• MacBook Pro Late 2011 Lion slow after new mem SSD and 16G

  I'm under Lion (10.7.5) on a MBP late 2011. Replaced the original 750 GB HDD with a 1 to Samsung SSD 850 EVO and store Crucial 2x8G; to replace the battery with one of Lizone. (Restore own Internet) installation of Lion on the SSD in an external enclosure, software update, then exchanged the SSD for the migration of Bay assistant and used internal drive with the old HARD drive in the external box. OnyX to clear the caches and other cleanup. Basic response (keystrokes, menus, scrolling, select the element and application launch and quit smoking) is stutteringly slow and delay - but sometimes, after a reboot, all right (with dynamic performance, I expected to the SSD upgrade) for awhile. I have disabled Spotlight and invoke TM only manually.

  I've ran out of ideas and would appreciate advice on what could be causing the slow response! Thank you.

• Double disc SSD/HDD on MacBook Pro late 2011

  So I finally finished putting my double drive on my MacBook Pro late 2011. I ended up putting the SSD where the optical drive has been, since research told me that the end 2011 MBP is the lucky model with an optical drive that supports Sata III. If anyone can give me a reason to spend my SSD and HDD, please let me know.

  Anyway, now I ask to help with setting up my macbook pro to use two disks. I copied everything on the SSD and the SSD drive is set to start my computer to the top. I can already tell that this thing is so much faster now. However, I basically just have two exact copies of my all my stuff on the two disks. How can I configure my computer to know which drive to use? I want a few things to use my HARD drive and other things to use my SDD, not all at once. Where are these settings and how to do?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi Jdsr4c:

  I have a Macbook Pro 2011 start.

  I installed a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO instead of HD.

  I moved the HD to the optical Bay.

  Optical Bay has 3 Gigabit speed. HD space has a 6 Gigabit speed.

  See the screenshots of my mac.

  

  

  The old HD, I would reformat is not bootable.

  I use my old HD for storage of movies, etc.

  So for example, I'll download a movie and then move it to my old hard drive. I'll put it in a directory named for example movies.

  On the SSD, I'll do an 'Alias' pointing to the movies on the old HD directory (on windows, it would be a shortcut).

  In any case, hope this helps.

• Trackpad MacBook Pro late 2011 does not not after upgrade

  I just update the OS in my MacBook Pro (late 2011) which worked perfectly well 'El Capitan' to 'Sierra '. Everything went, smooth and pleasant. but now, the trackpad is completely erratic, is in itself (such as move and open programs like possessed). I tried several suggestions from apple such as checking for updates, check the settings, delete all the gestures, etc. I'm assuming that the material is very well that was perfectly fine yesterday... any suggestions please help.   -Note; I have to use an external mouse, and the latter is very well.

  Hello Med_,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that after upgrading to Sierra, your MacBook trackpad has become erratic. I know that my trackpad is an important part of my daily use, I can certainly understand your concern. I'm here to help get this resolved with you.

  You did an excellent job so far! Then I recommend the system management controller (SMC) reset. This system can solve some unexpected behaviors. Follow the steps below:

  1. Stop the Mac.
  2. Unplug the MagSafe from Mac power adapter.
  3. Remove the battery. (Learn about removing the battery in the MacBook and MacBook Pro computers).
  4. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
  5. Reconnect the battery and the MagSafe power adapter.
  6. Press the power button to turn on the Mac.

  The LED on the MagSafe power adapters could change State or temporarily disable when you reset the SMC.

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

  If the problem persists, test this problem in safe mode. This will allow you to exclude the software as the cause. To help get started in safe mode and additional steps, use the steps and the link below:

  1. Start or restart your Mac.
  2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
  3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

  After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

  To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

  See you soon!

• How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

  Here are some technical details of my current system:

  -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

  -OS yosemite

  -16 GB of memory/RAM

  -Currently using stock HD

  All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

• Drive hard internal update for MacBook Pro Late 2011

  I want to update MacBook Pro (late 2011) to a SSD drive, but I do not have what to choose. I have my eye on 960 GB SATA III, but I don't know if it's ok to use a greater than 512 GB SSD and SATA III ok?

  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Yes it's OK to use a size larger than 512 GB SSD, and Yes, SATA 3 is OK.

