MacBook pro 2009 with new SSD try to clean install Yosemite or TM disaster restoration.
Hello.
I think this is going to be a difficult discussion.
Unibody MacBook Pro 2009. Original Apple HDD with Yosemite 10.10.5.
Two months ago, that my HARD disk is dead.
I installed a new SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive and through the recovery of TM all went well.
A couple of weeks, my 'new' SATA II Toshiba 1 TB HDD started to scratch a little (I mean literally zero while reading/writing), so I thought he would die soon again. This time, I decided to buy an SSD in order to have better performance and superior durability.
So I bought a Toshiba 248 Gb SSD. I'm not a big fan of Toshiba, but where I live, it's the SSD only I found in the store.
I removed the old HDD, I installed the new SSD and where my nightmare starts.
First of all, I tried with a new Installation of USB from Yosemite. I followed all the passages and the installation completed in about 9 days. Yes you read that right: 9 days. The progress bar runs for 9 DAYS.
At the beginning I obviously interrupted the first couple of facilities when the progress bar was like "12 minutes at the end" for three or four hours, but then I read in many articles and support threads that it is quite usual installation seeks stuck for hours or days, but if you open the log console computer is always something. So I gave him his time and the third or the fourth installation I waited my NINE DAYS to be finished.
Then when the installation ended the restarted mac of himself and is stuck at the loading screen with his beautiful Apple and the progress bar frozen at about 50%.
I froze for about 4 or 5 hours of average.
I found a few articles that sometimes happens, and all you have to do is to force the computer to shut down and start again. So I tried to force the shutdown by holding down the power button and after the reboot it just keeps starting with and stuck at first infinite progress bar.
So I reboot on CMD + R to get a clue, if I got in trouble on the SSD or what. I run disk utility and found that on my SSD were about 290,000 files and many files as the Yosemite was finally installed. I tried to check the permissions, but it says less than a minute and then got stuck at halfway to complete 15 minutes, so I stopped it.
After that I think 4 or 5 attempts to start new fresh install on my Yosemite and clean, I reset the SSD erase decided to start all over again.
I died a little inside while doing it. Same as the erasure was so f * king quick to finish! (about 50 seconds, sonofa 'byte').
Then I tried to not reinstall Yosemite again (the nightmare of 9 DAYS still has me) but I have tried a new way: recovery of TM.
Just to say my original TM backup was about 340 GB and my new SSD is 248 only while it was quite clear he wasn't.
I connect my external TM drive to another computer and I worked the ' delete all backups of * file * ' to get a smaller backup TM.
Now, I moved a lot of things outside the TM backup and the new dimension of the TM backup is about 90 GB (I want to say that the whole folder backups.backup is about 90 GB), in fact I moved the other stuff was also inside the external Western Digital drive and is now free space Go 910 (, hence the content of the WD is just the TM backup folder this weight about 90 GB), but I still have the 'this drive doesn't have enough space to restore your system.', it's totally A LIE.
Never mind. I accepted the idea that sometimes even computers are ashamed of themselves and begin to tell lies. I can handle. There was a holy man in the history without any sin. So, ok, no problem. I'm not upset or anything. I can get over it (mf you little liar!).
Think of manually restore the files that I needed once I have a BONE in my new SSD, I used the same external disk to create a new backup from another computer, my Mac Mini TM. Everything went well and I got a new Mac Mini TM backup about 60 GB (it's much less than 248 GB of my new SSD).
I reboot the Macbook again to try to restore the backup, Time Machine of Mac Mini and everything seems to work, except for:
-progress initially said about 650 hours needed to complete the restoration ago.
-I went to sleep and let the machine itself working together on the restoration and when I woke up this morning I found that the rest of the time was "fair" 52 hours.
-J' was a little happy to see this, until the Rainbow rolling ball appears. Everything got stuck again. I force shutdown and then try to restore it.
Now it works again and the remaining time is close hours 672 (and growing). I'll give it another chance. We'll see.
Now, I have four questions to ask you:
1. you have an idea (with the exception of a curse or a matter of black magic) WHY all this happened? And of course if there is something wrong and I can work to fix it otherwise?
2 are there special settings to enable/disable/configuration/whatever to create works faster still to understand that it doesn't properly before discovering this NINE DAYS or 672 HOURS right now?
3. when we agreed that something like that was acceptable? I used to be a project leader in the world of ICT and in 20 years I NEVER, I say NEVER, released a product/app/site Internet/solution that considers that an option taken 9 DAYS to install or something like that. NEVER. Do not forget that we are talking about Apple and an operating system. I think Windows is laughingly taking revenge.
4. do you think that for me it is time to let Apple and go back WIN + PC? It's quite frustrating and I use the computer to WORK, not to play games video and this is not the kind of operativity expect after paying a little more for material, a little more for software, a little more to be part of what it is supposed to be the one that had the best choice (index not be not it kills me).
I thank in advance for any help/tip, you can provide.
Alberto
This is a fairly long post. What I would say is:
1. the next time get a hard drive from a company with a good reputation like Samsung (best SSD ever, I have several internal parts and a laptop EVO). I get them shipped.
2. as you use the Mini, the recovery partition allows you to install a new copy of Mac OS X, and then use the Migration Wizard to move your stuff.

