harddrive

Hi All! Ive found my old white macbook from probably 2009 which I have a vague memory of mining some bitcoin on in 2010. Not sure how much i ended up with =) (just a fun fact and reason i want to reuse it). the battery has exploded and pushed the touchpad and some of the keys out so it seems it...

I am trying to set up my new internal SSD (WD_Black SN750 2TB) with a Sintech adapter on my late 2013 Mac Pro after my factory 256gb ssd failed a bit ago and am having issues where the new SSD seemingly is not being recognized. To begin I prepared a USB boot drive (tried both Big Sur & Mojave)...

Hello, I cannot find an important external harddrive which contains a lot of professional work. So, I am trying to find out when it was "last plugged into" my MacBookPro. I think was sometime between Oct 25th and November 6th. What I've tried - Console / System.log files for evidence of...

Hi there! I have a 2.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 MBP (15", 2016) and I use a HooToo Hub so I can connect multiple external hard drives. For some reason, my external hard drives occasionally eject randomly with the "Disk Not Ejected Properly" warning. I'm obviously concerned about damaging my...

Good morning y'all I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2012 and my cat spilled hot coffee on it ;( and it doesn't boot up.So I m planning to take it to the service centre but would like to erase the entire hard drive and factory reset the system. If I remove the internal hard drive use a connector and...

I wasn't sure if this was the right forum for this. Perhaps it should go in the accessories section. Either way, I have a 2019 Mac Pro that is experiencing persistent shutdown issues when my external hard drives are mounted. I have a WD My Book Duo Thunderbolt drive (attached via a TB2 to TB3...

Hello, So, I recently got an ATA-3 to USB adapter for my iMac's hard drive. To sum up, the hard drive size is 40gb, and I have no system on it, my G3's CD drive is dead. I was wondering, could I do one of two things: 1. Install and "Bless" Mac OS 9 by copying a form of it from my G5 (10.5)...

Hi folks, I have a fairly old Macbook Pro (I think it's 2011/12). I was using it last night then the battery cut out. When I went to charge it up and power up, it gave me this screen (pic attached). Do you know why this has happened, and do you have any advice as to steps I should take? I...

Hey everyone I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and tried reinstalling OS X on it and picking a HD. All that was there was a recovery hd. When I went into Utility’s all I see on left side was Untitled were Macintosh usually is. Hard drive is wiped capacity and used are exactly the same. Anything I...

I need help. Bought an old 2007 iMac with the flashing / blinking question mark folder icon. Used Command + R to boot up into Disk Utility (only worked by me creating a Bootable USB flash drive). Now in disk utility I have a problem... I can’t erase or partition Disk 1 or Disk 2 (please see...

Hello all Not too long ago, I tried to update my MacBook Pro to the newest OS (Mojave). I downloaded the updater etc. and started updating my software. I didn't mind, so I just let it update for itself. I came back some hours after, to a black screen, and nothing responding. The computer didn't...

I used this common in terminal (diskutil partitionDisk disk2 GPT HFS+ newdisk R) from another post here to try to get my 1TB Toshiba External USB HD to work on both PC and Mac. I was trying to do this WITHOUT erasing any files on the drive. Not only did it repartition, it erased everything and...

So I have a macbook pro 8,1 from late 2011 whose hard drive is very very slow I was given a faster, larger drive by a friend (same dimensions, etc). I know how to physically swap them, but can someone point me in the right direction in terms of cloning BOTH of my partitions to the new disk while...

So. I spilled green tea over my Macbook Pro Retina (2015) and it fizzled and died in my arms. I had to purchase a new Macbook as I needed it for work. Old Mac won't turn on at all. My uncle works with computers (windows not Macs) and had a look at my Mac to hopefully recover the HD. Initially...

A few days ago I left an external hard drive connected to my MacBook. MacBook's battery drained and therefore the drive was "not properly disconnected". Ever since I can't have access to my drive anymore. I've been trying to mount it or verify it with Terminal as well as Single User Mode fsck...

My parents have a late 2013 27’ iMac that came with a traditional HD. After some years (beginning of 2016) the system was being a bit sluggish so I convinced them to upgrade the thing with a SSD to speed things up. I ordered a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD. Gave it to my parents and they passed the SSD...

Hello,I am a new member here so hello to you all. I recently bought a 128GB MacBook Air and overall I am happy with my purchase. However, I notice that when doing everyday computing tasks like browsing the web and listening to music etc, that the hard drive space slowly decreases. My question...

Hi MacRumors, I've struggled with my MacBook Pro Primo 2011 (Yes, I should upgrade..) for the past month or so. It started out by occasionally displaying the flashing folder when booting up, but I could get past that by rebooting a couple of times. Now I've reached the point where I'm not able...

Last night I had a major problem with my 2012 15 inch MacBook Pro. All of a sudden my hard drive starts making a loud clicking noise and then after several minutes the device completely shuts off. I try to power it back up and I get a white background with an icon of a file folder with a gray...

Hi. After an unfinished install of BootCamp Windows I seem to be missing 40GB of space on my hard drive, that I can't manage to recover... Pls see screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/54vj7ofz7r0g9yr/Screenshot%202017-05-26.png?dl=0 I have a 256GB drive but system HD is only 200GB. Anyone...
