so there is nothing there unless Apple restored all your data from your old drive to the new one after the replacement. If they didn't, then your only hope is your backup.

T410 will not boot with new SSD

I've cloned my HDD to a new SSD, but it will not boot. It goes into a Lenovo Think Bios splash screen / Black screen loop. I booted off a repair disk and performed a repair, but it is still doing the bios loop thing. This has happened with both an OCZ and a Kingston SSD. Any ideas? Thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm going to venture a guess that the drive was not cloned properly.
The "new" drive must be in the machine's HDD bay, and the "old" one in the USB enclosure.
I always use Clonezilla for the rare occasions that I actually clone something, but Acronis should do just fine as well.
Good luck.
Cheers,

Permissions problem with new SSD boot drive

I recently installed an OWC SSD drive as a boot drive on an iMac I've had for many years. I’m having some sort of permissioning error that I can’t figure out how to resolve.
I’ve setup the SSD as the boot drive (created user named “Boot Admin”). 10.9.3. All data and files remain on my old spinning disk
When the computer first boots, as expected, I’m presented with 2 users at the login screen (“Boot Admin”; Original User Account). If I choose my old user account, I receive the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account “<name of original user account>" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred.”
If I choose the Boot Admin user I’m able to login without issue as the Boot Admin user (no access to my original apps and data). At that point, I can choose Log Out from the Apple menu and then login using my old user account. When I follow that sequence, I’m able to login with no issues. Apps are there, data is accessible etc. I can enjoy the speed of the SSD.
Although, if browse within Finder to the Boot Admin user on the hard drive, none of the folders are accessible (the little red icon is on the folders). Similarly, if I boot straight into the Boot Admin user and browse to my original User on the hard drive, none of its folders are accessible!
I am at a loss on how to troubleshoot. Ideally, I would like to login in directly to my old user account (eliminate the 2 step — login to Boot Admin, log out, login to Original User) and have full file access to things within both the Boot Admin user and my original user account.
Any guidance or tips on how to troubleshoot? thanks in advance

I appreciate the continued assistance. I'm clearly overlooking something and Google is not my friend! I've tried.
At the expense of repeating myself, I'll share my current configuration:
10.9.3
2 hard drives (new SSD with name "Boot Drive" and original spinning disk "Macintosh HD")
Startup Disk in System Preferences is "Boot Drive"
"Macintosh HD" has 3 User Folders: bootadmin, jayelevy, shared
jayelevy is my home folder - all my documents are in tact
bootadmin has the normal home folder structure
"Boot Drive" has 3 User Folders: bootadmin, jayelevy, shared
jayelevy is empty; no folders
bootadmin has the normal home folder structure (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, etc), but each is empty with the exception of Movies and Pictures. I've moved my Aperture databases to these 2 folders to take advantage of the speed of the SSD
When I restart the iMac I'm presented with 2 user choices: jayelevy and bootadmin
If I initially select jayelevy, I receive the error mentioned at the start of the thread
If I initially select bootadmin, I can login without issue, but get the standard Mac desktop (not my home).
If I then log out of bootadmin (not restart, but logout) and then choose jayelevy, the signin completes successfully and my desktop/home folder is restored to it's normal and expected condition.
I am still trying to avoid this step of login/logout/login.
I imagine I'm overlooking the obvious, but I'm in uncharted grounds for me! Here I thought the hardware swap to replace my optical drive with SSD would be the hard part. That was simple! I've stumbled on the software side!

Macbook pro hard drive transfer to new i7 Mac Mini with new SSD

I've seen some of the threads on drive transfer but wanted to get more input. I currently have late 2008 Macbook Pro with 750gb hard drive running Lion latest version. I bought a new Mac Mini i7 with dual 500 gb drives. I also have new SSD 512gb. I want to use SSD as boot drive for Mac Mini and install 750gb drive as 2nd drive. I know how to remove and install the drives. What is best sequence, software and procedure to execute the exchange? Any help would be greatly appreciated in advance.

Hello,
Not clear on your circumstances, but...
Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...

