Bird Poop Caterpillar Defense Mechanism

These caterpillars that look like bird poop are larvae of the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly. They seem to like my Mandarin plant and the five of them have pretty much eaten it bare. I tried to move them to a different plant and their reaction startled me. (some sound effects added)
13 inch Macbook Pro A1708 (2017) screen replacement
Переглядів 1292 роки тому
About a month ago, my daughter's Macbook screen started showing some irregularities. Upon further investigation, there appeared to be a crack in the lower left hand corner. A repair shop quoted us nearly $600 to replace the screen. Since I had previously replaced the SSD with my daughter, I felt comfortable giving the screen replacement a try, especially after watching some youtube how-to video...

The last two hatchlings leave the nest. It was very interesting to observe how adult finches congregated outside our foyer,where the nest is located, to "help" the hatchlings fly to the nearest tree. I also like it how themother finch came and fed the last hatchling one more time and shortly thereafter it flew out of the nest.

Kind regards ❤❤❤
thanks for the video, lane keep assist, blind side warning and turn signals go out. Dealer says it's starter battery, others have said it's the aux battery now I'm confused. Advice?
Not sure...did the aux battery warning come on?
Have u reset ur settings
Great Video. thank you. I assume the battery is still holding up well ?
It held up well all the way up til i sold the car last may
Any programing needed after replacing?
Hi! Thanks for watching. I don't remember needing to reprogram anything after swapping out the small battery. Good luck!
Would this effect the sunroof and seat from operating correctly if it going out and needs replacing
Not too sure about that...all i remember getting was the warning and wondering what it meant...it never gave me any other problems after changing. I just sold the car about a month ago
@@wenchunfan Nice. Hopefully you got a GL550 :)
great video, I wonder what this battery is use for.
It is a support battery for car electronics. I think the main battery won't be able to support the electronics while it is used to crank the engine running.
Hi bro, did you noticed some difference about mac speed by original ssd vs replacement?
how's the battery drain after the upgrade ? I heard that the upgrade will remove the sleep function of the SSD. How was it ? Planning to upgrade as well. Thank you
Hello. After one year of operation, are you satisfied with the battery?
Yes! Everything works fine!
Self Doubt......... and then............. another round of Self Doubt........lol !!! Been there, Did that.............. many times. Very good video and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
thank you
Why low coolant
no comments on the purpose of the aux battery.. preserve the data if you replace the main battery i believe. that car contains a programmable module for every thing you can think of so losing setup when you work on power is the norm. you should be happy the car starts. .
Amazing! Is it okay if we use a short section of this clip in our upcoming video? You will be credited accordingly. Thanks!
Sure!
@@wenchunfan Thank you!
can we do that with the 2018 models?
Hi! If it has a touch bar I dont think you can

