• Upgrade of RAM MacBook Pro 13 (end 2011) (Crucial Vs Corsair)

  Hey guys,.

  I want to upgrade RAM from my Macbook Pro 13 (end of 2011).

  Currently, I came across 2 brands i.e. Corsair & Crucial.

  Can someone help chose me between the two.

  To upgrade RAM Apple support page: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201165

  Key: http://www.amazon.in/Crucial-CT4G3S1339M-1333MHz-204-pin-PC3-10600/dp/B008LTBKKQ

  Corsair: http://www.amazon.in/Corsair-CMSA4GX3M1A1333C9-4GB-Memory-Kit/dp/B005JRH9TE/

  Please help me pick a!

  Your response is appreciated

  Of these two I'd certainly crucial that another option would be OWC - https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_13 33MHz_SDRAM

  I used OWC modules in my late-2008 MacBook Pro (8 GB) for several years now without a single problem.

  The screenshot appears, but according to your description, this is clearly a hardware problem, or bad memory or a defect logic board. If you have replaced the memory modules with spare parts, please reinstall the original memory and see if there is an improvement. Otherwise, an appointment 'Genius' on an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

• MacBook pro 13 '' end 2013 display is distorted, restarts suddenly

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 "end of 2013 (ME864TU/A)

  I meet sudden reboots, which was not only a big problem lately, but he began to do this quite frequently, and now my screen gets distorted before those

  sudden reboots. And now, after the last restart suddenly, my left USB does not recognize any device. (My mouse was connected to there for 6 months and worked very well, and I used this port with my drive external HARD, not that too does not work). While what is happening, I look at something or listening to music, so I think that it is not connected to the programs I use. It does not occur on a specific program. It's just random.

  I am really frustrated. This happened to me before, and the top box Service modified Apple (I think it contains, keyboard, drums and some other hardware) and it seems to work fine until last week.

  I would add here last kernel log.

• Is my MacBook Pro 15 "end 2013 compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices (if you are using an adapter)

  I have a MacBook Pro 15 "end of 2013, 16 GB, 1 TB SSD, 2.3 GHz i7 running OS X 10.11.4." My SSD is maxed out so I plan to buy a box 2 Berry drive Thunderbolt and secure it with a 1 TB SSD.

  I know Thunderbolt enclosure 2 still available, but lightning 3 cases are starting to hit the market. I wonder if a Thunderbolt 3 box will be compatible. Because I'll probably replace it the MacBook Pro 12-18 months and I assume - rightly or wrongly - that Apple will adopt 3 bolt of lightning on the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iMac during this period, I would prefer Thunderbolt 3 for scalability.

  I am aware that the cables are physically different, and 3 bolt of Lightning has adopted the USB - C standard. My question is: if I buy the cable or a suitable adapter, I'll be able to use a box Thunderbolt 3? (I know there will be no performance difference; however, it is scalability).

  Thunderbolt 3 is backward compatible with earlier versions of Thunderbolt.

  GeekBench is a crude tool that is useful for computers compare configured identically. Means "Identically configured" quite the same hardware running identically configured systems with identical changes, as appropriate.

  As says Geekbench works best when it is the only application running. Comparing the performance of your Mac to others requires the abandonment of all other open applications in addition to process who can have no user interface.

  To identify the processes that are running on your Mac in order to see how they affect the activity and performance of your Mac, use the activity monitor: use the activity monitor to your Mac - Apple Support.

  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.

• Wich USB 3.0 / 3.1 PCMCIA USB controller works best in a macbook pro 17 "early 2011?

  Hi people,

  why I had this idea before?

  I have an available PCMCIA slot in my macbook pro and would therefore be an opportunity to put in a USB 3.0 or (if already available) a 3.1 USB controller card.

  ... but: one who works best with EL CAPITAN? and with the SIERRA to come?

  did someone knows with this interesting topic?

  This product solves the problem:

  I bought a controller card - 3.0 - nano tech on eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/262393441049

  It works very well plug & play under sierra on a macbook pro in early 2011.

  but nowhere, a controller 3.1 must be found.

  Welcome, flo

• 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.

• Is there a compatible ssd to upgrade early 2015 Macbook Pro?

  Planning on buying a new macbook pro.  Information on upgrading the early 2015 macbook pro said that it wasn't something compatible yet.  I was wondering if in 2016 if anything compatible exist now?

  OWC (macsales) can have.

  But even open systems of the retina may void the warranty and can give the Genius Bar the right to deny any future service to avoid being blamed for what you broke.  Change the SSD guarantees you invalidation some.

• 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.

  Your MacBook is looking for initial start-up by car but can not find.

  Power on the Mac and hold down the 'option' at the same time, and then manually select to boot from the drive of choice.

  Also, try this first:

  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.

  Open "terminal app" and enter the command 'sudo trimforce activate' select YES, YES... and restart after completing