Qosmio X500 - Need to purchase new keyboard

Hi
can anyone tell me which particular exact Replacement Keyboard do I need for my Toshiba Laptop...?
It is a Backlit Keyboard UK & Black
* The Spacebar Key does NOT work and I need to buy a Replacement complete Keyboard to fix this problem
The Laptop Mode Number etc is as follows:->>>
Model Name QOSMIO X500
Part Number PQX33E-02X01UEN
Do you need the Serial No. as well..?
Please can anyone tellme as the more I look I find so many different keyboards that I am gettingconfused which is the RIGHT replacement KEYBOARD for my Laptop..?
Thanks
A

Hi
As far as I know the compatible keyboard has a part number: A000048040
But you can use any standard A4+10key flat half glossy black keyboard.
You can also contact (call) the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to get (order) a new keyboard for this X500 Qosmio series.
The guys would be able to order such keyboard directly from Toshiba.

Qosmio X500 - freezing up with no apparent pattern

model no POX33A-02GooJ
I have been getting feedback on this problem for about a month now. Thanks for all who have contributed especially Cee_64 from the USA forum.
My machine is continually freezing up with no apparent pattern.
I have so far eliminated nortons as a cause.
Also eliminated Office as a cause.
I have eliminated the Sleep settings as well.
Each time i have sent it back for repair they can not find any thing wrong. As this is the replacement machine for the first it seems uncanny that this is doing the same thing
Now It has been mentioned by (sorry can't remember who) That the USB modem may be at fault. I had the old optus one which the machine was freezing up so i got the new updated one from optus that is compatible with windows 7 but the same thing is happening. It was mentioned that the power for the modem may be draining the machine and freezing it. I have the machine set to supply full power to anything connected to it. but the problem persists If that contributor reads this please comment. Could the Modem be incompatible with the system
So feed back on machines that are not freezing/crashing and what internet acces you have and also feedback for people that are using usb modems and if theirs are crashing as well may be able to come up with a solution to this incredibily frustrating situation.

Hi, This is the first thread i have started in my life. I replyed to the others however the people that started them seem not to be looking at these anymore.
Anyway, The update is i got the new USB stick which say compatible with windows 7 on the box but in with which when used with the computer it (the computer) is still freezing up.
The USB MIdem But in its compatibility mode it is" windows XP with patch3". They tell me that i need to test it in another computer and if that works it is definately the computer.
I told them that i needed to test it in exactly the same model of computer for that to be acurate but they don't think so.????
OMG so i am back to the beggining. I think that my only option is to call toshiba and try to organise to take this modem down to the Gold Coast repair store and sit in there on one of theirs ( if they even have one) with this USB conected and see if it does the same thing ( I know it will).
I think that this is a serious fault whether by Optus or Toshiba to not inform purchasers. ie Either this modem will not work with Toishiba Qosmio Or that Toshiba Qosmio will not work with certain internet connections.
As this machine won't play Avatar and has a line down the bottom of display this seems to be another small but more painful fault than the others. If only the person who put the original thread in about the USB modem would reply that would be good..

'No Entry Sign' on Macbook Boot-up with new SSD

Hi Everyone,
I'm a first time poster looking for some help.
I recently installed a new SSD (Samsung 830 128GB 2.5") in my white Macbook (2,1).
After buying the SSD I did a clean install of Mac OS X Mountain Lion, however, due to not having a physical disc, I performed the install using my iMac, the Mountain Lion DMG, and the new SSD in an enclosure. The install seemed to go fine and my iMac will boot up from the SSD with no problems, but when I try to put the SSD in the Macbook, I get a 'No Entry' sign and no sign of life.
I have tried putting the SSD in an enclosure and tried to boot it with the Macbook by holding 'Option' to choose my start-up disk. When I do this, it reads both the 'Macintosh HD' and the 'Recovery HD' but when I click on either option to boot, it shows the 'No Entry' sign. Is there anyone who could suggest anything - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mr Flollop

I have now managed to get Mountain Lion working on my Macbook - even though as Mike has correctly pointed out, it is not in the system requirements.
I believe the problem lay with installing Lion on the SSD via a different machine than the one the SSD was meant for - though this should not have been the case.
I ended up installing the SSD in the Macbook and booting Mountain Lion install from a USB stick - it worked and Mountain Lion is running well on my machine.

