• 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.

• restore the firmware for macbook pro 13 mid 2009

  Hi all! This is my first time using the support community so forgive me for any rudeness and English summary.

  I recently bought a used mid 2009 macbook pro 13 "with no disc on this subject, I installed a new empty 120 GB ssd drive.

  I asked a friend and he has downloaded and made me a usb bootable with osx on it (lion). I instaled the osx and got the macbook running successfully and it was perfect.

  I decide to update and went up el capitan wich sucessfully installed. After the update I tried it out, web navigation simple, when suddenly, out of nowhere the mac stop (much battery left and the led indicator to confirm) and has not started since... when I turn it on the led light flashes and it gives the s.o.s. beep (3 short beeps followed by 3 long beeps and then 3 short beeps) the optical drive made his usual looking noises of boot and the fan continues to spinning, I tried to remove the battery 10 minutes several times and nothing... I read a lot about the problems of ram tested with one stick at a time in the two slots and no improvement... bought a new pair of hynix 2 gb 1066 mhz pc3-8500 ddr3 sticks as recommended for this model and replaced the "old"... did nothing.

  I have no original discs just the macbook itself and the charger. Also tried to boot from the usb drive... not good... tried to start mode revovery... nothing that the black screen and a beep sounds.

  I did some research and read a looooot online and in discussions such as this apple and found it to be the sound warning for bad/corrupted efi rom (as opposed to the majority of people declaring it to be a ram issue) which needs to be restored or flashed... However, apple does not provide or at least I can't find a picture of recovery for my model cd special I know it's the macbook 5.1 (a1278 / emc2254). Is there any solution for this? Please help in some way that you can welcome suggestions!

  Thank you

• Questions new installation HD SSD for MacBook Pro

  I followed the online instructions how to install the SSD for my MacBook Pro. I then rebooted by Mac in recovery mode and formatted the drive in Mac OS extended (journaled). It was a little bit tricky message sometimes giving such as erasure of disk failures, but eventually it worked. I selected to install the OS on this HD. The image of the OS were first shown on OS X Lion, but my current OS is El Capitan. I just figured that he was installing the original operating system provided with the mac. The installation went well but then we he had finished wen timer back to 1 hour, 46 minutes. He made several times and after 6 hours, I decided to leave and start over. The second time after erasing HD and formatting again the OS that came was El Capitan for installation so I continued. This time, the installation has been completed and at the end says "OS could not be installed on my computer, reboot and try again." On the third attempt has received a similar message from the failed to install ' year error occurred during extraction of the files in the package "Essentials.pkg." " »

  Anyone has any idea why this doesn't work or suggestions please?

  About 2 months ago I reformatted my HD original as installed latest OS El Capitan as the mac has been slow. Does have a report with questions I get on doing the same thing with another HD?

  What model of MacBook Pro?

  Which SSD model?

  You have another Mac?

  Possible causes:

  -Incompatibility of your Mac with this specific SSD. Recently, some users have reported what appears to be these incompatibilities

  -You damaged the cable flex between the drive and the system board.  It is a common problem and causes intermittent problems initially and if it's even worse the Mac will see is even more disk

  -You have an another hardware problem as RAM bad or other component.

  I'd do it

  -Run Apple Hardware Test

  Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  -Connect an external drive and install OSX on this disc and boot from this facility and see if you have any problems

  -If you have another Mac download a compatible OS x Installer for the Mac App Store and create a USB bootable using device

  and install OSX on the SSD.

• Upgrade SSD for Macbook Pro?

  I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011) and I would like my mac by installing a SSD 15'. He got a 2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. My laptop started to slow down a lot and it lags when I use photoshop or when I'm editing videos, so I thought I should spend my hard drive for an SSD. But I don't really know what SSD to buy it. My friend recommended the Kingston SSD UV400, but I read that some people have complications after installing the SSD on their Macs. I really don't know much about these things, I'm looking for insight. Someone at - it recommendations for SSDS, I should get? I'm looking at a minimum of 480 GB for storage and, ideally, something lasting!

  Thank you very much!

  Currently, the best options are the OCZ ARC-100 series, the 850 series of Samsung (good price on Amazon) and 6G OWCseries. OWC also has tool boxes if you need it and installation tutorials. If you want to keep the HARD drive then you buy one of their media DataDoubler to put the old HDD in the space occupied by the optical drive. It can even include an enclosure for the optical drive.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it. [Permission to use any part of the foregoing has been granted by khati, exclusively, to theratter.]

• Upgrade to SSD for MacBook Pro 13 "(2011)

  I want to upgrade to a hard drive SSD for my notebook Early 2011 MacBook Pro.

  What are the specifications of the SSD looking?

  Is that the kind of 2.5 "(7mm)?"  I was looking at the card SanDisk Ultra II or similar model.

  What is the process or the workflow to change SSD?  (he just plug or do I need a prop?)

  I backed up my current HARD drive for Time Machine on a G-Drive external hard drive.  Can I restore my backup for the SSD of Time Machine, or are there additional steps?

  Thank you in advance.

  Any SSD with a box 2.5 "will be compatible with your MBP.  I recommend OWC SSD or critical based on my experience and other participants of CSA veterans.

  Installing the SSD is the same as for a traditional HARD drive.  Watch this video:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/

  You must format the SSD in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility.  You can use Time Machine to restore your data on the SSD.

  You can follow these guidelines:

• Repair Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010

  So it seems that my Macbook Pro Logic Board may be faulty.
  To add to that, my fans and my battery had to be replaced as well.
  I also have the question 'well known' with the graphics card, which makes the system crash when you perform certain actions.

  All repairs will certainly cost a new macbook, and of course there is no need to spend $ 500 only to logic board when I have other ongoing problems.
  I have read many articles and discussions where they say that Apple offers $ 310 lump sum that covers repairs to equipment, called "repair".

  However, I contacted apple support and they told me that this package applies only on iPhones and no Macbooks, even if all the articles and discussions I've read are referred to laptops.

  Do you know if this is true? And if this, how do I request it?

  My Macbook is under warranty and was bought in Italy. But I am now in New York (I have read that this special repair happening just in the USA and Japan).

  Thank you!

  If you ask Apple to fix it and Apple has given you an answer... that must be the right answer.

  We are simply other Mac users like you and depend on Apple to get answers on how it would be for Apple to make a repair.

• 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...

  What is the best OS for Macbook pro 13.3 mid-2010.

  I am currently using OS X El captian and it's extremelly slow. Please tell us which is the best OS for her to be able to function properly.

  Thank you very much

  specifications:

  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

  NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

  The Snow Leopard is one of the more stable OS Ive ever used, but you won't have a lot of features.  Mavericks is in the Middle, has more features and is always quite stable. I would, however, try to reinstall El Capitan, or deleting some files to free up space.

  See you soon,.

• How to replace the speaker for Macbook pro mid-2010

• 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 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.
