How to Install a Hard Drive in a 13" MacBook Pro.

[THEboarder177]

just wondering. is this hard drive loud at all? or was it just as quiet as you original apple hard drive

[davidram1]

nice vid

[AMEROSCHANNEL360]

Thank you master, nice video. Good job:)

[AMEROSCHANNEL360]

Wow, nice video. I do really like it. Thanks for doing that , that's give me an idea how to do an upgrade on my Mac pro :)

[deepdive2008]

Hi

I've just followed your steps to upgrade my own HDD but I kept getting the error message 'could not recognise the hard drive'. By then I couldn't eject the installation disk either so I had to remove it, swap back to my old one and reboot again to eject the disk. The new one is formatted but I just can't get it to recognise the new one?

Can you help?

Thanks in advance

[jaman950]

can anyone help me? when i boot my macbook it says "no bootable device". i already have my installation disk in. Any tips?

[crvtes]

with new hard drive will help the macbook pro runs faster? or not?

[rajtemmink]

Helped à lot. You forgot to take the screwes from your old drive and put them on your new one. Now youre drive will bounce up and down in your laptop! And in every laptop from people who followed your example

[huskermania]

@rajtemmink That's why there is the add on video.

[macbookproaustin]

i noticed in your other video you said you have an HDTV and i see it there that you had it connected through mini display port connector to VGA which is good but cannot handle HD quality picture so if you wanted to you can get a mini display port to HDMI input and connect to your HDTV for the best picture…i almost made the same mistake so just trying to help

[CrazyEskimo1212]

so just to be clear if you are restoring your mac from a time machine backup after installing the new hard drive, you still need to put in the snow leopard installation disk?

[GodmodeMuch]

I have that LG tv on the left :D

[BlindKrieg]

Going to install a 1TB WD, thanks!

[malapativamsi]

they say 7200 rpm hdd use more power...did upgrading your hard drive affect u r battery performance and increased heat etc

[lol666]

when I install mac os does it automaticly format the HD?

[mobilzzone]

@lol666 yes you need to format it using the install DVD, but only if it is not pre-formatted, but even if it is formatted its probably done with FAT, and we need the apple HFSJ, so.. yes you will need to format it, just as he shows it in the vid

[l33t0wnage10]

how do u back up everything on a extrnal hard drive with time machine

[rognam]

Thank you!!

[ingrimmmm]

where did you get your hard drive?

[ReggaeSthlm]

Will this transfer installed programs and all that to?

[italkoutloud]

How do you like this hard drive? Reliable? Fast? Quit?

Thanks, God bless, and Jesus loves you.

Yeah Gears Of War II

[thrasher123]

very good vid minus the missing step with the screws being taken off the OLD drive. but this vid is very helpful, thanks!

[robd130]

Another add on should be that if you have upgraded operating system (like from Leopard to Snow Leopard) make sure that you put the same operating system CD in to reboot as the one that you have made your time machine back-up with so they match us.

In other words, I backed up using Snow Leopard and tried to recover my time machine back-up using the original Leopard CD that came with my mac and it didn't work. When I tried again with the Snow Leopard CD it worked like a charm!

[PoGixViRuS]

great vid i had a question.....

when i format my flashdrive to be read in mac and pc works fine on mac but when i plug it in pc it says i need to reformat it... ne ideas y

thanx

[jambuh]

what do you mean with mac osx disc? Is that the same with disc snow leopard ?

[gmani1082]

you forgot to mention to take of the T6 size torq screws off of the old hard drive and screw it into the new one, these 4 screws hold the hard drive in place!!!!!!!!!!

[huskermania]

there is an add on video regarding this. I completely forgot this and found that something was wrong when the computer was really loud. =P but there is a video showing that extra step. Thanks, I added the vid as a video response and put a link in the description so it'll be easier for people to find it.

[UH60Austin]

Gears 2 is freaking awesome!! You have great taste in games!!

[iLoveeApple]

Is This In The Warranty

If I Do That Will they Accept The Computer ???

[jamesjam505]

i want to backup my mac how big exteral hard dive should i get i have 15inch macbook pro

[afg96]

80 GB would be perfect but most of the time they are 250 GB or more so that would be good. It depends if you have 250GB internal hard drive then you would only need about 80GB of external.

[wierasa]

not if you want to back up your files.

[allsports4]

nice video, i might do this

btw if anyone needs lockerz invites, PM me with your email and i will send you one immediately!!!

[christophermayhone]

Thanks for the great video man!

[Protoboy7]

do you have an A+ certificate or NET+

[josiah243]

doesnt this void warranty?

[Othq8]

i don't think so, only if you remove the battery! that voids it.

[huskermania]

no, because I was only installing a new HDD.

[notredame2191]

@huskermania Hey i noticed that you got the 7200 rpm hard drive.. what do you think of it? Does it burn out your battery faster? Does your computer run hotter now? I was trying to find all of this out. Ive been comparing the 5400 vs the 7200 500gb seagate hard drive

[disturbed1566]

i got a cgate 500gb for $60 bucks at best buy

[b00nsmoviesss]

nice vid again!

[EminetCarnage2]

[HondaNSXk]

[BoxterRs]

Great video, hey can you make a video of how to install a new graphics card

[marquesbrownlee]

Also, I can see my future monitor there in the background! XD

[marquesbrownlee]

Great tutorial, man!

[TheJackKuz]

hey nice vids im getting that macbook 13 inch unless there is something newer out that i might want

[azbor1cua]

$160 for 500gb? Holy ish! I would of held off or maybe gotten the 5400 version for now knowing SSD are around the corner of becoming affordable. I got a 500gb 5400rpm WD for $99 at frys.

[Zanpaktou1313]

Awesome video as always. I love his new Mac series

[wayside5]

nice man
