• Error hard drive on MacBook Pro non-partitionnement

  Good day everyone,

  I have the MacBook Pro with OSX El-Capitan 10.11.4 2013. I had installed windows on Boot Camp and I deleted the contents of its partition by mistake of the disc utilities. I then tried to reinstall but couldn't so I went back to the utilities disk to format, UN-partition and then re-partition all again. However, I got the problem indicated on photos when I tried to partition of the United Nations. He refuses to remove the pink part and shows as unused space. Any help please!

  

  

  First of all, you must repair your drive hard/OS X partition before being able to add that the free space on your OS X partition. To do this, hold down the control, Alt and R keys during start up your Mac to the high start in OS X Recovery and open disk utility.

  Then, choose your hard disk in the sidebar (the one labelled "APPLE HDD ST500... ('') and press "First aid" to solve all the problems. Do the same with "Macintosh HD". If the repair was successful, press 'Partition' and add free space to "Macintosh HD." Finally, restart your computer.

• Upgrade the hard drive in MacBook Pro?

  Basically what the title says. I saw a site that allows you to send to your MacBook and have offered improved storage I didn't I was going to need it because I wasn't going to do a lot on this computer. Push comes to shove and now "other" it took all the space on my computer (even almost not kidding) got the base model MacBook Pro 120 GB and from this moment other takes 111 GB of the 120 GB. I did try everything possible to delete files, but nothing works. I downloaded an application cleaning and there is absolutely nothing. So if you can recommend someone who proposes to upgrade my hard drive, which would be greatly appreciated.

  Side note:, I tried looking for the site but only find tutorials on how to do it myself and I have myself enough confidence to open this computer and storage upgrade.

  The application of cleaning plant was a mistake.  Each of them can damage your MBP.  Go to the web site of developers for instructions to uninstall and delete it.

  Here is the definition of the OTHER:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202867

  Sometimes a re-indexing of Spotlight will correct:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201716

  Download the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all your files and respective sizes. Transfer to an external HARD disk or remove files, that you no longer want on your MBP.

  Don't forget to empty the trash. Then only the space is allocated for the new data.

• External hard drive on Macbook Pro

  So I got a macbook pro for about 5 years now, and he is currently shooting OSX El Capitan. I have a Toshiba external hard drive that runs on it. I had problems editing on that before, when I upgraded to OSX El Capitan, but I downloaded a update for it and it started working again.

  Just today, I just bought a new macbook pro (retina, 512 GB HDD, 8 GB memory display) also running OSX El Capitan. But when I plug the external hard drive it does not rise. I've seen similar issues on here before the problem is "lack of power", but I don't see why my old work and isn't my only new. I also saw a solution to reformat the external hard drive, but that would erase all my data on the external hard drive, and which completely defeats the purpose of an external HD then. And for me, it is already formatted for mac. Did he have the same problem and found a solution?

  What format is the external? How is it connected to the Mac? How is it linked to iPhoto?

• Is 128GB hard drive for macbook pro enough space?

  I intend to buy a new macbook pro retina, I have a MBP (2011) older currently.  I am concerned about the space on the new MBP.  I want based on what I've read, I have to buy the 256 GB version, but as someone who is not downloading music, (flow), I also run movies/tv, the only thing I really keep it on my computer there's picture. At the moment, my main storage for my pictures is my phone, I've used so far about 11 GB just for that.  Other that that, I could see myself downloading maybe a show of film/tv and from iTunes, but I look at those on my apple TV or simply download on my phone so I can take it to the gym, and I delete them after I'm done watching.  I'm mainly looking to buy a new MBP for school, my only current became a bit slow and clunky, and I think it's time for an upgrade. Don't you think that the space will be a problem for me?

  Thank you!!!

  Hi Spencermatt1989

  If you choose to buy the 128 GB version, you can still use an external hard drive or SD card for your photos and other data to save space on the internal drive. I use a card of 128GB SD I leave my iTunes store and photo library.

• Problems of formatting of the new hard drive in Macbook Pro

  Hello

  My internal hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 broke down. So I installed a new hard drive a ST1000LM014 of Seagate 1 TB hybrid discs which according to IFIXIT.com must be compatible.

