I need some advice on how to upgrade my MBP mid 2010 HDD to SDS without using clone software

Unfortunately, I had resisted the upgrade of the OS and kept my Snow Leopard running for a few weeks when the incompatibility of the various things became a nuisance I took the plunge and upgraded to OS El Capitan. That pretty much killed my hard drive. It kept failing good start and eventually when it did, no matter what function took forever to action. I took it to the Genius Bar and after a few tests it came with hard drive failure. In accordance with the notice given to me - I was told I should buy a Samsung EVO 850 and it would take me 10 minutes to install and simply use time machine to move my data.

I can happily work on people, but the machines seem to much more complex.

I decided to do a little reading and now am a little stuck and confused as clearly this is not so simple.

I have a SATA cable / USB. I think I know how to mount the SSD with the SATA connection format and then fresh install OS El Capitan.

The thing to note is that my MBP has been an erratic behavior of 2-3 years with gel and episodes of kernel errors and downtime. I thought previously, it had something to do with an external application - google chrome and got rid of this to use Opera instead. He made much less frequent mistakes but nevertheless still occurred.

For this reason, it does not seem logical to use clone apps (although much would have made life easier) and I need to somehow this the long way round... or so I think, but please correct me if wrong.

I have a Time Machine backup before I upgraded my OS, and before you try anything, I'll do another then its judgment the new OS.

My questions are:

1. after formatting my SSD, I should make a partition?

2. is it acceptable for then simply drag a copy of the OS El Cap to the SSD and run hopefully leading to installation?

3. What is the best way to migrate my data?

Note that I'm not a tech savvy person, have never done anything like this before and its taken me weeks to reach these conclusions to date.

With step by step instructions all tips are welcome.

Thank you.

Create partitions first, then format each partition.

I think you need to create a USB flash drive install and then boot from the flash drive and go launched the installation process.

  • Need some advice on how to proceed with the implementation of SMS in game

    Hello everyone. I develop a 2 player multiplayer game and I intend using SMS for data exchange. I am aware of the limitations, but the data that will be sent will be nothing more than a string containing the move, which will be then analyzed by playing on the receiver's phone.

    Currently, I have a welcome screen that allows the user to select a contact in the contacts list and select the number to use. The user is returned to the home screen and they have the ability to send the invitation to play.

    I've been combing through the SMSDemo trying to see how to do it in my app, but honestly I can't imagine how.  I hope that someone you suggest maybe the steps I have to take to move forward. I'm in trouble get it clear in my head. Is the first thing to create a thread to listen?

    My first advice is to not use the transport of SMS messages. Many users pay a rate per SMS message.

    Use instead BBM. See the code sample TicTacToe for an example of a game using BBM for is the transport of messages.

    Hi again,

    If you have a Standard Action, then just add a literal Assign cpCmndCC with 1 line. You can also follow what says Lieve, just add a short blade and apply the action on the second slide. Also if you have objects on the slide which advance to the next slide and then not using OnExit measures.

  • How can I recover deleted files without using any software?

    How can I recover deleted no matter what folder, image, Word & excel files without using any software inculd Recycle Bin?

    You cannot retrieve files deleted with the help of software. And even using
    software, you may or may not be able to recover.

    What you have against the use of software? The first thing to try is to
    being trash. If she isn't here, read on.

    "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
    also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
    Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
    downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
    example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
    be very poor now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer (do not
    it on yours because that would overwrite the files you want
    Undelete) and bring it to you on a CD or thumb drive to try.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.

  • Need some advice on a motion graphics/editing PC build.

    Here's the deal. I was builing custom PC of for more than 20 years, but not a system anything close to that I intend to build then and need expert advice and information about a person to her. I'm looking to build a system designed for video editing, creating motion graphics and 3D modeling, and some argue more questions about which components would be best for my needs (mainly on the graphics card and hard drives).


    The first is the card video (s). And I say 'maps' because I don't know if I need more a card for what I am trying to accomplish. I have create many long 3D animations and complex using Blender and After Effects, in addition to changing a variety of projects in creation and you want the best bang for my money. My budget for this system is quite high ($5 k and 10 k $) and I know I can get amazing at this price performance if I get the right equipment. Thus, on the cards. From what I have gathered, briefly, Google search, is that I want a card with CUDA Nvidia for video editing. My main question in this area is, would be to dual graphic cards or using SLI quad be good in what I'm doing or is SLI mainly intended for improved game performance? From what I understand, I think that (at least the video, not sure about 3D animation) is done mainly using the CPU and GPU not; Although the help of CUDA. Basically, I need to know how useful it is. If I bought two or four GTX 980 see a significant improvement in After Effects, Blender or creation? I plan to get one of the top (if not the top) i7 CPU I can find, so it won't be a bottleneck of my CPU performance, so please does anyone suggest to put the money into the CPU rather than the GPU because I already put the maximum amount here.


