Paginate a hard drive from a MacBook Pro of dead in an older Machine

HI, my problem seems to be slightly different than I've seen it comes here or elsewhere before. After a hard life, my early 2011 MacBook pro 15 "is dead. In recent months the usb Sockets have been unreliable and wifi no longer works, so a few days ago he crashed and will not restart. The hard drive is newer than the rest of the laptop being a 480 GB of sandisk ssd drive. I have been given a little older but in better condition MacBook Pro (mid 2010) and would like to swap the hard drive and restore my data, applications etc. From a time machine backup.

My question is, how do I reverse the readers and set things on another machine. Do I reformat the hard disk and do an install clean then restore from time machine, or is there another way of doing things? I was running from El Capitan on the original machine, 2010A currently replacing an older operating system. I'm quite happy with the opening of the laptop, physically swapping drives etc., I just want to understand how best to make the transfer and resume my backup system.

Thank you

Andy

If you take the SSD to the Mac has failed and install it in the 2010 MBP, it should work.

Ciao.

    I'm afraid that if something is not Apple does not work on it because I have installed by a third party.  If I bought a refurbished Apple, they cover with the warranty...

    Replacing the drive does not cancel any warranty... you got the instructions with your system to replace the RAM and HD.  The only thing the Genius Bar should do is charge you for repairing the damage you cause change RAM and HD.  But... I changed the two enough times to know that it takes every inch to do this.

    iFixit.com has instructions for changing the RAM and HD.  Or an Apple authorized qualified service center.

    OWC (macsales.com) door RAM and SSD (more expensive, faster) and HDs (less expensive, slower) that can stabilize your system.  HD + RAM would be about $200, add in $100 extra for disk backup and external fixation for the reader.  You can do it.

    Hi people

    I had an another MacBook pro from my friend, as he upgraded. He had sold his hard drive to a person. so he came without a HARD drive. However, it was good for me because I upgraded my other MacBook 1 TB/SSD.

    I was then left with my old 500 GB HDD from Yosemite. The question is that I have to wipe this drive/erase, mac extended newspaper, before that I can install? I got so backups on my external hard drive of it.

    I've done it before with my mac mini, but I do not remember, got a mind like a sieve

    Advice will be very useful.

    Concerning

    Install the HARD drive and see what happens.  You will not damage the MBP in doing so.

  • What can I put the RAM and the hard drive of a Macbook Pro 13 "2014 in a Macbook Pro 13" 2016?

    The main logic of my Macbook Pro 13 "2014 card is broken, and it turns out that it will be much easier and just slightly more expensive, buying a new Macbook Pro that, in order to replace. I would like to set up my new Macbook Pro 13 "online in a way such that it is as cheap as possible, while always respecting the level of my former. So, if I could order one with the minimum of RAM and disk space hard and then put these pieces of my old in the new, this would be ideal. I don't know so much about it, and the question is: is it possible?

    my old Mackbook Pro 13 ":"

    -purchased new August 2014

    -3.0 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5

    -DDR3L 16 GB 1600 MHz SDRAM

    -Storage flash 512 GB PCIe

    -Intel Iris graphics card

    I'll get to buy e new generation Mackbook Pro 13 "with:"

    -2.9 GHz i5 or i7 3.1 (I've not yet decided)

    -RAM: Here I want to configure it with as little as possible, if I can just put the chips of the old in the new. Is this possible?

    -Hard drive: same thing: if possible, I want to get the cheapest option and simply put the old in the new. Possible?

    Thank you in advance to anyone who might take a few minutes to help out me! It would be much appreciated!

    The RAM is not transferable, and the reader will be not as fast as the original of the newest computer; In addition, change it the warranty of the news of the computer.

  • System library on the external hard drive at home, macbook pro travel?

    I migrated my library 250 GB + opening of the photos app and designated as a system library. It is located in a 5 d Drobo (without optimization, i.e. contains all original), which I can't take with me when traveling. I activated the iCloud 3 days ago photo library library half transferred which is pretty good, I guess.

    Then, when I travel I'll take my camera and the Macbook pro along.  I want to change the new photos on the road and not wait until I return home. I want to end up with my new photos in their full versions in the library of Drobo and iCloud.