xD i love the teamwork. no one else accurately depicts how tricky it can be to remove the back; thank you!
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful!
You didn't show how you had to create a copy of MacOS on a thumb drive before opening up the MacBook to reinstall the software onto the new ssd.
You don't copy, you create a bootable USB drive, lots of instructions online on how to do that. However you should copy all your files from the old Apple first otherwise you'll have no way of accessing them once the drive is removed.
Hi, today I did the same procedure with you but failed. (Same SSD) Somehow I cannot install the new MacOS on the SSD successfully. It installed about one hour then back to the question folder. Any ideas? Which OS did you use? What method did you use for recovery the data? Internet recovery or OS startup USB? Thanks in advance.
Hi Im on the same case ... The original drive died ... Put 1TO OWS inside the mac but the system refuse to install.. Because I did not install HIgh sierra on the old drive and the system is not flashed . The only way is to put back an original apple ssd , making upgrade then put the new drive .. Fu... Apple
@@anthonycoppet8788 I got the solution for installing the OS. You have to start it with the original OS by internet recovery. Once the installation failed, don’t panic. All you need to is to launch your MacBook again. You will notice it is installing again.
I made this upgrade 1 year ago, but the battery life isnt working well, any solution?
Hello! I muself do not know of any solution sorry
𝔭𝔯𝔬𝔪𝔬𝔰𝔪
Nice work guys!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Guys, I just did the upgrade but, the battery is not charging anymore. I'm not sure if maybe it's because of the drive, or if I mess it up. If anyone knows something about it, I will greatly appreciate it. Also I have connected a USB audio interface because I work with music and does not seem to work properly after the install. The signal comes in and out. ¿Do you think has to do with the power consumption of the hard drive? Please, if someone experimented this problems and found a solution, let me know.
Hi Andres, sorry for the alte reply! I am wondering if the connector for the battery was not put back properly? There is a step where the battery is disconnected....maybe thats the reason? Hope this helps!
what screw driver do you use
Hi Zoubir, thanks for watching, these are the screw drivers used: 5-Point Torx Plus 1.2 (pentalobe compatible) screwdriver (for the screws on the oustide) T5 1.5 (for screws inside)
I did this upgrade. Now the SSD only shows up in Disk Utility 50% of the time. It will be there and then I reboot and its gone. And back and forth it goes. Anyone have any ideas or run into this?
Hi Josh, thanks for watching! I am not sure why your SSD only shows up part of the time. Hopefully you've found a way to resolve it by now!
3:51 useless part, i upgraded my ssd without touching this part and it totally works
Hello, and thanks for watching. Congratulations on your successful upgrade! 351...are you referring to disconnecting the battery? If I had to do this over again I would still definitely disconnect the battery. Yeah, you might be able to get away with not doing it, but I'd hate to cause a short and damage the laptop if i accidentally touch something I didnt mean to...
will this adoptor fit to A1706 Macbook Pro model?
Hi Burt, thanks for watching! This particular bracket's description does not say it is compatible with A1706, but I checked on amazon and there are severala dapters that say they work with both A1708 and A1706.
Hi there, I made a comment earlier about the battery draining even while plugged in. Just letting you know that the TRIMFORCE command and disabling hardware acceleration helped fix the issue so now when plugged in it charges, however the battery still drains pretty quickly when unplugged.
Thanks for the update Daniel!
Hope
I just upgraded my macbook pro. I decided not to disconnect the power leed from the battery as I didn't want to break it..t was also hard getting the back lid off..some tense moments.
Nice job! Yes, lots of intricacies. Glad you were able to do the upgrade!
Everything still working as expected? No issues?
I mean after the upgraded SSD, of course :)
Hi Bryan, yes, the laptop hasn't had any issues and works normally