    My other main question is regarding hard disks (or solid state). I'm doing a bit of editing and modeling 3D on a laptop and it's getting really well for projects bit, that I have worked so far, but as I started to work on projects that have strict deadlines, I'll need a system that can make it basically as fast as possible. My main question in this area is, should I use any sort of RAID array. I looked at several forums, but none of them specifically answered the question for my unique situation. Most other forums says ' well, if you will only use it for editing and not animation "etc but I'm going to do a 3D animation as well, so I need to know what the answer is in this case instead... I also know that the other messages regarding the change of systems, to recommend the use as three discs for things like "scratch disks". I have a feeling that I'll get a few recommendations here saying I need like seven discs for what I'm trying to make, which are the answers that I really can't wait to hear about. I mainly looked at RAID 5, 6, & 10 but do not fully understand them, and have in fact never implemented in any system I've built so far. From what little I understand, I think that RAID 10 would work better for my needs, which offers a great read & write speeds which is important and also provides redundancy, which IMO is even more important. I can't have the system down for an hour, or worse a week because one of my drives breaks down. My other question in this area is a table of the SSD would greatly improve performance in a RAID 10 array? Would it be profitable? I read in a post recently that drives hard actually handle more large files better than SSDs and worried to SSD in the test bench because they would not be able to handle larger video files and I'll use it frequently as well as hard drives would be. I guess I'll be shooting and editing many 4K projects soon and need a system that will handle this resolution well. If I have to use 4 hard drives in an array of RAID 10 for my OS (the RAID for speed and redundancy), drive a small SSD for a scratch disk and a large SSD or HARD drive for a player video output, please list the exact readers/configuration that you would suggest that I use and why. I am very interested in a bit of a discussion here to get the best possible configuration for the money and will respond to all sincere responses as quickly as possible.

    I know I already asked several complicated issues here but am hoping someone with a little more experience that I have in building editing systems can provide some advanced tips and help me and someone else who can try to build a similar system in the future. I know also that this issue is not specifically intended for the AE, but it has to do with this and because EI is editor and motion graphic, I'm find the best advice for a system that will edit video and create animations. Thank you 1 million (in advance) to anyone who provides a contribution instructed in answer to the questions that I have!

    simply 2xssd raid 1 (mirror) for the OS/applications.

    1 ssd for zero/previews

    second raid 6 or 10 with the hdd or ssd for the media.   (if you don't get a lot of drives to get the speed, you will want to use ssd.)

    No raid for backups. can use several disks hard, but in combination with off-site, such as cloud backup.

    Optional could be another ssd for cache/export. If the ssd scratch fails, it would be able to support.

    can take a look at the guides of storage here for more information.  Tweakers Page

  • RV180 need some advice/Suggestion regarding the rules of access and Services

    Hi, I expected to get some advice or suggestion with a RV180 question.  I have a cable modem connection that connects to my port WAN RV180 and we have a single static IP address on the WAN port and everything works great.  We have an internal Exchange Server, so we have a few inbound rules access allowing for ports 443 and 25.  It all works.

    This is the question that I encounter.  We have now another service internal now needs outside inside access on port 443 (https), but I already have this configuration on the router for Exchange and when I have both sense, of course, it won't work correctly because the router just takes the first rules of access and use the one that works very well for traffic Exchange , but not my other service.

    Is there another way to get this job where I can have two internal services on port 443 and the router can forward traffic appropriate to each of them since my first IP? (it doesn't really matter if I had two IP addresses because it always hits the same access list for internal services)

    All advice or suggestion would be great

    Hi, yours is a general networking, not specific to RV180 problem.

    As you have only one IP public (on the WAN port), you only have a single port 443, you can support two services outside-to-inside.

    The cheapest solution is one of the services to another port, if the service permits.

    The most expensive solution is to have public IP addresses.

  • SF200 48P... Need some advice

    Hello and thank you for reading my post.

    I currently have a small network that looks like this... SMC cable modem (with static IP) > RVO16 > connected to some computers and printers > 4 port linksys switch > connect multiple PCs and POS.

    What A location.

    I have another place that looks like this... Cable modem (dynamic IP) > RVO82 > connected to computers, printers and the POS.

    What location B.

    The locations are connected by a tunnel that is used daily and intensively.

    Here are the changes that will happen at A location, I have purchased ip phones and we'll be adding several new computers, printers. all to be connected to the new SF200 48P I bought. It was mainly for ip phones and the POE ports, but looks like it should work well for the whole of the network.

    Should I be setting up small VLANs to say each office which will consist of one IP address and telephone, computer and printer..., there will be about 8-10 like this.

    I want to keep offices and connected places and maintain security at a good level. I need quality of Service for ip phones.

