  Initially, you Mac Pro came with an SSD.

  Just what failure symptoms are you having? Maybe your SSD did not fail.

  If necessary and if yo are up to it you can replace the SSD yourself

• Mac Pro early 2008 OS 10.6.8 at 10.11 on a new SSD upgrade

  Hi all!

  I want to spend my Mac Pro hard drive to an SSD with a new installation of El Capitan, but I also want to continue to use Adobe CS3 (I can't afford a new version... > _ <).  I read that some people have a lot of problems after upgrading their operating system, even when you use the legacy of Java 6 to CS3.

  Someone at - it good tutorials step by step to install a new OS on a SSD?  I have the adapter for my Mac to use the SSD drive also.  I'm not * that * tech savvy, so I don't want to spoil anything!  :\

  Would it not be possible to keep my current hard drive with Snow Leopard and run Parallels or Fusion for Adobe CS3 on my SSD?  I've never used Parallels or Fusion (preferences?), so where the Snow Leopard operating system to be need?  On a partition on the SSD or can it be on its own hard drive (the one I'm currently using)?

  Also do not know when I improve my OS, how do I tell my Mac to start El Capitan and not Snow Leopard so I keep the older operating system on its own hard drive?  It is system-> startup disk preferences?  Is that how I can go back, if I need to?

  Here are my specs:

  Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro 3,1)

  Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz

  16 GB RAM 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

  HARD drive 500GBx2 (one is currently my Time Machine, I'll use it as a backup of my photos)

  500GB SSD (no not in my Mac still installed)

  4 TB HARD drive (will have Time Machine on half)

  El Capitan would be really slow on my Mac Pro or should I go with the Mavericks or Yosemite?  I'm just trying to extend the life of my Mac as long as possible!

  I'm really sorry for all the questions!  Thank you very much for any help!  ^____^

  ~ Christina ~.

  -Unless you have already "purchased" Mavericks or Yosemite is is not available for download.

  -I just download the installer of El Capitan from the Mac App Store and run it and order that EL Capitan to be installed on the new SSD. You can then by pressing the Option key at startup to choose which version of the OS you want to boot from. You can set either as the default startup in system preferences > startup disk.

  -During installation, you use the configuration wizard to migrate SN drive stuff. YO can also do it later using Migration Assistant but who has created a new used with the migrated data.

  -With 16 GB of RAM and an SSD El Capitan will be fine

• Should I partition my new SSD once I install it?

  End of 2011 MBP 17 inch

  A new SSD Crucial. I have heard some say that you should partition the new drive before you reinstall a new copy of Mac OS x. Is this true?

  Yes. True for all new hard drives or readers drawn from non-Apple computers. Here's what you can do:

  Net Clean Install of El Capitan

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  10. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

• Failed to install the new SSD on OSX support!

  Hello!

  I'd be happy if anyone of you could help me out here!

  I have questions, try to install a new own OSX on a new SSD on my Macbook Pro mid-2012.

  I have done this before on an Evo 840 500 GB Samsung without problems.
  This time, I use a Samsung Evo 850 1 TB, but when I try to install OSX it won't let me.

  I use (command + R to start) recovery mode and as a first step in disk utility, I couldn't format the new SSD in Mac OS x journaled, it just stopped at 50%.
  Then, I swapped the SSD for a normal (Non - SSD) hard drive, installed OS x on this drive without problem and formatted the SSD drive in disk utility on this new OSX on the HARD drive regularly after putting the SSD drive in an external enclosure.

  After that, I swapped for the formatted SSD HARD drive, but I still cannot install OSX. In disk utility from recovery mode it is said "not mounted" under the mount in the info Point. I tried the strength to mount it in a Terminal too, but it will not be displayed as installable disk mounted when you run OSX installation.

  Help greatly appreciated!

  The SSD will appear in disk utility when it is connected to the MBP via USB?  If so, format it in disk and Carbon Copy Cloner utility to copy the internal HARD drive to external SSD.

  When you are finished, test the SSD by starting the MBP with the option key down key, and then click the SSD.  If she starts the MBP, then swap in the MBP.  If it does NOT then the MBP, internal SATA cable is suspect and should be replaced.

• retrieve the time backup machine for new ssd internal

  I had to replace my internal HD on a 2012 end iMac, so I went to SSD.

  I had saved my first system and files in Time Machine before that.

  What is the process of a) formatted internal SSD new and b) recovering the original of external backup Time Machine?

  As I have to reseal the iMac just to make it work, I don't want to have to open it again to play with the new SSD!

  Hope that you already have a boot USB OS X in hand disc (I always have a copy must have on hand).

  Plug the USB into the USB port and Time Machine,

  by key pressing 'option' as soon as 'chime' begins.

  You can choose the selection of the boot drive.

  OR

  If your SSD does not start on her file (e.g. blank) - it should start automatically via the USB.

