MacBook does not recognize the SSD.

Hello

I would like to replace my HDD on my MacBookPro (13 "/ Mid 2010/ElCapitan") with an SSD. I bought a SanDisk card Ultra II 480 GB SSD and SATA to USB cable (this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251800670431?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=S % 3AMEBIDX % 3AIT TRK).

I wanted to connect the SSD drive, format, make a copy of my HDD with SuperDuper! and change the part. But seems that my MBP does not recognize the SSD! I can't see it in disk utility, or in the office.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

How have you plugged the SSD drive?  It is installed internally or externally via USB?

Ciao.

  • y510p does not recognize the SSD to the first boot.

    I have a new y510p that I received this week. First thing I did was to replace the HD 1 TB with my own OCZ Vertex 4 256 GB SSD Drive.

    When I turn on the laptop for the first time, it does not find a bootable device (through network devices, then says no bootable device). If I use ctrl + alt + delete to restart the laptop, it detects the drive on its own and begins booting in Windows.

    I would like to understand why this does not work the first time? I went into the BIOS and I saw that it says that there is no hard drive detected.

    This worries me a bit, like maybe one day, he decided to no longer recognize the drive after the ctrl-alt-del?

    Everybody that experience and have a work around?

    Thank you!

    Hey Z,.

    I appreciate your response! That's actually what I thought as well. What is strange, this is even after the firmware update, it seems, the question was always present, but I just had my laptop for a while and it booted up and it starts right in Windows.

    I was thinking about it. On the first boot after the update of the firmware probably had some time to "finalize" the update of the firmware, firmware update require a power cycle.

    Maybe the firmware update solve the problem after all, and it only took an another start after the initial report so that it can work properly

    I guess my advice to anyone having the same problem with a disc OCZ Vertex 4 is to spend at least 1.5 firmware (which is what I am now, and it's working properly). Beware that OCZ 1.3-> 1.4 and 1.4-> 1.5 will destroy the data on the disk, so if that's your primary drive, back up everything.

    I'm glad it works now!

  • MacBook does not recognize the password.

    We just bought the WRT160N router.  We have 3 PCs and 1 attached MacBook.  All PC worked instantly on the internet but when you put the password for the network on the Mac, it is not recognized.  The security is set to WEP, but it can also be set to WAP2.  When security is disabled, the Mac has been able to get on the internet.  We used a password that has been long enough and it doesn't seem to be case sensitive - does anyone have any other suggestions?  We do not want disable security...

    Thank you

    Well, I appreciate everyone's input, but none of them seemed to work.  I tried but the encryption key for the Linksys router and that worked.  If the Mac is running.  Thanks for this interesting information which lead me to read on the airport of Mac and the connection with a program 3rd party!

  • Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

    Hello

    I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

    They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

    Someone knows how to solve this mess?
    Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
    Any other ideas would be welcome.

    As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

    Hello

    I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

    I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

    I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

  • Aspire One d255 does not recognize the usb connected external ssd drive

    I want to replace the original HDD 160 GB with a 120 GB Samsung ssd 750 evo but bios and win 10 does not recognize the ssd drive as an external drive connected via a usb connection, so I couldn't create an image of my internal hard drive.  Is there a way to clone my hard drive SSD, so I can exchange the disc later?  I need to update the bios, install a missing driver, etc. ?

    I used two different connections: one is a 2.5 "SATA case disc that I used with a disk 2.5" HARD and works very well with the HARD drive and the other is SATA/IDE connector combination with cables for SATA and power and none of these works.  I read in another forum during my research that the Aspire One d255 doesn't recognize any external SSD connected through a USB either.  Since my netbook has no data, and I had just a pure 10 Windows installed on his drive HARD internal, I removed the 160 GB HARD drive and replaced by a 120 GB SSD and installed another Windows own 10.  It worked and my system boots now in less than 20 seconds.   We can close this thread now since I now have a faster machine fully function.  Thank you!

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (full version) - OEM
    Intel Core i5 - 3570K
    Card mother GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H
    Crucial Ballistix 2 x 8 GB DDR3 1600
    Crucial M4 2.5 "128 GB SSD (system disk)
    WD Green WD30EZRX x 4 (data readers) 3 TB drive
    Rosewill Challenger-U3 ATX Mid Tower Case
    SeaSonic M12II 620W 620 Bronze PSU
    ASUS DVD writer

    The DSS must be LOW LEVEL FORMATE.

    Once, there may be no other [HDDs] not connected to the SATA ports.

    Install Windows 8 Pro now.

    [Edit] Can someone please mark this as answered? I can't because I posted the question. Thank you.

  • LR6 does not recognize the .nefs of D7200

    I installed LR6 into my Macbook Pro and upgraded to Yosemite at the same time.  LR6 works as well as previous versions on my .jpegs, but does not recognize the .nefs.  It doesn't matter that the same .jpegs if the .nefs are next to them on the PHOTO and are selected.  What Miss me?

    Thanks, Ron

    Hi rjb.

    Nikon D7200 is compatible with version 6.0 of Lightroom.

    As you already have Lightroom 6.0, then you used Nikon transfer to transfer the files, if this is true, please do not use Nikon transfer and try directly import into Lightroom.

  • Power mac g4 does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  It has worked very well in Leapard

    I just newly installed Tiger on my PowerMac G4, and now it does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.  I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.  It works perfectly before a new clean install DVD of the Tiger.

    What is your indication that the DVD is not recognized?

    Run the utility disc with the disc in the optical drive.  The drive will appear in the sidebar of disk utility?

    I did all the updates and it does not see the DVD in the DVD drive.

    If you put another type of disc in the optical drive, as a music CD, it is recognized?

    I paired a non-Apple clone keyboard and it was somewhat capricious. You go to the remote controls and devices-> Bluetooth, enable matching on the keyboard, and it should appear in 'other devices '. You select and enter the number to validate. It requires no tvOS 9.2.
