Move SSDS to a MBP to a newer MBP

I'm looking for a 2008 Macbook Pro 4.1 update 17 "A1261 to a Macbook Pro Unibody 8.2 2011 15" A1286

The 17 "Macbook Pro has an SSD that has a managed installation of OS X El Capitan. Is it possible to remove the 500 GB HARD drive at least 15 "Macbook Pro and replace it with the SSD at 17"?

Will be the OS X installation disk SSD adapt to newer hardware on the 15 "?

It is advisable to do you a clean install to make model mac for the Setup program to identify specific components to the mac during the installation phase and not simply 'swap drive '.

  • What is the fastest connection that I can use for a new external SSD for my MBP late 2008?

    That IS the question. I want a new external SSD for my MBP late 2008.

    What is the fastest connection type that works?

    'External' and 'SSD' could be a problem.  SSDS are different animals of disks spinny.  Some will say that you need not trim on SSD (TRIM is a management tool to move only the ' opportunity' bytes in a block when the block of data is moved), but definitely TRIM does not work on USB or Firewire.  Not sure if the TRIM works on Thunderbolt connected readers as it does on disks SATA-path, however.

    Speed included between slower and faster, however: USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800, USB 3.0, love at first sight.

  • Conversion HARD SSD drive on MBP 2010, need to program

    I have a 17 "middle MBP 2010 and in the process of conversion of SSD HARD drive.  I use the latest version of Mac OS X.  What program is recommended to mirror, for the SSD HARD drive image before installing? Or should I simply to reinstall all the programs instead, and then add the data?  A problem, I think that I have on this last approach is that I have many books in iBooks who came not through iTunes, and I see no way to export the data.  Are there times or saving strategies that I use in this business, the question of iBooks and the whole process of frustration?

    To install an SSD in a MBP is fundamentally no different from a HARD classic disc.  Format the SSD drive in disk utility > erase to Mac OS extended (journaled) and then copy the HDD to the SSD.  I recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner for data transfer.  It copies everything. including the OSX and the recovery partition.

  • Not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (Windows XP to Windows 7).

    Original title: Easy Transfer password XP to Windows 7.

    I try to use Easy Transfer to move files from my old computer to new computer (XP to Windows 7). I didn't have a password on my old computer, but cannot transfer to the new without one. I tried every password I never used (caps on and outside), as well as the code given at the beginning of the Easy Transfer, but nothing works. What can I do? (I use an external hard drive)

    Hello

    If I'm wrong, please let us know why, but my assumptions that are

    • Your old XP machine is usable
    • It still allows to log
    • There is no password required when you don't sign

    So you can try this...

    1. Click Start
    2. Click on Control Panel
    3. Click on user accounts
    4. Give your XP logon password
    5. Restart your XP machine
    6. Try Easy Transfer and him give the password that you set in step 4

  • Can I move my current Adobe programs to a new computer?

    Can I move my Adobe currently installed on my new computer programs? If so, what are the steps?

    Thank you!

    You don't move, you must install them correctly by using your original or downloaded installation media installers and serial numbers. Turn off your programs on your old system, also using Help--> Deactivate. When you install, obey the command of the correct version - older versions before to avoid the more recent conflicts. That's all what to do. If you are having specific problems, come back to this forum.

  • New SSD + RAM and mbp worsened?

    Data sheet: 2010 13-inch, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MBP

    8 GB ram

    SSD 256 g

    System: el capitan

    Hey guys, quick question: thought I'd give my mbp a second life recently and traded the BLAH new ssd hard drive and is increased from 4 GB to 8 GB of ram.

    Kept reading other users as their like new mbp...

    On the contrary to me: it is slow, programs, videos offset, always have the beach ball. WiFi is always terrible, compared to when I had the mavericks. It is also very often about 80 degrees with the fan blowing...

    It almost feels like the new ram made 'worse', is it possible?

    If it of too 'old' to manage el capitan, should I just wipe and go back to the Mavericks (my original system)?

    Or try sth else?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Please provide the brand (s) of RAM and SSD drive you have installed.

  • Added the new kingston 256 GB ssd to my MBP 13 "2012

    I added a new ssd 256 GB kingstone to my MBP 13 "2012 and it worked fine for a month, today it has frozen and restarted without reason. and there is a folder with a questionmark in the middle of the screen icon. I once git to start again and now it stoped working again. Can any ideas on how I fix this?

    You can contact the manufacturer and see what are the provisions of the warranty.

    Start the recovery partition and run disk utility > first aid.

    If there is no problem, remove the SSD and install it in a closed Chamber.  Plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP.  If so, the internal SATA may have to be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • Move contents from the old PC to new PC

    Which is simplest and cleanest way to migrate all the content from my old PC (XP) to my new PC with Windows 8.1. Microsoft says it's to make a download available from Laplink (PCMover Express). This downloaded software will do the job if I connect the PC again to my router / FIOS network via an Ethernet cable and make the transfer of PC to PC over the network, or it would be more efficient to use the Laplink USB cable by buying their software?

    It depends on what you mean by "everything."

    In general, it is easy to move data files (e.g. documents, pictures, music, etc.) between machines, and if the machines are all connected to the same network, the copy on the network is the best way to accomplish the move (it is always prudent to copy, check the computer to see if everything is fine, and then delete the old computer instead of moving that automatically deletes the original files).

    Some applications, such as Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer, move the 'parameters' as well as data.  For the most part, this includes things like the customizations of office and similar customizations; It may also include the "Favorites" browser, music playlists and so on.  These 'settings' are really more data files, but they are located in more obscure places and the average user probably don't know the files to move or where they need to go.

    In general, you can not move the programs (applications).  These must be reinstalled (assuming they are compatible with the new version of Windows) using the original installation media (CD, DVD, downloaded the Setup file).  PCMover of Laplink, however, claims to be able to move the programs.  I've never used this product and I saw mixed reviews.  So if you either don't have installation media for your programs or you don't want to go through the resettlement process, read the reviews and decide if you want to take a chance on this program.

    Whether you use the USB owner or your network, apparently PCMover will work with both.  The main difference will be the transfer speed, and this will depend on the type of network you have and the type of USB connection available.  Typical home networks now have a theoretical maximum throughput of 100 Mbps.  USB 2.0 has a theoretical maximum of 480 Mbps.  Gigabit networks are faster and so are USB 3.0 connections (although I think would be that does not support the USB Laplink USB 3.0 cable).  Here's what a 2010 review had to say on this subject:

    With an external hard drive, USB2, we found it took about four hours to travel 30 GB of data, and beyond 100 Mbps Ethernet the same charge took more than a day of solid copy. Your best bet is a Gigabit LAN (if you have one) or the cable USB Laplink, which should in theory work around twice as fast as an external drive.

  • Move the apps into folders with the new IOS

    I installed the latest IOS update on my iPhone 6s and I can't organize my apps in folders more. The old method after pressing applications until it stirs seems not longer apply. When I want the app for a x-amount of time it gives me the option to 'share', not move it to the folder I created in advance (with former IOS) for it.

    How can I move my new apps into existing folders?

    You are too much pressure on the screen.
