possible to use from 2010 to 2012 macbook air SSDS?

Hello

Accidentally, I bought the wrong hard drive for my macbook air from 2012.

I bought a 2010-2011 ssd and it does not fit. Is there a converter/adapter that I can use to adapt the ssd in my macbook air 2012?

Thank you

Dave

If it does not fit, there is no way to make it work.

Ciao.

  • Is it possible to use the player VLC on MacBook Air or it will damage my speakers and void the warranty?

    I use MacBook Air (11 inch, early 2015) and I want to use VLC as my default media player.

    I wonder if it's ok to use it, or can it harm my speakers and void my warranty?

    I learned that a lot of companies like HP and Dell laptop refuses warranty if VLC player is used on their laptops.

    Is - it the same with apple or apple hardware is good enough to manage this great software?

    Thank you

    It is ok.

  • Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    I use a MacBook Air, 13-inch, mid 2013, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I am interested in Apple TV. With this product I was able to connect my Epson EB - S18 projector to my Mac in order to project movies that I bought on iTunes on my wall of the apartment? Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself? Must they be downloaded in SD and not HD? Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port? Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector? Please notify.

    Thank you very much.

    Can I use your Apple TV with MacBook Air

    Yes! AirPlay with an AppleTV is the easiest to use and less complicated solution.

    SD / HD makes no difference.

    You will only be able to enjoy the full quality of an HD movie with a better projector however. This model projector is not really intended for presentation of home theater. It will work well. As you can imagine that there is no upper limit on the amount, you can overlook these things, but $2000 is going to buy a nice home theater projector these days. A few years ago, you would need to spend $ 50,000 or more.

    Would be there is always a problem to play these movies 'protected' outside the computer itself?

    No, not if you bought (or leased) from iTunes. They have to play on any device compatible iTunes. You can even use AirPlay to distribute it to your AppleTV from an iPhone.

    Can I use a patch to connect my Mac to the Thunderbolt port to the projector via the HDMI port?

    Yes.

    Can I use a patch to connect the VGA cable to the port on the computer to the projector?

    Not without a converter. Avoid using the VGA if possible. It's a terribly outdated and generally horrible alternative to any digital standard. Since your MBA has a port Thunderbolt, and if your projector has a HDMI input, buy a cheap (± $10) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter cable. But AirPlay is preferable to a wired connection.

    Is it possible that replacing the battery in my MacBook Pro 2012 will cost me $400 excluding work? This seems downright punitive.

    Indeed, it is, but as it is not correct do need to get excited.

  • Excessive use of data on the MacBook Air

    Just made the switch from PC to Mac.  MacBook Air (El Capitan) with tons of data at startup.  I disabled automatic downloads in the app store.  What can I do else?  Using 3-400 MB every morning.

    Any client on a network, including wireless clients, you don't know, could be the consumption of bandwidth. Networks Wi - Fi must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours is not, change the setting of security on the access point. If it is already defined in this way, change the password. Make a chain of at least 8 random characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to remember it. in fact, you should not be able to remember.

    You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device or in a web browser otherwise.

    If the network or the password was precarious, and bandwidth utilization returns to normal after it, you can be sure that the problem was caused by intruders.

    But the intrusion may not be the question. Most of BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox or another application of data on clouds intervenes when mysterious bandwidth by a Mac using. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box at least iCloud in its pane preferably by car and see if there is no change. If you use a backup software or the third-party network file-synchronization, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.

    Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.

    Please launch the activity monitor 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.

    Select all processes in the view menu, if not already selected, and also select the network tab.

    Click on the header of the column of bytes transmitted in the process table to sort the entries of the bandwidth. You may have to click twice to get the highest value at the top. What is and what is the process? Repeat with column bytes Rcvd.