• Part number of MacBook Pro late 2013 SSD

  Hello

  I have acquired a used MacBook Pro late 2013 (A1502 - EMC 2678) a few months ago, in which the DSS had been removed.

  I knew that I had to replace the SSD when I bought this MacBook and found on the ifixit site that I had to buy an SSD with a part number in this list: 661-1838, 661-8136, 661-8138 (256 GB SSD).

  "I've finally found one on Amazon Market place, and the SSD was announced as follows:" (661-8136, 661-8138) 256 GB Solid State Drive - Apple MacBook Pro 13 retina "A1502 / 15" A1398 (end of 2013, mid-2014).

  But when I got the SSD, I noticed that the part number is printed on it is '655-1803D", which is the part number for MacBook Air Mid 2013 - 2015 SSD.

  I contacted the seller to an Exchange, thinking that they had sent the wrong item, but he told me that the product was properly advertised on Amazon and showed me his description which indicates that following:

  Identification numbers:

  -Apple part No.: 661-8136, 661-8138

  -The printed part #: 655-1803, 655-1817, 655-1838

  -Manufacturer B21: MZ-JPU256T / 0 *, SD6PQ4M - 256G, THNSN2256GSPS

  So my questions are:

  "Print" (those that appear on the SSD) part numbers are supposed to be the same as the Apple part number, or they are independent of each other?

  Are SSD with part number cell phones compatible with MacBook pro computers A1502 655-1803 ' printed'?

  Thank you.

  If it is, in fact, a number of part of Apple on the outside label of the SSD it should be certified by the manufacturer to run in an Apple/Mac products. SSD information displays the drive model number in disk label utility. These Apple Certified SSD will run through multiple products of Macbook. I hope this helps.

  Bravo!

• Lion running on base 2011 MacBook Pro afraid of: upgrade to "El Capitan."

  I have a base 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It becomes kind of slow, but I just had it looked at. No problems. I'm afraid of a free upgrade to El Capitan as it may run more slowly. I have much stored and not in the game. Think to pay shop install for $30 Mountain Lion. Thoughts?

  There should be a reason why a Mac starts running slow.  First find the reason (s) and then upgrade.

  A good starting point is a download and publishing a report Etrecheck:

• MacBook Pro Late 2011 startup questions - SMC reset necessary after each shut down.

  I was asked to look at a friends end 2011 Macbook Pro.

  Initially, it seemed dead. No power, no response. I did the Shift + Command + control + Power to try to reset the SMC nothing helps.

  I opened the back and disconnected the battery and the magsafe. I help the power button down for 5 seconds. reconnected the dough tried power on and it didn't work until I plugged the magsafe. Ah ha I thought it, BUT. Once started it works very well, some check everything looks good and battery shows healthy with 70% of load.

  I restart the machine and it starts fine. HOWEVER. I stop the machine and I'm back to square one. Power supply photo and battery connected.

  So I rinse and repeat. battery disconnect power hold button wait 5 plug in back and then turn it on. As before it works only after the power supply was ALSO connected. to test this situation I tried again without connecting the battery and just the power supply. Since then only the battery was in, nothing until that I plugged the battery ALSO.

  So the Macbook will start only after a stop if the battery and power are both removed, button / help for 5 then BOTH the power and battery are reconnected.

  I've seen people with similar questions but no one seems the specific symptoms that it requires this reset each STOP but restarts not on the list.

  Clues, help, correct?

  See you soon

• By the end of 2011 MacBook Pro, AMD Radeon HD 6770 M and CS6

  I just bought a second hand MacBook Pro (late 2011, i7 Quad 2.5 GHz with the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6770 M card) for a decent price. Here's the thing tho, I didn't know that AE CS6 does not play nice nice with AMD cards due because of the support CUDAGPU acceleration. Barefeats stipulates that ' every Mac with an NVIDIA GPU blew the...» AMD GPU... »

  So, having said that, have I made a serious mistake by buying this machine? I looked online but couldn't get a clear answer: will be AE CS6 performs well with my AMD card?

  Please note that I do not very big, but I need a kind of performance when I need (with out going into long explanations, I bought this machine to work at home, but I have a MacPro to work for the heavy stuff). What worries me is if I try and return, I'll sit for hours.

  Can someone let me know if the AMD card will limit my performance with AE (and PS, I) CS6?
