• MacBook Pro - fault of HDD - what are my options?

  Hello

  A week (or more) ago, I started to have problems with my MacBook Pro. As a first step, it would occur only when I start Skype, I live extreme 'delay', where nearly every program would stop responding until I have closed Skype (or so I thought). He started to get worse, and eventually I uninstalled Skype (assuming that it was the issue). I kept having problems, so I just tried a hard reset (turning point by using the power button and turn it back on).

  At this point, I managed to connect and the loading bar would come, but it will break about 3/4 of the way. Stop, I mean it would stop completely, and I would wait about 15-20 minutes to see if she would continue and he wouldn't. So, I started looking for ways to solve this problem and tried to use recovery tools.

  In disk utility, I had noticed that the HARD drive was completely full, all 500 GB have been exhausted. Which did not seem good at all for me, so I gritted my teeth and thought I might as well just delete because a lot of what used to take the system was old school work and projects. I went to clear the contents of the Macintosh HD, which seemed to be successful. After that, I knew I had to reinstall the OS, so I did.

  Call me now, looking forward, but I was very sick in the beginning. I reinstalled the operating system in the past and had no problem before. He's fine this time, make the usual breaks in ETA ranging from 1 hour and 22 minutes to 2 hours and 11 minutes, which seemed normal to me. Then at some point, after an hour of waiting, he just stopped at "3 hours and 30 minutes". I waited about 30 minutes to see if it would continue and it would not be fair. I can remember in the past be able to stop the installation and continue it later, so I tried to do. I cancelled it and tried again, but this time my Macintosh HD drive not appear. For the most part, my boot drive just disappeared.

  So, I did a hard reset, and now my MBP goes to a gray screen with a flashing folder with a '? ' in this regard. I am only able to load the recovery of Internet Options, but I am unable to do anything with "500,11 GB APPLE HARD drive". I can't verify, repair, erase, partition or format at all. I tried a lot of things without success.

  So, I called Apple, and they planned a genius bar reservation which I am very upset from the Apple Store closest to me is in another State. (I could find one that I felt was easier to make, but I still won't go).

  I talked to one of my friends on the issue, it is a networking / IT Major (I'm a big CS, but I don't know a lot about hardware issues). I described what happened, and he said it seems that the symptoms of hardware failure. He suggested I get an SSD and replace the HARD drive.

  I'm not worried about installing the SSD or a new HARD drive, I am worried if this is still the issue, plus I'm worried about the next step after installing the SSD. How do I get the OS on the SSD drive?

  Now, I'm looking just for any possible suggestion. I'll take tomorrow anyway at the Apple Store for my appointment, but it's just to be able to diagnose the problem and see how much they will be responsible to fix? My friend is not an expert in Apple products, so I ask those of you who knows more about the subject to enlighten me please if you agree it is a failed HDD delivers and if I have to buy an SSD and if so, how will come back Mac OSX on the computer?

  Product sheet
  MacBook Pro-mi 2012 - 13.3 "display

  Storage - disk HARD 2.5 GHz - 500 GB 5400 RPM

  Memory - 2.5 GHz - 4 GB DDR3 memory

  -2.5 GHz - Dual-core processor Intel i5 processor

  Last latest version of OS X El Capitan - (it seems to work Mavericks in the recovery of the Internet)

  (If you have the Apple store do it for you, they just installed inside origin.) Here again, they have all the Organization to fall back on Apple, and they have done this so many times, they can do it in their sleep.)

  How you replace a hard disk without pain, is buy an external enclosure for the new drive at the same time. You can choose a regular training of laptop computer size (2.5 inch) Rotary or a SSD in a portable format. SSD is more money, but faster and more fresh and not its no engine, it consumes less energy.

  Then install Mac OS X on the new drive while it is in the enclosure, then start the drive in the enclosure. The speaker has no need to be fast or fancy.

  Once you have everything as you like, and then do the "surgery" to move the new disk inside.

