• Can't erase hard drive MacBook Pro - "could not disassemble the drive.

  I lost my original install discs Mountain Lion. Spin a MacBook Pro (2011 model).

  I found some articles that show you how to remove & reinstall everything without use of the physical disks. It is to restart my MacBook, pressing command-R, will using this toerase my hard drive and disk utilities

  However, when I try to wipe my drive, this error message appears: "erase disc failed with the error: failed to unmount disk.»

  I have attached a picture of the error that is displayed.

  On the left side of the utility window of disc (see attachment), there where hard disks are displayed, it shows the drive of 500 GB Toshiba MK. Directly below is the option "Macintosh HD."

  This error ONLY appears when I try to erase the disc from Toshiba. But this allowed me to erase the hard drive Macintosh option. Why is this? My drive was nonetheless erased? Or I still have to do something else?

  Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

• Pass water damaged hard drive Macbook Pro (mid-2010) to another Macbook Pro (mid-2010)?

  Someone accidentally spilled water on my MacBook Pro 'Core i7' 2.66 GHz 15 "mid-2010 and after trying to dry out for a few days, I'm sure that the keyboard is in ruins, and it may be worse (I suspect the logic board like most people), but I need to (would really) keep my documents etc. However, we happen to have an another i7 2.66 GHz 15 "mid 2010 Macbook Pro lying around not being used. I'm a student in computer engineering and I'm pretty good with electronics and figure, that I can use the practice, so I was planning on trying to replace the keyboard myself, but I plan on getting a new MBP in the next few months, so I'd rather do less work if possible. MY MAIN QUESTION IS: since I'm very lucky and I have two little nearly exact same model MBP can put the hard drive of the damaged water MBP (also long the HDD no is not damaged by water) in the MBP running? And if so, what would be my challenges and if it works well enough to use for a month or two? Thank you!

  TLDR: I can take a HDD on a MBP and put it in a similar model without too much difficulty?

  Yes, but you're probably better to put in an envelope instead. If you start another Mac, or in an enclosure closed or internally, a very small number of parameters will not be postponed, and some commercial programs may refuse to run.

• Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

  Hello

  My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

  I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

  My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

  Advice/suggestions appreciated.

  See you soon

  Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

  See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

  As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.

• Hard drive MacBook Pro broken?

  Hi all

  Last night my Macbook hung - spinning wheel and non-sponsive so difficult to hold down the power button and I think I have hard disk problems:

  I get the grey folder flashing when I start.

  Boot in safe mode does not work.

  Boot in Apple Hardware test does not work

  I can boot to OS X Utilities (cmd + r) and have tried to restore from a backup and it does not find a local disk to restore. I have a backup stored on the time machine.

  I also tried to restore Mac OS X from the same menu - and even when it does not find a local disk to restore.

  I ran disk in the same menu utility and I do not get an option to check the disk (in gray) or erase disc (also grey).

  Can anyone advise on the next steps before I take it down to the Apple store? Far from being a guru on this stuff! MacBook is 13 "and 5 years with 512 MB hard drive. Ran the Mavericks.

  Thanks in advance!

• My SSD is not appear in the menu on the boot disk (macbook pro 2012)

  Hello world.  So I just got the macbook pro 2012 and starts to do-it-yourself work last night.  I took out the optical drive, transferred the existing location HARD disk (w / caddy) and installed an SSD in its place.  Then I cloned the SSD HARD drive.  No problems so far.

  When I went to change the boot drive startup disk preferences is where I ran into a problem.  My original HARD drive is the only projection.  I had the problem in choosing the boot drive during the reboot (the SSD will appear in this menu) and makes it the default value it.  SSD works very well and is now my main boot drive.  However, I still would like to show in startup disk preferences.  Is it possible to do (preferably without erasing the SSD)?

  Thank you!

  Relevant info - I'm running El Capitan and I used SuperDuper! to clone the HARD disk.

  OK, can I have found the problem.  Map of partition of the SSD has been MBR, no GUID.  I deleted it, reformatted and I am re-cloning it now.  I'll post the result (I hope that as a confirmed for another solution which meets with this).

  N ° you shouldn't lose all information on the hard drive.

  Make sure that the Mac is saved completely before trying to upgrade the RAM.

• Since the update to El capitan OSX 10.11.4 on my Macbook Pro (2012) I can not connect to the app store - ideas?

  Since the update to El capitan OSX 10.11.4 on my Macbook Pro (2012) I can not connect to the app store - ideas? Im not geek so please be gentle!

  Try restarting mode without failure. To restart in safe mode, restart the computer and press on and hold down the SHIFT key until the Apple icon appears. The computer starts more slowly than usual because the disk utility checks the drive. After getting on the desktop launch the App store and try to connect. Successful or not, once you're done, restart normally to exit safe mode.

• Help of MacBook Pro 2012 JBL headphones

  Hello. I just got the JBL 300 Everest helmet for my birthday a few weeks ago. I've tried everything. There is no update program to get this thing to work with my computer Mid MacBook Pro 2012. The computer is one year in July 2016. 2015 purchased. Anyway, the strange thing is, works automatic JBL with the Ipad Mini 1st gen 2012. I don't know why it will not work with the Mac (laptop)? I spent tons of money on it and do not use the headset!  The bluetooth features are still available, but the connection does not work between JBL through Macbook Pro!  Please help me as soon as possible!

  Thank you! Jilly

  Try to forget the JPB on your iPod and turn off the Bluetooth on the iPad. . It is likely that it is trying to trick on your iPod, not your Mac.

  Also make sure that no other Bluetooth device is within reach.

  Hello Varshil07,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message, by updating your Mac you have forced stop, or you have closed the lid, and now it does not start.  To start, I suggest that try you to start in safe mode by following the instructions below.  For later use, it's a good idea to not force the computer to shut down or close the lid while it is up to date, because it can cause problems.

  1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

  2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

  3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

     You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

  4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

  To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

  OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

  Have a good.

• Which hard drive buy for my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB HD 320?

  After receiving an error of 10-FA12 - 054D and do not recover my laptop to zone out, I believe that I have to buy a new hard drive.

  Which hard drive buy for my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB HD 320?

  You can check the Toshiba site for which specifications you need.  A general rule is to buy something at least two times greater than the one that failed, because the data use and therefore the space doubles every 18 months.

  You may want to consider a large enough to allow you to make backups and store in another partition
