Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

Hi all

I want to improve my HD to SSD.

I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

Thank you

Adam

No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

  • SSD does not appear in the disk utility when you try to reformat the MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to reformat my Macbook Pro (mid-2012), because I had the folder with a question mark by trying to turn it on. Once I started the recovery process online and open disk utility my SSD does not, so I can't delete it or reinstall the OS. Any help would be appreciated.

    (Since 1) isn't the SSD with the disk utility program and 2), you get a folder with a question mark when you initialize I would say that your SSD is dead. Unfortunately, probably looking to a visit to your genius of Apple.

    Hello Sir/Madam...

    I have a little problem that I can't fix it.... so please can someone help me with this question, I can only explain with this image as an attachment, I thank those still and wish everyone the best chance.

    Make a backup, best 2 separated on 2 discs. Start of recovery volume (command - R on a restart, or hold down the option/Alt during a restart and select the Volume of recovery). Run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no error.  If this doesn't resolve the problem, try reformatting the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

  • SAMSUNG SSD 850evo cannot be read on the disk utility

    My macbook pro 13 "mid-2012 has been very slow (20-minute boot) for the past month, so I quickly looked for a cure and thought I have a failing hard drive.

    I bought a Samsung 850 Evo 250 gb to replace the failed drive. Following the useful tutorials on youtube, I managed to install the ssd in my macbook pro. However, when I use the recovery of internet to install OS X on the ssd, ssd seem does not appear is not in the list of drives available in disk utility.

    Can someone help me why it does not appear in the disk utility?

    Get out the SSD drive, install it in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP via USB.  Install the original HARD disk and start the MBP.  Open disk utility and make sure that the SSD is displayed.  If so, you can format it and clone the content for the SSD from the internal HARD drive, if you wish.

    However, when you install the SSD drive and if it does not start the MBP, indicating that internal SATA cable needs to be replaced.

    If the SSD does not appear in the disk utility when it is connected to the outside, then that indicates that the SSD is defective.

    Ciao.

  • C6280, win7 cannot print via active network with VPN

    Hi, I have 2 PCs, one Vista, one on Win7. With Vista, I can print over the network.

    Also, via USB on the win7 PC I can print.

    But I can't print via active on the Win7 with VPN network. Without VPN, it works.

    I had several problems with the installation of the SW. Finally it worked (I think I had to turn my VPN connection)

    It recognizes the printer, the State says: ready, but when I print, I get an error after a while.

    When I stop the VPN, I can print.

    I tried to load the patch for Win 7 (recommended on HP circuit (printer disappears), but what it says that I don't have the SW right?)

    any idea?

    Hi ReneH,

    I am pleased to hear that the problem has been resolved. Have a wonderful day.

  • Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

    Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

    Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

    My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

  • SSD external via USB does not start by default

    Hello Apple community.

    I have a problem with my new external SSD. Given that the base model Mac Mini end of 2014 comes with a disk HARD 5400 RPM drive, I wanted to go to an SSD without having to tear the whole unit. I wanted to exhaust the option 'boot from USB' and I'm having a strange problem. I cloned my Mac to the new drive SSD and slapped in a box set of the speaker. I connected via USB and changed my 'startup disk' to use the external SSD drive. However, it does not start on this unit automatically. When I reboot and discovers the "boot manager" I see the USB being initialized automatically. After disconnection / re - plug the drive in, it appears as a boot option. Once it is initialized, everything works fine and I can boot into El Capitan without any problem using the SSD.

    I am trying to find a way that I can get the Mac to initialize the SSD to the boot upward and choose default. I don't want to have to re - connect the drive whenever I want to start on the SSD drive... Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  • Samsung laptop (series 7 times) has improved to a 1 TB of HDD to a SATA Samsung 256 GB SSD. Even with the disk msft key, windows is now "infringement"? Help!

    I upgraded my Samsung series 7 times from the original 1 TB of HDD to a SATA Samsung 256 GB SSD.  I bought this computer refurbished shop ebay with lots of positive comments.  I reinstalled windows 7 Ultimate edition (same computer version came with) and a utility to find the disk key and the installation seem to work very well.  A few weeks later, I started getting messages that my copy of windows is fake - not true.

    Is it a simple case of Microsoft without realizing there are HARD drive, I installed was installed on the same computer or is there something more sinister is happening with the seller or the original owner of the laptop?
    It seemed there was a solution to the problem of one or two members of the forum but the link to download the fix does not work, and I'm not sure it will work for my computer/drive specific anyway.  I have to be very careful with this computer that I use for my small business and I can't afford to speculate and the shot of the thing to the top.  Any advice for a not-very-tech-savvy user would be greatly appreciated!

  • Sharing activity with Apple Watch problem

    I added a friend to my shared items Apple Watch and went through all the stages of acceptance.

    However on my Apple Watch I can't see the results of my friend, but on my iPhone, I can see mine and theirs.

    On my friends iPhone and Apple Watch, they can see my results of activity, but all mine read as zero.

    Hi slithytove,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you have added a friend on your Apple Watch to share activities. On your Apple Watch you don't see the results of your friend, but you can see the you and the results of your friends on your iPhone. They see your activity on their iPhone as zero.

    I just started using this feature myself. Watch OS 3 is really cool in how it allows you to share your activity with friends and family rings. I'm happy to help you with this problem.

    Please ensure that all iPhones who share the activity are connected to the Internet and signed in iCloud. Use article share your activity with your Apple Watch, more specifically, this section:

    Get help with sharing activity

    Activity sharing requires iOS 10 and watch OS 3. If more than one Apple Watch associated with your iPhone, the sharing tab appear not in the activity until you update all your watches to watch OS 3.

    If you are unable to add a friend, make sure you have a Apple Watch and that you have not added the maximum number of friends. You can add up to 25 friends.

    If your iPhone can connect to the Internet and you are connected to iCloud, you can get the updates relating to the activities of your friends every day. If your iPhone can not connect for several days, or you disconnect from iCloud, you may see missing days.