Tried the same upgrade on the same model but the hd doesn't show up
Hello and thanks for watching! Sorry to hear that the drive didn't show up after you changed it. Did the machine boot up?
@@wenchunfan it just shows a folder with a question mark
@@sleepingproblems9060I believe the question mark means the Mac is looking for the OS to boot from. We had backed up everything to a USB drive, and attached that when we restarted the Mac book after changing the ssd. Hope you are able to resolve this quickly!
Hi, is it normal that a fan runs so fast when I present a power point and zoom or OBS at the same time??? the speed is at around 7000, and the machine gets hot so quickly too. I bought the macbook in nov 2017, a week ago the LCD was replaced fullset also the keybaoard. The lcd replacement was due to flickering and flash
Hi! Thanks for watching! I checked with my daughter and she says her Mac books fan comes one when she's running a lot of programs at the same time. Did this start happenning only after you had the screen changed?
@@wenchunfan thanks for asking her, sir. It happens since my macbook has a screen problem also after replacing it. When I asked the person who did service my macbook, he told me everything inside the macbook is clean...
@@saracyber1 Seems like a lot of functions are connected , like who would have thought changing the ssd would affect battery life? Maybe changing the keyboard and/or LCD affected a sensor or something and now the fan comes on more? I am just guessing here, not an expert at all. Hope you can resolve it somehow...
@@wenchunfan thanks a lot again, sir...what is your daughter do to the macbook at the end when the battery gets dry? I heard apple has a free battery replacement recently. Anyway, I also think the same and asked already about the effect over replacing the screen and keyboard. Because my macbook pro LCD was from Samsung, but they changed my LCD with the manufacturer of LG because only LCD from LG which is new and available at home. I wonder and ask the store if it will effect the battery and machine performa, they said: it won't. Then I found your video of fixing and read about your battery update after changing the SSD.. Mine probably will experience the same :(
@@saracyber1 really? I will have to look into that! These days it doesn't matter as much since she's home and always close to power, but when she goes back to school it could be a bit of a challenge.
I’m seeing a folder with a question mark . How do I fix it?
Hi David, thanks for watching! Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe the question mark means the Mac is looking for the OS to boot from. We had backed up everything to a USB drive, and attached that when we restarted the Mac book after changing the ssd. Hope you are able to resolve this quickly!
I just removed the SSD lol. Forget disconnecting the battery never done it...
Thanks for watching, and glad you were able to change the ssd out! Yeah I think disconnecting the battery is out of abundance of caution
you guys rock..... Let me know if you guys need any help related to any thing like software , harware or any OS related your queries.
thanks so much!
Hello :) Great video. Thank you. I used the same SetUp and everything works great. Bigger SSD place is great :) ... I have the only small problem. After this replacing the SSD started my macbook to overheat :/ Ventilator does not stop ... Can you help me how to fix this?
Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear you are having problems with heat dissipation after the switch. That is something I have not encountered, so I am not sure how to fix it. Hopefully you can find a solution to this issue soon!
Just upgraded mine to 1TB 2 weeks ago. Went very smoothly and am very happy with the result. Same as you the only issue I’ve noticed is the increased drain on battery life. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, and glad your upgrade went smoothly! Hopefully there will be some solution to the battery power management issue in the near future!
I have one last question .. sorry I'm borrowing and maybe annoying with it I've got it now, thank you! However, I deleted the new SSD directly in the hard disk utility on the left and then partitioned it without first "showing all devices" and then deleting and partitioning the Sabrent SSD, I hope you know what I mean. Only then did I see that the Sabrent was displayed to me and then I did the same again for the now correct SSD, everything went well, but I'm afraid that I might have "broken" something by deleting 2 media directly and reformatted .. would that be bad? I hope I could explain the problem
Hey there, thanks for watching! Sorry I do not recall having to deleting and partitioning the SSD...All I did was choose how to format it, and then do a restore...Good luck!
Thank you for this! I’ve been thinking of upgrading mine as well, since I cheaped out and got the 128gb too lol
Thanks for watching and good luck with your upgrade!
I did this too buying it for my daughter but she doesn't use it since the school required ipad so i bought her ipad pro 11 instead and now i have to use this for programming. 128b is severely lacking for it. Im wondering if i should sell this and buy macbook mini m1 instead ( i dont need mobile use) or upgrade to 1tb. What do u guys think i should do, the m1 has powerful gpu/cpu power and very affordable. Need some ideas lol. Cheers.
@@telostia idk about your choice but here’s something to consider: you can get windows on this MacBook and cannot for m1 apple silicon macs. So just a note. I absolutely need windows so I won’t be buying a apple silicon Mac.
Bootcamp support???
I changed mine last month (Jan-21) to 512GB using the same sabrent rocket ssd and it works fine so far. Did noticed the battery life take a dip but not a major concern. What I found out the trickiest part was to format the drive in recovery mode as it didn’t mount and had to reboot again to start the process. After that due to some issues I could not install the OS as the drive was in HFS+ not APFS as that option wasn’t available at formatting stage. After some googling and youtube tutorial search, I managed to make the drive formatted as APFS and install the OS afterwards. It was quite an experience for me and quite satisfied with the result as well..Now I don’t have to be very mindful of what I keep in the macbook compared when to it had measly 128 GB. Planning to upgrade it to either 1 TB or 2 TB in couple of months time as those have higher write speed than the 512 GB version.
HI Khalis, thanks for sharing your experience and glad everything is working! I do remember we had some issues formatting the new SSD , and I recall that the APFS option was not very obvious in the choices presented when asked to format. I think we had to change a different option, then the APFS option came up. Sorry its kind of vague. Glad you figured it out!
I've upgraded my A1708 to the Sabrent 1tb from the stock 128gb in December 2020. I went to install a fresh copy of the OS from a bootable Mojave USB, but Mojave's Disk Utility doesn't allow you to format your new drive to APFS. But you can format the drive for APFS using Terminal instead. After installing the OS I booted the Mac into Safe mode to clear caches, then I reset the PRAM and Power Management and enabled the TRIM command in Terminal. So far I am not having any battery drain issues or, as some have reported, the flashing question mark that sometimes appears if you boot the Mac with power connected. The only thing I have noticed is, that after a few days of continuous use, the mac starts to stutter and slow down. A shutdown and restart clears this for me. It is not a major issue for me; the benefits of having so much more storage space out weighs this one niggle. I used the iFixit website as a guide to doing the upgrade.
@@d3fenc367 Good to know that it works alright for you too. I just knew about TRIM command when you mentioned it as I have never heard everybody else talk about it. For me there is no noticeable slow down as I always shut it down after done using it and occasionally let it in sleep mode especially when I’m out for a short while..nothing of major concern so far. I fully agree the benefits outweigh the cons and pretty happy with that!
@@wenchunfan Yeah the APFS option wasn’t that obvious and to be honest it was quite nerve wrecking as well as I thought I had screwed it up, my mbp is gone!
