End of 2013 SSD Macbook Pro has failed

The SSD in my end 2013 13 "retina MBP failed, leaving me with a very nice and completely unnecessary aluminium piece.

The genius bar appointment confirmed the failure by saying that it was obviously a defective component, but that my only option was an Apple Service / repair costs £526 + VAT.

Someone else has met a failure of this type in the same model of MBP?

This would be a general problem with the SSD components used in this edition of the MBP that is similar to the issue of MB Air?

I'm obviously gutted by the failure and lack of options and cost of repair in this case adds insult to injury.

Apple has lost a long-term MBP owner / client.

Stephen...

You may be eligible for a reminder, but you will need to check with the Apple support.   Read this article, and then Google ' Macbook pro / ssd reminds "."   You will find several references.

    I have a model end of 2013 13 MacBook Pro with 4 GB or RAM retina and think to upgrade to El Capitan. Is this enough RAM

    Of course you can upgrade to El Capitan. But I think better if you can change the internal hard drive (SATA drive) in the SSD drive. You will get better results, faster than still, you only have 4 GB. This is mine... MacBook pro in early 2011.

  • My batteries end of 2013 of MacBook Pro drain mode retina 'sleep'

    Hello!

    I have a MacBook Pro late 2013 who recently (I think after the El Captain update that came before the last) began to seriously empty battery 'sleep'. (20% / day compared to the usual 1-2% / day.)

    I went through a few logical steps:

    • I turned off all applications before entering the mode 'sleep'
    • check whether if it is completely off, should it still power loss? N °
    • I checked the settings to save energy, nothing prevents that my Macbook to sleep, NAP is off.

    What I noticed: if I did not open my MacBook Pro for days, before he had another screen to start (I had to type my password twice, but now only once).

    This has led to an assumption: because something prevents my MacBook to enter standby after a certain time?

    I can't find anything in the settings that affect it.

    What could go wrong?

    Thank you

    Hi e.a.snell, this is a very common scam. You can report it to http://www.apple.com/legal/more-resources/phishing/

    Once someone has physical access to your computer, they can access all of your information and leave a malicious software they like on your system.

    The only thing to do after what happens is to reformat the hard drive and reinstall OS X.

    First make a copy of your data.

    Then start command + option + r choose utility disk and erase the entire hard drive (top icon). Now, to partition your disk, you must create at least a partition for Mac OS X, which should be formatted for OS X Extended, partition scheme GUID that is the default value.  Make sure that you are connected to the internet via Wi - Fi or ethernet.

    We'll put the original OS that computer comes with. After putting in place, you can upgrade. After he finished the installation, it will restart and put you Assistant settings. Once you set up your accounts, you can connect to the AppStore and OS X update to the latest version of so that your Mac meets the system specification...

    First make a copy of your current hard drive, unless you have a recent backup.

    You will need your original installation to the next DVD.

    Boot from the installation DVD. Choose the drive that you want to delete in disk utility and click on the above icon, which represents the entire disk. Press erase the drive.

  • retina failure SSD MacBook Pro early 2013

    Since a few weeks, my MacBook Pro 10.1 (beginning 2013) retina a 512 GB SSD running the Mavericks has been sporadically crashing.  The disk has been partitioned, with a Mac OS X partition and a BootCamp partition.  An accident resulted in my default Mac partition.  DiskUtility told me that the volume cannot be repaired and back up my data as soon as POSSIBLE.  I managed to get everything on the Mac OS X partition.  The BootCamp partition seemed ok.  I checked the data verified S.M.A.R.T. ok.  I reformatted the Mac OS X partition.  Everything worked well for a few weeks, and then the accident began.  I took this as a problem of BONE rather than a hardware problem.  Today, the Mac crashed again and I forced a restart.  In other words, I tried to force a restart, but the drive didn't completely this time.

  • Condensation has caused my HARD MacBook Pro disk fail?

    I am the owner of my MacBook Pro 17 inch available mid-2010, which resulted in the failure of hard drive for the SECOND TIME IN 6 YEARS.  I replaced the hard drive and brought it to my local Apple store, where they performed an installation of OSX El captain.  I used the time-machine for about a year back.