  This makes the installation easier, because you can get the old HD to recovery to help you install the new Mac OS X and even give some time to play with the old drive if you wish.

  The biggest improvement in this scheme is that it separates any problem installing and functioning of the new order of any problem of 'surgery' and makes it less complicated because you are only one step at a time.

  --------

  At the end of the process, you have an additional speaker. Then buy another, bigger drive to put it in and start using Time Machine, so you don't waste your stuff even once.

• Option key always down on the new MacBook Pro (mid-2010)

  I have a new MacBook Pro 15 i7 "with 8 GB of RAM. Illustrator seems to think that the option button is still held down. Forms always come from the Center and dragging objects with the pointer always their copy. This problem occurs with AI CS4 and CS5 trial HAVE. I don't have this problem in Photoshop or other applications of CS that I tried (ID, Flash). I tried to throw the com.adobe.illustrator.plist and the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder.

  The keyboard Viewer (Preferences system-> language & text-> Input Sources-> keyboard & Viewer characters-> input menu-> show viewer from keyboard) does not show that the option key is held down.

  I use an external USB (aluminum Apple keyboard) extended keyboard. It also happens with the built-in the laptop keyboard.

  Is that what someone else with this model having this problem?

  I see that your question can be model specific or related material as a problem with the option key is also present in other places. You could try uninstalling/reinstalling Illustrator, removing the custom of bad cache files, as well as the files preferably before you start, if you have a brand new Virgin facility. See if that helps. If not, you could try this first, create or logging in as another user, and see if the same thing is happening.

• MacBook Pro with question mark inside a folder after fix

  So I have Macbook Pro 2012 13 "with a 500GB SSD and 8 GB of ram. In may, my computer would not boot into the operating system without previous indications of possible failure. It would display an exclamation mark inside a folder at startup (later, I thought means that the hard drive is a problem). I took it to Apple-authorized repair Tech on my campus and they were unable to understand the source of the problem, but said it was possible that my OS has been corrupted. After some searching myself, I started to think it was the TRIM bug which has been a known issue with Samsung. Samsung has gladly replaced my hard drive. I have connected the new hard drive and I fell again on the same issue. I started to consider the water of the hard drive has been the question... So I replaced that and was able to start again! Fast forward to today, several months later, and I have the same problem. However, now I can start in the OS sometimes while sometimes it will show the flashing icon. If the hard drive ribbon cable I bought was of bad quality, or that would indicate a bigger, more serious problem? I'm confused as to how to proceed to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Yes, I suspect a problem with the new ribbon cable or its connection to the logic board.

  You can delete it. But if you're that little storage space you should start combing through your data folders are looking for in your Home folder and delete the stuff you no longer need. Download an external drive where you save your data in order to remove on the startup disk. You can also check out OWC to see if they have a larger kit of replacement of SSD for your specific model.

• MacBook Pro will not initialize. Question Mark flashing folder

  -Macbook Pro 13 "Unibody model 2009

  Hi guys,.

  I have been a frequent visitor to the community of support here, but I'm a poster for the first time, so please forgive any lack of post I suffer from the label. I saw this problem here much and seem me to always see the same advice to fix, but I have never seen anyone who treat the same symptoms I had with my camera.

  My question all started when I tried to save something for the reader, and he said to me "you are not allowed to save this destination" (something to that effect). Then it progressed to a question on my Macbook to spontaneous freezing. It would freeze just constantly and I always have to force offshore. When I would try to start the machine up, it's always 50-50 chance that it should start successfully, often welcomed by the famous question mark flashing folder. I constantly by visiting an Apple store for the last year and a half on this topic and after countless visits, they insist that there is no problem that they can find. They always say down to "permission error", problems of BONE that have been resolved by resettlement and a faulty hard drive. I've dealt with them during this period and and still have this machine properly repaired on any occasion. The problem persists always just after I take the machine home and start right away, its still there.

