Just updated my MacBook Pro to a 1tb SSD to thanks to your tutorial... Thank you so much 👍
It's 2020.. but the video still great.. thanks
Tried all others ways and failed and then i found this video 😍 Worked for me 100% !!! Thank you !!
Only the link for super duper is not working so go on Google find yourself one its very easy.
Thank you for the instructions video for the SSD setup. Such a huge difference in the performance of my MBPro 2012. I was debating on doing this upgrade using a flash drive. But with style of setup, it made a noob like myself super satisfied with this upgrade.
Happy to help
Thanks so much, this was really helpful.. struggled with a few other similar videos but Super Duper worked a treat. Great tutorial
Thanks for posting this video. It helped me out a lot. Tonight am going to install the SSD two 8gb ram sticks. 8/6/18
Great!!!!
Media Unlocked my mid 2010 MacBook Pro is flying after the install. Thanks again!!
Happy to help
Thanks! watched 10 useless videoes, yours got me the help👍
happy to help.
Zeer goede uitleg , dankjewel
Super Duper is really simply, great advice. Anything special about cloning a 750GB with only Apps (no data) into a 500GB SSD? In preparation for a changeover to an SSD I backed up all data files to external drives and I want to clone only the apps and op sys. I have a MacBook Pro late 2011, i7 with 16 of memory, but it is taking 14 hours and is not completed. I suspect is the difference in drive size. What would you do?
During the cloning process with SuperDuper on the external SSD, Mac OSX is included in the copied back up files - so after the back up all you have to do is swap the new SSD, and then you’re good to go ?… Or you must reinstall the Operating System all over again, with DVD / Recovery Mode / MacOSX Installer .. etc ..
Thanks for your time "Media Unlocked" !
Thanks for the video never had a Mac I bought a use one and upgrade the HDD to SSD it help with Super Duper
Great!!!
Every time I try to copy everything to my ssd it doesn’t seem to work I’ve tried every way and whenever I try to boot it either from the external or actually put it inside it always reads as nothings in it
Do you have to connect the SSD by USB initially or can it be in where the optical drive was? I have already installed the SSD in to optical drive slot, however have not cloned yet.
what kind of cable did you use to connect the ssd to the laptop to do the cloning
would super duper bring de bootcamp windows on to the new ssd at the same time?
what did you use to connect the ssd to the laptop?
I took an external hd apart and used it.
When I try to open my computer with my new ssd (after i’ve cloned it) the apple doesn’t show it’s replace by a circle with a cross 🚫... what did i do wrong? Also, when I open the disk Utility my new ssd doesn’t have any apps cloned... HELP! Please...
Thank you,
Julia
Thank you so much
Will all my applications, like logic pro x and vst/au plugins still be accessible on the new clone? or will i have to reinstall my plug ins and possibly have to re enter licenses/serial keys for certain programs?
That's the question that I have.
I ended up purchasing the 2tb ssd thunderbolt enclosure by Akitio. It might be hard to come by I know I got the last one that B&H was selling and now the product is discontinued because they are trying to push the thunderbolt3 enclosure with mostly every company that makes this type of product. I cloned my macbookpro mid2012, which had all my plugins and apps that I need. Make sure you format the drive properly, using disk utility when you plug the ssd into the clone source. Do this before you clone, so the drive will be bootable. I used carbon copy cloner to clone the macbook hard drive. After that, I plugged the new clone into my Imac and use it as my start up now, it is so fast! ALL my software and plugins are working, komplete 10 required me to re enter my service center password because it recognized the imac as a new computer. It still worked.
If you are going to be getting a new ssd to clone an old harddrive, and you want it to be external so you can use it as a bootable start up disk on other computers, I recommend investing in a good external ssd and going the thunderbolt route instead of usb3.0 if possible.
I’m running parallel for windows. Will this cause a problem with cloning a SSD. I’m just using disk utilities and not super duper. I’m getting errors:
/sbin/newfs_hfs failed with error 256
Could not restore - input/output error
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error 5.)
Operation failed...
Any help would be appreciated.
Great series. It really helped me understanding the upgrade process. I have few questions though:
1) Is it a good idea to upgrade the RAM beyond its official limit? Like my macbook pro mid 2012 should have max 8gb of total RAM(4+4) as per the Apple's website.