  (a) - Yes, using "disk utility" - in the menu bar superior, to partition the drive (GUID) first

  (b) then choose 'continue' to install the OS X - at the end, you will be asked few options - recover via Time Machine.

  After the restoration, you can run a few updates so that the system will work like the old set up.

  Most of the software should work, but somehow, some software required "activation key" again.

  Those notorious - Rosetta Stone (language). -J' had to communicate with them, uninstall the old drive first.  Microsoft Office can be too fickle.

  Make sure that OS X are the same version (you can't have 10.11 on Time Machine, try using the boot USB 10.10 disk) targeted installed OS X must be the same or more recent than the OS X version of the time Machine.  For example, if your Time machine backup contains 10.10, then you can either use drive start USB 10.10 and 10.11 for the restore process.

• Install the OS on new SSD

  I have an iMac 27 inches in 2009 and replaces the HD with an SSD. I have the new SSD installed and have a copy of a DVD/CD MBP OS. Can someone tell me how to get the operating system on the new SSD? Is it feasible with the disc MBP?

  Yes.

• Restoration of new SSD to timemachine

  I just put in a new SSD in my 2010 macbook pro (IIRC) 10.11.2 running.

  I have a Time Machine recently saved on an external backup. I tried to use internet to reinstall the OS, which worked. Then I sailed on my external hard drive for the restoration and my macbook sees from the outside, we see even the time machine backup, I did it yesterday but when I click on it, the following menu tells me that there is no time machine backups.

  Can I use the internet OS completely install and then use my outside for the Time Machine? But if there is a new version downloaded from the internet, which will interfere with the version that I have backed up on the outside?

  You may need to run TM at least once to get the dialog box "inherit the old TM" to appear, until it is recognized as a viable backup for your new drive.

• How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

  I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

  I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

  Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

  All advice is appreciated.

  installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

  It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

• How to clone my disk to a new SSD

  Hi, communities,

  My hardware: Apple Mac Book Pro (mid-2009), El Capitan running and an airport Time Capsule 3 TB (with Active Time Machine).

  I want to replace my HARD drive. It's easy to find out how to replace it in your Mac Book Pro, but it is much more difficult to find the best way to clone my new SSD HARD drive.

  So my question is: what is the best way and the easiest to clone my disk for my new SSD.

  Hope you can help out me. Most of the information I found was really old.

  Thank you and best regards

  Jacco

  Install the SSD in a closed enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB.

  Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD to Mac OS extended (journaled).

  You need a third party application cloning.  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner:

  
  

  https://Bombich.com/

  
  

  Run the application of cloning.  It will ask you if you want to copy the recovery partition.  Do.

  
  

  When you have finished the transfer of data/OSX, start the MBP with the OPTION key down.  Select the SSD drive and if it starts the MBP, make the transition with the HARD drive internal.  (You can install the HARD drive in case you used for cloning)

• How to put a new SSD in Satellite M50D-A-112?

  I had a M50D-A-112, and I want to put a SSD HD, instead of the HARD disk that is in the unit.
  I have a Toshiba Q series 256 GB SSD, but I'm not able to 'open' the laptop. I removed all the screws but cannot remove the rear shield. I'm afraid to use for excessive violence do. HA someone some experience I swap hard drives in this model.

  Any help will be greatly welcome.
  Concerning

  On most laptops Toshiba, it is possible to remove the battery, RAM or HARD drive cover and do drive HARD or RAM upgrade and it can be made by the owner of the laptop. It is also described in the document s user manuals.

  Due to the special construction, this can be done with your laptop. with other words, Toshiba does not support such a change by the owner of the laptop. My advice to you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They have manuals how this notebook must be dismantled and they can swap the HDD with new SSD. Please note: If you try to do it on your guarantee will be cancelled.

  Before you anything please create recovery media (USB) that you can use to install an operating system on new SSD.

  Bye and good luck.

• Tecra A50-A-12F - how to set the new SSD to be recognized correctly?

  Greetings,

  I installed a new SSD in my laptop, the operating system starts normally.
  I bought a caddy for the old drive. Before editing deleted the partition and all connected with it.

  After all mounted when I start the system can not find because it gives priority to the HARD drive.
  There is no option in the bios that allows you to set which of the readers is the original.
  Can free a BIOS to fix this problem?

  Thank you
  Henrique Morgado

  After reading your ad I m a bit confused. In the middle of your laptop when you remove the cover of the memory/HARD disk you can find original 500 GB. OK you have removed and swapped with SSD. I imagine that you have installed the original recovery image and everything is OK.

  What I don't understand is what what did you exactly with old original HDD. Can please explain you once again? How do you use it with your laptop Tecra? I don't have this model of laptop, but it is unclear to me that you can use two drives with him. I'm wrong about this?

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.