MacBook Pro 2009 with slow SSD on El Capitan
Hi all
I recently put on the upgrade to El Capitan of Mountain Lion, that my Macbook Pro 2009, updated with a crucial v4 SSD and 8 GB ram, was very happy.
Had a very difficult installation that hung a few times, but finally got it set up after resetting the PRAM.
Since he has been very, very slow - beachball right turns and towers - opening an application are a 5 minute job. Printing takes 10. The SATAII connection shows as being to 3 GB, so it should be good. Any other El Capitan on a 2009 MBP running seem happy with it. I activated the trim, it made no difference.
I was not able to find someone else in line with the same config or problem, so grateful if someone has experience - I was wondering if it is worth getting an SSD different, or even the original HDD back in?
Thank you!
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Run the Console application in one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).
☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages
in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select
List of newspapers seen ▹ display
in the menu at the top of the screen bar.
Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.
The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.
Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters."

Use the iPad pro as a second screen on a Macbook Pro 2009 with OSX running on it.
Hello
I am to buy an iPad Pro and I would like to know if there is a chance that it might be connected as a second monitor on a Macbook Pro 2009 running Mac OS x Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance for your help.M.
Hello
You cannot connect them with wires. You can, however, all these 2 combinations of applications, use using your wifi home network:
http://Lifehacker.com/the-best-second-screen-app-for-iPad-1706351639
However, they all need two OS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, which means that the configuration is not possible under Snow leopard.
Your Macbook Pro supports the latest OS X (El capitan), you can update, although it will significantly slow down your computer as well unless you add an SSD.
See you soon,.

U2715H, MacBook Pro 2009 connection problem,
Hello
You just bought a U2715H, which is beautiful when you work with my MacBook Pro 2009. When I first set up, using the mini-DV to DV cable the minitor showed no link. Once again the connection several times the monitor came to life and everything was fine. Then I have experienced intermittent flicker - it would be turned off, turns on for a while, then turns off. After a few minutes he would return. I see that some people have had this problem, but I don't know what is the cause or the cure. I tried to run the diagnostics of the manual, and these were unremarkable. Now, having completed these tests I have re-attached the cable and I get zip. Recommendations on the cause/remedy? thx a lot
Alan
Unfortunately, Dell does not validate the test / most of our models of monitors ports on Apple hardware and software. Then, it will be a better idea.
You wrote mDV to DV. I think you meant the mDP to DP cable U2715H? Based on the U2715H image below, you connect that way?
MacBook Pro CDM on--> U2715H mDP to DP--> DP U2715H # 5 cable
The U2715H is expected to ship with DP disabled 1.2. You can try to open the U2715H Menu OSD (On Screen Display page 26) - view and see what's on DP 1.2. I doubt that this older Apple can support 1.2 DP, but you can try enabling it and see what happens.
You should also post on the Apple Discussions Forum and see if they can offer some insight or the troubleshooting steps.

SanDisk ultra II 480 GB ssd update for macbook pro 2009 (5.4)
Hi, this is not a question but just some information that I wanted to let down as I was cultural for this search but could not find any info anywhere here or elsewhere online...
My 6 year old, 250GB internal hard drive died and I decided to replace it with an ssd, after looking at all the options and additional information about compatibility issues, problems of crash/stand etc. I decided (without a clue and fingers crossed) with the sandisk ultra II ssd 480 GB
So far so good, the mac works amazingly fast, no el capitan osx installation problems and no problems with SATA speed negotiation, turns the 3gps. It is like having a brand new computer!
Conclusion: upgrade 100% recommended
I recently took a similar decision for my Mac Pro Tower silver server, install two 960GB SSD of this manufacturer (Sandisk).
The SATA 3 G bps Bus SATA Mac's limits you to a maximum of about 375 M bytes/second. Although this is a little slower than maximum speed than the SSD applications (on the order of about 500 cases of best M bytes/s), it is still fast enough.
Improving the speed on a rotating disk is so great, it is certainly useful.
Make sure that you activate the TRIM on your SSD. If ongoing 10.10.4 or later, you can use the Terminal command:
sudo trimforce enable
(your password is not included, you will be notified that it is serious, and a reboot will be once the TRIM is activated).