Data transfer when replacing HD with new SSD

I understand how to physically replace my old HD (mid 2009 macbook pro) with my new SSD, but I'm not sure how to go about the data transfer using time machine. It sounds simple if you're not running OS Lion, but I am, which seems to complicate things. Will the following steps work?
1. Install new SSD
2. Boot computer from original OS 10.6 Install DVD
3. Format new SSD to Mac OS Extnded (Journalled)
3. Install OS 10.6 onto new SSD from DVD
4. Update OS software as far as possilbe pre-lion
5. Install Lion from App store (previously purchased)
6. Re-boot and use migration assistant to transfer all apps and files from my most recent time machine backup
Thanks for your help!

Cannot boot with new SSD

Installed new OWC 240G SSD in 2007 iMac. Started up with old HD in external case running OS 10.10.2. Initialized SSD with Disk Utilities, and it mounted on the desktop. Transferred contents from old HD to new SSD. Computer boots fine from old HD in external case, but does not boot with internal SSD. After displaying Apple symbol for a few seconds of the startup process, computer goes to a kernel panic and gets into a loop of retry message-Apple symbol-message-etc. The SSD shows on the desktop, but does not show as a startup disk in System Preferences pane. Disk Utilities shows drive is fine, but repair of permissions is grayed out. Window says permissions repair is only permitted on OS installed with an Apple installer. System folder on the SSD does not show the "blessed" symbol. Have tried recloning using Time Machine backup - same result. Installed eDrive on SSD with TechToolsPro, and can start up in eDrive thru TTP window, thus verifying all cabling. After booting with original internal HD installed in external case, SSD will show on desktop, but will disappear in a few minutes after a message says it was improperly ejected. Suggestions? Is there a way to access OS 10 software purchased and downloaded from Apple site?

Many possibilities here. Maybe a bad connection when you installed the drive. Maybe a bad drive. Maybe a bad SATA cable.
How did you format the drive? Should be Mac OS Extended Journaled. When you boot into the recovery drive, access disk utility from there and see if you can access the drive.
I have the same drive as you. What I did is use Disk Utility from the recovery drive of TM. I first re-formatted the SSD drive. Then I used Disk Utility to restore the whole drive of my original to the new SSD drive.
You can still download the Yosemite installer from the App Store in your purchases providing you downloaded it from the App Store already.

Help with new SSD install

I've installed a new Crucial m500 ssd hard drive into my late 2008 macbook pro but when I start it up i'm getting a disc symbol with a question mark. Can anyone advise please?
I think I may need to clone the new drive first but I don't have a SATA cable and I kind of wanted to start fresh. I have backed up my data onto Time machine stored on my WD mybook live so I thought I could reinstall from there once I had installed the new SSD into the macbook.
I've never done this before and not so great with Mac's or Pc so any advice would be a huge help.
Thanks

You're getting the disk symbol and question mark because there's no OS on the new SSD.
Another method to do this would be to reinstall your old drive. Create a USB thumb drive (4GB) Recovery HD using the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant. You will need to download the Disk Assistant first then run it against your thumb drive. This puts the Recovery HD from your internal drive onto the thumb drive. Then reinstall your SSD and boot into your thumb drive via selecting it when pressing the Option/Alt key. From the thumb drive you'll have the OS X Utilities menu so you can format your SSD and install OS X. And during Setup of OS X for your SSD you can use your Time Machine back up (if you have one) to migrate user accounts, data and apps.

Boot Problem with new SSD Drive on CQ60-409SA

I have just replaced my HDD with a new Sandisk 120GB Extreme 11 SSD.
All went OK with no problems installing Win 7 Ultimate and much faster search time, etc..
The problem I have is that when I boot the laptop from cold, i.e switch it on for use, the SSD is not recognised and I just get a Black screen with Flashing cursor top left corner, but if I then press Control-Alt-Delete, the system Reboots, and then boots into windows no problem.
I am trying to find out if I can Access BIOS Advanced Options, if I press F10 during boot I only get Options like Change Boot order, and not more Advanced Option to change Drive parameters, etc... and F2 does not run Diagnostics for SDD.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am very pleased with the performance increase the SSD drive gives to Windows and Boot itme except for having to boot twice.
Best regards,
This question was solved.

No worries.
What year model is your notebook?
About your request for the Advanced options, unfortunately that is not possible with a BIOS supplied by HP.
You can, if you don't mind taking the risk, go to a BIOS Mod forum and look for a modified BIOS for your notebook there. The modified BIOS will have advanced options.
Have you tried the Solution and Update finder on the Support download drivers page for your notebook? It says that it will find missing drivers.