  As time went on this issue, I noticed that the machine would often freezing when moved, for example moved a table at my knees etc. This has some time until that I have raised to clean the table under one day and then tried to do turn on and nothing. The machine refused to start, only to give me the question mark flashing folder. I tried to boot into recovery mode by using CMD - R and tried to reinstall the OSX, I read that it is a common solution, but whenever I start recovery mode "Macintosh HD" is not where. So I can't even try a reinstall of OSX.

  A man IT in my former work place had examined this issue before on another machine, and he said he had replaced the cable of HDD of the machines as the previous was damaged. When toggled, he said that the machine was working fine. It would be logical, as if the cable is already damaged and loose, I'm sure that the movement might just disconnect. I raise this issue because it is of NEVER once offered all the time, I in dealing with this issue and on further investigation in the apple forums and this seems to be a very common problem.

  

  This appeared on a boot up once and never since.

  

  And that's what I see at every boot up to now.

  I'm sorry to bombard all the world with so much information on this subject, but my frustration is quickly turning into madness on this issue, which have no one at Apple after countless visits being able to fix the problem. As it is the main culprit for me, the HARD disk cable, but I would not assume know better that some of you have known many more people.

  Any information or help that guys could pass my way would be greatly appreciated I was apparently no help from Apple repair personnel. If you have read and thought about all this I applaud you and owe you a drink at the mercy.

  Hi Yogi Wynne:

  I agree with your friend IT. Looks like the SATA hard drive cable has problems.

  The inside of your computer is not as smooth on the outside and rubs it hard against the SATA cable and can cause one of the traces in the short cable is causing hard drive problems.

  Here's where you can get a replacement cable, they are very fragile. https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/MacBook-Pro-13-inch-unibody-mid-2009-mid-2010-H ard-car-Cable/IF163-013-1

  Here's a video that shows what could happen. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Amg5w0rlwDo

  I might change the SATA cable and see if the problem persists.

• I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro 15 inch. I use programs such as Stata, for big calculations. What is my best option?

  I'm considering buying a MacBook Pro 15 inch. I use programs such as Stata, for big calculations. What is my best option?

  Either of the 15 "MBPr come with 16 GB of RAM and because it appears that RAM is paramount for Stata then one of them should be able to manage it.

  Is the portability of paramount importance for you? If this isn't the case, you might consider an iMac. You get more for your money from a laptop to a desktop computer. In addition, the RAM on the iMac can be improved if need more later. From what I've read on Stata resembling an important consideration.

• Flash of the MacBook Pro 13 '' end 2012 expansion options

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 "end 2012 with 120 GB SSD and I'm looking to increase its storage capacity by using the extension flash connector." I want to buy the highest capacity and fastest flash memory, that I can find, but I am confused and scared to buy flash memory which is not compatible with my Mac. Someone would be kind enough to point out the best options? The more I read, more confused I get. Laughing out loud. Thank you.

  The expansion slot Flash is mainly for SD camera card connectivity.   Thunderbolt is a slot with many options for external storage.

• Printer HP C310 hung wireless for MacBook Pro does not allow me to choose printing options.

  Just replaced my MacBook with a MacBook Pro (NICE!) I have an iMac that has my C310 printer Photo HP Smart connected on it.

  Pulled up the new laptop and it was immediately find and access the right printer YAY?

  I run an online business and am constantly printing on purchases (portable) coming in. My PROBLEM is that I am not given ALL the printing preferences options, all prints off the coast in color I don't need (price wise - considered ink as)

  The options are given to me on the iMac I think that since it is literally connected to it. However, on my old MacBook that I had a few days ago the options all came when I went to print (wireless connection as is the new MBP).

  Any thoughts? I tried to click on anything whatever possible in screen printing that is displayed when sending to the printer and he basically tells me what I'm doing not giving options for change to the basic black that I need.

  Thanks in advance

  iMac osx 10.7.5
  MacBookPro with Retina

  For starters, you can remove the software and reinstall it from the link provided below? Let me know how the printer responds and if these options are put at your disposal once more.