    I had a keyboard cover on what I didn't for years to end, nor I shook with her for awhile.  After retiring, I noticed there is a lot of Condensation (Moisture), at the top of the keyboard.  My hard drive went dead twice so far, both times that I did not remove my keyboard cover until two days ago.

    The printed letter 'A' on the keyboard seems to have SCRUBS OFF a little, if I tap each letter oh-so-often.  The letter 'A' is just above my hard drive - Go Figure!

    In conclusion, I will never use a keyboard cover again.

    1. So not a condensation result in my hard drive not?
    2. Is a rubbed off button a good thing to look for, to be WARY of condensation occurring?
    3. A reflection as to what else to use to propel my keyboard from dust to settle in?

    Duration of the guarantee for new hard drives are usually three years. Your failure rate is not alarming. Hard drive mechanisms are very complex. Rupture may be caused by a wide variety of issues.

    wear of the CAP key arrives. E, R, S and T are the most frequently used English letters, but has a scope on the side of your left pinky, so wear should be expected.

    keyboards produced in the last decade use more key switches and no longer have an electrical contact inside. Keys are arranged along the son of line and column, and the changes subtle capacitance indicate what key has been pressed.

    Your fear of disrupting the dirt key mechanisms is baseless, because there is no electricity to get grime more.

  • Intend to upgrade HARD + SSD Macbook Pro drive end 2011

    Hope you guys can help me with this simple question (if any):

    I plan go my Macbook Pro 13 inch end of 2011 this system of 'double disc' using the current HARD drive and a new SSD. I use OS X El Capitan.
    My plan is to take all my important files on the current 500 GB external HARD Drive USB drive and delete EVERYTHING ELSE. There is no problem.

    Then I open the computer, remove the HARD drive and the optical drive. I'll replace it with my new MAIN hard drive SSD HARD drive and put the HARD drive in courses where the optical drive was (with an adapter to fit) to be a 'secondary drive' where I store my photos, movies, videos, etc.

    When everything is back in place, my question is: if I turn on my MBP with cmd + R pushed down, the normal OS X Utilities screen will appear and I would like to reinstall OS X for this new SSD?

    Why not let the operating system installed on the HARD disk, since that will give you a backup of boot problems disk? As long as you clear the Macintosh HD partition and not the HARD whole, the volume of recovery disk should remain intact and usable.

  • Purchase 2013 (initially) Macbook pro 15 inch

    Hello world! Then my trusty old 2011 (early) macbook pro died last year. After making it through high school and college, he was finally ready to retire. My trackpad was broken, the screen has been damaged, and I was running out of ram which was causing the computer and not even turn on. So, I upgraded to a (end) entry level 2015 macbook air for budget problems and I did not like the experience. Personally, it feels like a downgrade to me, I'm already exhausted on the memory, and I was not very satisfied with the upgrade. I find myself not even using the computer on which a lot for my entertainment purposes like I did with my pro.

    Recently I fell into the little money so I bought a macbook (early) to 2013 retina pro 15.4 "with Intel Core i7-3635QM, 8 GB RAM and 256GB SSD on sale. Ironically, it's an upgrade on my macbook air from 2015. I'm very excited, but I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with the time in two or three years. I want this computer to last me as my last macbook pro. Do you think I should be okay with it? I'm not a user with power by all means, I turn on do photo editing, plays of light and the rest of the time it's just school work.

    Thanks for your advice and help!

    You used a Mac before - so were able to get your photo editing you and the game made satisfactory on the 8 GB of RAM? It's one of the concerns that I have - other than that - Yes people advise for the largest disk, you can buy, but you can always move stuff to an external location - as OGELTHORPE likes to say - you can upgrade your player but not memory.

    You should be good - in my opinion, but we can see what others have to say

  • With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012

    I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.

    Try this it worked for another user having the same problems.

    SMC and the PRAM Reset

    I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I did an upgrade SSD with a Samsung Evo 850-series (500 GB.). However, I had no problem.

    I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original disc for the SSD via a USB-to-Sata adapter.

    My first start was slow because I don't have the SMC / PRAM reset my MBP was looking for startup disk.

    However after my MBP starts very quickly. I got no problem with Samsung Evo SSD. They work very well with Macs.

    Don't forget to activate the "pad" your non - owc SSD support.