  I then boot the server Apple Macbook and party in disk Utillity to format the hard drive. The hard drive is visible and I'm then in the partition, choose the 1 partition, Mac OS X (journaled) + GUID. But while the partition that I get the error message failed to file system format.

  I tried different options in disk Utillity and I am able to format the disk using FAT or ExFat. But it does not help me to use my mac hard drive.

  Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? And it does not seem like a problem with the functionality of the hard drive?

  Thank you

  You must select the disk of material-name (upper, outermost level descriptor), not Volume name.

• Should I replace logic board or cable hard drive? MacBook Pro 13 mid 2012

  Hello guys I suffer for the last two weeks of my Macbook Pro would be grateful if you help me.

  Summary:

  A few months ago my mac has been slow and when I restart or stop it would take a minute or two, what has not happened in 2012-2014. In 2015, I decided to upgrade my SSHD HDD - Seagate 1 TB (that I'd need more space and a better performance). After that the upgrade of SSHD everything went well, my mac has been rapid, the battery has now 8 hours of battery life (440 + cycles). Overall it was a great experience! However during the night my frozen Mac even the mouse cursor, so I closed my Mac and it set in motion this time he showed me an icon of the slash. I disassembled my Mac and handed the stock HARD drive. This time, he showed the white screen without the disks. I tried several boards of various sites and one from the tip which has been WORKED safe mode! When I restarted, he returned to square one... I used the same trick but it didn't work. Now I see that a white screen on both discs, sometimes the issue icon flashes. Just for you find the hard disk turns but does not recognize... Although she acknowledged on my other Mac.

  I just remembered something just before this incident happened, I was cleaning up my Macbook with a small wet towel size (including the liquid soup inside) and then I cleaned the screen, the trackpad and keyboard (some liquid went inside the thing black screen and some of them inside the edges of the trackpad) but I them rinsed quickly. After 2 days, the slash screen appeared, and that's how it started.

  I removed the battery to see if there is any corrosion or something unusual about this, I also checked the trackpad, and it wasn't any dry liquid or dust, etc.

  Get to the point:

  Currently, I use my Mac through an external SSHD and everything works fine, but I want to stop using this method and thus solve the problem.

  Issues related to the:

  What exactly is the problem? Is my logic damaged Board and keep my HARD drive to recognize?

  Do you think that my card is fine, but I just need to replace the cable from the hard drive (821-1480) to a new?

  What happens if the hard disk thing stuck on the logic board or is damaged?

  Please help me and I'm sure that others are also facing a similar question. Another note, why some users claiming that their disk cable hard is to failure after replacing several times?

  
  

  We do not know "What exactly is the problem?". Get out your computer to an authorized for assessment service center. I suspect that you have caused water damage when the water and soup entered into your computer. Be prepared for a fix expensive since the water, not the soup ir and electronic works well together.

• Impossible to uninstall CS6 on broken hard drive in MacBook pro

  My hard drive on my MacBook Pro 2 years, beat and no longer works. I bought initially at Oregon State University. I backed everything up, but the only problem is that I can't uninstall Design & Web Premium CS6 from the hard drive of the laptop is broken. I replaced the hard drive with a new one on the Apple Store in Fukuoka City today (I can provide the reception if required). I intend to buy a new computer someday. However, if I install the repaired CS6 on my laptop, it will be counted as a second activation. Is it possible to get an increase on the number of licenses on an exceptional basis? I spent so much money by buying the Design & Web Premium CS6, I won't go to waste.

  When you have a non-functional computer and cannot turn off

  Don't forget to request ONLY activation support set your number of activations

• MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.

  Hello.

  I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.

  Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.

  Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.

  I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.

  A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.

  So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.

  I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.

  First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.

  At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.

  Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.

  I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.

  I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.

  So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.

  After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.

  I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').

  Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.

  Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.

  I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.

  Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.

  Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).

  Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).

  I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:

  -progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.

  -I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.

  -J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.

  Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.

  Now, I have four questions to ask you:

  1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?

  2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?

  3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.

  4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).

  I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.

  Alberto

  This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:

  1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.

  2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.
