• Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

  I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

  I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
  Here are my system specs:

  
  Presentation of the material:

  Model name: MacBook Pro

  Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

  Processor name: Intel Core i7

  Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

  Number of processors: 1

  Total number of cores: 2

  (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

  L3 Cache: 4 MB

  Memory: 8 GB

  Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

  Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

  Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

  What I tried (from what I remember):

  I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

  If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

  I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

  So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

  If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you

  If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.

• SSD for Macbook Pro 15 "(mid-2010)

  Hello everyone.
  I am trying to understand what would be the best solution between these two SSD (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d = 1YSYNG937RV48 & Coliidae = I1ZIEP8WMZVX9L & PSC = 1 or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S9Q9VS4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d = 1YSYNG937RV48 & Coliidae = /c1 > I2VNT5L9GELUEI & PS.)  to install in my Macbook pro.
  I need to spend as little as possible for the best performance I can get...
  These two looks great but as you can see that they have different prices and I don't understand what would be more practical to buy and why.
  I hope you can help me decide which is the best alternative between these two and especially where is the difference!
  Thank you!

  I recommend to other World Computing. They seem to be reliable and they take in charge of Apple computers.

• Dimensions of the macbook pro disc (mid-2010 13 ")

  Hi, so im intend to replace my hard shore with an SSD. However, I also want to remove the optical drive and replace it with the hard drive, I have right now (if I can use it for more space).

  I wonder if the drive I have is suitable in optical drive space (I know I may need to use an adapter). Is this possible?

  You need something like this.  It is made especially to mount your current HARD drive, there is no problem with the adjustment...

• MacBook Pro 13 "(mid-2012) do not recognize all internal HDD or SSD

  Hello, I have this very annoying problem with my Macbook Pro 13 "mid-2012.

  Two days ago he suddenly shows the ""folder with a question mark gray ' screen. " Reading online, I saw that many have had this problem in the past and that usually to fix just do this:

  -Restart the Mac, press Cmd + R, then the utility disk, check and repair the drive.

  I tried, but there was any Macintosh HD. There is rather a "disk0' with a score of"Mac OS X Base System.

  I tried also this, without success:

  -Remove the HARD drive and using an "all in 1 HDD Docking Station" try opening the hard drive of another Mac. It says that can not open the disk but I can erase it (did not, I still hope to recover data in the future with some software).

  -I already upgrade my Macbook Pro with an SSD, thinking about my drive HARD has been compromised, I bought a Samsung SSD 750 EVO (250 GB) and I replaced the HARD drive.

  -J' have formatted the SSD format "Mac OS X Extended (journaled)" and, from another Mac, created a boot USB with El Capitan installer disc.

  Then, with the SSD instead of HARD drive, I did all these things:

  -Start the Mac, press Option, start the USB key. But no "Macintosh SSD" has been shown when comes to decide where to install El Capitan.

  At this point, I was very confused and tried the last chance:

  -Start the mac without internal drive but with the SSD in the docking station. Boot from USB and try to install El Capitan on the SSD. And it worked!

  But stil does not work when I put the SSD inside the Macbook. Is possible whether the Sata cable who, from one day to the other, stop working?

  PS:

  I tried also Reset of the MSC and the Apple Hardware Test extended, giving "No problem found".

  I also tried to unplug the Sata cable connectors and clean the cable with a handkerchief, then incredibly SSD Macintosh appeared at the start of the USB, but installation failed at some point. And next time, I tried the SSD disappeared again.

  This problem is driving me crazy and I hope someone can help with suggestions. Thank you

  Yes.

  A NEW SATA cable will probably will correct the problem.

• Updated the MacBook pro 13 mid-2014 SSD?

  I have a macbook pro 13 mid-2014. Apple would upgrade my 128 GB to 512 GB SSD? If Yes, for how long?

  There are aftermarket solutions such as http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-up...

  I don't think that Apple upgrades an SSD, once the computer has been purchased and is beyond the date of return of 2 weeks.

  Note: I do not know how to do it yourself can affect your warranty. I see some posts where people say that to replace your original drive if you need to take Apple computer for other services.  For some things that apple might consider a guarantee like no or even flat our refuses to do something with a computer, even if beyond warranty if they have an indication any anyone, but Apple did something inside a computer, but nor will they upgrade a SSD - it is intended (unrealistic) buy you a SSD which will be to always meet your needs.

• MacBook Pro 15 mid 2014 video retina

  Hello I have a macbook pro 15 mid 2014 model I was way to work on a project all of a sudden my screen started to get grey clear to the point that I couldn't see anything, I end up turning off the system. I turned on it soon as apple logo lights up it is middle of the line of the screen, then screen has lines everywhere and it crashes at the charge of the osx. I also connected to the external monitor screen very blurry problem.

  Is there a recall on this model?

  

  I'm not aware of the recall ant on a MBP of 2014.  From the symptoms you describe, there is a problem with the MBP GPU.  Try a reset of the NVRAM:

• The upgrade of the MacBook (13-inch, mid 2010) HDD and RAM

  Hi all!

  Before I get started here are my system specs:

  MacBook 13 inch, mid-2010 (white)

  Model: A1342

  Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 320 M 256 MB

  Serial number: 451244SHF5W

  Software: OS X El captain

  OK here's what I've done the research and understand from my research since a page archived Apple.com, ifixit.com and crucial.com and some comments I've read as well:

  According to ifixit.com, saying that most of this computer can manage is a 750 GB hard drive, yet I go to Crucial.com and when I look at the SSD (which I can't afford) says that this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Does this mean I could install a hard 1 TB? This computer can manage a second 500 GB hard drive at all? My second Question is in what regards the memory now, I go to apple.com page archived and is no longer being updated by Apple, it says most who manages this computer is 2 GB to 4 GB. I am not convinced. Is not possible to move to 8 GB to 16 GB or more on such a system? I'm just curious, I bought this from a seller on eBay who reconditions the Apple laptops and I bought this for a member of the family. If none of these improvements are possible I send this computer back and get my money back. Thanks for the help. I need a response as the end of today! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

  It's the right information:

  A model of Macbook 2010 7 identifier, 1 will support up to 16 GB of RAM (download the OWC)

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_Wh ite

  You can install a SATA HDD/SSD currently available that are 2 TB of capacity.

  You can install a "data cube" instead of for a second HDD, but as this Macbook DVD drive can have a 2 TB of HARD disk installed, I see little interest to do unless you have an extraordinary amount of data.