2) I do not want to clone the older OS. I want the entirely new OS to be installed on my new SSD. But I do want to keep the photos and videos and movies from my older HDD. Can I do that.
Again thanks for this awesome videos. Really helped!
You can copy the files to an external hd. I believe 8 is all it will accept
Great vid!! Do all the applications load ok without having to input licences etc? Media Unlocked
Dru Haye it should
Hello, thanks for uploading the video - it's very helpful. I'm just wondering what is the device you used to connect the ssd to the laptop via the USB before backup?
It is a piece from external hard drive encloser.
@@MediaUnlocked will it do the same thing with a SATA to USB cable?
Can I also use Time machine to clone the disk?
How much ram will a MacBook Pro mid 2009 take? Because I looked up the Percs it said 8GB. I bought a 8GB Ram kit. But when I installed them my computer was making a beeping noise when I powered it on. I have 1066MHz DDR3 I think it's 4x2GB. Is this what I need?
it will do 2 4gb of ram but not one 8gb of ram.So 8gb is the max.
Whats the song at the end of the video? Love it!
Very helpful. Thanks!
+Aces High thanks
Thank you for the video! Is it necessary to also select a partition (GUID) during this setup? Or will it work without that step? Thank you so much I appreciate any comment or help.
+Gabriel Fox You should be fine not no doing a partition guid
Great job! Thank you so much!
William Parsons happy to help
Bob H Yeah, this is the same problem I've encountered.
At that point (5:58) my SSD won't boot and my MacBook just shuts down. Is it normal? How do I fix this?
Cloning including boot camp and windows ?
the secret:SUPERDUPER!!!!!
great vid buddy
thanks
If I am doing the exact same thing as you're explaining, why do I need to copy everything over to the new ssd? Can I just leave my old hdd the way it is, move it to the optical bay, and have a brand new ssd to run on? With my hdd for back up and all my older stuff? I just don't understand why the clone is made when keeping the old hdd?
The computer boots off of the bay your original hhd is in. It will not boot from optical bay.
Great video.
I have a question I'd like to ask u.
I bought an SSD, and the kit to replace the optical drive with a memory (either SSD or HDD). The thing is I don't have that USB to SATA cable. Can I ...
1. Open my Macbook and replace the optical drive with my new SSD
2. Clone my data from HDD to SSD once they're both inside
3. Open my Macbook again and change the SSD to be in the place where the HDD is, and change the HDD where the optical bay is.
Will this make it possible to clonate without the cable?
Thanks anyway !
+Juan Lucas De Benito I dont believe that will work.
Yes. Actually it was a bit easier than expected. Both of my macbook interfaces (the ones the hdd and optical drive were initially using) were SATA 3.0, thus once I replaced the optical drive with the SSD, I just cloned my original HDD to the new SSD that was already inside, then I configured the Mac to use the SSD as boot drive and I formatted my HDD. It all worked just smooth and cant be happier with the results. I dont see why many people spend 10 bucks on a Sata to Usb cable when you can actually avoid that
Juan Lucas De Benito what software did you use to clone it? Using the ssd as boot drive works the same as having it in the original hdd place?
do you have to use 'super duper' I've seen tutorials that use the disk utility to copy the HD.
No you do not I just really like Super Duper
You can just use Restore in disk utility and copy to new drive. Put new HDD in and done. Super Duper sometimes messes your extensions up which create admin right errors. Recovery is good.
I just cloned mine yesterday (4/5/18). For some reason I couldn't do it with disk utility so Super Duper rocked it. Took a while but booted up like a charm.
When you clone an SSD, is Mac OS (operating system) also copied during this process? or only files are copied and I have to install operating system?
The OS is also copied.
What sould i do if i cant clone because when i run the super duper but it stop and said “ failed enable ownership”? Thanks
did you ever find out?
Using SuperDuper would I be able to clone my current hard drive to a usb 3.0 flash drive, replace my hard drive with an ssd that has installed mac os (el capitan), use SuperDuper again and copy all of my files from the usb 3.0 to the SSD?