2011 Macbook Pro late since the SSD upgrade
Hello world. Just a heads-up that is my first question. Also, I like to think I'm good with computers but I'm no computer programmer, so I will try to describe my problem the best I can. My friend (who does) has updated my macbook at the beginning of 2011 pro with an SSD (brand is Crucial and 480 GB). As a side note we also tried with a Kingston brand and had the same problem. I'm pretty confident, that it was installed correctly. Since the upgrade, some functions are faster. For example open Google Chrome is faster than before the upgrade. I have problems when I look at the files and the use of the files stored on my hard drive. For example, when I watch a video that is saved on my hard drive on VLC (Quicktime) it will freeze all the minutes for at least thirty seconds. Also scroll through files Finder can lead to this gel. We are not quite sure what the problem is (my friend, so that good with the Mac is more of a PC guy). I saw other people posting here and thought maybe you all could help! I noticed that EtreCheck is very popular, so I made one of these reports for more details. I appreciate any feedback you can offer

I had a similar experience (occasional random delay of tens of seconds) upgrade my 13 "2011 MBP ("8.1"model), but my SSD was MacSales (Other World Computing). Their customer support has been excellent. They had me download and run a program of comparative analysis (Quickbench; it was free for me but apparently now costs $15) who served the SSD and allowed them to diagnose the problem as a bad 'HDD cable. I was dubious, but I went to an Apple store nearby, and after a lot of hassle, pushed them to replace the cable and that fixes the problem.
Of course, you might have a different problem but the defective hard drive cable is apparently quite common and appears only when you use SSDS (because of the faster transfer speeds, I guess).
As I recall (it was several years ago), the first Apple tried to make me pay $60 for the cable, more work, before they admitted he was covered under AppleCare. It is easy to replace. iFixit carry the cable and has great instructions to replace, but they seem to be out of stock at the moment (they have a button "Notify Me" for when it becomes available again). Try a local supplier of Apple authorized (use the Locator).
When you get your SSD is working properly, I hope that you will be very happy with it. It makes a huge difference for me.

Hello
So a few months ago, I upgraded my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012, OS X 10.10.5) with a SSD Samsung 850 Evo. Things were much faster and the other Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 Apple Mac 16 GB (2x8GB) was also nice.
One day, the Macbook has no more SSD, start repair of OS X and reinstalling did not help. If at start up the Mac, then applications suddenly crash randomly.
Strangely, exchanging for 500 GB disk drive factory solves all problems.
In addition, I can boot OS X from the SSD via USB3, but internally it does not work.
I tried different SSD from Apple, Sandisk and Samsung, which were to be properly formatted or have OS X installed, but the Macbook simply does not accept them and either shows a blank screen or screen issue/question mark. With a support boot utility disk sometimes recognize them and sometimes not. The internal SATA cable has also been replaced by about 5 different cables, but that has not solved the problem. Replace the RAM, unplug the various components such as Superdrive or Trackpad as well.
I can use the Macbook Pro normally but being prevented from using a SSD internal is a serious drawback. My next plan is to try the drive Caddy + SSD boot drive solution but somehow I fear that it could also do not work.
Wouldn't be a kind of failure of the Logicboard? I'm certainly not an expert, but don't really see any other reasons.
Thanks in advance!
any SATA enabled the logic board on a MacBook Pro after that 2007 should accept an SSD (I guess that ANY Board with SATA connectors actually are eligible for one SSD)
You may have damaged something with the Commission or if you are using any 3rd party with the DSS software is might be incompatible.
Readers work on other computers or is there no option to test this?

Games on Macbook Pro - retina with AMD M370X 2015
New to Macbook Pro laptops. I bought 10 TIA for frames here at my job and supported more than 2 years now.
Bought a new Macbook Pro the retina with the Radeon M370X graphics option 2015. I'm used to the game on Windows laptops and I have a question regarding battery drain.
Run these computers laptops always battery? HP, Dell, etc. I could take out the battery and it will run strictly on the current.
I ask because once I have Steam to load and install a game, I can play for about 45 minutes, while it is plugged in with the original 85W adapter, until the battery is at 5%.
This is normal behavior for this laptop?
Certainly, you can run the MBP with the charger connected even with the battery disconnected. I don't recommend that because the OSX will be butterfly of the CPU and performance should be degraded.

What do you use must be a serious resource hog. In rare cases, when the charger is plugged in but additional power resources are needed, the battery is charged for the difference. This is perhaps what is happening.
Try a SMC reset and see if there is a difference:

After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.) In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab. Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