  • 2012 MacBook Air 13 "Service battery

    I bought a 2012 refurbished MacBook Air in 2013 and through the last 2 years I have gone through approximately 484 cycles of battery. (I am a student and use the computer every day for school work). Last week, he started the "Service battery" alert. I never get more than 4 hours if I don't have Chrome open. I use Premiere Pro a lot on battery, would that be a problem?

    Thank you, Jakob.

    The popup of the Service battery indicates that your battery needs replacement. You can always use the battery being, however it will not last as long as expected by Apple. You will need to make an appointment-genius bar and take the MacBook Air to your store local Apple to get the battery replaced if you do not want to do, but unless the MacBook is still under warranty, it will cost $129 + tax, as shown below. I hope this helps!

  • Mid-2012, MacBook Air of random stop

    I tried to find a solution to more than a year. My MacBook air has been cutting randomly without warning.

    At first I thought it was overheating, so I installed Mac Fan Control and cranked up the fans, but it always stops around 60-70 ° C temperature of CPU, which should be good. The first three years, I owned the computer I never had a single problem and the fan never accelerated where she was audible 2 times.

    The error code in the log files is Cause of previous stop - 2, which I can't find a description of anywhere.

    I took the computer to the Genius Bar for a verification of the material, but the computer turns off as soon as they are trying to run the test. They wanted to change the logic board for $600 + then I said that I think about it.

    If anyone has experienced this? I can find no solution confirmed online and don't know if I have to replace the logic board or card IO first. When he died, it's like it lost power. Immediately turns off. It will not restart for at least 20 seconds, and if I turn on for a few minutes it turns off again before moving on to the screen. However, it will work perfectly sometimes for up to an hour or two.

    The computer was pampered life whole and never dropped or spilled on. Looking inside, it looks fine, but tbh I don't know what I would look for.

    If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd like to hear them. It's a mid 2012 Air i5 with 4 GB of RAM.

    EDIT: Also, I did the resets of SCM, this does not solve the problem.

    My macbook air is randomly video defects showing, screwed to the top of some parts of the screen, seems to be at the start, not so good once it heats up. It happens on the desktop, foxfire or in video games, that has happened before and after the update to el capitan. Sometimes the sections of the flash screen. Is this a known fault? is there maybe some some campaign to provide a repair? of course, my 3 years protection plan apple just expired

    I'm not aware of any program by Apple about the graphic problems with MBA.

    You can connect a monitor on the MBA and which could indicate if there is a problem of connecting GPU or display/display.

  • 2015 MacBook Air SSD adapter

    I'm working on an Air of MacBook 2015 for a customer.  The user spilled liquid on the keyboard, and now it does not start.  They took for a genius, whose repair estimate was high enough that they decided to buy a new MBP instead.  I restored their data from a backup and they are in good shape now, but now I want to wipe SSD of the MBA to keep their personal data to end up in the wrong hands.  Two days later and I still can't find an adapter that will allow me to access the drive on another Mac (I don't have an another MBA from 2015 to use).  Any of you know where I can find an adapter to do so, in order to connect to it and wipe it off?  Here are the specs:

    MacBook Air Core i5 - early 2015

    Model #: A1466 (EMC 2925)

    256 GB SSD (Samsung model #: MZ-JPV256R/0 has 2)

    The SSD has a 16 + configuration 12 pins on one side and a configuration pins 11 + 14 on the other.

    Link for reference: http://www.memory4less.com/samsung-ssd-mz-jpv256r-0a2

    I know Macs is very much a moving target because they always change their configurations, but this model came out a few years, and I'm a little surprised that I can't find any SATA or USB adapter for it.  Any ideas how I can erase the disc without physically assault would be greatly appreciated.

    OWC can have a speaker or you can find them on Amazon. Depends on what the SSD card is exactly in the computer. Some Apple computers do not use the standard pinout that Samsung and other manufacturers use to commercial cards, instead they use those who are owners. However, if the card has been damaged then it will be useless.

    Standard PCIe SSD cards have only a pinout on the map, not two, as you can see in the link you provided.
