MacBook pro 13.3 "cable to hard drive

Hello

I'm helping a friend fix a macbook pro 13,3 "performance issues.

He was barely started, and terribly slow for disk seeks. I checked the hard drive with the utility, it was ok, but I replaced the hard drive with an ssd.

It was perfect with new ssd and safe installation of El Capitan, but in the third he became evil same as before.

It's so weird but I realized when I disconnect the hard drive cable for awhile then plug it in again, it works well for 3-4 boots then it become extremely slow... I know that this model has a cable problem, but I do not understand what kind of problem is this... I thought it might be a firmware issue, and I don't want to waste money on buying a new expensive cable...

One advise on this?

internal cables are actually not cables but fexibility printed circuits, usually mylar, with traces of printed circuits take the place of the son. This type of cable can experience cracks in traces due to aging, heat, vibration and impact. They can be damaged easily if the unit is abused during Assembly or reassembly.

Fairly inexpensive to replace.

    • My Macbook pro will not read my hard drive.

      The hard drive turns on, but then does not appear on my computer. I can't back up my computer or access files

      Does anyone know how to fix this?

      It would be useful that you mentioned EXACT model/year of your MBP and the current OSX.

      Is this a problem with an external HARD drive?  The MBP works normally otherwise?

      Ciao.

    • MacBook retina cannot find the USB hard drive when it is plugged again

      Hello world

      I have a MacBook retina 2015 computers and a hard drive WD elements USB3 that I use as a Time Machine backup when they travel. The drive is plugged into the USB - C through one of the Apple dongles and when I first start the computer, the USB is mounted and that it appears on the desktop. He does everything very well.

      When I want to take the machine away, I eject it, wait for the secure message and then physically disconnect the drive. However, when I go back and reconnect the drive, the Mac did not see it. The reader will be able as the light comes on and I can hear it turn. Just, it is not mount and is completely invisible for MacOS.

      I checked all connections, even used another dongle - no luck. A disconnect does not set, and I tried to reset the NVRAM. So far, the only solution is to reboot the Mac, afterwards the player reappears - at least until I need to unplug it again.

      Anyone got any ideas what is underway and if there is a fix?

      Thank you very much

      Mike.

      Hello, Mike Richards2,.

      Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

      This is I think understand that you are not able to see an external hard drive when it is ejected, and then reconnect the computer.  I have some suggestions that I hope will help you.

      It is important to try to isolate what is responsible for this.  The first thing to do to help isolate what is causing the problem is to start the computer in what is called Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

      Start in safe mode:

      1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
      2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
      3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
        You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
      4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

      OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

      Once the computer is running in safe mode, see if you can duplicate the issue.  If the problem does not appear, go ahead and try to reboot normally again.  If the problem has disappeared, it may have been caused by a problem of file or directory of cache fixed by booting in safe mode.

      If the question comes up, you'll want to check the login items.  Follow these instructions to remove the connection:

      OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

      Remove the connection, restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

      Have a great day!

      You have two activations and no more. If you need to register a third party, you will need to purchase another package. Yes, the installers can be copied to any media that you consider appropriate.

    • MacBook Pro (mid-2012) update to SSD drive

      Hello

      I'm looking in the upgrade of the 750 GB hard drive on my MacBook Pro for mid-2012 with an SSD of equal or greater size. Prices of SSDS become low enough that it is a good idea. But I don't know which way to arrive and I'm worried about that "trimming" I read on.

      I just saw a 960 GB SanDisk Ultra II SSD for a good price on Amazon and I was wondering if it would be a good choice, or should I be looking at higher training.

      Any advice?

      Thank you.

      Based on reputation and personal experience, the best SSD yo install in a MBP comes OWC and Crucial.  (I have 3 SSD Crucial installed in my Mbps) The final choice is always yours.

      Both of these choices, the FILLING is not necessary.  Other brands may be necessary to TRIM.

      Ciao.

    • Moving files from pro final cuts on another hard drive

      I have a mess.  I installed a new external hard drive more and all my files pro FCP move toward her.  I also want to delete unnecessary files to free up space.  I bought a cool program Final Cut Library Manager and was able to easily move all my libraries to the new drive.  I organized my new drive in folders, IE. Cup 2014 final, Final Cut 2015, Final Cut 2106 I my libraries in the years I've done them.  I libraries moved but I still all those other files on the old hard drive and I don't know what to do.   I have a folder named "Final Cut Library" and it is 500 GB in size.  Within the limits it are named Final Cut optimized Media, original Final Cut and Final heart Proxy Media media.  Can I just delete all of them in the finder?

      I also have a bunch of other files that seem to be names of library with the names of EDT.fcpbundle.  I need these files?  Can I just delete or move in finder?

      Thanks for any help.

      "There are the folders named Final Cut optimized Media, original Final Cut and Final heart Proxy Media media.  Can I just delete all of them in the finder? »

      These files are in the bundle of FCP X., you open the contents of the package?

      At any rate yo can remove from the Finder, please make sure that everything works well on the new external until you to empty.

      "with the names of EDT.fcpbundle"

      They will be back up files that are very small, probably in your home > movies folder.

    • Can I have macbook start up from my external hard drive instead of the internal HD of the laptop?

      I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

      Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

      Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.

    • Satellite Pro P70 - Has: 2nd invisible HARD drive - how to initialize the 2nd HARD drive

      I have a P70 - A. Satellite Pro
      'Primary' hard disk failed, and has been replaced by the service centre.

      Now, only the main hard drive is shown and the Service Center said that I had to 'initialize' the second hard drive to make it visible. They assure me that the hard drive is there, just hidden.

      How can I make visible?
      How do I initialize it?

      Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

      In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
      In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
      You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

      Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
      After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).

    • Cannot install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HARD drive

      Hello

      My HARD drive died, so I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660 - 1 9 to an SSD.
      I made a USB bootable with Win8 and starts very well.

      The problem is that it does not detect my SSD, so I can proceed with the installation.
      SSD appears in BIOS but not in Windows Installer.
      He said that there is a missing driver.

      I downloaded the AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even in this case, after you have selected the only rider that appears, it says no new device found.

      I tried to change the SATA from AHCI mode to compatibility mode and it's the same thing...

      What can I do?

      Thanks for the help.
      Best regards
      Bruno Moreira

      More old Windows XP need a driver AHCI Intel's but I think this isn't a problem with SATA driver missing because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers to recognize the SSD or HARD disk drive.
      In addition, the installation of the OS should be possible even if the driver would be added for this procedure, you must use the "compatibility" mode
      As you say, the compatibility mode is not working too, so I think there is another problem.

      However, page driver Toshiba also provides a driver Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) (Windows 8 - updated) you can try to add during the installation of the OS.

      But I m wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
      Have you tried to format the SSD using a different computer, then install Win 8?
      Give it a try.

    • Satellite Pro A60 and a new HARD drive

      I installed a new hard drive on my notebook and I can't launch Win XP pro or Win 98.
      During the sequence of booting with XP, I get the error message:
      Initializing device NDIS:
      WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR.
      I checked my bios settings, there are only two
      [HARD DISK MODE = Enhanced IDE (normal) and (standard), I have tried both to no success.]
      I can run 98 in safe mode, but when I use this mode I can access my DVD - ROM is more.

      Hello

      Please check this link http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-008712.htm.
      In my opinion, you should try to preinstall the device using recovery DVDs.