+Jay Garbutt Yes that should work.
great ,thanks guy
Thanks
do i have to clone my hard drive to the ssd externally or can i install my ssd into the optical bay and clone it over that way? also, If my hard drive is partitioned and windows is installed, will this have any effect when i do clone it? Thanks
Arthur Linnane It should not effect any thing and you need to do it externally
can I just clone the system part of the old hdd? .. because my old hdd 500gb is almost full and my ssd is only 256gb intended only for system usage..
guess we will never know.......
you put 16gb of RAM?
If I have windows with boot camp , that operating system is going to be clone too?
Yes
Having a similar problem to John Glue. When booting using the option key the cloned hard drive is not showing up as an option to boot from.
+Adam Beer +Media Unlocked I am having the same problem. Reviewed the SSD and all contents on MAC HD seems to be on the SSD but when I try to boot, the option for SSD doesn't display.
+TheKrizzleDrizzle Make sure the usb is plugged in some time it does not make a good connection. Are you getting the other hd to show up? Make sure you are also holding it down not just clicking it.
Hi Media Unlocked. I am having an issue that I am hoping you can help me out with. I have reformatted the new ssd to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and opened SuperDuper!. After selecting the copy from drive and copy to drive my 'Copy Now' button is not working. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on this. I have looked around the internet and haven't been able to find anything
the hdd that came with my computer is 250GB and the new ssd is 512GB. Is this a problem?
andrewstankyleg try formating it in a different formate
I'm getting a SSD to put in my mid 2010 MBP for the OS and keep the original HDD for storage. would it be better to replace optic drive with the SSD or switch HDD with SSD and put HDD where optic drive is? thanks!
+jackel142 Also wondering the same thing
+jackel142 Your computer will run much better if you make your main drive the SSD as it is much faster. That is what I did. I took my main drive and made it the back up while using the new ssd as my main harddrive.
+Media Unlocked Your computer will run much better if you make your main drive the SSD
as it is much faster. That is what I did. I took my main drive and made
it the back up while using the new ssd as my main harddrive.
Media Unlocked Someone told me that both drives' speed was same. i.e. the ones I have are both 3gbs. (some laptops have drives that are 6gbs or 1.5 gbs).. any idea what all that means?
I forgot to ask. If you use super duper do you need a licensed version or is super duper free ware?
+Dennis M just the free ware version
+Media Unlocked again, thanks so much for taking the time to reply!!!! I really appreciate it. Dennis
+Dennis M No problem
Dennis Mon
Will the free version also clone just as easily?
John Glue Yes it did when I used it
if i got SSD 120 gb and my normal HDD used 400gb, and i want the ssd to just fasten my laptop and run it faster, what should i do?
like i want to use the HDD for all the storage and the new SSD to run the os or run the laptop faster
did you figure it out?
J Rod i just inserted the SSD and HDD in their places and i installed the OS on the SSD and never formatted the HDD and i used it as other harddrive within the computer totally normal
Great video-much appreciated! I have cloned my SSD Drive following your instructions and all went fine.. However, I have initially formatted it for an Extended Journal. Shouldn’t have done it with APFS formation given my current operating system is High Sierra? also, would it effect my time machine drive
later on, as it is currently an external 52K rpm HDD ?
Thank you!
Happy to help
Instead of the sata cable
Can i use the new iphone charger for this?
connor moore No you need a sata cable
Thanks for the vid! My MacBook (2009) has Office and iWork and stuff, would cloning it make them not work anymore?
ZircoBen They should still work
Media Unlocked Okay thanks! I'm just worried the licensing system will detect a change or something...
I can't find the app super duper.
It might not be around any more this video is 5 years old
Mine would not boot up from the SSD at all .
John Glue did you follow step by step email me at mediaunlocked1012GMAIL.COM
Media Unlocked mediaunlocked101@gmail.com
Does this copy the os?
pepitozzzful yes
Thanks. I could clone it and actually I upgrade mi macbook pro. I changed the HD to SSD and works great.
if the Hdd is 750gb and the ssd is 512gb, before the cloning, Should i partition the Hdd 750 into 512 or not?
littlepolitic Is the 750gb full if not just clone it over as long as it all will fit
Media Unlocked what do i do to clone the recovery partition with superduper ??
you go too fast, hard to follow. It is like you assume everyone knows just about as much as you do.
your video is not good because no clear bright