    1. when I import new photos for my MBP pictures open and create a new library automatically?

    2. If I named this new library as a library system photos will merge with the photos in the cloud?

    3. when I go back and fix my MBP on my Drobo, the new photos will end up in the library of photos of Drobo if I designate as a system library again?

    4. I can then remove the library of 'travel' from my MBP without deleting anything my iCloud and Drobo.

    Also, I'm still on Yosemite. I was already on El Capitan 10.11.1, but upgrading to 10.11.2 was a nightmare, installation stalled repeatedly, I couldn't go back 10.11.1 because it stagnates too and had to return to Yosemite 10.10.5 back up I got the time machine. Photos is 1.0.1. MBP is mid-2014.

    I understand a improvements in El Capitan pictures, but

    5. the foregoing have an effect on my problem 1-4.

    I hope someone can help.

    Many thanks in advance,

    Olli-Matti

    1. when I import new photos for my MBP pictures open and create a new library automatically?

    When you launch Photos and your library is not available because the drive is offline, Photos will ask you which library to use. You can create a new library at this stage or open a new one.

    2. If I named this new library as a library system photos will merge with the photos in the cloud?

    Yes, but the photos will all be first download all photos in iCloud in the library of new, local Photos on your Mac. iCloud library aims to keep all the libraries of identical to the version in iCloud iCloud and update. Don't switch to another library in the library of the system, when your external drive is offline. each switch will result in massive downloads and uploads, for several days.  And download my not fit on your internal drive.

    3. when I go back and fix my MBP on my Drobo, the new photos will end up in the library of photos of Drobo if I designate as a system library again?

    4. I can then remove the library of 'travel' from my MBP without deleting anything my iCloud and Drobo.

    I recommend to use the new library locally and wait until you get home and have access to your external drive.

    Then, use PowerPhotos to merge your new photos in your photo library in the system.  It is a great tool to manage libraries of separate pictures.

    You can download a free trial here: Fat Cat Software

    Or use the web interface of your iCloud photo library.  You can download directly to your iCloud photo library without launching Photos on your Mac.  Go to www.icloud.com, launch the Photos.app on this web page, then download the new photos.  Then they will be downloaded into your library of Phtoos on Drobo when you connect your player and open your system from Photo library again.

  • Update hard drive in the MacBook Pro (early 2015)

    What type of SSD will work in a MacBook Pro 13 inch screen of early 2015? I was told by someone that Apple no longer use the SATA drives and they now have their own exclusive hard drives and hard drive connectors. Can someone clarify this for me? I want to upgrade a 256 GB to 500 GB drive.

    New mac systems use style card SSD instead of 2.5 in block style (search for mSATA and M2 style SSD).  Apple uses a protocol of interface owner so you can not buy any card SSD on shelf.

    Another use main contributor a low profile SD card like this http://www.microcenter.com/product/441001/128GB_SDHC_Flash_Memory_Module that can stay connected to the SD slot card all the time and not poke out.  Also external fencing to swap nu-disks for a virtually unlimited storage.

  • Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
    I discovered the net without success.

    A diagram with being usefully etc.

    kind regards J

    Hello

    I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

    When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

    Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

    But if you still have some questions then request.

  • Someone at - it problems of heat upgrade to a 7200 RPM HARD drive in a MacBook Pro 13,3 "2.5 GHz Core i5 (A1278) - mid-2012, MD101LL/A?

    HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

    Addendum: There will be no observable heat problems.  I did it several times myself on all of my 4 Mbps.

  • CD transfer to external hard drive with a MacBook Pro

    Is it possible to use iTunes as a way to transfer old CDs to an external hard drive. I want to get rid of the real disks and won't use often but don't want to lose the music.

    Temporarily place preferences iTunes (Advanced) to point to your external drive for the location of the press folder "iTunes" and then rip the CD into iTunes.  Who's going to put them in your iTunes library, but native files will reside on the external hard drive.  Once completed, change your iTunes preferences back to what it was.  If/when you disconnect the external hard drive, the songs will remain as entries in your library in iTunes, but will be not playable until you reconnect the external hard drive.
