MacBook Pro :: Putting Owc Ssd In My Mbp?

MacBook Pro :: Putting Hdd To Sleep When Possible?
Mar 11, 2010Years ago it was rumored spinning down was bad for hard disk head's. Of course there would be the obvious energy being wasted keeping them spinning all the time. I've been looking around to see if there's been any new opinions or new technologies that have changed. Obviously I'm talking about HDD's (not SSD's).

May 27, 2012I have a question regarding my MacBook Air's battery. I'm currently deciding to switch the battery for the new one because it has been 4 years and the battery can only last 1 hour 10 mins the most when fully charged. My question is if I pay $139 for the new battery, is this new battery the one for MacBook Air 4,1 (lasts 7 hours) or the one for the original MacBook Air 1,1 (lasts 5 hours).
View 1 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Putting Windows7 On My Macbook?
Dec 21, 2010I installed windows 7 on my macbook using bootcamp and apple told me how to log in under mac osx but they wouldn't help me beyond that.
when I log in under windows, there's no volume even though I've tried adjusting the volume. the screen is @ a low resolution and I've said "fine, that won't affect the machine's performance and it may take up more room anyway, I think?" I can't right click on anything. Also~ very important~ I can't get wi~fi under windows. However, all these things are not an issue when I log in under Mac OSX and everything works exactly as it did before I loaded Windows. I think I need drivers for windows but how do I get them??????
the reason I loaded windows in the first place was I have an external hard drive that has I believe 80 gigs of my music, pictures, documents, and other data. I did not know there was that many gigs of data on there and I had to guess as to the size partition I wanted for windows. I ended up making a 50 gig partition. I didn't know if it was possible to uninstall windows and reinstall it. I bought this copy of windows new and have only used it on this macbook. Also I don't have any data under windows (nothing I care about,anyway) only some music and other data under Mac OSX.
which brings me to another issue. When I log into windows, it says, "This copy of Windows is not genuine." But it is!
So these are my issues~
~how do I get windows drivers to fix keyboard issues?
~is it possible to uninstall windows and reinstall it so it has more gigs?
~why to goodness is it telling me this copy of windows isn't genuine?
~and I'm saying all this @ once because I don't know where to begin and I would really appreciate your help and time.

Mar 30, 2010I would of searched for this question first but i am pretty unsure in what to google or mroogle for lol.basically this very annoying spot the shape of the stalk of the apple logo has appeared on my macbook. I had a look and the start in the aluminium on my macbook has actually started to work its way in. I KNOW this is no fault of my own as the laptop has not been out the house since i got it. its always on the desk or sometimes, in its case.
its not that bad tbh, but extremely annoying. You can only see it on a white screen or something light. For example [URL]so you do notice it alot. Its like a glowing section of the screen, brighter than the rest. no pixels are dead.what should i do. Its 1 week out of warranty with PCWorld, so they won't repair it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Putting The Full File System On A SSD?
May 4, 2012I'm thinking about getting a macbook pro with an SSD (and I know the refresh is just around the corner, but for business reasons,this money has to be spent now). It seems most people put the OS and apps on the SSD, and keep a hard drive for all their data. If I could pare down my data suffiently, would it be reasonable to put the whole file system on an SSD? My worries is that the frequently-created files like various /tmp files would significantly reduce the life of the SSD, even if I have TRIM support.(I'm thinking about getting one of the OWC Mercury Extreme SSDs, for what it's worth.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Wrap The Cord When Putting Away Your MagSafe Charger?
Aug 2, 2009A few of you may not know, but the prongs on the power adapter are supposed to be used to wrap the cord around when you are putting it away.
I'm curious to know if any of you actually do this.
I'm afraid to do this because I fear that the cord will eventually get weak from being wrapped around and the part of the wire that connects to the actual power adapter might become loose.
I'd like to know if someone has done this very frequently and hasn't experienced any problems.

Windows On Mac :: Putting Vista On Macbook Pro Running Tiger
Jan 24, 2010I guess I have two questions about this.
1. Is it possible to run vista (home premium) on a mac running tiger?
2. If it's possible, can it be installed without clearing the hard drive? I don't want to have to transfer and reinstall apps, ideally. I know this has to do with partitioning, but beyond that I'm clueless.
OS X V10.7 Lion :: Macbook Pro Putting Files From External HDD In The Trash Bin?
Jul 2, 2012I just got my new macbook pro today , and when I plugged in my toshiba portable external HDD, the computer put every (or what appears to be every) file in the trash bin. Strangely, the files are still on the HDD and the files disappear when I eject it. I reconnected the hard drive multiple times and the problem still persists. I cannot find one logical explanation as to why this is happening.

MacBook Pro :: Order To Upgrade To Lion After Putting In A Brand New Hard Drive In It?
Apr 9, 2012I have a 2008 macbook pro with brand new 500GB hard drive and 6GB new RAM. My old hard drive is backed up on external drive, via time machine. When the shop put in the new hard drive (there was nothing wrong with old one, it was just stuffed to the brim), they loaded snow leopard from a disk, but I haven't put anything from the old drive back on yet....I haven't even configured my mail and am just reading mail from ipad and phone these days.
Should I install Lion before I restore all the old backed-up stuff, or is it important to have anything, ( like maybe preferences) already on the computer when I download Lion. I want to be selective when restoring from time machine, because my old hard drive had a lot of ancient software and junk on it that had migrated from every computer we've ever owned, and that is many, many.So, I'm just stuck on the best way to proceed. Also, should I install the latest update for 10.6.8 before I download Lion? I see today that some new updates have become available; java, security, safari, and apple software installer.

Mac Pro :: Putting 2 SSD's Into My Mac Pro
Nov 21, 2010I've got 2 SSD's left over from a G-TECH Mini SSD RAID.
What is the best way to add these to the Mac Pro? I do have 2 drive bays open but it makes more sense to use these in a RAID 1 or 0 in one bay.
I know about ICY DOCK MB982SPR-2S as a possible option but what else is there? I'm worried the speed won't be that great in the ICY DOCK. Does anybody have any testing to say better?
The two SSDs are 128GB's Samsung's.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHardware :: Putting SSD In Mini?
May 5, 2010I'm considering getting a Mini for web programming. I do a lot of text searches so I want to put a SSD in it. Does the Mini have any limitations that might effect the performance of a SSD?
I'm trying to decide if I should get a Mini Server. I'd like to be able to have two internal drives so one can be SSD for OS and the code I'm working on, and the other can be my storage drive. However, I'm not sure if I'll be using the extra functionality of the server edition OSX or not, so I'm reluctant to pay the $200 premium. In a "regular" Mini I could put the SSD internal and use an external big drive, but would the external drive be fast enough via Firewire?
PowerPC :: Putting A B&W With G4 Upgrade To Use
Sep 19, 2010My buddy just gave me a B/W PowerMac G3 with a Sonnet Tech G4 1GHz upgrade kit and OS X 10.4.10.
I've been wanting to setup a proxy to bypass the content filters on the WiFi networks I find on the road. For instance, I can't go to the iPhone Dev Team website with the network I'm currently on.
Do the parts exist to also turn it into a Gigabit +Draft N router? It would sure be nice to kill two birds with one stone.
I don't know anything about setting all of this up, how would I go about it?