    Not really sure if I should use the RVO16.

    Also wondered if maybe the RV180W-A-K9-NA would be a good choice instead of the RVO16 because it also has VPN.

    I intend to update location B with a new switch, IP phones, computers and printers as well. (next year as cost is the factor of this year)

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Hi Steve, the RV016 supports multiple subnets and VLANS based left only.

    The RV180 much better address this traffic because it supports the 802. 1 q VLAN.

  • Need some advice FC...

    .. .wondering if someone can give me some advice on fiber channel.

    We are running two without: a former EMC NS20 and a new HDS. Both have CF, but only to systems meeting some, Lun most are iSCSI. We have two switches Cisco MDS 9148 for HA. We currently have a c7000 using iSCSI to one of our SAN systems, all the blades in this system are running ESX 4. I would add this c7000 CF, but I am interested in refurbed 4 Gb CF because we are more expansion of this system (we have an another c7000 using FlexFabric for newer blades).

    I've been searching online trying to figure out what that HBA and interconnection modules would be appropriate. I ran in the QLogic QMH2462 HBAs, Emulex LPe 1105 and I wonder who works more own with ESX 4 and would play well with our switches. I also met a few IC modules options: the "HP 4 GB Virtual Connect Fibre Channel Module" and the "Blade switch Cisco MDS 9124e.

    So I wonder if anyone has any advice what may work better in my configuration. And what experiences anyone could have a similar setup.

    Thank you

    -Mike

    ... QLogic QMH2462 and Emulex LPe 1105 HBA...

    IMO, you can use one of the HBA without problems. I've never had problems with QLogic or Emulex no matter if used in servers in rack or blades.

    ... the "HP 4 GB Virtual Connect Module Fibre Channel" and the "Blade switch Cisco MDS 9124e '...

    The Virtual Connect module is only an option for a C7000 with Virtual connect Ethernet IC modules. I did not work with Virtual Connect from this so far (with the exception of the HP ASE training). I mainly use the Brocade or Cisco IC. In your case, I'd probably go with the Cicso (from the perspective of management), since you already have the switches DMS 9148 in place. However, as you may know, HP and Cisco are not best friends more

  • The upgrade of the MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010) HDD and RAM

    Hi all!

    Before I get started here are my system specs:

    MacBook 13 inch, mid-2010 (white)

    Model: A1342

    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB

    Serial number: 451244SHF5W

    Software: OS X El captain

    OK here's what I've done the research and understand from my research since a page archived Apple.com, ifixit.com and crucial.com and some comments I've read as well:

    According to ifixit.com, saying that most of this computer can manage is a 750 GB hard drive, yet I go to Crucial.com and when I look at the SSD (which I can't afford) says that this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Does this mean I could install a hard 1 TB? This computer can manage a second 500 GB hard drive at all? My second Question is in what regards the memory now, I go to apple.com page archived and is no longer being updated by Apple, it says most who manages this computer is 2 GB to 4 GB. I am not convinced. Is not possible to move to 8 GB to 16 GB or more on such a system? I'm just curious, I bought this from a seller on eBay who reconditions the Apple laptops and I bought this for a member of the family. If none of these improvements are possible I send this computer back and get my money back. Thanks for the help. I need a response as the end of today! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    It's the right information:

    A model of Macbook 2010 7 identifier, 1 will support up to 16 GB of RAM (download the OWC)

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_Wh ite

    You can install a SATA HDD/SSD currently available that are 2 TB of capacity.

    You can install a "data cube" instead of for a second HDD, but as this Macbook DVD drive can have a 2 TB of HARD disk installed, I see little interest to do unless you have an extraordinary amount of data.

  • How to identify the siebel custom index created from DB without using siebel tools

    Dear Experts,

    Please let us know how to identify siebel custom indexes that are created directly through DB. We don't are not sure on the customer tables had created indexes.

    Thank you

    Carine Ch

    Hello carine,.

    Thank you for using Oracle communities.

    Custom indexes created without using Siebel tools are not included in the schema definition in the Siebel Repository.

    Just for your information, these indexes are deleted during the upgrade of database. In order to preserve these indexes, add them to the repository Siebel using Siebel Tools.

    Now come to your query you have utility DBCHCK.

    DBCHCK is that Siebel provided utility to compare the logical schema in the Siebel Repository against objects in the physical Oracle database.

    DBCHCK must be run regularly to check the status of the Siebel business, especially after a release.

    DBCHCK can be useful to identify custom index added by the development team, but not added to the repository using Siebel tools.

    You can run it from a server in the environment. A performance by connection to the base. This should be run from the folder siebsrvr

    You can get more information from document following knowledge.

    The FPGA has no access to a disk.  You will need to pass data to the host (preferably with a FIFO DMA) and then the host can save data to a file.
