Sata cable for macbook pro
Purchased a blue-ray writer to back up pictures with. It came with a usb 2.0 cable and a sata cable. Is there a way to use the sata cable with my macbook pro?
I was focused on the lightning port. Instead I found the eSata cable I needed that would connect to the USB 3.0 port.

Which FireWire Cable for Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Migration Assistant?
Hi,
I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 15" (standard - not retina display) and am planning to transfer my files via the Migration Assistant. My question is, I currently have a mid 2009 macbook pro (2.8GHz, 4GB) and was wondering which firewire cable I need to purchase - there are so many different types!
Thanks!ds store wrote:
Hold T and boot the old Mac's drive to the desktop of the new one or do so during Setup Assistant or later with Migration Assistant.
Setup Assistant runs only once, at first startup when fresh out of the box or when freshly reinstalled from scratch. Migration Assistant is a regular application found in the Utilites folder.
If you're going to move all your stuff over, the easiest and least problematic way is via Setup Assistant. Since the computer is in a completely blank state when SA runs, it can create identical user accounts, permissions, etc., as the original source. MA is an app that runs on an already configured and running system and, hence, can't duplicate user accounts, modify permissions that are already in use, etc.: this can cause vexing issues for new users that may not be to well versed in multiuser operating system administration. -
Cable for MacBook Pro and old lacie hardrive
Hello
I have just upgraded to a MacBook Pro after using a G4 Powerbook since 2004. I had also for the same time used a Lacie 160gb hardrive as back-up. And i guess you know what is coming next. The lead from the Lacie will not fit into the MacBook. I had a quick look at the cables at Apple Shop but it all just looked like a blur to this old fellow. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thank You

Cables for Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 ??
Greetings -
We have an Aug 2009 MacBook Pro -- would like to feed video / movies to our Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500, which has all manner of inputs -- HDMI, Composite, S-Video.
There appears to be a video port between the firewire & 2 USB ports.
What cable(s) do I need to get the optimal picture to the TV (and what to the receiver)?
Thanks,

Any kind you can find for sale today. Cat 5E or Cat 6 are both suitable. Get the length you need to connect to your router. Other that that, they're all fine.

How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?
I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot. Problems with both WD and Seagate. I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks. I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive. Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive. I was able to partitian in disk utility. Anything ringing a bell. I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble. I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there. In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac.
Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

toshiba 1.tb and 7200 RPM ?
Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.
Here you go, $65

Hi,
I bought a 15" Macbook Pro 120GB last month from
Apple.com. I do a lot of video editing and wanted to
upgrade my memory to 200GB. I am under Apple's
Warranty, however I am afraid of buying more GB and
installing it on my Macbook Pro myself. Is there a
way I can have Apple mail me a shipper box and send it
back to Apple to upgrade the GB? I am willing to pay
extra for the sake of having a certified Apple
employee do the install. Has anyone had this
experience or could offer me any advice on this topic?
Thanks!!I just had my MacBook Pro Hard-drive upgraded. As best as I could find out, for MacBook Pro's, you need to have an Authorized Apple Service Center perform the upgrade. According to them, the rest of the MBP is sill covered by AppleCare, but the new drive is not.
If you do the upgrade yourself, you WILL break your entire warranty.
I paid $130 for the labor, and my local Mac Repair Site did it the same day. I bought a Hitachi Travelstar 250GByte drive from ZipZoomFly.com then:
- put it in a USB2.0 SATA case,
- used Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my entire drive to the new one,
- booted from the new drive externally and tested applicaitons for an hour,
- then took it to my Mac shop to swap drives.
This minimzed the effort of the installer and maximized my confidence that everything would go smoothly.

What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11
What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011? I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200. Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm. How do I know what will fit??
I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs. They all are 5400 rpm. I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements. Tomorrow, there may be others.

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro
Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?Best battery info resource is here:

I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours. I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected. I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display. Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?
When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
